natalie merchant, "the worst thing."

just as i'm breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky
surrenders it all

[meretricious]

the cure "from the edge of the deep green sea"

something i said
must've hit her like a flashing red light
giving her a reason to fly on me
she's dancing with the girls tonight
three a.m. and she wraps herself around me

[dorksrcool]

OMG meretricious I love that song! One of my favorite bands of all-time. "Again and Again" by Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

There is this thing keeping everyone's lungs and lips locked.
It is called fear and it's seeing a great renaissance.
After the show you can not sing wherever you want.
But for now lets all pretend that we're gonna get bombed.

[Katez0r]

That, my dear Ames, would be "Sing" by The Dresden Dolls. I love that song to pieces. The whole album, actually. In fact, I'm listening to it right now.


Don't cry, there's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves we'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest through so many splintered trees
You and me and these shadows keep on changing

[dorksrcool]

That, my dear Kate, would be "Haunted" by the lovely and talented Poe.

You said yr piece,
it's killing me,
I can't believe
it's over.
Oh, oh, oh,
yr not the enemy
but underneath
you don't agree.
Take comfort that it's over
oh, oh, oh.
Yr hands tied,
you feel shy,
believe I'm on your side
now and forever,
oh, oh, oh.

[Kaia]

dorkscool, I think you killed the thread. It's been 17 days and I have no idea what song that is...care to enlighten us?

K.

[dorksrcool]

Sorry I killed the thread, I kinda forgot about it actually. I'm surprised there weren't any kittens who knew that this song is by Gossip and it's called "Jealous Control Girls." So someone else can post a lyric since my tastes seem to be obscure.

[Kaia]

Ok, here it goes.

i wish you out of the woods
and into the picture with me
i wish you over the moon
come out of the question and be

if this going to
run round in my head
i might as well be dreaming
run round in my head

[Twisted Minstrel]

Kind of gave that one away - it's Out of the Windows by Nickel Creek.


dance me to your beauty
with a burning violin
dance me through the panic
till I'm gathered safely in

[Kaia]

Umm...actually, it was "Out of the woods" by Sinèad Lohan. *shrugs*

[Twisted Minstrel]

There are two versions then.

[db]

Dance Me to the End of Love sung by the one & only Leonard Cohen.


The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

[db]

I think I broke the thread

the song was

I'd Rather Dance With You by: Kings of Convenience

someone else's turn?

[FineyMcFine]

Okay, I'll start us anew.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

[oneyedchicklet]

Proud Mary by Ike & Tina Turner, Tina Turner or CCR...Take your pick.

With the dark,
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away

I can say
The night is long but you are there
Close at hand I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live


HUGS

"Follow You, Follow Me" by Genesis

I knew just what to say
Now I found out today
All the words had slipped away but I know
There's always a chance
A tiny spark will remain
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again

[Beamer311]

I'll Be Around by Spinners

the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends

[Sandman78]

Remyxamotosis by Radiohead

I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

[mudrat]

"Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town" by Pearl Jam (I love that song).

I kicked in his door at 5am
"I've come for my bike," I told the repo man
My 920's gonna take me far today
You can travel for miles and never leave L.A.

[dorksrcool]

"Come A Long Way" by Michelle Shocked

Knock, knock,
are you alone?
No one's out here and I was not followed.
Love, love,
you're already home.
Party's over and you
don't look so good.

[hivemind]

Imogen Heap's "Clear The Area"

I don't kiss the future like the fortune tellers do
So I can't dream with you at night
Pessimism's hunger changes everything
I wish I walked with faith and not by sight but...

You know with anything you do
There’s a hundred people bringing you down
No matter how you are

[Leafsdude]

Okay, so I cheated, but someone has to get this thread going again.

PM Dawn - Faith In You...I prefer Set Adrift On Memory Bliss.

Try this:

It goes like this,
We have no choice,
The minarets,
The wailing voice.
And vaguely celtic music fills the air.

We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate.
We really know nothing about them.
And no one cares.

Aladdin and the 40 thieves,
Enhanced by brand new effects.
Saddam and his cow disease,
Spiced up with some gratuitous sex

A movie's made,
A war is won,
A low speed chase,
A smoking gun,
Distracts us while the actor,
Takes the stand.

[Lucian]

Sell Sell Sell - Barenaked Ladies

Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound

[Beamer311]

O.A.R. - Love and Memories

Cat killing dogs, pigs eating rats
every mouth will eat you up the king bug laughs
Belly of the heart Belly full of bats
the chromosomes seem not to want the fetus

[Foomatic]

Oh, I had to dig deep for this one. I'd say a revival is in order!


Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Yummy! Champagne Supernova, Oasis

I know the shape of your hands because I watch them when you talk
And I know the shape of your body 'cause I watch it when you walk
And I want to know it all but I'm giving you the lead
So go on, go on and take it, don't fake it, shake it

[chewy 19]

Jayma - Gray or Blue

'C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,

[umgaynow]

Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill

Did you ever wake up to the sound
Of streetcats making love
And guess that from their cries
you were listenin' to a fight?

[Zodiax]

Looks like Rain - Grateful Dead

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Piazza, New York Catcher, Belle & Sebastian


Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well
