umm, it's sort of from an episode of buffy... where faith has taken buffy's body and is 'trying it out' and there's this absolutely hilarious scene where she's making all these faces (ie: those ones) and being all "you can't do that! it's naughty!"

wow, i explained that -too- much...

ARTIST: Patty Griffin
SONG: Forgiveness
ALBUM: Living With Ghosts

We are swimming with the snakes
At the bottom of the well
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell
But we are not snakes and what's more
We never will be
And if we stay swimming here forever we will
Never be free

I heard them ringing the bells
In heaven and hell
They got a secret
They're getting ready to tell
It's falling from the sky
Calling from the graves
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Open your eyes, boy, I think we are saved
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We've already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness

We are calling for him tonight on this
Thin phone line
As usual we're having ourselves one
hell of a time
And the planes keep flying right over our heads
No matter how lond we shout
"Hey, hey, hey !"
And we keep waving and waving
Our arms in the air
But we're all tired out

I heard somebody say
Today's the day
A big old hurricaine
Is blowing our way
Knocking over the buildings
Killing all the light
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Open your eyes, boy, we made it through the night
Let's take a walk on the bridge
Right over this mess
Don't need to tell me a thing, baby
We've already confessed
And I raised my voice to the air
And we were blessed
Everybody needs a little forgiveness
Everybody needs a little forgiveness

i could ride you at a gallop until your knees buckled and your eyes rolled back in your head, and still you'd beg me to hurt you just that little bit more. but you know why i don't?
because... it's... wrong

hahaha i have that entire speech memorised... i suck
it gives me the greatest mental images of spike sex... oh wow

anyway... lyrics...

pedro the lion - bad diary days

we barely ever fight; she knows that i love her
at first we made it every night but i don't want to bug her about it
she just has a funny way of loving me...

a pair of ticket stubs in her desk of a movie i've never seen
i probably shouldn't ask; it sounds so accusing
she must have forgot to mention a girl's night out


the breakfast cereal talked more than we did all day long
i asked her for a walk, but she had to be on her way
so i told her that i knew she'd been stepping out

she swore that she could explain
she swore that it would not happen again
she swore that she could explain
we both knew her words were in vain

Sometimes by Pearl Jam
Large fingers pushin' paint
Your God and you got big hands
The colors blend
The challenges you give man

Seek my part
Devote myself
My small self
Like a book amongst
The many on the shelf

Sometimes I know
Sometimes I rise
Sometimes I fall
Sometimes I don't
Sometimes I cringe
Sometimes I live
Sometimes I walk
Sometimes I kneel
Sometimes I speak of nothing at all
Sometimes I reach to myself...here God

Lukin by Pearl Jam
Drive down the street
Can't find the keys to my own fuckin' home
I'll take a walk so I can curse my ass for being dumb
I'll make a right after the arches stinking grease and bone
Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog
I'm gone to Lukins
I've got a spot at Lukins
I knock the door at Lukins
Open the fridge
Now I know life is worth
I found the key but I returned to find an open door
Some fuckin' freak who claims I fathered by rape her own son
I find my wife I call the cops this days works never done
The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fuckin' gun

Pretty Noose by Soundgarden

I caught the moon today
Pick it up
And throw it away all right
I got the perfect steal
A cleaner love
With a dirty feel all right
Fallout and take the bait
Eat the fruit
And kiss the snake goodnight

Common ruse dirty face
Pretty noose is pretty hate
And I don't like
What you got me hanging from

Let your motor race
Pick it up
And get this mother gone
Out from and far away
The wooden snake
This thing has got me on

Diamond rope silver chain
Pretty noose is a pretty pain
And I don't like
What you got me hanging from

I don't care what you got
I don't care what you need
I don't want anything
And I don't like what
You got me hanging from


Music: Cornell
Lyrics: Cornell
and that concludes the best song in the world.

The Clash-Lost In The Supermarket
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

CHORUS

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

CHORUS

And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost

heyyyyyyy nice!!!!
I'm in a radiohead phase. Hence,
Radiohead - How to disappear completely

That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....

inspired by prettynoose's sig pic
fugazi - shut the door
I break the surface so I can breathe
I close my eyes so I can see
I tie my arms to be free
Have you ever been free?
She's not breathing
She's not moving
She's not coming back
I burn a fire to stay cool
I burn myself,
I am the fuel
I never meant to be cruel
Have you ever been cruel?
She's not breathing
She's not moving
She's not coming back
Shut the door so I can leave

inspired by...nothing really...maybe boredom.
Split Enz - my mistake

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
I went out to see if I could raise a laugh again
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
Pull me up and pull me through,
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could live for a couple of days.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days.
Yeah, That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.

