WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm only doing this 'cause Darren yelled at me...

BOWS & ARROWS

I saw your face
Whiter the purity
Then I saw savages
Standing before me

Bows and arrows
Tipped with poison
Make tenderness please
Stand by my pillow

I see evil
Everytime I dream
I see earth's poison
I hear violence sing
Even your touch
Once so pure
Comes fates cold hand
On my locked door

Won't you send those angels to watch over me?

I can't catch the bow
That this planet has thrown
I can't catch this bow
On my own
In come the arrows
Like a needle

You pierce my heart
And I taste poison
You pierce my soul
With bows and arrows

Won't you send those angels to watch over me?

Robert Fripp's "You Burn Me Up I'm A Cigarette" from EXPOSURE
Words by Robert Fripp.

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
You hold my hand I begin to sweat
You make me nervous
Ooh I'm nervous
It must be real bad karma
For this to be my dharma
With you

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Life with you is a loser's bet
You make me crazy
Ooh I'm going crazy
Your therapeutic antics
Well they really make me frantic
With you

Strategic interaction irreducible fraction
Terminal inaction and a bitter hostile faction
I'm getting anxious
I'm franxious
Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases
We

You burn me up I'm a cigarette
Demanding my attention which you're not gonna get
What did the sage mean?
What had the sage seen?
Musical elation is my only consolation
Oh yeah

You burn me up I'm about to ignite
When you tell me you love me I give up this fight
I'm feeling put down my feelings shut down
I want rejuvenation from male emancipation

[note: some releases omit printing this verse]

Strategic interaction terminal inaction

Transactional diseases are the only thing that pleases

July

This barren July
we both wake up so dry
that no more tears can leave us.

And all we've found
are roads we can't go down,
eyes on a day we can't see.

I hope it comes.
I hope that the water comes
and drenches us in our clothes.

The world at night
has seen the greatest light.
Too much light to deny.

You never know,
you never really know.
And you can't have people figured out.
One friend came in
out of nowhere,
with lit sparklers in both her hands for me,
and saved the day
when I had run away
to envy and black feelings.

And the world at night
could see the greatest light.
Too much light to deny.

July, July,
the man I love and I
will lift our heads together.
July, July,
I've seen the greatest light.
Too much light to deny.

Bridges and Balloons

We sailed away on a winter's day
with fate as malleable as clay;
but ships are fallible, I say,
and the nautical, like all things, fades

And I can recall our caravel:
a little wicker beetle shell
with four fine maste and lateen sails,
its bearings on Cair Paravel

O my love,
O it was a funny little thing
to be the ones to've seen.

The sight of briges and balloons
makes calm canaries irritable;
they caw and claw all afternoon:
"Catenaries and dirigibles
brace and buoy the living-room --
a loom of metal, warp - woof - wimble."
And a thimblesworth of milky moon
can touch hearts larger than a thimble.

O my love,
O is was a funny little thing
to be the ones to've seen

Garbage - Why Do You Love Me

I'm no Barbie doll
I'm not your baby girl
So I've done ugly things and I have made mistakes
And I am not as pretty as those girls in magazines
I am rotten to my core if they're to be believed
So what if I'm no baby bird hanging upon your every word?
Nothing ever smells of roses that rides out of mud

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me it's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me it's driving me crazy
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up ........... and I do it again

You're not some baby boy
Why you acting so surprised
You're sick of all the rules
Well I'm sick of all the lies
Now I've held back a wealth of shit I think I'm gonna choke
I'm standing in the shadows with the words stuck in my throat
Does it really come as a surprise when I tell you I don't feel good?
That nothing ever came from nothing man
Oh man ain't that the truth

Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me it's driving me crazy
Why do you love me
Why do you love me
Why do you love me it's driving me crazy
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up and I do it again
I get back up ........ and I do it again

I think you're sleeping with a friend of mine
I have no proof but I think that I'm right
And you've still got the most beautiful face
It just makes me sad most of the time

new single?

yes Ben. I didn't have the pleasure to listen to it, but I definitely love it

HEY PEOPLE!
you should put who the artist is that youre quoting the lyrics to! :)
sometimes, i read something i like, but dont know who did it!

