Augie March-The Night Is A Blackbird
Well it tastes like a Sunday,
There should be music in the front room,
and the markets a'milling with the people in the afternoon.
And there's a question to be asked if you're drinking alone,
It's what horse were you thrown from which riderless goes on?

O it must have been a near thing,
But no novelty to you,
all the trains and the buses and the cinemas too,
Breaking down, the bloody town, all reared up like a snake,
For goodness sake don't touch it or you'll never wake up...

His father misses him, His mother misses him,
His lady dreams of kissing him,
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
It's been dark, now it's cold,
When the night falls, Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly.

Well it's cold, it's cold, it's cold and it's cold,
But you've a roof over your head and a comfortable bed,
Now I'll better, I'll be true, doing things like I ought to,
If this bird lands in the black lands of Tulla when it's due...

His father misses him, His mother misses him,
His lady dreams of kissing him,
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
It's been dark, now it's cold,
When the night falls,
Bring the sun back, Bring the sun back,
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly,
It's a blackbird, he's in the belly,
The night's a blackbird, We're in the belly.

Why Do I Feel So Sad?

Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be

Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh

By now I should know that
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

By now by now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why

By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad

We now return you to our irregularly scheduled nerdy semi-obscure lyrics;

Talking Heads-Crosseyed and Painless
Lost my shape Tryin' to act casual!
Can't stop I might end up in the hospital
Changin' my shape I feel like an accident
They're back! To explain their experience

Isn't it weird Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away That was their policy

I'm ready to leave I push the facts in front of me
Facts lost Ya facts are never what they seem to be
There's nothing there! No information left of any kind
LLLifting my head L'L'Looking for danger signs

There was a line There was a formula
Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line There was a formula
Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting

The feeling returns Whenever we close out eyes
Lifting my head looking around inside

The island of doubt It's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight Got the message from the oxygen
M'M'Making a list Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right Facts are useful in emergencies

The feeling returns Whenever we close out eyes
Lifting my head Looking around inside.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting

Bluebottle Kiss - One Way Ticket To Antartica

I guess everybody's told you
About my strange disease
Mass appeal will mould you
Anaesthetise your dreams
Mirrors are all broken now
Cause you can't face yourself
Fossils of a nations consciousness
As the brain dead reimburse themselves

I don't want to be left out
Spread the sickness all around
I don't want to climb within
Wallow in myself

Everyone wants to feel wanted
Fear the frozen lake
I feel lonely on the streets at night
Cause I love loneliness embrace
Farmyards frozen yesterday
The fox drowned in the new age
But as I kissed the eye of the storm tonight
Spit on the road with all my rage

I don't want to be left out
Spread the sickness all around
I don't want to climb within
Wallow in myself

Massive Attack - Be Thankful For What You've Got

Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the gangster lean
For what you've got

You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene
With the gangster lean ooh ooh ooh
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the Gangster lean

John Mayer - Back To You

Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I tried to forget you
I tried to stay away
But it's too late

I'm so good at forgetting
And I quit ever game I play
But forgive me, love
I can't turn and walk away

Back to you
It always comes around
Back to you
I walk with your shadow
I'm sleeping in my bed
With your silhouette

should have smiled in that picture
If it's the last that I'll see of you
It's the least that you
Could not do

Leave the light on
I'll never give up on you
Leave the light on
For me too

Back to me
I know that it comes
Back to me
Doesn't it scare you
Your will is not as strong
As it used to be

P. Diddy feat. Usher & Loon
I Need A Girl (part 1)

(i pretend they say man or guy instead of 'girl'... husband instead of 'wife' .... hehe)

[Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine oh mine
I need a girl in my life

[P. Diddy]
Yo, I'm internationally known on the microphone
I got it all, but I really need a wife at home
I don't really like the zone, never spend the night alone
I got a few, you would like to bone
But, chicks don't romance me, don't tickle my fancy
Only Tiffany, Nancy; that's not what my plans be
I need a girl that could stand me, raise me a family
Go to trips at the Lancy, trip to the Grammy's cause
Most of these girls be confusin me
I don't know if they really love me or they usin me
Here's the money, or maybe you ain't used to me
Cause you was depressed and now you abusin me
That's why I need a girl that be true to me
Know bout the game, and know how to do to me
Without a girl on my side, shit I ruin me
Forget the world, it's just you and me

