You don't even like anything you like
Or the people you know
And all of your reasons to stay alive died
I dedicate this song to you
For all the desperate things you made me do
I'd like to beat you black and blue
For all the agony you have put me through

Savage Garden: Gunning Down Romance

Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain
In your brain
And feelings of aggression are the absence of the love drug in your veins
In your veins
Love come quickly
'Cause I feel my self-esteem is caving in
It's on the brim
Love come quickly
'Cause I don't think I can keep this monster in
It's in the skin

Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine
They're morphine
Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen
Rarely seen
Love I beg you
Lift me up into that privileged point of view
The world of two
Love don't leave me
'Cause I console myself that Hallmark cards are true
I really do

I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy

I'm gunning down romance
It never did a thing for me
But heartache and misery
Ain't nothing but a tragedy

Love don't leave me

Take these broken wings
I'm gonna to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I'm gunning down romance

Take these broken wings
I'm going to take these broken wings
And learn to fly
And learn to fly away
And learn to fly away

I'm gunning down romance
I'm gunning down romance
I'm gunning down romance
I'm gunning down romance

And one from Less Than Jake: All My Best Friends are Metalheads

Do you think it's strange,
That there's a way
Of how you look and, how you act, and how you think,
Pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you think its strange,
That there's a way
Of how you look and, how you act, and how you think,
Pretend they're not the same as you

Do you know about his
Strength and convictions?
Or how she puts all her
Faith in religion?

Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other?

Keep us from saying anything,
Can separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And your paranoid of every sound
Another friend you won't miss anyhow

Do you think its strange,

And your paranoid of every sound
(Paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound)

Found another one.

"Cuz it's a bittersweet symphony this life.
Tryin' makes ends meet, you're a slave to your money,
then you die." from Bittersweet Symphony, by The Verve

Dylan can really conjure pictures with words. My favorite part from Idiot Wind...

I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike
I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like.
There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door,
You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done, in the final end he won the wars
After losin' every battle.

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are
Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see stars.
You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.
One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes,
Blood on your saddle.

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb,
Blowing through the curtains in your room.
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,
You're an idiot, babe.
It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my heart.
Now everything's a little upside down, as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,
What's good is bad, what's bad is good, you'll find out when you reach the top
You're on the bottom.

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed, your eyes
don't look into mine.
The priest wore black on the seventh day and sat stone-faced while the building
burned.
I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime
turned Slowly into autumn.

NIKE. have you seen digimon the movie? that LTJ song is on their soundtrack, that is how i learned of them. <_<

Dope beastie t, nipple rings, and
New tattoos that claimed that he

Lord I pray, for a better day,
I'll be right down here looking for the sign.
But if things don't work out my way,
help me understand the grand design.

S'more Dylan. Jokerman this time...

You're a man of the mountains, you can walk on the clouds,
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister.
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care? Ain't nobody there would want to marry your sister.
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame,
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any name.

That's how I learned of them, too. Then I heard their remake of "I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)" and now wish I never heard of them.

No, wait, I lied. The best lyrics to any song are -

I'm just an old-fashioned girl, with an old-fashioned mind
I'm not sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kind
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

I'd like a plain simple car, a Celise Cadillac
Long enough to put a bowling alley in the back
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

I'd stay weaving at my loom, be no trouble to my groom
If he'll keep the piles of money mounting
In our cottage there will be a soundproof nursery
Not to wake the baby while I'm counting

I like the old-fashioned flowers, violets are for me
Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

I'm just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel,
Watch me in Las Vegas when I'm at the spinning wheel
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

I'll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs
Two apartment buildings that are labeled "Hers" and "Hers"
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

I like Chopin and Bizet, and the songs of yesterday
String quartets, and calm Venetian carols
But the music that excels is the sound of oil wells
As they slurp slurp slurp into the barrels

Our little home will be quaint as an old parasol
And instead of carpets I'll have money wall to wall
I want an old-fashioned house with an old-fashioned fence,
And an old-fashioned millionaire.

*joy*

"Bad girl drunk by six
Kissing someone else's lips
Smoked too many cigarettes today
I'm not happy when I act this way"

Now that I'm standing on my own
I'll remember the way that you changed me
I'll remember"

You are insatiable
Latex smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows you need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

Hard rock queens in ripped up jeans
Everyone thinks they're so obscene
Bend them over you get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

Evil boy still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel out your eyes
Take my advice
Blinded by fear, sugar and spice

We are all candy covered on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're frightened on the inside
We are all angry, angry on the outside
Peel away the shell and we're rotten on the inside

You are insatiable
Latex smile peels off your skull
Everyone knows you need a piece of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

Evil boy still the best
Peanut butter smeared on his chest
Get real close you'll get a taste of lollirot
Lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lolli lollirot

Currently the one I really dig:

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

And from the "I can't believe this shit sells" section:

You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la, la la, la la la la la la la la la
You make me wanna la la, la la la la

I can't believe that the axis turns
on suffering when you taste so good.

PJ Harvey- This Is Love.

The stars at night are big and bright
deep in your eyes Miss Vincent.
You told me once I made you smile.
We both know damn well I didn't.

Alkaline Trio- Queen of Pain

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms.
Words are very
unnecessary.
They can only do harm.

Depeche Mode- Enjoy the Silence.

I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists

Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed
Standing in the shadows at the end of my bed

The rats and children follow me out of town
The rats and children follow me out of their homes
Come on Kids

Drink up baby doll, are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind, 'cause it's all going off without you
'Scuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy
These mishaps, you bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

[Chorus]
So, let go, let go, jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for? It's all right.
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, l-let go, just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here, it's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives and then it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote, can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless pleasure, we've no time for later
Now you can't await, your own arrival
you've twenty seconds to comply

[Chorus]

[background sounds]

[Chorus]

In the breakdown
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
The breakdown

So amazing here
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Boy, I feel like an old geezer. I don't recognize half of these tunes. Here's some lines from Girl by T-Rex...

O Girl
Electric witch you are
Limp in society's ditch you are
Visually fine
Oh yes you are
But mentally dying
