Funhouse- PINK (3/24/09)
I know that this is sort of a mainstream song-- I hope to get more indie later, but for now it'll have to do-- it's how I feel right now... Dark lyrics with a fun beat.
I dance around this empty house
Tear us down
Throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall
Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle
Now a rash
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down
9, 8, 7, 6 5 4, 3, 2, 1, fun
Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory
I've called the movers
Called the maids
We'll try to exorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble tumble house of cards
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down
9, 8, 7, 6 5 4, 3, 2, 1, fun
Oh, I'm crawling through the doggy door
My key don't fit my lock no more
I'll change the drapes
I'll break the plates
I'll find a new place
Burn this fucker down
do do do do dodo do
do do do do dodo do
do do do do dodo do
do do do do dadadada
do do do do dodo do (9, 8, 7, 6 5 4, 3, 2, 1)
do do do do dodo do
do do do do dodo do
do do do do dodo doo
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down
This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down down down
I'm gonna burn it down
a perfect sonnet- Bright Eyes (3/25/09)
I feel kind of like I don't know what to do... what to say... kind of in a nostalgic mood, you know? This song is perfect. Have any of you heard of Bright Eyes? Their music is amazing... You should have a listen.
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire,
Something that would make me never want another,
Something that would make it so that nothing matters,
All would be clearer then
But I guess I'll have to settle for a few brief moments,
And watch it all dissolve into a single second,
And try to write it down into a perfect sonnet,
Or one foolish line
'Cause that's all that you'll get,
So you'll have to accept,
You are here ,
Then you're gone
I believe that lovers should be tied together,
Thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather,
Left there to drown,
Left there to drown in their innocence
But as for me I'm coming to the final chapter,
I've read all of the pages and there's still no answer,
The only words before I know will soon come after,
It’s the only way it can be.
So I stand in the sun,
And I breathe with my lungs,
Trying to spare me the weight of the truth,
Seeing everything you've ever seen was just a mirror,
Spend your whole life sweating in an endless fever,
Laying in a bathtub full of freezing water,
Wishing you were a ghost
But once you knew a girl and you named her Lover,
And danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summers
But autumn came,
She disappeared,
You can't remember
Where she said she was going to
But you know that she's gone,
'Cause she left you a song,
That you don't wanna sing
Singing: I believe that lovers should be chained together,
Thrown into a fire with their songs and letters,
And left there to burn,
Left there to burn in their arrogance
But as for me I'm coming to my final failure,
I've killed myself with changes trying to make things better,
But still ended up becoming something other,
Than what I had planned to be
All right!
Now I believe that lovers should be draped in flowers,
And laid entwined together on a bed of clover,
And left there to sleep,
Left there to dream of their happiness.
Admit It!!!-Say Anything (3/26/09)
If you guys know me at all, you know I am obsessed with this song. I just love it. If you haven't heard of them, they are the funniest band ever. Take a look sometime.
ADMIT IT! Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance and vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs, you know nothing ABOUT art or sex that you couldn't read in any trendy new york underground fashion magazine...Proto-typical non-conformist. You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store gestapo. You adhere to a set of standards and tastes that appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges-BULLSHIT-giving your thumbs up and thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art. Go analog baby, you're so post-modern. You're diving face forward into an antiquated past, it's disgusting! It's offensive! Don't stick your nose up at me!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends, pontificating to each other, forever competing for that one moment of self aggrandizing glory in which you hog the intellectual spotlight, holding dominion over the entire SHALLOW....POINTLESS...conversation. Oh we're not worthy.
When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people you chuckle to yourself, patting yourself on the back as you scoff. It's the same superority complex shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell, makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma you spend every moment of your waking life BITCHING about!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah,Woah!
Cause I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar, proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar.
Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved. I spend hours in front of the mirror making my hair elegantly disheveled. I worry about how this album will sell because I believe it will determine the amount of SEX I will have in the future. I self-medicate with drugs and alcohol to help treat my extreme social anxiety problem. You are a FAKER! ADMIT IT!You are a FRAUD!ADMIT IT! You're living a LIE! your life is living a lie! You don't impress me! ADMIT IT! You don't intimidate me! ADMIT IT! Why don't you bow down, get on the ground, walk this fucking plank!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah!
Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?
Woah,Woah,Woah!
I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner i've become. You're free to whine. It will not get you far. I do just fine, my car and my guitar,guitar go!
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah
I drift, drift, drift, drift, drift, yeah oh
And I am done with this,
I wanna taste the breeze of every great city ,
My car and my guitar,
My car and my guitar,
So you'll come to be, made of these urges unfulfilled,
Oh no, no, no, no, no,
When I'm dead I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, lay still,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest,
Welcome Home- Coheed and Cambria (3/27/09)
Have you guys ever felt like someone you cared about was lying to you? So have I. So this song is a shout-out to all of those people who spend their time feeling betrayed. (PS: It's short, so it's quicker reading!)
You could've been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would've endured my world
Well you're just as I presumed
A whore in sheep's clothing
Fucking up all I do
And if so here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played Martyr,
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion, you'll die as you sleep
But if you could just write me out
To neverless wonder... happy will I become
Be true that this is no option,
So with sin I condemn you
Demon play, demon out!
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
I'd do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
Before I hope you die
Fight Song- Appleseed Cast (3/28/09)
This is a band i just discovered... well, yesterday. They're pretty awesome. They have good instrumentals and pretty lyrics, and the singing is okay, too. Thanks to all of you for reading and I hope you like them!
and there on the stairs,
standing there,
arm outstretched,
point and glare,
watching the love,
fall to our feet,
into the floor to disappear.
We're finding fault,
you kissed her
or you slept with him,
or you didn't care…
now it all breaks,
disintegrates.
Well this is the last thing I'll take
because I can't face you now.
This is the end, there's nothing to keep.
This is the end of you and me.
As the ice comes down it's the end,
as the lies come out it's the end,
as the tears flow out it's the end.
it's the end of you and me,
so we'll look out on the lake
and we see the white light.
I said it was gold.
It should have been gold.
Then maybe all the crazy things you said
would have some meaning,
but this thing we have made it can't stop,
it won't stop… and I can't face you now.
Take your troubles solo, this is the end of you and me.
The Happiest Place on Earth- Desaparecidos (3/29/09)
These people are pure rage and emotion and it's beautiful. If you think America's corrupt, you should take a listen.
[EDIT: I just found out that the Desaparecidos was headed by the same singer as the guy who heads Bright Eyes. This explains the angry, wobbly, tone-deaf voice.]
I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live
I don't want to be ashamed to be American
But opportunity no, it don't exist
It's the opiate of the populace
We need some harder shit now
The truth is getting around
And each public school is a halfway house
Where the huddled masses sober up and up enough
There's not enough to fatten the cows
And feed all of us
It's just a rationing of luck
What can't be bought gets raffled off
Oh God good God shed greed on thee
Your shining sea turned a dirty green
From the industry off the shores of New Jersey
I got a letter from the army
So I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing
I just want to kill something
Too bad that now-a-days you just point and click Swing low satellite
Hot white chariot
In the computer's blue glare
The bombs burst in the air
There was a city once now nothing is there
Our freedom comes at their expense
It makes sense, does it? Dollars and cents
They're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
That is surrounding your housing development
Just in case you lack the confidence
Oh God my God give strength to thee
These amber waves purple majesty
Are nothing but backdrops for Disney
We'll look up close
It is superimposed on a blank blue screen
It is fantasy fucking magical
The dreams floats like a chemical
Through each snapped synapse our television past That is beautiful no more no more
Pitiful- Sick Puppies (3/30/09)
This is a message to people everywhere... I dunno. I'm so sick and tired of people who don't know what they mean when they say life sucks. Life does suck, but do you try to kill yourself? Does that make sense to you?
Made the toast,
Burnt the eggs,
Never got the hang of them,
Just another other day.
Caught the bus,
Forgot the change,
Looks like I'll be late again,
Hopefully they won't complain.
My lifes so pitiful,
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all,
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet.
And I'll try every drug I find,
Except maybe heroin and cyanide,
But theres a reason I just can't afford it yet.
Oh, its just another overdose
Went to work,
Saw you there,
But you never seem to care,
For a single thing I say.
I set the clock and went to sleep,
This anxiety I keep,
Through another fucking day.
(Looks like that's all today i'm dying)
My lifes so pitiful,
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all,
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet.
And I'll try every drug I find,
Except maybe heroin and cyanide,
But theres a reason I just can't afford it yet.
Oh, its just another overdose.
My life's so pitiful..
Pitiful..
Pitiful..
Pitiful..
Pitiful..
My lifes so pitiful,
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't end it all,
If there's a reason then I haven't found it yet.
And I'll try every drug I find,
Except maybe heroin and cyanide,
But theres a reason I just can't afford it yet.
Well my life's so pitiful.
My life's so pitiful.
My life's so pitiful.
I'm dying.
Heart-Shaped Glasses- Marilyn Manson (3/31/09)
I've seen several versions of these lyrics, and I couldn't decide, because they all sound pretty close... if you have corrections, feel free to correct me, and enjoy this classic.
She reminds me of the one in school,
when I was gutted she was dressed in white.
And I couldn't take my eyes off her,
but that's not what I took off that night,.
She'll never cover up what we did with her dress.
No.
She said "kiss me it'll heal,
but it won't forget".
"Kiss me it'll heal,
but it won't forget".
I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you,
and stick me too.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Making me low.
That blue is getting me high.
Making me low.
She reminds me of the one I knew that cut up the negatives of my life.
I couldn't take my hands off her,
she wouldn't let me be anywhere but inside.
I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you,
and stick me too.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Making me low.
She'll never cover up what we do with the dress.
No.
She said "kiss me it'll heal,
but it won't forget".
"Kiss me it'll heal,
but it won't forget".
I don't mind you keeping me on pins and needles.
If I could stick to you,
and could stick me too.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Don't break,
Don't break my heart,
and I won't break your heart shaped glasses.
Little girl,
little girl you should close your eyes,
that blue is getting me high.
Making me low.
Bodies- Drowning Pool (4/1/09)
Someone said THIS was my anthem. I had to disagree. I am NOT disturbed (ONE nothing wrong with me TWO nothing wrong with me aha). And I don't have an issue about killing people. Have you EVER heard me whisper "Let the bodies hit the floor" in a monotone? I mean, really. I don't. Seriously? Unless it's in a horror movie. In which case I have every right, because it's a horror movie. People are supposed to die.
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the... FLOOR!
Beaten... why for?
Can't take much more
Here we go... Here we go... Here we go (now)
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the, floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the, floor!
(Oh! )
Push, me again
This is the end
Here we go... Here we go... Here we go (now)
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the, floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Skin against skin, blood and bone
You're all by yourself, but you're not alone
You wanted in, and now you're here
Driven by hate, consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor!
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something's got to give
Two - Something's got to give
Three - Something's got to give
Now!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Hey go... Hey go... Hey go... Hey go!
Hey Man, Nice Shot- Filter (4/2/09)
This isn't celebrating suicide... It's about a suicide, though. It's just celebrating someone having the guts to stand up for what he believed in. If you want to know more about the case, look up Budd Dwyer. It's short, so read it!
I wish I would've met you;
now it's a little late.
What you could've taught me,
I could've saved some face.
They think that your early ending was all wrong;
for the most part they're right,
but look how they all got strong.
That's why I say, "Hey man, nice shot."
"... a good shot, man."
