    okay, so this is a thread to post your favourite lyrics in. or just lyrics you wish to share with others. c'mooon, it'll be fun.

    here's mine:

    Don, Aman
    by Slint
    from the album Spiderland
    --------------------------

    Don stepped outside.
    It felt good to be alone.
    He wished he was drunk.
    Thought about something he just said,
    And how stupid it had sounded...
    He knew he should forget about it.
    He decided to piss...but he couldn't.

    [A plane passed silently overhead
    The streetlights, and the buds on the trees, in the night
    ...were still.]

    It finally came, he took a deep breath.
    It made him feel strong, and determined,
    ...To go back inside.

    The light,
    Their backs.
    The conversations.
    The couples, romancing, so natural.
    His friends stare,
    With eyes, like the heads of nails.
    The others,
    Glances.
    With amusement,
    With amazement,
    With contempt.
    So distant,
    With malice,
    For being, a sty...in their engagement.

    [Like swimming underwater in the darkness.
    Like walking through an empty house,
    Speaking to an imaginary audience.
    being watched from outside by someone.]

    ((A soul without a key))

    He could not dance to anything...

    Don left,
    And drove.
    And howled.
    And laughed,
    At himself.
    He felt he knew what that was.

    Don woke up,
    And looked at the night before.
    He knew what he had to do.
    He was responsible.
    In the mirror...
    He saw his friend.


    now post yours! [​IMG]

    i'd really like to get ahold of one of those slint albums, i'm curious as to whether or not it's good...seems to me they just tell stories or freeform poetry over music, with no actual arrangement? odd...


    and the lyrics i will always remember, bron-y-aur stomp.

    Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be,
    Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine.

    Ah all the good times we had, I sang love songs so glad
    Always smiling, never sad, so fine.

    [Chorus]
    As we walk down the country lanes, I'll be singing a song,
    Hear me calling your name.
    Hear the wind within the trees, Telling Mother Nature 'bout you and me.

    Well if the sun shines so bright, Or on our way it's darkest night
    The road we choose is always right, so fine.

    Ah can your love be so strong When so many loves go wrong
    Will our love go on and on...

    [Chorus]

    My, my la de la come on now it ain't too far,
    Tell your friends all around the world,
    Ain't no companion like a blue eyed merle.
    Come on now well let me tell you,
    What you're missing, missing, 'round them brick walls.

    So of one thing I am sure, It's a friendship so pure,
    Angels singing all around my door, so fine.
    Yeah, ain't but one thing to do Spend my natural life with you,
    You're the finest dog I knew, so fine.

    When you're old and your eyes are dim, There ain't no old Shep gonna happen again,
    We'll still go walking down country lanes, I'll sing the same old songs,
    Hear me call your name.

    mine is:



    The Rain Song
    (Page/Plant)


    This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
    Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
    Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
    time to time.

    Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
    But I know that I love you so

    These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion - I see the torch we all must hold.
    This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall.

    the first song that came to mind was Jeff Buckley's "The Sky Is A Landfil" but while i was reading them i got Bad Religion - Progress in my mind which is equaly great and easier to get through :)


    Progress

    and progress is not intelligently planned
    it's the facade of our heritage
    the odor of our land
    they speak of progress
    in red, white and blue
    it's the structure of the future
    as demise comes seething through
    it's progress 'til there's nothing left to gain
    as the dearth of new ideas
    makes us wallow in our shame
    so before you go to contribute more
    to the destruction of this world you adore
    remember life on earth is but a flash of dawn
    and we're all part of it as the day rolls on

    and progress is a message that we send
    one step closer to the future
    one inch closer to the end
    I say progress is a synonym of time
    we are all aware of it but it's nothing we refine
    and progress is a debt we all must pay
    it's convenience we all cherish
    it's pollution we disdain
    and the cutting edge is dulling
    too many folks to plow through
    just keep your fuckin' distance
    and it can't include you!

    precisely what it is. there's really only one song where the guy's singing. and as for getting ahold of one of the albums, the chances are pretty slim, i hear. mostly, people find them in the bottom of bargain bins and stuff, which is really a shame. i would seriously shit if i ever found one in the store. i would kill to have it. but, you can download some of their stuff, if you have a filesharing program. the song i recommend most is "Good Morning, Captain." :)

    IM only gonna post one of them, but I like Mrs. Robinson, Little Wing, and Ball and Chain.

