Skye Sweetnam - Wild World

Here she's coming and she's drunk again
She's only seventeen
Her daddy said, "Well, that's enough of that
Come be my little queen"
And now he's touching her wrong again
He's gonna give her disease
He never wanted it anyway
He only does as he please...

[Foomatic]

Seether, I'm The One

Well now I've been good for way too long
Found my red dress and I'm gonna throw it on
Bout to get too far gone

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition
Need a little bit more of my twelve ounce nutrition

[VMarie]

Dixie Chicks - "Sin Wagon"

---

And it runs deeper than you dare to dream it could be
The black seal
She makes you better than anything you’ve tried
It’s in her kiss
She comes along
She gets inside

[meretricious]

nine inch nails - "with teeth"

and she doesn't care
breathe the same air
i don't have a hope in hell
doesn't see we could agree
this could be so blissful
now

[hermitfish]

Andy Stochansky - Stutter


are you out of luck, but what the fuck
you've made it this far, honey
dancing skills are under par
so meet me in the dark

cuz if you feel unnoticed
well I feel unnoticed, too

[hermitfish]

Hey I think I killed the thread in one try...bad Cyd

It was...

Jonny Polonsky - Much Love

trying again (something that can actually be googled this time)

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life

[FineyMcFine]

The Smiths - Panic

We drew our arms around the bastard sons
We never would drink to the chosen ones
Well you know the way I left was not the way I planned
But I thought the world needed love and a steady hand
So I’m steady now

[VMarie]

"If I Wrote You" - Dar Williams

----

Jump with the moon and move it
Jump back and forth
It feels like you would let yourself work it out

[HalfCamel]

Dare - Gorillaz

--------

I would pray to be the rain that runs over and in your skin
With no consequence
To be the liquid in your glass that falls around your lips and mouth
Swallow me

[willowfan7]

Lorna Vallings - Taste

If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like the sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded

[fun in dysfuntion]

"4am" - Our Lady Peace

The sky is blue
The coffee is blacker than I’ve ever seen
It’s getting late or I could say it’s early depending on how I want to look at this day
It doesn’t really matter I don’t mind starting or ending this way

[FineyMcFine]

"Dying Man's Wish" - Doria Roberts

and on the day we were wed
up to the altar he was led
lay like a prisoner in my bed
oh, how we shivered

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Gypsy Rose" - Tracy Grammer


I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
And if you'd'a took to me like
Well I'd'a danced like the queen of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would'a fared well.

[FineyMcFine]

"New Slang" - the Shins

You took the toaster when you went
You never paid your half the rent
You took the spices from the rack
But you don't have to put them back

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Are You Happy Now?" - Richard Shindell (kinda sounds like a folkier Michael Stipes to me)

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

[FineyMcFine]

"Lost in the Supermarket" - the Clash

You want to know why I hate you, well I'll try and explain...
You remember that day in Paris when we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other that we'd always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

[fun in dysfuntion]

(Oh. *giggles* that's a classic to my wannabe goth days. Still have the chords to Just Like Heaven scribbled in my old music notebook. )

"How Beautiful You Are" - The Cure

There's a chair in my head on which I used to sit
Took a pencil and I wrote the following on it
Now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be
Dig it up, throw it at me

[s82 v]

K's Choice, Virgin State of Mind

Days swiftly come and go.
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone.
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall.

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Swing Swing" - The All-American Rejects (very cool sounding band (kinda Green Day-ish), always had a soft spot for sycopated drums and distortion pedals)


Tremble with a sigh, glitter in your eye.
You seem to come and go,
I never seem to know.
And all my time is yours as much as mine,
We never have enough time to show our love

[FineyMcFine]

"Vapour Trail" - Ride

There is a hope
That's been expressed in you
The hope of seven generations, maybe more
And this is the faith
That they invest in you
It's that you'll do one better than was done before

[fun in dysfuntion]

"May I Suggest" - Ellis Paul

hey man of science with your perfect rules of measure
can you improve this place with the data that you gather
hey mother mercy can your loins bear fruit forever?
is your fecundity a trammel or a treasure?

[FineyMcFine]

"I Want to Conquer the World" - Bad Religion

("May I Suggest" - well I've learned something, that Ellis Paul covered it! (Susan Werner wrote it))

I used to be young
Now I'm old
I used to be hot
Now I'm almost cold
I used to be hard as candy
But I've been sucked on too long, so long, so long

[fun in dysfuntion]

I Need a Doctor - The Nields

(Ah, covers...the bane of this thread...lol)

I feel like I've spent my whole life just kicking round
and not getting in the way
and now, and maybe now I should change
because I'm starting to lose all my faith
while those around me are beaten down each day.

[meretricious]

boo radleys - lazarus

i have become a disappointment to myself
but doesn't everybody love to be disappointed?

i have asked the lord; i have asked everyone
no one around here seems to want to help
and if no one is here,
to rock me to sleep tonight

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Rock Myself" - Patrick Davis

I got myself a guitar and I got myself some friends
Some folks say I’m lucky, but I think it all depends…
On the lens that you are looking through and the music that you hear;
Cause sometimes you don’t recognize your own face in the mirror

[HalfCamel]

"Travelin’ Song" – Jackie Greene

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I’m talkin’
You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, and tear it apart

[fun in dysfuntion]

"#1 Crush" - Garbage

I’m never gonna know you now,
but I’m gonna love you anyhow
Now she’s done and they’re calling someone
Such a familiar name
I’m so glad that my memory's remote
’cause I’m doing just fine hour to hour, note to note

[the hero factor]

"Waltz #2" -Elliott Smith


I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

[fun in dysfuntion]

Swing Life Away - Rise Against

(sorry hero factor...i didn't see your previous post...my bad)

I don't remember what happened yesterday,
I don't give a damn about what all those people say.
It takes years to find the nerve to be apart from what you've done,
To find the truth inside yourself and not depend on anyone.

[the hero factor]

"All the Way" -New Order


Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page


(Not a problem, fun in dysfuntion.)
