My favourite lyrics at the mo have got 2 be:
BLACK HOLE SUN
In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send Hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Lyrics: Cornell

Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before
I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know
I've got this light
And the will to show
I will always be better than before
Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
That man's got a gift.
True
Whatsoever Ive feared has come to life
Whatsoever Ive fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
And now Im doing time
Cause I fell on black days
Whomsoever Ive cured Ive sickened now
Whomsoever Ive cradled Ive put you down
Im a search light soul they say
But I cant see it in the night
Im only faking when I get it right
Cause I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So dont you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying
No, not tying
I sure dont mind a change
But I fell on black days
How would I know
That this could be my fate
God, those words would be awesome
He said "Hey momma, hey let me check your oil all right?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight
Comeback Monday, comeback Tuesday, then I might"
I said Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?
My Juanita
I said Juanita, my sweet taquita, what are you up to?
My Juanita
Don't want nobody who won't dive for dimes
Don't want no speedballs 'cause I might die trying
Throw me a line, throw me a line
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan
Billy got so sad, dejected, put on his hat and start to run
Runnin' down the street yelling at the top of his lungs
All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun
All I want in this life and time is some hit and run
I said Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?
My Juanita
I said Jaunita, my sweet taquito, what are you up to?
My Juanita
Put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down
But you caught me in the squeeze play on the cheesy side of town
Throw me a dime, throw me a line
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues
I hear you moan, I hear you moan, I hear you moan
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
You'll just have to listen to the words.
ty fins
RIP Kevin
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
Elliott Smith - Angeles
Someone's always coming around here trailing some new kill
Says I seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one
Of real skill
So glad to meet you, Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble that's the history of the trade
Did you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil, Angeles
Don't start me trying now
uh-huh uh-huh uh-huuuh
Cos I'm all over it, Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your 'secret wishes' could right now be coming true
And be forever with my broken arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you, Angeles

Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Lie beside me
I just need to say
What can I take?
I just want to be
I know that i would not ever touch you
Hold you
Feel you
Ever hold
Never again
and still jonesing for another show....
"the waiting drove me mad..."
"TINY DANCER" BY ELTON JOHN
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums
But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can't hear me
When I say softly, slowly
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It would be you..."
You lost the grace of the hands that harmed you
In the daze of a thousand yawns
Lost my love, as it is I'm truly gone
In your morning I will sleep
Fire on an open palm
Death for Jesus and plastic armies
Wouldn't bring me back again
Sweet as ether eyes I'm blind to them
Gone are your dandelions falling like mine
Falling on land-mine pillows
tired angels save my love for the lasting one
Sweet Euphoria mine is the heart you stole
Touched and broken are the things you love
Using start to light your candles
Warms my face but I can't remember yours
Gone are your dandelions falling like mine
Falling like daydream mangos
diving swallows
save my love save my love save my love
lasting one sweet euphoria
(Jeff Buckley)
There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time
Wait in the fire...
And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and I believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind
Wait in the fire...
And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow
Fucking hell,
If he hadn't died Pearl Jam would be out of a job.
Our mouths were opening
I turned off the light
So come on night
You're a witness, you
You've seen me interrupt
A good old-fashioned fight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Watched the dying day
Blushing in the sky
Everyone is uptight
So come on night
Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
Home to oblivion
I know we're not
Illegitimate
In our hearing
So come on
So come on night

thats a great one. i fucking love that song...and album...and elliott smith. true poet.
collaberate and listen
ice is back with a brand new invention
SOMETHIN grabs a hold of me tightly
flow like a harpoon daily and nightly..
Yea laugh for a bit and then come to the realization that you and everyone you know knows each and every word...infact you were just singing it to yourself as you read them...
in all honesty though man of the hour..and bulls on parade..

