I Feel Pretty/Unpretty - Glee Cast

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today

My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright

Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so acute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me (hey)

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin'

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight

Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh

I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won't grow)
Oh so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make)
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
But unpretty

Breathing Underwater - Metric

Breathing Underwater

I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn't mine to take

I'll wait
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said we should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet, in the end it wasn't me

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Nights are days
We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
 
Dragging you Around - Greg Laswell ft. Sia

Dragging You Around

And what a shot what a blast
The night of the gun
And to think I never thought
I was the lucky one

And what a grand waste of time
When it's all said and done
As for you if you're waiting
For your explanation

I like dragging you around
I
Like dragging you down
I

Did it again
And then I did it again
You let me do it again
And so I did it again

And what a shot what a blast
The night of the gun
Big shot
Took it out on everyone

To make rhyme of it
Is quite easy
It's only reason that
Just now escapes me

I like dragging you around
I
Like dragging you down
I

Did it again
And then I did it again
You let me do it again
And so I did it again

And what a shot what a blast
The night of the gun
As for you if you're waiting
For your explanation

I just like dragging you

Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down

And then I did it again
(And then I did again)
You let me do it again
(And so I did it again)
You let me do it again
(And then I did it again)
And so I did it again
 
Overcome - Live

Even now
The world is bleeding
But feeling just fine
All numb in a castle
Where we're always free to choose
Never free enough to find
I wish something would break
'Cause we're running out of time

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome
Holy water in my lungs
I am overcome

These women in the street
Pulling out their hair
My master's in the yard
Giving light to the unaware
This plastic little place
Is just a step amongst the stairs

And I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome

So drive me out, yeah
Out to that open field
Turn the ignition off
And spin around
Your help is here
But I'm parked in the open space
But locking the gates of love

I am overcome
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs, yeah
I am overcome, yeah
I am overcome, oh lord
I am overcome, baby
Holy water in my lungs
Holy water, holy water
I am overcome

Beautiful drowning
This beautiful drowning
This holy water
This holy water, is in my lungs
And I am overcome
I am overcome, yeah, yeah
Heh, I, heh, I, heh, I am overcome
I am overcome lord
 
Waiting on the Sunshine - Sixpence None the Richer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GxpLYYUuG4&feature=youtu.be

I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
All the questions in the world
I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine

I'm waiting for answers
I'm waiting to figure it out
I took all my chances
I slipped through my town

I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
all the questions in the world
I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine,
the sunshine

Well it seems that my weakness
is sometimes my only strength
And in my incompleteness you get your way

I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
all the questions in the world I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine,
the sunshine the sunshine

I'll be around and I will find my way back down
yeah I've seen the sound of the sun

I'm going nowhere and I'm going to take my time
all the questions in the world
I can leave in my mind
I'm waiting on the sunshine, the sunshine,
the sunshine, the sunshine
 
Swimming In Your Ocean - Crash Test Dummies

For Nikki...


Swimming In your Ocean

When I'm sampling from your bosom
Sometimes I suffer from distractions like
Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you'll understand

When I kneel before your bounty
Sometimes I wonder if there could be really
UFO's that come from other planets

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you'll understand

And when you let me taste your fingers
I take them like fruit and as I linger I
Wonder if my seed will find purchase in your soil ...

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you'll understand
I can get pretty side-tracked
I hope you'll understand
 
Good Movie - Greg Laswell

Good Movie

Nothing worth to you
Not the mess
Or the pills down my drain
Takes a brave thing out of me
To feel a thing to you

Or else a good movie
So I could love you again
Or else a good movie

Nothing worth to you
Not the mess
Or the pills down my drain
Takes a brave thing out of me
To feel a thing to you

Or else a good movie
So I could love you again
Or else a good movie

To feel a thing to you

Or else a good movie
I could love you again
Or else a good movie
I could love you again

Or else a good movie
I could love you again
Or else a good movie

To feel a thing to you

Dave Nachmanoff - Descartes in Amsterdam

"Its good to be a stranger in a strange land
like a person incognito or a masked man
like an actor in a play, what shall I be today
Its good to be a stranger in a strange land

And its fine to unknown and all alone here
with no fixed address, no fax, no telephone here
Like Descartes in Amsterdam or a robber on the lam
It's fine to be unknown and all alone here

But you can call me a tramp or a vagabond
I don't care, that's the life that I choose
you can call me a scamp or a lay-about
I got nothing that I own
and so I have nothing I can lose

..."

Greetings Mr Leg
 
New Dawn Fades - Joy Division

Merry Christmas Mz Noor :rose:

Joy Division - New Dawn Fades

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.

