Shut out, pimpled and angry.
I quietly tied all my guts into knots.
Gave up on trying to make them,
I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...
It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew what worthless dregs we've always been.
Lucked out and found my favorite records
Lying in wait at the birmingham mall.
The songs that i heard,
The occasional book
Were the only fun i ever took.
And i got on with making myself.
The trick is just making yourself.
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
You've still got a view of the summer sky
To make it hurt twice when your restless body
Caves to its whims
And suddenly struggles to take flight...
Three thousand miles north east
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads.
"what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love."
Yes i know but i must say in my own defense
It's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always been.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
I watched you wash away any chance of coming clean to anyone
My face pressed against the glass wanting to know
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
I watched you slip away from growing old with innocence or integrity
My face pressed against the glass
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up the thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
Demanding prophecies when you speak
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you now...
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
You would know the way lies could stip away from you
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you now...
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free
I got my whole heart
Laid out right in front of me
And I finally can see
The way it's always been
The need for peace
Starts from within
So I leave my possesions to the wind
And I'm done with ever wanting anything
Well I can die satisfied
No desires do I hide
Not today, not today
Nor for the next one thousand lives
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
A little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse...
Well I'm scared of ever being born again
If it's in this form again
Well I wanna know how why where and when and then
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horsefeels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
most people don't realize
that two large pieces of coral,
painted brown, and attached tohis skull
with common wood screws can makea child look like a deer
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
Sometimes I think of old friends
But they all seem the same
Then I see them and they can't remember my name
I guess I'm just like them
I guess I'm just a bore
I could hate them but I've never done that before
I've got lots of good friends
I don't need anymore
And sometimes when you lie to me
Sometimes I'll lie to you
And there isn't a thing you could possibly do
All these half-destroyed lives
Aren't as bad as they seem
But now I see blood and I hear people scream
Then I wake up
And it's just another bad dream
(chorus)
And I can't help myself by feeling sorry
Because I gave up every chance I had
Another movement
It's just another fad
Like a cry for help
In a world gone mad
Making two possibilities a reality,
Predicting the future of things we all know,
Fighting off the diseased programming
Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries.
Science fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
Is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string come undone
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera etcetera
Facts for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a shear drop
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read
I'm on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
I'm lost at sea
Don't bother me
I've lost my way
I've lost my way
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
This beautiful world
I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read
standin above the crowd

i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
Oh, god its another night And your head is feeling Like a lump of lead.
You should never have drunk Those party-fours, You should of been home being good instead.
Ever been in a deja vue and the end is the same again, You ran out of your silver thins And you're trying to be so high class... Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string.
And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks And you tell them 'Oh it's nothing, There's a million where those come from'...
And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend, 'Please lend me a few quid'
Oh god it's another day And your stomach's feeling Like a blown-up balloon.
You should never have eaten that greasy food, The doctor told you that chilli was bad for your blood.
And you're standing at the chemist in Boots, Coughing up your guts like you're at death's door...
All this for a packet of Do-Do's And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red.
It's at time like this that you wish you were dead.
And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drank A bottle of bleach And you tell yourself 'Never, never again... Well, not until next week anyway'.
And you were never one for holding drink And you stagger off to the toilet And you throw up like it was Christmas.
And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes And there's no paper towels,
Now what else can go wrong for you?
It's a choice between a cab fare home And a packet of cigarettes...
So you choose and the money sticks In the machine and the manager says, 'Tough shit - drink up and leave'
Oh god it's another disease And you just got rid of the last.
You were beginning to feel OK, And the friends you gave it to Were speaking to you again.
And you find yourself having sex In the back of a car And the girl underneath
Doesn't care who you are.
And you're nearly there And she still doesn't care And her chewing gum Is getting stuck in your hair.
And there's something wrong, Something that you forgot... Oh Shit, you've forgotten the rubber!
And you don't want a kid.
Well, deny it was you.
If your dad finds out Then he'll make you stay in And do your homework And cut your hair And wear your school uniform Out in the street... Oh what a fate worse than death.
Oh well he can't hit you, You can hit him back And play your records so loud
All the ones that he especially hates... Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II...
Well even you hate those.
Well on second thoughts... I think I'll leave home And go and live in America.
Because they earn more money there And they can get away with murder - Yeah!
Oh this is a Mugs game...
I can't wait until I'm twenty one And I can tell them all to sod off.

