[J A S M I N E S]

Come on hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

I Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

And I need to feel real love
And a life ever after
I cannot give it up

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel real love
In the life ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Teary
Since that day
Forever
Feel

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

I don't feel like copying the libretto for The Marriage of Figaro.

If you guys don't know this band, listen to them. Their lyrics and music are so damn good. Here's a song with lyrics from a CD that is a great commentary on the music industry. Listen to them and let me know what you think.

"My Name Is Ozymandias" - Gatsby's American Dream

With a wink and a nod look we're all giving favors!
There's four pale pinked boys in an accountants hand
Examples must be made! Discipline must be maintained!
See, we're all a little mad here

What a joy it is to kill all my hunger in
three minutes and thirty seconds
Cause at the top of the world we're all just the bottom line
Someone's been shook red-handed!

Dead stage center at the ****-grin parade
Beware! beware!
Beware of an aging pack of men who think like cats
Wow! ain't it grand to be part of the future?!
A pox on ye phony kings
And all night while you slumber you'll dream of electric sheep
For we may perish at the hands we must shake
Our bodies longing for the aches to escape
And the filth they'll accept is the filth
That I'm dragging my belly through

Cause we're being drowned out in our own ****ing sound
Now the teenage brigade has opinions
And I can't get respect cause I'm not at the bar
Now the teenage brigade has opinions
When I'm weak it is bleak and they're all capping me
With their cold metal clutch on us tightly
So get hip to recouping with youth at the bottom of a rabbit's hole!


.... hell yes.

[Aunty-lion]

I wonder has anyone mentioned The Mountain Goats ( John Darniel)???

The man is a lyrical genius.
This is my favourite:

there will be no divorce


------------------------
the rain fell all night and it kept me awake
it was still falling by morning.
it was hard to take.
and you were sleeping on the floor,
breathing free and even,.
if i ever want to drive myself insane,
all i have to do is watch you breathing
and at 5 AM, i turned the radio on,
and an old mans voice sang a short sweet song,
and then the static roared again hungry for blood
i heard the rain falling from the rain spout
down down into the sweet wet mud,
and you punched out all the windows
and the wind began to wail
and you gathered your hair behind your head
like god was gonna catch you by the pony tail,
and then the old voice crackled through the static.
and i felt young and alive
and the hair stood up on the back of my neck
we were rising from the grave, yeah yeah.

Ohhhhhh.... I cry every time

[Shalot]

Must be your skin I'm sinking in
must be for real cuz now I can feel
and I didn't mind
it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why
everything's gone white
and everything's gray
now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
don't let the days go by

glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

if I treated you bad
you bruise my face
couldn't love you more
you got a beautiful taste
don't let the days go by
could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
could have been easier by three
our old friend fear and you and me
glycerine [repeat]
don't let the days go by
glycerine

I needed you more
when we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
it might just be
clear simple and plain
that's just fine
that's just one of my names
don't let the days go by
could've been easier on you
glycerine


(these could have been so much better if they had written 'cause instead of cuz -- still, I like these lyrics. I like how they say one thing and then another)

[Idril]

I love Bush (the band) and that song is one of my favorites.

[katie9trent]

I love Charlotte Church, but since she grew up. Does she sing as good anymore?

[Debrasue]

When I was a young girl
I would dream of a lover...
To be my shining knight
of strength one day.
He'd carry me to the heavens
and battle all my dragons on the way.

And he'd ride down
on a great white horse...
he'd bring me love
I was longing for...
he's bring me joy
and lasting peace...
and on a great white horse
he'd ride away with me.

When I was a young man
I used to dream of a maiden...
with long, soft hair flowing in the wind.
Her laughing eyes and loving arms
would follow...
when I'd sail around the world
and back again.

And I'd ride down
on a great white horse...
I'd bring her love
she was longing for...
I'd bring her laughter,
and sunny days...
And on a great white horse
carry her away!

The time has flown...(I find there are no dragons)
and I don't want to sail the seven seas...
(anywhere we are becomes our castle)...
and the only world I want is here with me!

And we both ride on
a great white horse...
we found the love
we were longing for...
(You are my sunshine on a rainy day)
You are my April, your my May....

The Great White Horse
by Buck Owens
from the movie "Dear Frankie"

"Indoor Living" by Motion City Soundtrack

Outside the sidelines failing,
Harder than the martyred stars of made for tv crime
Indoor living in cardboard confines
Counts for very little when safe is just a state of mind.
I fell off the sidelines long ago,
I have no occupation, I'm just wasted for the weekend scene
So don't ask me out, don't make me try,
'Cause I don't wanna let you, I don't wanna...

