So tell me what's wrong
Your pretty white knuckle's about to bleed
You're holding on for dear life now
You ain't holding on to me
And I saw this magic piece of clay
And you saw a burning at the stake
They're both up on the same wall now
I saw you start to shake
We fall apart
We fall together
We're getting worse
We're getting better
Not a moment too soon
See these skies of blue
Can't you see the flowers smile at you
There's clouds inside your eyes now
Where everything there is dying too
I want to hold you if I can
Like there's nowhere else to stand
But you're nowhere to be found now
And there's nowhere you can land
We fall apart
We fall together
We're getting worse
We're getting better
Not a moment too soon
There's things I wish I could say to you
And days I wish I didn't think they were true
There are days I wish I'd never met you
And days I wish there were more of you
That weren't slippin from my view
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.
Napoleon's mother couldn't make it to his coronation. But when he commissioned it, Napoleon told David to paint her in as if she were there, right in the center. Even though she couldn't be there physically he brought her into his life through sheer force of will. There to share in his greatness.
Do you know what my father gave me for my tenth birthday? A copy of The Will to Power. "Behold the Superman - man is something to be overcome." Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, they were the voices that nurtured me after my mother died. My father made every question a quiz, every choice a test. Second best was for losers, compassion for the weak, trust no one. Those were the lessons I grew up with.
The man of tomorrow is shaped by his battles today.
In life, the road to darkness is a journey, not a light switch.
Sentimentality is synonymous with vulnerability
It's like the German poet Rilke said - a person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship
'You've got a nerve to be asking a favor...
You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
I know we've been through this before.
Can't you hear me, I'm calling out your name?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor...
You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
Can't you hear me, I'm bleeding on the wall?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
Can't you hear me when I'm calling out your name?
When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor...
You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
I'm sure we've been through this before.
Can't you hear me, I'm beating on your wall?
Cant you see me, I'm pounding on your door?'
I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride
i've got our love to remember
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye
my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye
we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
but there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye
Blue Jean-she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean - is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
Blue Jean-look out world you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything
Well, I won't back down...
No, I won't back down...
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell...
But I won't back down.
Well I'll stand my ground...
Won't be turned around...
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I will stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Well I know what's right...
I've got just one life...
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I will stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down...
No I won't back down.
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, he's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh, but when he calls
I know he's the one
Makes me want him harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My babies, he's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh when he calls
I know that he's the one
Makes me want it harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see the monsters
Still I see the monsters
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy.
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today...
On our way into the night.
I say it's love, it's hiding deep, deep down inside us all...
So maybe, we'll shed a little love from deep inside...
Love, it's not so tough if you come admit it too...
Well, baby, you're hearts into a thousand pieces dashed...
Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes...
You can't see what I can.
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way
Here we are all of us stand around...
We're leaning heavy on each other.
Always wondering what is it lies behind...
The worried eyes of the woman that I love.
I believe it's love, it's hiding there in the shadows, in the darkness
Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine.
So love, when I approach my tears they fall like rain...
'Cause you know maybe, my heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes...
You can't see what I can.
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way.
I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it now though
Maybe the things a better world that could be loved (?)
But love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain...
You tell me baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed...
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can.
I blindly throw my faith to the face...
Of the next good thing that comes my way.
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross-armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life anymore
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is, it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself
And pinpoint where I am
By the time I get things figured out
I've changed the whole damn plan
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably soon regret
I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself
Clouds roll by
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see
sometimes you're the boxer...sometimes you're the bag...
vacate is the word...vengeance has no place on me or her
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh...
Strange
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
In your eyes so strange
Woke up to a world
That I am not a part
Except when I can play
It's stranger
After all, what were you really looking for?
And I wonder when will I learn
Blue isn't red everybody knows this
And I wonder when will I learn
When will I learn
Guess I was in
Deeper than I thought I was
If I have enough love
For the both of us
"Just stay"
You said "we'll build a nest"
So I left my life
Tried on your friends
Tried on your opinions
So when the bridges froze
And you did not come home
I put our snowflake
Under a microscope
After all, what was I really looking for?
And I wonder when will I learn
Maybe my wish knew better than I did
And I wonder so strange now
I'm finally in
The party has begun
It's not like I can't feel you still
But strange what I will leave behind
You call me one more time
But now I must be leaving
i shut and locked the front door
no way in or out
i turned and walked the hallway
and pulled the curtains down
i knelt and emptied the mouth
of every plug around
but nothing's sound
oh.. nothing's sound
i'd stay here where my last step left me
ignored all my rounds
soon i was seeing visions,
and cracks along the walls
they were upside down
i swallow my words to keep from lying
i swallow my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, diving
i surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
now...i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
it's been about three days now since i've been aground
no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
it's funny when things change so much
it's all a state of mind
i swallowed my words to keep from lying
i swallowed my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, i was diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding...
Woke up yesterday
With you on my mind
So afraid of running out of time
So come around again and I'll show you what I mean
And you can tell me
Exactly what you need
And we can talk all night (we can talk all night)
And I will sing you lullabies (I will sing you lullabies)
Not in every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
Sorry for the time I said too much
I was so afraid that you would fall out of touch
And we can talk all night (we could talk all night)
And I will sing you lullabies (I will sing you lullabies)
Not every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
So come around again (so come around again)
And we can talk all night
So come around again, so come around again
And we can talk all night (and we can talk all night)
I will sing you lullabies
It was christmas eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
Fairytale of New York - The Pogues (the best christmas song ever written)
Homely, thick in mind, never listen
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision
Don't forget this chance only live once
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it all
She said I forgive you
Don't regret our time
You've got to move on love
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Bow down, Piper leading, you were one
Hungry, took the prize, then you got Dumb
Don't live out your life like a sad song
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it All
She said I forgive you
You must too or die
You've got to let me go
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me
Angel Eyes. Jerry Cantrell.
"Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin & Hobbes.
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I'll be waiting when you call
Hey and whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Would you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall, ever I fall
You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
‘Til all you had spilled over
Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else
Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
Hold on [8x]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
When you feel it in your body
you found somebody who makes you change your ways
like hanging with your crew
said you act like you ready but you dont really know
and everthing in your past- you wanna let go
Ive been there, done it, humped around
after all that - this is what i found
nobody wants to be alone
if you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby.....
U got, u got it bad
when your on the phone
hang up and you call right back
u got, u got it bad
if you miss a day without your friend
your whole life's off track
you know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
you dont wonna have fun
its all you think about
u got it bad when you're out with someone
but you keep on thinking' bout somebody else
U got it bad......
when you say that you love 'em
and you really know
everything that used to matter dont matter no more
like my money, all my cars
(you can have it all back)
Flowers, cards and candy
( I do it just cause I'm...)

