Uncle Du 22 Posted May 25, 2009 Viva La Vida - Coldplay I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sweep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing: "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you go there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world (Ohhh) It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted May 26, 2009 Fair enough. Fat Children by Jarvis Cocker Last night I had a little altercation They wobbled menacingly Beneath the yellow street light it became a situation Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Well, some passers-by took me to the station The police force was elsewhere, putting bullets in some guy's head for no particular reason So I died in the back of the cab but I'll be back to haunt them This thing does not end here My spirit walks the streets of Tottenham Singing: Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Fat children took my life Oh, the parents are the problem Giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies So pander to your pampered little princess of such enormous size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted May 26, 2009 my new favorite song: I Thought I Loved You Then Brad Paisley I remember trying not to stare the night that I first met you You had me mesmerized 3 weeks later in the front porch light taking 45 min to kiss you goodnight I hadn?t told you yet but I thought I loved you then Now you?re my whole life now you?re my whole world I just can?t believe the way I feel about you girl Like a river meets the sea Stronger than it?s ever been We?ve come so far since that day And I thought I loved you then. I remember taking you back to right where I first met you You were so surprised There were people around But I didn?t care I got down on one knee right there And once again I thought I loved you then Now you?re my whole life now you?re my whole world I just can?t believe the way I feel about you girl Like a river meets the sea Stronger than it?s ever been We?ve come so far since that day And I thought I loved you then. I can just see you with a baby on the way I can just see you when your hair is turning gray What I can?t see is how I?m ever gonna love you more But I?ve said that before. Now you?re my whole life now you?re my whole world I just can?t believe the way I feel about you girl Well look back some day at this moment that we?re in And I'll look at you and say I thought I loved you then And I thought I loved you then...

Mara 29 Posted May 26, 2009 <3 Mat Kearney - Closer to Love She got the call today One out of the gray And when the smoke cleared It took her breath away She said she didn't believe It could happen to me I guess we're all one phone call from our knees We're gonna get there soon If every building falls And all the stars fade We'll still be singin' this song The one they can't take away I'm gonna get there soon, She's gonna be there too Cryin' in her room Prayin' Lord, come through We're gonna get there soon Oh it's your light, Oh it's your way, Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin' out now From so far away... You pull me closer to love Closer to love Meet me once again Down off Lake Michigan Where we could feel the storm blowin' down with the wind And don't apologize For all the tears you've cried You've been way too strong now for all your life I'm gonna get there soon, You're gonna be there too Cryin' in your room, Prayin' Lord come through We're gonna get there soon Oh, it's your light Oh, it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to show me the way Cryin' out now From so far away... Pull me closer to love Closer to love 'Cause you are all that I've waited for All of my life (We're gonna get there) You are all that I've waited for All of my life You pull me closer to love Closer to love Pull me closer to love Pull me closer to love Closer to love, oh no Closer to love Closer to love Pull me closer to love Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Du 22 Posted May 27, 2009 This is why I love the internet, it totally expands my horizons. Tokio Hotel - Monsoon I'm staring at a broken door There's nothing left here anymore My room is cold It's making me insane I've been waiting here so long Another the moment seems to've come, I see the dark clouds coming up again. Running through the monsoon Beyond the world, To the end of time, Where the rain won't hurt Fighting the storm, Into the blue, And when I lose myself I think of you, Together we'll be running somewhere new Through the monsoon. Just me and you A half moon's fading from my sight I see your vision in its light But now it's gone and left me so alone I know I have to find you now Can hear your name, I don't know how Why can't we make this darkness feel like home? Running through the monsoon Beyond the world To the end of time Where the rain won't hurt Fighting the storm Into the blue And when I lose myself I think of you Together we'll be running somewhere new And nothing can hold me back from you Through the monsoon Hey! Hey! I'm fighting all this power Coming in my way Let it take me straight to you I'll be running night and day I'll be with you soon Just me and you We'll be there soon So