Lyrics!

[Graham]

Everyone hears lyrics that mean something to them, or that they find has a certain connection to thier emotions...so, if people want to share them, then fire away!.

I'll kick off on a slightly emo-tip:

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you



Now life devalues day by day
As friends and neighbours turn away
And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone

Now frontiers shift like desert sands
While nations wash their bloodied hands
Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray

[Luco El Loco]

Night Comes Down by Judas Priest. I just like this... sums up a little bit how I feel lately:

Night Comes Down

In the last rays of the setting sun
And the past days, that's where our memories run
And all of those times
Still race through my mind
I'm shattered inside to find

When the night comes down
And I'm here all alone
When the night comes down
And there's no place to go

Call me and I'll wait till the summer
You never understood
Call me and I'll wait forever
For a love that's only good
As the light starts to dim
The fear closes in
And the nightmares begin

Oh no you won't be there tomorrow
Oh no say it isn't true
Can't take this pain and sorrow
Oh can't you see my heart is broken in two

Idlewild - the remote part (goes a little way in summing up my frame of mind right now... in a more subdued sense, anyways...)

In the beginning, there were answers
Then they came along and changed
All these questions and their answers seem to change

So I’ll wait ‘til I find the remote part of your heart
Nowhere else will let us choose a comfortable start

We stop in every passing place
To watch the world move faster than we do
Watch it pass with our eyes closed the way we usually choose to

So I’ll wait ‘til I find the remote part of your heart
When no where else will let us choose a comfortable start
And even if the breath between us smells of alcohol
Call it confusion in the best way possible

[static anonymity]

The more I say the more I keep confusing things, to make me feel complete
So I keep lying to be honest, it’s not a real defeat
No, no, no, not such a real defeat

All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way
All these things that you don’t know, it seems so much better that way

Can you tell me 10 words that you’d use, to describe the world
Can you tell me 10 words that you’ve used, to describe the world
To people, through people, never seem to know
To people, through people, never know

It’s what you thought you are, it’s what you thought you are
It’s what you thought you are,
It’s what you never thought you are, it’s what you never thought you are
It’s what you thought you could be if you tried much harder

---

There are times that I should try, to be so much more alive
But if time was right then I would be with you again
Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point and then deny
The time I spent deciding it was you again

It’s when I live in a hiding place
It’s the only way I feel safe
When I’m safe in a hiding place
(that’s not hidden now)
I’m safe in a hiding place
It’s the only way I feel safe
When I’m safe in a hiding place

And you’re full of facts but not things that could add up to words
Think about meaning more as an after word
As in afterward

I return but don’t remain, I’m impatient for a reason
To complain about winter, making me see through again
Or is it your damaged reply, that makes me realise that
The more I try the less that plans will help me comprehend again

At The Drive In:
"quarantined"
"invalid litter dept"

[Graham]

"We've got to get better," I said, "It's all in your head."
We could live through these letters or forget it all together
See the months they don't matter it's the days I can't take
When the hours move to minutes and I'm seconds away

Just ask the question come untie the knot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Retrace the steps as if we forgot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Try to avoid it but there's not a doubt
And there's one thing I can do nothing about

When all that we need is just a reaction
It's too much to ask for when there's no attraction anymore
If chasing our dreams is just a distraction
I want to remember but I know that I can't go back

Just ask the question come untie the knot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Retrace the steps as if we forgot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Try to avoid it but there's not a doubt
There's one thing I can do nothing
There's one thing I can do nothing
There's one thing I can do nothing about.

Just ask the question come untie the knot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Retrace the steps as if we forgot
Say you won't care Say you won't care
Try to avoid it (try to avoid it) but there's not a doubt
And there's one thing I can do nothing
There's one thing I can do nothing
There's one thing I can do nothing about.

[Graham]

When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You’re so f**kin’ special

But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.

I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so f**kin’ special
I wish I was special

But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.

She’s running out again,
She’s running out
She’s run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so f**kin’ special
I wish I was special...

But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I don’t belong here.

Enon - come into

All the way with the king-made diamonds
ever willing cake and filling
coming over the surface only
love begins
for the men who swim there
rolling over the phone rings yawning
didn't get it ringing let it
and rolling over the subject matter
turn on the set on the weekends starlet

evil do you know we do
well evil makes you feel like you
what evil do you come into
evil did you know me

oh daughter daughter
I hope you notice
the look of the actress
wove with blackness
they roll around
on a coaster
and bring in
d*ck and news
and all the booze in
they got an eye on the paper dated
two weeks older getting colder
they're pushing south
with open mouth
they're going up when it's down
was it over the counter

evil do you know we do
well evil makes you feel like you
what evil do you come into
and evil did you know me

you're choking out on the circuit break it
in routes and major blackouts
all I need is one exception
to the rule that they affection
all I need is one exception
to the rule that fake affection

evil do you know we do
well evil makes you feel like you
well evil do you know we do
evil makes you feel like you
what evil do you come into
well evil did you know me

I guee a lot of us feel a little like this sometimes. Not the whole song, but bits of it.

[Graham]

aye, it's my own personal anthem at the moment. (i've been playing it too mny times )

[Graham]

Eels - Nothing Inside

I know I went too far this time
Got the world out, got nothing inside
Painted myself in a little corner
No one dares to knock at the door now
Things that I, I ever heard was
It'll be alright, you shoulda heard that one
Have a laugh when you think about it
Just try not to think about it that much
This time will be the last time
It's not that I don't admire your reserve
It's just that, I'm not feeling so good
Think about it, it'll be alright
Got the world out, got nothing inside
Think about me, I got nothing inside

under the hedge - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Oh I’ve been sometimes under your wall.
Keeping it out where I’m not welcome.
I’ve seen you one time stumble and fall
but I still love you, you see?
I’ve been five times back to the well
seeking to turn myself in something.
But you can’t teach what you can’t sell
and I’m not the only one it seems.

I still would say if you asked "it’s built on bonding."
But others will take it out and leave you wanting.
I know you’ve done this before to them
but here’s where it ends and where I stand.
You can’t hold onto yourself
for I have got your holy head in my hands.

And I’ve been a long time out at your wall
seeking to call you back from over.
Cause when you’re out there you seem so tall,
but you’re not the only one you’ll see.

Still I’d say if you asked "it’s built on bonding."
But others will take it out and leave you wanting.
I know you’ve done it before to them
but here’s where it ends and where I stand.
You say you can’t hold yourself back
well I have got your safety head in my hands.

And I’ve been sometimes under your hedge.
I ran like a rabbit from the rifles.
You had me two times out on a ledge
but I still love you, you see?

[Graham]

You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
But still...
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken

Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget?
Why can't you forget

[Graham]

What do you want from me now you got me
Now my fingers bleed now they stare at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace

Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a Chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What do you want from me now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life
Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease, an english disease
It will not go
It will not go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

Whatever you put in that syringe
Whatever you really said to him
He's sitting there inside of me
And you bother me, you possess me
You're there again, ahead of me
I won't let go
I won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head

[Graham]

Remove the cables from my sins,
Add to the collection of all my things,
She sails away to an unknown land,
And all these words will never be the same,
Take me back to the real world,
Gifts of anger in all of my wasted days,
Get away if the pillars fall,
My wicked ways,
Adapt to all of my conflicts,
Illegal spells are in the air again,
It's a wish so simple and insane,
And all these words will never be the same,
It's all in ruins,
It's all crumbled,
They are ruins,
It's all ruins,
It's all ruins.
