all thats good in modern life
all thats ever been worthwhile
all thats good in modern life
all thats ever been worthwhile

has not come from inside
ive let it in from the outside
has not come from inside
ive let it in from the outside

insides an empty place
my insides an empty place
all it does is sit n wait
my insides an empty place

cannot see the outside
cept for the sound of whats comin
cannot see the outside
cept for the sound of whats comin

nerves n faith n fear
r together here
make themselves depend
n pray the good is here

la la la la la la........

when that fat old sun in the sky is fallin
summer evenin birds r callin
summer sunday n a year
the sound of music in my ears

distant bells
new mown grass smells so sweet
by the river holdin hands
roll me up n lay me down

n if u see
dont makes a sound
pick ur feet up off the ground
n if u hear
as the warm nite falls
the silver sound from a tongue so strange
sing to me
sing to me

when that fat old sun in the sky is fallin
summer evenin birds r callin
childrens laffter in my ears
the last of sunlite disappears

n if u see
dont make a sound
pick ur feet up off the ground
n if u hear
as the warm nite falls
the silver sound from a tongue so strange
sing to me
sing to me

when that fat old sun........

(long guitar solo)

 

[alasdair]

r u ok?
u ve been shot in the head
n im holdin ur brains
the old woman said
so i drink in the shadows
of an evenin sky
see nuthin at all

the stars look so special
the snow looks so old
a frail form is driftin
beyond the orcs zone
turn to question the mountain
when pigs can fly
its nuthin at all

i praise to u
nuthin ever goes away
i praise to u
nuthin ever goes
i praise to u

i praise to u
nuthin ever goes away
i praise to u
nuthin ever goes
i praise to u
nuthin ever goes away
i praise to u
nuthin ever goes
nuthin ever goes
nuthin

Soak Up the Sun
Sheryl Crow

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV

I don't have digital
I don't have diddlysquat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

CHORUS
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell them that I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame, I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do

CHORUS

I'm gonna soak up the sun while it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite
But I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride
But, baby, I'm the one who has the key

Everytime I turn around, I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you that makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

CHORUS

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got my 45 on so I can rock on...

How you been healing
Now that we cannot win or lose
So how you been keeping
It doesn't matter whose dads richest now
How you been sleeping
From the top bunks further to fall down

You turned that around on me

What you been doing
Still make the world a better place
Never stopped rueing
Making those tears fall down your face
Making you suffer
Wondering how you got your scars
And only in hindsight
I wish I had taken you in my arms

us ppl
r just poems
were 90% metaphor
with a leanness of meaning approachin hyper distilation
n once upon a time we were moonshine
rushin down the throat of a giraffe
yes...
rushin down the long hall despite what the pa announcement says
yes....
rushin down the long hall
down the long stairs
in the buildin so tall........
that it will always be there........
its part of a pair
there on the bow of noahs ark
the most prestigious couple just kickin back parked
against a perectly blue sky
in a mornin beatific in its indian summers breeze
the day that america fell to its knees
after struttin around for a century without sayin thank u
or please
n the shock was subsonic
n the smoke was deafenin
between the setup n the punchline
cos we were all on time......for work that day
we all boarded that plane for it to fly
n then while the fires were ragin
we all climbed up on the windowsill n then we all held hands
n jumped into the sky
n everybody looked up when they heard the first blast
n every dumb action movie was summarily surpassed
n the exodus uptown by foot ot motorcar
looked more like war.....then anythin ive seen so far
so far.........so far..........so far..............so fierce
n ingenious
a poetic spectre so far gone
that every jack ass newscaster was struck dumb
n stumblin over...oh my God!!!! n this is unbelievable!!!
n on n on n i ll tell u what
while were at it u can keep the pentagon
u can keep the propaganda
u can keep each n every tv
thats been tryin to convince me
to participate in some frat school punks plan to perpetuate retribution........
perpetuate retribution
even as the blue toxic smoke of our lesson in retribution
is still hangin in the air
n theres ash on our shoes
n theres ash in our hair
n theres a fine silt on every mantle
from hells kitchen to brooklyn
n the streets r full of stories n twists of near misses
n soon every open bar is crammed to the rafters
with tales of narrowly averted disasters
n the whisky is flowin like never before
as all over the country
folks just shake their heads..........
n pour