We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'we'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else.
 
What's Forever For?
Michael Martin Murphy

I've been looking at people and how they change with the times
And lately all I've been seeing are people
Throwing love away and losing their minds

Verse 2:
Maybe it's me who's gone crazy, Cause I can't understand why
All these lovers keep hurting each other,
When good love is so hard to come by

Chorus
So what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what's Forever For?

Verse 3:
I've been listening to people and they say love is the key
And it's not my way to let them lead me astray
It's only that I wanted to believe

Chorus

I see love hungry people tryin' their best to survive,
When in their hands is a dying romance,
If they're not even tryin' to keep it alive

So, what's the glory in living?
Doesn't anybody ever stay together anymore?
And if love never lasts forever, tell me what's Forever For?
 
Kaw-Liga - Hank Williams

Kaw-Liga

Kaw-liga, was a wooden indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an indian maid over in the antique store
Kaw-liga, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

He always wore his sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
Kaw-liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

poor ol kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
poor ol kaw-liga, he dont know what he missed
is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-liga, that poor ol wooden head.

Kaw-liga, was a lonely indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the indian maid with the coal black hair
Kaw-liga, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer yes or no.

Then one day a wealthy customer bought the indian maid
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol kaw-liga stayed
Kaw-liga, just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.

poor ol kaw-liga, he never got a kiss
poor ol kaw-liga, he dont know what he missed
is it any wonder that his face is red
Kaw-liga, that poor ol wooden head.

Faith Hill

(going for completely over the top fluffiness, on purpose and only to make myself grin.)


I don't want another heartbreak
I don't need another turn to cry
I don't want to learn the hard way
Baby, hello, oh, no, goodbye
But you got me like a rocket
Shooting straight across the sky

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment
It's impossible
This kiss, this kiss (Unstoppable)
This kiss, this kiss

Cinderella said to Snow White
How does love get so off course
All I wanted was a white knight
With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse

Ride me off into the sunset
Baby, I'm forever yours

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment
It's unthinkable
This kiss, this kiss (Unsinkable)
This kiss, this kiss

You can kiss me in the moonlight
On the rooftop under the sky
You can kiss me with the windows open
While the rain comes pouring inside
Kiss me in sweet slow motion
Let's let every thing slide
You got me floating, you got me flying

It's the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss

It's that pivotal moment
It's subliminal
This kiss, this kiss (It's criminal)
This kiss, this kiss

Record Body Count - The Rheostatics

Record Body Count

Joey pulled himself to his feet,
Pulled his body back up the bank
and looked back down there.

Said the water was not that deep,
But I almost drowned there
You can drown in a bathtub
So they... say.

Someone in class called me a loser
So I decided to skip the day
(hey hey hey) skip the day.

Tried to look casual sneakin round the back
As I shotput across the track
Into the gate beside the portables

But a red tie and school gray slacks
Doesn't blend in with the grass
As the teacher was changing class

He chased me half way through the park
Till I ran into the woods
And I'm (very good) in THE WOODS!

So I was an Indian
Built a fire by the creek
And dried my eyes there.

There's a record body count this year
There's a record body count THIS YEAR!

Joey stepped up on a block of ice,
Put a rope around his neck.
Fell asleep before he died
 
Everything is Automatic - Matthew Good Band

Everything is Automatic

I miss my head, miss my heart, miss my lungs
Be what you want to be
Watch what you want to see
Killed for fun
Down a hole, up a rope
Down some pills, up some hope
This karma machine only takes quarters
New age soldier, new age soldier

Everybody's alright
Everything is automatic
And everybody's alright
Everything is skin deep
Everybody's alright
Everything is automatic
Everybody's alright
And everything is skin deep, me

Say hey, say hey, say, how ya doing?
Say hey, say hey, say, how ya doing?

I miss my lazyboy
I miss my TV
I miss myself
Do you miss your lazyboy
Do you miss your TV
Do you miss yourself

Everybody's alright
Everything is automatic
And everybody's alright
Everything is skin deep
Everybody's alright
Everything is automatic
Everybody's alright
And everything is skin deep, me

It's always what I wanted
It's always what I wanted
It's always what I..

Killed for fun
It's fucking funny, don't you think?
One day you'll decompose
And you'll wake up and those
Those birds are singing...
Those birds are singing...
Those birds are singing...

It's always what I wanted
It's always what I wanted
It's always what I...
It's always what I...
And everything is skin deep
 
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Broken Social Scene

Love Will Tear Us Apart

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold?
Turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal,
That we've kept through our lives.

