Ben Folds Five - Philosophy
Won't you look up at the skyline
At the mortar, block, and glass
And check out the reflections in my eyes
See they always used to be there
Even when this was all was grass
And I sang and danced about a high-rise
And you were laughing at my helmet hat
Laughing at my torch
Go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I see that there is evil
And I know that there is good
And the in-betweens I never understood
Would you look at me I'm crazy
But I get the job done
I'm crazy but I get the job done
So go ahead and laugh all you want
I got my philosophy
And I trust it like the ground
That's why my philosophy
Keeps me walking when I'm falling down
I pushed you cause I loved you guys
I didn't realize
That you weren't having fun
And I dragged you up the stairs
And I told you to fly
You were flapping your arms
Then you started to cry, you were too high
Now you take this all for granted
You take the mortar, block, and glass
And you forget the speech that moved the stone
And it's really not that you can't see
The forest from the trees
You just never been out in the woods alone
So you can laugh all you want to
But I've got my philosophy
And I love you you're my friend
But you got no philosophy
Now it's time for this song to end
Song lyrics that kick your ass (yes, you specifically)

Matthew Good Band - I, The Throw Away
Made a man out of me
A killing machine
Your baby's going to die ma
Your baby's coming home
You know they put a man on the moon
Simply to prove that we all need a place to go
Where we're not known
We're not
And to a lesser degree
I can recall breathing easy
But the deficit rolls
Built up I suppose
Picking up the pieces
Of another fucked up reason
For selling of some freedom that was never free
Never absolutely
Never absolutely
Made a mess out of me
A killing machine
Sometimes when I need them
If I look hard enough to see them
I can find my feet
As I push against gravity
In and out of having them been
Led by defeat
So one more time's all I'll need
Made a man out of me
A killing machine
Your baby's going to die ma
Your baby's coming home
You know they put a man on the moon
Simply to prove that we all need a place to go
Where we're not known
We're not
And to a lesser degree
I can recall breathing easy
But the deficit rolls
Built up I suppose
Picking up the pieces
Of another fucked up reason
For selling of some freedom that was never free
Never absolutely
Never absolutely
Made a mess out of me
A killing machine
Sometimes when I need them
If I look hard enough to see them
I can find my feet
As I push against gravity
In and out of having them been
Led by defeat
So one more time's all I'll need
Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

Lying here with you,
Listening to the rain,
Smiling just to see, The smile upon your face,
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life,
I found all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.
Looking in your eyes,
Seeing all I need,
Everything you are, Is everything to me,
These are the moments, I know heaven must exist,
These are the moments, I know all I need is this,
I have all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.
Chorus:
I could not ask for more than this time together,
I could not ask for more than this time with you,
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I have's come true,
Yeah right here in this moment, Is that where I meant to be,
Here with you, Here with me. . .
These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments, I'll remember all my life,
I've got all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more. . .
Chorus:
I could not ask for more than this time together,
I could not ask for more than this time with you,
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I have's come true,
And right here in this moment, Is that where I meant to be,
Here with you, Here with me. . .
I could not ask for more than the love you give me,
Cause it's all I've waited for . . .
And I could not ask for more,
I could not ask for more.

"numb" by holly mcnarland
Chase destruction of your own emotions
And your need for love, makes you easy prey
Safety of the rubber glove seems much too simple
Climbing up and down, waiting for the day
You can't see if i'm not listening
You can't hear with my eyes open
I can hate with my eyes open
I feel better when i'm numb
Chase distraction of your own existance
Keep it clean, clean enough to stab
Lick your own wounds, anxious for the next one
Cry for more pain, heal what you have
You can't see if i'm not listening
You can't hear with my eyes open
I can't hate with my eyes open
I feel better when i'm numb
Just another hit for the one you love
If you cared at all, you'd put me down
Wake up dead man, can't you see i'm starving'
You can't see if i'm not listening
You can't hear with my eyes open
I can't hate with my eyes open
I feel better when i'm numb
I feel better
I feel better when i'm numb

go fuck yourself.
i forgot about that song, it's really good 
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good
"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911
"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good
I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

Weezer - El Scorcho
Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
do it to me every time
oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
But you won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me
I'm a lot like you so please Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you and you'd be good for me
I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
-How cool is that?-
So I went to your room and read your diary:
"watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack through a press table..." and then my heart stopped:
"listening to Cio-Cio San fall in love all over again."
How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won't you give me a minute
Just come up to me and say hello to my heart
How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me too and maybe you just don't know what to do or maybe you're scared to say: "I'm falling for you"
I wish I could get my head out of the sand 'cuz I think we'd make a good team
and you would keep my fingernails clean
but that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'cuz I can't even look in your eyes without shakin', and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Barenaked Ladies - Thanks That Was Fun
I'm learning
I'm yearning
I'm burning all your stuff
But that's not enough
I'm faking
That I'm aching
Mistaking lust for love
Thanks that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Did I scare you?
When I dared you
I stared you in the eye
And told you goodbye
You mocked me
It shocked me
When you walked me to the bus
Thanks, that was fun
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal, not to feel
God that's dumb
Everybody knows the deal fell through
I was hoping I could just blame you
When was it that I became so soft?
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
But I'm the one on my knees, blubbering
Please let me stay
Deflated
And jaded
I hate it when you call
Which isn't at all
I've spoken
Though broken
Here's a token of my love
Thanks, that was fun
Don't forget no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal not to feel
God that was dumb
Don't forget, no regrets
Except maybe one
Made a deal not to feel
Thanks, that was fun

Hard To Explain
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
I said the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you
This place is a zoo
You're right, it's true
He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young
And they are too old
I'll make it you see
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
New York City Cops
Here in the streets so mechanised
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didn't want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fucking strange
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin' it ain't easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
And the hours they ran slow
I said everynight she just can't stop sayin'
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
New York City cops
New York City cops
New York City cops
They ain't too smart
Well, kill me now, I let you down
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
Stop
Yes I'm leavin'
'Cause it just won't work
They act like Romans
But they dress like Turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
Nina's in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin' it ain't easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
Oh!
Trapped in an apartment
She would not let them get her
She wrote it in a letter
I got to come clean
The authorities they've seen
darling I'm somewhere in between
I said everynight every night, I just can't stop sayin'

dead milkmen - if you love somebody, set them on fire
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact
Life can really burn you up
When you're a pyromaniac
If you love somebody
Better set them on fire
If you love somebody
Better set them on fire
I went to your house last night
Your dad called me the human torch
Got a little pissed at him
so I burned down your front porch
Now I feel a little bad
About pouring gas on your dad
But you know it's hard to quit
And besides he started it
If you love somebody
Better set them on fire
If you love somebody
Better set them on fire
I just bought a brand new lighter
And I cannot wait to use it
Oily rags are special things
You know to me they're diamond rings
Maybe we can have some fun
Maybe we can burn someone
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I were to say to you
I didn't set your house on fire
But it's just the way I am
You'll have to take it for a fact

Angel, Angel, Down We Go Together by Morrissey
Angel, Angel
don't take your life tonight
I know they take
and that they take in turn
and they give you nothing real
for yourself in return
and when they've used you
and they've broken you
and wasted all your money
and cast your shell aside
and when they've bought you
and they've sold you
and they've billed you for the pleasure
and they've made your parents cry
I will be here
BELIEVE ME
I will be here
...believe me
Angel, don't take your life
some people have got no pride
they do not understand
the Urgency of life
but I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
Angel, Angel
don't take your life tonight
I know they take
and that they take in turn
and they give you nothing real
for yourself in return

and they've broken you
and wasted all your money
and cast your shell aside
and when they've bought you
and they've sold you
and they've billed you for the pleasure
and they've made your parents cry
I will be here
BELIEVE ME
I will be here
...believe me
Angel, don't take your life
some people have got no pride
they do not understand
the Urgency of life
but I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life
I love you more than life