Whats gone is gone, sweet memories,
Dont let them get the best of me,
No more lost in history,
No more lost for love.

When all I needed was a friend,
To make me stop and think again,
The call to arms is loud and clear,
Tally ho, your health my dear.

I went out to see if I could fall in love again,
That was my mistake.
Why, That was my mistake.
One by one I counted all those happiest of days
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.
That was my mistake.

The Artist In The Ambulance - Thrice

late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel lift me up
and i open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and i am gone
now i lay here owing my life to a stranger
and i realize that empty words are not enough
i'm left here with the question of just
what have i to show except the promises i never kept?
i lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
i hope that i will never let you down
i know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
it gets me down but i'm still gonna try to do what's right, i know that there's
a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
there's a line drawn in the sand, i'm working up the will to cross it
rhetoric can't raise the dead
i'm sick of always talking when there's no change
i'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel steal me from the
greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
they've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

angie hart - blue

night falls; i fall
and where were you?
where were you?

warm skin; wolf grin
and where were you?

i fell into the moon
and it covered you in blue
i fell into the moon
can i make it right?
can i spend the night?

high tide, inside
the air is dew
and where were you?

wild eyed, i died,
and where were you?

i crawled out of the world
and you said i shouldn't stay
i crawled out of the world

can i make right?
can i spend the night...
alone?

i fell into the moon
and it covered you in blue
i fell into the moon
can i make it right?
can i spend the night... alone?


i did that offhand, so it might be completely out of order + wrong :p

How To Disappear Completely rules it, especially the second verse and the finale, with the sound of the song 'melting' through the creepy strings overtaking it..Beautiful. It's also a fine example of much meaning being generated through relatively minimal lyrics..They evoke images, and that is enough. (Especially seeing the lyrics were reportedly based upon a dream.)

More evocative and/or depressing lyrics;

Joy Division-Atmosphere
Walk in silence,
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.

Walk in silence,
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.

lol i love how you know so much about music and songs i love...it's very inspiring.
the VU - rock & roll
Jenny said when she was just five years old
You know there's nothing happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing goin' down at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
She couldn't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll
Despite all the amputations
You could just dance to a rock 'n' roll station
Jenny said when she was just five years old
My parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars--
Ain't gonna help us at all
Then one fine mornin' she puts on a New York station
She don't believe what she heard at all
She started dancin' to that fine fine music
You know her life was saved by Rock 'n' Roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock 'n ' roll station
And it was alright.

Annie Lennox -Into the West from lord of the rings, return of the king
officially my new favourite song

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
The night is falling
You have come to journey's end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All Souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again
And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

There are no unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable Gods
There re no unnameable names,

I used to go to bed so high and wired

Yeah - yeah - yeah - yeah
There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens,
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah
There are no indisputable truths

Soundgarden - big dumb sex
Don't you don't you want to thrill me
Don't you be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But now don't you want to touch it anyway

I've been looking for a reject
And you ain't had nothing like me yet
Don't you think it's time for motion
I can take what you've been pushin'

Hey I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you
Ya I know what to do
I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you
Fuck you I'm gonna

I'm the beast and you're the master
You're the meat of the matter
I'm no fool for discretion
When it's on the tip of my tongue

Don't you don't you want to thrill me
Don't you be afraid to tell me
Tell me if you think it's ugly
But now don't you want to touch it anyway

Earshot - Get Away

You stay all in one piece when broken
Kind remarks, and your words soft-spoken
Driving far from the path of destruction
Coming ever so close to throwing it all away again

Is this all some great big lie?
Twisted and working on something deep down
That you should?ve never kept inside

How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this tension and so alive)
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this pressure that makes your head feel so tired)

You've been through the worst encounters
Searching out the truth, the light, and way
You have thoughts of peace and silence
Coming ever so close to giving it all away again

Is this all some great big lie?
Sick and disturbing, you want no answers
But you should've never looked inside

How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this tension and so alive)
How much must I live through just to get away?
(All this pressure that makes your head feel so tired)

And sometimes it seems easier to burn it to the ground

Can we get away now?
Can we get away now?
Can we get away now?
please just let this go away
