Crowded House, Don't Dream It's Over


And I'm changing,
Swore I'd never compromise,
Oh, but you convinced me otherwise.
I'll do anything you need.

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down.
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew,
But I can't walk away from you.

"Shameless" - Garth Brooks

Your influence has been profound and I'm proud to be your son
Your blood is my blood and we are forever bound
You're the inspiration to the way I live my life
I'm singing,
Gillian if you weren't my mother I would make you my wife

[HalfCamel]

Gillian - The Waifs

The killer in me is the killer in you
My love
I send this smile over to you

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who’s left alone

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Disarm" Smashing Pumpkins

Girl of sixteen, whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists, bored with life
Didn’t succeed, thank the lord
For small mercies

er...and the trend of angst music begins...lol

blasphemous rumours - depeche mode

jesus is coming
he's stuck in atlanta
they've shut down the airport
he's having cocktails with santa

jesus is coming
he's gonna hang with madonna
i think they're related
she's named after his momma

[Foomatic]

Jesus Is Coming, John Eddie

Oh I - don't bend, don't break
Show me how to live and promise me you won't forsake

Seal - Love's Divine

Did you make disease and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too.

[meretricious]

dear god - xtc

i have been the worst of kinds
a sorrowed heart
a cluttered mind
and i'm thinkin' that i could change this
that i could change this
but i can't change this

[fun in dysfuntion]

matthew ryan - return to me

I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
Open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

[FineyMcFine]

"Tenderness" - General Public

Jesus hung wth a low-life crowd
But those working stiffs sure did him proud
Some were murderers, thieves and whores
But at least they didn't do it as legislators

(FID - whoa, I was totally thinking about posting some XTC lyrics and then I saw you posted some "Dear God" last night. What are the odds?)

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Longhaired Radical Socialist Jew" - Hugh Blumenfeld

Uncivilized we call him,
but I just saw him eat off the food we waste
Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ?
Who are we to judge ?
When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved
and killed over a racist grudge

Sally: XTC...bringing quirky minds together since the late 70s....lol...weird you were thinking of them, too.

[Foomatic]

Mr. Wendal, Arrested Development

And there's no meaning
In clothes and coffee cups
Cheap hotel furniture
Where silence never stops

And through the water
Through the ring
To the soul of everything
Throw my heart out
On the stones
And I'm almost gone

[FineyMcFine]

"As I'm Leaving" - David Gray

We don't care what they look like we'll eat them
Any way they can fit on our plate
Every way we can conjure to heat them
We're delighted and think they're just great

[fun in dysfuntion]

Potato - Cheryl Wheeler

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate.

[FineyMcFine]

"It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" - R.E.M.

I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect
Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
Now I laugh and make a fortune
Off the same ones that I tortured

[fun in dysfuntion]

Kiss Me, Son of God - They Might be Giants

And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?

[BreatheNoMore]

Primitive Radio Gods - Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand

one and one and one is two
all this and more you said was true
and if you’d left me ground to stand on
I’d run so far away from you

[fun in dysfuntion]

The Remainder - Sleater-Kinney

Though I ought to be learning I feel like a veteran
of "oh I like your poetry but I hate your poems"
calendars crumble I'm knee deep in numbers

[Warduke]

Obscurity Knocks by Trash Can Sinatras

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity...Romeo and Juliet

[Leafsdude]

Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult (From the Agents Of Fortune Album...Excellent song for halloween!)

Indian summer, Abilene.
You were new in town,
I was nineteen,
when the sparks flew.

They called us crazy behind our backs.
"Romantic fools",
Just let them laugh,
Because we knew.

It may be a long shot,
We may be lonely down the line.
But love knows no reason,
And I won't let them make up my mind.

[HalfCamel]

Dark Horse - Mila Mason

She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you

[meretricious]

billy joel - "she's always a woman"
(is it sad that i still have my 8-track of the stranger?)

the screen door slams
mary's dress waves
and like a vision, she dances
across the porch as the radio plays

roy orbison is singing for the lonely
hey that's me
and i want you only

[Foomatic]

Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen

And maybe when your heart and soul are burning
You might see
That everytime I’m talking with you
It’s always over too soon
That everyday feels so incomplete
Till you walk into the room
Say the word now girl
I’ll jump that moon hey

[meretricious]

david gray - "be mine"

she lets go, she lets it happen
it's a hot spell after a cold snap
my eyes are open
nobody's napping
she says
you don't want to miss a minute of me

[Leafsdude]

Just wish to note that, while Mila Mason did a cover of it, Dark Horse is originally a song by Amanda Marshall which was released in 1995 on her self-titled album.

Carry on...

Four-Eyed Girl by Rhett Miller

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

[Foomatic]

Lovecats, The Cure

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

[FineyMcFine]

"I Am The Highway" - Audioslave

Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same
There’s not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything
I has a dream last night, but I forget what it was

[Alexandra4sm]

Take the Skinheads Bowling- Camper Van Beethoven

Hold on
we can make it through the fire
and my love
I'm forever by your side
and you know
if you should ever call my name
I'll be right there
you'll never be alone

[fun in dysfuntion]

"You'll Never Be Alone" = Anastacia

Life like that
Delicious with clause
You never get the truth just promises galore
Fool at the heart
Don't look down
Everybody loves you when you're playing the clown
