Post a random lyric

Time and all you gave,
I was the jerk who preferred the sea,
To tussling in the waves,
Tugging your skirt singing; "Please, please, please!"

Now I see love,
Tracked on the floor where you walked outside.
Now I seek love,
Looking for you in this other girl's eyes.

Shes Got Something To Say To Me
About me never comin round
Shes Got Something To Say To Me
And dont know how to be left out

Are you tellin me what you ain't knowin?

Shes Got Something To Say To Me
About me never comin round
Shes Got Something To Say To Me
And dont know how to be left out

Are you tellin me what you ain't knowin?
About me ever coming round to play
And I wouldnt want to let you down

Meet you in the morning after daze
Soaking the sunrays from the ground

Shes Got Something To Say To Me
About me never comin round
Shes Got Something To Say To Me
And dont know how to be left out

Are you tellin me what you ain't knowin?

I spoke too soon, it seems, for you made a home in my dreams.
While I slept you kept running yourself through my head,
Like, "I won't be dead yet." I said, "You don't understand.
We had no control. They stole it; love's been so unfair to me."
"But see, boy, that's my point. You must move on."
Then felt her ghost move in me.
I heard her voice call out my name but this time it faded out - away.
"I'll bury it today."
So I breathed her name out into a cold, cold room,
watched her ghost ascend the walls and then dissolve,
"This time I choose to let her go.
I will not let my fear become the only world I've ever known.
I know my heart, kiss my mouth, set me free - I've wounds to mend.
And we'll be more than friends, my dear;
I fear I've changed my mind again."
"But boy, you're too late. Oh, God, it's too late."

Well, I have learned so very little,
When these bones are old and brittle.
I wait to talk when I should listen,
And cloud mistakes with false revisions.

All my friends are forward-thinking,
Getting hitched and quitting drinking,
And I can feel them pulling away,
As I'm resigned to stay the same.

And you can't even begin to know,
How many times I've told myself "I told you so".

I was once a loyal lover,
Whose lips did never seek another's,
But now each love's more like a match,
A blinding spark that burns out fast.

And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work".

And you can't even begin to know,
How many times I've told myself "I told you so",
And you can't even begin to believe,
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me.

open hearted as a heart can be
cause we all a ruin like broken leaves
i give you me in oceans of tears up to my knees
stitched together like pants and sleeves
i carry this carapace worn thin by he and she
danced to dust and dusk and
strung along the highway
i found my way belligerent
following the stars of your eyes

I'll be governed by the road
Get to shed this heavy load
I've seen your future
So leave me alone in the past

Go on, let the righteous guide you home
To where you belong
I'll stay, dancing to my favourite tune
That's where I belong

Dear god, that voiiice. Ugh.

But I still see him dead in the parking lot at the gas station just down the street.
And I still hear my friend say,
"You know, you wouldn't believe the things I saw when I was stationed overseas."
But he somehow keeps smiling in spite all of that,
while I keep finding ways to push the good out for the bad.
Oh, how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take,
like it was pain I could not shake,
like it could break me with its fingers, throw my body in the lake,
and I would slowly sink away.
but the Truth is, it was sorrow that I made and would not face.
See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past.
And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last like it defines me.
Or reminds me I've found comfort in my suffering
and uncertainty in happiness and death,
because what's next is such a mystery to me.
I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see.

مفيش في الدنيا دي احلام بتتحقق عشان نحلم

(in this world no dreams come true for us to dream)

*sigh*

I'll never cheat
I'll be the best girl you'd ever meet
And for a diamond ring
I'll do these kinds of things
I'll scrub your floor
Never be a bore
I'd tuck you in
I do not snore
I'd wear your black eyes
Bake you apple pies
I won't ask whys
And I'd try not to cry

Rewind and find a younger man,
All hopes and goals and dreams alight and
Bright with friendship at the crossroads in the night.
“Now make a choice,” the city said.
We were barely twenty then, but
While I swore it my allegiance
They chose leaving, all my friends. And,
Now it’s letters, maybe phone calls, that
Come less and less each year.
All addressed with wives and children
To the fool who chose to stay here.
And it hurts me to know I’m alone now,
And it’s worse when I know that I chose it.
Don’t make the same mistake as me,
Don’t make the same mistake!