[Chorus: Usher]
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to make my wife
I need a girl who's mine oh mine
I need a girl in my life
I need a girl to ride, ride, ride
I need a girl to be my wife
Nobody else cuz she's all mine
I need a girl in my life

[Loon]
Yo, now I have had a lot of women in my lifetime
But see it's not a lot of women that got the right mind
I done had pretty chicks with all the right features
And hoodrat chicks that only rock sneakers
Cellphones and beepers, and know how to treat ya
You break her heart, she'll walk out and leave ya
I find a girl, I'ma keep her
Cuz now I'm gettin money and the game gettin deeper
I want some real shit, I need somebody I can chill with
I need somebody I can build with
I need somebody I can hold tight
With the time and no full limits, no right
Anytime we together would feel so right
You the girl I been lookin for my whole life
God bless me, I'm glad I got the insight
It's cuz of you girl, now I understand life

[Chorus: Usher]

[P. Diddy]
I had a girl that would've died for me
Didnt 'preciate her so I made her cry for me
Every night she had tears in her eyes for me
Quarter K's, shorty took the whole ride for me
First we were friends then became lovers
You was more than my girl, we was like brothers
All night we would play fight under covers
Now you gone, can't love you like I really wanna
But everytime I think about your pretty smile
And how we used to drive the whole city wild
Damn I wish you would've had my child
A pretty little girl wit Diddy's smile
This shit is wild
All dem days that I reminisce
About the way I use to kiss dem pretty lips
But as long as you happy, I'ma tell you this
I love you girl and you're the one that I will always miss
I love you, yeah

[Chorus: Usher] x 3

Thirsty Merc - My Completeness

She came to me
With her arms
Open wide
Learns my style
There she stood
Like a child

With her hair
Flowing down in blue cascades
Love, laughing at her feet
Life, dancing in a masquerade
My completeness

I could say no words
None would breathe
With my heart
On my sleeve
All was clear
There she was

With her hair
Flowing down in blue cascades
Love, laughing at her feet
Life, dancing in a masquerade
My completeness

Alright
She's everything to me

She came to me
With her arms
Open wide
Learns my style
There she stood
like a child

With her ...
Hair, flowing down in blue cascades
Love, laughing at her feet
Life, dancing in a masquerade
Hair, flowing down in blue cascades
Love, laughing at her feet
Life, dancing in a masquerade
My completeness
She's everything to me, yeah

i'm unclean a libertine
and every time you vent your spleen
i seem to lose the power of speech
you're slipping slowly from my reach
you grow me like an evergreen
you've never seen the lonely me
at all

U2 - Who's gonna ride your wild horses

You're dangerous 'cause you're honest
You're dangerous, you don't know what you want
Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey

You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left in a beach
Well, you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well you stole it 'cause I needed the cash
And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge
Well you lied to me 'cause I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey hey sha la la
Hey hey sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Oh, the deeper I spin
Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah, heavens white rose
The doors you open
I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, your gypsy heart
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, and don't look back
Come on now love, don't you look back!

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna tame the heart of thee

QOTSA - Go With The Flow

She said "i'll throw myself away,
They're just photos after all"
I can't make you hang around.
I can't wash you off my skin.
Outside the frame, is what we're leaving out
You won't remember anyway
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?
It's so safe to play along
Little soldiers in a row
Falling in and out of love
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.
Do you believe it in your head?
I can go with the flow
Don't say it doesn't matter (with the flow) matter anymore
I can go with the flow (I can go)
Do you believe it in your head?

I want to know your fears and if you'll forget me next year.
When the jets go up and out will our hearts stay here.
If you could forgive me for being so brash, you could hit me or whip me.
I'd savour each lash.
No more fighting.
It is only a waste of our time because soon we'll be leaving.
Will this strength still be mine?
I'll look out for you until i die.
Until i'm gone.
I'll remember you until i die.
Until I'm gone.

guys dont laugh coz this is a country song...the lyrics are beautiful

Artist: GARTH BROOKS
Album: Double Live
Title: The River


You know a dream
Is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's
Just a vessel
That must follow
Where it goes
Trying to learn from
What's behind you
And never knowing
What's in store
Makes each day
A constant battle
Just to stay between
The shores
And
I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never
Reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times
We stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off
'Til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit
Upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
Yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

