Six Underground

Take me down, 6 underground
The ground beneath your feet
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet

I've got a head full of drought, down here
So far off and losing out, round here
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace

Calm me down, bring it round
Too way high up your street
I can see like nothing else
In me you're better than I wanna be

Don't think cause I understand, I care
Don't think cause I'm talking, we're friends
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace

Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap

I fake my life like I've lived, too much
I take whatever you're giving, not enough
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace

I fake my life like I've lived, too much
I take whatever you're giving, not enough
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace

I like this one partly because it shows that you don't stop being the poet laureate of a generation just because that generation is getting old. It also describes a lot of my personal outlook on life, the universe and everything. Hey, I used to care.

Bob Dylan

I'm a worried man, got a worried mind
No one in front of me, no one behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne.
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train.
Standin' on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now i'm expectin' all hell to break loose.
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, i'm outta range
I used to care, but things have changed.

This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, i should be in hollywood
Just for a second there i thought i saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove.
Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, i'm only, i'm only passing through.
People are crazy, times are strange
I'm locked in tight, i'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

I've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I'm trying to get as far away from myself as i can.
Things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losin' hand.
Feel like fallin' in love with the first woman i meet
Puttin' her in a wheel barrow, wheelin' her down the street.
People are crazy, times are strange
I'm locked in tight, i'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed.

I hurt easy, i just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity.
Gonna get low down, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm in love with a woman that don't even appeal to me.
Mr. jinx and miss lucy, they, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager, not that eager to make a mistake.
People are crazy, times are strange
I'm locked in tight, i'm outta range
I used to care, but things have changed.

 

[BlurOfSerenity]

don't waste your touch
you won't feel anything
or were you sent to save me?

i've thought too much
you won't find anything
worthy of redeeming

BREAK DOWN!
and cease all feeling
BURN NOW!!
what once was breathing
REACH OUT!
and you may take my heart away..

imperfect cry
and scream in ecstacy
so what befalls the flawless?
look what i've built!
(please don't do this)
it shines so beauitifully!
(why won't you look at me?)
now watch as it destroys me...

--AFI - the leaving song pt2

 

[tonksy]

this is gutwrenching to me.

don't follow - alice in chains

Hey, I ain’t never coming
Home
Hey, I’ll just wander my
Own road
Hey, I can’t meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don’t follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you’re livin’
Life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that
Bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can’t shake
Me round now
I get so lost and don’t
Know how
And it hurts to care, i’m
Going down

Forgot my woman, lost my
Friends
Things I’d done and where
I’ve been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors
Cold
See my face it’s growin’
Old
Scared to death no reason
Why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things i
Said
Read the page it’s cold
And dead

Take me home

 

[IDLEchild]

I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
I lay my head into the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy...happy
I wish you were here
The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air



Incubus - Wish you were here.

Des'ree -- You Gotta Be

Listen as your day unfolds
Challenge what the future holds
Try and keep your head up to the sky
Lovers, they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears

Stand up and be counted
Don't be ashamed to cry

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Readin' the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time

Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view
my oh my heh, hey...

You gotta be
You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard
You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger

You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together
All I know, all I know, love will save the day

Don't ask no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning
You can't stop it, if you try to
This time it's danger staring you in the face

 

[greenfreak]

That's the strong side.... Now the "weak" side, when it comes to my Rusty:

Sweet Inspiration

I need your sweet inspiration
I need you here on my mind
Every hour of the day
Without your sweet inspiration
The lonely hours of the night
Just don't go my way

A woman in love
Needs sweet inspiration
Yeah, and honey that's all I ask,
That's all I ask from you
I've gotta have your sweet inspiration
You know there just ain't no tellin'
What a satisfied woman might do

The way you call me baby, baby
Is such a sweet inspiration
The way you call me darlin', darlin'
Sets my heart to skating
And if I'm out in the rain, baby
And in a bad situation
You know I just reach back in my mind
And there I find your sweet, sweet inspiration

Sweet inspiration
Oh what a power
And I've got the power
Every hour of the day
I need your sweet inspiration
To go on, to go on living
To keep on giving this way

I need your sweet inspiration
Sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
Sweet, sweet inspiration
I need, sweet inspiration

 

[tonksy]

i am becoming a huge verve fan....this i acquired today...i'm loving this part....song is very long but lyrics are basically repeated...awesome song!

