If ever lyrics summed up YOU..... What are they? Part II

"Slow Down"

So far from where I started out.
So far from where I wanna be.
Listening for answers in the wind,
But can't find a rock to plant my feet.
Looking for love in all the wrong places.
Down on my knees and now I'm praying for patience.
I know there's gotta be a better way.
In the back of my mind I hear my father say

Slow down baby
ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future,
Run from your past.
You need to slow down before you go down baby.

Thinking the faster that I go
The faster that I will reach my goal
The race is not given to the swift
But to the one who endureth.
I thought that all of my obstacles were behind me.
Walking around like I'm made out of diamond.
I tripped and fell and it reminded me to move over and let the angels guide me.


Slow down baby
ya goin to fast.
You got your hands in the air
With your Feet on the gas.
You 'bout to wreck your future,
Run from your past.
You need to slow down before you go down baby.

Sometimes you gotta be still, before you can get ahead.
Be still, ask the universe for help be real.
You can't do it all by yourself... Ah, No...No...

I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son

The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"

They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"

It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash

Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

Maybe we could make it all right
We could make it better sometime
Maybe we could make it happen baby
We could keep trying
but things will never change
So I don’t look back
Still I’m dying with every step I take
But I don’t look back
Just a little, little bit better
Good enough to waste some time
Tell me would it make you happy baby
We could keep trying
but things will never change
So I don’t look back
Still I’m dying with every step I take
But I don’t look back
We could keep trying
but things will never change
So I don’t look back
Still I’m dying with every step I take
But I don’t look back
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
And it hurts with every heartbeat
It hurts wïth every heartbeat

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Talking to myself all the way to the station
Pictures in my head of the final destination
All lined up
(all the ones that aren`t allowed to stay)
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save a place from the cuts and the scratches
Tried to overcome the complications and the catches
Nothing ever grows and the sun doesnt shine all day
Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Tried to save myself but myself keeps slipping away

Certainly not now, but a eerily accurate depiction of how things used to be...

DEACON BLUES

This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand
It seems like only yesterday
I gazed through the glass
At ramblers
Wild gamblers
That's all in the past

You call me a fool
You say it's a crazy scheme
This one's for real
I already bought the dream
So useless to ask me why
Throw a kiss and say goodbye
I'll make it this time
I'm ready to cross that fine line


CHORUS:
I'll learn to work the saxophone
I'll play just what I feel
Drink Scotch whisky all night long
And die behind the wheel
They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues

My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home


CHORUS

This is the night
Of the expanding the man
I take one last drag
As I approach the stand
I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be


CHORUS


tA

Wherever you are
Its 3 A.m. and Im awake
Imagine the light
Upon your blue transparent face
Through coloured glass
It filters down to warmest red
Faded.. Im the one who reads your mind
See my life in your design
True companion at your side
Youre gracious and good
When all around is turning bad
Restless and brave
When laid upon suburban grass
Your timing is right
Remove the sad persistent thought
Hold the course
Im the one who reads your mind
Sees my life in your design
True companion at your side
Ill give you something
for when Im not around
to make you smile
and if you think it then it must be true
if only I could make it through
climb into my bed
wherever you are
wherever you are
your timing is good
remove the sad persistent thought
hold the course
Im the one who reads your mind
Sees my life in your design
True companion at your side
Ill leave you something for when Im not around
To make you smile
Outside that wasteland
And if only I could make it through
If you think it then it must be true
Wherever you are
It's a mess, ain't it, sheriff?
If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

your song reminded me of this one biggrin

Your favorite food
What you like to do
Your favorite color
or any other
Thing on your mind
That you'd like to share
Cause I can stay here
And listen to every word
Because I'm interested
Can I be an instrument
For changing your life
Is that alright?
Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
of anyone else
Because I'm interested in your middle name
Now don't be ashamed, Naw
Its between me and you
Everything that we do
Let your guard down
Because there's a new girl in town
gonna turn it around
I hope that you are down
Because I'm interested
Can I be your instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?
Because I'm interested
I'd rather be with you instead
of anyone else
I'm wide open
No more secrets
No more lies
Don't wanna live like a fool
But I will
For you
So I'll beg
I'll scream
I'll call
I'll write
If that's what it takes for you to be in my life
Because I'm interested
And I'll be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that alright?
Because I'm interested
And I'd rather be with you instead
Of anyone else
Oh No
Because I'm interested
And I'll be an instrument
In changing your life
Is that all right?
Because I'm interested
And I rather be with you instead

Sometimes
I can't lay down
My past
Sometimes
I'm too blind to see
You laughing at me
Although you hit me hard
I come back

Some...
Some-times
You drag me on
No words to explain
Altough you through away my name
From your mind
I have to try
Although my heart is bruised by your words

Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes
I can't lay down
My past
Sometimes
I'm too blind to see
You laughing at me
Although you hit me hard
I come back

Some...
Some...
Sometimes, you drag me on
No words to explain
Altough you through away my name
From your mind
I have to try
Although my heart is bruised by your words

Sometimes...
Sometimes...

Away now
Take me away

Away right words

Goldsoundz by Pavement

go back to those gold soundz
and keep my advent to your self
because it's nothing i don't like
is it a crisis or a boring change?
when it's central, so essential,
it has a nice ring when you laugh
at the low life opinions
and they're coming to the chorus now...
i keep your address to myself 'cause we need secrets
we need secrets crets crets crets crets crets back right now

because i never wanna make you feel
that you're social
never ignorant soul
believe in what you wanna do
and do you think that is a major flaw
when they rise up in the falling rain
and if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
the trial's over, weapon's found
keep my address to myself because it's secret
cuz it's secret cret cret cret [etc.]... back right now

so drunk in the august sun
and you're the kind of girl i like
because you're empty and i'm empty
and you can never quarantine the past
did you remember in december
that i won''t eat you when i'm gone
and if i go there, i won't stay there
because i'm sitting here too long
i've been sitting here too long
and i've been wasted
advocating that word for the last word
last words come up all you've got to waste


dunno why, but I connect with these lyrics!

Lie awake in bed at night
And think about your life
Do you want to be different?
Try to let go of the truth
The battles of your youth
'Cause this is just a game

It's a beautiful lie
It's the perfect denial
Such a beautiful lie to believe in
So beautiful, beautiful it makes me

It's time to forget about the past
To wash away what happened last
Hide behind an empty face
Don't ask too much, just say
'Cause this is just a game

Everyone's looking at me
I'm running around in circles, baby
A quiet desperation's building higher
I've got to remember this is just a game

So beautiful, beautiful...

My, my what a mess we've made
of our pretty little heads these days
It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true

You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

My, my what a mess was made of my head
when I heard what you'd been through that day
It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently
Letters meant to be sent have been torn
The phone lies off the hook, on the floor
All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless,
I fucked this one up long ago
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through


Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
the blaming myself had to come to an end

so I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You wont catch me behind the wheel
of a Chrysler ever again

My, my what a mess we've made
of our precious little lives these days
It appears a big fucking tornado
has twisted us up recently
Best wishes have been made for you
You never had no say it's true

You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
And all your lonely nights in the city of lights
are much like all these crowded bars
I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
And although it's all my fault,
the blaming myself had to come to an end
so I say:
Fuck you Aurora,
You took my only friend
You won't catch me behind the wheel
of a Chrysler ever again

I got it bad
You don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy
you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder
just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting
even though I know I should
The cold is biting
through each and ev'ry nerve and fibre
My broken spirit is frozen to the core

Don't want to be here no more...

Wouldn't it be good to be in your shoes
even if it was for just one day
And wouldn't it be good
if we could wish ourselves away
Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass in always greener over there
Wouldn't it be good
if we could live without a care

You must be joking
You don't know a thing about it
You've got no problems
I'd stay right there if I were you
I got it harder
You couldn't dream how hard I got it
Stay out of my shoes
if you know what's good for you
The heat is stifling
bunrning me up from the inside
The sweat is coming
through each and ev'ry pore

I don't want to be here no more...

