Yes yes she does.

You know who you all are.

Loneliness is worse

When you've had enough
when you've got it bad enough
and you can't let go
when it comes to blows
and you start to overflow
but you can't get home
it's a subtle kind of cruel
it taps my spine
here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking you please
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
I know the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
December's all alone
and he's calling me on the phone
but he sounds so cold...
he says he loves me so
but how would I ever know?
certain words grow old
it's a vicious kind of catch
it sides me blind
now I'm out of my mind
I wanna scream
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
love liked me long ago
it had a way of making everyone the same
but how the angels
(how the angels)
must laugh inside
(singing with me now)
with me screaming with you
and needing you this way
(needing you this way)
oh, why don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
I know the loneliness is worse
you've gotta try...
to stay mine
all the way
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
don't you wanna be
happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same
it's got a way of making everyone the same

With David Bowie

like it did for you

I kinda heard you singing
oh, I never knew

my heart skips around
when I hear the sound
I'm never alone
cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love
my walkman and me
with David Bowie

(you betcha)
with teenage medication
flowing through my veins
I can face the strain and
it's causing a sensation
that I can't explain
yeah, I can't explain
my heart skips around
when I hear the sound
I'm never alone
cause you're following me home
I'm falling in love
my walkman and me
with David Bowie
you want me to sing
I can, I can
you want me to play
I can, I can
you wanna be in a band
I can
I'll never be anything more than I was today
than I was today
(yeah)
and will it ever come?
like it did for you
like it did for you
I kinda heard you singing
oh, I never knew

my heart skips around
when I hear the sound

in a tree

Sleeping where I want

This is my favorite disease,
I am sleeping in his dreams
And the TV is on ,
It is seeping into me,
It is guiding my dreams,
It is only three
So it's jeopardy
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.

This is my favorite time
I can sleep until the phone rings
And I doubt that it will.
You can go and burst my tiny bubble
Blow me off without a care
But I am sleeping where I want to.

Twinstar

Flying, when all I want to do is die
Feels like your, flyin'
Oh God, I wish that I could, fly
You want to lift me up
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways, oh.

Breathing, when all I want to do is drown.
You keep on breathing and I keep on sinking down, oh, oh.
You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

You want to lift me up,
But you don't know, and you don't see,
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways,
I'm stuck in my ways, oh.

25

I'm afraid I will never change,
It's okay I'm not ashamed
I can say that my bed is made
You can bend me, shape me any way you can
Bend me, shape me any way you want me.

I maintain, I am not in pain,
How I try, not to place the blame
I came late to an early game
You can bend me, shape me any way X3
You can bend me, shape me any way you want me

When I was five, I took a dive,
When I was ten, I walked again
When I was fifteen, I kept my motor clean
When I was twenty, I got plenty
When I was twenty-five
When I was twenty-five

Get Back

I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.
It doesn't matter who you think you might be you are.
I misplace it and I don't know where it's at,
And I could find it but I'd never get it back...

Don't get it back,
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

I'm running out, I don't know when to stop.
I thought I'd wait till I saw the penny drop.
It started raining, pennies falling in my lap.
And I could spend it, but I'd never get it back.

Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get back.

Don't get it back
Don't get it back
The more you want it, the less you're gonna get it back. X3
I'm spinning out, I can't control my car.

Aurora

How could you be everything
We were cracking you up to be?
We're cracking ourselves up too.
We're cracking ourselves up to be you.
Had you in my hand,
Now, where'd you go, Aurora?
See you up ahead, but I don't know if I can go as far as you go.
Everything keeps happening,
And its happening to me.
I'm losing sight of its meaning.
You blew away the meaning.

I had it in my hand.
Now, where'd it go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead but I don't know if I can go as far as you go

And everyone keeps telling me that this is good.
I needed you to tell me it was good, too.

Had you in my hand,
Now, where'd you go, Aurora?
I see you up ahead but I don't know if I can go as far as you go

One more page of insincerity please

Waste of paper and ink
Biding my time
While fighting sleep
Preventing health
Trying to satisfy myself
The day is over
I can't get over it
I must move on
When it is gone
One more page of insincerity please

Pale green

I am fourteen
Wrapped in a white sheet
Rain's coming through the window
The moon lands on my feet

I am pale green
I think she laced it with pcp
I feel like i'm in hell now
I want my dad
I want my dad
I am somewhere far from seeing seeing seeing

And look at me now
It's seven in the morning
You're dreaming where it's storming
I miss you
I miss you without warning
I am somewhere far from seeing

 

[Svedish_Chef]

Break-up the song

I crawl out of sight for you dear
I melt with the night, I disappear
I won't have more fun with you
Never get drunk with you
I'm letting you go for good

I've pulled it apart for you dear
I wait for my hear to shift gear
I'll let you down for good