i want you to know

all my poeple who know what's going on

u got it bad when you're out with someone
but you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U GOT IT BAD!!....
I want to trip inside your head
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough
I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God, I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug

Your pretty white knuckle's about to bleed
You're holding on for dear life now
You ain't holding on to me
And I saw this magic piece of clay
And you saw a burning at the stake
They're both up on the same wall now
I saw you start to shake
We fall apart
We fall together
We're getting worse
We're getting better
Not a moment too soon
See these skies of blue
Can't you see the flowers smile at you
There's clouds inside your eyes now
Where everything there is dying too
I want to hold you if I can
Like there's nowhere else to stand
But you're nowhere to be found now
And there's nowhere you can land
We fall apart
We fall together
We're getting worse
We're getting better
Not a moment too soon
There's things I wish I could say to you
And days I wish I didn't think they were true
There are days I wish I'd never met you
And days I wish there were more of you
That weren't slippin from my view
Not a moment too soon

You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
I know we've been through this before.
Can't you hear me, I'm calling out your name?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor...
You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
Can't you hear me, I'm bleeding on the wall?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?
Can't you hear me when I'm calling out your name?
When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw...
Now I go out alone if I go out at all.
You've got a nerve to be asking a favor...
You've got a nerve to be calling my number.
I'm sure we've been through this before.
Can't you hear me, I'm beating on your wall?
Cant you see me, I'm pounding on your door?'

where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh down to the river we did ride
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
that sends me down to the river
though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Down to the river
my baby and I
Oh down to the river we ride
Jason
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye
my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye
we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
but there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye

Blue Jean-I just met me a girl named Blue Jean
Blue Jean-she got a camouflaged face and no money
Remember they always let you down when you need 'em
Oh, Blue Jean - is heaven any sweeter than Blue Jean
She got a police bike
She got a turned up nose
Sometimes I feel like
(Oh, the whole human race)
Jazzin' for Blue Jean
(Oh, and when my Blue Jean's blue)
Blue Jean can send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
Somebody send me
(Oh, somebody send me)
One day I'm gonna write a poem in a letter
One day I'm gonna get that faculty together
Remember that everybody has to wait in line
Blue Jean-look out world you know I've got mine
She got Latin roots
She got everything
No, I won't back down...
You can stand me up at the gates of Hell...
But I won't back down.
Well I'll stand my ground...
Won't be turned around...
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I will stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Well I know what's right...
I've got just one life...
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I will stand my ground...
And I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Hey I won't back down.
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out...
Gonna stand my ground...
And I won't back down...
No I won't back down.

