I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger, brighter and whiter than snow
Screamed at the make believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned you were angels, so much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
And never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
And always just breaking apart, my pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart, my pictures of you
My fave Cure song simply because the lyrics are so beautiful. Brings back so many memories.
Robert is amazing songwriter...
to bad Ian Curtis left us so early..he was unreal talent
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
it’s okay
sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith in no faith
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
And so we meet and there are sparks,
Its gold it's new and free from sharks,
Your house is big it seems so clean,
Your cleaning lady comes and we're discreet.
Are you lightning?
'Cause I'm waiting.
What's the timing?
I'm not playing.
And so I act like I'm 21,
Wide eyed and drifting unto sun,
Pay back is here my legs are numb,
I'm back, at square one feeling dumb.
The sweet things,
When do they come?
Have I gone deaf?
What's the song?
Are you lightning?
'Cause I'm waiting,
This is frightening,
I'm not playing.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh...
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you through the mirror
You sing we're not to steal.
The only thing I'm scared of is the secret that you keep,
I know where you are, I dunno where you are.
Don't make the other wonder the others might sting,
Tell me what you're thinking,
Do not let me twist.
Just look at the size of you.
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you when something's funny I hear you I almost weep,
I see you from my steps, you're walking up my street,
But just look at the size of you.
I see you in my sheets, I see you in my sleep,
I see you from my steps you're walking up my street.
And just look at the size of you,
The sun shine on and on...
The sun shine on and on...

Hear the sirens, hear the siren
Hear the siren, hear the circus all go found
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town
Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bend
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light is pit, alive and I can see you clear
I could take your hand, and feel your breath
For feel that someday this will be over
I pull you close, so much to lose
Knowing that, nothing lasts forever
I didn’t care, before you were here
A distant laughter, with the everafter
But, all things change, let this remain
Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound, echoing closer, will they come for me, next time?
For every choice, mistake I made, is not my plan
To see you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand
Oh, it’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t
get over
When by the graces, by which we live our lives with death over our
shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above
too
I studied your face, the fear goes away.
It’s a fragile thing, this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get

away.

She lies in a bedpan
With her name scrawled on her back
It sure sounds funny
When you say his name like that
He lies in an empty room
With his hair burnt to the back
It sure sounds funny
When you say his name like that
Ship me off to the morgue
I'm ready to be buried
Alone way down in my bed, bed
And I'm alone without the sun
Ship me off to the morgue
I'm ready to be buried
Alone way down in my bed, bed
And I'm alone without the sun
Please just take one
And by the grace of God go I
Into the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor
And if we gather, if we fall
Over the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
Oh they're found dead, dead
And I am numb from watching TV
100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
Oh they're just there, there
And I am numb from watching TV
Please don't break me
And by the grace of God go I
Into the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor
And if we gather, if we fall
Over the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor
Please just take one
And by the grace of God go I
Into the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor
And if we gather, if we fall
Over the great unknown
Things are gonna change in our favor

this is the most haunting post grunge song i ever heard..was written about cobain after he died...it even details the 600 copycat suicides that happened just after cobain died....later, after this was released, the lead singer and others in the band were killed in a tour accident.... poor bastards..
A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.
We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'we'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

all my life i was born to lead
worry not just leave me be
i'll abide til the end
and i'll take it on the chin for you my friend

I'll cross the sky for your love
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go
Of my love
The storms will pass...the storm will pass...
It won't be long now...it won't be long now...
His love will last
His love will last...forever
Peace

The sun rises slowly
On another day
The eastern sky grows
Cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Something
Something holds me
Holds me hypnotized
I stare at the window
Stare at the window
Waiting for the day
To go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey

Well I'm leaving tomorrow at day break
Catch the fastest train around nine
Yes I'm leaving the sorrow and heartache
Before it takes me away from my mind
Send me love and I may let you see me
Send me hopes that can fill my head
But if you really want me to answer
I could only let you know when I'm dead
When sadness fills my days
It's time to turn away
And then tomorrow's dreams
Become reality to me
So realize I'm much better without you
You're not the one and only thing in my heart
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living
but this time I'm gonna have the star part

Sabes que te quiero como ayer.
Este soy yo
esta es mi vida
esta es mi oportunidad
Este soy yo
esta es mi voz
tal vez no hay mañana ¡NO!
Este es mi vuelo
esta es mi voz
y nadie se queda aquí ¡yeah!
Este es mi vuelo
esta es mi voz
y nadie se queda aquí, ¡así!

