Broken Wing _ Grammatics

Listen


Every mistake that you watched me make, I made again.
Sat up wide-awake, a coma sounds great...now send me down.

And if you are, unhappy well you know the worst isn't here,
You'll fall into another's arms before I re-appear here.

Out in the sticks the sun called in sick for weeks on end.
There's passport controls and oceans of road between us now.

Through countryside to the industry, the routine hits full swing.
I'm taking to the stage tonight with a broken wing.

Things that I lose I find I don't need once I know they're gone,
But that can't be you because what we've been though is valuable.

Clear my lungs, set my breating right,
The violence, the blood sport, the bias, the difference,
The codec for a love at first sight,
Kills the money worry, sets the bias, the difference.

It's embarrassing, embarrassing, broken wing.

 

 Love this one

 Back to the start (Lily Allen)

When we were growing up you always looked like you were having such fun
You always were and you always will be the taller and the prettier one
People seem to love you
They gravitate towards you
That's why I started to hate you so much
And I just completely ignored you

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

I've been so evil with my constant invasions
But you made it so easy for me
You always rise to the occasion
I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say
But I found it so entertaining
Messing around with your head

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start
Go back to the start
Go back to the start

This is not just a song
I intend to put these words into action
I hope that it sums up the way that I feel to your satisfaction

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

Going far, but getting nowhere...

- Tears for Fears

A Balladeer - Fortune Teller (I just love that song)

look at you now
in such a rush but one big step behind
you need a clue now
all blinded by the gypsy of your mind

if you give me you hand -
I'll do what I can to get you calm
by making up the meaning of the lines in your palm

look at you now
uptight and in denial for a while
you look like *** now
it's the tears of things and halb so schlimm

come on, show me that smile

and give me your hand -
I'll do what I can to get you calm
by making up the meaning of the lines in your palm

look at you now

This time the revolution will be computerized

- Jesus Jones,"Zeroes and Ones"

 If I don't write this song, someone I love will die _ Hello Saferide

I check my bed for bugs and spiders
(though I don’t really believe they’re there)
I check my head, it’s getting tighter
I want to stop, but I don’t dare
I will not sleep until I’ve counted to 200 three times
I will not sleep until my pencils lie in a straight line

Goodnight, goodbye
It’s late, and I’m too tired to cry
Goodnight, goodbye
Just let me close my weary eyes

I pray to God twice in the evenings
And check the stove four times each day
I spin around the door to make sure that it’s locked
And wear these lucky socks until they fade away
The house might burn down
And it’s all my fault if that puddle doesn’t get me wet
If I get home before the rain, you’re mine
But I won’t bet

One day, I’ll be stepping
On cracks and close my eyes
But I’m too tired to argue with myself
I’ll just do this one more time

"A White Demon Love Song" - The Killers

White Demon love song
At my heart
White Demon shadow on the road
Back up your mind there is a car
She hears it coming after all this time
She likes the way he sings
White Demon love songs in her dreams

White Demon where's your selfish kiss?
White Demon sorrow will arrange
Let's not forget about the fear
Black invitation to a place
That cannot change
Wild, strangely holey
Come for a break

White Demon, why didn't your hearts go?
White Demon, who let your friends go?
White Demon, why didn't your hearts go?
White Demon, who let your friends go?

Let us be in love, let us be in love
Let's do old embrace, let's do old embrace
I won't make you cry, I won't make you cry
I will never stray, I will never stray
I will do my part, I will do my part
Let us be in love tonight

White Demon, why didn't your hearts go?
White Demon, who let your friends go?
White Demon, why didn't your hearts go?
White Demon, who let your friends go?

*************************

The bridge sorta reminds me of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". :P  I'm in love with this song at the moment.

The Outsiders _ Athlete

We can walk in straight lines
We can't see quite right
We've lost the plot
And we can't get it back
So lets lose ourselves
Lets lose ourselves

Can you spot the English here?

