Songs for people

[Cuilanië]

What song defines you today? How does it relate to you, is it the music, the lyrics, the artist? Give us a quote!

For example, my song these days would be "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.
I don't know any of her other songs, and the style isn't quite what I listen to nowadays, it's really the lyrics for me...

"I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between..."

[littlest-bee]

Today my song is definitely "Last Nite" by The Strokes:

"Well I've been in town for just about fifteen minutes now
And baby I feel so down
And I don't know why
I've been walking for miles

And people they don't understand
Your girlfriends they can't understand
Your grandsons they won't understand
On top of this I ain't ever gonna understand"

Okay, so the lyrics don't fit my mood exactly but when I shout them out and stomp along it makes me feel tons better. Its my angry song - the one I play to dance out all my aggression! Must be played loud!

Ask me tomorrow and I'll have a different song though.

[Redandpinkdaisy]

Ha. I'm not in the best mood right now and have been thinking about a lot of things today. Maybe the first few lines of the Friends theme song:

'So no one told you life was gonna be this way...
Your job's a joke, you're broke.....your love life's DOA (well, not the love part)
It's like you're always stuck in second gear...
or when it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year.....'


Ugh.

[stargal1998]

My song, that helps me to try and be better to myself is The Middle by Jimmy Eat World:

The Middle
hey
don't write yourself off yet
it's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
just try your best
try everything you can
and don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away


hey you know they're all the same
you know you're doing better on your own so don't buy in
live right now
just be yourself
it doesn't matter if that's good enough for someone else


it just takes some time
little girl, you're in the middle of the ride
everything everything will be just fine
everything everything will be all right


do your best
do everything you can
don't you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say

[Dalmaney]

A song that I have identified with the lyrics for rather a long time:
Lifehouse - Breathing

"I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what I am gonna do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

Cause I am hanging on every word you say, and
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside heaven's door, and 
Listen to you breathing
Is where I wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be

I am looking past the shadows in my mind
Into the truch and I'm 
Trying to identify the voices in my head
God, which one's you
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off of me one more time

Cause I am hanging on every word you say, and
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than
To sit outside your door, and
Listen to you breathing
Is where I wanna be, yeah

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting for the
Scraps to fall off of your table
To the ground
Cause I just wanna be here now

Cause I am hanging on every word you say..."

[BreezyK]

'kay I'll play:
Edie Brickell - Circle of Friends

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
on you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
the color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and....
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone
is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
the best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
the best way to be.
When I'm by myself
nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
and we notice you don't come around.

seems to be my Anthem

the words definitely get me, but theres a heart wrenching tone in the song that cries "i'm so invisible" despite efforts not to be



3 Libras
by A Perfect Circle

Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recollection
Down among a million, say:
Difficult enough to feel a little bit
Disappointed, passed over.
When I've looked right through,
To see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me

Well I threw you the obvious,
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
Eyes of a tragedy.

Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see,
See through it all,
See through,
And see you.

So I threw you the obvious
Do you see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy

Well, oh well..

Apparently nothing.
Apparently nothing at all.

You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me
You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all

DON'T GET 2 CLOSE (2 MY FANTASY) by Ween

Don't quiver little boy, your daddy's with you now
It won't be long anyhow
It's just around the corner
The destiny that I embrace with you

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise

Stay calm little dreamer and drift off into dreams
The gentle kiss of night is better than it seems
It's just around the corner
Close your eyes and soon you'll be with me

Don't get too close to my fantasy
Don't be afraid to clutch the hand of your creator
Stare into the lion's eyes and if you taste the candy
You'll get to the surprise

Sublime - Garden Grove/Trenchtown Rock LIVE

One good thing about music
when it hits you, you feel no pain.
One good thing about music
when it hits you, you feel no pain.
So hit me with music.
Hit me with music now yeah.
Hit me with music.
Brutalize me with music.

We took this trip to garden grove
It smelt like lou dog in the van
This ain't no fucking reggae party $5 at the door
Get so real sometimes who wrote my rhymes
I got the microwave got the vcr I got the duece duece
in the trunk of my car
If you only knew that all the love that I found
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground..

[Curlita]

Two songs popped into my head for this question. One is Caldonia by Louis Jordan:
Walkin' with my baby
She's got great big feet,
She's long, lean, and lanky
And ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my baby
And I love her just the same
Crazy 'bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name.
Caldonia
Caldonia
What makes your big head so hard?
MOP!
I love her. I love her just the same
Crazy 'bout that woman cause Caldonia is her name.


