Post a lyric that suits your mood June 06 Blue Veins by Raconteurs When I was surrounded by the world You were the only one who came And you were the only one astounded Which kept me grounded As the other girls thrashed my very name Then I looked over Just in time to see her smiling back at me And saying everything's OK As long as you're inside my blue veins Your blue veins Yeah, and the feeling that you gave me No matter what I do or where I go it always will remain And those who would enslave me To get to me must get past you and will have no luck 'Cause you'll protect me from all pain (That's true, you know why) You're the most beautiful Yeah, the most beautiful thing 'Cause anything else can't compare Must be the blood that's running through your blue veins Your blue veins Your blue veins And I know you won't deceive me like the rest And there's nothing you need to explain You always were the first one to believe me When I said to you girl I think it's gonna rain But I could be wrong Yeah, but all of these things, all these things They're all truly nice but ain't nothing Ain't nothing compared to the love That's running through your little blue veins Your blue veins In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Concrete Blonde - Tommorow Wendy It is complete now - Two ends of time Are neatly tied A one-way street, She's walking to the End of the line And there she meets the Faces she sees in Her heart and mind They say -Goodbye- Tomorrow, Wendy's, Going to die Underneath the chilly Grey November sky We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive We're shooting for The moon and smiling Jackie's driving by They say -Good try- Tomorrow, Wendy's, Going to die I told the priest - Don't count on Any second coming. God got his ass kicked The first time he Came down here slumming He had the balls to come, The gall to die and then Forgive us - No, I don't wonder why I wonder what he thought It would get us - Hey he, good try - Tomorrow, Wendy's, Going to die But God says jump, so I set the time 'cause if he ever saw her it was through these eyes of mine and if He ever suffered it was me who did His crying... Hey, hey, good bye... | |

So What~ Ani Difranco who's gonna give a shit who's gonna take the call when you find out that the road ahead is painted on a wall and you're turned up to top volume and you're just sitting there in pause with your feral little secret scratching at you with its claws and you're trying hard to figure out just exactly how you feel before you end up parked and sobbing forehead on the steering wheel who are you now and who were you then that you thought somehow you could just pretend that you could figure it all out the mathematics of regret so it takes two beers to remember now and five to forget that i loved you so yeah, i loved you, so what how many times undone can one person be as they're careening through the facade of their favorite fantasy you just close your eyes slowly like you're waiting for a kiss and hope some lowly little power will pull you out of this but none comes at first and little comes at all and when inspiration finally hits you it barely even breaks your fall who were you then and who are you now that you can't pretend that you can figure it all out subtract out the impact and the fall is all you get so it takes two beers to remember now and three more to forget that i loved you so yeah, i loved you, so what i loved you so what In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Just a bit of Fall Out Boy's "Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends"-
The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt (make my ears hurt) Oh yeah, you caught me. But I caught you one worse They say, "You want a war? You've got a war." But who are you fighting for? The tides out, the ship's run aground We drown traitors in shallow water | |

Try not to die
Try not to die Hold me tight I know there's something going wrong inside Tonight tonight The stars are bright Watch me close Because I'm looking for the last laugh For your entertainment I know you lie I know you lie Looking for the boys With the needles in their eyes Hold me close For the first kiss I guess I'm looking For something that just don't exist For your entertainment |

Lately I've been wishing I had one desire,
Something that would make me never want another, Something that would make it so that nothing matters, All would be clear then But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments, And watch it all dissolve into a single second, And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet, Or one foolish line 'Cause that's all that you'll get, So you'll have to accept, You are here , Then you're gone I believe that lovers should be tied together, Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather, Left there to drown, Left there to drown in their innocence But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter, I've read all of the pages and there's still no answer, The only words before I know will soon come after, It’s the only way it can be. So I stand in the sun, And I breathe with my lungs, Trying to spare me the weight of the truth, Seeing everything you've ever seen was just a mirror, Spend your whole life sweating in an endless fever, Laying in a bathtub full of freezing water, Wishing you were a ghost But once you knew a girl and you named her Lover, And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summers But autumn came, She disappeared, You can't remember Where she said she was going to But you know that she's gone, Because she left you a song, That you don't wanna sing Singing: I believe that lovers should be chained together, Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters, And left there to burn, Left there to burn in their arrogance But as for me I'm coming to my final failure, I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better, But still ended up becoming something other, Than what I had planned to be All right! Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers, And laid entwined together on a bed of clovers, And left there to sleep, Left there to dream of their happiness.