There's a hope in my head
That's been cut and bled
Dry as your bloodshot eyes
And there's smoke in the air
And it's soon to clear
Revealing our demise
There are some who say
That it's a-okay
If it makes you feel alright
It's just way too bad
Now you're worse than sad
All locked up there inside

And I don't know how you feel
But I'll make you a deal
If you make it out alive
My shoulders and ears
Are all yours my dear
I hope it comes as no surprise
You've been known to say
That you're a-okay
When you're feeling sick inside
I just want you to know
I got no place to go
Until the day you die

While you're waiting
Be thankful for your fingers
I'll be fading
With the colors of your pictures
"I'm not crying wolf," you whisper,
"I'm really dead this time...
I'm really dead this time"

There's a hope in my head
That's been cut and bled
Dry as your bloodshot eyes
And there's smoke in the air

When you're feeling dead inside
I just want you to know

Until the day you die

While you're waiting,
Be thankful for your fingers,
I'll be fading
With the colors of your pictures
"I'm not crying wolf," you whisper,
"I'm really dead this time...
I'm really dead this time"

They locked you up
They threw away the key
Sutured your mouth shut
Murdered your family
Right before your eyes
What could you do?
Right before your eyes
They took it all from you

Your contemplating
You hanging from your ceiling
Can't help hating
You for having that feeling
I'm not joking when I tell you
I'd miss you all the time
I already miss you all the time
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure

I thought that you were joking
When you said you couldn't breathe
You said you couldn't breathe
Turns out that you were choking
On a town you couldn't leave
You knew you'd never leave
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From that one way dead end road
That one way dead end road

I thought that you were laughing
When you cried your eyeballs out
You cried your eyeballs out
And i don't mean to be prying
But what were you so sad about
What are you still sad about
Met your disappointment at the age of 9 years old
You were only 9 years old
From then on there would be no ointment
To take away these burns
To make that pain grow dull and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now

I thought that you were sleeping
When i found you there in bed
I found you there in bed
When i touched you you were freezing
It turned out that you were dead
It turned out that you were dead
It met your disapproval at the age of 8 years old
You were only 8 years old
From then on there was no removal
From your fucked up head and your broken home and forever ain't that long
When your smile's stuck in your head like a pop song
All you think about is death
Your dirty head has gone unswept for way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
For way too long now
I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure

Mr. Nothing's got a lot
He's got a lot to say
He's good at being what he's not
Gives nothing away
Another day goes on by
And he never speaks his heart
He takes his chance with what he's got
It's too late now to stop

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin'
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round 'till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie

Mr. Nothing is late
He's running out of time
He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign
Looks to the sky above
For a glimpse of what it means
And never never never make
Make no sense to him

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin'
You give and you take and take what you got
Round and round 'till it breaks and
You push and you pull and struggle with the knot
It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie

You push and you pull it
He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.
(George Eliot)

Byron

I got a penthouse in Manhattan, two more in Malibu.
I bought a '87s Cadillac Seville, girl I got a Mazarati too.
I wear diamonds on my fingers, I got a couple on my toes.
I wear the finest perfume money can buy,
It keeps me smellin' like a rose.

If you wonder how I do it, there's just one simple rule.
I'm just cool.
Honey, baby, can't you see?
Girl, I'm so cool.
Ain't nobody bad like me

C-O-O-L
What's that spell?
C-O-O-L

I might dine in San Francisco, dance all night in Rome.
I go any freakin' place I want to, and my lear jet brings me home.
I got ladies by the dozens,
I got money by the ton.
Just ain't nobody better,
Heaven knows that I'm the one

And it's all because of something
Yhat I didn't learn in school.
I'm just cool.
Honey, baby, can't you see?
Girl, I'm so cool.
Ain't nobody bad like me

Sing it baby
C-O-O-L
What's that spell?
C-O-O-L.
That spell Cool.


Listen baby
It takes a lot of lovin' and a little money
To be a friend of mine.
But baby, if you know how to shake that thing
I'll try to squeeze a little time.
Cuz I make love, love every mornin'
To who's ever by my side.
Well, you might say that I'm a nymphomaniac,
But it keeps me satisfied.

When I look into the mirror,
It just tells me something I already know.
I'm so cool!
Honey, baby, can't you see?
Girl, I'm so cool.
Ain't nobody bad like me

Sing it
C-O-O-L.
What's that spell?
C-O-O-L

Cool, that's right.
I'm cooler than Santa Claus, baby.
Ain't nobody bad like me
Somebody pinch me
I must be dreamin', I know that's right.
Cuz there ain't nobody bad like me

What time is it?
Is it time to get my hair done yet?
I said, What time is it??
Time to just walk and shake my head.
I'm cool 'til I'm dead.
Enough has been said,
Come on baby, let's go to bed.