2x
A man has gun -
a man, have fun.
Nice shot!
Now that the smokes gone,
and the air is all clear:
those who were right there
had a new kind of fear.
You'd fight and you were right -
but, they were just too strong.
They'd stick it in your face
and let you smell what they consider wrong.
That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot."
"...a good shot, man."
That's why I say "Hey man, nice shot."
"...what a good shot, man."
A man has gun -
a man, have fun.
2x
Oh, nice shot man!
2x
Oh, I wish I would've met you.
I wish I would've met you, oh.
I wish I would've met you, oh.
I wish I would've met you,
I'd say, "Nice shot."
Someday- The Strokes (4/3/09)
I love this song. It's got a catchy beat and I first heard it on some movie preview. That was my first taste of The Strokes. Well, besides the obvious Reptilia. I mean, I've played Rock Band. But I love them now and this was my first serious obsession.
In many ways they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young oh man did we have fun
Always, always
Promises they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes
Oh, My ex says im lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling your head's not right
I see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes.
Oh someday.
I ain't wasting no more time.
Trying, trying.
And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So I, sometimes
Say "fate my friend", you say the strangest things
I find, sometimes
Oh, My ex says i'm lacking in depth
Say I will try my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling your head's not right
I see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes.
Oh someday
I ain't wasting no more time
Lithium- Nirvana (4/4/09)
This is an amazing song! I love Nirvana so much... I actually cried when I learned Kurt Cobain was dead. I mean, it was like finding out there was no Santa.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay
'Cause so are you
Broke our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday
For all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found God
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
I'm so lonely, that's ok
I shaved my head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay
My will is good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I killed you I'm not gonna crack
Situations- Escape the Fate (4/5/09)
I just discovered the existence of this band, and I love them. This song is so... so... stereotypical "Top 100 Rock." But it's good for all its cliched ways.
The situations are irrelevant now.
She loves the way that I tease.
I love the way that she breathes.
I touched her (ohh).
She touched my (ahhh).
It was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who hate to love because they're just like me.
A certain girl she took my hand and ran it up her thigh.
She licked her lips and pulled my hair I fall in love for a night.
She can't behave and I'm just a slave.
Don’t worry, I'll be gone when the morning comes.
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened, lying is your favorite passion.
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion.
The frustration it's a regular thing
I hate the ones who love to hate because they're just like me.
A certain girl she took her hand and put in my lap
"It's way too full," she said, "Once you have me you'll always come back."
She can't behave and I'm just a slave.
Don’t worry, I'll be gone when the morning comes.
Darling, what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened, lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion.
I know you love to resist and all it takes is a kiss and you just
Love to hate me.
You know you love all the lies, so don’t act surprised but I just
Love to hate you.
I kissed your lips you pulled my hair, it was the craziest thing.
I love the girls who love to hate... (Breathing)
(Whoa!) Darling, what is going on?
Honestly that never happened, lying is your favorite passion
Leave me, go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins, dying is your latest fashion
Darling(leave me), what is going on?
Honestly, that never happened lying is your favorite passion
Leave me(darling), go where you belong
Higher heels and lipstick napkins dying is your favorite PASSION
Speeding Cars- Imogen Heaps (4/9/09)
Considering I just got home from NOLA, I suppose I should do Welcome Home again. But this song is good too. She has such a perfect voice... I want it!
Here’s the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violins
Just run with me through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it's more than just bad luck
There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie
Never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this
Now's a bad a time as any
There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Yeah, yeah, wow
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago
There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah
Circus- Britney Spears (4/11/09)
I can't help it... IT'S SO FREAKING CATCHY. IT'S LIKE... I HEARD IT ONCE AND I LEARNED ALL THE WORDS. God. I'm almost embarrassed. Actually, I am embarrassed. *looks down*
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so beware
I'm a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
Let's go
Let me see what you can do
I'm runnin' this like-like-like a circus
Yeah, like a what? Like-like-like a circus
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
Human- The Killers (4/14/09)
I love this band. Listen to this song. It'll be stuck in your head FOREVER.