so heres a toast to all the folks that live in palastine
afghanastan
iraq
el savador
heres a toast to all the folks livin on the pine ridge reservation
under the stone cold gaze of mount rushmore
heres a toast to all those nurses n doctors
who daily provide women with a choice
who stare down a threat the size of oklahoma city
just to listen to a young womans voice
heres a toast to all those folks on death row rite now
awaitin the executioners guillotine
who r shackled there with dread
n can only escape into their head
to find peace
in the form of a dream
peace
in a form of a dream
peace.......

cos take away our playstations
n we r a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office in that phoney election
i mean
it dont take a weather man to look around n see the weather
jeb said he d deliver florida n folks did he ever
n we hold these truths to be self evident
#1....GEORGE W. BUSH IS NOT PRESIDENT
#2....AMERICA IS NOT A TRUE DEMOCRACY
n #3...THE MEDIA IS NOT FOOLIN ME
cos i am a poem heatin hyper distillation
n i got no room for a lie so verbose
yes im lookin out over my whole human family
n im raisin my glass in a toast
heres to our last drink of fossil fuels
may we vow
to get off
of this soft
shoo away the swarm of commuter planes
find that train ticket we lost
cos once upon a time
the line followed the river
n peeked into all the backyards
n all the laundry was wavin
n the graffiti was teasin
from brick walls n bridges
we were rollin over ridges
thru valleys
under stars
i dream of tourin like duke ellington
in my own railroad car
yeh.....
i dream of waitin on the tall long wooden benches
in a grand station aglow with grace
n then standin out on the platform n feelin the air
the air.....the air on my face
give back the nite
its distant whistle
give the darkness back its soul
give the big war companies the finger finally
n relearn how to rock n roll
yes the lessons r all around us
n the truth is waitin there
its time to pick thru the rubble
clean the streets
n clear the air
get our government to pull its big dick out of the sand
of someone elses desert
put it back in its pants
put the hypocritical chants of freedom forever
cos one mornin when one lone phone rang
in 2001
at 10 after 9 on 911
cos thats the number we all call
when that old phone rang
rite off the wall
rite off our desk
n down the long hall
down the long stairs
in the bulidin so tall
that the whole world turned
just to watch it fall

while were at it
remember the first time around?
the bomb?
the rider truck?
the parkin garage?
the princess that didnt even feel the pea?
remember jokin around in our apartment on avenue d?
can u imagine how many paper coffee cups would have to change their design
followin a fantastical reversal of new yorks skyline?
it was a joke
at the time
n that was just a few years ago
so
let the record show
that the fbi who was all over that case
that the plot was obvious n in everybodys face
scopin that scene
religiously
the cia
or is it
kgb?
commitin countless crimes against humanity
with this kind of eventuality
as its excuse for abuse
after extensive abuse
n they didnt have a clue
look
another window to see thru
way up here
on the 104th floor
look
another key
another door
10% literal
90% metaphor
3000 some poems
diguised as ppl
on an almost too perfect day
must be more then pawns
in some *******s passion play
so now its ur job
n my job
to make it that way
to make sure they didnt die
in vain
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........

baby listen

hear the train?

[rambot]

Today was another day full of dread
But I never said I was affraid
Cause dread and fear should not be confused
by dread i'm inspired, by fear i'm amused.

-Bonnie Prince Billy "Another day full of dread"

I've heard it once, but it don't make sense
to put a wall where you shoulda put a fence
I've heard it twice, that you should not put me
where you put a fridge or a couch or a TV

Joel Plaskett (song?/?)

