American Baby - Dave Matthews Band

If these walls came crumblin' down
Fell so hard, to make us lose our faith
From what's left you'd figure it out
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

Nobody's laughing now
God's grace lost and the devil is proud
But I've been walking for a thousand miles
One last time, I could see you smile
I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope, I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You lift me up and always will
I see you in life
Hope I don't get left behind

I (I) hold (hold) on (on) to you
You bring me hope,
I'll see you soon
And if I don't see you
I'm afraid we've lost the way

Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
I hope you
Stay, beautiful baby
I hope you
Stay, American baby
American baby

Nobody's laughing now
But you could always make me laugh out loud

 

[TheBatman]

We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town
We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town

Through the night we were waiting
For a sign maybe rendered in the darkened sky
Drawn by imaginary lines connecting radiant points of light
Please don't go
Cause you showed up with your hair down I might not sleep tonight

We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town
We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town

Please don't go
Cause you showed up with your hair down I might not sleep tonight

We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town
We were walking downtown, yeah, my favorite part of town

Walking Downtown - Copeland. Good call, Batman.

Dream To Make Believe - Armor For Sleep

It's funny how
Things work out
The ones we need
Don't know we're there
If I were sand
And you were oceans
The moon would be
Why you're pulled to me

I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
The truth that you can never be
The one person that won't ever forget me

I hope that dreams
Come when I die
So we can talk
I won't wake up
I'll ask you how
Your life worked out
I'll never know
That I'm just dreaming

I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
The truth that you can never be
The one person that won't ever forget me

Let me sleep some more

The Doors - People Are Strange

People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange x3
People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange x3
When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange x3

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah (original by Leonard Cohen)

I heard there was a secret chord
That david played and it pleased the lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, maybe I’ve been here before
I’ve seen this room and I’ve walked this floor
I used to live with leonard before I knew ya
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

There was a time when you let me know
What’s really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath you drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

And maybe there’s a God above
But all I’ve ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Well it’s not a cry that you hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, halle...
It’s not what you’re told
It’s not her face
It’s not his touch
In the room you both share
Where he’s gone when he loved
When your time and your memory fills your dreams
When you’re honest and together
Together no more
No more
Hallelujah, until you’re nothing
Hallelujah, baby, until she’s everywhere
Hallelujah, until together you are somewhere I’d lost
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it’s just because I didn’t know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say ’no, this can’t happen to me,’
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn’t know him at all
You didn’t know him at all, oh, you didn’t know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it’s over... it’s over

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you’re on my mind so you never know

When I’m broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he’s done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So I’ll wait for you... and I’ll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should’ve come over
’cause it’s not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe I’m just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you should’ve come over
’cause it’s not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And I’m much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I’ve done
Sweet lover, you should’ve come over
Oh, love well I’m waiting for you

Lover, you should’ve come over
’cause it’s not too late

David Sylvian - Forbidden Colours

The wounds on your hands never seem to heal
I thought all I needed was to believe

Here am i, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or the beat of my heart?
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes

Senseless years thunder by
Millions are willing to give their lives for you
Does nothing live on?

Learning to cope with feelings aroused in me
My hands in the soil, buried inside of myself

My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again


I'll go walking in circles
While doubting the very ground beneath me
Trying to show unquestioning faith in everything

Here am i, a lifetime away from you
The blood of Christ, or a change of heart?

My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes
My love wears forbidden colours
My life believes in you once again

Japan - Ghosts

[size=-1]When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well, I ought to leave
But the rain it never stops
And I've no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder than before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well, I'm feeling nervous
Now I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes, but leads nowhere[/size]

 

[london boy]

Japan - Nightporter

Could I ever explain
This feeling that lingers on
The fear in my heart
That keeps telling me
Which way to turn

We'll wander again
Our clothes they are wet
We shy from the rain
Longing to touch
All the places we know we can hide
The width of a room
That could hold so much pleasure inside

Chorus :
Here I am
Alone again
A quiet town
Where life begins
Here I am
Just wondering
Where nightporters go
Nightporters go

I'll watch for a sign
And if I should ever again cross your mind
I'll sit in my room
And wait until nightlife begins
And catching my breath
We'll both brave the weather again

londonboy, I think I've already posted "Hallelujah." It's one of my favorite songs ever, and I *love* Jeff Buckley.

Megaherz - Moment
Translation Jeremy Williams (megaherz.com)
When you flee you're not gone
When you stay you're not there
Among a thousand people
you're well hidden
Among a thousand people
set in motion

Billions of eyes see the world
A billion times has truth been found
Among a thousand people
you're well hidden
Among a thousand people
disguised a thousandfold

It's all just a moment *
in the blink of an eye

When you flee
you might come back
When you stay
you're often not there
From a thousand versions
you become one piece
Form a thousand versions
assembled
Billions of mouths whisper to the world
A billion times has truth been found
Behind a thousand mirrors
infinitely distorted
Behind a thousand mirrors
you're hidden well
Billions of feet walk along this world
A billion times have ways been made
Among a thousand streets
A thousand times chosen
A thousand journeys that you put aside

* This is a play on words as the German word for "moment" and "blink of an eye" is the same.

 

[TheBatman]

Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that whole in your life
You're not thinking about tomorrow
Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees

Thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scattered like ice from the spoon
It was your womb


Comin down the world turned over
Angels fall without you there
I go on as you get colder
Are you someone's prayer?


Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon

Bedshaped
by Keane



Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of your old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried altogether
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do

Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know

Stereophonics - Handbags And Gladrags

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side
Ever seen a young girl growing old
trying to make herself a bride


So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you


Once I was a young man
and all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
and you bought everything in style


So once you think you're in you're out
'cause you don't mean a single thing without
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you


Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake them all in a pie


They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you


They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
the handbags and the gladrags
that your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you


(glad ya liked the keane lyrics its a top song)

James Blunt - You're Beautiful

My life is brilliant.My love is pure.I saw an angel.Of that I'm sure.She smiled at me on the subway.She was with another man.But I won't lose no sleep on that,'Cause I've got a plan.You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.I saw you face in a crowded place,And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.Yeah, she caught my eye,As we walked on by.She could see from my face that I was,flying high,And I don't think that I'll see her again,But we shared a moment that will last till the end.You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.I saw you face in a crowded place,And I don't know what to do,'Cause I'll never be with you.You're beautiful. You're beautiful.You're beautiful, it's true.There must be an angel with a smile on her face,When she thought up that I should be with you.But it's time to face the truth,I will never be with you.
