i want to feel like this, always...


drifting, drifting, drifting away
i got myself a mansion, then i gave it away
it's not the world that's heavy, it's just the things that you save
and i'm drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting along
i rid myself of worries, and my worries were gone
i only run when i want to and i sleep like a dog
i'm drifting, drifting along
the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so excited, nothing gets in their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
all the suitcoats say, "there is money to be made"
they get so excited, nothing get's in their way
my road it may be lonely just because it's not paved
it's good for drifting, drifting away
drifting, drifting, drifting, uh huh
i feel like going back there, but never for long
i sometimes wonder if they know that i'm gone
i'm drifting, drifting along
drifting, drifting along...drifting, drifting along

hey, i aint never coming home
hey, ill just wander my own road
hey, i cant meet you here tomorrow
say goodbye dont follow
misery so hollow
hey you, your livin life full throttle
hey you, pass me down that bottle
hey you, you cant shake me round now
i get so lost and dont know how
and it hurts to care im goin down
forgot my woman, lost my friends
things id done and where ive been
sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
see my face its growing old
scared to death no reason why
do whatever to get me by
think about the things i said
read the page its cold and dead-take me home

Soul Meets Body
Death Cab for Cutie

I want to live where soul meets body
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
And feel, feel what its like to be new

Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
So they may have a chance of finding a place
where they’re far more suited than here

I cannot guess what we'll discover
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
And not one speck will remain

I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body
Where soul meets body

I do believe it’s true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
If the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you’re the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere

The Wind Cries Mary
Jimi Hendrix


After all the jacks are in their boxes And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind It cries Mary

The traffic lights They turn of blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sails downstream Cause the life that lived is Is dead
And the wind screams Mary

Will the wind ever remember The names it has blown in the past
And with this crutch It's old age And it's wisdom
It whispers No This will be the last
And the wind cries Mary

Only Us
Peter Gabriel

Only Us [x3]

It wasn't in the words that kept sticking in their throats
It wasn't with the angels in their quilted coats
These battered wings still kick up dust
Seduced by the noise and the bright things that glisten
I knew all the time I should shut up and listen
And I'm finding my way home from the great escape

{Chorus:}
The further on I go, oh the less I know
I can find only us breathing
Only us sleeping
Only us dreaming
Only us

I hear you calling me
Yes I hear you calling me
Home from the great escape
Yes I can read you loud and clear

The further on I go, oh the less I know
Friend or foe, there's only us

[Chorus]

I'm coming home again, home again
And I hear you calling me home again
I am coming home again

Only us [x8]

It is snowing and it's just way too early for winter. All this snow and cold made me think of this song...

Sun Is Shining Lyrics
Bob Marley

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?

When the mornin' gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah
Want you to know, I'm a rainbow too now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, y'all, can you, can you, can you understand?

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah
But to the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can, here I stand, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?

***

I wish I was somewhere warmer, not ready for old man winter just yet...

suddenly...thinking/feeling....depeche mode...:cool:


A Question Of Lust

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what i mean)

My weaknesses
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But i need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before i'm anyone's
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When i'm on my own
But you know that i'd
Rather be home

It's a question of lust

because it's an Audioslave night

Yesterday To Tomorrow
Audioslave

Beauty is what the eyes behold
And you burn brighter than most
I chased you thru the midnight streets
To be where I could speak freely
I didn't care what tomorrow held
I felt the world turning only for us
Only bliss now for you and me
Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling
And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We have more than everything
More than man or machine
More than luck
More than fiction
Higher than any religion

And unlike the times before
From yesterday comes tomorrow
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets and no remorse
We'll squeeze the blood out of life
And say goodnight to the silver of old
Even when wrong we're right
Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold
I've come to realize
Where happiness lies
I want you to know I know
And unlike the times before
When life comes alive the past moves aside
No regrets no remorse

The 'Off He Goes' thread over at WMC reminded me of a dear old friend :(.

1, 2, 1, 2...
know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
so i approach with tact
suggest that he should relax
but he's always moving much too fast
said he'll see me on the flipside
on this trip he's taken for a ride
he's been taking too much on
there he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
there he goes...
he's yet to come back
but i've seen his picture
it doesn't look the same up on the rack
we go way back
i wonder about his insides
its like his thoughts are too big for his size
he's been taken... where, i don't know?
off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope
and there he goes...
and now i rub my eyes, for he has returned
seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned
for he still smiles...
and he's still strong
nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit that has grown
and now he's home
and we're laughing like we always did
my same old, same old friend
until a quarter-to-ten
i saw the strain creep in
he seems distracted and i know just what is gonna happen next
before his first step
he's off again

meme

hold on to the thread
the currents will shift
glide me towards you
you know something's left
and we're all allowed
to dream of the next
of the next time we touch...
you don't have to stray
the oceans away
waves roll in my thoughts
hold tight the ring...
the sea will rise...
please stand by the shore...
i will be... i will be there once more...

This song is called is it really so strange ?
Euh
I left the north
I travelled south
I found a tiny house
And I can’t help the way that I feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can punch me
And you can break my face
But you won’t change the way I feel
’cause I love you
Oh ...

And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say no, you say yes
(but you will change your mind)

I left the south
I travelled north
I got confused - I killed a horse
I can’t help the way that I feel
Oh yes, you can kick me
And you can butt me
And you can break my spine
But you won’t change the way I feel
’cause I love you
Oh ...

