How you turn my world you precious thing.
You starve and near exhaust me.
Everything I've done I've done for you.
I move the stars for no one.
You've run so long, you've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Oh, I do believe in you.
Yes, I do-o
Live without the sunlight
Love without your heart beat
I . . . I-i can't live within you.


David Bowie, Within you, written for the movie, Labyrinth

Beauty from Pain by Superchick, and awesomely beautiful song that just speaks to me.

The lights go out all around me
One last candle to keep out the night
And then the darkness surrounds me
I know I'm alive
But I feel like I've died

And all that's left is to accept that it's over
My dreams ran like sand through the fists that I made
I try to keep warm but I just grow colder
I feel like I'm slipping away

After all this has passed
I still will remain
After I've cried my last
There'll be beauty from pain
Though it won't be today
Someday I'll hope again
And there'll be beauty from pain
You will bring beauty from my pain

My whole world is the pain inside me
The best I can do is just get through the day
When life before is only a memory
I wonder why God let me walk through this place

And though I can't understand why this happened
I know that I will when I look back someday
And see how You've brought beauty from ashes
And made me as gold purified through these flames

Here and I am at the end of me (at the end of me)
Trying to hold to what I can't see
I forgot how to hope
This night's been so long
I cling to your promise there will be a dawn

I JUST WANNA LIVE -- performed by Good Charlotte.

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creepin' about
These people are freakin' me out (these days)
It's getting hectic everywhere that I go
They won't leave me alone
There's things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid about the people I meet
Why are they talkin' to me
And why can't anyone see

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Just wanna live (6x)

I rock a law suit when I'm goin' to court
A white suit
when I'm gettin' divorced the black suit
at the funeral home in my birthday suit
when I'm home alone
Talkiin' on the phone
Got an interview with the Rolling Stone
They're sayin' "Now you're rich and now you're famous
fake butt girls all know your name and
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,
Your first hit, aren't you ashamed
Of the life, of the life, of the life you're livin"

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messin' around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said every one of my teachers

Look out, you better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say, where we're comin' from
We've already seen the worst that this life can bring

Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me

(Just wanna live [3x])

I just wanna live
(just wanna live [3x])
i just wanna live
(just wanna live [3x])
Don't really care about the things that they say
(just wanna live [3x])
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live


Not particulary my favorite lyrics, but the song is just plain cool. Especially the part after the first chorus... I don't know how ou call the thing --but I got an excuse: I'm Peruvian. We call it "estrofa" in Spanish.

I ROCK A LAWSUIT WHEN I'M GOIN TO COURT A BLACK SUIT...

Geez, thanks for getting that stuck in my head.

I love See Emily Play. The lyrics rock. (sig)

"I dont like Mondays" Boomtown rats
"Are you trying hard to write it before you can read?" Status Quo
"I'm going crazy and im going today" Status Quo
"I fought the law and the law won" dont know who sang it originally, but i know Status Quo did
"There's a troubled wind a blowin' through my crazy life
I feel the chill begin, it's gonna be a long, long, long night
I hear the thunder roll but I don't fear the lightning strike
'Cause deep inside I know I'm gonna make it through alright

So let the walls come tumblin' down
Bring on the last sunset
I ain't moving to heartbreak town
The party ain't over yet
Yeah, let the devil do his worst
But don't take any bets
That life has finally quenched my thirst
The party ain't over yet
Not yet"

who by? Status Quo

Eleanor rigby was my one! Darn. I guess i'll have to go with "Lucy in the sky with diamonds", Joni Mitchell "My Old Man.".and...Bob Dylan, "Mr. Tambourine Man."


"Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you."

Bob Dylan is a musical Genius. And Jewish. w00t.

Ooh, this is one of those total rock-out songs...but you don't realize how awesome it is until you read the lyrics.

"Boxed up
all of her favorite things
sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
big plans and leaving friends at the
Westbound Sign
weighed out
her choices on the scale
prevailing nothing made sense
just transportation and a
blank decision...

She's takin' off...
Takin' off...
Takin' off...

no time, and no copping out
she's burning daylight and petrol
blacked out the rearview mirror and westward on
strung out
on Confusion Road
and ten-minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought and she's determined...

she's takin' off...
takin' off...
takin' off...

is it salvation or an escape from discontent?
will she find her name in the California cement?
punched down in the grind that punched her once too many times...
is tragedy 2,000 miles away?"