And there's bound
To be rough waters
And I know
I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord
As my captain
I can make it
Through them all
Yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never
Reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

Untouchable Face

Think I’m going for a walk now
Feel a little unsteady
Hope nobody follows me
‘cept maybe you
I could make you happy you know
If you weren’t already
I could do a lot of things
And I do

To tell the truth I prefer the worst of you
Too bad you had to have a better half
She’s not really my type
But I think you two are forever
And I hate to say it
But you’re perfect together

So fuck you
And your untouchable face
And fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am i
That I should be vying for your touch
And who am i
Bet you can’t even tell me that much

2.30 in the morning
Gas tank’ll be empty soon
Neon sign on the horizon
Rubbing elbows with the moon
Safe haven of sleeplessness
With deep fryers always on
Radio counting down
Top 20 country songs
Out on the porch the fly strip is
Waving like a flag in the wind
You know I don’t look forward
To seeing you again
You look like a photograph of yourself
Taken from far far away
And I won’t know what to do
And I won’t know what to say

So fuck you
And your untouchable face
And fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am i
That I should be vying for your touch
Said who am i
Bet you can’t even tell me that much

Must be self reflex
What was I thinking
What will I think of next
Where can I hide
In the back room there’s a lamp
That hangs over the pool table
And when the fan is on it swings
Gently form side to side
Changing constellation
Of balls as we are playing
I see you’re right and say nothing
The only thing I can think of to say is

Fuck you
And your untouchable face
Fuck you
For existing in the first place
And who am i
That I should be vying for your touch
Said who am i
Bet you can’t even tell me that much
Said who am i
Somebody tell me that
Said who am i
Somebody tell me that

Where is the Love - BEP ft.JT

What’s wrong with the world mama
People livin like they ain’t got no mama
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that’ll bring the trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorism here living
In the USA, the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate
Yeah this is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
Nigger gotta have love just to set it straight
Let your mind meditate, yeah let your soul gravitate to the love y’all

People killing people dying
Children hurt and hear them cryin
Will you practise what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
Father father father help us
Need some guidance from above
Cos people got me got me questioning
Where is the love

It just ain’t the same
Always the change
New days are strange, is the world the same?
If love and peace are so strong
Why there pieces of love that don’t belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
with ongoing sufferin as the youth die young
so ask yourself, is the lovin really gone
so I can ask myself, really what is going on
in this world that we living in
people keep on giving in
makin wrong decisions
only visions of them dividends
not respectin each other
deny thy brother
a war’s goin on but the reason’s undercover
the truth is kept secret, gets swept under the rug
if you never know truth then you never know love
where’s the love y’all (come on)
I don’t know
Where’s the truth y’all (come on)
I don’t know
And where’s the love y’all

People killin people dyin
Children hurt and hear them cryin
Will you practise what you preach
Or would you turn the other cheek
Father father father help us
Need some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As I’m getting older y’all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us following the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting them young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema

Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love we spreadin animosity
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feeling down
It’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feeling under
Gotta keep my faith in life til love is found

Now ask yourself
Where is the love
Where is the love
Father father father help us
Need some guidance from above
Cos people got me got me questioning
Where is the love

Sing with me y’all
(one world, one world)
We only got
(one world, one world)
That’s all we got
(one world, one world)
And something’s wrong with it (yeah)
Something wrong with it (yeah)
Something’s wrong with the world
Yeah we only got
(one world, one world)
That’s all we got
(one world, one world)



I had the most amazing year last year - massive highs and lows - lost a friend in a car accident, fell in love for the first time and everything in between - and this song just takes me back to all of it. it came out the week my friend died and so it has the same effect on a few of my friends - for some of them it was the first song they heard after they found out. i don't know how long it will be before i stop loving this song, trite and teenybopperish though it may sound. it might not be jeff but it means so much to me.

ARRRGH WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

REM - Everybody Hurts

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

Garbage - Stupid Girl

You pretend you're high
You pretend you're bored
You pretend you're anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in faith
Don't believe in anything
That you can't break

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted

What drives you on (What drives you on)
Can drive you mad (Can drive you mad)
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had

Don't believe in love
Don't believe in hate
Don't believe in anything
That you can't waste

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

Don't believe in fear
Don't believe in pain
Don't believe in anyone
That you can't tame

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Can't believe you fake it
Can't believe you fake it

You stupid girl.
