Vnv Nation - Legion.

Enveloped in a sentiment,
a sound that rushes over me.
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure.
Not forgetting what it means to dream.
Indulging everything.
Entertaining thoughts that I've the strength
of those I yearn to be.
Cheers and tribute greet the saviours.
Reckless thoughts survive.
Anachronistic and impulsive.

And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes.
For a second please hold me.
None can change in me these things that I believe.
But I don't know what happens now.
I am too scared to close my eyes.

Jann Arden Waiting In Canada

Every tear you cry
Every doubt you have
All of these things will pass away
All of your big mistakes
Your little old heart would break
Im wishing that I could take them back
Write down the things you dont want
Burn them in a glass
Write down the things you dream of
Make a paper plane that flies to heaven
And buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby
Or drive your car all night by just starlight to canada
Thats where Ill be
Waiting
All of the empty rooms
All of the silent space
Every warm embrace is you
Nothing is like it was
Theres nobody here but us
I have been filled right up with this
Write down the words of sadness
Burn them in a cup
Write down the things youve wanted
Throw them to the wind thats soaring up to heaven
And buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby
Or drive your car all night by just starlight
To canada
Oh buy a ticket for a plane and come and see me baby
Or drive your car all night by just starlight
To canada
Thats where Ill be
Waiting
Waiting

This is the obscurest of the obscure. I don't think it's ever been recorded. This is all I remember of a song called Three Lane Highway by Tim Sample. I think this must have been the chorus.

And the time should never come
when I condemn my brother
for we each have got to walk this road alone
so alone
and I know the myst'ry hinges
on our love for one another
and I'd surely like
to find my way back home.

My favorite song.

The Late Show

Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doing
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they could care
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear

Now to see things clear it's hard enough I know
While you're waiting for reality to show
Without dreaming of the perfect love
And holding it so far above
That if you stumbled onto someone real you'd never know
(You'd never know)
You could be with somebody who is lonely too
(Sometimes it doesn't show)
He might be trying to get across to you
(words can be so slow)
When your own emptiness is all that's getting through
There comes a point when you're not sure why you're still talking
I passed that point long ago
(Long ago)
Now I'm so tired of all this circling
And all these glimpses of the end
(You know it's useless to pretend)
That's all the voices say:
"You'll go right on circling
Until you've found some kind of friend"

I saw you through the laughter and the noise
You were talking with the soldiers and the boys
While they scuffled for your weary smiles
I thought of all the empty miles
And the years that I've spent looking for your eyes
(Looking for your eyes)
And now I'm sitting here wondering what to say
(That you might recognize)
Afraid that all these words might scare you away
(And break through the disguise)
No one ever talks about their feelings anyway
Without dressing them in dreams and laughter
I guess it's just too painful otherwise

Look
It's like you're standing in the window
Of a house nobody lives in
And I'm sitting in a car across the way
(Let's just say)
It's an early model Chevrolet
(Let's just say)
It's a warm and windy day
You go and pack your sorrow
The trash man comes tomorrow
Leave it at the curb and we'll just roll away

Gotye - Hearts a Mess.

Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine

You have lost
(Too much love)
To fear, doubt and distrust
(Its not enough)
You just threw away the key
(To your heart)

You dont get burned
(Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see

Love aint fair
So there you are
My love

Your hearts a mess
You wont admit to it
It makes no sense
But Im desperate to connect
And you, you cant live like this

Your hearts a mess
You wont admit to it
It makes no sense
But Im desperate to connect
And you, you cant live like this

Your hearts a mess
You wont admit to it
It makes no sense
But Im desperate to connect
And you, you cant live like this

Love aint safe
You wont get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I dont wanna waste my love

Eve 6 - Inside Out

I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds,
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside,
swallow my doubt
turn it inside out
find nothing but faith in nothing.
Want to put my tender heart in a blender,
watch it spin 'round into a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet,
chalk white and oh so frail.
I see our time has gotten stale.
The tick tock of the clock is painful,
all sane and logical.
I want to tear it off the wall.
I hear words in clips and phrases,
I think sick like ginger ale,
My stomach turns and I exhale.

I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds,
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside.
I would swallow my doubt,
turn it inside out,
find nothing but faith in nothing.
Want to put my tender heart in a blender,
watch it spin 'round into a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you.

SoCal is where my mind states,
but it's not my state of mind.
I'm not as ugly, sad as you.
Or am I origami?
Folded up and just pretend,
demented as the motives in your head.

I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds,
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside.
I would swallow my doubt,
turn it inside out,
find nothing but faith in nothing.
Want to put my tender heart in a blender,
watch it spin 'round into a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous, then I'm through with you .

I alone am the one you don't know you need
take heed, feed your ego.
Make me blind when your eyes close,
sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost.

