  • I met a girl on Halloween
    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 there’d been a death
    Someone close had nothing left
    Because she hadn’t 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

  • 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..".

    I'm gonna love you
    Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....
  • 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...

    The Illusion that you feel, is real..............
    The best use of Life is Love.
    The best expression of Love is Time.
    The best time to Love is Now.


    I'm never as good as when you're there.........
  • I studied your face, the fear goes away.

  • 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.

  • 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



    the mighty kc....

    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..

  • This is my world and I am the world leader pretend
    Happy up here in my tree
  • 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.

    worry not just leave me be

    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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Pay for your freedom
    Or find another gate
    Guilt by associate
    The rushes wilted a long time ago
    Guilty as you go
    Happy up here in my tree
  • The Eels

    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
  • The Hollies


    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

    Lies are a funny thing.
    They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
    Time wounds all the heals as we fade out of view.

  • Getaway

    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
