Come On Home - E. Saliers

Dark clouds are comin' like an army
Soon the sky will open up and disarm me
You will go just like you've gone before
One sad soldier off to war, enemies that only you can see.

Dishes stacked, the table cleared
It's always like the scene of the last supper here
You speak so cryptically that's not news to me
The flood is here it will carry you
And I've got work to do.

Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before
Come back here and shut the door
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.

There is fire there is lust
Some will trade it all for someone they could trust
There's a bag of silver for a box of nails
It's so simple the betrayal
Though it's known to change the world and what's to come.

Just come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before
Don't you recognize them anymore
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.

There's the given and the expected
I count my blessings while I eye what I've neglected
Is this for better is this for worse
You're all jammed up and the dam's about to burst.

I hear the owl in the night
I realize that some things never are made right
By some will we string together here
Days to months and months to years
What if everything we have adds up to nothing.

Come on home, the team you're hitched to has a mind of its own
But it's just the forces of your past you've fought before
Come back here and shut the door
I'm stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.

Hoobastank-Crawling in the Dark



I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything
For just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know
If the directions that I take
And all the choices
That I make
Won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more than
What I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

Help me carry on
Assure me it's OK
To use my heart
And not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever
Coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the
Ending to my story?

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more than
What I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

So when and
How will I know?
How much further
Do I have to go?
How much longer
Until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and
I just can't see
What's in front of me
In front of me

Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer
Is there something more than
What I've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark
Looking for the answer

Now - E. Brickell

Your mouth is red -- I'm picturing it in my head
I'm picturing you smile at me
I want you to be with me NOW
Your hair is brown -- I'm picturing it hanging down
I'm picturing it falling 'round those big brown eyes
I wanna be with you NOW
You're much more that this -- a spiritual bliss
No matter who I'm with I miss you
Your magnetism breathes through the moonlit trees
it's in the quiet breeze that's circling me NOW
Your face is bright -- I'm picturing it every night
I'm picturing you when I sleep
I can keep you with me that way
& your heart is mine -- I think about you all the time
I can hear you say to me that you wanna be with me
NOW
You're much more that this -- a spiritual bliss
No matter who I'm with I miss you
Your magnetism breathes through the moonlit trees
it's in the quiet breeze that's circlin' me
NOW

glad and sorry ~ golden smog

Thank you kindly
For thinking of me
If I’m not smiling
I’m just thinking

Glad and sorry
Happy or sad
When all is done and spoken
You’re up or I’m down

Chorus:
Can you show me a dream
Can you show me one that’s better than life
Can you stand it in the cold light of day
Well, neither can i

For My Girl

I can hear her heart beat for a thousand miles
And the heavens open every time she smiles
And when I come to her that’s where I belong
Yet I’m running to her like a river’s song

Chorus:
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love
She give me love, love, love, love, crazy love

She’s got a fine sense of humor when I’m feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Take away my trouble, take away my grief
Take away my heartache, in the night like a thief

Chorus:
Yes I need her in the daytime
Yes I need her in the night
Yes I want to throw my arms around her
Kiss her hug her kiss her hug her tight

And when I’m returning from so far away
She gives me some sweet lovin’ brighten up my day
Yes it makes me righteous, yes it makes me feel whole
Yes it makes me mellow down in to my soul

Foo Fighters-Best Of You

I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohhhhhh
Ohh

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Dinosaur Jr.-Keep The Glove

Hey babe, Where'd you go
Just left it sitting in the road
You can drape it all over your room
Sit back and let it shower you
Left it, hoping you'd see it, and wanted to stay
Wish someone told me there's a better way

The past will blow away
Don't mind if I have to borrow
Long as I come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all I could think of

Found this thing out back
Hope it makes it up for all I lack
They've all got a shot with you
Chance I had, I kinda blew
It's all there in that bag
Didn't turn out like I hoped
Guess it's a drag

The past will blow away
Don't mind if I have to borrow
Long as I come away
Something you'll dig tommorow
It's all I could think of

If you won't take my hand
Keep the Glove

Ghost of a Smile ~ the Pogues

You gotta walk that mile honeychild
You gotta walk that mile honeychild
Well I’ll show you what is hip
As we walk down leeson strip & I’ll do it for the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

You can’t take it with you when you go
You can’t take it with you when you go
You gotta walk, walk that mile
& I’ll be with you honeychild
& I’ll do it for the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long or I’ll be gone

Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long
Don’t wait too long
Or I’ll be gone

Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile
Just the ghost, the ghost of a smile

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
the poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows that the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their Momma or there dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
and a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black Joe still pickin' cotton
for ribbons and bows
Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you been discrete
So many people you had to meet
without your clothes
and Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
that's how it goes
and Everybody knows

Concrete Blonde-Days & Days

The dirty leaves are sailing
on a hot wind ocean
and the summer comes
and the summer goes and always has & will
and something somewhere
that you said goes ricochet
all through my head
and flashing like a neon sign
the time stands still

Hours of forever. Coming all together
at the crossroads of a minute.
And you and me were in it
And I never saw it coming,
never saw it fade away
Today, today, today.... Days and days

And still the whining of the wheels
sounds closest to the way I feel and
winter comes, and winter goes,
and always has & will
Another hour, another day, another year
you pissed away
Remember walking in the rain?
I'm walking there still.

