Modest Mouse - Interstate 8 Lyrics
Spent 18 hours waiting stoned for space
I spent the same 18 hours in the same damn place
I'm on a road shaped like a figure 8
I'm going nowhere, but I'm guaranteed to be late
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? [x2]
How have you? [x2]
I drove around for hours, I drove around for days
I drove around for months and years and never went no place
We're on a pass, we're on pass
I stopped for gas, no (welcome?) place
We paid for gas to drive around
Around the Interstate 8
You go out like a riptide
You know that ball has no sides
You're an angel with an amber halo
Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
Wind-up anger with the endless view of
The ground's colorful patchwork
How have you been? [x2]
How have you? [x2]

Modest Mouse

Tundra/Desert

Every sick, fickle fucker
Childhood's what makes ya
Till they treat ya like tundra
Weigh those opinions
More like air than lead
Every planned occupation
Surefire disappointment up ahead
Till they treat ya like desert
See mirages of friendship, face turns read
Here's the soon to be anchor
Build bridges to nothing, you'll get nowhere
Every governor's mother knows
That their bread is buttered by Sam
And what about science?
they find proof and let you make your own decisions
Every childstar wonders
If they have a future up ahead
Every kindhearted banker
I don't think there is one
Every winning opinion
Stand on platforms in water
Filling jars full of silence you'll get nowhere

on candystripe legs spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the
room! and there is nothing i can do when i
realise with freight that the spiderman is having
me for dinner tonight

quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my
eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious
boy don't struggle like that or i will only love
you more for it's much too late to get away or
turn on the light the spiderman is having you
for dinner tonight"

and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
million shivering furry holes and i know that in
the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry...

Don't wanna waste time
Is it a matter of mind?
Don't wanna lose control
I've gotta say goodbye, my love

We just couldn't get it right
It was a matter of time
All I wanted was to stay there in your arms
But when the door opened, I had to say goodbye
Goodbye
And I knew it was not our fate
But I waited all those years to hear you say
"I always loved you
Only you, only you"
I knew that it was just too late
Mine to the end...no

Though I still have dreams of you and I together again
I can't afford to lie
I had to say goodbye
Goodbye
We didn't know the future
But we did what was right

Christmas Song--Dave Mathews Band

She was his girl; he was her boyfriend
She be his wife; take him as her husband
A suprise on the way--any day, any day
One healthy little giggling dribbling baby boy
The wise men came--three made their way
To shower him w/ love while he lay in the hay
Shower him w/ love, love, love.
love love love
love love is all around

Not very much of his childhood was known
Kept his mother Mary worried--always out on his own
He met another Mary for a reasonable fee, less than
Reputable as known to be

His heart was full of love, love, love
love love love
love love is all around

When Jesus Christ was nailed to his tree
Saying oh, daddio, I can see how this all soon will be
I came to shed a little light on this darkened sea
Instead, I fear I've spilled the blood of my children all around
the blood of my children all around
the blood of our children is all around

So I'm told, so the story goes
The people he knew were less than golden--
?...., gamblers and robbers
drinkers and jokers--all soul-searchers--like you and me
Rumours insisted he soon would be,
for his deviations taken into custody
by the authorities less informed than he
drinkers and jokers--all soul-searchers--
searching for love, love, love
love love love
love love is all around

Preparations were made for a celebration day
He said, "Eat this bread and think of it as me;
drink this wine and we'll dream it will be
the blood of our children all around", the blood of our children all around
the blood of our children is all around

Isn’t it strange that a gift could be an enemy
Isn’t it weird that a privilege could feel like a chore
Maybe it’s me, but this life isn’t going anywhere
Maybe if we looked hard enough we could find a back door
Find yourself a back door

I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege

Isn’t it strange that the man standing in front of me
Doesn’t have a clue why he’s waiting or what he’s waiting for
Maybe it’s me but I’m sick of wasting energy
Maybe if I look in my heart, I can find a back a door
Find yourself a back door

I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your
That is your privilege
Find yourself a back door

I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your privilege
I see you in line dragging your feet
You have my sympathy
The day you were born you were born free
That is your
That is your privilege

P.S. You Rocked My World--Eels

I was at a funeral the day I realized
I wanted to spend my life w/ you.
Sittin' down on the steps at the old post office,
the flag was flying at half-mast and I was thinking bout' how
everyone is dying
and maybe its time...to live.
I don't know where I'm going; I don't know what we'll do.