soon Running through the monsoon Beyond the world To the end of time Where the rain won't hurt Fighting the storm Into the blue And when I lose myself I think of you Together we'll be running somewhere new And nothing can hold me back from you Through the monsoon Through the monsoon Just me and you Through the monsoon Just me and you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted July 6, 2009 "Failure By Design" by Brand New Watch you on the ones and twos Through a window in a well lit room Become a recluse And I blame myself cause I make things hard and you're just trying to help And when I wake up you're the first to call This is one more late night basement song and I'm so sore My voice has gone to hell This is one more sleepless night because we don't believe in filler, baby If I could I'd sit this out (This is over when I say it's over) This is a lesson in procrastination I kill myself because I'm so frustrated And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock (And I ignore it and it ignores me too) What say we go and crash your car? And every time I leave you go and lock the door And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder I'm another day late and one year older It's failure by design And we just want sleep But this night is hell I'm sick and sunk and I blame myself cause I make things hard and you were just trying to help I got no gas Winding out my gears This is one more day on the verge of tears And now my head hurts And my health is a joke And now I gotta stop cause the headphones broke We don't believe in filler, baby If I could I'd sit this out (This is over when I say it's over) This is a lesson in procrastination I kill myself because I'm so frustrated And every single second that I put it off means another lonely night I gotta race the clock (And I ignore it and it ignores me too) What say we go and crash your car? And every time I leave you go and lock the door And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder I'm another day late and one year older It's failure by design I'm out of everything No one sleeps till we get this s*** out on the shelves It's late, I'm faltering This time I got nothin' to say besides... Do Do Do. Do Do Do. Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters today) Do Do Do. Do Do Do. Do Do Do. Do Do Do.(nothin else matters tonight) Do Do Do. Do Do Do. Do Do Do.

TheUnknown 39 Posted July 17, 2009 Here's yet another Smashing Pumpkins song that describes in part how I'm feeling: "Here Is No Why" The useless drag of another day The endless drags of a death rock boy Mascara sure and lipstick lost Glitter burned by restless thoughts Of being forgotten And in your sad machines Youll forever stay Desperate and displeased - with whoever you are And youre a star Somewhere - he pulls his hair down - over a frowning smile A hidden diamond you cannot find A secret star that cannot shine over to you May the king of gloom be forever doomed And in your sad machines Youll forever stay Burning up in speed Lost inside your dreams, of teen machines The useless drags, the empty days The lonely towers of long mistakes To forgotten faces and faded loves Sitting still was never enough And if youre giving in, youre giving up cause in your sad machines Youll forever stay Burning up in speed Lost inside the dreams of teen machines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted July 30, 2009 It's off of the soundtrack to the movie Singles. Great stuff. I'd recommend The Replacements, particularly the album Let It Be, which has some absolutely beautiful songs on it, but I'm not sure they're up your alley. Particularly with songs like "Gary's Got A Boner" and "Androgynous." :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ender 8 Posted July 30, 2009 Now, here's a song from the best album I've heard this year. Everyone should go buy it. Film Noir by The Gaslight Anthem I'm all washed out by the side of the road. Broken bones Matilda left a note and a rose. Saying "Baby honey child, I love you so long but you deserve much better than me" So I'm just burning all around. All the miles on the road. And I'm never going back. And I'm never going home. I've been gone too long. I've been less right than wrong. I've lost so much blood in the falling out And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. Until all I remember was burning away. And all I remember, you burnt it away. See for 10 long years I've been hustling around. Tryin' to wash the sins and sweat from my brow. Just trying to find a better life for me and my own. Just some rest for these tired working fingers. But nobody's ever going to tear you away. You gotta figure it out boys. It's all for the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat in the day. when all you ever really wanted was someone to understand. And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. Until all I remember was burning away. And all I remember, you burnt it away. Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry. Cross your hard heart and hope to die. Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time. Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night. And your sugar and spice, and everything nice. You got monroe hips, your poison lips and knives. And your sugar and spice, and everything. Open wounds and a young boy's pride. And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out. Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house. Until all I remember was burning away. And all I had left, you burnt it away. Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry. Cross your hard heart and hope to die. Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time. Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chickenman 9 Posted August 8, 2009 "Satellite Mind" by Metric Hold it I'm about to drop off Let me tell you my last thought Drift into a deep fog lost where i forgot to Hold it I can feel you most when i'm alone Coming home 'cause i want to Hang out with the starlet Stare up at the ceiling Preview of a screening Flashback of a feeling Sick sense of a calling Heard you ewok through the wall I heard you ewok When i'm bored I send vibrations, in your direction, from the satellite mind And if i'm bored I send vibrations, in your direction, from the satellite mind I'm not suicidal I just can't get out of bed I drift into a deep fog lost where i forgot to Hold it I can feel you most when i'm alone I can feel your ghost when i'm alone Coming home 'cause i want to Hang out with the starlet Stare up at the ceiling Hiding and revealing Flashback of a feeling Sick sense of a calling Heard you ewok through the wall I heard you ewok When i'm bored I send vibrations, in your direction, from the satellite mind And if i'm bored I send vibrations, in your direction, from the satellite mind From the satellite mind It sounded like mine When your voice Became vibrations From the satellite mind It sounded like mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted August 20, 2009 "One Beat" by Sleater-Kinney I'm a bubble in a sound wave A sonic push for energy Exploding like the sun A flash of clean light hope All you scientists can hold your breath Can I decide to show myself? Oh oh Oh oh oh... (Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly Oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme) If you think like Thomas Edison Could you invent a world for me Now all that's on the surface Are bloody arms and oil fields Could I turn this place all upside down And shake you and your fossils out, oh oh Oh oh oh... (You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, why Oh my, cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high) And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know You tune out out out the hypnotic drone Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know Should I come outside and run your cars Should I run your rockets to the stars Could you invent a world for me I need to hear a symphony If i'm to run the future You've got to let the old world go, oh oh Oh oh oh... (Take me to the source of chaos let me be the butterfly Oh my, imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry in rhyme) And you soothe yourself with the sounds you know You tune out out out the hypnotic drone Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb And you soothe your soul with the shapes you know Your word for me is fusion But is real change an illusion Could I turn this place all upside down And shake you and your fossils out If i'm to run the future You've got to let the old world go Could you invent a world for me I need to hear a symphony, oh oh Oh oh oh... (You can't predict everything with Newton like certainty, why Oh my, cause it floats around all we see with oscillating energy on high) "Sympathy" by Sleater-Kinney I know i come to you only when in need I'm not the best believer Not the most deserving But all I have all i am all i can For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him Precious baby, is your life hanging by a thread? A thread I'm standing on and praying on today All I have all I am all I can For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him I've got this curse in my hands I've got this curse in my hands All I touch fades to black Turns to dust turns to sand I've got this curse on my tongue I've got this curse on my tongue All I taste is the rust This decay in my blood I don't like the doctor with the deep long face Only wants to give us the very worst case I'd rather shout out and shake him and do anything For him I'd beg you on bended knees for him When the moment strikes It takes you by surprise and Leaves you naked in the face of death and life There is no righteousness in your darkest moment We're all equal in the face of what we're most afraid of And I'm so sorry For those who didn't make it And for the mommies who are left with their heart breaking I search for meaning in sores The sentences they might form It's the grammar of skin Peel it back, let me in Look for hope in the dark The shadow cast by your heart It's the grammar of faith No more rules, no restraint How angry I would be If you'd taken him away I wish I was wiser but instead I'll be grateful i'll say thanks For the love for the joy for the smile on his face Cause I would beg you on bended knees for him I would beg you on bended knees for him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
