Tori - Ruby through the Looking-Glass

feel a little hand turning inside me
don't you think she feels us fighting
strike me at the root
I won't let you
put her through
what you put me through

when I said I wanted it all
doesn't every woman want it all

running through the house screaming
girl unstrung you could always play that one
baptized of fire and every beat in the bar
hymns for her
feel her kick me from the inside

when I said I wanted it all
doesn't every woman want it all
as a man do you find doesn't every boy smoke to cry

you could almost drown her waterfall
you could almost drown my waterfall

through the looking glass, Ruby sees
things in you
things in me
she won't wanna be just a little light turning the key
at the root, what I missed she will carry

when I said I wanted it all
doesn't every woman want it all
as a man do you find doesn't every boy smoke to cry
smoke to cry, smoke to cry

feel a little hand turning
turning
Ruby

Azure Ray - The devil's feet

When i was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl oh so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
But she lifted her soul
She lifted her soul clean oh clean
And like the story was told
On a dark country road
The same man appeared to me
But i reached
I reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet
Now twenty years later to the place i return
Where i scorned the angels for a passion that burned
There set in the tree a knot twisted and turned
The face of a creature hell bound
So long ago could my mind have played jokes on me
As darkness sets in unavoidable sin
The truth i try not to believe
That i reached i reached
Through the rain to the devil's feet

I hope Azure Ray will release a new album this year. And a tour would be fine.

oh god yes! i'd SO go

Coldplay's "Fix You"

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse*
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go**
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

---

some of my annotations:
i guess it must be
*"stop and revise"
**"when you're too in love to let it go"

what do the natives say?

ive just learned that rilo kiley will tour with them partly in the states.

Kate Bush - Night Scented Stock

Sorry, that's an instrumental. But I love this song.

"Sand In My Shoes"

Two weeks away it feels like the world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it till tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity
should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night
To a life where I can't watch sunset

I wanna see you againI've fallen
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see again



How could she know?

i guess you are not alone Christina


here's mine for today:

Morcheeba - Wonders never cease

What do you feel when you let go of the wheel
Can you take a leap of faith will you face the change of pace
There are worlds out there beyond compare

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We'll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease

All that we’ve been through brings my soul so close to you
why not cast your fears aside we can laugh until we cry
There are worlds out there beyond compare

Going on a journey
Somewhere far out east
We’ll find the time to show you
Wonders never cease

Quote:
A very touching song, indeed.

(Most of my friends don't understand this one.)

Liz Phair - Jeremy Engle.

Jeremy Engle
Lives in a tangled
Rent controlled apartment
With his communist family
There are books all around them
The dining room table is lacquered
With news clippings
Yellowing badly
They argue at dinner
His brother's friends drop by
To throw a line in or two
About Tolstoy
They all play guitar
And they're all very far away
In their own minds
From the upper west side
Of manhattan
I never got past his
Googly eyes
That looked at me sadly
In mocking surprise
The way a lord looks at his placemat
Or a stain on his tie
It never happened for me
And Jeremy Engle though
Wanted to step through that portal
And try on that other dimension
Of high high browism
Jeremy's hair and brow
Grow very high
And no not I
I'm more of a napkin
Not blessed with the vision
Beyond how I'm matching
The china and wine
Now there are the Engles
Skewering Lenin
And chewing through
Six pounds of venison
Thigh that they shot up
In upstate New York
At their uncle's
Jeremy needs me
To wipe off his eye
Some gelatinous thingy
That his brother's rebuttaling
Mouthful let fly
Sometimes all you need is a napkin
Sometimes all you need is a napkin

Aww.. *hug*

Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead

(When there is nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire)

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour

Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love

Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back

There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

Iron & Wine Cover of The Postal Service's

"Such Great Heights"

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
And that frankly will not fly. You will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home

Damien Rice - Older chests

Older chests reveal themselves
Like a crack in a wall
Starting small, and grow in time
And we (always) seem to need the help
Of someone else
To mend that shelf
(of) Too many books
Read me your favourite line

Papa went to other lands
And he found someone who understands
The ticking, and the western man's need to cry
He came back the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
And some things
They stay the same

Like time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change
Children scream, or so it seems,
Louder than before
Out of doors, into stores with bigger names
Mama tried to wash their faces
But these kids they lost their graces
And daddy lost at the races too many times

She broke down the other day, yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things they stay the same

Like time, time, there's always time
On my mind
So pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time,
Time, there's always time
On my mind
Pass me by, I'll be fine
Just give me time

Enya - Orinoco Flow (Sail Away..)

Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.

From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

From the North to the South, Ebudae into Khartoum,
From the deep sea of Clouds to the island of the moon,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

We can sail, we can sail...
We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
We can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
We can sail, we can sail...