The former being my FAVORITE lyrics...the latter being the most clever lyrics i know

runnin to the station holdin hands
now the volcano is flowin red
somethin there will change us into sand

now we ll be forever holdin hands
lava n tephra will form our bed
now the royal flames of pompeii bless
all our senses
all our senses
all our senses

u were under the impression
that when u were walkin forwards
that u d end up further onward
but things arent quite that simple

u got altered information
u were told to not take chances
u missed out on new dances
now ur losin all ur dimples

my jackets gonna be cut slim n checked
maybe a touch of seersucker n an open neck
i ride a gs scooter with my hair cut neat
i wear my wartime coat in the wind n sleet

luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive had enuff of livin
ive had enuff of dyin
ive had enuff of smilin
ive had enuff of cryin
ive taken all the high roads
ive squandered n ive saved
ive had enuff of childhood
ive had enuff of graves

get a job n fite to keep it
strike out to reach a mountain
be so nice on the outside
but inside keep ambition

dont cry because u hunt them
hunt them first they ll luv u
theres a milllionaire above u
n ur under his suspicion

my jackets gonna be cut slim n checked
maybe a touch of seersucker n an open neck
i ride a gs scooter with my hair cut neat
i wear my wartime coat in the wind n sleet

luv
rain on me
rain on me
luv
rain on me
luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvv!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive had enuff of dancehalls

every year is the same
n i feel it again
im a loser
no chance to win
leafs start fallin
comedown is callin
loneliness starts sinkin in
but im one
i am one
n i can see
that this is me
n i will be
u ll all see
im the one

where do u get
those blue blue jeans?
faded patched secret
so tight
where do u get
that walk?
oh so lean
ur shirt n ur shoes
just rite
but im one
i am one
n i can see
that this is me
n i will be
u ll all see
im the one

i gotta gibson
without a case
but i cant get that even tanned look on my face
ill fitting clothes
n i blend in the crowd
fingers so clumsy
voice too loud
but im one
i am one
n i can see
that this is me
n i will be
u ll all see
im the one

im the one
im the one

 

[hardcoreGL1229]

I never knew
I never knew that everything
Was falling through
That everyone I knew
Was waiting on a queue
To turn and run
When all I needed was the truth

But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to
Nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way
Than stay and see
The smoke and who's still
Standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger
I could disengage
Say that we agree
And then never change
Soften a bit
Until we all just get along

But that's disregard
You find another friend
And you discard
As you lose the argument
In a cable car
Hanging above
As the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly
I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part
That don't last
I'm losing you
And its effortless

Without a sound
We lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted
To bring it down
I won't let it go down
'Till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Hang on to the world
As it spins around
Just don't let the spin get you down
Things are moving so fast
Hold on tight and you will last
Keep your self respect
Your womanly pride
Get yourself in gear
Keep your stride, mm-hmm
Never mind your fears
Brighter days will soon be here
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free, yes

Keep on walking tall
Hold your head up high
Lay your dreams right up to the sky, oh yes
Sing your greatest song, mm-hmm
And you'll keep growing, growing on
Take it from me
Someday we'll all be free
Oh, oh, I said just wait and see
Someday we'll all be free
So just you keep walking
And you take it from me
Someday
Someday
You and me
We'll all be. . .
Free. . .

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I said you can believe me
'Cause I'm gonna
You're gonna
I'm gonna
We're gonna
We're gonna
Be free, yeah
Oh oh
Yeah, ooh


one of my favourite songs in the whole wide world hehe

inspires me to keep on movin when im feelin down

I’m happy just because I found out I am really no one

 

[cobaltburrito]

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long, where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at, and far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure that there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence, say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear, and there's nowhen that I know
And I can't stand forever
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy is spent at last, and my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons, and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on, it's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And men sliding into hell
Oh please, don't let these shakes go on.