And I confess I shiver
You say hope
I say that's where I'm goin'
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
If I'm out hunting
Come right on in, yeah
And even when I'm gone
My doors are always open
And if I'm asleep
Make sure my blanket covers me, yeah
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
When i'm away
To be in the shade
The oldest trees above my head
When I'm away, I know in my heart
There is a heaven
come right on in, yeah
~Away/ Toadies
'Cause you're fast asleep
But I love you now
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My baby, he's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh, but when he calls
I know he's the one
Makes me want him harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see monsters
Still I see monsters
Baby, I know you cannot hear me now
'Cause you're flying around
At the speed of sound
Colors inside your head go spinning around
Like a ferris wheel
Exploding and falling to the ground
Oh, people are screaming, people are screaming
My babies, he's dreaming
Oh, people are shouting, people are freaking
I'm just staring at the ceiling
Waiting for the feeling
Oh, oh when he calls
I know that he's the one
Makes me want it harder
Makes me want to be a little stronger
Still I see the monsters
Still I see the monsters
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreamin' my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
FADE
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

I hope I find you feeling healthy.
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today...
On our way into the night.
I say it's love, it's hiding deep, deep down inside us all...
So maybe, we'll shed a little love from deep inside...
Love, it's not so tough if you come admit it too...
Well, baby, you're hearts into a thousand pieces dashed...
Stop only the old and wise, with clouded eyes...
You can't see what I can.
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way
Here we are all of us stand around...
We're leaning heavy on each other.
Always wondering what is it lies behind...
The worried eyes of the woman that I love.
I believe it's love, it's hiding there in the shadows, in the darkness
Maybe we'll shed a little light and it will shine.
So love, when I approach my tears they fall like rain...
'Cause you know maybe, my heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes...
You can't see what I can.
'Cause I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way.
I say it's love, so share it out, share it fair, but share it now though
Maybe the things a better world that could be loved (?)
But love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain...
You tell me baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed...
Stop only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can.
I blindly throw my faith to the face...
Of the next good thing that comes my way.

She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Jason
Looking kind of anxious in your cross-armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited with my life anymore
So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is, it's myself
And I'm trying to understand myself
And pinpoint where I am
By the time I get things figured out
I've changed the whole damn plan
Oh noose tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably soon regret
I've changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself
Reeling is what they say
Or is it just my way?
Wind blows by, low light
Side-tracked, low light
Can't see my tracks, your scent-way back
Can I be here all alone?
Clear a path to my home
Blood runs dry
Books and jealousy tell me wrong
All I feel, calm
Voice blows by, low light
Car crash, low light
Can't wear my mask, your first, my last
Voice goes by
Two birds is what they'll see
Getting lost upon their way
Wind rolls by, low light
Eye sight, low light
I need the light
I'll find my way from wrong, what's real?
The dream I see
cannot find the comfort in this world
artificial tear...vessel stabbed...next up, volunteers
vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on...
but there's a trapdoor in the sun...immortality...
as privileged as a whore...victims in demand for public show
swept out through the cracks beneath the door
holier than thou, how?
surrendered...executed anyhow
scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor...
a truant finds home...and a wish to hold on too...
he saw the trapdoor in the sun...
immortality...
i cannot stop the thought...i'm running in the dark...
coming up a which way sign...all good truants must decide...
oh, stripped and sold, mom...auctioned forearm...
and whiskers in the sink...
truants move on...cannot stay long
some die just to live...
ohh...
Jason
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
In your eyes so strange
Woke up to a world
That I am not a part
Except when I can play
It's stranger
After all, what were you really looking for?
And I wonder when will I learn
Blue isn't red everybody knows this
And I wonder when will I learn
When will I learn
Guess I was in
Deeper than I thought I was
If I have enough love
For the both of us
"Just stay"
You said "we'll build a nest"
So I left my life
Tried on your friends
Tried on your opinions
So when the bridges froze
And you did not come home
I put our snowflake
Under a microscope
After all, what was I really looking for?
And I wonder when will I learn
Maybe my wish knew better than I did
And I wonder so strange now
I'm finally in
The party has begun
It's not like I can't feel you still
But strange what I will leave behind
You call me one more time
But now I must be leaving

