I've been listening to this guy way too much recently.
oh well, okay - Elliot Smith
here's the silhouette the face always turned away
the bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
shook your head to say no no no
and stopped for a spell
and stayed that way
oh well, okay
i got pictures, i just don't see it anymore
climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
with the one i keep where it never fades
in the safety of a pitch black mind
an airless cell that blocks the day
oh well, okay
if you a get a feeling the next time you see me
do me a favor and let me know
'cos it's hard to tell
it's hard to say
oh well, okay
oh well, okay
oh well, okay.

You probably think this post is about you, don't you? ;)
 
It hasn't been a very wonderful day for me, so... "Perfect Blue Buildings" by the Counting Crows
Just down the street from your hotel, baby
I stay at home with my disease
And ain't this position familiar, darling
Well, all monkeys do what they see
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
Down on Virginia and La Loma
Where I got friends who'll care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion
Try to keep myself away from me
It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday
It doesn't get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle
of these lives which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion
Try to keep myself away from myself and me
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
There's a skeleton in every man's house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
There's a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion baby
Try to keep myself away from me
 
^^^^^^^^^^
they own. and you just reminded me of my song for today...
Anna Begins-Counting Crows
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
I am not worried I am not overly concerned
My friend implores me, "For one time only,
make an exception." I am not worried
Wrap her up in a package of lies
Send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried
I am not overly concerned
with the status of my emotions
"Oh," she says, "you're changing."
But we're always changing
It does not bother me to say this isn't love
Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
And I guess I'm going to have to live with that
But I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey,
Something in between,
And I can always change my name
If that's what you mean
My friend assures me, "It's all or nothing."
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget I am not worried
"If it's love," she said, "then we're going to have to think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking I can't stop touching her and...
This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days," she says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing
But I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not going to bend, and I'm not going to break and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say, "As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should
Snap her up in a butterfly net Pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before
But then I start to think about the consequences
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and...
The time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away and Anna begins to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
She's talking in her sleep
It's keeping me awake and Anna begins to toss and turn
And every word is nonsense but I understand and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
Her kindness bangs a gong
It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
She disappears and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
 
Here's A "Heineken Song:"
Song: Come Undone
Artist: Duran Duran
Year: 1993
Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you
(Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're tearing my heart
To pieces)
Oh, it'll take a little time,
might take a little crime
to come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
(x2)
Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers
(Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces)
Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now
We'll try to stay blind to the hope and fear outside
Hey child stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry...
Who do you need, Who do you love
When you come undone
 
^
hahaha. NICE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side I can't lie
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now
Can't you see
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
So come on
Get out of clothestime
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad
Dont get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad
The Offspring/Want You Bad

these lyrics appeal to me today and most every day.
the song of a generation...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
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
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't ever let them win
Don't Dream It's Over/Crowded House
 
OMG, MiNi, thank you.
That song reminds me of riding my bike in the summertime of my youth, mourning a lost love that I really never had.
much love :)
Hard to explain - The Strokes
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Tryin' to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
I said the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
Well I am too young
And they are too old
The joke is on you
This place is a zoo
You're right, it's true
He said he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everythings just great
Oh I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina (she says)
I'm not like that
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things
But act the wrong way
I like it right here
But I cannot stay
I watched the TV
Forget what I'm told
I am too young
And they are too old
I'll make it you see
I'm ever so pleased
Pretend to be nice
So I can be mean
I missed the last bus
I'll take the next train
I try, but you see
It's hard to explain
 
Bliss
Bliss is not the consequential phase
Never coming down on better days
Disturbed uncertain if erect
Though not recalling impact yet
Proposing only for the sound
Seduce intention to become unwound
Never coming down on better days
Reducing vision to a vibrant haze
Unnerved by promising to wait
Searching for vows to desecrate
Missing moments missing sets
Serene entranced but can't forget
Pinned improper out of place
Defining further depth to waste
Never coming down on better days
Never coming down on better days
Bliss is not the consequential phase
Once understood it all looks strange
Excised and warped then rearranged
Isolation coming closed
Stripped down is better than exposed
Excited only to regress
Consumed by what can't be possessed
Bliss is not the consequential phase
Never coming down on better days
Bliss is not the consequential phase
Bliss is not the consequential phase
Once understood it all looks strange
Never coming down on better days...
by, um...Spinkle, actually... ;)

Furnace - glad to see me and TopRocka arent the only Strokes fans on bl :)
 
"Never been here - How about you?"
You smile at my answer,
You've given me the chance,
To be held and understood.
You leave me laughing without crying,
There's no use denying,
For many times I've tried,
Love has never felt as good.
Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.
How'd you do it? How'd you find me?
How did I find you?
How can this be true?
To be held and understood.
Keep it coming - no one's running
The lesson I'm learning
'Cause blessings are deserved
By the trust that always could
Be it downtown or way up in the air,
When your heart's pounding,
You know that I'm aware.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.
You make it easy to watch the world with love,
You make it easy to let the past be done,
You make it easy.
Air/You Make It Easy
 
"Dancing Nancies"
Could I have been
A parking lot attendant
Could I have been
A millionaire in Bel Air
Could I have been
Lost Somewhere in Paris
Could I have been
You're little brother
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone other than me
Could I have been
Anyone
He stands touch his hair his shoes untied
Tongue gaping stare
Could I have been a magnet for money?
Could have been anyone other than me?
Twenty three and so tired of life
Such a shame to throw it all away
The images grow darker still
Could I have been anyone other than me?
Then I look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
I am who I am who I am well who am I
Requesting some enlightenment
Could I have been anyone other than me
And then I'll
Sing and dance
I'll play for you tonight
The thrill of it all
Dark clouds may hang on me sometimes
But I'll work it out
And then I
Look up at the sky
My mouth is open wide lick and taste
What's the use in worrying, what's the use in hurrying
Turn turn we almost become dizzy
Falling out of a world of lies
Could I have been a dancing Nancy a dancing Nancy
Could I have been anyone other than me?