Nostradamus/The World Goes to Riyadh, Al Stewart
In the east, the wind is blowing
the boats across the sea
And their sails will fill the morning
and their cries ring out to me
Oh, the more it changes
the more it stays the same
And the hand just rearranges
the players in the game
Oh, I had a dream
It seemed I stood alone
And the veil of all the years
goes sinking from my eyes like a stone
A king shall fall and put to death by the English Parliament shall be
Fire and plague to London come in the year of six and twenties three
An emperor of France shall rise who will be born near Italy
His rule cost his empire dear, Napoleron his name shall be
From Castile does Franco come and the government driven out shall be
An English king seeks divorce and from his throne cast down is he
One named Histor shall become captain of greater Germany
No law does this man observe and bloody his rise and fall shall be
Man, man, your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me
Man, your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me
In a camel's eye far in a distant land
The sun goes down on sands of endless deserts
See tomorrow run by hand and hand with yesterday
While once the time hung still forever
In the wink of an eye the bells are drawn and shadows hurry away
And the world goes to Riyadh, today
See the light of the moon on the changes
Almost feel the ghost of Lawrence riding by now
See the emperor run as the sabers flash
The desert rats come with the sun behind them
At the turn of the page see the moving finger writing new words to say
And the world goes to Riyadh, today
Well, you never can tell what the dawn may bring
You just be careful how you choose your friends now
Every turn of the night of the wheel of fortune changes everything
Don't lose your head now
Like a storm on the ocean, empires wax and wane and crumble away
And the world goes to Riyadh, today
In the new lands of America, three brothers now shall come to power
Two alone are born to rule, but all must die before their hour
Two great men, yet brothers not, make the North united stand
Its power be seen to grow and fear possess the eastern lands
Three leagues from the gates of Rome, a Pope named Paul is doomed to die
A great wall that divides a city at this time is cast aside
These are the signs I bring to you to show you when the time is nigh
Man, man, your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me
Man, your time is sand
Your ways are leaves upon the sea
I am the eyes of Nostradamus
All your ways are known to me

Barenaked Ladies - Off The Hook
All around the room the things are placed
And next to you he fills the space
And so it seems your saving grace
Is only saving face
Pictures of the two of you
On holiday, on honeymoon
You thought that he was wanting you
But he was only wanting you to let him off the hook
He was your imaginary friend
You were partners till the end
But something bends, and then it breaks
Your worst mistake: accepting
Enemies on bended knees
A litany of tragedies, you're vexed
It seems you're hexed
And after sex
He expects you'll let him off the hook till
Something that you heard
While you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred
When you awaken you will
Make him eat his words right off the
Hook and line
Every time
The credit card receipts, the dirty sheets
Souvenirs of men who cheat
It all makes sense, with each offense
You wanted to believe him
He could get away with murder one
And you would clean the smoking gun
With every crime
You bought each line
But not this time you'll make him
Eat his words cause
Something that you heard
While you were sleeping left you
Shaken while he stirred
When you awaken you will
Make him eat his
Words while he's alone
Cause you won't be around and
From now on the phone stays off the
Hook and line
Every time
All around the room the things are placed
And next to you he fills the space
And so it seems your saving grace
Is only saving face

I am Caligula
Gluttun of gluttons
Men over women,
Man over woman,
The whore over man.
And I'm..
not ashamed to admit
I'ts not enough to say
"I love all of you"
And I'm aroused
You lie here, you lie here.
We are ok in a misguided sadist way
We are ok.
We are ok in a desabled veteran's way
We are ok.
Can I ever begin to imagine
The terrible
Itch in mine
It haunts your mind.
A family of five
The end of mine.
I dined with wolves again.
I travel with thieves again
And I...
What did I teach you?
What did I teach you?
You're lying, you're lying
We are ok in a misguided sadist way
We are ok.
We are ok in a desabled veteran's way
We are ok.
So don't confuse why we put you here
Or your automation for individuality
A notch on my belt is how you shall exist
A notch on my bedpost is how you shall exist
And no more no less for the common good
That's you, American womanhood
That's you,
American womanhood. (holy shit that part is good)
It haunts your mind
It haunts your mind.
We are ok in a misguided sadist way
We are ok.
We are ok in a desabled veteran way
We're so cold.
Ha ha ha ha ha.

Lick a finger: feel the now.
There is a place for me
far far away
on a distant moon
or on a silver screen
with the perfect life
where you never die
you just press rewind...
there is a place for me
far far away
on a distant screen
or on a silver moon
stolen late one night
with arms held high
screaming, take me away
I could watch you a thousand times
row B, seat 13
half a ticket in the silver light
an entire universe between
there is a place for me
far far away
in someone else's dream
or in a magazine
postered over your bed
put your hands to your head
screaming, take me away
I could watch you a thousand times
row B, seat 13
half a ticket in the silver light
an entire universe between
I'm the only one around
not a sound
just a breath of the settling air
in the flickering light
with the perfect life
where you never die
with the perfect life
where you never die
with the perfect life
where you never die
you just press rewind...
Most beautiful song in the world.
