"Suicide is Painless" from M*A*S*H Through early morning fog I see The visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be?" And I replied, "Oh why ask me?" Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please
"Marlene on the Wall" by Suzanne Vega Even if I am in love with you All this to say, what's it to you? Observe the blood, the rose tattoo Of the fingerprints on me from you Other evidence has shown That you and I are still alone We skirt around the danger zone And don't talk about it later Marlene watches from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As the records the rise and fall Of every soldier passing But the only soldier now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall I walk to your house in the afternoon By the butcher shot with the sawdust strewn "Don't give away the goods too soon" Is what she might have told me And I tried so hard to resist When you held me in your handsome fist And reminded me of the night we kissed And of why I should be leaving Marlene watches from the wall Her mocking smile says it all As the records the rise and fall Of every man who's been here But the only one here now is me I'm fighting things I cannot see I think it's called my destiny That I am changing Marlene on the wall "The Queen and the Soldier" by Suzanne Vega The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door He said, 'I am not fighting for you any more' The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before And slowly she let him inside. He said, 'I've watched your palace up here on the hill And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will Only first I am asking you why.' Down in the long narrow hall he was led Into her rooms with her tapestries red And she never once took the crown from her head She asked him there to sit down. He said, 'I see you now, and you are so very young But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun And now will you tell me why?' The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye She said, 'You won't understand, and you may as well not try' But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry But she closed herself up like a fan. And she said, 'I've swallowed a secret burning thread It cuts me inside, and often I've bled' He laid his hand then on top of her head And he bowed her down to the ground. 'Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed But I won't march again on your battlefield' And he took her to the window to see. And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray And she wanted more than she ever could say But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away And would not look at his face again. And he said, 'I want to live as an honest man To get all I deserve and to give all I can And to love a young woman who I don't understand Your highness, your ways are very strange.' But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait She would only be a moment inside. Out in the distance her order was heard And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred The battle continued on Posted by I can't make you love me I don't know who it's by, but it's sung beautifully by Bonnie Raitt Turn down the lights, turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power But you won't No, you won't Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I close my eyes that I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me til then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Hear in the dark in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't No, you won't Cause I can't make you love me If you don't posted by Marina, 10/16/01, too late at night God's Country (by ani d.) state trooper thinks I drive too fast pulled me over to tell me so I say out here on the prairie any speed is too slow i miss broklyn i miss my crew let's start over i missed my cue guess i forgot who i was talking to i should have recognized that fierce look in his eyes i've seen it in my mirror so many times he's gonna put his two cents in 'cause he's got a gun but i'm gonna put in three, 'cause history owes me one guess i came out here to see some stuff for myself i mean, why leave the telling up to everybody else this may be god's country but this is my country too move over mr. holiness let the little people through thank you for serving and protecting the likes of me thank you for the ticket now can i leave you know i have left everywhere that i have ever been i don't really recommend it though not like anybody asked me maybe you and i will meet again some day i've been known to come down this road maybe it's destiny maybe not i don't know Scattered (by green day) I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor. Reminds me of the times we shared. Makes me wish that you were here. Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life. All the songs have been erased. Guess I've learned from my mistakes. Open the past and present. Now and we are there. Story to tell and I am listening. Open the past and present And the future too. It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you. Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat. Gagging on a souvenir. Lodged to fill another year. Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds. Leaving myself wide open. Living out a sacrifice. Open the past and present Now and we are there. Story to tell and I am listening. Open the past and present. And the future too. It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you. If you got no one and I've got no place to go, would it be alright? Could it be alright? (and repeat the first part again, but I don't feel like typing anymore.)