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand. Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man. New sensations bear the innocence, leave them for another day. I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away. It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand. On tenth floor, down the backstairs into no man's land. Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now. I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow. What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again. I'm watching you, I watch it all, I take no pity from your friends. Who is right and who can tell and who gives a damn right now. Until the spirit, new sensation takes hold, then you know.(3 times) I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling.(2 times) Feeling. Joy Division - Disorder  | |

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go And so I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized that I need you And I wondered if I could come home Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said, "This is the first day of my life. I'm glad I didn't die before I met you. But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy." So if you wanna be with me With these things there's no telling We'll just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides, maybe this time it's different I mean I really think you like me  In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Morrissey - I Have Forgiven Jesus
I was a good kid I wouldn't do you no harm I was a nice kid with a nice paper-round Forgive me any pain I may have brung to you with God's help I knowI'll always be near to you but Jesus hurt mewhen he deserted me / but I have forgiven Jesus for all the desire He placed in me when there's nothing I can do about desire I was a good kid through hail and snow I'd go just to moon you I carried my heart in my hand do you understand? do you understand? Jesus hurted when he deserted me, but I have forgiven Jesus for all of the love He placed in me When there's no-one I can turn to with this love Monday - humiliation Tuesday - suffocation Wednesday - condescension Thursday - is just pathetic by Friday - life has killed me by Friday - life has killed me Why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire Why did you give me so much love in a loveless world when there is no one I can turn to to unlock all this love Why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus - do you hate me? Why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? | |

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls Brought me here And where was I before the day That I first saw your lovely face? Now I see it everyday And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest What if I'd been born fifty years before you In a house on a street where you lived? Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike Would I know? And in a white sea of eyes I see one pair that I recognize And I know That I am I am I am The luckiest I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties And one day passed away in his sleep And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days And passed away I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong That I know That I am I am I am The luckiest In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer She dances while his father plays guitar She's suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down through the morning Cut it up Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything I want to be someone who believes Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales Stare at the beautiful women "She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me." Smiling in the bright lights Coming through in stereo When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely I will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful Grey is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play Mr. Jones and me look into the future Stare at the beautiful women "She's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me." Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely I want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that Believe in me because I don't believe in anything and I want to be someone to believe Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio Yeah we stare at the beautiful women "She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me." I want to be Bob Dylan Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be Mr. Jones and me staring at the video When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as can be Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..

My skin is like a map
Of where my heart has been And I cant hide the marks Its not a negative thing So I let down my guard Drop my defences down by my clothes I'm learning to fall With no safety net to cushion the blow I bruise easily So be gentle when you handle me Theres a mark you leave Like a love heart carved on a tree I bruise easily Can't scratch the surface Without moving me underneath I bruise easily I bruise easily I found your fingerprints On a glass of wine Do you know you're leaving them All over this heart of mine too But if I never take this leap of faith I'll never know So im learning to fall With no safety net to cushion the blow [Chorus] Anyone who can touch you Can hurt you or heal you Anyone who can reach you Can love you or leave you So be gentle... [Chorus] I bruise easily I bruise easily | |

Don't Change
I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all direction Resolution of happiness Things have been dark For too long Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I found a love I had lost It was gone for too long Hear no evil in all directions Execution of bitterness Message received loud and clear Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all directions Resolution of happiness Things have been dark for too long Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me | |

Waiting Room
I sign in my name I guess I have to wait a while I'm gonna play this game Call me up if you know how to dial You always had my number You need to be my lover Humiliation I'm in the waiting room [Chorus:] If we both want the love And I wait long enough Then the ground that we're on might be coming All I can do is wait for you All I can do is wait for you I'm all alone in the waiting room I'm all alone in the waiting room When you buried in solitude It can get real thick Desire is your only food It can get you sick You know you're so fine I'm over here standing in this line Just waiting in the waiting room [Repeat Chorus] While I'm in the waiting room A thousand thoughts I think of you Whatever you did, it's got me glued It's icky, it's sticky, ooo You're the one I'm dreaming of Why does this feel like wasted time? What a price is traveling love? You and me trapped between these lights Ooo, you're so mine [Repeat Chorus] All I can do is wait for you (I'm just waiting for you) All I can do is wait for you (You know you want me) All I can do is wait for you (You always had my number) All I can do is wait for you (You know you need to be my lover) All I can do is wait for you All I can do is wait for you Wait for you.