Quote:
the video of this song is great!

i dunno that vid



but for now: Tori Amos - Lust

Hey you gender nectar
Sifting through the grain of gold
Tripping at your door is that you.
Alpha in her blood
And when the woman lies
You don't believe her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Running free
Running through the underworld int your room

Is he real or a ghost-lie
She feels she isn't hear
And the veil tears and rages till her voices are remembered
And his secrets can be told

Hey you gender nectar
Crystalline from the vine
You know you'll drink her
Rolling and unrolling
Coiling emerging
Funning free running through
The afterworld intoyour room
So she prays
For a prankster and lust
In the marriage bed
And he waits till she can give
And he waits and he waits

Yeah I know I'm a guy and never had a sister but I love this song, itsa funny!

Juliana Hatfield ~ My sister

I hate my sister, she’s such a bitch.
She acts as if she doesn’t even know that I exist.
But I would do anything to let her know I care.
But I am only talking to myself ’cos she isn’t there.

My sister, I love my sister, she’s the best.
She’s cooler than any other girl that I have ever met.
She had the greatest band, she had the greatest guy.
She’s good at everything and doesn’t even try.

She’s got a wall around her nobody can climb.
She lets her ladder down for those who really shine.
I tried to scale it, but to me she’s blind.
So I lit a firecracker, went off in my eye.

I miss my sister, why’d she go ?
She’s the one who would have taken me
To my first all-ages show.
It was the violent femmes and the del fuegos,
Before they had a record out. before they went gold,
And started to grow.

I miss my sister. I miss my sister.
I miss my sister. I really miss her.

Interpol - NYC

I had seven faces
Thought I new which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed
But

[Chorus]

New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)

The subway she is a porno
The pavements they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed

It is up to me now, turn on the bright lights

Tomte - Du bist den ganzen Weg gerannt

Vielen Dank für die weißen Lilien und das gute Buch
Das ich nicht wage zu lesen, du weisst doch, dass ich es versuch
Das ist kein Rätsel, das ist was wir kennen
Sein Versagen nicht länger Überzeugung zu nennen

Und die Zeit versucht zu trösten
Und die Liebe versucht zu bewahren
Dass man weiss, dass man drüber wegkommt wie man früher einmal war

Schau ein einziges Mal nach oben
Schau ein einziges Mal nach vorn
Du wirst Dinge sehen, von denen du dachtest sie sein noch nicht geboren
Du wirst Tage verbringen an denen die Zähne nicht knirschen, deine Scheine ausreichen deine Schulden zu begleichen, deine Augen nicht feucht sind, du bekommst was du bräuchtest, es wird passiern, ich hoffe du weisst es

Die Zeit versucht zu trösten
Und die Liebe versucht zu bewahrn,
dass man weiss, dass man drüber hinwegkommt wie man früher einmal war

Hinter all diesen Fenstern sitzen Menschen,
Du hast es immer geahnt,
Dass sie es wert sind zu bleiben,
Du bist den ganzen Weg gerannt

Die Zeit versucht zu trösten
Und die Liebe versucht zu bewahrn,
dass man weiss, dass man drüber hinwegkommt wie man früher einmal war


wie man früher einmal war...

Devendra Banhart - Little yellow spider

One, two, three, four

Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
'Cause I'm goddamn cold

Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows?

Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"

And hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure

And hey ya, little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
I think I oughta spit before you start letting off your steam
For sure

And hey there, little sexy pig, you mated it with a man
And now you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands

And oh, all of the animals
All of the animals

And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long

And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really oughta play fair

And hey there, Mr. happy squid, you move so psychadelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure

And oh, all of the animals
All of the animals

And hey there, Mr. morning sun, what kind of creature are you?
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew

And hey there, Mrs. lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kind of strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too

It's 3 AM and I have been in my head for quite some time
Every fear, every tear has been swirling in my mind
And there are still a hundred reasons I shouldn't walk away
Do I love you if I leave you? You have no name

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
I was up all night

When morning comes, I will tell you it's life I have to chase
But every song that I sing will be written by your face
And if you're really meant to be then you'll be back again
And I watch as your beginning turns into the end

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
If it's you or if it's me I save
I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night

With a kick inside in the dark you hide
And we both know how the end will be
In your little tide with your eyes shut wide
And we both know how the end will be
How it will be

I was up all night
Waiting for some kind of miracle
I was up all night
Feeling all alone in the universe
If it's you or if it's me I save
I'm still throwing it all away
I was up all night

Sigur Ros - Starálfur

blá nótt yfir himininn
blá nótt yfir mér
horf-inn út um gluggann
minn með hendur
faldar undir kinn
hugsum daginn minn
í dag og í gær
blá náttfötin klæða mig í
beint upp í rúm
breiði mjúku sængina
loka augunum
ég fel hausinn minn undir sæng
starir á mig lítill álfur
hleypur að mér en hreyfist ekki
úr stað – sjálfur
starálfur
opna augun
stírurnar úr
teygi mig og tel (hvort ég sé ekki)
kominn aftur og alltalltílæ
samt vantar eitthvað
eins og alla vegginna