Let's pick a fight on whomever we like
Cause we're never wrong
Nobody likes us
We don't care
So let's lose ourselves
let's lose ourselves

Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real
But it doesn't make sense
we're the outsiders
We can see all this speech
come staggering out
and we can climbs its way
to the top of that cloud

I'm away with the fairies now
(x4)

This familiar environment
Gets my lungs confused
I breath in every particle
that you drive thru
that you drive thru

Well can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real
But it doesn't make sense
We're the outsiders
We can see all this speech
Come staggering out
And it can its way to the top
of that cloud

Oh I'm away with the fairies now

Oh I'm away with the fairies now

Oh I'm away with the fairies now

Oh I'm away with the fairies now

 Good Morning, Captain - Slint

"Let me in," the voice cried softly
From outside the wooden door
Scattered remnants of the ship could be seen in the distance
Blood stained the icy wall of the shore

"I'm the only one left. The storm took them all,"
He managed as he tried to stand
The tears ran down his face
"Please, it's cold."

When he woke, there was no trace of the ship
Only the dawn was left behind by the storm
He felt the creaking of the stairs beneath him
That rose, from the sea, to the door

There was a sound at the window then
The captain started, his breath was still
Slowly, he turned

From behind the edge of the windowsill
There appeared the delicate hand of a child
His face was flush and timid
He stared at the captain through frightened eyes

The captain reached for something to hold on to
"Help me," he whispered, as he rose slowly to his feet
The boy's face went pale
He recognized the sound

Silently, he pulled down the shade against the shadow
Lost in the doorstep of the empty house

"I'm trying to find my way home.
I'm sorry . . .
And I miss you

I miss you
I've grown taller now
I want the police to be notified
I'll make it up to you
I swear, I'll make it up to you

I miss you."  

"I Don't Care Anymore" - Phil Collins

Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a damned disgrace
(Slander)Drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore.
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.

'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to an end.
They don't care anymore.
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.

I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore

Well, I don't care now what you say
'Cos ev'ry day I'm feeling fine with myself
And I don't care now what you say
Hey I'll do alright by myself
'Cos I know.

'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos you held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just to let me be.
I don't care anymore D'you hear? I don't care no more

I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way.
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
D'you hear? I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more
You know I don't care no more
no more no more no more.... 

Strange Little Girl, where are you going?

-Tori Amos

Edge of the Ocean - Ivy

There's a place I dream about 
Where the sun never goes out. 
And the sky is deep and blue. 
Won't you take me there with you. 

Oooh, we can begin again. 
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in. 
At the edge of the ocean 
We can start over again. 

There's a world I've always known 
Somewhere far away from home. 
When I close my eyes I see 
All the space and mystery. 

Oooh, we can begin again. 
Shed our skin, let the sun shine in. 
At the edge of the ocean 
We can start over again. 

Sabrina Starke - Do For Love

 It's that four letter word we all know
ever felt or shown at one time
found and lost at some time
but when you find it, you should keep it
Simply cherish it, just like a best friend
It's that four letter word, the original peacemaker
that's universal and strong
and with it, you can never go wrong
cuz now you know, the next time around
cuz when you call upon it, make sure to pass it on
So go ahead and...

 
Do for love
like you can do
nothing else
no more

Sing for love
like your favorite song
playing on the radio

Stand for love
like you haven't stood for anything
in life before

In the name of love
let's sing this song
do it all in the name of love


All the fame and all the riches
will one day fade away
while that everlasting word
will always stay
through the ages and the years
cuz when you want it, it appears
cuz it will never fail you
so bear with me, go ahead now...

 
Do for love
like you can do nothing else
no more

Sing for love
like your favorite song
playing on the radio

Stand for love
like you haven't stood for anything
in life before

In the name of love
let's sing this song
do it all in the name of love...

 
It is what we need more of
in this world today
it is love that will take away
all the ugliness we see
so just let it be....

Ooo ooo ooo...


Do for love
like you can do nothing else
no more

Sing for love
like your favorite song
playing on the radio

Stand for love
like you haven't stood for anything
in life before

In the name of love
let's sing this song
do it all ....

Do for love
like you can do nothing else
no more

Sing for love
like your favorite song
playing on the radio

Stand for love
like you haven't stood for anything
in life before

In the name of love
let's sing this song
do it all in the name of love

This is the song that never ends...

Yes it goes on and on my friends...

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was...

And some continued singing it forever just because...

This is the song that never ends...

Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars 

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.
The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now, now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...
now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago


it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah
