Re: Lyrics... and life!
Harder to Breathe ~ Maroon 5
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable
So condescending,
unnecessarily critical
I have the tendency of getting very physical
So watch your step cause if I do, you'll need a miracle
You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
The double vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I am walking on
But when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to a word I said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
But when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Does it kill?
Does it burn?
Is it painful to learn
That it's me who has all the control?
Does it thrill?
Does it sting?
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold?
But when it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say there's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
How dare you say that my behavior's unacceptable

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Two songs that sum me up very, very well;
Girl Anachronism
by The Dresden Dolls
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
You can tell
From the scars on my arms
And the cracks on my hips
And the dents in my car
And the blisters on my lips
That I'm not the carefullest of girls
You can tell
From the glass on the floor
And the strings that're breaking
And I keep on breaking more
And it looks like I am shaking
But it's just the temperature
And then again
If it were any colder I could disengage
If I were any older I could act my age
But I don't think that you'd believe me
It's
Not
The
Way
I'm
Meant
To
Be
It's just the way the operation made me
And you can tell
From the state of my room
That they let me out too soon
And the pills that I ate
Came a couple years too late
And I've got some issues to work through
There I go again
Pretending to be you
Make-believing
That I have a soul beneath the surface
Trying to convince you
It was accidentally on purpose
I am not so serious
This passion is a plagiarism
I might join your century
But only on a rare occasion
I was taken out
Before the labor pains set in and now
Behold the world's worst accident
I am the girl anachronism
And you can tell
By the red in my eyes
And the bruises on my thighs
And the knots in my hair
And the bathtub full of flies
That I'm not right now at all
There I go again
Pretending that I'll fall
Don't call the doctors
Cause they've seen it all before
They'll say just
Let
Her
Crash
And
Burn
She'll learn
The attention just encourages her
And you can tell
From the full-body cast
That you're sorry that you asked
Though you did everything you could
(like any decent person would)
But I might be catching so don't touch
You'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff
Don't get me wet
Because the bandages will all come off
And you can tell
From the smoke at the stake
That the current state is critical
Well it is the little things, for instance...
In the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses...
Please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...
I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this
So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
Behold the worlds worst accident
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM [x5]
I'm the girl... [x3]
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
Extraordinary Machine
by Fiona Apple
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it's a slow climb,
But I'm good at being uncomfortable, so
I can't stop changing all the time
I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won't go slow, so's not to focus, and I notice
He'll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he's no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can't stop staying exactly the same
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine
I seem to you to seek a new disaster every day
You deem me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way, and say,
I've been getting along for long before you came into the play
I am the baby of the family, it happens, so
- Everybody cares and wears the sheeps' clothes
While they chaperone
Curious, you looking down your nose at me, while you appease
- Courteous, to try and help - but let me set your
Mind at ease
(Chorus)
-Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
-It's very kind
But it's to no avail; I don't want the bail
I promise you, everything will be just fine
If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Gyrizw tis plates mou sto mellon - Haris & Panos Katsimihas
Roughly translated lyrics follow:
I turn my back to the future
the future you make as you wish
since you own history
sweep it down if you insist
My ears are full of promises
I have seen the movie, don't make me mad
the ship of my dreams takes me
to worlds you cannot stand
I stand alone in my present
to save everything - that can be saved -
even if i suffer the consequences of the law
accomplice to murder you won't have me
I turn my back to the future
the match is rigged in your favour
write me off your records
I don't work for or with you
I turn my back to the future
the future you make as you wish
since you own history
sweep it down if you insist
I stand alone in my present
to save everything - that can be saved -
even if i suffer the consequences of the law
accomplice to murder you won't have me

@LSD: My housemate told me when he first met me that he knew this song called Girl Anachronism that he thought really reminded him of me.

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Touched
You say that I am, too
So much...
...of what you say is true
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you,
Like you
The razors and the dying roses bleed
I don't leave you alone
The Demigods and hungry ghosts
Oh God, God knows I'm not at home
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I,
I looked into your eyes and saw
A world that does not exist
I looked into your eyes and saw
A world I wish I was in
I'll never find someone quite as touched as you
I'll never love someone quite the way
That I...loved you
You say that I am, too
So much...
...of what you say is true
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you,
Like you
The razors and the dying roses bleed
I don't leave you alone

Oh God, God knows I'm not at home
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I'll never find someone quite like you again
I,
I looked into your eyes and saw
A world that does not exist
I looked into your eyes and saw
A world I wish I was in
I'll never find someone quite as touched as you
I'll never love someone quite the way
That I...loved you

