Just to keep me free in this mad, mad word

It could happen to you so think for youreself

If I should stumble catch my fall

10Cc- I’m Not In Love (one of my all-time favourites!!! I love its lyrics!!!!) 

 

I'm not in love so don't forget

it's just a silly phaseI'm going through.

And just because I call you up

don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made.

I'm not in love, no no

It's because...

 

I like to see you but then again

that doesn't mean you mean that much to me.

So if I call you don't make a fuss

don't tell your friends about the two of us.

I'm not in love, no no

It's because...

 

I keep your picture upon the wall.

It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.

So don't you ask me to give it back

I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me.

I'm not in love, no no

It's because...

 

Oooh, you'll wait a long time for me

Oooh, you'll wait a long time...

Oooh, you'll wait a long time for me

 Oooh, you'll wait a long time...

 

I'm not in love, so don't forget

it's just a sillyphase I'm going through.

And just because I call you up

don't get me wrong, don't think you got it made.

I'm not in love, I'm not in love....

Getting Away With It - James

Are you aching for the blade
That’s o.k.
Were insured
Are you aching for the grave
That’s o.k.
Were insured

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That’s the living

Daniel’s saving grace
She’s out in deep water
Hope he’s a good swimmer

Daniel plays his ace
Deep inside his temple
He knows how to surf her

Were getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That’s the living

Daniel drinks his weight
Drinks like Richard Burton
Dance like John Travolta, now.

Daniel’s saving grace
He was all but drowning
Now they live like dolphins

Getting away with it
All messed up
Getting away with it
All messed up
That’s the living
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
Getting away with it
That’s the living
That’s the living

 

R.E.M - The Great Beyond

 I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen
I can't believe that I believed I wished
That you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
There is nothing up my sleeve

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

And all this talk of time
Talk is fine
And I don't want to stay around
Why can't we pantomime, just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams?
Me and you with wings on our feet

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I'm looking to the stars
I'm looking to the moon

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great...

^^^Love that tune!

I heard this sweet song while viewing Hotel for Dogs, sweet movie too!

Tim Myers - A Beautiful World 

The children outside all are laughing under perfect skies
The shapes and patterns in this season make me feel alive
I wanna shout it from the rooftop and tell the world
That, “I was blind but now I see what’s right in front of me!”
It’s a beautiful world I see, everything looks differently
It’s a beautiful world I see, these moments are changing me.
When I look at the sky I see the reason why I know.

When I look out from the window,
The moon and stars shine all their lights down from the heavens
A choir of angels strike a chord and lift their voices
And then we sing out, “I’ve been lost but now I’ve found what’s right in front of me!”
It’s a beautiful world I see, everything looks differently
It’s a beautiful world I see, these moments are changing me.

When I look at the sky I see the reason why I know.

Ole Black And Blue Eyes - The Fratellis

Well she wants to be a singer in the band
Maybe I'll give the girl a hand & a mircophone looks She's all alone
She can bring a friend though she's not my kind of friend
She keeps staring me out with her o black & blue eyes

And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance
And I was never that good at being nice when I should
I guess she'll still forgive me right before she trys to kill me
Coz I sold her on yesterday's

Come take me home eyes

And I can take her waltzing just so she could kick my head in
o i do believe I was drunk and both of my heads this drunk
I guess her name was Tina coz before I'd even seen her
I was lost in her whats ya name

just get me fucked ....eye eye's...
o take me home, eye...eye..eyes


And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Young soul shagger,
Begging me to bag her, filthy heart & swollen hips
And she said o my dearest im not pretty, isn't it a pity
That you wont kiss these rotten lips
Or take me o home..eye...eyes eyes
Ole black & blue eyes.......

And Chelsea said she's got nowhere to go
And if she does she's getting there slow
And I can help her out but I've got somewhere to be
And thats the very thing when your dealing with me

Do do do do do do do do do...

Heart In A Cage - The Strokes (it's wonderful)

Well I don't feel better
When I'm f**king around
And I don't write better
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh the heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field

Yeah we got left, left, left, left, left, left, left,
Now it's three in the morning and
You're eating alone

Oh the heart beats in its cage

All our friends they're laughing at us
All of those you loved, you mistrust
Help me, I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else left
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh, he gets left, left, left, left, left, left, left

I'm sorry you were thinking I would steal your fire
Oh the heart beats in its cage
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright

And the heart beats in its cage.

