Mach

stunned
shoulder on
you're stunned
shoulder on you
get what you had to borrow
all it cost was some sorrow
go right where you are
you say that it's not that far

i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now

stunned
rolled around
you're running
from the crowd
you wait for the things to happen
it's just an automatic
shy, you're seeing through
you've got photos of me next to you

i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now

stunned
shoulder on
you're running
from the crowd
this is just the beginning
and you just think it's ending
go right instantly
you stay and are let in for free

i know where you can get it
i can see that you need it
let's go so you can taste it now
you can blame all the others
for your fake undercover
let's go so you can take it now
alright!

As an honest answer to your question, 'Susan's House' by Eels made me sit up in bed when I first heard it;

Going over to susan's house
Walking south down baxter street
Nothing hiding behind this picket fence
There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles
On the sidewalk where her house burnt down two years ago
People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy

Going over to susan's house
Going over to susan's house
She's gonna make it right

Down by the donut prince
A fifteen year old boy lies on the sidewalk
With a bullet in his forehead
In a final act of indignity
The paramedics take off all his clothes
For the whole world to see
While they put him in the bag
Meanwhile an old couple argues inside the queen bee
The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin

Going over to susan's house
Going over to susan's house
I can't be alone tonight

Take a left down echo park
A kid asks do i want some crack
Tv sets are spewing baywatch
Through the windows into black

Here comes a girl with long brown hair
Who can't be more than seventeen
She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl
In a pink carriage
And i'm thinking that must be her sister
That must be her sister, right?
They go into the 7-11
And i keep walking

Going over to susan's house


Oh, outch. confused

Very good!

don't it make you smile?
don't it make you smile?
when the sun don't shine? (shine at all)
don't it make you smile?
don't it make you smile?
don't it make me smile?
when the sun don't shine, it don't shine at all
don't it make me smile?
i miss you already... i miss you always
i miss you already... i miss you all day
this is how i feel...
i miss you already... i miss you always
three crooked hearts and swirls all around... i miss you all day

Thirt try rolleyes

This is just one of the lyrics that strike me, but the first to come to mind.

Sorry to myself - Alanis Morissette

For hearing all my doubts so selectively and
For continuing my numbing love endlessly.
For helping you and myself: not even considering
For beating myself up and overfunctioning.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

For letting you decide if I indeed was desirable
For myself love being so embarassingly conditional.
And for denying myself to somehow make us compatible
and for trying to fit a rectangle into a ball.

And
To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

I'm sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I'm sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

For blaming myself for your unhappiness
and for my impatience when I was perfect where I was.
Ignoring all the signs that I was not ready,
and expecting myself to be where you wanted me to be.

To whom do I owe the first apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

Well, I wonder which crime is the biggest ?
Forgetting you or forgetting myself...
Had I heeded the wisdom of the latter,
I would’ve naturally loved the former.

For ignoring you: my highest voices.
For smiling when my strife was all too obvious.
For being so disassociated from my body,
and for not letting go when it would’ve been the kindest thing.

To whom do I owe the biggest apology?
No one’s been crueler than I’ve been to me.

And
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.
I’m sorry to myself.
My apologies begin here before everybody else
I’m sorry to myself.
For treating me worse than I would anybody else.

I think I post this song every month. lol


My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off
Been a month since I've even heard myself talk
Only advantage this life's got on me
Picture empty cup in the middle of the sea

And I fought back in my mind
Never lets me be right, I got memories, I got shit
So don't you go and show it

Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand at night

On empty shells seem so easy to crack
Got all these questions
Don't know who I could even ask
So I'll just lie, and wait for the dream
Where I'm not ugly as you're lookin' at me

And I sent you to bed
Oh, in a little while I'll see now
If just once I found true love
Oh, I'd say it like I mean it

But I walked the line
When you held me in at night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held my hand at night
Oh, I walked the line
When you held me close at night
I paid the price
Never held you in real life

My lips are shakin'.

this song just shuffled on my ipod rose

The Rain Don't Last
Hope


Could it be the world's gone colder?
Baby, I'm a losing soul
The more I try it just gets harder
And my pain is getting old
Somebody said that nothing lasts forever
Just the storm so I've been told
But it seems that when it rains it pours

And you know the rain won't last forever
And you know the storm won't always flow
But if the sun don't shine forever
You gotta let it go

Sometimes my burdens get so heavy
And it seems too hard to bear
Sometimes I feel so empty
And it feels like no one's there
Somebody said that nothing lasts forever
Just the storm so I've been told
But it seems that when it rains it pours

And you know the rain won't last forever
And you know the storm won't always flow
But if the sun don't shine forever
You gotta let it go

And you gotta let it go...
And you gotta let it go...
Mmmm... Mmm... oohhmmm...
There is no perfect place
Yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
Thats not easy to do

Shanti1

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes
Your lips said "hello" and I said hi
I knew right then you were the one
But I was caught up in physical attraction
But to my satisfaction
Baby you were more than just a face

And if I ever fall in love again
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
and if I ever fall in love so true
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

Ooooh yeah.... the very next time she'll be my friend

If I say that I could be your one and only
Promise, that you'll never leave me lonely
I just wanna be the one you need Oh Baby
I just wanna be the one to serve you
Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve you
I cherish every moment that we share

And if I ever fall in love again
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
and if I ever fall in love so true
I will be sure that the lady's just like you

hey baby i made a promise, the next time I fell in love,
my love would also be my friend..
somebody who'll be there for me through thick and thin...
to love me, to hold me, comfort me.
Somebody who would be there with me all through the night.
(somebody just like you)

My friend, the very next time she will be my friend
someone who I can believe in
My friend, the very next time she will be my friend

My friend, the very next time she will be my friend
someone who I can believe in
The very next time she will be my friend

And if I ever fall in love again
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
and if I ever fall in love so true
I will be sure that the lady's just like you
