So I know that Emily, Krust and I get SUPER into a song when we really like the lyrics...
So Krust and I decided we want to start a thread where everyone can post some of their favorite song lyrics!
I have a ton I want to post... But am getting royaly screwed at work today cause it's hella busy!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!
I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU PEOPLE!! That's exactly what makes a song for me, too! I actually died a little when I saw Buckley's Hallelujah lyrics posted on here a while ago. Oh so good!
Like one of my faves:
"Don't keep appointments with disappointment"
Song: Lily Two
Artist: Matt Pond PA
I rep Matt Pond PA so HARDCORE-- like I just love them! If anyone wants CD's I will burn them up and snail mail them to you!!!
Tool- Eulogy...I friggin love this song
Eulogy]
{2:08}
He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
(We're gonna miss him. 2x)
So loooooong!
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well so looooooong.
Don't cryyyyy.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.
Standing above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
Ranting and pointing his finger
at everything but his heart.
(We'll miss him. 2x)
(We're gonna miss him. 2x)
No wayyyyyy
to recall
what it was that you had said to me,
like I care at alll.
But he was sooo louuud.
You sure could yell.
You took a stand on every little thing
and soooo louuuuuuuuud.
You, could be, the one, who saves, me from, my own, existence.
{indistinct}
Standing above the crowd,
he had a voice that was strong and loud
and I swallowed his facade cuz I'm so eager to identify
with someone above the ground,
someone who seemed to feel the same,
someone prepared to lead the way,
with someone who would die for me.
Will you?
Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you fuckin' lie.
(Don't you step out of line! 3x)
Don't you fuckin lie.
You've claimed all this time
that you would die for me.
Why then are you so surprised
when hear your own eulogy?
(He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say. 2x)
Coome down.
Get off your fuckin cross.
We need the fuckin space
to nail the next fool martyr!
To ascend you must die!
You must be crucified
for our sins and our lies!
Goodbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!
Cake - Fashion Nugget - Nugget
....
Now Heads of State who ride and wrangle,
Who look at your face from more than one angle,
Can cut you from their bloated budgets
Like sharpened knives through Chicken McNuggets.
Shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Learn to buck up.
Shut the fuck up.
Learn to buck up.
Now nimble fingers that dance on numbers
Will eat your children and steal your thunder,
While heavy torsos that heave and hurl
Who crunch like nuts in the mouths of squirrels.
....
I think the song is talking about the american way.
Talking about institutions breaking you down to generalized attributes and paving the road you walk without you ever knowing really.
chicken nuggets and the last verse might be referencing our consumerist religion and how it really dont give a fuck about anything but lusting for more.
This song literally Speaks to me!!!
It's more of a story but hits a lot of different topics... READ!!!
Atmosphere:
The Things That Hate Us
See I come from a time where they didn't put rear view mirrors on passenger sides of vehicles.
And this is for those that still drink malt liquor.
Put the poison in your body just to pass out quicker.
When death calls best believe it's gonna get all emotional
Because I ain't goin' to hell without my menthols.
Damn cable TV got me trapped in
Girls actin' dumb and cops beatin' black men
Overfill, overkill, tryin' to deal
Call the toll free and order my some diet pills.
Got me looking at the sugar in the Kool-Aid that you made
You need to chase it down with some toothpaste
Still stuck to the simple things yep the struggle in between a couple of krispy kremes
I have to ask if you could pass that half and half to get my coffee back on track
Big ups to all the carbonated hiccups the energy drinks and the suicide big gulps.
Gonna find happiness in the fast food
Supersize the triple bypass heart attack too
Distract you with these colorful tattoos to cover up the fact that we feel like bad news
We love the things that hate us.
Push snooze again girl I don't want to wake up
America the beautiful that's how she played us
Wasn't that cute it must have been her make up
Trying to grab everything that she gave us
Just take it back in the math on that pay stub
Lookin' at the neighbors like wait up
We love the things that hate us
Pain killers help find some feeling
Crack the vic in half just to break the time sealant
Take it by yourself on the living room carpet
Do a little bump just to clean your apartment
I've seen your wife she's not the true finest
I understand why you like to pay them prostitutes
Strip clubs gun shops oh Jesus right next to the liquor store for your convenience
Everybody say ho for the cuervo
You can drive if you promise to be careful
Turn the radio up and light a doobie
And keep acting like life is like a movie
This is for those needles you share because
Those after school TV specials is too square
Cook the coke for your own consumption
All some joe joe dems In old school
What's your function
As American as herpes and hot dogs
Got lost between the mustard and the hot sauce
Unprotected sex with that one you just met
You ain't even got all your hep shots yet
We love the things that hate us.