Happiness
Happiness
More or less
More or less
It’s just a change in me
It’s just a change in me
Something in my liberty
Something in my liberty
Oh, my, my
Oh, my, my
Happiness
Happiness
Coming and going
Coming and going
I watch you look at me
I watch you look at me
Watch my fever growing
Watch my fever growing
I know just where I am
I know just where I am

from 'lucky man'.

 

[chcr]

He had white Horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

Lucky Man--Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

 

[Rose]

Standing barefoot on a cold wood floor
Looking out the window of my backdoor
If it eeps on raining, I think the whole damn house is going to float away.

The alarm was buzzing at the break of dawn
My husband's askin 'is the coffee on?'
And easy's getting harder every day.

I drop the baby off at school at nine
Bust the lights to get to work on time
Where I'll be staring at the clock
Waiting to knock off another day.

Supper's done we'll watch some tv shows
Of a bunch of folks who've never heard of Idaho
Where easy's getting harder everyday.

I had a garden, but my flowers died
There ain't much living here inside
And lately I don't know what I'm holding on to.

Wish I could run away to the Port of Maine
Take nothing with me
Not even my name
Because easy's getting harder everyday.

We make love and then we kiss goodnight
He rolls over and he's out like a light
But I ain't mad about it, we've got nothin' to talk about anyway.

The lights are blinking on the radio now
And I lie awake and stare at them for hours and hours
'Cause easy's getting harder every day.

I had a garden but my flowers died
There ain't much living here inside
And lately I don't know what I'm holding on to.

I'll never make it up to the Port of Maine
There ain't no chance of me forgetting my name
And easy's getting harder every day.

And it feels like easy just keeps on getting harder every day.



Easy's Getting Harder Every Day

[Oz]

SEAHORSES - LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME

Don't believe in Jesus
Don't believe in Jah
Don't believe in the wars
we fight just to prove how real we are

I believe in lovers, I believe in friends
I believe in heaven here on earth
'til the, the beginning ends

Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Leave me to love
Don't you ever tell me it came from above
Just love me and leave me
Leave me to love

I believe in heroes, I believe in stars
I believe that we'll meet one day,
Say hello in some astral bar

I believe in brothers I know
you know who you are
Here's to those who bore us and
made us what we are

 

[HeXp£Øi±]

I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
So now you know, who gets mystified


Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined


Someone let the dogs out
They'll show where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shitting
I'm feeling that I’m sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
So now you know, who gets mystified


Show me the power child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined

Both by Bad Religion

A World Without Melody
I don't want to live
In a world without melody
Sometimes the rhythmic din
Of society is too much for me
But purpose is prioritized
These days the goal is win the prize
There's a sleeping resonance we hold,
Through which we're unified
So let it out! don't just get lost in the crowd
No one can deter you from your own path
There's no trip too remote
From which you can't come back
And I've got this hunch about you and me
None of us are ready
For a world without melody
Melody is the key,
It's the surest way
To unlock your individuality
Melody is the key,
It will set you free!
Don't disrelish harmony,
Community will make you whole
Work and understanding are the chords
Way deep within your soul
They only need to be struck once,
And the vibrations swell and spread
But if we mute them they decay,
Our sensibilities are dead
So let it out! don't just be one of the crowd
Hesitance and diffidence will do you in
And your soul doesn't care
For social medicine
And I've got this hunch
About you and me
None of us are ready
For a world without melody
Melody is the key,
It's the surest way
To unlock your individuality
Melody is the key,
It will set you free!
And I know together we could change the world
Just you and me
But I won't live without melody

--------------------------------------

I Love My Computer
I love my computer
You make me feel alright
Every waking hour
and every lonely night
I love my computer
for all you give to me:
predictable errors and no identity
And it's never been quite so easy
I've never been quite so happy
All I need to do is click on you
and we'll be joined
in the most soul-less way
And we'll never ruin each other's day
'cuz when I'm through I just click
and you just go away
I love my computer
you're always in the mood
I get so turned on
when I turn on you
I love my computer
you never ask for more
You can be a princess
or you can be my whore
And it's never been quite so easy
I've never been quite so happy
The world outside is so big
but it's safe in my domain
Because to you
I'm just a number
and a clever screen name
All I need to do is click on you
and we'll be together for eternity
And no one is ever gonna take my love
from me because I've got security
her password and a key

^My current favourite song. It rules so much it's not funny.

