spoon- believing is art

Things Everybody Would Say
Believing Is Hard
Believing Is Art
Things Everybody Should Know
The End Will Come Slow
And Love Breaks Your Heart

So Welcome To The North Side
Where You Will See What It Means To Be Standing On Line
It's Not So Out Of The Way
Just Under The East And One Stop Away

I Said That This Is A Call
Yeah It Might Be A Call
If The World Could Sit Tight For One Night
Get Out The Car At The Corner Of Nine
Where They Take Everything And Just Spit It All Out

I'm Staying Up Late At Night
To Take Apart What I Said
To Make It All Sound Alright
Waiting Now And Taking My Time
Cause I've Seen What It Means To Be Standing On Line

This Is A Call Yeah It Might Be A Call
And The World Is Alright And Alright
Taking Your Time And I'm Standing On Line
It Depends It Depends And It Comes Back Again
Yes

They've Got My Number They've Got Me Alright
They Know My Number They've Got Me Alright
Think About It A While
The End Ain't That Bad
Take Out The Trash With One Hand
It Falls Apart Like A Band
Just Hold On To It Tight

This Is A Call It Aint Mine Not At All
And The World Can Sit Tight And Alright
Taking Your Time And Get Right Back On Line
It Depends It Depends And It Comes Back Again

Yes Things That Everybody Would Say
Believing Is Hard
Believing Is Art
Things Everybody Should Know
The End Will Come Slow
And Love Breaks Your Heart

Where do I take this pain of mine.
I run but it stays right by my side.
So tear me open and pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout,
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps.

Just like a curse, just like a stray.
You feed it once and now it stays,
Now it stays.
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care,
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean.

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps.

So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
Now tear me open make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone,
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me, until it sleeps

It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps (x4)

Don't want it want it want it want it want it no
So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care,
And the dirt still stains me,
So wash me till I'm clean.

Now tear me open make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone,
And the hate still shapes me,
So hold me until it sleeps (x5
fuck yes... that song is awesome
and sad :(

The Smiths-Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now,

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life,
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye ?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now

"You've been in the house too long" she said
And I (naturally) fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

butthole surfers+ pepper

Marky got with Sharon
And Sharon got Sharice
She was sharing Sharon's outlook
On the topic of disease
Mikey had a facial scar
And Bobby was a racist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Tommy played piano
Like a kid out in the rain
Then he lost his leg in Dallas
He was dancing with a train
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I don't mind the sun sometimes
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and sugary
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through other people's eyes
Some will die in hot pursuit
In fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

[Chorus]

Another Mikey took a knife
While arguing in traffic
Flipper died a natural death
He caught a nasty virus
Then there was the ever-present
Football player rapist
They were all in love with dyin'
They were doing it in Texas
Polly caught a bullet
But it only hit his leg
Well it should have been a better shot
And got him in the head
They were all in love with dyin'
They were drinking from a fountain
That was pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

[Chorus]

alice in chains - sea of sorrow

Mind, of destructive taste
I choose...to stroll amongst the waste
That was your heart
Lost in the dark
Call off the chase

Walls of thought, strong and high
As my castle crumbles with time...
I think of you
Oh, yes I do
Such a crime

You opened fire...and your mark was true
You opened fire...aim my smilin' skull at you
You opened fire...
I live tomorrow, you I'll not follow
As you wallow in a sea of sorrow

Lines cut across my face
Why you laugh at my disgrace
I'll never know
How far to go
To reach that place

faith no more - last cup of sorrow

This is getting old
and so are you.
Everything you know
and never knew.
Will run through your fingers
just like sand.

Enjoy it while you can.

Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.
Take a deep breath and swallow
your sorrow
tomorrow.

So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
What can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way.

It won't begin
until you make it end.
Until you know the how the where and the when.
With a new face you might surprise yourself.

Like a snake between two stones
it itches in your bones.
take a deeper breath and swallow
your sorrow
tomorrow.

So raise it up and lets propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.

It's your last cup of sorrow.
what can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way!