she bends her breath when she talks to him i can see her features begin to blur as she pours herself into the mold he made for her and for everything he does she has a way to rationalize she says he don't mean what he do she tells me he called to apologize he says he loves her he says he's changing and he can keep her warm and so she sits there like america suffering through slow reform but she'll never get back the time and the years sneak by one by one she is still playing the martyr i am still praying for revloution and she still doesn't have what she deserves but she wakes up smiling every day she never really expected more that's just not the way we are raised and i say to her, you know, there's plenty of really great men out there but she doesn't hear me she's looking in the mirror she's fixing her hair "If I Can't Change Your Mind" by Sugar Tears fill up my eyes I'm washed away with sorrow And somewhere in my mind I know there's no tomorrow I see you're leaving soon I guess you've had your fill But if I can't change your mind Then no one will And all throughout the years I've never strayed from you my dear But you suspect I'm somewhere else You're feeling sorry for yourself Leaving with a broken heart I love you even still But if I can't change your mind Then no one will Even though my heart keeps breaking Don't you know that I'll be waiting Here for you Then when you return When will you return I hope you see I'm dedicated Look how long that I have waited If you come back then you will find A different person If you change your mind How can I explain away Something that I haven't done And if you can't trust me now You'll never trust in anyone With all the crazy doubts you've got I love you even still But if I can't change your mind Then no one will Someday you'll see I've been true I'll stay that way until But if I can't change your mind Then no one will
"Another Day" by Karen Savoca So it's time you're leavin' And I just got used to you I'm not ready to let you go Do you have to go so soon? Chorus: What if you changed your mind? What if you had another day? Maybe I'll hide your suitcase No, I won't say goodbye You're expecting me to cry Well, I won't disappoint you What can I do to hold you? What can I say to keep you here? I could drive you down to the shore They've got your favorite candy there Repeat first verse sniffle How many times have you felt like that? I know very few people who haven't. -Mitchell I wrote a poem semi-based on this song ( MagButterfly )...I think it's got a lot of strength and affirms some things I've learned in my time as a homeschooler. "Drive" by Incubus Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear. And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer. It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal. But lately I am beginning to find that I should be the one behind the wheel. Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes. So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive? It's driven me before and it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around. But lately I'm beginning to find that when I drive myself my light is found. So whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there with open arms and open eyes. Would you kill the Queen to crush the hive? Would you choose water over wine.... hold the wheel and drive? ~Maggie Until My Head Falls OffTMBG There were 87 Advil in the bottle now there's 30 left I ate 47 so what happened to the other 10? Why do you suspiciously change the subject and break my concentration As I dump the bottle out and I count the Advil up again? Don't interrupt me as I struggle to complete this thought Have some respect for someone more forgetful than yourself And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Hitting every pocket on my shirt, pants and overcoat And I'm hitting them again but I don't know where I put my notes Clearing my throat, and gripping the lectern I smile and face my audience Clearing his throat and smiling with his hands on the bathroom sink And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see stuff through the glass that I don't recognize at all And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I'm not done talking yet I'm not done talking yet And when I lean my head against the frosted shower stall I see a broken figure silhouetted on the wall And I'm not done And I won't be till my head falls off Though it may not be a long way off I won't be done until my head falls off
Everybody Hurts REM When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone, when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on. Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes. Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along. When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on) if you feel like letting go, (hold on) when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on. Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends. Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand. If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long, when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on. Well, everybody hurts sometimes, everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes. And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
I was listening to this song this morning, and it really moved me. There are four groups doing it in a round... it's gorgeous. Will Ifrom RENT Will I lose my dignity Will someone care Will I wake tomorrow from This nightmare

-courtney Fare Thee Well, by Pray For RainLook who's coming 'round the bend, it's you, friend Brothers in our mischief and our mystery Seven years and one we shared together Fared the storms and days of better weather And now it seems our ship has found a shore The flag still flies but she won't sail no more ~Chorus~ Oh oh oh, fare thee well Only time will tell what will become of All that we've begun, La la la, life goes on We laughed and sang our song but songs come to an end So good-bye my friends Fare thee well Some say go back and start anew You can't return to times meant for the past Believe me only one things stays the same Faith, hope and love and love remains And love has placed us right here where we are Time has brought some changes But not a change of heart ~Chorus repeat~ One more time One more time again Belong, Chris RiceFading memories ignored I crawl across the forest floor Pool reflects an orphan child Dirty, lost, alone and wild Fatherless and nameless still Fallen heart and broken, will There ever be a place where I belong I cower 'neath the monster trees And try to stand on tired feet But gravity knocks me to the ground Where I give up, and tears roll down I claw the dust and beg the end Curse they day that I began To hope there'd be a place where I belong I hear a sound I recognize You lift my chin and seek my eyes Song of love You sing to me I ache to sing it back to Thee "Father Love prepares a place Brother Jesus leads the way Follow to the place where you belong!" How did I miss this wondrous song? The forest sang it all along "River rinses all your shame Father offers you His name Father Love prepares a home Brother Jesus leads you on Follow to the place where you belong!" "Father Love prepares a place Brother Jesus leads the way Follow to the place where you belong Follow to the place where you belong!"
She's Leaving Home, The Beatles(John Lennon, Paul Mccartney) Lead Vocal: Paul Mccartney Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begings Silently closing her bedroom door Leaving the note that she hoped would say more She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her hankerchief Quietly turing the backdoor key Stepping outside she is free She (We gave her most of our lives) Is leaving (Sacraficed most of our lives) Home (We gave her everything money could buy) She's leaving home after living alone For so many years Bye bye Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown Picks up the letter that's lying there Standing alone at the top of the stairs She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly? How could she do this to me? She (We never though of ourselves) Is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves) Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by) She's leaving home after living alone For so many years Bye bye Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away Waiting to keep the appointment she made Meeting a man from the motor trade She (What did we do that was wrong) Is having (We didn't know it was wrong) Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy) Something inside that was always denied For so many years Bye bye She's leaving home Bye bye Within You Without You, The Beatles(George Harrison) Lead Vocal: George Harrison We were talking about the space between us all And the people, who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away We were talking about the love we all could share, when we find it To try our best to hold it there with our love With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew Try to realise it's all within yourself No one else can make you change And to see you're really only very small And life flows within you and without you We were talking about the love that's gone so cold and the people Who gain the world and lose their soul They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them? When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find Peace of mind is waiting there And the time will come when you see We're all one, and life flows on within you and without you The Fool On The Hill, The Beatles(John Lennon, Paul Mccartney) Lead Vocal: Paul Mccartney Day after day, alone on the hill The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still But nobody wants to know him They can see that he's just a fool As he never gives an answer But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning around Well on the way, head in a cloud The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make And he never seems to notice But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning around And nobody seems to like him They can tell what he wants to do And he never shows his feelings But the fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning around He never listen to them He knows that they're the fools They don't like him The fool on the hill Sees the sun going down And the eyes in his head See the world spinning around ~Danopian, apprentice fool~ "Hey Kind Friend" Indigo Girls hey kind friend i don't know when i'll see you again on a ferry boat bound to victoria laying down to hide from the wind big dipper hangin over the city you know everything now is different for me and it ain't no use in explainin the scenery i said kind friend help me forget where i been kind friend remember who i am i was too late in spokane so i caught a ride through the cascade range i saw the sun die in olympia running down on capital lake now i ask you for some relief it's one true root that you bring to me it's 3 am and it's good company i said hey kind friend help me forget where i been hey kind friend help me remember who i am hey kind friend don't know if i'm gonna see you again it's okay friend it's okay friend (it's so hard when they all have to face going away) so i'll meet you in new orleans or i'll see you around cause i don't know if it's worth coming down hey i'm calling you from a goldrush town and i say hey kind friend help me forget where i've been hey kind friend help me remember who i am hey kind friend i don't know if i'm gonna see you again it's ok friend i'm ok friend i said i'm ok friend i'm ok friend -posted by Eire in dedication to my friends A Song to Sing Goodbye four leaf clovers Hello gone awry Don't cry, the fight ain't over Unless you let it pass you by I'm looking for a song to sing I'm looking for a friend to borrow I'm looking for my radio So I might find a heart to follow I've never been so lonely for your loving I've never been just wearing down to nothing I've never been just looking for a reason So that maybe you'll be thinking of me All that I have found in reason Is reason just to not believe And all that you are left is treason It's treason just to let it be I'm looking for a song to sing I'm looking for a friend to borrow I'm looking for my radio So I might find a heart to follow I've never been so lonely for your loving I've never been just wearing down to nothing I've never been just looking for a reason So that maybe you'll be thinking of me These blue yonder dreams And second-hand shoes You're so far gone that you live to lose And it's too late to go home all alone You're the tar in that old cigar And the worn-out cable on the cable car And you're too tired to admit you've got to choose I'm looking for a song to sing I'm looking for a friend to borrow I'm looking for my radio So I might find a heart to follow I've never been so lonely for your loving I've never been just wearing down to nothing I've never been just looking for a reason So that maybe you'll be thinking of me you'll be thinking of me /A homeschooling band/ ;) -

If anyone has or knows where I can get lyrics to the songs "The Simple Joys of Maidenhood" and "Gueneviere" from Camelot, I'd really appreciate it. I need the lyrics!! I'm going NUTS! and I've already tried lyrics.com... no such luck. Thanks!
This song is really affecting me lately. I guess it reflects really well how I feel about life at this moment in time. "Pinch Me" by Barenaked Ladies It's the perfect time of year Somewhere far away from here I feel fine enough I guess Considering everythings a mess There's a resturant down the street Where hungry people like to eat I could walk but I'll just drive It's colder than it looks outside CHORUS It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone Then you try to scream, but it only comes out as a yawn When you try to see the world beyond your front door Take your time, 'cause the way I ryhme's Gonna make you smile When you realize that a guy my size might take a while Just to try to figure out what all this is for It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose And change into some dryer clothes Climb the stairs up to my room Sleep away the afternoon CHORUS Pinch me Pinch me Cause I'm still Asleep Please god Tell me That I'm still Asleep On an evening such as this It's hard to tell if I exsist Pack the car and leave this town Who'll notice that I'm not around? I could hide out under there I just made you say underwear I could leave but I'll just stay All my stuffs here anyway CHORUS Try to figure out what all this is for Try to see the world beyond your front door It's gonna be overplayed. I know it! - Zen here. two small samples. strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song... ~fugees~ when you were here before couldn't look you in the eye you're just like an angel your skin makes me cry you float like a feather in a beautiful world and i wish i was special you're so very special but i'm a creep i'm a weirdo what the hell am i doing here? i don't belong here i don't care if it hurts i wanna have control i wanna perfect body i wanna perfect soul i want you to notice when i'm not around you're so very special i wish i was special but i'm a creep i'm a weirdo what the hell am i doing here she's running out again run run run run run whatever makes you happy whatever you want you're so very special i wish i was special but i'm a creep i'm a weirdo what the hell am i doing here i don't belong here i don't belong here ~Creep, radiohead~ naomi Here are two of my favourite songs from Dave Matthews Band ~Erin Two Step Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking Love, you drive me to distraction... Hey, my love, do you believe that we might last a thousand years Or more if not for this, our flesh and blood It ties us you and me right up Tie me down...

Celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain We're climbing two by two, to be sure these days continue Things we cannot change...Things we cannot change Lie In Our Graves When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly Would you not like to be Sitting on top of the world with your legs hanging free Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok? When I'm walking by the water Splish splash me and you takin' a bath When I'm walking by the water Come up through my toes To my ankles To my head To my soul And I'm blown away.... [repeat] I can't believe that we would lie in our graves Wondering if we had spent our living days well I can't believe that we would lie in our graves Dreaming of things that we might have been... [repeat] Would you not like to be I can't believe that you would not like to be Would you not like to be ok, ok, ok And another one from Naela. . . One Hell of a Life Katell Keineg Lay me down in a wooded field Plant a bush above my head Lay me, lay me down Don't go writing on my grave I'll have it said it all before the end Lay me, lay me down And when I'm dead, please don't philosophize Or feel regret Just remember me when I said I had one hell of a life One hell of a life I had one hell of a life Throw my ashes to the wind Watch them blow into the sea Throw me, throw me in You can cry up there on the cliff Scream to heaven, work your grief But throw me, throw me in And when I'm dead... Fear and guilt accumulate And the time's never right to deal with it Maybe, maybe now You can live your life in an endless wait Or build it high on the present tense Maybe, maybe now And when you're dead... Build it high on serendipity Build it higher on serendipity And when we're all dead They won't philosophize Or feel regret They'll remember us when we said We had one hell of a life Walk and Talk Like Angels Toni Childs You walk like the angels talk Where are you from? You want to walk and talk like angels talk Tell me then some With a room by the sea and a voice in the sand Telling me your truth and telling me your view In how you see the world Spinning, spinning round And what is love and what is death The fears you have to put to rest And so you walk like angels talk You want to walk and talk like the angels talk This I hear You want to walk and talk like the angels Tell me then dear With a smile in the sun and a face in the sand Sitting on a swing, unfolding bits of string The face is innocence, but the words are something more It's in the voice, it's in the sound It's in the way the world is round And so we walk like angels talk You want to walk and talk like the angels talk This I hear You want to walk and talk like the angels Tell me then dear You see it's easy running angels down And I can't help but shudder from the sound It's that small girl, down by the sea Found the angel in me The words are such, I'll always recall As they faded into day, as they faded into day As they faded into day, as they faded into day This song reminds me of camp people, and just all the wayward soulmates I've run into along the way. - Naela "Runaway Train", Soul AysulmCall you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here no there Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train And everything seems cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here no there Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here no there Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same (~summer) "How Long Can It Last", Ani Difrancotwo years ago before you felt so familar before i could remember your last name i remeber now how our bright spring green deepened with the years the seasons changed and we were lush as the underside of august the streets looked like water they swelled and they shimmered and they stretch like the sea and dressed in my best shining skin and my squinty eyes i put the miles behind me and it took us so long to get here you gotta write between lines you gotta read between the years and fleetingly we see ourselves pass driving a good thing and wondering how long can it last how long can it last how long can it last how long can it last and there was much to forgive and there was much to forget it seems we both stood by while the record was set and now when i look at you and when you look at me it's a much different view we are both decked out in our histroy and it took us so long to get here you gotta write between the lines and read between the years and fleetingly we see ourselves pass driving a good thing and wondering, how long can it lost how long can it last (~Summer) "Perfect" by Alanis Morissette Sometimes is never quite enough If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem... why are you crying Be a good boy Push a little farther now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect As a figure skater and athlete, I have seen so many parents act like this with their children... it's just sad, and it hits a soft spot with me... "Kissing You" By Des'Ree (from Romeo and Juliet) Pride can stand, a thousand trials, the strong will never fall But watching stars without you, my soul cried. Heaving heart is full of pain, oh, oh, the aching. 'Cause I'm kissing you, oh. I'm kissing you. Touch me deep, pure, and true, gift to me forever 'Cause I'm kissing you, oh. I'm kissing you. Where are you now? Where are you now? 'Cause I'm kissing you. I'm kissing you, oh. This Woman's Work (by Kate Bush) Pray God you can cope Standing outside this Woman's Work This woman's world Ooh, it's hard on the man Now his part is over Now starts the craft of the father I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I should be crying but I just can't let it show I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said That I never said All the things we should've done That we never did All the things I should've given But I didn't Ooh, darling, make it go Make it go away Give me these moments back Give them back to me Give me that little kiss Give me your hand I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I should be crying but I just can't let it show I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said That I never said All the things we should've done That we never did All the things I should've given But I didn't Ooh, darling, make it go away Just make it go away now
"I'm Going to Go Back There Someday" (Gonzo, from "The Muppet Movie") This looks familiar, vaguely familiar, Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet. Close to my soul, and yet so far away. I'm going to go back there someday. Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls. Is that a song there, and do I belong there? I've never been there, but I know the way. I'm going to go back there someday. Come and go with me, it's more fun to share, We'll both be completely at home in midair. We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings. We can hold onto love like invisible strings. There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met. Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place? You can just visit, but I plan to stay. I'm going to go back there someday. I'm going to go back there someday. This expresses perfectly the yearning I've always felt for the unknown home I've somehow lost...there must be somewhere, amid the countless stars, where I belong. And yes, the song does make me cry...the Muppets will do that to you... ~Aletheia "Hurt" ~ Nine Inch Nails i hurt myself today to see if i still feel i focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but i remember everything what have i become? my sweetest friend, everyone i know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt i will let you down i will make you hurt i wear this crown of shit upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts i cannot repair beneath the stains of time these feelings disappear you are someone else i am still right here what have i become? my sweetest friend, everyone i know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt i will let you down i will make you hurt if i could start again a million miles away i would keep myself i would find a way ~posted by Jenny even though she's sung this so much that it doesn't make her cry anymore "Ant Farm" by the Eels Hate a lot of things But I love a few things And you are one of them Hard to believe After all of these years But you are one of them Walk down the street I'm thinking Everybody move along I've got a sad hearted needing To belong Never-the-less It's all the mess you made But I can't let it go Walk down the street I'm thinking Look at all the ants in the farm I've got a sad