I alone am the one you don't know you need,
you don't know you need me.
Make me blind when your eyes close,
Tie me to the bedpost.

I would swallow my pride,
I would choke on the rinds,
but the lack thereof would leave me empty inside.
Swallow my doubt,
turn it inside out,
find nothing but faith in nothing.
Want to put my tender heart in a blender,
watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion.
Rendezvous, then I'm through,
now I'm through with you

through with you

rendezvous then I'm through with you...

That made me want to go listen to that song.

1000 years- Christina Perri


Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid

To fall

But watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

Suddenly goes away somehow


One step closer


(Chorus)

I have died everyday

waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more


(Verse 2)

Time stands still

Beauty I know she is

I will be brave

I will not let anything
Take away

What's standing in front of me

Every breath,
Every hour has come to this


One step closer


(Chorus)

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a
Thousand more


And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought

Your heart to me

I have loved you for a
Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more


One step closer

One step closer


(Chorus)

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid,

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a

Thousand more


And all along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought
Your heart to me

I have loved you for a

Thousand years

I'll love you for a
Thousand more

La Mataré

Yo la sentaba en mi regazo,
Enloquecía sólo a su contacto.
La he conservado en la memoria.
Tal como estaba.
Siempre a mi lado.
Nunca me juró su amor
Lo creía eterno yo.
Y ella me sonreía y
Miraba hacia el mar.

Me emborrachaba entre sus brazos
Ella nunca bebía, ni la vi llorando,
Yo hubiera muerto por su risa.
Hubiera sido su feliz esclavo.
Qué dolor sucio y traidor
Me envenena el corazón.
Sé que ella nunca enloqueció.
Jamás perdió el control.

Quiero verla bailar entre los muertos,
La cintura morena que me volvió loco,
Llevo un velo de sangre en la mirada,
Y un deseo en el alma,
Que jamás la encuentre.
Sólo quiero que una vez
Algo la haga conmover.
Que no la encuentre jamás
O sé que la mataré.

Por favor sólo quiero matarla.
A punta de navaja
Besándola una vez más.

Downbound Train - Springsteen

I had a job, I had a girl
I had something going mister in this world
I got laid off down at the lumber yard
Our love went bad, times got hard
Now I work down at the carwash
Where all it ever does is rain
Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

She just said "Joe I gotta go
We had it once we ain't got it any more"
She packed her bags left me behind
She bought a ticket on the Central Line
Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining
I feel her kiss in the misty rain
And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train

Last night I heard your voice
You were crying, crying, you were so alone
You said your love had never died
You were waiting for me at home
Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods
I ran till I thought my chest would explode
There in the clearing, beyond the highway
In the moonlight, our wedding house shone
I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door
My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed
The room was dark, our bed was empty
Then I heard that long whistle whine
And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried

Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang
Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain
Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train

Surfer's Punk's [Aquaman]

Quiero volar y estrellarme en el fondo del mar
Mis amigos Surfer Punk del Salvador me ayudarán
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena.

Cruzaremos los mares y montañas de agua
Con mis amigos Surfer Punk del Salvador
Trataremos rescatarla
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena

Aquaman donde estaras?...
Aquaman donde estaras?...
Aquaman donde estaras?...
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena
Porque hay una sirena que esta muriendo de pena

Aquaman donde estaras?...
Aquaman donde estaras?...
Aquaman donde estaras?...

Believe In Me-Dan Fogelberg


If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart despite
The doubts you harbor then you might
Come to believe in me

The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find
That you can believe in me

Those other loves that came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me

Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real

If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me

And makes you believe in me
Oh, you can believe in me

You Had Me At Hello

I'm missing you so much, I'll say you died tonight
Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise
I know these times are hard and I feel this too
None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you

And I'm wasting away, away from you
And I'm wasting away, away from you

What have I gotten into this time around?
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to

You had me at hello.

I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
It's simply radiant, I see it more with everyday that goes by
I watch the clock to make my timing just right

Would it be okay?
Would it be okay if I took your breath away?

And I'm wasting away, away from you.
And I'm wasting away, away from you.

What have I gotten into this time around?
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello

You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies at the mailbox (you had me at hello)

You gave me butterflies (you are so you)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies (you are so you)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
You gave me butterflies (you are so you)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)

What have I gotten into this time around?
I know You gave me butterflies (you are so you)
at the mailbox (you had me at hello)
at I had sworn I'd never trust
anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
You had me at hello

"Never Too Late" by Hedley

Hoping I can run today and get away faster
Than ever from here
Another night and who can say if leaving is better
Than living in fear

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight
Here's to all the "fall-a-parts" tonight
Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy
They let it get away

You know it's never too late
Get up and start all over again
You know it's never too late
There's got to be a better way
Don't settle for the cold and rain
It's not too late to start again
Find a way to smile and never let it get away!