 

My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday  

Wakin' up feelin' good and limber
when the telephone it ring
was a bad man from California
tellin of a stone he'd bring
and of better days
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live one big holiday
so we listened and up the river
and recorded all the sounds
was some shakin' and some record playin'
all the leather kids were loud

Matchbox Twenty - 3am She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat She's always worried about things like that She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining (chorus) She says baby It's 3 am I must be lonely When she says baby Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away I believe it She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams and her voice is straining (chorus) She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway But outside it's stopped raining

Michelle - The Beatles

Michelle, ma belle.
These are words that go together well,
My Michelle.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I love you, I love you, I love you.
That's all I want to say.
Until I find a way
I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I need to, I need to, I need to.
I need to make you see,
Oh, what you mean to me.
Until I do I'm hoping you will
Know what I mean.

I love you...

I want you, I want you, I want you.
I think you know by now
I'll get to you somehow.
Until I do I'm telling you so
You'll understand.

Michelle, ma belle.
Sont des mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
Très bien ensemble.

I will say the only words I know that
You'll understand, my Michelle.

Runaway - The Corrs

 One of my favourite Delays songs - 'Waste of Space'

Like a millionaire, but with nothing to spare,
All this time on my hands doesn’t go anywhere,
But before you think to cry, I know 

That it’s not right that you're there, with your love going spare,
You’re like a waste of space in an empty room,
Just hoping someone gets to you soon -

The way you run around is not so clever,
I warn you, honey I love you,

With a heart full of song, I will push you away,
This I’ve known all along but I don’t think I’d blame
You for passing on…

But you know it’s not right that you care so much more than I care,
I’m just a waste of space, and I rarely move,
Here’s hoping someone gets to me soon -

The way you run around is not so clever,
I warn you honey, I love you

So centre stage is yours to take,
If you can lose this waste of space ...

Elbow - Starlings (from The Seldom Seen Kid) - an album fuly deserving of all the hype it generated:

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do

At the top I'm stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove

You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.

I sat you down and told you how
the truest love that's ever found
Is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guess I'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that's truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
The violets explode inside me
when I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings

Darling is this love?

 ^^^^^ Couldn't agree more about 'The Seldom Seen Kid'. Fantastic album.

 Mesh-29 'Secret Traffic'.

Son, we hope you'll find your feet

'Cause you don't say a word, and your dreams are absurd

But we'll stand by your side in this time. 

So, the band plays on

And when all comes to head we'll forget what we said at the start. 

How can I sleep when it's far from my reach?

Hold your ground, I'll make you proud, I'll make you so proud. 

High hopes. Low esteem

What if the lights go out? 

Well, we'll pull ourselves together, 'cause life isn't ever about

Taking the easy way out. 

So, the band plays on

And when all comes to head, we'll forget what we said at the start. 

How can I sleep when it's far from my reach? 

Hold your ground, I'll make you proud, I'll make you so proud.

I'll make you so very proud ...

 I couldn't help but think of Keane when I heard this song the other day.  Actually listened to the lyrics for the first time in my life after hearing it so many times, and it made me all nostalgic and sappy. :P

"The Load Out/Stay"

by Jackson Browne

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
When they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet but I can hear the sound
of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for this piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came

Now we got country and western on the bus, R&B
We got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
And we've got rural scenes & magazines
We've got truckers on the CB
We've got Richard Pryor on the video
And we got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play
People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know that you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song
I want you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please
Say you will, say you will
.....

Strangelove - Depeche Mode

There'll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life liveable
But when you think I've had enough
From your sea of love
I'll take more than another riverfull
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That's how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There'll be days
When I'll stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practise what I preach
I'm not trying to say
I'll have it all my way
I'm always willing to learn
When you've got something to teach
And I'll make it all worthwhile
I'll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it
I'll say it again -- pain
Pain will you return it
I won't say it again

 3 Doors Down-Let Me Be Myself.  

 

I guess I just got lost

Being someone else.I tried to kill the painBut nothing ever helped. 

 

I left myself behind

Somewhere along the way.I’m hoping to come back aroundTo find myself someday. 

 

Lately I’m so tired of waiting for you

To say that it’s ok. 

 

Tell me please, would you one time

Just let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light?Let me be myself. 

 

Would you let me be myself? 

 

 

I’ll never find my heart

Behind someone else. I’ll never see the light of dayLiving in this cell. 

 

It’s time to make my way

Into the world I knewAnd then take back all of these timesThat I gave into you. 

 

Lately I’m so tired of waiting for you

To say that it’s ok. 

 

So tell me please, would you one time

Let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light?Let me be myself for a whileIf you don’t mind, let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light Let me be myself. 

 

 

That’s all I ever wanted from this world

Is to let me be me. 

 

Please, would you one time

Let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light?Let me be myself. 

 

Please, would you one time

Let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light?Let me be myself for a whileIf you don’t mind, let me be myselfSo I can shine with my own light.Let me be myself. 

 

Ooohh, let myself.    Let me be me…