hearted feeling To harm Hate a lot of things But I love a few things And you are one of them I love the eels. - Zen Okay, I know I'm posting tooo many lyrics here, but this is one of the few songs that can make me cry. It's called Bad News and it's by the eels (Of course). "Bad News" by the eels Guess I'm doing something wrong Never feel right in these shoes Pocket full of matches and a head full of flame Got to warn you that I'm bad news She tucks me in and then she screams "One day you will have to choose Either take care of me or take care of you And don't pretend you're not bad news" Come on now, I'll take you home You don't have a thing to lose But stick around long enough and you'll find out I am nothing but bad news You can never change where you're from No matter who I will accuse Gonna get on with a better life And one day I won't be bad news It's the same Every day when I wake up It's the same In the way that you Gave me up In the middle of a swan dive And I was souring down Perfect and slow - Zen "a bedroom story" by Brent You're adorable you're cuter then you'll ever know and I'll never be what you need when you need me and when you need me I'll be floating away...away I've understood stood below you watched you fly tried to try not to try I don't know why I don't know why and I won't deny you and I have suprised one another with the love in our eyes and in our minds and in our minds are ideas of bedrooms and bedposts and I hope the our hearts can with stand... and I stand ....and I stand... and I stand for what I know and what I love and I love you.... standing there in your underwear..... orange underwear. and I wanna know if your lips taste as sweet as they should and if your heart beats as pure as it could and you smell so sweet when you stand by me and when your face is pressed against my cheek and you're perfect..... and you're perfect..... and you're perfect........ well you're almost perfect now. and I can't help but saying stupid things get over it. get over it 'cause you are wrong and I am right and I work hard all day and night to try to make you understand you're number 1 you're my number 1... you're my number 1.. and in our minds are ideas of bedrooms and beposts and a little disco ball above your bed... .......... orange underwear and I've understood stood below you watched you fly tried to try not to try I don't know why .. I wanna fly I don't know why I wanna fly but I wanna fly and I wanna fly up in the sky with you by my side and I wanna fly up in the sky with my wings spread wide and you're lovely and you're lovely by my side.. .... and you're almost perfect now. "I (eye) [a tribute to courtneys near loss of an eye]" by Brent I.... almost lost my eye tonight I.... almost lost my eye tonight she through.. a pen.. right at my eye I almost lost my eye tonight I.... almost lost my eye tonight I got a tip for a hundred dollars it made my day now I can go out and put a down payment on a new eye for my eye socket I.... almost lost my eye tonight one.. small cheese pizza for the 3 of you everything is free of charge .. except for.. the pizza I.... almost lost my eye tonight I got a call back from the docter my new eye is ready to be picked up. "hard" by Brent I write my own songs, and I skat my own skat. I drive my own drive, and I wax when I want to wax when my life runs smoothly, I know I'm gonna crash and when I crash, I know I'll crash I always crash, and I crash hard and when I find someone I know someone is gonna fall hard start off as progressing friends, then things start to progress and I fall hard you and me and baby makes 3 and baby have you crashed hard for me? look in the past, there is no past, lets start a past with you and me. one weekend. two weekends. 3 weekends. one months gone by, and somethings changed. you're not the same. you don't like me I've crashed into a lonely tree looking down from this lonely tree I can dangle my feet freely you're down in the shrubs. you're caught. you fall. I laugh. I move from tree to tree our past is now trashed. you wallow in the smell of our trashed past. .. I think I've made it a little obvious, leading to the point that its o-ver now. /these songs are my own works of art. they're not the best. but I myself am getting better at writing such songs. and I hope to share some of them with you all... sometime... maybe../ --Brent There's a place far down You've never been there But I go there daily With my hands in your hair I never saw the way you looked The softness, sweetness in your face Things I thought I knew were unique to you And couldn't be replaced The day you came at me Though I knew it wasn't right I submitted softly Did not put up a fight And so you came at me And took me all the way down I came up with a smile But you came up with a frown You aren't so in love now Sent me flowers--Valentine's In the face of lovers absense The only eyes that cried were mine Next time that I saw you There was a faint spark Though I hadn't planned it We were together in the dark And so you came at me Took me all the way down You came up with a smile But I came up with a frown I'm free of you now I'm a girl with no ties I'm free of you now I can see the skies ~Jasmine (written by...uh, me...can I get some feedback?) The chorus has a wierd sexual tone butI really liked that last verse. Im glad you have finally gotten the hell over things. -Matt B
I agree with matt. it does have a weird sexual tone in the chorus. Otherwise it is very powerful. I liked it. Although I can't quiet picture it as a song. I am just reading it though, and not hearing it.
