Sting - Fragile

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are

nothing beats brand new. NOTHING.



"K, here's your ride.
Get your petals out and lay them in the aisle
Pretend you are God, and grow,
And that it's your own day to wed
We have found your man.
He is drinking up.
He's all-American, and he'll drive
He has volunteered with grace to end your life.
We'll tidy up
It's sad to hold, but leave your shell to us
You explode, you firefly, you tiny boat with oars,
Feather oars
The world tilts back and pours and pours
And so, you satellite, you tidal wave,
You’re a big surprise
And I have one more night to be your mother"

Her signal was interrupted.
My baby's frequency not strong enough
Her head in my hands and smiling.

K, we will miss you but in time you'll get set up,
And we will write"

Hey, you beauty supreme.
Yeah, you were right about me.
But can I get myself out from underneath
This guilt that will crush me
In the choir, I saw our sad Messiah.
He was bored and tired of my laments.
He said, "I died for you one time, but never again"

Well I love you so much, but do me a favor baby and don’t reply.
Cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it.

I'll never have to buy adjacent plots of earth
We'll never have to rot together underneath dirt
I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd
I should be laughing right now

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of the truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

good one
That song pops in my mind at least once a week. Once it happens it takes a long time to get it out of my head.
One of my faves.

It's You That I Need, Enchantment

Something strange is happening
You don't belong to me anymore
It seems I'm all alone
In my dreams

I just feel so weak
No one knows the pain I see
When I'm all alone
Now that you're gone

My world is cold
My friends are few
Without you here
My joy seems cruel

When you left you took part of me
What can I do

It's you that I need, baby
It's you that I need
I'm lonely
It's you that I need, come back

Something's gone in me
You were my life, my mystery baby
How could you do this to me
Left me holding on to a memory

I tried, I tried to be good
Take you to a place no others could
I suddenly woke and found you gone
Now I sing my heart to you
Through the words of this song

Something happened to me
You were my life, my destiny
My life will never, ever be complete
Come back to me
It's you that I need baby, baby
It's you that I need
Come back to me

confession time.



I love Mary Chapen Carpenter

The song is a joyous song, so I'm not even going to explain why it's sad to me

the most pleasurable pain

UGH. The shit you youngin's will listen to

the fan-made videos for this on youtube are way too disturbing for me so I decided to just post one with the album's cover. The song is very moving, wether you subscribe to the ideal of vegetarianism/veganism or not.


Morrissey (The Smiths) - Meat is Murder


Heifer whines could be human cries
Closer comes the screaming knife
This beautiful creature must die
This beautiful creature must die
A death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER

And the flesh you so fancifully fry
Is not succulent, tasty or kind
It's death for no reason
And death for no reason is MURDER


And the calf that you carve with a smile
Is MURDER
And the turkey you festively slice
Is MURDER
Do you know how animals die ?


Kitchen aromas aren't very homely
It's not "comforting", cheery or kind
It's sizzling blood and the unholy stench
Of MURDER


It's not "natural", "normal" or kind
The flesh you so fancifully fry
The meat in your mouth
As you savour the flavour
Of MURDER


NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
NO, NO, NO, IT'S MURDER
Oh ... and who hears when animals cry ?

George Michael- A Different Corner

I'd say love was a magical thing
I'd say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

'Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And I'm so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you it's a breeze
Little by little you've brought me to my knees
Don't you care

No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is, is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

Bedouin Soundclash- Hush

Soon one morning
Death comes creeping through the room
Soon one morning
Death comes creeping through the room
You can call on your mother
your mother can't do you no good
Yeah, you can call on your mother
Your mother can't do you no good
Soon one morning
Death comes creeping through the room
Soon one morning
Death comes creeping through the room
So hush, hush
Someone is calling my name
Mmm hush, hush
Somebody is calling my name
Soon one morning some one will call my name
Crying oh my lord, oh my lord
What shall I do, what shall I do

Michael Jackson- Don't Walk Away

Don't walk away
See I just can't find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so you'll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray

Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When there's nothing left to do but walk away

I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But it's been so long now all I do is cry
Can't we find some love to take this away
'Cause the pain gets stronger every day

Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When there's nothing left to do but walk away

See now why
All my dreams been broken
I don't know where we're going
With Everything we said and all we done now
Don't let go, I don't wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Don't know where we're going
When Everything begins to set us free
Can't you see, I don't wanna walk away
If you go, I won't forget you girl
Can't you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
There's nothing left to do
Don't walk away

Bedouin Soundclash- Bells of 59

One afternoon I heard a sound coming down.
Coming down, coming down to the ground (come down).
And when it came it took a piece of me away.
It took away, took away, took away (come down).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.
There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.
And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.