And is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so strange ?
Oh, is it really so, really so strange ?
I say no, you say yes
(but you will change your mind)

I left the north again
I travelled south again
And I got confused - I killed a nun
I can’t help the way that I feel
I can’t help the way I feel
I can’t help the way I feel
(I lost my bag in newport pagnell)

Why is the last mile the hardest mile ?
My throat was dry, with the sun in my eyes
And I realised, I realised
I could never
I could never, never, go back home again

Thankyou ! thankyou.

I remember how the Jamily members from the old board used to celebrate their 1000th posts before hehehe....thought I'd continue that tradition.

So in celebration of my 1000th + posts...

We Are the Champions
Queen

I've paid my dues -
Time after time -
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime -
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face -
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
-
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise -
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
And I ain't gonna lose -

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world!

Driving Me Mad

Deadlines again,
Feel like hiding out,
No sign of comfort yet,
Have a nap while no ones looking,
Bring some inspiration to the man,
In my head,
A namesake out of reach,
Strange days upon us now,
we leave the dust of conversation,
Hanging in the light above the bed,

Leave me now,
Cos tonight its driving me mad,
I guess I’ll be all right,
But tonight it’s driving me mad,

Year after year,
Demons always come,
Fail to materialise
Way beyond my understanding,
Find my only comfort in your hands,

Hold me now,
Cos tonight its driving me mad,
This dream can fill you up,
But tonight it’s driving me mad

Hey diamond girl,
Restless in my head,
Say what lies between us,
A host of everyday distractions,
But most of all its music taking me,

It’s driving me mad,
Still I can’t refuse,
Even when it’s driving me mad,
I guess I’ll be all right,
When tomorrow brings some relief,
This dream can fill you up,
So put it out and find what’s underneath

Bird flying in the sky, you know how I feel
Sun shinin' in the sky, you know how I feel
Breeze drifting on by, that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Bird flying high and you know how I feel
Sun up in the sky, you know how I feel
that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know how I feel
Butterflies all having fun, you know how I feel
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
And I'm feelin' good
Birds flying in the sky, you know how I feel
Sun shinin' in the sky, yes, you know, you know how I feel
you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's new day
It's a new life for me
Oh yes, and I'm feelin'
Oh yes, and I'm feelin'
Oh yes, and I'm feelin' good

hmmm...new album for me....really starting to feel it...:)



Gone For Good
The Shins

Untie me, I've said no vows
The train is getting way too loud
I gotta leave here my girl
Get on with my lonely life

Just leave the ring on the rail
For the wheels to nullify

Until this turn in my head
I let you stay and you paid no rent
I spent twelve long months on the lam

That's enough sitting on the fence
For the fear of breaking dams

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there

It took me all of a year
To put the poison pill to your ear
But now I stand on honest ground, on honest ground

You want to fight for this love
But honey you cannot wrestle a dove
So baby it's clear

You want to jump and dance
But you sat on your hands
And lost your only chance

Go back to your hometown
Get your feet on the ground
And stop floating around

I find a fatal flaw
In the logic of love
And go out of my head

You love a sinking stone
That'll never elope
So get used to used to the lonesome
Girl, you must atone some
Don't leave me no phone number there

So Says I
The Shins

An address to the golden door
I was strumming on a stone again
Pulling teeth from the pimps of gore when hatched
A tragic opera in my mind...
And it told of a new design
In which every soul is duty bound
To uphold all the statues of boredom therein lies
The fatal flaw of the red age

Because it was nothing like we'd ever dremt
Our lust for life had gone away with the rent we hated
And because it made no money nobody saved no one's life.

So we burned all our uniforms
And let nature take its course again
And the big ones just eat all the little ones
That sent us back to the drawing board.

In our darkest hours
We have all asked for some
Angel to come
Sprinkle his dust all around
But all our crying voices they can't turn it around
And you've had some crazy conversations of your own.

We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs
But we still can't just behave ourselves
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, WE ARE A BRUTAL KIND.

Cuz this is nothing like we'd ever dreamt
Tell Sir Thomas Moore we've got another failed attempt
Cuz if it makes them money they might just give you life this time.

wave to all my friends, yeah
they don't seem to notice me, no
all their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, [tem-pted]
up here so high i start to shake
up here so high the sky i scrape
i'm so high i hold just one breath here within my chest
just like innocence
eddie's found a home
oh at last the trees fall
eddie's blue sky home
oh at last the trees fall
i remember when, yeah
i swore i knew everything, oh yeah
let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
it's growing up just like me, yeah
i'm so light the wind he shakes
i'm so high the sky i scrape
i'm so light i hold just one breath and go back to my nest
sleep with innocence...
up here so high the boughs they break
up here so high the sky i scrape
had my eyes peeled both wide open, and i got a glimpse
of my innocence... got back my inner sense...
baby got it, still got it

Wildflowers
Tom Petty

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, find you a lover
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free

Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and worries
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

Your Heart Is An Empty Room
Death Cab for Cutie


Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue

Home's face: how it ages when you're away
Spring blooms and you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago

And all you see
Is where else you could be
When you're at home
Out on the street
Are so many possibilities
To not be alone

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
'Cause you knew you were finally free

'Cause all you see is where else you could be when you're at home
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

And all you see is where else you could be
When you're at home
There on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone
