So, you've been trying to get ahead
But coming up empty handed
Losing all those friends you made instead
Oh you pushed your way up to the top
You got so tall you had to stop
Did you squint to see who you were stepping on?
It's your secret to success
That's causing such a mess

PHANTOM PLANET- BADD BUSINESS

Did you write the book of love?
and do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
and do you believe in Rock n' Roll?
can music save your mortal soul?
and can you teach me how to dance
reeeeaaal slooooow?

they were never yours to kill

right wing left wing chicken wing

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they can't tempt us
With their lies

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows
knee kigh
So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

I've got something in my front pocket for you
Why don't you put your hand inside it, and see what it is?
There, grab onto it, it's just for you.
Why don't you give it a little squeeze and say "How do you do?"

There's something in my front pocket
There's something in my front pocket

*puts her hand inside Mo's pocket*

"it'ssssss crazy! and sleepy! and manchy! lays beneath this many of skin. I wake up, I'm peacefully and my knees are open," and then patti goes on to say "in heart I am a muslim, in heart I am american" over and over again. where is this from? I heard it on a song sample, but I don't know the song.

bandages on my legs and my arms from you

we are accidents waiting to happen

under the oak tree tin all around me (genius)

The beatles.....lets pretend I posted "I am the Walrus"

Half a bee philosophically
must ipso facto half not be
But half the bee has got to be
a Vis-à-vis it's entity, you see?
But can a bee be said to be
or not to be an entire bee,
When half the bee is not a bee
due to some ancient injury?

Singing, a la di di
a one two three
Eric the half a bee

A, B, C, D, E, F, G
Eric the half a bee

Is this a retchid demi bee,
half a sleep upon my knee.
Some freak from a monagarie?
No! It's Eric the half a bee.

A fiddly dum, a fiddly dee
Eric the half a bee
Ho ho ho, te he he
Eric the half a bee

I love this hive employee
bisected accidentally
one summer afternoon by me
I love him him carnally
He loves him carnally
Semi carnally
The End.

Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me.
I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too.
I love to hear you moralize,
When I'm between your thighs;
You blow me away!

Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you.
I'll sit on your face and let my love be truly.
Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine,
And we'll sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play,
'Till we're blown away!


*Sorry for all the Monty Python lyrics - I'm going through a phase .

"You don't know what you've been missin'..."

That coat that I gave you,

All shiny and black

I'm sorry my darling,

But I'm taking it back



I don't want to spoil the party,

But I've got to go home

You can stay if you want to

If you want to sleep alone



Some are born to greatness,

Some are born to die

Never knowing the difference

Never knowing why

Some are born to change the world

Some never even try

But darling, you and I: We were born to cry

Black has become your favourite colour

For of all the things it can conceal,

And as we lie here together

I know exactly how you feel





It's time for me to leave this party,

But I've just got to ask you first

If you're only trying to make things better,

How come they always turn out worse?

where s this from?

Ich hab den Tag so oft verflucht,
als wir uns kennenlernten.
Ich habe alles schon versucht,
hab unter dem besternten,
Himmel Mexikos Dir meine Lieblingsplatten aufgelegt.
Du hast Dich nicht bewegt. Das hat mich aufgeregt.

Du sagst, Du findest zwar den Beat nicht,
aber Ricky Martin niedlich.
Der ist so unappetitlich,
wie wir beide unterschiedlich.

Baby, ich kann Dich gut leiden -
es ist wirklich wahr.
Doch das wird nie was mit uns beiden,
eines ist mir klar (so klar):

Du bist unrockbar.
Du weißt nicht was das für ein Schock war.
Meine Freundin ist unrockbar.

Wie kannst Du bei den Beatsteaks ruhig sitzen bleiben,
wenn Dir doch Schlagersänger Tränen in die Augen treiben.
Seit Du bei mir wohnst schallt jeden Tag Shakira durch das Haus.
Ich halt' es nicht mehr aus. Ich glaub' ich schmeiß Dich raus.

Du sagst, Du magst es still und friedlich.
Sei doch nicht so ungemütlich.
Deine Schmusemasche zieht nicht.
Pack Deine Sachen. Ciao, man sieht sich.

Ja, Du hast uns schon gesehen vor dem Traualtar.
Baby, das wird nie geschehen.
Du bist ganz und gar:

Unrockbar!
Unrockbar!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, unrockbar!

Doch endlich fällt der Groschen,
und Du beginnst zu moshen.

Baby, sieh es nicht so eng.
Fang jetzt endlich an zu bang.
dann hast Du auch bald kapiert,
dass der Rock die Welt regiert.

Unrockbar!
Unrockbar!
Unrockbar!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some
I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want
To dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on

All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see
How you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue

I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It’s the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm,
Want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It's too late now because
You have not been paying attention.

I was born a blank baby
And the world said to fill my head
I'm still a blank ababy
But the world would rather see me dead

I'm a shallow man
In an hollow land
On a beaten track under your command
And the sound
In my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs
who just fell down
But now it seems
Like a distant dream
When it all lived wrong
With our love supreme
And the sound in my head goes round and round
Like a drunk on the stairs who just fell down

The end of paralysis
I was a statuette
Now I'm drunk as hell
on a piano bench..

COME ON, COME ON!
COME ON, COME ON, DO THE DONKEY KONG!
DO THE DONKEY KONG!!

COME ON, COME ON!
COME ON, COME ON, DO THE DONKEY KONG!
DO THE DONKEY KONG!!

I said, I'm under that gun 'round here.

At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
At the bottom of the ocean she dwells
From crevices caressed by fingers
And fat blue serpent swells
Stella, Stella, Stella, Stella I love you


Well, she was my catatonic sex toy, love-joy diver
She went down down down there into the sea,
Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on

So good, oh yeah, right on

(There's something that's invisible,
There's some things you can't hide,
Try detect you when I'm sleeping,
In a wave you say goodbye...)

Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
For bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you’ve seen, seen too much
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth?
You can’t come down to earth
You’re swelling up
You’re unstoppable
Cause you’ve seen
Seen too much
And too young
Young
Soulless is everywhere


(I love this song .. ah I love Muse )

i am covered in skin
no one gets to come in
pull me out from inside
i am folded, and unfolded,
and unfolding i am !

Shivers
I've been contemplating suicide,
but it really doesn't suit my style,
so I think I'll just act bored instead
who can take (alt: And Contain) the blood I would've shed?


She makes me feel so ugly (alt: so weary) (alt: so ill at ease)
my heart is really on it's knees
but I keep a poker face so well
that even mother couldn't tell


But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a permanent shiver down my
SPINE


I keep her photograph against my heart
for in my life she plays a starring part
all alcohol and cigarettes
there is no room for cheap regrets


But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a permanent shiver down my
SPINE


She makes me feel so ugly
my heart is really on it's knees
but I keep a poker face so well
that even mother couldn't tell


But my baby's so vain
she is almost a mirror
and the sound of her name
sends a perennial shiver down my
SPIII-YI-YIIII-YI-YIIII-YI-YIYIYI-INE











Riddle House
The street is very wide
and I can't see across it
my house isn't clear to me
the cars move in between


Chorus And I say: Question
when is a door not a door???
and I say: "That's not right!
answer when it's a jar


The numbers soft as soap
and tend to bend in addition
they're much too wan for me
I'd prefer some consistancy


Chorus

The windows open wide
but I can't see out of it
the view is not very there
some-times I look for it


Chorus

@sunshine: that is such a beautiful song

@washu: what is it?


Remember me

Well we used to be the best of friends
And we used to hang around
Now I always see you and your new girlfriend
On the sunny side of town
Oh your body is the same and your face ain't changed
But your mind ain't where that's at
You're too busy hugging and a-kissing now
And for you that can't be bad

But I've made a deal with the clouds
Gonna turn that sun into rain
So you forget about your love
Come and see me again

Oh remember me I'm your best friend
And we don't talk no more
So if you're in the neighbourhood
Don't forget to knock on my door

Cause I've got to keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in

Now I stand upon your path
And I'm shouting up to you
Won't you come and give me a minute now
There's a message here for you

Me and a couple of old school friends
We're going out to drink
You can come along but leave your girl at home
It'll give you time to think

But you called at the last minute
Said that you were staying in
Well this is not a joke old friend
I'm a-getting sick of this

Oh remember me when she leaves you
And you come and knock on my door
Well I can nurse your broken heart
Cause that's what friends are for

Cause I've got to keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in
Gotta keep the feeling, keep the feeling in

Cells

They annoy me
They'll soon employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese, off our knees
And look for eachother in the TV screen

Never Never/The Libertines

I was sucking on a cigarette
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies for the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Why don't we try it again now
But my heart won't sing
Until that story's all been told
Yeah she buckled her spine, tattered my soul boy
Oh ain't that a wonder
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna be a better way
I'm still lying in the muck
and mucking down with you
Did you see this girl
Look, oh, never never
Can I stay here forever? (???)
Never, never, never you mind
I'll find it somewhere over the railings
Oh, but didn't I always say
There's gonna be a better way
Oh, I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
I was sucking on a string (?)
Where did that crowd come from?
They're all the pennies from the slot machines
Sells you back your dreams
That's fine in hell, boy
So that's fine with you
Oh, but didn't you always say
There's gonna to be a better way
Oh oh oh
and I'm still lying in the muck
Mucking down with you
Lying in the muck now
Mucking down baby with you

the randomest song in the world

I'm So Postmodern - The Bedroom Philosopher

I'm so postmodern that I just don't talk anymore,
I wear different coloured t-shirts according to my mood.

I'm so postmodern that I work from home
as a surf life saving consumer hotline.