(Sung) Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
Under the meat safe there's a place
Where your father keeps his face
He gives it lots of steam and heat
But on a Saturday night his face is in his feet
Mona, where's me trousers, they're upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're upstairs
La la la la who's that singing that song?
La la la la he must be barmy or something
La la la la your father's gone away
La la la la he's gone away on a ship, he's gone away on a ship
Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
Mona, where's me trousers, they're right upstairs
They're right upstairs
They're right upstairs
And now Denis is going to school now
And his face is just the same as his Dad's
His face is angry and bitter
When he hides it under the fridge
But on a Saturday night he's different
When he's had beer, he's had beer
La la la la who's that singing that song?
La la la la who's that singing that song?
La la la la he must be barmy, he's gone wrong
La la la la who's that singing that song?
(Spoken) It didn't really matter because he didn't really mean to hurt me, he didn't mean to upset me, I mean, when he smacked me, it was quite... it was quite alright because that's his right, really, he is my father and he didn't really mean to hurt me but it was when he took me outside and he took me wellingtons off my wellingtons, he took my wellies off and then he took my shoes and threw 'em in the garden and then I felt ever so unhappy but there was really no point in crying because when I cry he just laughs at me and well, after some time, I do lie sometimes, I know but anyway I went to school and Miss Baxter, Miss Baxter said I was being a good boy and that I didn't deserve to be punished but there you are, I didn't deserve to be punished but anyway I didn't mean to lose that coat, no I... I left it in the cloak room, it was there when I left but afterwards it seems to have gone, it was a new, it was a new duffle coat and I went down... I went down by the docks and I was, I was watching this man in a rowing boat and the boat was sinking, and the boat was sinking and then there was this silly man who kept calling me names, he took away me sweets cause I spend four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, four pence on sweets, that's a lot of money but then again I didn't mean to do it and he smacked me, he smacked me like... he smacked me, he smacked me, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry Dad, I didn't mean to do it, sorry Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, I'm sorry, didn't mean to do it, didn't mean to do it, didn't mean to do it

"SHOW ME, SHOW ME, SHOW ME HOW YOU DO THAT TRICK
THE ONE THAT MAKES ME SCREAM" SHE SAID
"THE ONE THAT MAKES ME LAUGH" SHE SAID
AND THREW HER ARMS AROUND MY NECK
"SHOW ME HOW YOU DO IT,
AND I PROMISE YOU, I PROMISE THAT,
I'LL RUN AWAY WITH YOU...
I'LL RUN AWAY WITH YOU"...
SPINNING ON THAT DIZZY EDGE
I KISSED HER FACE AND KISSED HER HEAD
AND DREAMED OF ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS
I HAD TO MAKE HER 'GLOW'...
"WHY ARE YOU SO FAR AWAY?" SHE SAID "WHY WON'T YOU EvER KNOW THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU...
THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU..."
YOU- SOFT AND ONLY
YOU- LOST AND LONELY
YOU- STRANGE AS ANGELS, DANCING IN THE DEEPEST OCEANS,TWISTING IN THE WATER, YOU'RE JUST LIKE DREAM...
JUST LIKE A DREAM...
DAYLIGHT LICKED ME INTO SHAPE, I MUST HAVE BEEN ASLEEP FOR DAYS
AND MOVING LIPS,TO BREATHE HER NAME,
I OPENED UP MY EYES...
AND FOUND MYSELF ALONE, ALONE...
ALONE ABOVE A RAGING SEA..
THAT STOLE THE ONLY GIRL I LOVED..
AND DROWNED HER DEEP INSIDE OF ME...
YOU- SOFT AND ONLY
YOU- LOST AND LONELY
YOU-
JUST LIKE HEAVEN

~ Life On Mars? ~
It's a God awful small affair
to the girl with the mousey hair
but her mummy is yelling, "No!"
and her daddy has told her to go..
But her friend is no where to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view..
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is sadd'ning bore
For she's lived it ten times or more..
She could spit in the eyes of fools..
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors..
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go..
It's the freakiest show...
Take a look at the lawman..
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know..
He's in the best selling show..
Is there life on Mars?
It's on Americas tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule- Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns..
But the film is a sadd'ning bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ, again
As I ask you to focus on..
Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go..
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know..
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?...~
-David Bowie

From the brightest star
Comes the blackest hole
You had so much to offer
Why did you offer your soul?
I was there for you baby
When you needed my help
Would you deny for others
What you demand for yourself?
Cool down mama cool off
Cool down mama cooling off
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
You were pretty as a picture
It was all there to see
In your face caught up with your psychology
With a mouth full of teeth
You ate all your friends
And you broke every heart
Thinking every heart mends
You speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Where you live should not decide
Whether you live or whether you die
Three to a bed
Sister Ann, she said
Dignity passes by
And you speak of signs and wonders
I need something other
I would believe if I was able
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