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart
Cut the cord
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave goodbye, wish me well
You've gotta let me go
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we're receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
You've gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Are we human or are we dancers?
Are we human or are we dancers?
Friends and Lovers- Mickey Avalon (4/16/09)
Guess what! This song is explicit and somewhat inappropriate. And not for the faint-hearted. And as for my discovery of this band, blame the Danish guy who never emailed me back. This song means that it doesn't matter who you are, you end up the same way in the end... dead.
All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead
The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor
Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead
A slit wrist leaves a mess
On the breakfast table, oh yes
Betta' cut deep 'fore you go to sleep
But in the morning you're the one who gonna have to clean
Days I've seen make a priest lose his beliefs
Like Kathy crawlin' 'cross the carpet in the bloodstained briefs
Chewin pills like she was starvin' for a taste of relief
Her last wind was in the trash can; couldn't beat the disease
All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead
The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor
Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Johnny made a record, went straight to number one
But Johnny had a little fascination with guns
And cocaine, he couldn't stand to take the slow train
Got a little fortune, lost his breaks in the rain, ooo
What to do when your luck is through
Whether you come from the slums or live in Malibu
Seen runnin' down the avenue
Mickey Avalon with an attitude
All my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Some from cheap narcotics and others from... lead
The filthy rich and the dirt-dirt poor
Are all the same when they can't take no more
'Cause all my friends and all my lovers are... dead
Lean Lee Tucker was a mean motherfucker
Seen him knock a man clean out his corduroy slippers
And that same man's queen (?) monster truck and hit him
Found him lifeless as a log in the Mississippi river
Tara was a stripper
Tara done that shit with a smile on her face and her hand on her liver
But I ain't mad, I forgive her
I just get a little sad everytime I fuck her sister
Killer Queen- Queen (4/17/09)
Today was the Day of Silence for the LGBT and all the bullies who use it. So I used Queen. (Like, Freddie Mercury, right?)
She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Mary Antoinette
A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
[CHORUS:]
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
[CHORUS]
Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive you wild, wild
She's all out to get you
[CHORUS]
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
You wanna try
Everybody Wants to Rule the World- Tears for Fears (4/18/09)
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while WE sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help ME make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had TO fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never NEVER need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
Music is my hot hot sex- CSS (4/20/09)
As you can most likely tell from the name, this song is not about rainbows and bunnies. Also, there's a part in Portuguese (the last part). I couldn't translate it (sorry!).
From all the drugs the one i like more is music
From all the junks the one i need more is music
From all the boys the one i take home is music
From all the ladies the one i kiss is music (muah!)
Music is my boyfriend
Music is my girlfriend
Music is my dead end
Music is my imaginary friend
Music is my brother
Music is my great-grand-daughter
Music is my sister
Music is my favorite mistress
From all the shit the one i gotta buy is music
From all the jobs the one i choose is music
From all the drinks i get drunk of music
From all the bitches the one i wannabe is music
Music is my beach house
Music is my hometown
Music is my kingsize bed
Music's where I make my friends
Music is my hot hot bath
Music is my hot hot sex
Music is my back rub
My music is where I'd like you to touch
Claro-que-sim
Fui escoteira-mirim
Direto da escola, não
Não ia cheirar cola
Nem basquete, pebolim
O que eu gosto não é de graça
O que gosto não é farsa
Tem guitarra, bateria, computador saindo som
Alguns dizem que mais alto que um furacão (rhéum)
Perto dele eu podia sentir
Saía de seu olho e chegava em mim
Sentada do seu lado
Eu queria encostar
Faria o tigela até o sol raiar
Debaixo do lençol
Ele gemia em ré bemol
Fiquei tensa
Mas tava tudo bem
Ele é fodão, mas eu sei que eu sou também
No You Girls Never Know- Franz Ferdinand (4/21/09)
This song speaks truth... Sometimes I wonder if anyone knows or cares how anyone else feels, and how other people feel about that. It's like we're all in some big lie and no one wants to think about the truth.