Hail, Hail!!!
I wanna love you, and treat you right
I wanna love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter... of my single bed
We'll share the same room, JAH provide the bread
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I am feeling
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I am feeling
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat...
Love and treat you right
I wanna love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter... of my single bed
We'll share the same room, JAH provides the bread
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I am feeling
Is this love, is this love, is this love
Is this love that I am feeling
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
Oh yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now
I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
See...
I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat you...
Love and treat you right
I wanna love you, every day and every night
We'll be together, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter... of my single bed
We'll share the same room, JAH provides the bread
The gutter may profess its love,
Then follow it with hesitation,
But there are just so many of
You out there for rent
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,
You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you wont win here tonight,
You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,
And I cannot lecture you,
And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,
But, you've won one too many fights,
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
Let the good times end tonight,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
Just a moment or two from now,
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
And how our stack of cards just fell,
So settle this once and for all,
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,
You are not some saint who's above,
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
You've got so much more to dream of,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
This time,
This time.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde

What you wanna say,
Wait until you get home.
I'm sick of communicating over the telephone.
But tell me how you feel,
For I am lonely too
Don't you know
I'm just as cold and numb as you.
But I could fly away,
Or I could be no one.
And you could be the
Sunshine falling over the Mountain
And you could come to stay
Yes you could come right home
Don't see why I have to
Live this life all alone.
I know there is a way to make up for old Mistakes
And I know what's happening is for a reason
I know...

I break the surface so I can breathe
I close my eyes so I can see
I tie my arms to be free
Have you ever been free?
She's not breathing
She's not moving
She's not coming back
I burn a fire to stay cool
I burn myself,
I am the fuel
I never meant to be cruel
Have you ever been cruel?
She's not breathing
She's not moving
She's not coming back
Shut the door so I can leave

Another day I call and never speak
And you would say nothings changed at all
And I cant feel much hope for anything
If I wont be there to catch you when you fall
Chorus:
Again
It seems we meet
In the spaces
In between
We always say
It wont be long
But somethings always wrong
Another game of putting things aside
As if well come back to them sometime
A brace of hope
A pride of innocence
And you would say something has gone wrong
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
you are subtle as a window pane
standing in my view
but i will wait for it to rain
so that i can see you
you call me up at night
when there's no light passing through
and you think that i don't understand
but i do
we don't say everything that we could
so that we can say later
oh, you misunderstood
i hold my cards up
close to my chest
i say what i have to
and i hold back the rest
'cause someone you don't know
is someone you don't know
get a firm grip, girl
before you let go
for every hand extended
another lies in wait
keep your eye on that one
anticipate
dress down get out there
pick a fight with the police
we will get it all on film
for the new release
seems like everyone's an actor
or they're an actor's best friend
i wonder what was wrong to begin with
that they should all have to pretend
we lost sight of everything
when we have to keep checking our backs
i think we should all just smile
come clean
and relax
if there's anything i've learned
all these years on my own
it's how to find my own way there
and how to find my own way back home
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
Time is running out
for us
But you just move the hands upon the clock
You throw coins in a wishing well
for us
You just move your hands upon the wall
It comes to ya begging you to stop
Wake up
But you just move the hands upon the clock
Throw coins in a wishing well
for us
And make believe that you are still in charge
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
I'd really like to help you, man
I'd really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionettes
Floating around on a prison ship
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you can try the best you can
If you try the best you can