I'm older than I'd wish to be
This town hold no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much to take
When you're not there

as we were taking outside it was cold we were shivering yet warmed by the subject matter
my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died i'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon"
and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain
and yes you're a fine woman and I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're
successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" I was all pigtails and cords
and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you I think you're insensitive
and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil?
and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said
"well what about that man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together

You're tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
You used to lift me up
Now you get me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?
Again, again...
You're killing me again
Am I still in your head?
You used to light me up
Now you shut me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?
I'm losing you again
Like eating me inside
I used to lift you up
Now I get you down
Without your love
You're tearing me apart
With you close by
You're crushing me inside
Without your love
You're tearing me apart
Without your love
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't lose this sadness
I can't lose this sadness
Can't lose this sadness
You're tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
Without your love
(you used to lift me up)
You're crushing me inside
(now you get me down)
With you close by
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't lose this sadness
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
It's tearing me apart

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
"And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
Afraid to look
As clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call
I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?"

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will
There are those who think that
They were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them-
They weren't born in Lotus-Land
All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That's far too fleet

Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
Every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sitting in a box like lost and found
But I found my place
And it's alright
We're all searching for a better way
Get it off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
Y'all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
All they known is sinking is the bow
And if you want to have to pray
It's alright
We all be thinking with our different brains
Get this off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
in no faith
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway
Science says we're makin love like the lizzards
Trying to say that fossils aint profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says stand up, sit down, you're out
But I found my place
And it's alright
I'll bear witness to some stranger things
Get this off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there's no way
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway hey
hey hey
hey hey
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
in no faith
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway
It's Ok
Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
For God's sake
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway

She was lost and I was drunk
And it was dark and cold out
When we left
As we walked the rain started
The leaves softened with every step
And all around us people slept
Alone with their dreams
The wind came down from up the plains
And blew the leaves all through the streets
I wondered how far leaves
Could really fly
Would they rest in suburb yards?
Or make it to the city?
Or would they end up in the river
Just to float away?
She pointed to a small brick house
And said it was where she grew up
The lights were out
She asked if we could stop for a while
Her hair was still just getting wet
The water running down her neck
Collecting in the handprint in the cement
Beneath her feet
Apparently thered been a death
Someone close had nothing left
Because she hadnt loved him
In the end
I saw her blush when I asked
If she always talked like that
She said it only happened
When she drank
And later on I felt her hand
Slipping into my cold fist
She promised me a kiss
As soon as we got home
Her costume had begun to tear
She ran ahead and turned to me
Her laughter echoed through
The empty streets

The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.

worry not just leave me be
i'll abide til the end
and i'll take it on the chin for you my friend
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And I understand
These winds and tides
This change of times
Won't drag you away
Hold on, and hold on tightly
Hold on, and don't let go
Of my love
The storms will pass...the storm will pass...
It won't be long now...it won't be long now...
His love will last
His love will last...forever
Peace

On another day
The eastern sky grows
Cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
Something
Something holds me
Holds me hypnotized
I stare at the window
Stare at the window
Waiting for the day
To go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
now i'm a mile away
and i've
got your
shoes...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Catch the fastest train around nine
Yes I'm leaving the sorrow and heartache
Before it takes me away from my mind
Send me love and I may let you see me
Send me hopes that can fill my head
But if you really want me to answer
I could only let you know when I'm dead
When sadness fills my days
It's time to turn away
And then tomorrow's dreams
Become reality to me
So realize I'm much better without you
You're not the one and only thing in my heart
I'll just go back to pretending I'm living
but this time I'm gonna have the star part

Tu ya no te tienes que esconder
Está bien, está bien
Sabes que te quiero como ayer
Está bien, está bien
Sabes te quiero como ayer
Está bien, está bien
Sabes que te quiero como ayer.
Este soy yo
esta es mi vida
esta es mi oportunidad
Este soy yo
esta es mi voz
tal vez no hay mañana ¡NO!
Este es mi vuelo
esta es mi voz
y nadie se queda aquí ¡yeah!
Este es mi vuelo
esta es mi voz
y nadie se queda aquí, ¡así!
Está bien, está bien
tu no te tienes que esconder
Está bien, está bien
Sabes que te quiero como ayer
Está bien, está bien
Sabes te quiero como ayer
Está bien, está bien
¡Todos todos bien!