Like every heart to beat before
and every wave to kiss a shore
I'm not the first, I'm not the last...
and soon to be your past
But every mourning, when the light
comes creeping in around my eyes
another future falls behind
the one I had I mind

Last goodbye ~ jeff buckley

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it’s just because I didn’t know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say ’no, this can’t happen to me,’
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn’t know him at all
You didn’t know him at all, oh, you didn’t know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it’s over... it’s over

Freak Scene ~ dinosaur Jr for scarlett

Freak scene


Seen enough to eye you
But Ive seen to much to try you
Its always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just cant believe us
Why cant it just be cool and free us?

You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)


If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms

I set my sights on you
(And no one else will do)
And I, I've got to have my way now, baby

You look like you're having fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out here I come

Chorus:

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in just a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

I want your love...

You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your lovin' arms
Watch out, here I come

Thrice-Red Sky

I know what lies beneath, I've seen the flash of teeth
conspiring with the reef to sink our ship
the wind? a cheating wife, her tongue a thirsty knife
and she could take your life with one good kiss

Can you see the sky turn red
as morning's light breaks over me
Know tonight we'll make our bed
at the bottom of the sea

I know the ocean speaks, I've heard her call to me
and smiling in my dreams she whispers this
(the stars retreat behind their veil
the clouds are clinging to your sail
the storm is coming can you see)

Look and see the sky turn red
Like blood it covers over me
and soon the sea shall give up her dead
We'll raise an empire from the bottom of the sea

when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
i will find you darling and i will bring you home

and if you want to cry
i am here to dry your eyes
and in no time

All of Me ~ Syleena Johnson

You give me love and no limits
You fill me up when I need it
You bring me joy, show me peace, bring the best out of me
Pick me up when I fall, stand beside me.
You make me happy, you set me free
You take the lonely out of me
I'm in true love, finally
And it's so fine, it's so fine.

When you do what you do, you pull through everything I need
And it's you that I see in my life, you're the air I breathe.
When you do what you do, I can fly across the widest seas
So just do what you do, 'cause it's true that you're all of me
You're all of me, all of me
All of me, all of me.

You make me whole when I'm broken
And when I'm closed, you stay open
Now I see what you mean when you say you're here to stay
'Cause you love constantly
And I thank you.

You make me happy, you set me free
You take the lonely out of me
I'm in true love, finally
And it's so fine, it's so fine.

When you do what you do, you pull through everything I need
And it's you that I see in my life, you're the air I breathe.
When you do what you do, I can fly across the widest seas
So just do what you do, 'cause it's true that you're all of me
You're all of me, all of me
All of me, all of me.

I Believe - Blessed Union of Souls

this one is expressly for Luna, since we couldn't figure out the name of the group last night...

Walk blindly to the light and reach out for his hand
Don't ask any questions and don't try to understand
Open up your mind and then open up your heart
And you will see that you and me aren't very far apart

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

Violence is spread world wide and there are families on the street
And we sell drugs to children now oh why can't we just see
That all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today
Money is our incentive now so that makes it okay

But I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way

I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year
She said she's never been so happy but Lisa lives in fear
That one day daddy's gonna find out she's in love
With a nigger from the streets
Oh how he would lose it then but she's still here with me
'Cause she believes that love will see it through
And one day he'll understand
And he'll see me as a person not just a black man

'Cause I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
I believe I believe I believe I believe that love is the answer
I believe that love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Love will find the way
Please love find the way
Please love find the way​

Can't Let Go - Mariah Carey

~My ALL~ Mariah Carey

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me right
Cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight

I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight


(thank you baby grrl for the trust and love you give me, everyday)

There you are
Holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn't I
Cherish you right
Don't you know
You were my life

[ Chorus: ]
Even though I try
I can't let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night
I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let go

Just cast aside
You don't even
know I'm alive
You just walk on by
Don't care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can't accept
My world is gone

[ Chorus ]

Do you even realize
The sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life
Do you know the
way it feels
When all you have just dies
I try and try
To deny that I need you
But still you
remain on my mind

[ Chorus ]

No I just can't
get you out of
my mind
I never can say goodbye
'Cause every night
I see you in my dreams
You're all I know
I can't let you go
Even though I try
I can't let go of
something that I
need so badly
You're all I know
I can't let go

for what it's worth, I love you. maybe in ten years i'll be charmed again.

Sapphic Fragment

When I look on you a moment, then can I
speak no more, but my tongue falls silent, and at once a delicate
flame courses beneath my skin, and with my eyes I see nothing, and my
ears hum, and a cold sweat bathes me, and a trembling seizes me all
over, and I am paler than grass, and I feel that I am near to death.
The stars about the lovely moon hide their shining forms when it
lights up the earth at its fullest. --Sappho

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

As an apple reddens on the high bough;
high atop the highest bough the apple pickers passed it by
no, not passed it by, but they could not reach it.

Sappho