I think the appeal is the romanticization of tall women with big feet...

The other song is American Girl, by Tom Petty.

[lunchwithsylvia]

not a pretty girl- ani difranco

I am not a pretty girl
that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distess
and I don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

I am not an angry girl
but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
every time I say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling

and I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
and I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally I agree with them
trouble is you gotta have youself an alternate plan
and I have earned my disillusionment
I have been working all of my life
and I am a patriot
I have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl
no I want to be more than a pretty girl

[glitterfly]

"For You To Notice" by Dashboard Confessional

I'm starting to fashion an idea in my head
where I would impress you
with every single word I said.
Would come out insightful or brave or smooth or charming
and you'd want to call me
And I would be there every time
you'd need me
I'd be there every time...
But for now I'll look so longingly
waiting...
For you to want me, for you need me, for you to notice me

[Cuilanië]

Hi all!
Today I'm wavering between "Losing My Religion" by REM and "Springtime in Vienna" by The Tragically Hip...

Instructions from the manual
could not have been more plain
the blues are still required
the blues are still required again
past territorial piss-posts
past whispers in the closets
past screamin' from the rooftops
we live to survive our paradoxes

Men here of the secret
the pass in upholstered silence
they only exist in crisis
they only exist in silence
past territorial piss-posts
past whispers in the closets
past screamin' from the rooftops
we live to survive our paradoxes
we'll live to survive our paradoxes

I'm thinking of making this into a travelling LMAO, where everyone would add a track to a CD and make a page for the sleeve booklet. I'd then copy the CD, assemble the booklet, and mail it out to everyone. Anyone interested?

[LaughAtlantis]

That's so random! I was thinking of a Tragically Hip song too!


The beautiful lull, the dangerous tug
We get to feel small from high up above
And after a glimpse over the top
The rest of the world becomes a gift shop

The pendulum swings for the horse like a man
Out over the rim is ice cream to him
The beautiful lull, the dangerous tug
we get to feel small but not out of place at all

We're forced to bed but we're free to dream
All us human extras, all us herded beings
And after a glimpse over the top
The rest of the world becomes a gift shop

I don't know what to believe, sometimes I even forget
And if it's a lie, terrorists made me say it
The beautiful lull, the dangerous tug
We get to feel small from high up above
From high up above


I would love to do an LMAO like this, but have no idea how to add a track to a CD as opposed to burning a whole CD. Never tried it.

[Ashley]

I don't know why I never saw this thread. Hmm... This is also random but I've been feeling like Losing My Religion by REM too. That's kind of funny. I'll put the parts that I identify with right now instead of the whole song.

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I"ve said too much
I set it up

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

[Cuilanië]

Oh cool! :D

OK, I'll check the directions for adding a track to a CD, then create the LMAO.
Look for it sometime next week!

Yippee!

[velma]

It depends on who I am! But, one song that hit home the moment I heard it & still runs through me is "River of Deceit" by the late, great Layne Staley.


My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

The River of Deceit pulls down, oh oh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen

On the other hand...

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a wistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

Always look on the bright side of life!
(whistle)

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...

(whistle)
Come on!

Always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)

That's from Monty Python isn't it? I love them.

[medeous]

this is a lovely thread- it needs a bump.

When I Grow Up by Garbage

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise
To freak you out
We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables
Trying hard to
Fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables
Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle when
When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables
Don't take offense
Can I make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go

World Go Round - No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom



In the quickness of our haste
It seems we forget how to live
The old blueprint
No longer manifests itself
As the correct way to exist

Wipe the grime off of the view hole
And please take a closer look
Environmental bandits
Up to their shenanigans
Crooks disguised......


We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

Our individual roles we think
Not so importamt to the plot
The big picture unseen
Leaving life in between
Destroyed and overwrought

There's no need to point the finger
We understand who takes the blame
Delinquents caught
Red-handed in the act
Crooks disguised as you and I

We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round

You see there's many many many
People in the workd
And I'm not sure if I like
What I've heard
I'm not sure if I like
What I'm doing myself
I'm not sure if I like how it turns

Degradation
Violation
Inexcusable exploitation
It's the dawning of a new era
People conciously don't care
How unfair


We've got to find another way
To make the world go 'round





and.....