It's been too long and we've been down and out without laughter
No smiling just tears
We're tired of falling down and being such a disaster
We've been here for years

Here's to all the broken hearts tonight
Here's to all the "fall-a-parts" tonight
Here's to every girl and boy who lost their joy
They let it get away

You know it's never too late
Get up and start all over again
You know it's never too late
There's got to be a better way
Don't settle for the cold and rain
It's not too late to start again
Find a way to smile and never let it get away!

I'm gone, I'm gone, there's got to be a better way, I'm gone
I'm gone, I'm gone, there's got to be a better way, I'm gone

You know it's never too late
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
You know it's never too late
(I'm gone, I'm gone)
There's got to be a better way
(I'm gone, I'm gone)

Heaven Is

Hey boys, Miss Magic is back
No Hollywood waste or tinsel trash
Street kid, she's no stray cat
Heaven on legs she's feline flash
Takes a good woman to play a good man
And no one plays like heaven can

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad

Hey guys, Miss Magic is mine
No silicone smile she's a vintage wine
Bombshell blond, red lipstick on
Aquiline fine, she's a real wild one

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
Call you right back
When I get home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, no

She got the rhythm to drive me crazy
She got the rhythm of love

She said leave your name
At the sound of the tone
The lights are out
But there's somebody home
Better watch out
When we're all alone

Heaven is a girl I know so well
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel better when I'm feelin' bad
Heaven is a girl that makes dreams come true
Oh, no one does it good like heaven do, yeah

Heaven is a girl that I've got to have
She makes me feel good when I feel like hell
Heaven is a girl she makes dreams come true
And no one does it good like heaven do
That voodoo that you do ...

Where you want to be
That's right
I'll take you ...

A$$hole

(SPOKEN)
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the sub-cockle area, maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys, maybe even in the colon. We don't know…

(SUNG)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.
My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table and a Cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested (oh no) no way (uh-uh). No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense.
(oh yeah) yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, what an A$$hole)
I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, such an A$$hole)

I use public toilets and piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"

I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, what an A$$hole)
I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, such an A$$hole)

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
I'm an a$$hole (He's an a$$hole, what an a$$hole)
I'm an a$$hole (He's a real f@cking a$$hole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong…
NAAAAH!!!!

I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, what an A$$hole)
I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, such an A$$hole)

(SPOKEN)
You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounders cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a God-damned thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why!

Two words--nuclear f@cking weapons, OK? Russia, Germany, Romania - they can have all the democracy they want. They can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of Tiananmen Square and it won't make a lick of difference, because we’ve got the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead - he's frozen! And when we find a cure for cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million times. That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be.

I'm gonna get the Duke and John Cassavetes and Lee Marvin (Hey) and Sam Peckinpah (Hey) and a case of whisky (Hey) and drive down to Texas… (Hey, Hey, Hey)

(Hey you know you really are an a$$hole)
Why don’t you just shut up and sing this song pal.
I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, what an A$$hole)
I'm an A$$hole (He's an A$$hole, such an A$$hole)

Whatever

I've got to save the world, liberate
Eat the food that's on my plate
Recycling is really great
Whatever I can do
To get in bed with you

I'll be a Marxist, a Communist
A pacifist, an anarchist, a Democrat
Red, white, green or blue
Whatever I can do
To get in bed with you

I never knew I gave a damn
Until you told me who I am
And what to do
Whatever I can do
To get in bed with you

'Cause I know war is bad and love is really good
Taking a stand starts in your neighborhood
I do the best I can just like you say I should
The ones who make a difference are few
So what can I do
To get in bed with you

I'd love to hear your world peace plan
Why don't you tell me in my van
We can discuss Camus
Whatever I can do
To get in bed with you

I've got to change my mind, masticate
Use condoms when I fornicate
Until I hyperventilate
Whatever I can do
Your balls are turning blue

I've got to save the world, liberate
Eat the food that's on my plate
Recycling is really great
Whatever I can do
To get in bed with you

What I can do
To get in bed with you
What I can do
To get in bed with you

Master Of Puppets

End of passion play
Crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear
Sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master

Master
Master

Master of puppets
I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me
You can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master
Master

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master
Master

Needlework the way
Never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly
Ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master

Master
Master

Master of puppets
I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me

(Bridge)

(1st solo - James)

Master, master
Where's the dreams that I've been after?

Master, master
Promised only lies

Laughter, laughter
All I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter
Laughing at my cries

FIX ME!!

(2nd solo - Kirk)

Hell is worth all that
Natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never-ending maze
Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master

Master
Master

Master of puppets
I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me
You can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Master

Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Defying Gravity from Wicked

This song was so important to me a few years ago when I was deciding whether I would live or die. Last night I heard it again and I realized how much it still says what I need to say.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down

I'm through accepting limits'
'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down




So, if you care to find me, look to the Western sky..........
