Lyrics for the day (page 2)

'Soup Song' by Bob Wyatt from his 1975 album 'Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard".

There's a mushroom on my eyelid,
There's a carrot down my back,
I can see in the distance a vast quantity of beans.
To you I'm just a flavour to make your soup taste nice.
Oh my God! Here come the onions and, I don't believe it,
at least a pound of rice.

There was a time when bacon sandwiches
were everyone's favourite snack.
I'm delicious when I'm crunchy, even when I'm almost black.
So why you make a soup with me,
I just can't understand.
It seems so bloody tasteless,
not to mention underhand

Now there's no hope of getting out of here,
I can feel I'm going soft.
Dirty waters soak my fibres,
the whole saucepan's getting hot
So I may as well resign myself,
make friends with a few peas,
but I just, I can't help hoping
that a tummy ache will bring you to your knees.

Bring you to your knees....

THIS IS NOW -- lyrics by Hatebreed

Another memory and I'm asking myself How can I let the past be the past. Once and for all take a hold of the future And not let it control what I aspire to have. I see where my decisions have brought me Whats done is done and its time to start again Can't let it tear me in two waste me away I gotta believe

Cause this is now How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today. This is now If I control myself I control my destiny. What I've seen and what I've been through has made me who I am There was a time in my life where I had no desire to carry on I couldn't see a place for me or a will to survive I never thought to rely on myself or the beliefs that I have denied But this is now How can I can change tomorrow if I can't change today This is now If I control myself I control my destiny

So hard done by Tragically Hip

interesting and sophisticated
refusing to be celebrated
it?s a monumental big screen kiss
it?s so deep it?s meaningless
one day you?ll just up and quit
and that?ll be it
just then the stripper stopped in a coughing fit
she said sorry I can?t go on with this

yeah that?s awful close
but that?s not why
I?m so hard done by

it was true cinema a clef
you should see it before there?s nothing left
in an epic too small to be tragic
you?ll have to wait a minute
cause it?s an instamatic

yeah that?s awful close
but that?s not why
I?m so hard done by

Just then the room became more dimly lit
as the emcee carried on with it
and now that I got you all strangely compelled
I?m afraid that Candy?s not feeling well

close, but that?s not why
I?m so hard done by

THE BACKGROUND
(Jenkins, Cadogan)

Everything is quiet, Since you're not around,
And I live in the numbness now.
In the background.
I do the things we did before,
I walk Haight Street to the store,
And they say where's that crazy girl?
You don't get drunk on red wine, And fight no more,
I don't see you anymore,
Since the hospital,

The plans I make still have you in them,
Cause you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you,
I only know because I carry you around,
In the background.
I'm in the background

Words they come and memories all repeat,
Lift your head while they change the hospital sheets,
I would never lie to you, No
I would never lie to you, No
I felt you long after we were through.
When we were through

The plans I make still have you in them,
Cause you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you,
I only know because I carry you around,
In the background.

Cause I felt you long after we were through.

When you come swimming into view,
And I'm hanging on your words like I always used to do,
The words they use so lightly, I only feel for you,
I only know because I'm way, I'm way,
In the background,
I'm in the background

Thinking of high school today.. so, I'm dedicating this song to my first love (I was 14 lol)

My Boo

There's always that one person
that will always have your heart
You never see it comin'

Know that you're that one for me,
it's clear for everyone to see
Ooh baby, oh, you will always be my boo

but I know about us and, uh,
it's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know bout cha'll
but I know about us and, uh,

Do you remember girl, I was the one who gave you your first kiss
Cause I remember girl I was the one
who said put your lips like thisEven before all the fame and people screamin' your name
Girl I was there and you were my baby

It started when we were younger you were mine (my boo)
Now another brothers' taken over but it's
still in your eyes (my boo)
Even though we use to argue it's alright
(it's alright girl, that's okay)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while,
but you will always be my boo.
I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine (my boo)
And when I see from time to time I still feel like, (my boo)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide (my boo)
And even though there's another man who's in my life, you will always be my boo
Yes I remember boy, cause after we kissed
I could only think about your lips
Yes I remember boy, the moment I knew you where the one I could spend my life with