They stored their passion in the creases in the corners of their mouths,
every angle of light from the open window washed their aging faces out.
They said, "Should we feel guilty for this sin?
Lord, did we kill a man and woman just to lie here skin to skin?"
"I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy where I was..
What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love?
I pray my children will forgive me, though I bade the river flood.
I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood."
"Oh, great mercy, I am here to beg forgiveness for this mess.
I know I tore two worlds apart but I can't change the way I felt.
Love swept in like a storm and ripped the hinges from the doors.
Love poured in like a flood, I couldn't stop it anymore. I will not be drowned."
She said, "Lover, come and hold me, I am terribly afraid.
While you're shouting at the stars, my scars are not fading away."
He said, "Darling, I was begging heaven make them disappear, but,
See, I didn't get an answer or at least one I could hear.
Now, I am thinking of the past and how we both said vows and lied and
I am wondering how we trust ourselves to say a second time:
'To have and to hold,
From this day and onward,
For better and for worse,
For richer and for poorer,
In sickness or in health,
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part?'"

She forced a smile, said,
"Boy, come kiss my mouth—I'll set you free."
You know that hope you're holding to? It looks an awful lot like fear.
Now, you're so quick to fall on failure, and so quick to raise your voice, like,
'If I can't find a mistake to blame, we didn't have a choice."

Oh, but you had option.
I was your chance to feel complete,
But when I leaned in close to you, you
Kissed your fear instead of me.

You had my hand in your hand,
You had my lip in your teeth,
You had my heart on your sleeve,
You had a chance to breathe.

"But, boy, you wouldn't let your fear recede so I moved on.

And it's too late to change your mind now,
You got scared, boy, and I got gone.
Now you failed, and there's no way to turn back time.
You had your chance, boy, I tried."

"You tried?" I looked her in the eye and smiled,
"My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made.
It crept unwelcome in my head the day they had her torn away.
It changed me.

Now at the end of everyday I lie awake at night and wait
To feel the wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged, and
Hear my beaten heart exclaim, 'Still, I refuse to let her go.'"

So we escape to our mistakes for they wait patiently for us.
Oh, how they always wait for me.

If my fear has kept me here, only my fear can set me free.

And I'm sorry, dear, but don't you dare say another word.
How could I risk holding your heart in me while still in love with her?

"You were wrong!"

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down...

Great shout.


You came back and you brought floods,
Wearing a necklace made of hearts that you'd dragged through the mud
And I guess I wasn't quite sure what to say to you,
But then I saw mine, almost reached out to grab it,
Said; "Darling, you're the only one on earth I want to have it."
But now, I'm not so sure that was true
After the hell you put it through
But there was no sharp pain this time
Just the ghost of your presence compressing my chest like a vine
An unshakable absence
Like most of my insides crawled out of my mouth and went west
But that's fine
We cast our hearts in plaster
We imagined our bodies were fashioned of stone
But they chipped at the brick and mortar
We found out that we're only layers of skin hiding bones
And our bones are like chains, old and rusted in the rain
They're going to snap when the weight shifts.

i fancy the hip rock 'n roll scene-ster.
i wanna be fucked and then rolled over,
cause i'm an independant woman of the twenty first century;
no time for nits, i want sex and abortuary.
i read glamour, and the guardian.
i like flowers, and i'm hardian.
i take cocaine.
i don't give a fuck about her, i want your name.
i can get fucked like the best of men; like the best of men,
like the worst of pain, inflicted on another young girl again;
impressed by another guitar hero;
he's a top score and you're a zero - you're outta your league,
there ain't no rubber on the tracks; it's gravel
you fall hard, cut quick and it's an std; a cut knee
you're a side of stage grasp, a laugh, an after-show party in a bath.
fucked and expected to be fucked, a gasp from an uninformed intruder,
the crowd go wild and things get ruder,
they're already out of hand and there's no one here to take your hand;
it's a cold shower and a scramble for a dirty pair 'o knickers,
don't get yours mixed up with hers.

Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red.
Oh your voice could summon the angels,
And your beauty could waken the dead.
