"Yer favourite lyrics"

Yes, I've had a skin full and am feeling mightily sentimental and empathic, but let's have your favourite songs, or just parts of the lyrics that speak to you .....

Okey dokey.

*sways with drunken-ness*

"HIC"

"My journalist aquaintances
Go soft, go places
On record company expenses"

Cnc's Mithering - The Fall

"Look at a woman of 49
look at a man of 49
You can read their lousy lives
You can see their ugly face lines"

Futures and Pasts - The Fall

"Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinthn coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes withering across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no-one called us to the land
And no-one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb towards the li-i-i-ight

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me-e-e
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you thru the land
And help me understand the best I ca-a-an
And no-one calls us to move on
And no-one forces down our eyes
No-one speaks and no-one tries
No-one flies around the Su-u-u-un

Cloudless every day you form upon my waking eyes
Inciting and inviting me to rise
Thru the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no-one sings me lullabys
And no-one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the ski-i-i-ies"

Echoes - Pink Floyd

"Struck A Nerve" by Bad Religion

There's an old man on a city bus holding a candy cane
And it isn't even Christmas
He sees a note in the obituary that his last friend has died
There's an infant clinging to his overweight mother in the cold
As they go to shop for cigarettes
And she spends her last dollar on a bottle of vodka for tonight

And I guess it struck a nerve
Like I had to squint my eyes
You can never get out of a line of sight
Like a barren winter day
Or a patch of unburnt green
Like a tragic real dream
I guess it struck a nerve

Every day I wander in negative disposition
As I'm bombarded by superlatives
Realising very well that I am not alone
Introverted I look to tomorrow for salvation
But I'm thinking altruistically
And a wave of overwhelming doubt turns me to stone

And I guess it struck a nerve
Sent a murmur through my heart
We just haven't got time to crack the maze
Like a magic speeding clock
Or a cancer in ourselves
A collision in the dark
I guess it struck a nerve

I try to close my eyes
But I cannot ignore the stimuli
If there's a purpose for us all it remains a secret to me
Don't ask me to justify my life

'Cos I guess it struck a nerve
Like I had to squint my eyes
You can never get out of a line of sight
Like a magic speeding clock
Or a cancer in ourselves
A collision in the dark
I guess it struck a nerve

Badlands- "Dancing On The Edge" (Ray Gillen/Jake E. Lee)

Living on the moonshine
It's the season and I'm insane
Living on the moonshine's a crazy scene
Laughing through the morning sunshine
Rollin' in the rain is all I need, it's all I need

Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Oh, I'm dancin' on the edge tonight

Oh, mama says it's alright
But I'm leaving it all behind
If mama says it's all right, it's fine with me
Runnin' through a distant thunder
In a summer's rain is all I need, it's all I need

Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Oh, I'm dancin' on the edge tonight

Ooh, livin' on the moonshine
It's the season and I'm insane
Livin' on the moonshine's a crazy scene
I'm never, never, never looking back on my time
Gotta keep on movin'
Do you know what I mean
You know what I mean

Ridin' on the wings of thunder
Blinded by a full moon's light
I'm runnin' like a river full of hunger
Oh

Greenday-Jesus if suburbia/dearly beloved.

Dearly Beloved,Are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we Demented?
Or am I disturbed?
The space that's inbetween insane and insecure
on therapy,can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded?
Or am I just Overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word and that's my best Excuse.

Led Zeppelin- "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"

Babe, baby, baby, I'm Gonna Leave You.
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you.
I'll leave you when the summertime,
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along.

Baby, baby, I don't wanna leave you,
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble.
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin',
We really got to ramble.
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do,
I can hear it callin' me back home!

Babe...I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh I can hear it callin 'me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?

I know I never never never gonna leave your babe
But I got to go away from this place,
I've got to quit you, yeah
Baby, ooh don't you hear it callin' me?
Woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day baby, it's really gonna grow, yes it is.
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day.
Come what may, every day

It was really, really good.
You made me happy every single day.
But now... I've got to go away!

Baby, baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home...

The Sweetest Thing:

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won’t catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby’s got blue skies up ahead
But in this I’m a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I’m losing you
Hey hey hey, I’m losing you yeah
Ain’t love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I’m losing you
Oh oh oh, I’m losing you yeah
Ain’t love the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah

Blue-eyed boy and this brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby’s got blue skies up ahead
And in this I’m a rain cloud
You know we got a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

With or without you:- U2

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
With or without you

Eight of Nine- Ataris

these hospital walls are the palest of white
here in this desert they're reciting my last rites
the smell of these halls
brings temporary comfort
as the oxygen flows through my blood
el corazon was poisoned tonight...
she's on her eight of nine.

when half of all your prayers are insincere,
the other half are lies.
here is this watermark under this bridge.
the point where it all crested,
rolled back and drifted into the sea.
i climb from this wreckage
as the smoke begins to clear from my lungs.
the closest of close calls has happened tonight.

it's time that i made things right
for the first time,
since the last time.
let this moment of clarity
lift this curse that has been cast upon me.

appreciate the good times,
but don't take the worst for granted.
'cause you only get so many second chances

My Reply- Ataris


I got your letter and the poetry you sent me
Postmarked in december of last year
I really hope you're doing better
All of your friends close by your side
One step closer to recovery

I wish there was something i could say
To erase each and every page that you've been through
Even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you'll just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tommorrow

These arms remain stretched out to you
Maybe someday you'll accept them
Or maybe its too late to save a young girls heart that's long stopped beating

Wake up, wake up you've gotta believe
Wake up, wake up you cant give up
Time keeps going on without us
Long after we're dead and gone

I wish there was something i could say
To erase each and every page
You've been through
Even though its not my place to save you

I appreciate but can't accept this thank-you note
Thats sealed with your last breath
I won't stand aside and listen to you give up

If you'll just hold on for one more second
Just hold on to what you have
If you'll just hold on, just hold on
You will wake up tommorrow