-(who else? ) Green Day!
*nostalgic sigh* Just another reminder what killer songwriters they are...

AHHHH!!

Like...ohmygod...I FORGOT THE BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!

It started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Was sneakin' through
Her bedroom door
To find something in a size one...

Sugar! Spice! And everythin' nice wasn't meant for only girls!
GI Joe in panty hose is makin' room for the one and only...
KING FOR A DAY!
Princess by dawn
KING FOR A DAY!
In a leather thong
KING FOR A DAY!
Princess by dawn

Just wait 'till all the guys get a load of me...

My daddy took me to therapy
He says he thinks I'm not a re-allllll man
Who put the 'drag' in the 'drag queen'
Don't get it 'till you've tried it...

Sugar! Spice! And everythin' nice wasn't meant for only girls...
GI Joe in panty hose is makin' room for the one and only

KING FOR A DAY!
Princess by dawn
KING FOR A DAY!
In a leather thong
KING FOR A DAY!
Princess by dawn

Just wait 'till all the guys get a load of me...

YAY!!!!

Green Day rocks...

yoha ahoy: my sister LOVES Superchick. we saw them at aquire the fire back in february. they have good stage preformance even though i don't really like them.


Atomic Number 50

verse one
your heart's an achor so afraid to leave
your heart is anger so afraid of defeat
atomic number 50 never burns out
obligation is your number one doubt

chorus
under the table you hide your cards
at the end of the game we find out who you are
a beautiful face begins to peel
how does it feel to be made of steel?

verse two
your mind's a machine operating for a cause
your mind is between winning and getting caught
look up to find you but you're on your way back down
like gravity always ending on the ground

bridge
you're in a corner with a center fold
you're a foreigner with a heart of cold
you're at a table with a hand of spades
but what from this do you gain?

outro
atomic number 50 never burns out

Song 2 by Blur

*head bangs*

Wohoo!
Wohoo!
Wohoo!
Wohoo!

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn’t easy
But nothing is, no

Wohoo!
When I feel heavy metal
Wohoo!
And I’m pins and I’m needles
Wohoo!
Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you

I got my head done
When I was young
It’s not my problem
It’s not my problem

Wohoo!
When I feel heavy metal
Wohoo!
And I’m pins and I’m needles
Wohoo!
Well I lie and I’m easy
All of the time but I’m never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah

Teenage Kicks by Undertones

In memory of John Peel, RIP

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat
Everytime she walks down the street
Another girl in the neighbourhood
Wish she was mine, she looks so good

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I'm gonna call her on the telephone
Have her over 'cause i'm all alone
I need excitement oh i need it bad
And she's the best, i've ever had

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

I wanna hold you wanna hold you tight
Get teenage kicks right through the night

WOOOHOOOO!

WHEN I'M FEELING HEAVY METAL!

Greatest song in like, ever...

The Judge's Daughter-

Princess in a schoolgirl's dream,
may I please speak to you?
I'm having troubles with control
and it's all because of you!
Today I kept on falling on
(I thought it was the street)
So I looked down at my shoes
They were on the wrong feet...

And I find it hard to be myself,
so can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health;
you're the one to blame.
You're the one I wish I had and now my girlfriend's getting mad...
I can't call this sane, I can't call this sane!

Today as I was walking down
you bumped into me
said 'excuse me' and walked away
as I jumped to my knees
Prayed to the being in the sky that my parents told me of
asked aboutcha but no reply, no clues about your love...

And I find it hard to be myself,
so can you please explain?
And I do not think that it's my health
and you're the one to blame...
My girlfriend left me on the phone; I'm pathetically left here alone
I can't call this sane, I can't call this sane...

Can we find a way?
So that you can stay?
I think I'm gonna pop...

(twenty points to whoever can guess the band )


Ooh! Two in one!

"Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
does she know?
before she went away
does she know?
but it's too damn late..."

I can press two rants into one here:


1) Green Day rocks because the lyrics are so awesome. I don't even think 50 Bucks or whatever his name is even knows what 'peculiar' means...

2) Popular music is crapola because: why complain about 'i ain't got no more druuuugs' when you could say it the cooler way (which always makes me crack up) 'this is, as it seems, the last of the dope?'

In conclusion:

Popular Music: Ick
Old Green Day Stuff: Gooood.
