Music I Like
"So ya Thought ya Might like to go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise!"
PINK FLOYD
Well howdy, and welcome to my music page! Whilst I have pretty ecletic musical tastes, they veer in a mainly alternative direction, if that makes sense! The essential criteria is a good lyric, really. I'm a sucker for lyrics. Here are a few of my faves :)
INME LYRICS "Her Mask"
I could cry, my time has come and I am stupid and forever sad,
Is it God telling me to go away,
Is it God telling me to leave this place,
But I thought I could combine with you,
And I need you all the time,
And I thought it was ok with you,
Her mask is in my dreams at night,
But I thought I could escape with you,
I could cry, my time has come and I am stupid and forever sad,
I could cry, my time has come and I am stupid forever,
You amaze me more than you could know,
And I need you all the time,
Laying stars you make me dream of bliss,
And I've loved you all the time
PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal PUFF,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.
OH PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on PUFF's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when PUFF roared out his name
OH, PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And PUFF that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
PUFF no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, PUFF could not be brave,
So PUFF that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave.
Oh! PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee,
PUFF, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
GREEN DAY
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
I hope you had the time of your life.
GOO GOO DOLLS :Iris
And I'd give up forever to touch you
And all I can taste is this moment
And I don't want the world to see me
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
And I don't want the world to see me
And I don't want the world to see me
And I don't want the world to see me
I just want you to know who I am
RADIOHEAD : Creep
When you were here before
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
I don't care if it hurts
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
She's running out again,
Whatever makes you happy
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
INDIGO GIRLS : Galileo
Galileo's head was on the block And then you had to bring up reincarnation How long till my soul gets it right And then I think about my fear of motion How long till my soul gets it right I'm not making a joke, you know me I offer thanks to those before me How long till my soul gets it right How long TORI AMOS : Leather
Look I'm standing naked before you
Oh god could it be the weather
I could just pretend that you love me
Oh god could it be the weather
I almost ran over an angel
Oh god could it be the weather
THIRD EYE BLIND :I Want You
I've seen suckers lose themselves
I want you.
Yeah you do . . . you make me want you.
I want you.
You do you do, you make me want you,
I want you,
And I can't get enough.
After we did it by the window sill,
Send me all your vampires,
I want you.
PUDDLE OF MUDD : Blurry (extract)
Everything’s so blurry
THIRD EYE BLIND : Narcolepsy ( extract)
I read dead Russian authors, volumes at a time,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND : The Devil Went Down To Georgia
The devil went down to Georgia
When he came across this young man
"I guess you didn't know it
"Now, you play pretty good fiddle, boy,
The boy said, "My name's Johnny,
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard,
The devil opened up his case
And he pulled the bow across the strings
When the devil finished, Johnny said,
Fire on the mountain. Run, boys, run.
The devil bowed his head
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back
.........THE CURE : Homesick ( extract)
I forget how to move
MANIC STREET PREACHERS :Design For Life
Libraries gave us power
I wish I had a bottle
We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
A design for life
I wish I had a bottle
We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
A design for life
We don't talk about love we only want to get drunk
A design for life
LENARD COHEN : Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
She's running out
She's run run run running out...
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special...
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.
the crime was looking up for truth
and as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth
over a couple of beers the other night
and now I'm serving time for mistakes
made by another in another lifetime
can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of galileo
king of night vision, king of insight
which I never could explain
some other fool across the ocean years ago
must have crashed his little airplane
can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of galileo
king of night vision, king of insight
I take everything so seriously
if we wait for the time till all souls get it right
then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation
in my lifetime I'm still not right
that's all I've got to say
'cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
now I have to pay
but then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
to let the next life off the hook
but she'll say "look what I had to overcome from my last life
I think I'll write a book"
can any human being ever reach the highest light
except for Galileo God rest his soul
(except for the resting soul of Galileo)
king of night vision, king of insight
(till my soul gets it right)
[til we reach the highest light]
how long
(till my soul gets it right)
[til we reach the highest light]
how long
Don't you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
He had a nice big fat cigar
"In a sense" he said "you're alone here
So if you jump you best jump far"
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god its all very clear
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
In the games they learn to play,
Children love to sing but their voices slowly fade away.
People always take a step away from what is true,
That's why I like you around,
An open invitation to the dance,
Happenstance set the vibe that we are in,
No apology because my urge is genuine,
And the mystery of your rhythm is so feminine.
Here I am and I want to take a hit
Of your scent and it bit,
So deep into my soul,
Send me all your vampires,
And I can't get enough,
And I can't get enough,
The village church yard
Is filled with bones weeping in the grave,
The silver lining of clouds
Shines on people Jesus couldn't save,
You want to know how deeply my soul goes,
Deeper than bones,
Smoke rings drift into the midnight sky,
Presently in the quilt that your mother made,
And a candle burns to fight off the gloom,
I said to live in this way is not for the meek,
But you talk real soft and kiss me on the cheek.
And like a jazz DJ you talk me into sleep,
There will be no regrets when the worms come.
And they shall surely come.
You do you do, I want you,
and everyone's so fake
everybody’s empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
my whole world surrounds you
I stumble and I crawl
& you could be my someone
you can be my scene
you know that I’ll protect you
from all of the obscene
I wonder what your doing
imagine where you are
there's oceans in between us
but that’s not very far
I write everything down except what's on my mind,
'Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound,
And then I know that I will never get back out,
And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink,
In a crowded room where the glasses clink,
And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep,
because that keeps me from falling asleep,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
How'd you like to be alone and drowning,
Still I find this narcolepsy slides,
Into another nightmare.
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
and he was willin' to make a deal
sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said,
"Boy, let me tell you what.
but I'm a fiddle player, too.
And if you'd care to take a dare,
I'll make a bet with you.
but give the devil his due.
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul,
'cause I think I'm better than you."
and it might be a sin,
but I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret,
'cause I'm the best that's ever been."
'cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul...
and he said, "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips
as he rosined up his bow.
and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in
and it sounded somethin' like this.
"Well, you're pretty good, old son,
but sit down in that chair right there
and let me show you how it's done."
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun.
Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough.
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no.
because he knew that he'd been beat.
And he laid that golden fiddle
on the ground at Johnny's feet.
if you ever want to try again.
'Cause I told you once, you son of a gun,
I'm the best that's ever been."
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a bloodstained sky
Oh, it was sweet and wild.
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity
Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
To show from where I came
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars
To show from where I came
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life
A design for life
A design for life
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life
A design for life
A design for...
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove
Dance me to the end of love