    JImi Hendrix-Little Wing
    Well, she's walking through the clouds,
    With a circus mind that's running wild,
    Butterflies and Zebras,
    And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
    That's all she ever thinks about.
    Riding with the wind.

    When I'm sad, she comes to me,
    With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
    It's alright, she says it's alright,
    Take anything you want from me,
    Anything.
    Fly on little wing.

    Alice's Restaurant
    By Arlo Guthrie

    This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and therestaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice'sRestaurant.You can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantYou can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantWalk right in it's around the backJust a half a mile from the railroad trackYou can get anything you want at Alice's RestaurantNow it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago onThanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at therestaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in thechurch nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray andFasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot ofroom downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn'thave to take out their garbage for a long time.We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd bea friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. Sowe took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VWmicrobus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headedon toward the city dump.Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across thedump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dumpclosed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove offinto the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of theside road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of thecliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pileis better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up wedecided to throw our's down.That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgivingdinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until thenext morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton ofgarbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." AndI said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelopeunder that garbage."After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone wefinally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go downand pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at thepolice officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with theshovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward thepolice officer's station.Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done atthe police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal forbeing so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, andwe didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us outand told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's stationthere was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we wasboth immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think Ican pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.Get in the back of the patrol car."And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to thequote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town ofStockbridge, Massachusets, where this happened here, they got three stopsigns, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to theScene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted toget in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds ofcop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, andthey took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what eachone was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not tomention the aerial photography.After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to putus in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want yourwallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting mywallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do youwant my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." Isaid, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out thetoilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he tookout the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll thetoilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obiewas making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a fewnasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went backto the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-tencolour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the backof each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and hesat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at thetwenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrowsand a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circlesand arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of Americanblind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and thejudge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossypictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of eachone explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. Andwe was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats notwhat I came to tell you about.Came to talk about the draft.They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination oneday, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, soI looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. `Cause I wanted tolook like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wantedto feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and allkinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gaveme a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, Iwanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore andguts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL," andhe started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and downyelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."Didn't feel too good about it.

    Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,
    detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me
    at the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, four
    hours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nasty
    ugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they was
    inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no
    part untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the
    last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there,
    and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only got
    one question. Have you ever been arrested?"

    And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre,
    with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all
    the phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever
    go to court?"

    And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten
    colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on
    the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want
    you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W .... NOW kid!!"

    And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
    where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
    committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
    looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
    rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
    they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
    bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
    father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
    'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
    and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
    $50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
    And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
    there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
    said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
    and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
    father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
    bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
    things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it
    up and said.

    "Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-
    know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-
    you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-
    officer's-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for
    forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had
    fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,
    and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it
    down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the
    pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the
    other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on
    the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the
    following words:

    ("KID, HAVE YOU REHABILITATED YOURSELF?")

    I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to
    ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm
    sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
    'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,
    kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and
    said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints
    off to Washington."

    And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
    study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
    singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
    situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
    situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
    the shrink wherever you are ,just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
    anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
    one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
    they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
    they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
    And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
    singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
    organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
    fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
    walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

    And that's what it is , the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
    all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
    guitar.

    With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
    sing it when it does. Here it comes.

    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

    That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.
    I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it
    for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

    So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
    harmony and feeling.

    We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

    All right now.