Be Still - Los Lobos - The Neighborhood

Let the calm, calm blue waters through
Wash your soul - passing right through you
Like the smallest rose out of the hardest ground
Like a tiny hand
Reaching up for the sun

Let us hope that our hearts are one
The toughest love is the strongest one
Like a crippled man fights his bitter pain
On two tired legs that hope to walk again

Just stay gold and be still

Let the pure, pure blue waters through
Don't let the wind take them away
From you - like the littlest star
Shines in the darkest night -
Like a mother's ache brings in a new life

Just stay gold and be still
Pray that we can all stay gold and
Be still

The Grouch Anthem
sung by Oscar The Grouch and The Grouch Chorus

Announcer: Please rise for the Grouch Anthem.

Oscar: No, no, no. For the Grouch Anthem, you stay sitting down. Down in front there! Now brace yourself, I'm gonna sing:

Grouches of the world unite!
Stand up for your grouchly rights!
Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain
Just stand up and complain (heheheh)

Let this be the grouches' cause:
Point out everybody's flaws!
Something is wrong with everything
Except the way I sing!

(Cue Grouch Choir ooing in the background)

Spoken:
You know what's right with this world? Nuttin!
You know what gets me hot under the collar? You name it!
And the next time some goody-two-shoes smiles and tells you to have a nice day, just remember:

Sung:
Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain,
Just stand up and complain!
Just stand up and complain!

Dear Jessie
written by Madonna and Patrick Leonard
-------------------------
Baby face don't grow so fast
Make a special wish that will always last
Rub this magic lantern
He will make your dreams come true for you

Ride the rainbow to the other side
Catch a falling star and then take a ride
To the river that sings and the clover that
Brings good luck to you, it's all true

Chorus:

Pink elephants and lemonade, dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day, dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade

If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons, for you

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade

(chorus)

Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade

On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves
Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby
Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips
Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed
Never forget what I said, hang on you're already there

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old
Where dreams are made, your love parade

(chorus)

Sarah Maclaughlin's

Fallen



Heaven Bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I tried my best
But somewhere long the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
But the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

We all begin out with good intent
When love is raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our back the burdens time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
I've held so dear

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand
I've nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to these I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one wrong step one slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem away to be revealed

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here and
Tell me I told you so

[sarahkate]

my anthem for today...

While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
While I waited I was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I was wasting away

I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?
I never, never wanted this
But from the start I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
How could I have become?

From The Great Disappointment by A.F.I.

[chunkymonkey]

song I highly identify with is "beautiful" by belle and sebastian

printable version
She lay in bed all night watching the colours change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change
She lay in bed all night watching the morning change into green and gold

The doctor told her years ago that she was ill
The doctor told her years ago to take a pill
The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind if she wasn't careful


They let Lisa go blind
The world was at her feet and she was looking down
They let Lisa go blind
And everyone she knew thought she was beautiful
Only slightly mental
Beautiful, only temperamental
Beautiful, only slightly mental
Beautiful

She thought it would be fun to try photography
She thought it would be fun to try pornography
She thought it would be fun to try most anything
She was tired of sleeping

They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind
They let Lisa go blind
She's looking like a queen
But if you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her
And talk to her
If you knew what's going on in her life
What's going on in her life
There would be a documentary on Radio 4

She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
She thought it was the answer to the fashion blues
She mad herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes
But she walked with a limp

[Penster]

I'm a little pea
I love the sky the trees
I'm a teeny tiny little ant
Checking out this and that
I am nothing
So you have nothing to hide
And I'm a pacifist
So I can fuck your shit up
Oh yeah I'm small

Fuck you asshole
You homophobic redneck dick
big and tough and macho
You can kick my ass
So fucking what


This is my anthem every day :P

[venus28976]

Lately this song or Standing outside the Fire by Garth Brooks have been my anthems


Somebody
-Reba McEntire
In a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's about ready to give up

That's when she says I've been there before, but keep on lookin', cause maybe who you're lookin' for is
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the mornin' train
Somebody in the coffee shop, that you walk right by every day
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there, there's somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper But today he reads a stranger's face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
From two floors up
Maybe she's the one Maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the mornin' train
Somebody in the coffee shop, that you walk right by every day
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there, there's somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waitin' on

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the mornin' train
Somebody in the coffee shop, that you walk right by every day
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh, somewhere out there
Is somebody

[medeous]

today i feel like this:

like the weather - 10,000 maniacs
The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime.
Now I'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day
while here I lie
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward.
For it is such a long time since my better days.
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away.

The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake.

UNWRITTEN LAW LYRICS

Save Me


Had a bad day, don't talk to me,
gonna ride this out,
My little black heart, breaks apart,
with your big mouth.

