for me its this







There goes my inspiration

todd rundgren & utopia


They say pain can bring out the artist’s best
But since you’ve been gone, I just can’t care less
Common sense doesn’t realize
It can hurt so bad
Everyday I sit in my garret staring at the floor
But my heart isn’t in it anymore

There goes my inspiration
My reason for creation
There goes my inspiration
I felt it fly away when you said goodbye

Me and gaugin used to party down
I was hung in the louvre, I was renoir’s pal
Vincent van gogh used to joke with me
Now they don’t come ’round
It’s all over town that the master’s lost his touch
I’m so lost I can hardly hold a brush

And now my palette is a sorry mix of grey and brown
And all the other art lovers stay away
’cause I’m bringing them down

Now I wander the left bank every day
Searching for my muse in sad cafes
Peddle my oils to the galleries
But they turn me down
Everybody says I’m a master of technique
But the style and the sentiment is weak

There goes my inspiration
My reason for creation
There goes my inspiration
I felt it fly away when she said goodbye

A Fine Frenzy: Almost Lover


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?


Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

The Devil Went Down to Georgia
~Charlie Daniels

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said, "Boy let me tell ya what.
I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player, too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Now you play pretty good fiddle boy, but give the devil his due,
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you."

The boy said, "My names Johnny, and it might be a sin,
But I'll take your bet - you're gonna regret 'cause i'm the best that's ever been!"

Johnny rosin up your bow an' play your fiddle hard
'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia an' the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you'll get this shiny fiddle made of gold, but if you lose the devil gets your soul!

The devil opened up his case, and he said "I'll start this show,"
And fire flew from his finger tips as he rosined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss,
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this:



When the devil finished Johnny said, "Well, you're pretty good ol' son,
But set right in that chair right there and let me show you how it's done!"
(chorus)
Fire On The Mountain, Run Boys Run! Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun,
The Chicken in the Bread Pan Peckin' Out Dough, Granny Does Your Dog Bite, No Child, No!

The devil bowed his head, 'cause he knew that he'd been beat,
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said, "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again,
"I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best there's ever been!"

And he played
Fire On The Mountain, Run Boys Run! Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun,
The Chicken in the Bread Pan Picken Out Dough, Granny Will Your Dog Bite, No Child, No!

just feeling mellow... not really feeling the words (entirely)
but just the song itself (i guess that doesnt count but )

"So Sorry"

I'm sorry
Two words I always think
After you've gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong

So selfish
Two words that could describe
Oh actions of mine
When patience is in short supply

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
Oh we, we could hold each other tight tonight

We're so helpless
We're slaves to our impulses
We're afraid of our emotions
And no one knows where the shore is
We're divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
That the answer isn't for us
No the answer isn't for us

I'm sorry
Two words I always think
Oh after you've gone
When I realize I was acting all wrong

We don't need to say goodbye
We don't need to fight and cry
We, we could hold each other tight tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight...


-- Feist.

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

[Chorus:]
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.

Come on tell me

[Chorus]

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see.
Just a fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.

Come on tell me

[Chorus]

I just want something I can never have

"Come Around"

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around so come around
I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart

Van Morrison - Into The Mystic

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

River roll on
Wish I could be like you
No looking back
And no heart that
breaks in two
You'll never now
What a goodbye can do
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
River roll on
Free as the winds that blow
Feelin' no pain
We just roll'em with the flow
No tears to cry
No songs to make you blue
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
Oh, I never thought that
I could ever feel so all alone
But I'm learnin'
The world keeps on a turnin'
Even though he's gone
River roll on
Keep rollin' endlesslyv
Down to the arms
Of the ever waiting sea
I wish that I had
someone waitin' too
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
I wish that I had
someone waitin' too
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on
Oh, I wish I were you
River roll on

rogue traders- i never liked you
http://www.youtube.com/wa...EZ6xPHGBR8

I'm sick of this dirty dress
I'm thinking I might do less, now
There's something I must confess, to you
You know how everydays
The same old everyways, well
I've got a secret to tell
I can’t contain it anymore
Who’s knocking at your door?

Hey! Surprise!
I never liked you, even when I tried to
Don’t speak now it’s my turn baby uh uh
I never liked you, and I won’t pretend to

Hey! Look twice!
I never liked you even when I tried to
Can't you see the curtain's falling uh uh
Is there a reason you’re still hangin’ around?