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

Last call for societal knockdowns
Measure my endeavors loosely based
On someone else's song
Melodrama and a bottle of wine
Yeah, here's to self expression
Here's to everyone that's dead
Bring back the days that fell behind
I'm all wasted conversations
In the corner of an empty room
So don't ask me out
Don't make me try
'Cause I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna...

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

I can't complain if I don't know how
It's a sad sad song with no story line
I fall to sleep in my rented room
It's not much to talk about,
I've got so much to talk about
But I don't wanna let you
I don't wanna let you down

Outside the sidelines
Failing harder than the martyred
Stars of made for tv crimes
So don't ask me out
Don't make me try
'Cause I'm just gonna let you
I'm just gonna let you down

[Debrasue]

Stranger than you dreamt it...
can you even dare to look..
or bear to think of me..
this loathsome gargoyle...who..
burns in Hell but secretly...
yearns for Heaven...secretly...secretly..
Fear can turn to love,
you'll learn to see,
to find the man...
behind the monster...
this... repulsive carcase...who
seems a beast..but..secretly
dreams of beauty...secretly..secretly
Oh...Christine......

"Stranger Than You Dreamt It"
Andrew Lloyd Webber- The Phantom of the Opera

[Nightshade]

Reason to believe ---- DAshboard Confessional

Oh sweet lungs don't fail me now
Your burning has turned into fuel
It drills me in my every step, Im moving quick
But you're always on my heels

Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, my knees are weak
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
My heart is sturdy but it needs you

Breathe
Don't you want to breathe
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need
My capillaries scream
There's nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross the line
Will you carry me there one more time

Steady lungs dont fail me now
I feel you bursting, but you wont let me die
Fill me up with every step, I'm feeling sick
But I'm leaving it behind

Just one more breath I beg you please
Just one more step you are not weak
My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive
My heart is sturdy but I need you

Breathe
Dont you want to breathe
I know that you are strong enough to handle what i need
My capillaries scream
Theres nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross the line
Will you carry me there once more

I have reason to believe
That I have victories to taste
I can feel them on my teeth
Upon my lips
And in my chest
I can roll them on my tongue
They are more supple than defeat
I feel the tension in my lungs
And every move is filled by my resolve to

Breathe
Dont you want to breathe
I know that you are strong enough to handle what i need
My capillaries scream
Theres nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross that line
Will you carry me there one more time

[Riesa]

Less Than You Think ~ Wilco


Your mind's a machine
It's deadly and dull
It's never been still and its will
Has never been free

Lightly tapping
A high-pitched drum

As your spine starts to shine
You shiver at your soul
A fist so clear and climbing
Punches a hole
In the sky
So you can see
For yourself
If you don't believe me

There's so much less
To this than you think

It's almost gone
The night is dissolving
In a cup God lifts
To toast the lightning

Lightly tapping
It's high-pitched and it hums

Your spine starts to shine
And you shiver at your soul
A fist so clear and climbing
Punches a hole
In the sky
So you can see
For yourself
If you don't believe me

There's so much less
To this than you think

[Debrasue]

for our friends who might need some encouragement...'cause we've all been there....try to imagine Roy Orbison's beautiful voice...

The Only One
Wesley Orbison/Craig Wiseman

Everyone you know’s been through it
You bite the bullet, then you chew it
Tie the knot at the end of your rope
Buy a book to help you cope
But no consolation gonna come
You’re the only one

Take a look through history
Recant some bits of poetry
You’ll find the words still ring true
Some things don’t change
Some things do

And you’re the only one with a broken heart
The only one who’s afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees a blue moon

What you wouldn’t give right now
To be another face in the crowd

And you’re the only one who’s all alone
The only one who’s love is gone
The only one who has given in
The only one who will give again
And you’re the only one with a broken heart
The only one who is falling apart
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who can see the blue moon

The only one who is falling apart
The only one who’s afraid of the dark
The only one in a crowded room
The only one who sees the blue moon

[Shalot]

In the Flesh - Pink Floyd

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through the
Disguise


and all the rest --- I wish I hadn't listened to The Wall so many times that I almost can't stand it now. They don't make albums anymore --- does anyone know of an entire album that you can listen to in its entirety (that's new)

[Redzeppelin]

In the Flesh - Pink Floyd

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through the
Disguise

Still trying to come up with my favorite lyrics - too many to chose from!
But these above are great ones - I love this song - and the album was the soundtrack for my 14-year-old life.