All together now.
C-O-O-L.
What's that spell?
C-O-O-L

Band? - Yes!
Is anybody hot? - No!
You know why? - Why?
Cuz we're cool. - Cool!

Band? - Yes!
Is anybody hot? - No!
You know why? - Why?
Cuz we're cool. - Cool!

Yes! No! Why? Cool!

Oh, I'm so cool.

cool

"Changes"

I'm not suposed to be scared of anything, but I don't know where I am
I wish that I could move but I'm exhausted and nobody understands (how I feel)
I'm trying hard to breathe now but there's no air in my lungs
There's no one here to talk to and the pain inside is making me numb

I try to hold this Under control
They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes

I'm feeling weak and weary walking through this world alone
Everything you say, every word of it, cuts me to the bone
I've got something to say, but now I've got no where to turn
It feels like I've been buried underneath all the weight of the world

I try to hold this Under control
They can't help me 'Cause no one knows

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm going through changes, changes

I'm blind and shakin'
Bound and breaking
I hope I make it through all these changes

Now I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
When I get suffocated, save me
Now I'm falling apart, now I feel it

But I'm going through changes, changes
God, I feel so frustrated lately
And I get suffocated, I hate this
But I'm going through changes, changes

Calligraphy

Holding On To You by Terence Trent D'Arby



I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read

They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go

Wherever you are
Its 3 A.m. and Im awake
Imagine the light
Upon your blue transparent face
Through coloured glass
It filters down to warmest red
Faded.. Im the one who reads your mind
See my life in your design
True companion at your side
Youre gracious and good
When all around is turning bad
Restless and brave
When laid upon suburban grass
Your timing is right
Remove the sad persistent thought
Hold the course
Im the one who reads your mind
Sees my life in your design
True companion at your side
Ill give you something
for when Im not around
to make you smile
and if you think it then it must be true
if only I could make it through
climb into my bed
wherever you are
wherever you are
your timing is good
remove the sad persistent thought
hold the course
Im the one who reads your mind
Sees my life in your design
True companion at your side
Ill leave you something for when Im not around
To make you smile
Outside that wasteland
And if only I could make it through
If you think it then it must be true
Wherever you are


clapping Much respect for the Neil Finn shout-out. I love that/those album(s)

There is freedom within,
there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car,
there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing
me suspicions but there's
no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to
the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead
barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of
liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win.

Well, just to join in the Neil Finn lovefest taking place on this thread, allow me to add one of my favorites:

Turn and Run

There’s a light overhead
overhead
In the sky overhead
overhead
And I’m with you now in body and music and mind
And we’re silent and still
Everything’s so out of control tonight
In a plane that’s flying fast
At a speed that makes me cry
Have you left me now
To trouble that won’t let me lie
I’m awake all the time
You know where I stand
Holding my plastic gun
So turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there’s no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
You can’t break our love
Tie my hands behind my back
Put a gag on top of my mouth
But I won’t give you up
Till silverware’s covered in dust
And my shoes fall apart
And the tumbleweed runs
Over my desert heart
So turn and run
You cold killers of innocence
Against us there’s no defence
Your flash and your wickedness
Will surely bring you down again
Somehow we must stay afloat
Won’t give in to the undertow
Something’s you will never know
You can’t break our love
You can pull us down
But you can’t break our love

Solo

So low, the curb looks like a skyscraper
So high, the stars are under me
So quiet, i can hear the blood rushing through my veins
So low, i feel like i'm going insane
The angels, they watch in wonder
When u made love 2 me
Through the rain and the thunder
U cried in ecstacy

And u were so kind
I felt sorry 4 all creation
Because at the time, no 1 was lucky
No 1 was lucky, no 1 was lucky as me

And now u're gone and i just wanna be still
So silent, i'll just let my senses sleep

It's gonna be so hard 2 hear my voice
If i ever learn once more 2 speak

I'm so lost, no 1 can find me
And i've been looking 4 so long
But now i'm done
I'm so low, solo, my name is No One