    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Excepting Alice
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
    Walk right in it's around the back
    Just a half a mile from the railroad track
    You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

    Da da da da da da da dum
    At Alice's Restaurant

    Figures of lamenting dreams
    The slumber lost to age
    And what was thought to be
    Was sought to free the truth
    Hidden beneath the saviors
    Of the musicality of youth
    Oh, what nights have murdered
    The nightmares we dream of

    In her Underworld
    Spiders play her tune
    Her humble reign heals
    Nostalgic remnants
    In her Underworld
    She's so fast, so cruel
    In her Underworld
    She's just broken glass

    What constant fervor have
    Solved such winded ways?
    Is change change at all
    If change is all she’s had?
    Living between hurried gasps of
    Idle smoke-screen machines
    Oh, how we surrender
    To nightmares we dream of

    In her Underworld
    Spiders play her tune
    Her humble reign heals
    Nostalgic remnants
    In her Underworld
    She's so fast, so cruel
    In her Underworld
    She's just broken glass

    --

    Climbed your two-tone smile
    Leapt across a lover’s lie of
    Words escaping pad-locked kisses
    The fiction you swore upon
    Is it true you’re stifled?
    Is it true you’ve saved
    All the trite of your hidden ways?

    --

    Sucking up the sky
    In wisps of sacrament
    Leaning together to
    Trap the lightning kiss
    Children mustn’t devour
    What’s left of suffrages
    So sweet, so mild
    So barren in their years

    As much as she thinks
    Nitrate dreams dissolve
    These blue skies turned
    Her black with envy
    And what’s left is all
    She had in the beginning

    Whites spiders rolling from
    The tongues of her guilt
    Effigies burning bright
    In the gut of her grace
    Children mustn’t devour
    Such creed of calamity
    So feared, so loved
    So arid in these times

    As much as she thinks
    Nitrate dreams dissolve
    She’s bottled the shears
    Of warnings she’s ignored
    And what’s left is all
    She had in the beginning

    --

    Healed for nothing better
    Than the heart stain you fled
    Spat the shit of make-believe
    The fairy tale ending you fought
    Is it true you’re stifled?
    Is it true you’re staid
    From the boredom of wonderment?

    --

    If I were dead
    Would you be listless?
    Would that jagged heart
    You claim to release
    Be beating all the same
    Or would you unbridle
    What you’ve tucked away?

    Men in lemon lab coats
    Trapping thunder
    Leaning together
    And short of breath
    Screaming at the weather
    It never quits raining

    You counted each flake
    That fell inside your fleeting
    Abyss of all you’ll need
    Where were your heroes
    You claimed to worship?
    Where were your spiders
    You claimed to eat?

    Men in lemon lab coats
    Trapping thunder
    Leaning together
    And short of breath
    Screaming at the weather
    It never quits raining

    She counted each flake
    That fell inside her
    She counted each flake
    That fell inside her
    She counted each flake
    That fell inside her
    She counted each flake
    That fell inside her

    --

    Boiled festers of youth
    Buried in the trenches dug
    To be devoured by fate
    The hunger of the unscathed
    Is it true you’re stifled
    Is it true you’ve saved
    Every bit of sentimentality?

    --

    Despite the ever-lasting
    The last desires of her heart
    And for all her synthetic flesh
    What’s too true is too far away
    Who wouldn’t save this child
    From all she has borne?
    Who wouldn’t find this child
    A thousand stars to call her own?
    What is lost is found
    What she lost is home

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes...again

    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
    In a...desperate land

    Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
    And all the children are insane
    All the children are insane
    Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

    There's danger on the edge of town
    Ride the King's highway, baby
    Weird scenes inside the gold mine
    Ride the highway west, baby

    Ride the snake, ride the snake
    To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
    The snake is long, seven miles
    Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

    The west is the best
    The west is the best
    Get here, and we'll do the rest

    The blue bus is callin' us
    The blue bus is callin' us
    Driver, where you taken' us

    The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery
    And he walked on down the hall
    He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
    Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
    He walked on down the hall, and
    And he came to a door...and he looked inside
    Father, yes son, I want to kill you
    Mother...I want to...fuck you

    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    C'mon baby, take a chance with us
    And meet me at the back of the blue bus
    Doin' a blue rock
    On a blue bus
    Doin' a blue rock
    C'mon, yeah

    Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end

    It hurts to set you free
    But you'll never follow me
    The end of laughter and soft lies
    The end of nights we tried to die

    This is the end
     
  13. Peace

    Peace In complete harmony.

