Please - U2

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace.
And you never felt wanted
Till you'd someone slap your face.
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away.

You had to win, you couldn't just pass
The smartest ass at the top of the class
Your flying colours, your family tree
And all your lessons in history.

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees.
Please, please, please, please, oh yeah.

And you never knew how low you'd stoop
To make that call
And you never knew what was on the ground
Till they made you crawl.
So you never knew that the heaven
You keep you stole.

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes,
Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news
Your holy war, your northern star
Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees.
Please, please, please
Leave me out of this, please.

So love is hard
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of.

September, streets capsizing
Spilling over down the drains
Shard of glass, splinters like rain
But you could only feel your own pain.

October, talk getting nowhere.
November, December; remember
We just started again.

Please, please, please
Get up off your knees, yeah.
Please, please, please, please, ah.

So love is big
Is bigger than us.
But love is not
What you're thinking of.
It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it
Hard to receive
'Cause you, my love
I could never believe.

yesterday - the beatles

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, I yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Maybe I'm just too young
to keep good love from going wrong

we used to be friends - dandy warhols

A long time ago, we used to be friends
But I haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again, a greeting I send to you,
Short and sweet to the soul is all I intend.

A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh
A, ah-ahh-ahh-ahh

Come on now, honey,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when you're good to go
Come on now, sugar,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when.

It's something I said, or someone I know.
Or you called me up, maybe I wasn't home.
Now everybody needs some time,
And everybody know
The rest of it's fine
And everybody knows that.

Come on now, sugar,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when you're good to go
Come on now, honey,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when.

I knew a girl named Nikki,
I guess you could say she was a sex fiend,
I met her in a hotel lobby,
Masturbating with a magazine.
She said how'd you like to waste some time,
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.
She took me 2 her castle,
And I just couldn't believe my eyes,
She had so many devices,
Everything that money could buy,
She said sign your name on the dotted line,
The lights went out,
And Nikki started to grind.

Nikki!

The castle started spinning,
Or maybe it was my brain,
I can't tell you what she did to me,
But my body will never be the same,
Her lovin' will kick your behind,
Oh, she'll show you no mercy,
But she'll sho'nuff sho'nuff show you how to grind!

Darlin' Nikki!

Woke up the next morning,
Nikki wasn't there,
I looked all over and all I found,
Was a phone unmber on the stairs,
It said "thank you for a funky time,
Call me up whenever you want to grind!"

Oh, Nikki, ohhhh!!!

Come back Nikki, come back!!!
Your dirty little Prince,
wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind!

red brush
washing up
look I made America
hush, hush
don't, don't rush
and don't try to care too much

brown wine
turpentine
some things musn't be combined
sleep now
never fear
all your animals are here

counting sheep
I lay me down to sleep
please don't leave me with my awful dream
from the back they catch him in a trap
hit his head and send him off to bed

cutting by numbers is kinder
invest in one with a silencer
all of the studies say if they're calm
when they die then they taste better

cutting by numbers is kinder
invest in one with a silencer
all of the studies say if they're calm
when they die then they taste better

goodbye
olive sky
I am crying all the time
there, there
don't despair
we will find your sheep somewhere.

Dresden Dolls, "Sheep Song"

I thought this would be appropriare considering all that is going on in the world right now.

Goldfinger
The Innocent

[Tribute By Goldfinger, Good Charlotte, Mest]

The start of Armageddon
And it's just another day
We all saw the news nothing to say

So many friends are missing
So many friends are missing
Family members gone
So we all preyed and God help them be strong

And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die

Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve the problem it began

Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same

And we don't know why
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same

I saw that coming about five million miles away

this is for the post above the last one... i love that song

'we looked like giants' - death cab for cutie

god bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
remembering when you were mine
in a still suburban town

when every thursday i'd brave those mountain passes
and you'd skip your early classes
and we'd learn how our bodies worked

god damn the black night with all it's foul temptations
i've become what i always hated
when i was with you then

we looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact
fumbling to make contact
as the others slept inside

and together there
in a shroud of frost, the mountain air
began to pass from every pane of weathered glass
and i held you closer than anyone would ever get

do you remember the JAMC?
and reading aloud from magazines
i don't know about you but i swear on my name they could smell it on me
i've never been too good with secrets
no…

It's a very good song.

nikki i feel your pain



She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk cool as air
Ooh it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh it makes you wanna die