I don't need pockets, I'm a pocket myself.

via walky talky, while hiding under the bed.

and put on a slide show of other people's nans.

and printed it out in wingdings, and gave it back to you.

I'm so postmodern I held an art exhibition -
a Chuppa Chup stuck to a swimming cap, and no one was invited.

and dye it purple, and pour it on the lawn.

then sing my life story to the tune of My Sharona.

and stand up to poo, at job interviews.

in the middle of August, and haunt golf courses.

and build my own shopping trolley, and only buy one nut.

in heiroglyphics on my neighbour's guide dog.

dirty tea towels to the Mormons, and pavlova to crabs.

through a megaphone, in sign language.

on a black & white TV, with the sound down.

push up against the door, then cry myself to sleep.

from the perspective of a possum that Jesus patted once.

soak myself in metho, and tell them that they've changed.

as a reading challenge, and clogged up a waterslide.

in my undies rolling in sugar, in the carpark of a rodeo.

I'm so postmodern I prerecorded this song,
and laced a message subliminally telling Shane Porteous to buy a smock.

I know that it is freezing, but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxi's, they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actors West side loft
Supplies are endless in the evening by the morning they'll be gone

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit

And I know you have a heavy heart, I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it
But me I'm not a gamble, you can count on me to split
The love I sell you in the evening by the morning won't exist

You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black
Just keep going to the bathroom, always say you'll be right back
Well, it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad
But what's so easy in the evening by the morning's such a drag

I got a flask inside my pocket, we can share it on the train
And if you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same
We may die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain
But what was normal in the evening by the morning seems insane

And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
The reasons all have run away, but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
Cause what is simple in the moonlight by the morning never is

And what's so simple in the moonlight now it's so complicated
And what's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight
So simple in the moonlight...

LIPSTICK ON MY FACE
THUNDER IN THE SKY
THE SHADES ARE DRAWN
DON'T ASK ME WHY

we were just two fucks in lust

- ah.. the Strokes

Something about her curves did something to my penis
She's got the curves, just on the Venus
DeMilo.

The end of paralysis. I was a statuette. Now I'm drunk as hell, on a piano bench and when I press the keys, it all gets reversed.

The sound of lonliness makes me happier.

Left my sweet soul
beneath the bedclothes
I'm not coming down
Walls have ears
but no one hears
when nobody's around

You gotta love everybody
Make them feel good about themselves
You gotta love everybody
Make them feel good about themselves
You...got...to...love everybody tonight.
You...got...to...love everybody tonight.
You gotta love everybody
Make them feel good about themselves

It's hard to hold the candles in the cold November rain

They are a few songs by the Boys Next Door, Nick Cave's first band.

I love those

Thanks, Washu

Calling on the stars to fall
And catch the silver sunlight in your hands
Come for me and set me free
Lift me up and take me where I stand

She believes in everything
In everyone and you and yours and mine
I waited for a thousand years
For you to come and blow me out my mind

Heyyyyy Lyla
The star’s about to fall -
So what you sayyyy Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so …
Smallll Lyla
If you can hear me call and I can …
Sayyyy Lyla
Heaven can I help you catch me if I … fall

She’s the queen of all I’ve seen
And every song and city fall on here (not sure about that bit!!!)
Heaven held my ?????
She rang the bell for all the world to hear

Heyyyyy Lyla
The star’s about to fall -
So what you sayyyy Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so …
Smallll Lyla
If you can hear me call and then I can …
Sayyyy Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I … fall

Heyyyyy Lyla
The star’s about to fall -
So what you sayyyy Lyla
The world around us makes me feel so …
Smallll Lyla
But you can hear me call and I can …
Sayyyy Lyla
Heaven help you catch me if I … fall

This is the first day of my life
I 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
I 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 realize 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 had 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 want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Then waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Chimes sing sunday morn
Today's the day she's sworn
To steal what she never could own
And race from this hole she calls home

Now you're at the wheel
Tell me how, how does it feel?
So good to have equalised
To lift up the lids of your eyes

As the mile they disappear
See land begin to clear
Free from the filth and the scum
This american satelites won

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall

See the steeple pine
The hills as old as time
Soon to be put to the test
To be whipped by the winds of the west

Stands on shifting sands
The scales held in her hands
The wind it just whips her away
And fills up her brigantine sails

She'll carry on through it all
She's a waterfall
She'll carry on through it all

She's a waterfall

i want something good to die for
to make it beautiful to live..

Are you hungry?
Are you sick?
Are you begging for a break?
Are you sweet?
Are you fresh?
Are you strung up by the wrists?
We want the young blood.

Everybody needs to know
It's the year of the rat

As they dragged me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
theories of conspiracy
the whole world wants my disappearance.
I'll go fighting nail and teeth
you've never seen such perseverance
going to make you scared of me
'cause haemoglobin in the key
to a healthy heart beat.