The Whispering Boys
The Whispering Boys have nothing to say.
The Whispering Boys won't go away.
But they scream and they cry,
And they run and they hide
From their bodies.
The Whispering Boys have answered the call.
The Whispering Boys surrender their all.
To the blame and the blood
Of an albino dove
Made of love.
The Whispering Boys are perfect and pure.
The Whispering Boys are sacred and sure.
And sometimes they are known
To take children whose homes
Are unknown.
The Whispering Boys, they stay out of sight.
The Whispering Boys, they meet late at night.
And they bond to their fate.
And they're saved when they
Self-mutilate.
Elmer's Song
Leave your burdens behind.
Leave your burdens behind.
Let your spirit be free from gravity.
Leave your burdens behind.
God is waiting for you.
God is waiting for you.
There's no need to be in uncertainty.
God is waiting for you.
Once I was exactly like you,
An empty vessel on full view.
I thought that there was no other way.
I thought the thoughts you think today.
My wife was sinister and unclean.
My children were morose and mean.
My discontentment was so complete,
My mind retreated into sleep.
Love will live in repose.
Love will live in repose.
Let your leisure zone be your cornerstone.
Love will live in repose.
But soon a voice inside of a dream.
Said, “Son you can become My cream.”
With words that echoed in me God said,
“White people should remain in bed.”
Take a load off your feet.
Take a load off your feet.
Turn your misery into ecstasy.
Take a load off your feet.
We will give it to you.
We will give it to you.
Sleep is purified, sweet, and sanctified.
So we'll give it to you.
Burn My Bones
Sleeping deeply in the blood
It turns my memories to mud,
And gnaws inside me like a dog
Whose leg is caught beneath a log.
It eats itself until it's free,
But I'll eat them instead of me.
HUNGER! ANGER!
HUNGER! ANGER!
HUNGER! ANGER!
HUNGER! ANGER!
Please, somebody burn my bones.
Please, somebody burn my bones.
Please, somebody burn my bones.
And leave the ashes in the snow.

Re: Lyrics... and life!
A song about getting strung out in the fast lane, I know, but also for any of you who have ever work that tedious, repetitive, mind numbing, spirit killing, soul sucking job, then this one is for you too.
Veteran of the Psychic Wars
Blue Oyster Cult
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if theres anything left of me
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on
You ask me why I'm weary, why I cant speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say its time I changed and grew
But the wars still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if were ever...
I can't say if were ever gonna to be free
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on
You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energies spent at last
And my armour is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?
Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And we've been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Oh oh
I really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won't you bring
All the flowers you
Find out in the garden?
Don't tell me the truth
That your heart has hardened
But you don't want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you've done to me...
Oh oh
Oh oh the bee does quickly sting
I was wondering
If you could maybe darling
Think? I'd give everything
If you'd grant my love a pardon
And all the fruits
Again would fill the garden
But you don't want me anymore
How can it be?
Look what you've done to me...
Oh oh...
I really wanted that thing
I just want to sing
I love you baby
Won't you bring

An excerpt of scene 7 from The Voice of Midnight audioplay, which is based on Der Sandman by E.T.A. Hoffmann. In particular, this is Olympia's song.
True Love (excerpt)
OLYMPIA
Beautiful Dreamer, please sleep with me.
Bask on a blanket of slumber so sweet.
Welcome a world that never decays
And opens to ultimate love everyday.
Beautiful Dreamer, King of my song,
Pursue my passion with limitless need
Deep in a dream that's lovely and long,
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with me?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with me?
CHORUS
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us tonight?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us, tonight?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us?
OLYMPIA
Let the trees bend with the breeze.
Let the waves defend the seas.
Let our love appreciate that life is only borrowed.
Let the lame have their disease.
Let the truth have Socrates.
Let our love become the grease that slides away from sorrow.
Let the humble have their knees.
Let the pinnacles be pleased.
Let our love become the seeds that turn into tomorrow.

Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us, tonight?
Beautiful Dreamer, won't you sleep with us?
OLYMPIA
Let the trees bend with the breeze.
Let the waves defend the seas.
Let our love appreciate that life is only borrowed.
Let the lame have their disease.
Let the truth have Socrates.
Let our love become the grease that slides away from sorrow.
Let the humble have their knees.
Let the pinnacles be pleased.
Let our love become the seeds that turn into tomorrow.
Further affiant sayeth not.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
Amazing song.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
cause theres too many places Ive got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I cant change.
But please dont take it badly,
cause lord knows Im to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldnt be the same.
Cause Im as free as a bird now,
And this bird youll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I cant change.
Lord help me, I cant change.

Oh god, I can't stand that song. It. Never. Ends. That's pretty much the only reason though.

Queen - One Year Of Love
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
My heart cries out to your heart,
I'm lonely but you can save me,
My hand reaches out for your hand,
I'm cold but you light the fire in me,
My lips search for your lips,
I'm hungry for your touch,
There's so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender
And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much,
Oooh yes it hurtsm
And pain is so close to pleasure,
And all I can do is surrender to your love,
Just surrender to your love,
Just one year of love,
Is better that a lifetime alone,
One sentimental moment in your arms,
Is like a shooting star right through my heart,
It's always a rainy day without you,
I'm a prisoner of love inside you -
I'm falling apart all around you - yeah.
And all I can do is surrender.

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Yesterday, when driving here, I listened to an old tape with ballads from my youth (1994 - 95).
One of the songs was "Jessie" by Joshua Kadison, a big hit back then. I still like it a lot.
A certain word (guess which one ) triggered me to rewrite the lyrics a bit in my head...
From a phone booth in Vegas, Kitty calls at 5 A.M.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, "Baby, I've been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could go to Peru... you, the cat and me.
We'll drink tequila and look for sea shells.
Now, doesn't that sound sweet?"
Oh, Kitty, you always do this every time I get back on my feet.
Kitty paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Kitty you can always sell bacon dreams to me.
Oh, Kitty, you can always sell bacon dream to me.
She asks me how the cat's been. I say, "Porche, she's just fine
but she used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your cave portrait down off the wall.
Oh, Kitty, how do you always seem to know just when to call?"
She says, "Get your stuff together. Bring Porche and drive real fast."
And I listen to her promise, "I swear to Giz this time it's gonna last."
Kitty paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.

But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Kitty you can always sell bacon dreams to me.
I'll love you in the Bubblie, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time things'll turn out just the way you planned.
