[dancin' moosen]

Take these hands, teach them what to carry
Take these hands, don't make a fist
Take this mouth, so quick to criticize
Take this mouth, give it a kiss

-my favorite verse from "Yahweh" (U2)

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

Lonestar- Amazed

Every time our eyes meet
This feelin' inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side, forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
You know it feels like the first time
Every timeI want to spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps gettin' better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side, forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

Damien Rice

Cold Water


Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

Love one's daughter
Allow me that
And I can't let go of your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

[chanting] Cold, cold water surrounds me now
And all I've got is your hand
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Lord, can you hear me now?
Or am I lost?

The World You Love - Jimmy Eat World

I got a story it's almost finished
All i need is someone to tell it too
Maybe, that's you

Our time is borrowed and spent too freely
Every minute i have needs to be made up
But how?
I'm looking for a nice way to say
I'm out
I want out

I fall asleep with my friends around me
Only place I know I feel safe
I'm gonna call this home

The open road is still miles away
Ain't nothing serious
We still have our fun
Oh we had it once

But windows open and close
That's just how it goes

Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love, forever gone
We're only just as happy
As everyone else seems to think we are

I'm in love with the ordinary
I need a simple space
To rest my head
And everything gets clear
Well I'm a little ashamed for asking
But just a little helps
It gets me straight again
Helps me get over it

It might seem like a dream
But it's real to me

Don't it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love, forever gone
We're only just as happy
As everyone else seems to think we are

You should see the canals are freezing
You should see me high
You should just be here
Be with me here
It doesn't seem there's hope for me
I let you down
But I won't give in now
Not for any amount

"I Do" - Placebo


I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
Where logic cannot intervene
I wanna take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I wanna fall in love with you
So how do we begin ?

I wanna be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I wanna wear my face like you
Shiseido MAC and Maybelline
I wanna paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

I wanna be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll kick back as men flirt with you
Till jealously I'll stay in you
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

The question is do you ?

 

[Alecto]

Artist- Chumbawamba
Song- Mary Mary

No virgin me
For I have sinned
I sold my soul
For sex and gin
Go call a priest
All meek and mild
And tell him, 'Mary
Is no more a child.'

It's raining stones
It's raining bile
From the luxury
Of your denial
So I don't deny
I don't make do
I'll press alarms
Place bets on truth

I'm so up and down
And I love what's not allowed
I was lost, now I see:
And now I'm growing old
disgracefully

Whatever happened to Mary?

I'll spit on floors
And do more drugs
Burn every bill
Get drunk on love
Wear next to nothing
In the pouring rain
Be a bad example
And do it all again

I'll be uncareful
I'll cause such scenes
And I'll never talk
Of used-to-be's
Tattoo my face
I won't go grey
Be a dancing queen
I'm growing old disgracefully

I'm so up and down
And I love what's not allowed
I was lost, now I see:
And now I'm growing old
disgracefully

Whatever happened to Mary?

Mary, Mary
Quite contrary

VICTIM (by Suburban Panic)



I saw him on the TV, he was only nine.
Caught two bullets in the head.
An innocent kid,
Gunned down in a drive-by.
He wasn’t a pimp or a dealer,
It was wrong place at the wrong time.
But does that mean that he should’ve died?
Tonight there’s another mother mourning.

Just another victim (victim).
A Forgotten member of society.
Nothing more than a number on a list.
Just another victim, did he even exist?

Jane Doe was only ten when they found her.
Face beaten in no identification.
The killer got away because nobody cared.
Another stat, the numbers can never
Reflect the horror of what was done.
Justice will never come.
An unmarked grave, an unwept death.
Can a soul this lost ever find rest?

Just another victim (victim).
A Forgotten member of society.
Nothing more than a number on a list.
Just another victim, did she even exist?

Did she even exist?

Milk carton pictures (victims).
Forgotten, misplaced by society.
Social security number.
They’re just stats did they ever exist?

When We Dance - Sting

If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town
I'd change my name

When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul's salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

I'm still in love with you
(I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give)

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at Heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken
Heaven's no longer above
And Hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love

He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife

When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way

(I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me, baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night)

 

[SatKat]

Where do bad folks go when they die?
they don't go to heaven where the angels fly...
They go to a lake of fire and fry...
won't see 'em again 'till the fourth of July...

I think that some Nirvana song that i don't remember the title of..

Roxy Music - A Song For Europe

Here as I sit
At this empty cafe
Thinking of you

I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

Though the world
Is my oyster
It's only a shell
Full of memories
And here by the Seine
Notre-Dame casts
A long lonely shadow

Now -
Only sorrow
No tomorrow
There's no today for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday

These cities may change
But there always remains
My obsession

Through silken waters
My gondola glides
And the bridge - it sighs ...