Push snooze again girl I don't want to wake up
America the beautiful that's how she played us
Wasn't that cute it must have been her make up
Trying to grab everything that she gave us
Just take it back in the math on that pay stub
Lookin' at the neighbors like wait up
We love the things that hate us
Word!
I have a feeling, Christina will be able to appreciate this one as much as I.
Although, I have always envisioned Christina being spelled with a K as I listen to it...
For obvious reasons.
I'm in love with a TV star
She drove me home in her Lexus car
Like her dog but I don't watch her show
Spend my time with the radio
Seen her dancin on the Sunset Strip
Bell-bottom jeans and her curvy hips
Seen her sittin there with her boyfriend
Good lookin' fellow but he's lookin' kinda thin
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
I love you sooooo
Remember that day we played pool
I saw your bedroom and we ate B-BQ
Barbie came from her trip down town
Fifty up and Forty down
Love ya more than the sun and the sky
Gotta kiss and hug ya before I die
Something else that you oughta know too,
did something weird
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
I love you so
I'm in love with a TV star
She drove me home in her Lexus car
Like her dog but I don't watch her show
Spend my time with the radio
Been watchin' TV as the years go by
Seen em' born and I seen them die
Something else that you oughta know too
I like a girl named Ellen more than you
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
Christina, A La La La La, Christina, A La La La La,
I love you so
This is all posting and no replying ...LOL
ahhh Kristina, I LOVE IT!
:o))))))
In high school every single divider in my binder was completely covered in song lyrics. Like I spent soooooo much time filling those things up with deep shit. I actually still have those things in the attic somewhere. I should scan and post.
And yes! Jeff Buckley is the man. I remember the day he died. I was in 7th grade and my best friend like told me and we were crying. lol. Yeah.... 7th grade is really dramatic. But yes. Love love love him.
Emily introduced to the wonderful world that is Jeff Buckley...
Here is a fav of mine:
Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so (you'll never know)
I'm broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight? Child, you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away
When he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one...
So I'll wait for you... And I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return, oh, or will I ever learn
Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that wont ever come
It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her...
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
Maybe I'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
Oh... Lover, you should've come over... 'Cause it's not too late...
Ohhhh good song, mama. Good song.
Liiiiiiiiisa -- I finally just read all of The Things That Hate Us.
Wow! I'm going to DL the song tonight so I can HEAR it!
I've realized that in a weird, possibly sick way I happen to enjoy songs that talk about pain killers & drugs.
Emily will feel me on the BRIGHT EYES!!! What song lyrics should we post???! Lover I don't have to love, something vague, i believe in symmetry...?
ha. My husband's favorite is "Lover I don't have to love"
But Something vague is a classic. I dunno. My favorites are If Winter Ends and Poison Oak...wait... shit. I can't choose a favorite. Too hard.
No I will so NOT choose a favorite, too many to choose from.
I didn't know your husband was in on the B.E., too?? Sweeeeeet!!
Ha. Yeah. He's a fan.
I just opened my iTunes to rock some BE. :)
What other music do you listen to, Christina?
PS:
I totally forgot my absolute favorite BE song EVER.
True Blue.
It's the ringtone when my husband calls.
We used to call each other "blue" before we listened to Bright Eyes and then we named our dog Blue. and then we heard the song. It's amazing.
At the center of the world
There's a statue of a girl
She is standing near a well
With a bucket bare and dry
I went and looked her in the eyes
And she turned me into sand
This clumsy form that I despise
It scattered easy in her hand
And came to rest upon a beach
With a million others there
We sat and waited for the sea
To stretch out so that we could disappear
Into the endlessness of blue
Into the horror of the truth
See, we are far less than we knew
Yeah, we are far less than we knew
But we knew what we could taste
Girls found honey to drench our hands
Men cut marble to mark our graves
Saying, we'll need something to remind us
Of all the sweetness that has passed through us
(fresh sangria and lemon tea)
The priests dressed children for choir
(white-robed small voices praise Him)
But found no joy in what was sung
The funeral had begun
In the middle of the day
When you drive home to your place
From that job that makes you sleep
Back to the thoughts that keep you awake
Long after night has come to claim
Any light that still remains
In the corner of the frame
That you put around her face
Two pills just weren’t enough
The alarm clock's going off
But you're not waking up
This isn’t happening, happening, happening, happening, happening
It is
True Blue!! It is a goodie, AND clearly has some additional significance for you two lovebirds. Very cool!!
Music to my ears:
Duh: Bright Eyes
Minus the Bear
Brand New
Tegan & Sara (new album = VERY good)
Matt Pond PA (as I mentioned earlier...)