Ski-Ming


I guess my plan in the beginning was to first find out theinning
Then to crawl beneath your protective shell and lure you in mysinging
I would find out what you do then I'd use it all against you
By working for the goal of making loving me the thing to do
I play it like I'm distant and never really listening
I talk of leaving your life right after we've been reminiscing

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
Baby, what's pathetic is the tactics used to tame this man

One minute you were cold as ice the next you are really reallynice
Could it be you're playing me or could you just be indecisive
But how you come when called is it my scheming drawl or
Is it the mystery that I've built up that can't be called on
You can't explain and I see you try and taint it
But you appear where I am but can't admit that it's related

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
Baby, what's pathetic is the tactics used to tame this man

So all along there is a game and sometimes I am winning
But only because I am manipulative, devious and sinning
I do all that I can to get you in the palm of my hand
Baby, what's pathetic is the tactics used to tame this man

Amazed, by Poe

It's amazing to me
I can't seem to say what I'm doing here
My tongue is all twisted around the air
I'm looking for words that were so well rehearsed
But I can't find them anywhere
With you there's no easy answer
It's true
You change the equation that I add up to
And all of the things that I thought I knew
You turn it around

I'm amazed
When push comes to shove what I'd give to you
Everything
I'm amazed
The hallways I wouldn't mind crawling through
And I'd do it for days and days

I'm amazed, I'm amazed

That places you're taking me to

Wait, I thought I had this down
I built all my cages and my hide out
And I covered all my bases
I locked the door, I shut all my windows
But you
You creep in like a whisper
I try not to listen, yeah, but I hear you
I'm not really sure just what it is you do
But do it again

I'm amazed
When push comes to shove what I'd give to you
Everything

I'm amazed
The walls that I wouldn't mind crashing through
And I'd do it for days and days

I'm amazed, I'm amazed

At all of the things I know you have done
'Cause this time I think we've really won
The tables have turned
Now I'm taking my hat off to you
You said "we'll see"
But darling it's all clear to me

I'm amazed

And here in the foyer the hallway is small
I don't really think it's a hallway at all
It's a maze

Johnny your suitcase was finally received
She's packed up her things and she's ready to leave

It's amazing

All of the ink that was bled from your hands
Has painted a picture that she understands
It's amazing

And here by the ocean the sky's full of leaves
And what they can tell you depends on what you believe

The ash is a tree and the voices were three
And all that is gone is here sweeping through me
It's amazing
It's a maze

The voice of my father still loud as before
It used to scare me but not anymore
It's a maze

Quote:

Who PEOPLE??

I did. I put it in the 'subject' header. Time to pay attention in class.

Sophie Zelmani - PEOPLE

I can wake up to a bad day
I know how to go from there
But you
I can't handle

It's not that you're not welcome
You're amazing in my eyes
It's me that change too much
around you

You are one of those people

I can think of a million reasons
and times when I should
shut my mouth
But I feel like a fool
around you

You are one of those people
that just ain't good for everyone
I have nothing against you people
But I don't like what I become

We will never know each other
It's not much to cry about
But when I get so strange around you
might be something to work out

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

These lyrics fits perfectly into the feeling I have in school in my class

This is a hairy and frenetic piece of music, from Robert Fripp's EXPOSURE:

Disengage
Words by Joanna Walton.

Mrs Marion is strict with her servant
Behind locked doors over coffee they speak
They speak to my sister my parents
And I'm trying hard not to shriek
Disengage
Disengage
Disengage

She decodes my secrets my fragments
I'd create any betrayal for their sake
She asks me to wait in the hallway
Where I'm doing my best not to shake
Disengage
Disengage
Disengage

Muttering words to her for convenience
I start to head for the door
Mrs Marion screams over my shoulder
Walking out's just another metaphor

Brilliant musicianship, as well as poignant lyricism...

TOOL - SCHISM

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

ha I can do that too!



A toi qui naguère professais
La dissidence et le maquis,
Tes cris de guerre
Qu'en as-tu fait?
L'hymne et la carte du parti....

Et ces manières si policées,
Toutes ces danses de salons,
Ces airs qu'avant tu vomissais,
C'est comme un gant qu'ils te vont.

Les temps changent

Tu as troqué tracts et slogants,
Mots d'ordre et manifestations,
Pour des choses plus élégantes
D.R.H., golf et stock-options...

Tu l'as vite apprise la chanson
Qu'importe, puisqu'il est de bon ton
Autant se mettre au diapason
C'est pour le bien de la nation.

Les temps changent

L'ami je ne te salue pas
Ni te félicite, d'ailleurs,
Tu as ta conscience pour toi
La chose est affaire de valeurs

Okay, c'est un peu démago
Je te le concède, je t'entends
Avoue, c'était bien trop tentant
Entre gauchos on se comprend...