"yellow ledbetter is like the smoke after a 3 hour fuckfest" - 62strat
st.louis 04, chicago 06, and counting...
no way in or out
i turned and walked the hallway
and pulled the curtains down
i knelt and emptied the mouth
of every plug around
but nothing's sound
oh.. nothing's sound
i'd stay here where my last step left me
ignored all my rounds
soon i was seeing visions,
and cracks along the walls
they were upside down
i swallow my words to keep from lying
i swallow my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, diving
i surfaced when all of my being was enlightened
now...i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
it's been about three days now since i've been aground
no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now
it's funny when things change so much
it's all a state of mind
i swallowed my words to keep from lying
i swallowed my fist just to keep from biting... biting, biting
i swallowed my breath and went deep, i was diving, i was diving
i surfaced and all of my being was enlightened
now i'm
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding
i'm in hiding, yeah yeah
i'm in hiding, yeah
i'm in hiding...
Jason
With you on my mind
So afraid of running out of time
So come around again and I'll show you what I mean
And you can tell me
Exactly what you need
And we can talk all night (we can talk all night)
And I will sing you lullabies (I will sing you lullabies)
Not in every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
Sorry for the time I said too much
I was so afraid that you would fall out of touch
And we can talk all night (we could talk all night)
And I will sing you lullabies (I will sing you lullabies)
Not every arrow is pointed straight at your heart
So come around again (so come around again)
And we can talk all night
So come around again, so come around again
And we can talk all night (and we can talk all night)
I will sing you lullabies
Lullaby ~ Taking Back Sunday
Green Day - The Grouch
it touched my arm on accident
i swear to god it hurt real bad...
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won’t see another one
And then he sang a song
The rare old mountain dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you
Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I’ve got a feeling
This year’s for me and you
So happy christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true
They’ve got cars big as bars
They’ve got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It’s no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold christmas eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me
You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of new york city
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night
The boys of the nypd choir
Were singing galway bay
And the bells were ringing out
For christmas day
You’re a bum
You’re a punk
You’re an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy christmas your arse
I pray God it’s our last
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you
Fairytale of New York - The Pogues (the best christmas song ever written)
Worn, tired, siren drawn, tunnel vision
Don't forget this chance only live once
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it all
She said I forgive you
Don't regret our time
You've got to move on love
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Bow down, Piper leading, you were one
Hungry, took the prize, then you got Dumb
Don't live out your life like a sad song
Sprung, hypnotized by light, had to get some
Get it All
She said I forgive you
You must too or die
You've got to let me go
Angel eyes
Four years and still I dream
Agonize
Such beauty not since seen
Angel eyes
Your face is all I see
Agonize
Forever haunting me
Angel Eyes.

And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
And I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you, go
I'll be waiting when you call
Hey and whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Would you let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall, ever I fall
Jason
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
‘Til all you had spilled over
Now everything’s so far away
That you don’t know where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else
Still everything’s so far away
That you forget where you are
You are
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
Hold on [8x]
When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
Hold On ~ Jet
When you feel it in your body
you found somebody who makes you change your ways
like hanging with your crew
said you act like you ready but you dont really know
and everthing in your past- you wanna let go
Ive been there, done it, humped around
after all that - this is what i found
nobody wants to be alone
if you're touched by the words in this song
Then baby.....
U got, u got it bad
when your on the phone

if you miss a day without your friend
your whole life's off track
you know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
you dont wonna have fun
its all you think about
u got it bad when you're out with someone
but you keep on thinking' bout somebody else
U got it bad......
when you say that you love 'em
and you really know
everything that used to matter dont matter no more
like my money, all my cars
(you can have it all back)
Flowers, cards and candy
( I do it just cause I'm...)
said im fortunate to have you gurl
i want you to know
i really adore you
all my poeple who know what's going on
look at your mate, help me sing my song
tell her im your man, your my gurl
im gonna tell it to the whole wide world
ladies say im you gurl, your my man

after all that - this is what i found
everyone of ya'll are just like me
it's too bad that you cant see
that you got it bad...hey
u got, u got it bad
when you're on the phone
hang up and you call right back
u got, u got it bad
if you miss a day without your friend
your whole life's off track
you know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
you dont wonna have fun
its all you think about
u got it bad when you're out with someone
but you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
BREAKDOWN!!!
u got, u got it bad
when you're on the phone
hang up and you call right back

if you miss a day without your friend
your whole life's off track
you know you got it bad when you're stuck in the house
you dont wonna have fun
its all you think about
u got it bad when you're out with someone
but you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else
U GOT IT BAD!!....
Jason
Ah you see, I am not so easy to understand, I am a riddle that can't be solved;)
Jason
Spend the day there...
To hear the things you haven't said
And see what you might see
I want to hear you when you call
Do you feel anything at all?
I want to see your thoughts take shape
And walk right out
Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough
I'm not giving up
On a miracle drug
Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...
I am you and you are mine
Love makes nonsense of space
And time...will disappear
Love and logic keep us clear
Reason is on our side, love...
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, a miracle drug, a miracle drug
God, I need your help tonight
Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"
The songs are in your eyes
I see them when you smile
I've seen enough of romantic love
I'd give it up, yeah, I'd give it up
For a miracle, miracle drug
Miracle, miracle drug
Miracle Drug ~ U2