That’s right I’m waving goodbye
You always thought I’d play nice, well
You never thought at all
You look a little distressed
Am I looking my best, now
Here’s something you can’t possess

I can’t contain it anymore
Who’s knocking at your door?

Hey! Surprise!
I never liked you, even when I tried to
Don’t speak now it’s my turn baby uh uh
I never liked you, and I won’t pretend to

Hey! Look twice!
I never liked you even when I tried to
Can't you see the curtain's falling uh uh
Is there a reason you’re still hangin’ around?

How could it suddenly be that we've come to this?
I'll drag you down to me, and then I'll switch your place
So you're the one that's stuck here with a picture of my face

Hey! Surprise!
I never liked you, even when I tried to
Don’t speak now it’s my turn baby uh uh
I never liked you, and I won’t pretend to

Hey! Look twice!
I never liked you even when I tried to
Can't you see the curtain's falling uh uh

This song has been in my head today. It's strange because I'm not feeling very sad at the moment but at the same time I connect very strongly to this song.

When it's cold I'd like to die - Moby

where were you when i was lonesome
locked away in this freezing cold
someone flying, only stolen,
i can't tell, this night's so old,

i don't wanna swim the ocean,
i don't wanna fight the tide,
i don't wanna swim forever,
when it's cold i'd like to die.

what was that, my sweet sweet nothing
i can't hear you throught the fog
if i holler let me go
if i falter let me know

i don't wanna swim the ocean,
i don't wanna fight the tide,
i don't wanna swim forever,
when it's cold i'd like to die.

i don't wanna swim forever,
i don't wanna fight the tide,
i don't wanna swim the ocean,
when it's cold i'd like to die.

Time Waits For No One

U came 2 me
Said give U more time
Time 2 get yourself 2gether
Time 2 make up your mind
I want 4ever love
U want a one night fantasy
While I'm sittin' here waitin' on U
U know somebody somewhere's waitin' on me

Time waits 4 no one
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
And time waits 4 no one
If U wait 2 long
U can turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone

(Time, time, time)

I just can't sit around
Watchin' my life pass me by
So if U're ever gonna make a change
Better be right now, right now, right now!

I don't know if anybody ever told U, boy
But impatience is my middle name (My middle name)
So if my good, good… good lovin' means anything 2 U, babe
U better stop runnin' your game

Time waits 4 no one (No one)
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
Time waits 4 no one (No one)
If U wait 2 long
U turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone

U came 2 me
U said give U more time
But baby, baby, I could see through U
Even if I were deaf, dumb and blind

Time waits 4 no one (No one)
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody
(Time) Time waits 4 no one
So if U wait 2 long (2 long)
U turn around and I'll be gone, gone, gone

(Time, time, time) Waits 4 no one
Don't wait 4 no one
Nobody, nobody
No, nobody

Time waits 4 no one
Time don't wait 4 nobody, nobody {fade out}
Time, time, time waits 4 no one

"Verge of a Miracle" by Rich Mullins

Clung to a ball
That was hung in the sky
Hurled into orbit
There You are
Whether you fall down
Or whether you fly
Seems you can never get too far
Someone's waiting to put wings
Upon your flightless heart

CHORUS:
You're on the verge of a miracle
Standing there
Oh you're on the verge of a miracle
Just waiting to be believed in
Open your eyes and see
You're on the verge of a miracle

Here in your room
Where nobody can see
Voices are loud
But seldom clear
But beneath the confusion
That's running so deep
There is a promise you must hear
The love that seems so far away
Is standing very near

CHORUS

When you've played out
Your last chance
And your directions
Have all been lost
When the roads that you look down
Are all dead ends
Look up
You could see if you'd just look up

CHORUS

I said doctor, he said what
I said doctor, he said what
I said doctor, he said what
I said doctor, he said what do you want?

bkw said:

bkw!

bkw said:

Idiot.

Off the rails I was and
Off the rails
I was happy to stay
Get out of my way
On the rack I was
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
A reasonably good buy

The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
So bona to vada. oh you
Your lovely eek and
Your lovely riah

We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all lifes
Instructions away
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)
Cause in a belted coat
Oh, I secretly knew
That I hadnt a clue

(no, no. no, no, no. you cant get there that way. follow me...)

The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
Exchanging palare
You wouldnt understand
Good sons like you
Never do.

So why do you smile
When you think about earls court ?
But you cry when you think of all
The battles youve fought (and lost) ?
It may all end tomorrow
Or it could go on forever
In which case Im doomed
It could go on forever
In which case Im doomed

Bona drag ...
