"Kite" - Nick Heyward (is that right?)

New York is far away from here
New York is far away from here
And you can see it in the coffee shops
And catch it from the corner of your eye

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Beg to Differ" - Patty Larkin

(yep. nick heyward. you found it w/ my typo on the first word...lol should be "Life's like that"...heh...I had to pull the lyrics from the cd)

It's my direction
It's my proposal
It's so hard
It's leading me astray

[FineyMcFine]

"Souvenir" - Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark

Rhymes will groove you
And I'm here to prove to you
That we can party on the positive side
And pump positive vibes
So come along for the ride
Making you feel the rhythm is my occupation

[meretricious]

marky mark, good vibrations

maybe not today or even next year
but before you know it you'll be saying
is this all there was, what was all the fuss?
why did i bother?
why did i waste it?
why didn't i taste it?

"You'll Have Time" - Ben Folds Five

Oh say it's not true
The things they said we do
And how could I explain
The pleasure in the pain
They're calling us insane

[FineyMcFine]

"Don't Let Me Down, Gently" - The Wonder Stuff

History is written by winners baby
So let’s make a little of our own tonight
If you’re thinking that my idea of fun is a drag
Then you’ve never been to paradise

[Jennpurr]

My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, "Sex On Wheelz?"

If so, here's mine:


Barefoot in the bed of your truck
On a blanket looking up
Half a moon peeking down at us
From underneath the clouds
Teenage kids sneaking out again
Heard the thunder rolling in
We were falling the moment when
It all came pouring down

Er...not 50 cent...

"Georgia Rain" - Trisha Yearwood

One little kiss isn't anything
You keep insisting on everything
I won't be sad
Someone turned a light on

[FineyMcFine]

"Can U Dig IT?" - Mock Turtles

August '49, north Montana
Hottest day on record and the forest tinder dry
Lightning strikes in the mountains
I was crew chief at the jump base, I prepared the boys to fly

ETA: Jennpurr, yes it was My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult yep

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Cold Missouri Waters" written by James Keelaghan

if I had to hazard a guess as to the group you have in mind....

Cry, Cry, Cry (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky )

(I think Can U Dig It is a Coolio song...but it is Can You Dig It..lol) On to the lyrics...


I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

[dorksrcool]

The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star"

"You keep your distance with a system of touch,
and gentle persuasion.
I'm lost in admiration,
could I need you this much?
Oh you're wasting my time,
you're just, just wasting time."

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Head Over Heals" by Tears for Fears

No matter what I try to do
Gonna spend my whole life through
Loving you
I'll find some party wait and see
Who am I kidding, only me
Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a hopeless case

[FineyMcFine]

"Can't Get Used to Losing You" - The English Beat

Sarah's the kind of girl who pierced her ears years before anybody else.
And all the mothers say her mother was-
And all the mothers say her mother was a slut
And we couldn't pierce our ears till we turned 12 no matter what

(FID: Coolio, LOL! My bad. And I was thinking of James Keelaghan yep - although Cry Cry Cry is where I first heard the song. I heard JK play it live once though and it was good - very powerful.)

[BreatheNoMore]

The Beat - Can't Get Used To Losing You

can’t predict everything
with newton-like certainty why? oh my
’cause it floats around all we see
with oscillating energy on high

[candybabe86]

?? One Beat by Sleater Kinney ??

I wanna heal
I wanna feel
what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long
erase all the pain till it’s gone

My personal anthem for 2003/04

[Foomatic]

Somewhere I Belong - Linkin park

Cause i want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And i'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control

[fun in dysfuntion]

Alrighty...couple of songs to identify...

SallyMcFine: "One Thousand Sarahs" by Eddie From Ohio

Foomatic: "Hysteria" by Muse

I don't act too cool
Cause I'm not that weak
Accept respect for the havoc I wreak
My evil is good, this I believe

[meretricious]

luscious jackson, daughters of the chaos

don't you do me wrong
i am coming home again
like i was never gone,
like i never been gone
oh clara, there's something going wrong

[FineyMcFine]

"Old Bones" - Sonia Dada (? - groovy tune)

I've got a pocket full of quarters,
and I'm headed to the arcade.
I don't have a lot of money,
but I'm bringing everything I've made.

[Jennpurr]

Hee... the Pac Man song, right? That's by Buckner and Garcia.

And if these are my parting words
Then let this, my last request
Hold me here until I sleep
If I burn, then I burn for you

"Cadence" - Anberlin

She says my work is like eating cold oatmeal
day after day, and she's right.
Drunk on margaritas and full of food,
she says "it's hard to be with one when you're in love with another."

[fun in dysfuntion]

"Living With The Dreaming Body" - Poi Dog Pondering

Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands

[Foomatic]

Tracy Chapman, All That You Have Is Your Soul

You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get?
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget?

[fun in dysfuntion]

"secret garden" - bruce springsteen

I wear black on the outside
’cause black is how I feel on the inside
And if I seem a little strange
Well, that’s because I am

[SakuraEtsuko]

Smiths-Unloveable

Poets often use many words
To say a simple thing
But it takes thought and time and rhyme
To make a poem sing

kudos to whoever can get this!

[FineyMcFine]

Well, if kudos are up for grabs...

"Fly Me To The Moon" - Utada (?)

if I could give you that
I'd give it all the time
you're just a little tired today
tomorrow you'll be fine
if love heals anything at all
we should be flying
if I could give you that
I'd love you all the time

[SakuraEtsuko]

Little Suicides (Golden Palominos / Pure)

nice job its utada hikaru btw.

ok ill be shocked if anyone gets this lol.

man sits all alone it is himself that he must face
in the stillness of his truth
how it makes him so afraid
as he sees the limits of his power
he bows his head, in humility


:P:P good luck!
