Favorite Lyrics!!

I adore Everlong by the Foo fighters. "Breathe out, so I can breathe you in", isn't that the most romantic sentence ever? Talking about romantic: "And if a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us to die by your side, well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine". Morissey is definitely one of my favourite song writers.

Other lyrics I like are written by Bob Dylan, Nick Cave or Johnny Cash, because they tell little stories and most of the time the texts are extremely witty (e.g.: Cave: "I feel like a vacuum cleaner: a complete sucker", Cash's 'A boy named Sue').

To end: QOTSA's 'Go with the flow' is superb:

She said "I'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around,
I can't wash you off my skin.

Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway

I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
With something sweet to throw away.
But I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?

I can go with the flow
But don't say it doesn't matter anymore
I can go with the flow
Do you believe it in your head?

' Pretty little policeman in a row'

Love that song

Currently, this song is everything I'm feeling.

Ever since I was young your word is the word that always won. Worry and wake the ones you love. A phone call I'd rather not receive. Please use my body while I sleep. My lungs are fresh and yours to keep, Kept clean and they will let you breathe. Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind. Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these, so I sat alone and waited out the night. The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around. I'm not writing my goodbyes. I submit no excuse. If this is what I have to do I owe you every day I wake. If I could I would shrink myself and sink through your skin to your blood cells and remove whatever makes you hurt but I am too weak to be your cure. Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? I am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind. Nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these, so I sat alone
and waited out the night. The best part of what has happened was the part I must have missed. So I'm asking you to shine it on and stick around. I'm not writing my goodbyes. I'm not letting you check out. You will beat this starting now and you will always be around. I'm there to monitor your breathing I will watch you while you're sleeping. I will keep you safe and sound. Does anybody remember back when you were very young. Did you ever think that you would be this blessed?

They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand

Somehow they stayed that way
For those 5 days in May
Made all the stars around them shine
Funny how you can look in vain
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
The loneliness that cuts so fine
To find the face you've seen a thousand times

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Looking back it's hard to tell
Why they stood while others fell
Spend your life working it out
All I know is one cloudy day
They both just ran away
Rain on the windshield heading South
She loved the lines around his mouth

Sometimes the world begins
To set you up on your feet again
It wipes the tears from your eyes
How will you ever know
The way that circumstances go
Always going to hit you by surprise
I know my past
You were there
In everything I've done
You are the one

Blue Rodeo- 5 Days in May

Accidents Can Happen By Sixx:A.M.

Don't give up, it takes a while
I have seen this look before
And it's alright
You're not alone
If you don't love this anymore
I hear that you've slipped again
I'm here 'cause i know you'll need a friend

And you know that accidents can happen
And it's okay,
We all fall off the wagon sometimes
It's not your whole life
It's only one day
You haven't thrown everything away.

Take some time and learn to breathe
And remember what it means
To feel alive
And to believe
Something more than what you see
I know there's a price for this
But some things in life you must resist

You never listen to a word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair

At The Edge by Stiff Little Fingers - v apt when I was a kid

Back when I was younger they were talking at me
Never listened to a word I said
Always yap yap yapping and complaining at me
Made me think I'd be better off dead
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to hear no lip
Take your share don't shout about it
That's your lot remember you're a kid

They would always teach me that to swear was a sin
Always speak your mind but not aloud
Think of something that you want to do with your life
Nothing that you like that's not allowed
I've no time to talk about it
All your stupid hopes and dreams
Get your feet back on the ground son
It's exams that count no football teams

[Chorus:]
And I'm running at the edge of their world
They're criticising something they just can't understand
Living on the edge of their town
And I won't be shot down

Taught me to defend myself and to be a man
How to kick someone and run away
Gave me everything that any young man could need
But don't understand why I won't stay
Here's your room and here's your records
Here's your home and here you'll stay
Here's somewhere I don't believe in
Wish someone would take it all away

These are my fave for the moment. LOL

Daylight by Matt & Kim They are such a fun little group!


we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Naked Aggression-It’s not my fault that I’m fucked up
I’m just a product of a selfish world
My whole life I’ve been an outcast
Now I don’t care, I don’t want to fit in any more

People are so quick to judge me
I do not care I will not change for them
There’s so much pressure to conform
Iõd rather be dead then act fake and end up just like them

We live in a plastic world where
People like us seem to fall through the cracks
I’m sick of people putting me down
Cause I don’t live up to their fucked up standards
I have created my own world
There’s no rules I can be myself
I don’t care if they don’t like me
I don’t care if they don’t like me- no!