Flick your cigarette and then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won't meet me
Meet me where your mind won't kiss me
Flick your eyes at mine and then hit me
Hit me with your eyes so sweetly
Oh, you know you know you know that yes I love you
I mean I'd love to get to know you
But Do you never wonder?
No?
No You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy
Oh, kiss me
Flick your cigarette, then kiss me
Kiss me where your eye won't meet me
Meet me where your eye won't flick me
Flick your mind at mine so briefly
Oh you know, you know you're so sweetly
Oh you know, you know that I know that I love you
I mean I, I mean I need to love
But do you ever wonder?
No, no no no
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
You girls never know
Oh no, you girls'll never know
No you girls never know
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy feel
How you make a boy
Sometimes I say stupid things
I think
I mean I
Sometimes I think the stupidest things
Because I never wonder
How the girl feels
How the girl feels
No you boys never care
Oh no you boys'll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels
No you boys never care
You dirty boys'll never care
No you boys never care
How the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels
Oh how the girl feels
Homecoming- Hey Monday (4/22/09)
This song is fun. It reminds me of Fall Out Boy, only it's a girl singing. Come to think of it, it brings Paramore to mind, too. It's just so catchy and easy to dance to.
Homecoming, I’m coming
My sweet mistake
Summer’s over, hope it’s not too late
I’m pacing, impatient
Up in my head
Taken back to the sidewalk where we met
And carved out our names
Do you remember that?
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I’m coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I’m falling, falling apart for you
Descending, I’m spinning
Lost all defense
How could you swallow me again?
I left you, I meant to
Couldn’t let you in
Never mind a single word I said
Carve out your name
Do you remember that?
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
I’m coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I’m falling, falling apart
You’ve got control of me
Is this the end of me?
‘Cause I just can’t cut up the strings
I’m coming back for more
Don’t let your heart go
Please don’t walk away
Homecoming, I’m coming, I’m coming back
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you
I’m coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I’m falling, falling apart
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Did you take off while I was gone?
I missed it all, I messed you up, I missed you.
I’m coming home, I wanna know
When all the leaves begin to fall
If I’m falling, falling apart
Stairway to Heaven- Led Zeppelin (4/25/09)
This is an amazing song. Not only is it pretty, but it also has a story behind it. I know a lot of people who think I have no taste in music at all (me and my "new era" music-- what do I think about the rock gods?) but this song has to be universal, or else there is absolutely no fairness in this world.
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
Title.
It's my birthday. So...
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday dear [insert name here]
Happy birthday to me.
The best present would be a nice comment!
Emily Kane-Art Brut (5/6/09)
This song is so funny and sweet, too. It's so nice and I like the idea. But no one writes people like me songs. Oh well. Enough angst. On with the song!
I was your boyfriend when we were 15
It's the happiest that I've ever been
Even though we didn't understand
How to do much more than just hold hands
There's so much about you I miss
The clumsy way we used to kiss
I wish I convinced you, you've made a mistake
If memory serves, we're still on a break
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
Every girl that I've seen since
Looks just like you when I squint
I know you said it's for the best
I still don't understand why you left
So much about you I miss
Everytime I see a couple kiss
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I don't even know where she lives
I've not seen her in 10 years...
9 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 6 hours, 13 minutes, 5 seconds
Other girls went and other girls came
I can't get over my old flame
All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
There's a beast in my soul that can't be tamed
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I thought I'd never love again
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
The torch that I hold, is always a-flame
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
I hope this song finds you fame
I want schoolkids on buses singing your name
All my friends think I'm insane
I'm still in love with Emily Kane
Emily Kane, Emily Kane, Emily Kane!
