Skuff Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Let me tell you ‘bout the end of the beginning Or of the end; depends on where you land. You came on the scene just as the party’s ending I’ll start again and then you’ll understand. It’s like the bird That you can’t see But you can hear the pretty music in the tree. It’s like the word That you can’t say But you can sing the pretty music anyway. Now I know there are some things that you need to discover: Turn off your mind and do yourself a favor! (like the bird, you can’t see, it’s a part of you, woo and it’s a part of me) Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinnin’ Cause if your eyes can make the skies come clear So you came in at the bottom of the inning And no one knows if whether you’re from here It’s like the bird That you can’t see But you can hear the pretty music in the tree. It’s like the word That you can’t say But you can sing the pretty music anyway. Now I know there are some things require concentration: Turn off your mind and use your ‘magination. (girl you know what I’m talking about) Come down and plant your feet into the ground. Feel free; plant your mind in mystery. So you want to know the meaning of my song? I’ll tell you now: it’s all about how you feel. Baby, I don’t know or care where you are from, Just so I know that where you go is real. It’s like the bird That you can’t see But you can hear the pretty music in the tree. It’s like the word That you can’t say But you can sing the pretty music anyway. Now I know there are some things that you need to explain, girl: Turn off your mind; you’re using up your brain, girl! (c’mon) (like the bird, you can’t see, it’s a part of you, woo and it’s a part of me) Like the bird.

Uncle Joe Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Something So Right (Paul Simon) You've got the cool water When the fever runs high You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes And I was in crazy motion 'Til you calmed me down It took a little time But you calmed me down Something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it First to admit it Last one to know Something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight Oh, I can't, can't get used to something so right Something so right They've got a wall in China It's a thousand miles long To keep out the foreigners they made it strong I've got a wall around me That you can't even see It took a little time To get next to me Something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it First to admit it Last one to know Something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight Oh, I swear, I can't get used to something so right Something so right Some people never say the words "I love you" It's not their style to be so bold Some people never say those words "I love you" Like a child they're longing to be told Something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it First to admit it Last one to know Something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me 'cause it's such an unusual sight I swear I can't, can't get used to something so right Something so right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 How is it possible that Bruce Springsteen didn't write this song? Dylan's kid even sounds like Bruce when he sings it. When they get to the lyrics about the parade, I start to think they should have just given it to Bruce. One Headlight - The Wallflowers So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn The long broken arm of human law Now it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face So I wondered how she hung around this place Chorus: Hey, come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me & Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left She hit the end-it's just her window ledge (chorus) Well this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams I think her death it must be killin' me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Vicarious ~ Tool Eye on the the TV 'Cause tragedy thrills me Whatever flavor it happens to be, like... "Killed by the husband" "Drowned by the ocean" "Shot by his own son" "She used a poison in his tea, and kissed him goodbye" That's my kind of story It's no fun 'til someone dies Don't look at me like I am a monster Frown out your one face, but with the other Stare like a junkie into the TV Stare like a zombie While the mother holds her child, watches him die Hands to the sky crying, "Why, oh why?" Cause I need to watch things die...from a distance Vicariously I live while the whole world dies You all need it too, don't lie Why can't we just admit it? Why can't we just admit it? We won't give pause until the blood is flowing Neither the brave nor bold Will write as the story's told We won't give pause until the blood is flowing I need to watch things die...from a good safe distance Vicariously I live while the whole world dies You all feel the same, so... Why can't we just admit it? Blood like rain come down Drum on grave and ground Part vampire Part warrior Carnivore and Voyeur Stare at the transmitter Sing to the death rattle La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie Credulous at best your desire to believe in Angels in the hearts of men Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen Shouldn't have to say it all again The universe is hostile, so impersonal Devour to survive... so it is, so it's always been We all feed on tragedy It's like blood to a vampire Vicariously I live while the whole world dies Much better you than I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) ~ Arcade Fire They heard me singing and they told me to stop "Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock" These days my life, I feel it has no purpose But late at night the feelings swim to the surface 'Cause on the surface the city lights shine They're calling at me, "Come and find your kind!" Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small That we can never get away from the sprawl Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's no end in sight I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights We rode our bikes to the nearest park Sat under the swings and kissed in the dark We shield our eyes from the police lights We run away, but we don't know why And like a mirror, the city lights shine They're screaming at us, "We don't need your kind" Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small That we can never get away from the sprawl Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there's no end in sight I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights They heard me singing and they told me to stop "Quit these pretentious things and just punch the clock" Sometimes I wonder if the world's so small Can we ever get away from the sprawl?

Farin Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 The Boy With the Arab Strap ~ Belle and Sebastian A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time The odor of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by Day upon day of this wandering gets you down Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town Hovering silence from you is a giveaway Squalor and smoke's not your style, I don't like this place, we better go Then I compare notes with your older sister I am a lazy git, she is as pure as the cold driven snow What did you learn from your time in the solitary cell of your mind? There was noise to distract you from anything good and the old prison food Colour my life with the chaos of trouble 'cause anything's better than posh isolation I missed the bus, you were laid on your back with the boy with the arab strap With the boy from the arab strap It's something to speak of the way you are feeling To crowds there assembled, do you ever feel you have gone too far? Everyone suffers in silence a burden, the man who drives mini cabs down in Old Compton The Asian man with his love hate affair with his racist clientele A central location for you is a must As you stagger about making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts We all know you're soft 'cause we've all seen you dancing We all know you're hard 'cause we all saw you drinking from noon until noon again You're the boy with the filthy laugh You're the boy with the arab strap Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop Comic celebrity takes a backseat as the cigarette catches And sets off the smoke alarm What do you make of the cool set in London? You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks She's a waitress and she's got style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 The Mob - No Doves Fly Here The sky is empty and it's turning different shades of colour, It never did before and we never asked for war. My mind is empty and my body different shapes of torture, It never was before and we never asked for war. No-one is moving and no doves fly here, No-one is thinking and no doves fly here, No-one remembers beyond all this fear, No doves fly here The buildings are empty and the countryside is wasteland, It never was before and we never asked for war. The playgrounds are empty and the children limbless corpses, They never were before and they never asked for war. No-one is moving and no doves fly here, No-one is thinking and no doves fly here, No-one remembers beyond all this fear, No doves fly here video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