Two songs that I heard today that just blew me away.
The Other Man - Sloan
You know he's not the one for you
But that's no fault of mine
He knows that I'm a friend of yours
But doesn't know I've crossed the line
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
You know I wanna keep my distance
'Cause it's happening anyway
He knows you're gonna drift apart
And there's nothing he can say
I know that he's a stand up guy
But that's none of my concern
We've all been in one situation or another
It's my turn
To be the other man
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
He's gonna find out that the rumours are true
Though they are still unbeknownst to you
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
You gotta find out before he does
I know you've got a man in the picture
But it hasn't stopped me yet
We've all be in one situation or another
We regret
Now I'm the other man
No one's rooting for me
If I'm the other man
Nature will abhor me
Yeah
No one sympathises
When you're the other man
Everyone despises
Yeah
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
We've all been in one situation or another
The Same Boy You've Always Known - The White Stripes
You fell down of course
and then you got up of course
and you started over
forgot my name of course
then you started to remember
pretty tough to think about
the beginning of december
pretty tough to think about
You're looking down again
and then you look me over
we're laying down again
on a blanket in the clover
the same boy you've always known
well I guess I haven't grown
the same boy you've always known
Think of what the past did
it could 've lasted
so put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
who can lend you a hand
lowering my casket
I thought this is just today
and soon you'd been returning
the coldest blue ocean water
cannot stop my heart and mind
from burning
everyone who's in the know says
that's exactly how it goes
and if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows

Subterranean Homesick Alien-radiohead
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
where you can't smell a thing,
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement.
Up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,
of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.
They're all uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight.
I wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
show me the world as I'd love to see it.
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright
I'm just uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight.

I can't completely relate, because it comes from a guy's point of view, but it IS how I feel...
crawl
Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
There's my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I will hear them
Here's a phrase that we all know
But I can't make sense
I don't know words but I will hear them
I still hear them
Never ran away for the sake of scars
Tried not to move but she was armed
And shots were fired
Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
Never had a drink that I didn't like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick
With every sour second rate kiss
Everything I never would miss again
I don't know who your boyfriend is
- alkaline trio.
 
Alkaline trio is mighty fine good music. three cheers for Doom Rock (as lapdawg is so fond of calling it).
 
H-tool
whats comin through is alive
whats holding up is a mirror
whats singing songs is a snake
looking to turn my piss to wine
theyre both totaly void of hate
killing me just the same and
the snake behind me hisses
what my damage could have been
my blood before me begs me
open up my heart again
and I feel this coming over like a storm again
now, considerately.
venomous voice tempts me
drains me,bleeds me
leaves me cracked and empty
drags me down like
some sweet gravity
snake behind me hisses
what my damage could have been
my blood before me begs me
open up my heart again
and I feel this coming over like a storm again
I feel this coming over like a storm again
I am too conected to you
to slip[ away,fade away
days away I still feel you
touching m, changeing me
considerately killing me
we found the skin here
beneath the storm
under these tears now
the walls came down
once the snake is drowned
theres a look in his eyes
my fear begins to fade
racalling al of the time
I could have cried and
I should have cried and
as the walls come down
and theres a look in his eyes
my fear begins to fade
racalling all of the times
I have died
I will die
thats all right
I dont mind
I DONT MINDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I am too conected to you
to slip away, fade away
days away I still feel you
touching me, changeing me
considerately killing me
---
I typed that from memory so theres probably a few mistakes but its one of my favorite songs ever,absolutley beutiful!!
 
MiNi, I love "Don't Dream it's Over"!!! Very good song :D Thanks for making it play in my head over and over!
 
w00t for alkaline trio...they are one of my favorite bands
so...yeah...this is my song by them for the day.
Maybe I'll Catch Fire
This house is full of ears but I can't talk to anyone
They've heard this one a thousand times
Most exciting thing I do
Hang half way out a third floor window,
Maybe throw lit cigarettes down
And maybe I'll catch fire,
Something warm to hold me,
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil shit's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice
This house is full of eyes but I can't look at anyone
They've seen this face a thousand times
Most relaxing thing I do
Hang half way out a third floor window,
And look at rocks if I fall out,
And maybe I'll fall hard,
Something tough to break me,
Something sharp to rip into my insides
And bleed out all that pain
Sorry I don't even know your name
I guess for me it's easy this way
Maybe I'll catch fire,
Something warm to hold me,
Something pure to burn away the darkness
That hides inside my mind
All that evil shit's not hard to find
I guess I only claim to be nice