    The begining to the Monkees Theme Song:

    [size=+2]BREED[/size]I don't care, i don't care, i don't care, i don't care, i don't care, care if i'm old
    I don't mind, i don't mind, i don't mind, i don't mind, mind if i don't have a mind
    Get away, get away, get away, get away, away, way from your home
    I'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, i'm afraid, afraid of a ghost

    Even if you have
    Even if you need
    I don't need to stare
    We don't have to breed
    We can't plant a house
    We could build a tree
    And don't even care
    We could have all three

    you totally stole mine :&

    i also love Take Me Home Country Roads, by john denver

    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    Blue Ridge Mountains
    Shenandoah River -
    Life is old there
    Older than the trees
    Younger than the mountains
    Growin like a breeze

    Country Roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    All my memories gathered round her
    Miners lady, stranger to blue water
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Misty taste of moonshine
    Teardrops in my eye

    Country Roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    I hear her voice
    In the mornin hour she calls me
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    And drivin down the road I get a feelin
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

    Country Roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads

    Country Roads, take me home
    To the place I belong
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    Take me home, country roads
    Take me home, now country roads
    Take me home, now country roads



    This song is the exact utopia of my mind that i go to when im stressin. maybe not west virginia...but u know :& it kinda reminds me of The Waltons too....hehehe

    The Pixies - Where Is My Mind?

    Stop
    With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
    Try this trick and spin it, yeah
    Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
    And you'll ask yourself

    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Way out in the water, see it swimming

    I was swimming in the Caribbean
    Animals were hiding behind the rock
    Except for little fish
    When they told me east is west trying to talk to me, coy koi

    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Way out in the water, see it swimming

    With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
    Try this trick and spin it, yeah
    Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it
    And you'll ask yourself

    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Where is my mind?
    Way out in the water, see it swimming

    With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
    Try this trick and spin it, yeah

    Station, by the Meat Puppets...


    Every thought's a game
    A pack of chimps I cannot tame
    You're wondering who to blame
    Now your ride has come up lame
    Fortress full of hate
    Fears and hopes all pound the gate
    Too early, it's too late
    What is evil, which is great?

    Pigs are sheep and cats are dogs
    And thoughts are made of Lincoln Logs
    To tend to the mice and wood
    Where black is blue and bad is good

    Thoughts that I keep my money in
    Melt some wax and chunks of tin
    Forget your name, how to walk and ignore
    The light shining in from under the door
    Thoughts like a thread through a foam device
    Liquid bread and rubber ice
    Make a promise, grow teeth, go to bed
    Wake up when you're dead

    Soul One
    By: Blind Melon

    I really like these lyrics at the present time. There are so many others too but this one pretty much clicks with me for now.



    How come, girl was there when I needed one
    How come, girl was there when the song is done
    Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
    Okay, open my arms they were right

    She was my soul one
    She felt she was the only one
    She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
    She was my soul one

    Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
    Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky
    How long take to realize she's the one
    How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one

    She was my soul one
    She felt like the only one
    She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
    She was my soul one

    Should of never taken the time
    'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
    You said, you left to find yourself
    But I never, no I never got the chance to say good-bye

    She was my soul one I though she was

    Cat Stevens, Two Fine People

    I love this song, but particularly this line. It certainly rings true with me when I think about a girl that I was once in love with.

    “…And I really only want you to want me.”

    If you want, I’m sure you can find the rest of the lyrics to put it in better context. One of my favorite songs, no doubt about it!