I remember
All those moments
Lost in wonder
That we'll never
Find again

There's no more time for us
Nothing is there
For us to share
But yesterday

Ecce momenta
Illa mirabilia
Quae captabit
In aeternum
Memor
Modo dolores
Sunt in dies
Non est reliquum
Vero tantum
Comminicamus
Perdita

Tous ces moments
Perdus dans l`enchantement
Qui ne reviendront
Jamais
Pas d'aujourd'hui pour nous
Pour nous il n'y a rien
A partager
Sauf le passé

Cautioners - Jimmy Eat World

The time I would spend
With pictures I would not send
I watched you go from left to right
I follow you all night
Across my blinds
I'm making my peace
Making it with distance
Maybe that's a big mistake
You know I'm thinking of you
I miss you
You'll change your mind come Monday
And turn your back on me
Take your steps away with hesitance
Take your steps away from me

Falco - Rock Me Amadeus (translated from German)

He was a punk
and he lived
in the big city
In all of Vienna
everyone knows
he was a man of action
He was in debt
because he drank and loved all women
Each shouted
Come and rock me Amadeus

He had viennese blood
He was popular
He war number one
Exactly, that was his flair
He never had enough
It was the sound of music
Everyone shouts
Come and rock me Amadeus

It was around nineteen-eighty
It began in Vienna
No plastic money anymore
The banks ruined him
Where the debt came from
was well-known to everybody
He was a man of the ladies
Women loved his funk
He was a superstar
He was popular
He was emotional
Exactly, that was his flair
He was a virtuoso
He was a rock-idol
Everyone shouts
Come and rock me Amadeus

It was too hot for him
It was in Vienna
It was too hot
It was in Vienna

 

[alasdair]

well when im lyin in my bed at night
i dont wanna grow up
nuthin ever seems 2 turn out right
i dont wanna grow up
how do u move in a world of fog
thats always changing things
makes me wish that i could be a dog
when i see the price that u pay
i dont wanna grow up
i dont ever wanna be that way
i dont wanna grow up
seems like folks turn into things theyd never want
the only thing 2 live 4 is today
im gonna put a hole into my t.v. set
i dont wanna grow up
open up the medicine chest
i dont wanna grow up
i dont wanna 2 have 2 shout it out
i dont wanna be filled with doubt
i dont wanna be a good boy scout
i dont wanna have 2 learn 2 count
i dont wanna have the biggest amount
i dont wanna grow up
well when i see my parents fight
i dont wanna grow up
they all go out and drinking all night
i dont wanna grow up
id rather stay here in my room
nuthin out there but sad and gloom
i dont wanna live in a big old tomb
on grand street
when i see the 5 o clock news
i dont wanna grow up
comb their hair and shine their shoes
i dont wanna grow up
stay around in my old hometown
i dont wanna put no money down
i dont wanna get me a big old loan
work them fingers 2 the bone
i dont wanna float a broom
fall in love and get married then boom
how the hell did it get here so soon?
i dont wanna grow up

Tom Waits- I dont wanna grow up

 

[alasdair]

got a friend in B.C.

and i wanna buy a motorcycle
and i wanna cut up 2 some farm
somewhere in this cows**t county
where the hills r round and green
the hills r round n green

late nights make me really tired
all this jamming gives me a headache

papa only watches hockey games
this suburb rocks with the Eddie Van Wailers
God saves the queen

and he said that he was confident and keen
and he said that Jacques Plante didnt die

cos he does it the Canadian way

he learned how 2 play in Kelvington S-A-S-K hey hey

Landed - Ben Folds

We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was

We moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still
I was still in love

'Til I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumblin' down
And it's bye bye, goodbye, I tried
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flyin' high all night

So come pick me up
I've landed

The daily dramas
She made from nothin'
So nothin' ever made them right

She liked to push me
And talk me back down
'Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way,
I guess I was

When I opened my eyes my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumblin' down
And it's bye bye, goodbye, I tried
Draggin' the sea of her troubled mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singin' bye bye, goodbye, I tried

If you wrote me off
I'd understand it
'Cause I've been on
Some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed

And you will be so
Happy to know
That I've come alone
It's over

When I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumblin' down
And it was bye bye, goodbye, I tried
Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's ok to call
And I will answer for myself

Come pick me up
Come pick me up
I've landed

Best piano I've heard on anything since Elton John was a newly risen star - and I wasn't even alive then!

Execution By Christmas Lights - Flickerstick

Conjure up what you may find
Cause it's soon; I can see you behind me
Count all your 12-step tries
And if the consequence could speak out loud
I can only pick up vibrations
So get in line
And fortify
See, it's just time to you're out
And scream from the top of the moon
One more time

I'm pulling out the sting of control
Washing your hands from the methadone
Like a time bomb on reset
You see, the execution by x-mas lights
Seems to have its own irony

So get in line
And fortify
Take all of your tiny wishes
And dump them all overboard
With me tonight

So drop that cherry bomb
And leave the helmet of lies
There's a new rush that is waiting to meet you tonight
But I may choose to leave at once
When there's no one begging me to come around
Begging me to come around

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

Dave Matthews Band- Grey Street

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey

 

[Dying2Live4Christ]

Push- Matchbox Twenty
She said I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don’t know if I’ve ever really been loved
By the hand that’s touched me, well I feel like something gonna give
And I’m a little bit angry, well

This ain’t over, no not here, not while I still need you
Around
You don’t owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good
(chorus)
I wanna push you around, I will, I will
I wanna push you down, I will, I will
I wanna take you for granted(2x)
I will

She said I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is
Gonna hurt ya
And I don’t why you couldn’t just stay with me
You couldn’t stand to be near me
When my face don’t seem to want to shine cuz it’s a little bit dirty well

Don’t just stand there, say nice things to me
I’ve been cheated I’ve been wronged, and you
You don’t know me, I can’t change
I won’t do anything at all
(chorus)
Oh but don’t bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so
Crazy, crazy
Don’t rush this baby(2x)
(chorus)