Even before all the fame and people screamin' your name
I was there and you were my baby

It started when we were younger you were mine (my boo)
Now another brothers' taken over but it's
still in your eyes (my boo)
Even though we used to argue it's alright
(it's alright, it's ok)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while,
but you will always be my boo

I was in love with you when we were younger you were mine (my boo)
And when I see from time to time I still feel like, (my boo)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide (my boo)
And even though there's another man who's in my life,
you will always be my boo

My oh, my oh, my oh, my oh, my, my boo
My oh, my OH, my oh, my oh, my boo

It started when we were younger you were mine (my boo)
Now another brothers' taken over but its'

I Know we haven't seen each other in a while,
but you will always be my boo

I don't know bout cha'll
but I know about us and uh
it's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know bout cha'll
but I know about us and uh
it's the only way we know how to rock
(it started when we were younger…my boo)

another Vincent thread??

these were, are, and will be my favorite lyrics

She caught the melting sky. It burned but still the winter passes by and by to the other side A slow parade of wind that blows through trees that wilted With the season's children Are we saved by the words of bastard saints? Do we live in fear or faith Tell me now who's behind the rain A maze of tangled grace The symptoms of "for real" are crumbling from embrace But still we chase...the shadows of belief And new religion clouds our visions of the roots of our souls Are we ashamed of our own fate Or play the fool for our own sake Tell me who's behind the rain What do we need where do we go when we get where we don't know Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow When faith's our shelter from the cold Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away...away Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away Quicksand Jesus I need you Quicksand Jesus I believe you Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away

AVRIL LAVIGNE LYRICS "My Happy Ending"

So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something You said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be

[Chorus]

It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done

[Chorus x2]

[x2]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...
So much for my happy ending

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh...

Well, you've got me working so hard lately.

Working my hands until they bleed.

If I was twice the man I could be, I'd still be half of what you need.

Still, you lead me, and I follow.

Anything you ask is what I'll do.

But this one act of consecration is what I ask of you.

Ringfinger- promise carved in stone, deeper than the sea.

Ringfinger- sever flesh and bone, and offer it to me.

You just leave me nailed here, hanging like Jesus on this cross.

I'll be dying for your sins, and aiding to the cause.

Ringfinger- promise carved in stone, deeper than the sea.

Ringfinger- sever flesh and bone, and offer it to me.

Wrap my eyes in bandages.

Confessions I see through.

I get everything I want, when I get part of you.

Ringfinger- promise carved in stone, deeper than the sea.

Ringfinger- devil's flesh and bone, do something for me.

I'm so tired I can't get to sleep.

And the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that's repeating in my head.

I just want you to know, when I do it, I only think of you.

Well I just saw Sarah McLachlan in concert last Friday (and it was a phenomenal concert). So I've been kinda overdosing on her stuff. Here's one of at least 20 I could post.

"Train Wreck"Your love in all it's finery
Tear up the darkness all around me
Until I can breathe again
Until I believe again

Cause I'm a train wreck
Waiting to happen
Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks
A wild fire born of frustration
Born of a world, oh, that gets me so high
I've no fear at all

But your eyes like midnight fireflies
Light up the trenches where my heart lies
Until I can see again
Find my way back again

Cause I'm a train wreck
Waiting to happen
Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks
A wild fire born of frustration
born of the one love that gets me so high

I've no fear at all
To fall so deep into you
Loose myself completely
In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased

From your mouth, it's all that I wish
Mercy of your lips, just one kiss
Until I can breathe again
Until I can sing again

Cause I'm a train wreck
Waiting to happen
Waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks
A wild fire born of frustration
born of the one love that gets me so high

I've no fear at all
To fall so deep into you
Loose myself completely
In your sweet embrace
All my pain's erased