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed...
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold.
Why is it something so good
Just can't function no more?

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear up apart again.
 
Burn - Ray Lamontagne

Burn


Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser
I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh mama don't leave me alone
with my soul sat down so tight
Just like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time

Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes I try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding

Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving
From the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
was just selfish and sad
To see you now with him
is just making me mad

Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
and burn in my skin
 

not fluffy, but I like it. thanks for sharing. :rose:



A Beautiful Mess-Jason Mraz

Lyics are included with the video, but I'll post them again.


You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man
And lift him back up again

You are strong but you’re needy,
humble but you’re greedy
Based on your body language and
shouted cursive I’ve been reading

You’re style is quite selective
but your mind is rather reckless
Well, I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is


Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses
Well, it kind of hurts
when the kind of words you write
And kind of turn themselves into knives

And don’t mind my nerve you can call it fiction
'Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions, dear
'Cause here we are, here we are


Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably
Have to do with your insecurities

There’s no shame in being crazy
depending on how you take these
Words they're paraphrasing
this relationship we’re staging
And it’s a beautiful mess, yes, it is
It’s like we're picking up trash in dresses


Well, it kind of hurts
when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt

'Cause here, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are
Here we are, we're still here


And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess
when the only answer is yes
And through timeless words
and priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure

But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh, the wait
was so worth it
 
One and Only- Adele


You've been on my mind, I grow fonder every day
Lose myself in time just thinking of your face
God only knows why it's taken me so long to let my doubts go
You're the only one that I want

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine


I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts


If I've been on your mind, you hang on every word I say
Lose yourself in time at the mention of my name
Will I ever know how it feels to hold you close
And have you tell me whichever road I choose you'll go


I don't know why I'm scared 'cause I've been here before
Every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all
You'll never know if you never try
To forget your past and simply be mine


I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
Promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts


I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
I know it ain't easy giving up your heart
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)

Trust me, I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me, I've learned it


Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me, I've learned it
Nobody's perfect
(I know it ain't easy giving up your heart)
Trust me I've learned it


So I dare you to let me be your, your one and only
I promise I'm worthy to hold in your arms
So come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts


Come on and give me a chance
To prove I am the one who can walk that mile
Until the end starts
 
Los Angeles, I’m yours - The Decemberists

Los Angeles I'm Yours

There is a city by the sea
A gentle company
I don’t suppose you want to
And as it tells its sorry tale
In harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
Its streets and boulevards
Orphans and oligarchs it hears
A plaintive melody
Truncated symphony
An ocean’s garbled vomit on the shore,
Los Angeles, I’m yours

Oh ladies, pleasant and demure
Sallow-cheeked and sure
I can see your undies
And all the boys you drag about
An empty fallow fount
From Saturdays to Mondays
You hill and valley crowd
Hanging your trousers down at heel
This is the realest thing
As ancient choirs sing
A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
Los Angeles, I love

Oh what a rush of ripe élan
Languor on divans
Dalliant and dainty
But oh, the smell of burnt cocaine
The dolor and decay
It only makes me cranky
Oh great calamity,
Ditch of iniquity and tears
How I abhor this place
Its sweet and bitter taste
Has left me wretched, retching on all fours
Los Angeles, I’m yours
Los Angeles, I’m yours
Los Angeles, I’m yours
 
Oats In The Water - Ben Howard

Oats in the Water

Go your way,
I'll take the long way 'round,
I'll find my own way down,
As I should.

And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust,
And breathe again.

And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down

There'll be oats in the water
There'll be birds on the ground
There'll be things you never asked her
Oh how they tear at you now

Go your way,
I'll take the long way 'round,
I'll find my own way down,
As I should.

And hold your gaze
There's coke in the Midas touch
A joke in the way that we rust,
And breathe again.

And you'll find loss
And you'll fear what you found
When weather comes
Tearing down

There'll be oats in the water
There'll be birds on the ground
There'll be things you never asked her
Oh how they tear at you now
 
Your Ghost ~ Greg Laswell

Your Ghost

If I walk down this hallway tonight it's too quiet
So I pad through the dark and call you on the phone
Push your old numbers and let your house ring
'Til I wake your ghost

Let him walk down your hallway
It's not this quiet
Slide down your receiver, sprint across the wire
Follow my number and slide into my hand

It's the blaze across your nighgown
It's the phone's ring

I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me

I can't drink this coffee til I put you in my closet
Let him shoot me down and let him call me off
Take it from his whisper, you're not that tough

It's the blaze across your nightgown
It's the phone's ring

I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me
I think last night, you were driving circles around me