I'll never go back with you
Never shoot smack with you
I'll let you go for good
I'll let you go for good
I'll let you go for good

Tonight and the rest of my life

Down to the earth
I fell with dripping wings
Heavy things won’t fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world that’s why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes
And I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Gleaming in the dark sea
I’m as light as air floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
A weightlessness is passing over me
And I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life
And I
Everything is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms
I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
And I feel so light
This is all i want to feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life

Horses in the city

They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
It’s from another time it’s like a lullaby
But i don’t think that i can sleep tonight
So i count the streetlights
I count the stars
I make a wish and wonder where you are
I wonder if i’ll live
Long enough to feel again
Help me ’cause i’m falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don’t know what it is i just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
I played the game i dropped the ball i lost another friend
I gained a future but i can’t see where the future ends
I’d write a letter or write a song
But once again my voice just comes out wrong
Tonight I i wonder if i’ll live long enough to sing again
Help me ’cause i’m falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
I don’t know what it is i just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
In the city yeah hey
But they don’t seem frightened
As the cars go speeding by
So why am i so terrified to close my eyes tonight
I’m just afraid there’s no time no time this time
They walk the horses home at night right by my window
They pull their carriages along busy city streets
I wonder if they’ll live to run without the reins again
Help me ’cause i’m falling out of grace
I hang my head and hide my face
No I don’t know what it is i just feel out of place
No don't know what it is
Know what it is
I just feel out of place
And don't know what it is
Know what it is
I just feel out of place
Like horses in the city
In the city yeah

Hate your way

I hate your way
I don’t care what you say
I hate your way
I don’t care
And i’m only half there
So I don’t care
They can cut me down
’Til i’m the talk of the town
I’m a fool for you
Had to sell my soul but you were so rock and roll
I’m a fool for you
I hate your way
A little more every day
I hate your way
A little more
And i could leave but what for
A little more
They can cut me down
’Til i’m the talk of the town
I’m a fool for you
Had to sell my soul but you were so rock and roll
I’m a fool for you
You
And it’s wicked
To be so stupid
Man it’s stupid
To be so dumb
I’m getting crooked
I can feel it
I can feel it in my bones
They can cut me down
’Til i’m the talk of the town
I’m a fool for you
Had to sell my soul but you were so rock and roll
I’m a fool for you
I’m a fool for you
You were so rock and roll
I’m a fool for you
I’m a fool for you

Hold on to me

We’re the same and you don’t even know it
We’re afraid and we try not to show it
And you’re tired and i am too
So there’s only one thing you can do
You’ve got to hold me and tell me what you need
And don’t be afraid of what you’re feeling when
You know me then i’ll never want to leave you just
Hold on to me
When we’re apart
I still feel together
I still believe in a thing called forever
But we’re drifting apart
It’s true
And it’s breaking my heart in two
You’ve got to hold me and tell me what you need
And don’t be ( don't be ) afraid of what you’ re feeling when
You ( know me ) know me then i’ll never want to leave you just
Hold on to me
Hold on to me
We’ll drive away where no one can find us
It’s time to leave those dark days behind us
In my dreams it’s always you
So there’s only one thing we can do
You’ve got to hold me and tell me what you need
And don’t be ( don't be ) afraid of what you’ re feeling when
You ( know me ) know me then i’ll never want to leave you just
Hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Still believe in a thing called forever
Still believe in a thing called forever
Still believe

New year’s eve

Normally i’d be french-twisting my hair
And selecting the right earrings to wear
Oh it’s a special evening for most
Normally i’d be proposing a toast
But not this year

Because i’m here the party’s all around me
You’re there indifference has found me
I know it’s not in fashion
Wearing heartache on your sleeve
But i’m here and you’re there so who cares what i wear on new year’s eve

Normally i’d be knee-deep in champagne
I’d kick my heels up until neighbors complain
Oh It’s a glamorous evening for most
And normally i’d be upstaging the host

But not this year
Because i’m here the party’s all around me
You’re there indifference has found me
I know i should have dressed up
But i just can’t make believe
Now i’m here and you’re there so who cares what i wear on new year’s eve

If you’re flirting with some other girl tonight
I’m not flirting with some other guy
I just keep thinking how last year at midnight you blew me away
With the resolution that you made

I’m here the party’s all around me
You’re there indifference has found me
And tonight before the ball drops
I’ll grab my coat and leave
I’m here and you’re there so who cares what i wear on new year’s eve
I’m here and you’re there so who cares what i wear
On new year’s eve

Cheffie and Nina up in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Along comes little Cheffie
In a baby carriage

[modest mouse]

I only know of her music in passing, without familiarity with her solo efforts. But if Cheffie says she is cool, I can dig it. I dont know if your endorsement is a good or bad thing.

Mmm, nice title.

Sadly, I cannot find a listing for the local Taco Bell...so off to Texas to enjoy some Mexican spice.