Delusional I believed I could cure it all for you dear
Coax or trick or drive or drag the demons from you Make it right for you sleeping beauty Truly thought I could heal you Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening Failing miserably to rescue sleeping beauty Drunk on ego truly thought I could make it right If I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare But youre far too poisoned for me Such a fool to think that I could wake you from your slumber That I could actually heal you Sleeping beauty poisoned and hopeless Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you Far beyond a visible sign of you awakening And hiding from some poisoned memory Poisoned and hopeless sleeping beauty In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

The more i smoke, the more i drink
The more i talk, the less i think The less i think, the more i feel Folks don't change They just reveal My mind is broke, my last nerve is shot What you want from me, i ain't got Two plus two will never be twenty-two So please don't tell me twice what i need to do There's no rules to lust Only passion, and it can be so unjust If we don't speak, we'll get along just fine Don't ask me how i'm doing 'cause i don't feel like lying Take me as i am Or leave me the way you found me In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

The Bitter End - Placebo
Since we're feeling so anesthetised In our comfort zone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home We're running out of alibis On the second of May Reminds me of the summer time On this winter's day See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end Every step we take that's synchronized Every broken bone Reminds me of the second time That I followed you home You shower me with lullabies As you're walking away Reminds me that it's killing time On this fateful play See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end See you at the bitter end Everytime we're intercepted Feels love like suicide Slow and sad, come in silence Arise a bitter mine (See you at the bitter end) I love to see you run around And I can see you now Wannabes, arms wide out (See you at the bitter end) Come on and reach inside Grab the gentleness inside here there is something wrong Heard a cry Six months time (See you at the bitter end) In six months time prepare the end (See you at the bitter end) | |

Hide And Seek - Imogen Heap
Where are we? What the hell is going on? The dust has only just begun to form, Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling. Spin me round again and rub my eyes. This can't be happening. When busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy. Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines. All those years they were here first. Oily marks appear on walls Where pleasure moments hung before. The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life. Hide and seek. Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here) Blood and tears, They were here first. Mmm, what you say? Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did. Mmm, what you say? Mm, that it's all for the best? Ah of course it is. Mmm, what you say? Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this. Mmm what you say? What did she say? Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs. Speak no feeling, no I dont believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth. Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs. Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit. | |

Oh, the night before Larry was stretched
Well the boys they all paid him a visit A bit in their sacks too they fetched For they sweated their duds till they ris' it For Larry was always the lad When a boy was condemned to the Squeezer Would fence all the duds that he had For to help his poor friend to a sneezer-- -- And warm his ol' gob 'fore he died Well the boys they came crowding in fast And they threw all their stools 'round about him Six glims round his trap-case was placed For he couldn't be well-waked without them When one of them asked, "Could he die Without having duly repented?" Said Larry, "That's all in me eye And first by the clergy invented-- --For to get a fat bit for themselves" "Oh and I'll be cut up like a pie: And me nob from me body be parted. You're in the wrong box, then, says I, For blast me if they're so hard-hearted "A chalk on the back of your neck Is all that Jack Catch dares to give you Then mind not such trifle's affect Oh why should the likes of them grieve you?-- --And now boys, come tip us the deck." Well the cards being called for they played Until Larry found one of them cheated A point in his napper was made For the boy he'd been easily heated "Oh, hold me the hokey, you thief! I'll scuttle your knob with me dodle! You cheat me because I'm in grief Ah, but soon I'll demolish your noddle-- --And leave you your claret to drink" Then the clergy came in with his book And he spoke him so smooth and so civil Larry tipped him kill-sour look And he pitched his big wig to the devil Then sighing he threw back his head For to get a sweet drop of the bottle And dutiful sighing he said, "Oh the hempt 'twill be soon 'round me throttle-- --And choke me poor windpipe to death. "Oh then sure it's the best way to die Oh the dead are no better the living For now when the gallows is high Our journey is shorter to heaven." But what harasses Larry the most And makes his soul poor melancholy Is he thinks of the time when his ghost It will come in a sheet to Sweet Molly-- --"Oh sure, it'll kill her alive" So moving, these last words he spoke We all vented our tears in a shower For me own part I thought me heart broke For to see him cut down like a flower On his travels we watched him next day The throttler I thought I could kill him But Larry not one word did say Nor change did he come to King William-- --And then did his color grow white. When he came to the old Dublin Chit He was tucked up so neat and so pretty The rumbler jugged off from his feet And he died with his face to the city He kicked too, but that was all pride For soon you might see 'twas all over Soon after the noose was untied In darkness we waked him in clover-- --And sent him to take his ground sweat Oh, the night before Larry was stretched Well the boys they all paid him a visit A bit in their sacks too they fetched For they sweated their duds till they ris' it For Larry was always the lad When a boy was condemned to the Squeezer Would fence all the duds that he had For to help his poor friend to a sneezer-- --And warm his ol' gob 'fore he died --And warm his ol' gob 'fore he died. | |