This town hold no more for me
All my life I try to find another way
I don't care for your attitude
You bring me down I think you're rude
All my life I try to make a better day
It's hard enough being alone
Sitting here by the phone
Waiting for my memories
To come and play
It's hard enough sitting there
Rockin' in your rockin' chair
It's all too much to take
When you're not there

my wife is in the next room we've been having troubles you know please don't tell her or anyone
but I need to talk to somebody
you said "wouldn't it be a shame if I knew how great I was five minutes before I died i'd be filled
with such regret before I took my last breath" and I said "you're willing to tell me this now
and you're not going to die any time soon"
and I said I haven't been eating chicken or meat or anything and you said yes
but you've been wearing leather and laughed and said we're at the top of the food chain
and yes you're a fine woman and I cringed
I was hoping I was hoping we could heal each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could be raw together
we left the restaurant where the head waiter (in his 60's) said "good-bye sir thank you for your business sir you're
successful and established sir and we like the frequency with which you dine here sir
and your money" and when I walked by they said "thank you too dear" I was all pigtails and cords
and there was a day when I would've said something like "hey dude I could buy and sell this place so kiss it"
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping I was hoping we could crack each other up
I too thought that when proved wrong I lost somehow
I too once thought life was cruel
it's a cycle really you think i'm withdrawing and guilt tripping you I think you're insensitive
and I don't feel heard and I said do you believe we are fundamentally judgmental? fundamentally evil?
and you said yes I said I don't believe in revenge in right or wrong good or bad you said
"well what about that man that I saw handcuffed in the emergency room bleeding after beating his kid
and she threw a shoe at his head.
I think what he did was wrong and I would've had a hard time feeling compassion for him"
I had to watch my tone for fear of having you feel judged.
I was hoping I was hoping we could dance together
I was hoping I was hoping we could be creamy together

Crushing me inside
You used to lift me up
Now you get me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?
Again, again...
You're killing me again
Am I still in your head?
You used to light me up
Now you shut me down
If I
Was to walk away
From you my love
Could I laugh again?
If I
Walk away from you
And leave my love
Could I laugh again?
I'm losing you again
Like eating me inside
I used to lift you up
Now I get you down
Without your love
You're tearing me apart
With you close by
You're crushing me inside
Without your love
You're tearing me apart
Without your love
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't lose this sadness
I can't lose this sadness
Can't lose this sadness
You're tearing me apart
Crushing me inside
Without your love
(you used to lift me up)
You're crushing me inside
(now you get me down)
With you close by
I'm dowsed in madness
Can't lose this sadness
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why
It's ripping me apart
It's tearing me apart
It's tearing me apart
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
Without your love
It's tearing me apart

Or find another gate
Guilt by associate
The rushes wilted a long time ago
Guilty as you go
Got a 3 speed and banana seat
Sitting back on the sissy bar
Went to Sev and got a drink
Wish I was driving in daddy's car
And I looked up at the sky last night
And I thought I saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Riding down on Springhill road
Meeting Alfred out in the woods
Dogs bark and mosquitos bite
Scratching the itch that makes it feel good
And I looked into the mirror last night
All I saw was a pretty blonde
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Life is funny
But not ha ha funny
Peculiar I guess
You think I got it going my way
Then why am I such a fuckin' mess?
Want a pony and a birthday cake
Want a party with a scary clown
Kneel down and bow to the princess
Kneel down for the queen of the town
And I looked up at the sky last night
And I thought I saw a bomb
And why won't you just tell me what's going on?
Tell me what's going on
If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass
Can't think of anything I need
No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound
Nothing to eat, no books to read
Making love with you
Has left me peaceful, warm and tired
What more could I ask
There's nothing left to be desired
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak
So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
Afraid to look
As clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call
I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?"
You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear-
I will choose free will
There are those who think that
They were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them-
They weren't born in Lotus-Land
All pre-ordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt
That's far too fleet
Peace

They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view.
Everyone's a critic looking back up the river
Every boat is leaking in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sitting in a box like lost and found
But I found my place
And it's alright
We're all searching for a better way
Get it off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
Y'all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sitting with their backs to the middle
All they known is sinking is the bow
And if you want to have to pray
It's alright
We all be thinking with our different brains
Get this off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
in no faith
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway
Science says we're makin love like the lizzards
Trying to say that fossils aint profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says stand up, sit down, you're out
But I found my place
And it's alright
I'll bear witness to some stranger things
Get this off my plate
It's alright
I got my own way to believe
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
there's no way
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway hey
hey hey
hey hey
It's ok
Sometimes you find yourself having to put all your faith
in no faith
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway
It's Ok
Sometimes you find yourself being told to change your ways
For God's sake
mine is mine and your's won't take its place
now make your getaway
now make your getaway