When I'm lyin in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
On grand street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Shut out, pimpled and angry.
I quietly tied all my guts into knots.
Gave up on trying to make them,
I figured it'd take them too long to look up and besides...
It was undeniably clear to me i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew what worthless dregs we've always been.
Lucked out and found my favorite records
Lying in wait at the birmingham mall.
The songs that i heard,
The occasional book
Were the only fun i ever took.
And i got on with making myself.
The trick is just making yourself.
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
You've still got a view of the summer sky
To make it hurt twice when your restless body
Caves to its whims
And suddenly struggles to take flight...
Three thousand miles north east
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads.
"what kind of life you dream of? you're allergic to love."
Yes i know but i must say in my own defense
It's been undeniably dear to me, i don't know why
When every other part of life seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always been.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
but it's not quite right
and this 'real'
it's impossible if possible
at who's blind word
so clear but so unheard
i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this silence all night long
it's just a matter of time
to appear sad
with the same 'ol decent lazy eye
fixed to rest on you
aim free and so untrue
everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine
everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with that shine
lost and loaded
still the same 'ol decent lazy eye
straight through your gaze
that's why i said i relate
i said we relate
it's so fun to relate
it's the room the sun and the sky
it's the room the sun and the sky
i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment...
My face pressed against the glass wanting to know
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
I watched you slip away from growing old with innocence or integrity
My face pressed against the glass
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up the thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
Demanding prophecies when you speak
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you now...
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
You would know the way lies could stip away from you
You're trying hard to change, but they won't let you
They press their lips to your ass and smile
Hoping you won't find out who they are
Conjure up thoughts of pure denial
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you
They hang on every word that you say
You're trying hard to change, they won't let you now...
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
You don't owe them anything
You don't owe me anything
You don't owe them anything now
I'm high and I'm happy and I'm free
I got my whole heart
Laid out right in front of me
And I finally can see
The way it's always been
The need for peace
Starts from within
So I leave my possesions to the wind
And I'm done with ever wanting anything
Well I can die satisfied
No desires do I hide
Not today, not today
Nor for the next one thousand lives
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
A little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse
I want to be a little seahorse...
Well I'm scared of ever being born again
If it's in this form again
Well I wanna know how why where and when and then
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light
I wanna see you be the bright night sky
I wanna see you come back as the light

Runny nose and runny yolk

You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?
In the someday what's that sound?

Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horsefeels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
In the someday what's that sound?

In the someday what's that sound?

Sometimes I think of old friends
But they all seem the same
Then I see them and they can't remember my name
I guess I'm just like them
I guess I'm just a bore
I could hate them but I've never done that before
I've got lots of good friends
I don't need anymore
And sometimes when you lie to me
Sometimes I'll lie to you
And there isn't a thing you could possibly do
All these half-destroyed lives
Aren't as bad as they seem
But now I see blood and I hear people scream
Then I wake up
And it's just another bad dream
(chorus)
And I can't help myself by feeling sorry
Because I gave up every chance I had
Another movement
It's just another fad
Like a cry for help
In a world gone mad
Science ~ SOAD
Making two possibilities a reality,
Predicting the future of things we all know,
Fighting off the diseased programming
Of centuries, centuries, centuries, centuries.
Science fails to recognize the single most
Potent element of human existence
letting the reigns go to the unfolding
Is faith, faith, faith, faith.
Science has failed our world
Science has failed our Mother Earth.

Bittersweet distractor

15 Step ~ Radiohead
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started
How come I end up where I went wrong
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out then you cut the string
You used to be alright
What happened?
Did the cat get your tongue
Did your string come undone
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
You used to be alright
What happened?
Etcetera etcetera
Facts for whatever
Fifteen steps
Then a shear drop
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read
I'm on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
I'm lost at sea
Don't bother me
I've lost my way
I've lost my way
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
You're living in a fantasy world
This beautiful world
I'm lost upon the Irish Sea
Another message I can't read

someone who seemed to feel the same

You should never have drunk Those party-fours, You should of been home being good instead.
Ever been in a deja vue and the end is the same again, You ran out of your silver thins And you're trying to be so high class... Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string.
And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks And you tell them 'Oh it's nothing, There's a million where those come from'...
And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend, 'Please lend me a few quid'
Oh god it's another day And your stomach's feeling Like a blown-up balloon.
You should never have eaten that greasy food, The doctor told you that chilli was bad for your blood.
And you're standing at the chemist in Boots, Coughing up your guts like you're at death's door...
All this for a packet of Do-Do's And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red.
It's at time like this that you wish you were dead.
And you take the whole packet and you feel like you've drank A bottle of bleach And you tell yourself 'Never, never again... Well, not until next week anyway'.
And you were never one for holding drink And you stagger off to the toilet And you throw up like it was Christmas.
And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes And there's no paper towels,
Now what else can go wrong for you?
It's a choice between a cab fare home And a packet of cigarettes...
So you choose and the money sticks In the machine and the manager says, 'Tough shit - drink up and leave'
Oh god it's another disease And you just got rid of the last.
You were beginning to feel OK, And the friends you gave it to Were speaking to you again.
And you find yourself having sex In the back of a car And the girl underneath
Doesn't care who you are.
And you're nearly there And she still doesn't care And her chewing gum Is getting stuck in your hair.
And there's something wrong, Something that you forgot... Oh Shit, you've forgotten the rubber!
And you don't want a kid.
Well, deny it was you.
If your dad finds out Then he'll make you stay in And do your homework And cut your hair And wear your school uniform Out in the street... Oh what a fate worse than death.
Oh well he can't hit you, You can hit him back And play your records so loud
All the ones that he especially hates... Deep Purple in Rock, Led Zeppelin II...
Well even you hate those.
Well on second thoughts... I think I'll leave home And go and live in America.
Because they earn more money there And they can get away with murder - Yeah!
Oh this is a Mugs game...
I can't wait until I'm twenty one And I can tell them all to sod off.
Hail, Hail!!!

Girl Sailor - The Shins
The gutter may profess its love,
Then follow it with hesitation,
But there are just so many of
You out there for rent
A stronger girl would shake this off in flight,
And never give it more than a frowning hour,
But you have let your heart decide,
Loss has conquered you,
You've won one too many fights,
Wearing many hats every time,
But you wont win here tonight,
You've made it through the direst of straits alright,
Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting?
You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes,
And I cannot lecture you,
And does anything I say seem relevant at all?
You've been at the helm since you were just five,
While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger,
But, you've won one too many fights,
Wearing all of your clothes at the same time,
Let the good times end tonight,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
Just a moment or two from now,
Not a mind will retain even a trace,
Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell
And how our stack of cards just fell,
So settle this once and for all,
The light no longer shows the cracks around my door,
And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight,
You are not some saint who's above,
Giving someone a stroll through the flowers,
You've got so much more to dream of,
Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her,
This time,
This time,
This time.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

What you wanna say,
Wait until you get home.
I'm sick of communicating over the telephone.
But tell me how you feel,
For I am lonely too
Don't you know
I'm just as cold and numb as you.
But I could fly away,
Or I could be no one.
And you could be the
Sunshine falling over the Mountain
And you could come to stay
Yes you could come right home
Don't see why I have to
Live this life all alone.
I know there is a way to make up for old Mistakes
And I know what's happening is for a reason
I know...

I close my eyes so I can see
I tie my arms to be free
Have you ever been free?
She's not breathing
She's not moving
She's not coming back
I burn a fire to stay cool
I burn myself,
I am the fuel
I never meant to be cruel
Have you ever been cruel?

She's not moving
She's not coming back
Shut the door so I can leave

Toad The Wet Sprocket ~ Something’s Always Wrong
Another day I call and never speak
And you would say nothings changed at all
And I cant feel much hope for anything
If I wont be there to catch you when you fall
Chorus:
Again
It seems we meet
In the spaces
In between
We always say
It wont be long
But somethings always wrong
Another game of putting things aside
As if well come back to them sometime
A brace of hope
A pride of innocence
And you would say something has gone wrong
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
anticipate ~ ani difranco
you are subtle as a window pane
standing in my view
but i will wait for it to rain
so that i can see you
you call me up at night
when there's no light passing through
and you think that i don't understand
but i do
we don't say everything that we could
so that we can say later
oh, you misunderstood
i hold my cards up
close to my chest
i say what i have to
and i hold back the rest
'cause someone you don't know
is someone you don't know
get a firm grip, girl
before you let go
for every hand extended
another lies in wait
keep your eye on that one
anticipate
dress down get out there
pick a fight with the police
we will get it all on film
for the new release
seems like everyone's an actor
or they're an actor's best friend
i wonder what was wrong to begin with
that they should all have to pretend
we lost sight of everything
when we have to keep checking our backs
i think we should all just smile
come clean
and relax
if there's anything i've learned
all these years on my own
it's how to find my own way there
and how to find my own way back home
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSZKlAAUfR8
You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed

Time is running out
for us
But you just move the hands upon the clock
You throw coins in a wishing well

You just move your hands upon the wall
It comes to ya begging you to stop
Wake up
But you just move the hands upon the clock
Throw coins in a wishing well
for us
And make believe that you are still in charge

Optimistic ~ Radiohead
Flies are buzzing round my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem, give me some
You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on animal farm
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
I'd really like to help you, man
I'd really like to help you, man
Nervous messed up marionettes
Floating around on a prison ship
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Dinosaurs roaming the Earth
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

When I'm lyin in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
On grand street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up
