"So for tonight, I'll lay here with you. But when the sun hits your eyes through your window, there'll be nothing you can do."
I love that whole song, actually.
I love that man, actually.
Joshua Radin - What If You

Been a bit obsessed with Something For Kate and Paul Dempsey lately so here is a song from Pauls solo album 'Everything Is True'

Ramona Was A Waitress
"Typing letters to the dead
Late at night on a closed piano lid
She circles past She fills your glass
But she don't recognise the song

And once in a life time she says
The waking life
Stitched together in your head
Well, what if it's only worth
The bundle of nerves it's written on?

And I don't need these arms anymore
I don't need this heart, now to love
I don't need this skin and bones
At all

There's a way you've always known her
Telephone between her cheek and her shoulder
And eyes like crystal balls
That just won't shutup
About the future of the future

Ramona was a waitress
All but made of information
In a bar under the third bridge
She says she's looking forward
To living forever

And I won't need these arms anymore
I won't need this heart, not alone
I won't need this skin and bones
At all
At all, at all, at all, at all, at all"

"Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can. I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through, I'm ashamed of the person I am"

Joy Division.

"For you are all that matters and I'll love you 'til the day I die"

"And if a double decker bus, should kill the both of us, to die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die, and if a ten ton truck kills the both of us, well the pleasure the privilege is mine."

The Smiths.

"Oh they might wear classic reeboks or knackered converse or tracky bottoms tucked in socks, but all of that's what the point is not. The point's that there ain't no romance around here."

Arctic Monkeys

"Even the words they fail me
Oh look what it's doing to me
I never say what I want to say
It's only a word believe me
If only the world could see me
I promise I'd send the word away"

The La's

"Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be. As a trend, as a friend, as a known enemy. Take your time, hurry up, the choice is yours, don't be late, take a rest as a friend as a known enemy."

Nirvana

Just a few of my favourites.

"I said that I'm so happy I could die. She said drop dead then, and left with another guy."

Best line ever.

Yeah, great line that.

As for my favourite whole set of lyrics from the guy, it can only be this one;

Quote:

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours?
What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn
that her name was Veronica
Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own
and a delicate look in her eye
These days I'm afraid she's not even sure if her
name is Veronica

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane?
Did he roam down the town all the while?
did you wake from your dream, with a wolf at
the door, reaching out for Veronica
Well it was all of sixty-five years ago
When the world was the street where she lived
And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea
With a picture of Veronica

On the "Empress of India"
And as she closed her eyes upon the world and
picked upon the bones of last week's news
She spoke his name out loud again

Veronica sits in her favorite chair
She sits very quiet and still
And they call her a name that they never get right
and if they don't then nobody else will

Needless to say, it's tough pickings though.

When you're angry there's no better lyrics than Slayer's Exile

Quote:

Just tell me ****ing why everything becomes an issue
Your opinion is always senseless - **** this
You make my ****ing skin crawl
I've lived with it - can't stand anymore
My worst nightmare
I want to take a bullet in the ****ing head
Every time I think of you, every time I think of you

When I'm feeling a bit less "heated", the chorus from O! Valencia!, by the Decemberists gives me goosbumps it's so good

Quote:

Oh Valencia
With your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia
And I swear to the stars
I'll burn this whole city down

Dr.Seussicide · 01-11-2010, 01:36 PM

"You said you hate my suffering, and you understood,
And you’d take care of me.
You'd always be there.
Well, where are you now?"

Yeah Veronica's great. I love the beginning of the song as he starts to sing that opening line...

Elvis is always good at making me sit up and listen.

tom waits - misery is the river of the world;
"If there's one thing you can say about mankind, there's nothing kind about man..."

and

feist - the park
"Who can be sure of anything through the distance that keeps you from knowing the truth?"