Les temps changent

That's one of my favorite love songs:

Roy Orbison - A Love So Beautiful

The summer sun looked down
On our love long ago
But in my heart I feel
The same old afterglow
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

We were too young to understand
To ever know
That lovers drift apart
And that's the way love goes
A love so beautiful
A love so sweet
A love so beautiful
A love for you and me

And I when I think of you
I fall in love again
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away
A love so beautiful
In every way
A love so beautiful
We let it slip away

ah mine is this one:

Feels like, I'm standing in a timeless dream
Of light mists, of pale amber rose
Feels like, I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Touching, discovering you

Those days, of warm rains come rushing back to me
Miles of windless, summer night air
Secret moments, shared in the heat of the afternoon
Out of the stillness, soft spoken words

Chorus:
I love you, always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everyday, I will devour you
I love you, always forever
Near and far, closer together
Everywhere, I will be with you
Everyday, I will devour you

You've got, the most unbelievable
blue eyes I've ever seen
You've got, me almost melt away
As we lay there, under a blue sky
with pure white stars
Exotic sweetness, a magical time

(Chorus)

Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

Say you'll love, love me forever
Never stop, not for whatever
Near and far and always and
everywhere and everything

(Chorus)

This beautiful piece of music, by Elysian Fields, has cello on it. It's very languid and haunting...

Passing On The Stairs

In the hall lights flicker hum
With her buckles still undone
She hides beneath her blue trench coat
Gaze so soft, yet so remote
In that dusty uniform
The outline of her lovely form
And more than once I've brushed her hand
Passing on the stairs
In the hall lights flicker hum
His dark lashes always hung
With a look so weary and so wise
When he passes he gentley sighs
In his work-worn boots he leans
And I wonder what it means
Whatever does it mean
Passing on the stairs
Up the stairs every night
Up the stairs seven flights
And down she goes into the night
Down my stairs and out of sight
Who is she with that misty look
Every night a different book
With the scent of violets in her hair
Who's this angel on my stairs
A distant time comes back to me
The wild reeds, the salty sea
My father calling 'don't go far'
I gathered sea glass in a jar
And built a castle with a mote
As the wind blew sand into my hair
In the rustling of your over coat
Passing on the stairs
Up the stairs every night
Up the stairs seven flights
And down she goes into the night
Down my stairs and out of sight
And I wonder if she thinks of me
Is it just a boyish fantasy
Speak dear lady wont you speak
Can't you tell you make me meek
So in silence once more we pass
Another night I walk on glass
And I dream that she thinks of me
Passing on the stairs
And I wonder if he thinks of me
If this could be our destiny
Oh haven't you a word for me
If only you'd misplace your key
So in silence once more we pass
Another night I walk on glass
And how I dream he thinks of me
And our passing on the stairs
Up the stairs every night
Up he climbs seven flights
And down she goes into the night
Down my stairs and out of sight
Up the stairs every night
Up the stairs seven flights
And down she goes into the night
Down my stairs and out of sight
Down my stairs and out of sight

Passing on the stairs sounds a little stinky

Every album that Elysian Fields have done, there's been at least one gem there which is worth the price of the album...

Suddenly you can live without me,
your no longer calling me up.
Hours pass by without you,
I can't stop myself from throwing up.
I'm woken up worrying will you come back
I can't sleep in past eight.
Then when night comes round I'm desperate,
and can't fall asleep till late.

My psychotic vengeance is on a killing spree.
My neurotic tendence,
is just about to set me free.
I think of little excuses,
of how I can get to you.
I conjure up things that are abusive
and how I'll be doing them to you.
I want to call you up,
and cry to you and plead.
I want to kick you down,
kick you 'til you blead.
I will bash your face in,
I will fuck you up the ass.
I'm gonna fuck your world up,
and dwell in just the past.

I lost 15 lbs. and dyed my hair black,
to be your perfect girlfriend. But you left me for a blonde
with meat on her bones who makes mistakes now and then.
I find it quaint how you channel energy,
it seems as though you use it,
on anything but me.
Watch how interesting I will react.
Don't question why,
I swear I'm so over that.
First half of Chorus.
Just cause we can't pull throught,
God bless the rest.
I hate my new tatoo

He lit the fire in my heart
And with the same flame burnt my world down stark
I gave him the whole entire thing
At first he gently held it and then got bored and started carving

Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think

A tiny pin prick, came little spurts of blood
A little trickle long enough can surely cause the flood
But last night he sped the process
He sliced it open then walked away and cut his losses

Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I slip like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think

So beautiful and capable of bringing me good news
Now the enemy with knives and pins looking to bruise
You fall out as quickly as you fall in
You never fell at all I was just kidding

Love, all one needs
What I need is to try healing
And then make sure I never
Fall back into that feeling
Love and I, to one another never truely loyal
We don't mix to well
Love flows like water, I burn like oil
Yet I look around and there is all this water
But none that I should drink
I notice now that I am oil, and oil is all I should think

What about her???

