Brand New - Play Crack the Sky. I basically had this song on repeat after one particularly bad breakup like a fuckin emo kid. But the lyrics can still get me.
"Play Crack The Sky" We sent out the SOS call. It was a quarter past four in the morning when the storm broke our second anchor line. Four months at sea, four months of calm seas to be pounded in the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point. They call them rogues, they travel fast and alone. One-hundred-foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong. What they call love is a risk to always get hit out of nowhere by some wave and end up on your own. The hole in the hull defied the crews attempts to bail us out. And flooded the engines and radio and half buried bow. Your tongue is a rudder. It steers the whole ship. Sends your words past your lips or keeps them safe behind your teeth. But the wrong words will strand you. Come off course while you sleep. Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef. The vessel groans the ocean pressures its frame. To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and rain. And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts. But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west. They say that the captain stays fast with the ship through still and storm. But this ain't the Dakota, and the water is cold. We won't have to fight for long. This is the end. This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear. Calm me and let me taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath. I am the one who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea. I spoke the words but never gave a thought to what they all could mean. I know that this is what you want. A funeral keeps both of us apart. You know that you are not alone. Need you like water in my lungs. |

Yeah...I did the same with 'love hurts' by Nazareth after I broke up with my ex. It was pathetic really. Particularly when the 'tape' belonged to him and he came to collect it and I still wanted to listen to it but didn't want to admit I had been. lol

I'll vote for almost the entire Ani DiFranco corpus. There's too much to put here. And she plays some mighty good guitar.

The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins
The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Composed by Charles R. Grean Sung by Leonard Nimoy In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire. With his long wooden pipe, fuzzy, woolly toes, he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins He's only three feet tall Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins The bravest little hobbit of them all Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know They don't like to hurry and they take things slow They don't like to travel away from home They just want to eat and be left alone But one day Bilbo was asked to go on a big adventure to the caves below, to help some dwarves get back their gold that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old. Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins He's only three feet tall Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins The bravest little hobbit of them all Well he fought with the goblins! He battled a troll!! He riddled with Gollum!!! A magic ring he stole!!!! He was chased by wolves!!!!! Lost in the forest!!!!!! Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!! Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins The bravest little hobbit of them all Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire, that brave little hobbit whom we all admire, just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole. Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins He's only three feet tall Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins The bravest little hobbit of them all

OneRepublic - Apologize
I'm holding on your rope, Got me ten feet off the ground I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait You tell me that you're sorry Didn't think I'd turn around, and say... It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late I'd take another chance, take a fall Take a shot for you And I need you like a heart needs a beat But it's nothin new I loved you with a fire red- Now it's turning blue, and you say... "Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you But I'm afraid... It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late Bridge (guitar/piano) It's too late to apologize, it's too late I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late It's too late to apologize, yeah I said it's too late to apologize, yeah- I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground... I love the music to this - |

These people purposely obscure their lyrics....ha.....this is what they are really saying:
Hot stuff you dirty Irish!! My Bloody Valentine Lyrics Soft As Snow (But Warm Inside) Lyrics Soft as snow but warm inside Penetrate you cannot hide Feeling lost forever Really need you Feeling dark and feeling true This is all I ever knew Soft as skin in leather And I whisper 'you' Harder you come down on me Sink away you look happily Secrets keep forever They're undressing me Come inside it's warm in here Better now to have no fear Carried on a wave (Where it can lead) you Touch your head, then your hair Softer, softer everywhere Fingertips are burning Can I touch you there Soft as velvet eyes can see Bring me close to ecstacy High away to heaven And I'm coming too Float now coming down on me Handed you what I cannot see Feel the big happy, you're exploding me Soft as snow and warm inside Penetrate then redivide Slip away forever (Do we) need you A lot of their songs are dirty. I love it!!

I Don't Wanna Change The World
I Don't Wanna Change The World - Ozzy Osbourne
Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down Don't you try and teach me no original sin I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in CHORUS I don't wanna change the world I don't want the world to change me I don't want to change the world I don't want the world to change me Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you You telling all the people the original sin He says he knowsyou better than you'll ever know him CHORUS You know it ain't easy You know it ain't fair So don't try to please me Because I really don't care Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories Have gone away, so far away I've heard it said there's a light up ahead Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you Don't you try and teach me no original sin I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in CHORUS

DARN THAT DREAM
Benny Goodman - words by Eddie Delange Darn that dream I dream each night You say you love me and you hold me tight But when I awake, you're out of sight Oh, darn that dream Darn your lips and darn your eyes They lift me high above the moonlit skies Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream Darn that one-track mind of mine I can't understand that you don't care Just to change the mood I'm in I'd welcome a nice old nightmare Darn that dream and bless it too Without that dream, I never would have you But it haunts me and it won't come true Oh, darn that dream |

A song came on the radio that I haven't heard in ages. It was doing the rounds when me and J were beginning to realise it was over. It was the soundtrack to a car ad and ended up a fairly bg hit. It has a strange and melancholic tune. Very sweet.
J told me once it made him think of me. Then as we were in the middle of the break up it seemed to be on every radio play list. Its on my list of songs I still can't listen to without filling up. This and Radiohead's No Surpsies are atthe top of that little list. Aqualung: Strange and Beautiful. I've been watching your world from afar, I've been trying to be where you are, And I've been secretly falling apart, I'll see. To me, you're strange and you're beautiful, You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see, You turn every head but you don't see me. I'll put a spell on you, You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you. And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see, And you'll realise that you love me. Yeah... Yeah... Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first, Sometimes, the frist thing you want never comes, And I know, the waiting is all you can do, Sometimes... I'll put a spell on you, You'll fall asleep, I'll put a spell on you, And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see, And you'll realise that you love me. I'll put a spell on you, You'll fall asleep 'cos I'll put a spell on you, And when I wake you, I'll be the first thing you see, And you'll realise that you love me, yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... yeah... |