Ooh Don't ya wanna take her
Ooh Don't ya wanna make her all your own

(Chorus):
Maria
You've got to see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Regina
Ave Maria
A million and one
Candle lights

I've seen this thing before
In my best friend
And the boy next door
Fool for love
Fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
Sees oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

Ooh Don't you wanna make her
Ooh Don't you wanna take her home

(Repeat Chorus)

She walks like she don't care wanna take her everywhere
Ooh Makes you wanna cry
She's like a millionaire
Walking on imported air
Ooh it makes you wanna die

You were the only one
That I allowed inside my heart
Now I'm just holding on
To something so far gone

this one is more like it:

My Maria,
Don't you know I've come a long, long way?
I been longin' to see her.
When she's around, she takes my blues away.
Sweet Maria,
The sunlight surely hurts my eyes.
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies.

My Maria,
There were some blue and sorrowed times.
Just my thoughts about you,
Bring back my peace of mind.
Gypsy lady,
You're a miracle work for me.
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea.

She is the sunlight when skies are grey.
She treats me so right, lady take me away.

My Maria.
(Oh, Maria, I love you, girl.)
(Oh, my Maria.)
Maria.
(Oh, Maria, I love you, girl.)
(Maria,)
I love you.



at least someone loves me.

i like mine

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none,
Bearing sorrow havin’ fun,
But back home he’ll always run
To sweet melissa... mmm...

Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
And no one knows the gypsy’s name

No one hears his lonely sigh,
There are no blankets where he lies.
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet melissa... mmm...

Again the morning’s come,
Again he’s on the run,
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
Appearing not to have a care.
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
Will you hide the dead man’s ghost,
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
Or will his spirit roll away?

But I know that he won’t stay without melissa.

Yes I know that he won’t stay without melissa.

And Sara thinks she's died here once before
She's crazy..
Her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight
She's drinking herself blind

Sarah doesn't care anymore
What they talk about
at the back door
They say she can't hold her own
And her Mama's never home
Sarah doesn't care anymore
What they talk about
at the back door
You wonder why she feels so alone
How could a young girl feel so old.
You know
Sarah doesn't care anymore
You know what they say
at the back door
But it's not that way

Sarah walks along silently
on her own
Keeping to herself
Talks to no one else
And cares not for anyone
Sealing those pictures of the past
How time's flown so fast

Don't say Sarah no more
Don't say her name
Because she hurt me so
And I just can't let go
Don't say Sarah no more
Don't say her name
Cause things ain't like before
She's not my girl no more, no more

She says, I’ve got something to say
She knows what she says well change everything
She led through to many sleepless nights
She’s crying, she’s crying, she’s crying

Mother that man took my soul away
Father how could you ever treat me this way
Brother don’t let him do this again
This time it’s over I’m gonna make it end
Now it’s over and the old man is in
Lying on the ground bullet in his head

That one's called "Sarah Yellin'"

I'm not very positively portrayed in songs.

Well, I dream that everyone is dead.



except my name isn't Annie...

oh, dear god, i've got a song.

well I never been lucky
at pickin' up women.
this life that I live
is not one that I choose.

She was a waitress,
with hair blonde and curly,
with a pretty black dress,
and those japanese shoes.

(Chorus):
Man I need to impress her,
'cause I'd like to undress her.
I need a song about Sonya
when I'm singin' tonight.

Well she looked so pretty
as she poured my coffee,
but she had her eye
on my friend at the bar.

And I watched her watch him,
and I watched her thinkin'.
I wished her eye
was on me.

(Chorus)


And if I could sing her
a tender love ballad,
I'd hope the audience
might sing along.

But I can't find the right way
to tell her my feelings,
and still make the words
rhyme with Sonya.

I never been lucky
at pickin up women
This life that I live
is not one that I choose.

She was a waitress.
Now she's gone forever,
and I'm stuck with this song
that I never will use.

Man you need to impress her
if you want to undress her.
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight
Sing a song about Sonya
when you're singin' tonight.

'a song about sonya'

by lyle lovett?!?!?!

i want to list my songs! i can think of 3 on top of my head though.

no one writes songs about a girl named tasha.

hmm, nevermind:

"Call Tasha again, and I'ma kill you myself - you hear me dawg?
I don't play, I ain't with really with this phone shit;
just the only way I could get at you - don't call Tasha back"

that explains it