You might surprise yourself
You might surprise yourself

The Flaming Lips - Thank You Jack White (For The Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me)

I wanna tell you a little story about a gift that I got from a man who
didn't know me very well. But he brightened up the night and made it one of the shining moments on a long tour.

This is how it goes;

Backstage in Detroit
And the room is full of smoke and apprehension
We'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack and says, "How'd ya do?"
Then he gave me this glorious statue

And I said, "Thank you Jack White
"For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.
"It shined so bright
"That I couldn't help believin' it would save me."
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighbourhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
"For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

Now, Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards librel family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock 'n' roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begins to stink
But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think.

And I said, "Thank you Jack White
"For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.
"It shined so bright
"That I couldn't help believin' it would save me."
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighbourhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
"For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."
"It shined so bright
"That I couldn't help believin' it would save me."
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighbourhood was aglow
And I said, "Thank you Jack White
"For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me."

Into The Flood Again
Same Old Trip It Was Back Then
So I Made A Big Mistake
Try To See It Once My Way

Drifting Body Its Sole Desertion
Flying Not Yet Quite The Notion

Am I Wrong?
Have I Run Too Far To Get Home?
Am I Gone?
And Left You Here Alone
If I Would Could You?

YOU SO TOTALLY ROCK!!!!

this is the best song about death that i've ever heard... got it last night

ohia- soul (it's on the 'back to mine' compilation by death in vegas)

tell all your friends that you're bound for glory
how long did ya know that you'd make it there before me?
what is it like? is it worth all this misfortune?
what is it like on the other side?

these twenty years, i loved one thing only
i love what i know about passion
i love what i know about mercy
i love what i know about patience
i love what i know about soul
and i know you, oh i know you
and i know you, oh i know you

tell all my friends that i'm bound for heaven
and if it aint so, ya can't blame me for livin'
i know what it's like, and it's worth this misfortune
i know what it's like, on the other side

these twenty years i've loved one thing only
i love what i know about passion
i love what i know about mercy
i love what i know about patience
i love what i know about soul
and i know you, oh i know you
and i know you, oh i know you

this song has been in my head allll day. grr/yay. i am the saddest person alive, but ive been working on my ext2 project, hence the buffy songs in my head :p


life's a show
and we all play a part
and when the music starts
we open up our hearts
it's alright if some things come out wrong
we'll sing a happy song
and you can sing along

where there's life there's hope, every day's a gift, wishes can come true, whistle while you work so hard all day

to be like other girls
to fit in in this glittering world
don't give me songs
don't give me songs

give me something to sing about
i need something to sing about

life's a song you don't get to rehearse
and every single verse
can make it that much worse
still my friends don't know why i ignore
the million things, or more
i should be dancing for

all the joy life sends, family and friends, all the choices and then knowing that it ends, well that depends

on if they let you go
on if they know enough to know
that when you bow
you leave the crowd.

................




and i claim i'm not excited with my life anymore
so i blame this town, this job, these friends
the truth is, it's myself
and i try to understand myself
and pinpoint where i am
but when i've finally got it figured out
i've changed the whole damn plan

To continue the trend toward Alternative Rock;

Nirvana-Serve The Servants
Teenage angst has paid off well
Now Im bored and old
Self-appointed judges judge
More than they have sold

If she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at salems lot

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad

I just want you to know that i
Dont hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I havent thought before

Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

To break it;
Tim Buckley-Song To The Siren
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with Death my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me, Swim to me, Let me enfold you:
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"


Funnily enough, the 'newborn child' line was originally 'I'm as troubled as the oyster". :D

And people say Paul McCartney only wrote happy songs; (Or Silly Love Songs :D)

The Beatles-Eleanor Rigby
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near.
Look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care ?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong ?


And in more 'original lyric' fun, 'Father McKenzie' was originally 'Father McCartney'. True story.

mmm... might chuck on some tim buckley before bed tonite...

note sure if ive posted it before

pink floyd - brain damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
you re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