Frou Frou/Imogen Heap
Northstar (they're broken up now- lame)
The Return
Circa Survive
Everclear (latest album is entertaining)
City & Colour/Dallas Green
For a while I was enjoying: As Tall As Lions
And cool random composed stuff-- like have you ever heard the Spanglish or Amelie soundtracks??
Oldies: Beatles, Tom Petty, etc.
Throw out some music suggestions for me! I need new stuff to rock out to!!!
Ha. I wanna pull a card from "stuff white people like" right now!!!! Because I have no idea who a few of those peeps are. You have the upper hand my friend! I bow!
My favorites:
Radiohead
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Bright Eyes
Van Mossion
Jeff Buckley
Led Zepplin
Counting Crows.
Probably more.... I just can't think at the moment.
I also love: THE DECEMBERISTS!!!, Cursive, Bear vs. Shark, Desaparecidos, MIA, HOT CHIP!! (They are on heavy rotation right now), Bjork, Digitalism, The Faint... (hella Saddle creek shit) Blood Bros. I dunno. Scott and I like literally have way too much music for our own good. I can honestly say I like way too many to list. But if I come across something particularly awesome I'll holla atchu.
Scott loves Imogen Heap. lol. That hide and Seek song....I always catch him listening to it and it makes me laugh.
PS: I heard that that City & Colour band was playing in SF very soon. I read it and said to myself "Who the fuck are city & colour?" lol Maybe I need a musical brush up. You young-inz obviously have the upper hand.
ahhhhh
The Faint! "Desperate Guys" TOTALLY came on my ipod this morning on my way to work, it got me all stoked for the day!!
Okay, first of all-- if you want tunes, you need to e-mail me your mailing address and I will send some over-- including city & colour.
haha my bf likes imogen, too -- I totally catch him listening to her every once in a while, too!
I totally got into the Decemberists at the end of 2007 -- 16 military wives got me wanting more!! Have you ever heard of The Long Winters?
And I can never get enough of Counting Crows-- just so good on the ears at all times!!
I <3 music! woo hoo!
Why are we not married?
I'm serious. I usually get laughed at for my love of CC.
But if we are talking lyrics, homeboy Adam Duritz is a MASTER!
Yeah The Decemberists are one of my favs. We've seen them a couple times and they put on a fun show.
Now I'm on a hunt for the perfect Counting Crows Song for the page.
Clearly someone got to you before I could in the marriage department, we will just have to manage as long lost lovers instead!
Ya - a lot of people hate on the CC, but whatever! I like Duritz's back story (like some identity disorder I read about a long time ago, etc)-- that really makes his lyrics interesting & deep!
Yessssss, can't wait to see your CC lyrical choice!
well, we are in the market for a second wife.... :)
This song reminds me of my friend Ms. Patty Miller. I fucking love that girl. AND this song. it was like our song kinda. We loved it in junior high and it really is a great song.
"she is trapped inside a month of grey
and they take a little every day
she is a victim of her own responses
shackled to a heart that wants to settle
and then runs away
it's a sin to be fading endlessly
yeah, but she's alright with me
she is leaving on a walkaway
she is leaving in disarray
in the absence
of a place to be
she stands there looking back at me
hesitates, and then turns away
she'll change so suddenly
she's just like mercury
yeah, but she's alright with me
keep some sorrow in your
hearts and minds
for the things that die before thier time
for the restlessly abandoned homes
the tired and weary rambler's bones and stay beside me where i lie
she's entwined in me
crazy as can be
yeah, but she's alright with me."
-Mercury
Counting Crows.
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
Ahhhhh YESSSS!!!!
That's my my space song and it makes me so happy every time I hear it :)
awwww
would make anyone melt. I like that song :o) and I <3 Juno!
I listened to that song like 10 times today in the car.
"Your New Twin Sized Bed" Death Cab
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
With a single pillow underneath your single head
I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free
And I hope you have more luck with this than me
You used to think that someone would come along
And lay beside you in a space that they belong
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new
What's the point of holding on to what never gets used?
Other than a sick desire for self-abuse
And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
It's like your some kind of hurry
To say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
I still havent heard any new death cab. I'm so behind.
Lucky for you I have your address and will just have to send you a CD care package including their new CD
I really like their new album, it's different and good, but the same... lol
I'm seeing them on Saturday! wooooohooo!
YAYYYYY at the greek? I wanted to go. Boooooo.
Yes! I'm not ecstatic about rolling to Berkeley, but I skipped out on seeing them the last time they were in SD... and I impulsively bought them yesterday -- $90 for 2, not a bad impulse buy lol