Joni Mitchell - River

It’s coming on christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye

It’s coming on christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

"We Are Nowhere, And It's Now"
(feat. Emmylou Harris)

If you hate the taste of wine
Why do you drink it until you’re blind?
And if you swear that there’s no truth and who cares
How come you say it like you’re right?
Why are you scared to dream of god
When it’s salvation that you want?
You see stars that clear have been dead for years
But the idea just lives on

In our wheels that roll around
As we move over the ground
And all day it seems we’ve been in between the past and future town

We are nowhere, and it’s now
We are nowhere, and it’s now
You took a ten-minute dream in the passengers seat
While the world it was flying by
I haven’t been gone very long
But it feels like a lifetime

I’ve been sleeping so strange at night
Side effects they don’t advertise
I’ve been sleeping so strange
With a head full of pesticide

I got no plans and too much time
I feel to restless to unwind
I’m always lost in thought
As I walk a block to my favourite neon sign
Where the waitress looks concerned
But she never says a word
Just turns the jukebox on
And we hum along
And I smile back at her

And my friend comes after work
When the features start to blur
She says these bars are filled with things that kill
And you probably should have learned

Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget that yellow bird?

She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
She said this one will bring you love
I don’t know if it’s true but I keep it for good luck

I'm only familiar with the immortal lyrics from the famous Simon & Garfunkel song, Bright Eyes...

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?

There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?

There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark.

Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

|> hehe, and i only know the song bright eyse by sophie zelmani. <|

The second best song ever:

Kate Bush - All We Ever Look For

Just look at your father
And you'll see how you took after him.
Me, I'm just another
Like my brothers
Of my mother's genes.

All they ever want for you
Are the things they didn't do.
All they ever wanted--a little clue.
All they ever wanted--the truth.
All they ever wanted--a little bit of you.
All they ever wanted,
But they never did get.

The whims that we're weeping for
Our parents would be beaten for
Leave the breast
And then the rest
And then regret you ever left.

All we're ever looking for
Is another open door.
All we ever look for--another womb.
All we ever look for--our own tomb.
All we ever look for--ooh, la lune.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.

All we ever look for--a god.
All we ever look for--ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for--a great big hug.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you.
All we ever look for--a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.

Joni! Emmylou! Simon & Garfunkel!

too much good stuff here.

That Emmylou. She's like some sort of musical slut. I mean, she gets around. She's always dueting with someone, or cowriting with someone, or joining someone on stage for something. Genre doesn't even matter, Emmylou's into it.

Quote:

woopie!

Carla Bruni - L'amour

L'amour, pas pour moi
Tous ces "toujours"
C'est pas net, ça joue des tours
Ca s'approche sans se montrer
Comme un traître de velours
Ca me blesse, ou me lasse, selon les jours

L'amour, hum hum, ça ne vaut rien
Ça m'inquiète de tout
Et ça se déguise en deux
Quand ça gronde, quand ça me mord
Alors oui, c'est pire que tout
Car j'en veux plus encore

Pourquoi faire ce tas de plaisirs, de frissons, de caresses, de pauvres promesses ?
A quoi bon se laisser reprendre
Le coeur en chamade
Ne rien y comprendre
C'est une embuscade

L'amour ça ne va pas
C'est pas du Saint Laurent
Ca ne tombe pas parfaitement
Si je ne trouve pas mon style ce n'est pas faute d'essayer
Et l'amour j'laisse tomber !

A quoi bon ce tas de plaisirs, de frissons, de caresses, de pauvres promesses ?
Pourquoi faire se laisser reprendre
Le coeur en chamade
Ne rien y comprendre
C'est une embuscade

L'amour, j'en veux pas
J'préfère de temps de temps
Je préfère le goût du vent
Le goût étrange et doux de la peau de mes amants,
Mais l'amour, pas vraiment !



I'm sure i read those last lines here before. Was it you Anke?

i always liked this talking heads song, i read somewhere that david byrne wrote it about a girl he met who had an acid trip somewhere around a Yoohoo factory--

<i>And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She’s making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor’s house
Now she’s starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isn’t sure where she’s gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she’s done
And she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She’s moving out in all directions

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was)
Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)</i>
