"Johnny & Mary" -Placebo

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy, truth from him.
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman.

But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim.

Johnny says he's willing to learn, when he decides, he's a fool.
Johnny say's he'll live any where, when he earns time to.

Mary combs her hair, says she should be use to it.

Mary always edges her bets, she never knows, what to think.
She says that he still acts, like he's being discovered.

Scared that he'll get caught, without a second thought

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath, trying to talk, sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real, sense of proportion
So she combs her hair, knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he aint lonely

Mary counts walls, says she should be use to it.

"Suds in the Bucket" --Sara Evans

She was in the back yard, they say it was a little past nine.
When her prince pulled up, a white pick up truck,
Her folks shoulda seen it comin', it was only just a matter of time.
Plenty old enough, and you can't stop love.
She stuck a note on the screen door, "sorry but I got to go".
That was all she wrote, her mamas heart was broke.
That was all she wrote, so the story goes.

Now her daddy's in the kitchen, starin' out the window.
Scratchin' and a rackin his brains.
how could 18 years just up and walk away.
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman.
Now shes gone in a blink of an eye.
She left the suds in the bucket
and the clothes hangin' out on the line.

NOw don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn.
Nothin' quite like this had happened here before.
Well he mudt have been a smooth talking son of a gun.
For sucha grounded girl, to just up and run.
course you can't fence time, and you can't stop love.

Now her daddy's in the kitchen, starin' out the window.
Scratchin' and a rackin his brains.
how could 18 years just up and walk away.
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman.
Now shes gone in a blink of an eye.
She left the suds in the bucket
and the clothes hangin' out on the line.

Now all the biddy's in the beauty shop gossip goin' non-stop.
Sippin' on pink lemonade.
How could 18 years just up and walk away.
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman.
Now she's gone in a blink of an eye.
She left the suds in the bucket
and the clothes hangin' out on the line.

She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window.
And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight.
How could 18 years just up and walk away.
Our little pony-tailed girl growed up to be a woman.
Now she's gone in a blink of an eye.
She left the suds in the bucket
and the clothes hangin' out on the line.

"[Untitled]"

[Spoken]
We held hands on the last night on earth.
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves.
It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated
along the bottom of the river.
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
and the shattered seasons lay,
and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease.
In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide.
We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes
of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress.
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop.
The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime.
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
if you would accompany me in a quick fall,
but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two.
I rode alone.
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty,
bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence.
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city.
The sun was stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines.
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched
into the earth like a message.

Our Lady Peace
Story About A Girl

Story 'bout a girl
Story 'bout the world

Suddenly, something I'm not
You're something that you bought
Was it something I said
My friend
Little girl are you tripping on this?
Are you tripping all over it?
You better come up for air
Story about a girl
My story about the world, my

And you waking up slowly
nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promised you one thing
I promised I'll always, always
Be there

Baby girl, stand up and fight
This is not some paradise
Oh it's just where we live
Finally, you think you're alright
Then it eats you up alive
You better get used to it
A story about a girl
My story 'bout the world, my

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
And are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are

I know you're stuck inside your head
You're low, you better get used to it
I know the feeling has to end
You're strong, it sucks you in again
And you're lost, you can't make any sense
And this world, it tears you limb from limb
And hold on, you're nothing but the best

Are you waking up slowly
Nothing but lonely
Are you waking up
Holding, holding your breath
Are you looking for something
I promise you one thing
I promise I'll always, always
Be there

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are

With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things
You are

 

[IcarusFell]

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

-Rufus Wainwright, form the Song "Hallelujah"

 

[HolyPlace]

Although I have never heard Placebo's version, I am ever so slightly taken aback that this particular Robert Palmer tune was remade.

Although I have never heard Placebo's version, I am ever so slightly taken aback that this particular Robert Palmer tune was remade.

Actually..their cover is done tastefully. You should check it out when you have the chance!

 

[ocean floor]

yeah they did..its a great song

that they did..it totally made me cry..so did the music video to this song:

And you don't know what you're looking for, but you don't want to no more
And you don't know what you're waiting for, but you don't want to no more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on, when you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better then you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over, hold on

"Hold On" - Good Charlotte

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

And we stare each other down
Like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness
And hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.
Is love really the tragedy the way you
Might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers
Still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

[Chorus:]
All these mixed emotions we
Keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
Keep locked away from all the world

Your kisses are like pearls,
So different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away
And love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

Well I could be the tired joker
Pour my heart to get you in
Sacrifice my happiness
Just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

[Chorus]

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
That once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you

[Repeat chorus]


Savage Garden- Tears of Pearls

 

[IcarusFell]

Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on

But they’re all bold as love, yes, they’re all bold as love
Yeah, they’re all bold as love
Just ask the axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and
Ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact I’m trying to say it’s frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

 

[VanillaRose]

"Do you have the time to listen to me whine. About everything and nothing all I want!" -Basket Case, Greenday

 

[ocean floor]

Iris
The Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
and sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

 

[Aria_Joy87]

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) - Green Day

 

[Aria_Joy87]

when the sun came up
we were sleeping in
sunk inside our blankets
sprawled across the bed
and we were dreaming

there are moments when
i know it and
the world revolves around us
and we're keeping it
keeping it all going
this delicate balance
vulnerable all knowing

Chorus
(sing like you think no one's listening)
you would kill for this
just a little bit
just a little bit
you would kill for this
(sing like you think no one's listening)
you would kill for this
just a little bit
just a little bit
you would....

sing me something soft
sad and delicate
or loud and out of key
sing me anything

we're glad for what we've got
done with what we've lost
our whole lives laid out
right in front of us

Chorus

sing me something soft
sad and delicate
or loud and out of key
sing me anything

Existentialism on Prom Night - Straylight Run

 

[Trifixion]

"Are you born from the abyss, and have you sought the creed that drape the shadows of your own thoughts; is you heart mesmerized by the fire that burns forever more, and do the secrets from the flames hold the mysteries over which you preside?...."

DIMMU BORGIR="Cataclysm Children"

 

[WhenFinallySetFree777]

The ultimate summer anthem: Close to Home - The Get-Up Kids

Summer swallowed us whole
We waited for you to come around
With every word you wrote down,
We read it over to know
Would they believe in us now?
There's no shame like no
Sound from souces hits close to home
Everything that we've found says "make your own destiny"
But you're unaware
That you should be scared
Maybe you'll learn from mistakes that we make
We're not waiting forever
We know you'll never be there
We're not waiting forever,
But if you get out
We'll see you there
You're not awake as I'm aware (woo!)
Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong
There's been a misunderstanding we've had all along
You can read about it when we're gone

Existentialism on Prom Night - Straylight Run

I've talked to several people who've said this song is awesome, but I have got to hear it...I think I'm gonna have to buy or download some of this group's schtuff.

 

[gizmo03]

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.


The Broken Road- Rascal Flatts.... I absolutely love this song, everytime I hear it, it reminds me of everything I have dealt with to get to where I am now and things with Nick.

I haven't had much opportunity to hear their other stuff, but from what I understand, they're a fairly new band. I only found this song because the music video popped up on my station on Launchcast. Now I'm in love with it. lol Definitely worth checking out.