Reba - If I'm not the one thing you can't stand to lose
If I'm not that arrow to the heart of you....
If you don't get drunk off my kiss
If you think you can do better than this
Then I guess we're done
Let's not drag this out....
Consider me gone! ^.^

Lady Antebellum - Girl you're beautiful
You're damn near perfect
But I bet somebody's already told you that
Pick your poison, name your passion
Cuz a boy like me just couldn't help but ask

Keep on talking to me baby
I'm hanging on your every word
Keep those drinks a coming, maybe
We'll both get what we deserve!

Rascal Flatts - God Blessed the broken road that led me straight to you...

I'll be your sky"

"Don't let the world get you down" Some song by System of a Down

"If you want blood, you'll never get a drop out of me" Silhouettic-Birds of Tokyo

"What will happen to a face in the crowd when it finally gets too crowded?
And will happen to the origins of sound after all the sounds have sounded?
Well I hope I never have to see that day, but by god I know it's headed our way.
So I better be happy now that the boy's going home. The boy's gone home."

- Jason Mraz, "The Boy's Gone"

Ben Moody ~10.22



What a tragic affection to harbour,
A soul is seeking salvation to squander,
Such a beautiful burden to bear alone,
I know...

Rants and fictions of violence,
Breaking the silence,
Hiding the wake of our deception,
Guarding desperate secrets buried below,
And you know...


(COURSE)
Tell me again you're **ed up excuses,
Dying fighting a life of abuse,
When fame is your game,
You say I'm to blame,
But you know, but you know...

This moment carries my last hesitation,
Seducing anger to haste my separation,
This solemn piece of a guilty net it grows, so cold,
Your every breath now strengthens my affliction,
My tears have faded, all hope of your conviction,
You were never the martyr you pretended to be,
And you know...


(COURSE)
Tell me again you're **ed up excuses,
Dying fighting a life of abuse,
When fame is your game,
You say I'm to blame,
But you know, but you know...

Tell me again you're **less excuses,
Holding on at the end of the noose,
When fame is your game,
You say I'm to blame,
But you know, but you know...

How they love you now,
Tear drops rain down,
Nobody cares, nobody cares,


(COURSE)
Tell me again you're **ed up excuses,
Dying fighting a life of abuse,
When fame is your game,
You say I'm to blame,
But you know, but you know...

You know...
How they love you now...
You know...
Tear drops rain down...
You know...
How they love you now...

One of my favorite songs for the lyrics is "The Flower" by Kasey Chambers


Well this flower is my soul
But it's not half of what I owe
I should give you every rose that I ever grew
But take this one here for a start
And you can keep it in your heart
I have everything I need because of you

Well if my life was long enough
to pack up everything I love
I would do just that and give it all to you
But it's impossible to pay
All the things that you gave away
So this flower I give will have to do

All the flowers growing wild
For ten thousand lonely miles
It's not near enough to give you what I should
So I will owe you for a while
Maybe longer than my life
I would give you all the world if I could


I always think of my Grandfather when I hear this song....

a few posts above me: matt and kim are zo awesome!
I like the lyrics:
- Save your heart for someone that's worth dying for
-
There's a party in your bedroom all night long
There's a lot of talk about you
'Cuz there's a party in your bedroom all night long
Pretty girl
It's a show
Let it go when you're alone
Lips sealed tight don't say goodnight
-
tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef,
that i'm a vegetarian, and i ain't fucking scared of him.