 

[Rose]

When I was a child, I spoke as a child
Now I'm a grown woman, but my thoughts are still wild.
Thought I'd seen London and maybe Pari`
But I'm staring at cornfields
And they're staring at me.

But dreams are just things that you keep in a jar
You bury your dreams, or you wish on a star
For an oceanline ticket back to where you were born
Away from these hard times and the acres of corn.

Every now and again, well I take a small drink
From the blackberry brandy hidden under the sink.
Then I pull out that steam trunk and put on my gown
And I walk through these corn fields 'til I fall to the ground.

But dreams are just things that you keep in a trunk
Till the men are out working, or you got a big trunk(?)
Then you unlock your dreams, but they're tattered and worn
So you stare out the window at the acres of corn.

Dreams are just things that you keep in a jar
You bury your dreams, or you wish on a star
For an oceanline ticket back to where you were born
Far away from these hard time and the acres of corn.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child.
Now I'm a grown woman, but my thoughts are still wild.


Acres of Corn

[Rose]

And you know the sun's settin fast
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
Go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die

Go on now and say goodbye to our town. To our town.
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town. On our town.
Goodnight.

Up the street beside the red neon light
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night
He was the tender and I ordered a beer
It's been 40 years and I'm still sitting here

But you know the sun's setting fast
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
Well go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die

Go on now and say goodbye to our town. To our town.
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town. On our town.
Goodnight.

It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist
Over there is where I bought my first car
It turned over once but then it never went far.

And I can see the sun's setting fast
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
So go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die

Go on now and say goodbye to our town. To our town.
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town. On our town.
Goodnight.

I buried my mama and I buried my pa
They sleep up the street beside the pretty brick wall
I'd bring them flowers about every day
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say

If they could see how the sun's setting fast
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
Well go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die.

Go on now and say goodbye to our town. To our town.
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town. On our town.
Goodnight.

Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightening bugs fly
But I can't see too good, I've got tears in my eyes
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't want to go
I love you my town, you'll always live in my soul.

But I can see the sun settin fast
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
Well go on I gotta kiss you goodbye
But I'll hold to my lover because my heart's bound to die.

Go on now and say goodbye to my town. To my town.
I can see the sun has gone down on my town. On my town.
Goodnight.


Our Town

Losing my religion by REM

Life is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up


That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try


Every whisper
Of every waking hour I’m
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up


Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I’ve said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try


But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

Another one of those poet laureate songs:

One too Many Mornings--Bob Dylan

Down the street the dogs are barkin'
And the day is a-gettin' dark.
As the night comes in a-fallin',
The dogs 'll lose their bark.
An' the silent night will shatter
From the sounds inside my mind,
For I'm one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind.

From the crossroads of my doorstep,
My eyes they start to fade,
As I turn my head back to the room
Where my love and I have laid.
An' I gaze back to the street,
The sidewalk and the sign,
And I'm one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind.

It's a restless hungry feeling
That don't mean no one no good,
When ev'rything I'm a-sayin'
You can say it just as good.
You're right from your side,
I'm right from mine.
We're both just one too many mornings
An' a thousand miles behind.

 

[greenfreak]

You people are depressing me.

 

[chcr]

You people are depressing me.

Sorry greenie, here you go. Teach this one to Rusty.

Happy Together--The Turtles (Toitles?)

Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl you love and hold her tight
So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

So happy together
How is the weather
So happy together
We're happy together
So happy together
Happy together
So happy together
So happy together (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba)