Now in my soul there’s a song I sing out.
I sing it out, sing it out, sing it out (sing out).
And to the beat I feel my heart beat.
And then I breathe, then I breathe, now I breathe (breathe out).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.

There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.
And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.

If one day I cannot make it home,
Then let me go, let me go, let me go (let go).
And in my bones I can feel the bells low.
Singing low, singing low, feel my soul (sing low).

So coming down, coming down, coming down.
There’s a sound, there’s a sound coming down.
And in the night, in the night at first sight
Come the bells of 59.

The bells of 59.

Okay, the last BSC song I'll post and one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
Shadow of a Man
Don’t look at me with sad eyes, tonight
And can you show me, one more smile

And let the room shine through the light, oh no
Under the bed is clean by daylight

But I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

Walking down these bad streets
Looking at this, where we believe
To know that I can’t, ever leave, no
Until my footprint, wash to the sea

But I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

And so far as I know
And so far as it goes
I will be yours in too long, no
I will be yours in too long, no
I saw a man standing on that hill
Walking around like he’s got no one
Will I end up like him all alone?
Go and you go, I’ve got no soul

Where’s your soul gone to?
Your shadow, is coming through
Where’s my soul gone to?
I’m a shadow, of a man

Where’s my soul gone to?
Where’s my soul gone to?
Where’s my soul gone to?

I’m a shadow of a man, hey!

ONE - by U2
Dedicated to a heartless m'fer

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...

One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

This is my Org Muthafuckas theme song.

John Waite-Missin You



Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And Im still standing here
And youre miles away
And Im wondering why you left
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And its almost driving me wild
And theres a heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all
Since youve been gone
Away
I aint missing you
No matter
What I might say
Theres a message
In the wild
And Im sending you
This signal tonight
You dont know
How desperate Ive become
And it looks like Im losing this fight
In your world
I have no meaning
Though Im trying hard
To understand
And its my heart thats breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I aint missing you at all
Since youve been gone
Away
I aint missing you
No matter
What my friends say
And theres a message that Im sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I cant bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I aint missing you at all
Since youve been gone
Away
I aint missing you
No matter
What my friends say
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I keep lying to myself
And theres a storm thats raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I aint missing you at all
Since youve been gone
Away
I aint missing you
No matter
What my friends say
Aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I keep lying to myself
Aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
I aint missing you
Aint missing you
Oh no
No matter what my friends might say
I aint missing you

I love this song but it actually hurts when I hear it. It's so specific to the love of my life (toxic love)


STRANGE VOODOO

How can I love you boy when you dont even love yourself?
Im useless now as I have always been
Just like some worthless love song dying on the radio
We talk in circles til we dont know what we mean

No happy ever after, no big dark man
Aint no perfect situation, cant you understand

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

How can I help you boy when I can barely help myself?
Im useless now as I have always been
Your lying eyes, your thieving hands, youre such a rogue at times
But you will always be a part of me

No happy ever after, no big dark man
Aint no perfect situation, aint no master plan

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

No happy ever after, no big dark man, no
Aint no perfect situation, cant you understand

Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you I keep loving you yes I do
Loving you is some strange voodoo
Loving you is some strange voodoo

Loving you
Loving you
Loving you

I have several songs on my iPod that hurt when I hear them, Miguel. I call them my crying songs when I need to let go. Any other time, I can't stand to hear them.

John Mayer - Dreaming With A Broken Heart

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here
Is she standing in my room?

No, she's not
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part

She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love
Will you wake up by my side?

No, she can't
Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?

No, you won't
Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

The person that I dedicated "One" to loves this song. I have never heard ANYONE ever play or quote this song.

PJ Harvey - White Chalk

White chalk hills are all I've known
White chalk hills will rot my bones
White chalk sticking to my shoes
White chalk playing as a child with you

White chalk sat against time
White chalk cutting down the sea line
I know Mary's by the surf
On a path cut 1500 years ago

And I know these chalk hills will rot my bones

Dorset's cliffs meet at the sea
Where I walked
(Our unborn child in me)
White chalk
(Poor scattered land)

Scratch my palms
There's blood on my hands