Walked into the thrifty;
saw the man w/ the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change.
But it didn't bother me this time
cause I know I've only got this moment and its good.
I went to the gas station;
old women honked her horn
waiting for me to fix her car.
I don't know where I'm going; I don't know what we'll do.

Laying in bed tonight I was thinking
and listening to all the dogs, and the sirens, and the shots,
and how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets
while a happy man takes a walk.

And maybe its time to live.

I ran away from you
That's all I ever do
And though I started here
I ran away from you

I'm gonna come on in
And see it through
I ran away from you
That's all I ever do

And when I heard you call
"Come back to me"
I know I should stay
I don't have the stomach to

Everyone I know says
I'm a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know says
It's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call
And yet my day is so full
There might be nothing left to do
So I ran away from you

I'm gonna come on in
My eyes are closed
I can feel it there
The sun's so close
I'm gonna come on out
And burn the sky

A star arose in my own cage
I'm stuck in life and in a cage

Just a single star
I sing for

Everyone I know says
I'm a fool mess with you
Everyone I know says
It's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call
And yet my day is so full
And I did not know what to do
So I ran away from you

I Ran Away ~ Coldplay

Porch · February 2005

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?

How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ohoo
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
and that's what I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do
and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Its the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy(girl)
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet thing
Cause she's(he's) the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping a load
A pie in the face for being a sleep 'n bull doag

(whistle)

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years

What a day for daydream
Custom made for a daydreamin' boy(girl)
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy

(whistle)

I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
I know where he's taking me
Taking me where I wanna be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend

We're flying high
Watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He promised me I'm safe in his houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again

We're flying high
Watching the world pass us by
We're flying high
Watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to come down
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground

See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's all right tonight
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's all right tonight

HIGH WIRE DAYS - PSYCHEDELIC FURS

They tore up our kisses and ran
on tomorrow's pages
and the lions have eaten the lamb
on tomorrow's pages
There's a day of your life in your hands
full of people you don't understand

(CHORUS)
In my highwire days
I can see all the way
I see through the games you play
in my highwire days

They pushed all the buttons and things
on tomorrow's pages
and the sirens do nothing but sing
on tomorrow's pages
and you put on your prettiest face
and you wait for the news that we made

(CHORUS)

Our dreams have all gone up on sale
on tomorrow's pages
and we paid for the cross and the nails
on tomorrow's pages
and we put on out prettiest face
and we wait for the news that we made

(CHORUS)

Ayedavanita · February 2005

Hold on to the thread
the currents will shift
glide me towards...
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...

If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would
Let it go
Surrender
Dislocate

If I could throw this
Lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay
See you walk, walk away
Into the night
And through the rain
Into the half-light
And through the flame

If I could through myself
Set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
See you break, break away
Into the light
And to the day

To let it go
And so to fade away
To let it go
And so fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

If you should ask then maybe they'd
Tell you what I would say
True colors fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would
Let it go...

This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go

And so fade away
To let it go
And so fade away
To let it go
And so to fade away

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh, no, no, no

I found your photograph in a cardboard box in a magazine
I can't remember you, remember us or anything
I taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb
They taught you how to feel, but you just feel numb

She comes apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
And it's over

I watch the window and listen for the sound of cars
I can't remember the last time that it was yours
I taught you how to feel, why do you feel numb
They taught us how to feel, but we just feel numb

She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over
When it's over

She falls apart in the avalanche
Fades out like a dance
Crawls back into bed
When it's over
And it's over
When it's over

Past the billboards and the magazines
I dream about being with you
We can't hear a word they say
Let's pretend we own the world today

I know it's cold outside
But when we're together I got nothing to hide
Hold on tight I will never let you down
It can't rain on our side of town

Wipe the sweat from my hair
Tell me we're not better off
Wipe the tears from my face
The sunnyside of the street where we are

bikini kill - for tammy rae.

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows, I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows, I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows, you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows--- I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand

That green eyes
Yeah the spotlight shines upon you
And how could anybody deny you

I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I flow
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

That green eyes,
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind

Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Since I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you

Green eyes
Green eyes
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