And I'm sick of my sickness
Don't touch me, you'll get this.
I'm useless, lazy, perverted,
and you hate me.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake up call,
And everything, everything's my fault.

Went to the doctor, and I asked her,
to make this stop.(whoa)
Got medication, a new addiction,
Fucken thanks a lot.

Had to relapse, I'm outta rehab,
It ruined everything.(whoa)
So point your finger, at the singer,
He's in the pharmacy.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake up call ,
and everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't blame me,
Well I'm waiting here to take a fall,
and everything, and everything's my fault.

And I'm a death threat haven't slept yet,
Baby wide awake at dawn.
Helmet bad boy, tell the tabloids,
everything's my fault.

Whoa whoa yeah, write it write it,
Whoa whoa yeah, write it write it,
Whoa Whoa everything's my fault,
everything's my fault.

I went to heaven, couldn't get it,
For what I had done.
I said forsake me, you said you're crazy
you were too much fun.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
Well I'm waiting for my wake up call ,
and everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't blame me,
Well I'm waiting here to take a fall,
and everything, everything's my fault.

You can't save me,
You can't change me,
You can't save me,
You can't change me,
You can't save me,
You can't change me, (everything's my fault)
You can't save me,
You can't change me,

Everything's my fault.

w00t! Love that song! A trillion brownie points to you, slv!

Found this song last night: don't much care for the tune or whatever, but the lyrics seemed to fit me last night.

Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
Some of us wouldn't be lying if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no.
Nobody likes a child who complains and I won't be that child anymore.
Nobody likes a child who complains and I won't be that child anymore.
Some of us wouldn't be lying if we said were trying too hard.
But, it all works out in the end.
Some of us would be trying too hard to begin lying.
But... but, it seems to all work out in the end.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
But, nobody cares.
Oh no, she's not a secret now.
The wolves have smelled her scent.
Oh no.
Nobody likes a child who complains and I won't be that child anymore.
Nobody likes a child who complains and I won't be that child anymore.

It's what I'm listening to, over and over (not for the first time)... for reasons external to my own life.

Counting Crows - Holiday in Spain

Got no place to go
But there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico
She's got a bottle of tequila
A bottle of gin
And if I bring a little music I could fit right in
We got airplane rides
We got California drowning out the window side
We got big black cars
And we got stories how we slept with all the
movie stars
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drink my worries down the drain
Fly away to somewhere new
Hop on my choo choo
I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
She's my angel
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me
Cause she liked to scream at me
Man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new
Everybody's gone
They left the television screaming that the
radio's on
Someone stole my shoes
But there's a couple of bananas and a bottle
of booze
Oh well, happy new years baby!
We could probably fix it if we clean it up
all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
And catch a plane to Barcelona cause this
city's a drag
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain
Then fly away to somewhere new
Take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new

I tried to live without you
What a misery it turned out to be
Sorry for the time I doubted you
Can't seem to get nowhere 'less you're next to me
And everyday I wonder what it would be like
Just to see the one who's always be my side
Lookin out for you and I
I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
Love the life I'm livin though I'm looking forward to the day I die
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu

So glad to have a love that's true
And I wanna thank you now for seeing me through
I'll never be the fool to go astray
Gonna stick with you always
And every day I wonder what it would be like
Just to see one who's always be my side
Lookin out for you and I
I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
Love the life I'm livin though I'm looking forward to the day I die
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu

I'll never be enough to give what you give me
But I could sing my heart out for you and tell everybody
All that he asks of us is only to believe
Dissapear your low low lows and your woe woe woes
Just like that, it's nature fact
I can't wait'til he gets back

I do my best to do right got to get to the way up high
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu
Love the life I'm livin though I'm looking forward to the day I die
Oh my lord, I can't wait to meetchu

Peace Train
by Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

[lemur]

This is the way I feel at the moment...(well okay a looonnng moment) blah.

:mellow::mellow::mellow:

Just Reach Out
Sometimes the night seems to go on for days
When it's hard to see the light through the darkness and haze
While the world around you makes you feel out of place
And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to face

(Chorus)
Just reach out and He'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out, and He'll reach in

Standing in a crowd, but still all alone
Crying out for answers that nobody knows
Everybody's busy looking out for themselves
Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else?

You say you've walked ten thousand steps away
But don't you know that it's only one step back?
Because the One who hears you when you pray
Is the One who's the beside you
And He'll never walk away
