Lyrics of the Day

[Beauts]

You Know I'm No Good - Amy Winehouse

Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt
You said "what did you do with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear men down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed with my ex boy
He's in a place but I can't get joy
Thinking of you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes
Fly out to meet you, chips and pitta
You say "when we're married" 'cause you're not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soap my feet
But then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug, and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first?

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
Yeah you know that I'm no good

Civil War - Guns 'N' Roses

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by our genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said 'peace could last forever'
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
It's not in your hands
When everybody's fighting for their promised land and

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
You're power hungry, selling soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Ow, oh no, no, no, no, no

Look at the shoes you're filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more

My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
You're power hungry, selling soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no

I don't need one more war

I don't need one more war
No, no, no, no uh-oh-uh, no uh-oh, uh no
What's so civil 'bout war anyway?

Blowin' In The Wind - Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears can one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Ben Platt - Words Fail

I never meant to make it such a mess
I never thought that it would go this far
So I just stand here sorry
Searching for something to say
Something to say
Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say

I guess I thought I could be part of this
I never had this kind of thing before
I never had that perfect girl
Who somehow could see the good part of me

I never had the dad who stuck it out
No corny jokes or baseball gloves
No mom who just was there
'Cause mom was all that she had to be

That's not a worthy explanation
I know there is none
Nothing can make sense of all these things I've done

Words fail, words fail
There's nothing I can say
Except sometimes, you see everything you wanted
And sometimes, you see everything you wish you had
And it's right there, right there, right there
In front of you
And you want to believe it's true
So you... make it true
And you think maybe everybody wants it
And needs it... a little bit... too

This was just a sad invention
It wasn't real, I know
But we were happy
I guess I couldn't let that go
I guess I couldn't give that up
I guess I wanted to believe
'Cause if I just believe
Then I don't have to see what's really there

No, I'd rather pretend I'm something better than
These broken parts
Pretend I'm something other than
This mess that I am
'Cause then I don't have to look at it
And no one gets to look at it
No, no one can really see

'Cause I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me
I never let them see the worst of me

'Cause what if everyone saw?
What if everyone knew?
Would they like what they saw?
Or would they hate it too?
Will I just keep on running away from what's true?

All I ever do is run
So how do I step in
Step into the sun?
Step into the sun

 

[Fraxinus]

Careful What You Wish For - Young Guns

End of days; I run red lights
Tryin' to outrun the afterlife
But I froze // see you standing in the cold

And now, we crash in a moment of passion
Yeah, we create, even if it's destruction
Oh, you inspire // me to get higher

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Don't ask for fire if you can't fan the flames

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Too much of Heaven can hurt like Hell

I sold my soul, I made a pact
With fingers crossed behind my back
I've lost all // of my self-control

Ooh, I know my walls are torn down in a second
Can't even find a way to learn a lesson
But it's the hard way // I let my heart break, yeah yeah yeah

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Don't ask for fire if you can't fan the flames

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Too much of Heaven can hurt like Hell

Hurts like Hell
Hurts like Hell

I sold my soul
I made a pact
With fingers crossed behind my back
Too much of Heaven can hurt like Hell
Too much of Heaven can hurt like Hell

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Don't ask for fire if you can't fan the flames

Careful what you wish for
There's no turning back
There's no escape
Devils and details
Too much of Heaven can hurt like Hell

It hurts like Hell

Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push up bra
Fallin' all over yourself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
With the birds I'll share this lonely view

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave goodbye to ma and pa 'cause

With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I'll share this lonely view

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause

With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

I make my living off the evening news.
Just give me something! Something I can use!
People love it when you lose. They love dirty laundry!

Well I could have been an actor, but I wound up here.
I just have to look good. I don't have to be clear.
Come and whisper in my ear "Give us dirty laundry!"

Kick em when they're up! Kick em when they're down!
Kick em when they're up! Kick em all around!

We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde comes on at five.
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye.
It's interesting when people die. Give us dirty laundry!

Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet?
You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet.
Get the widow on the set! We need dirty laundry!

Kick em when they're up! Kick em when they're down!
Kick em when they're up! Kick em all around!

You don't really need to find out what's going on.
We don't really need to know just how far it's gone.
Just leave well enough alone! Eat your dirty laundry!

Dirty little secrets.
Dirty little lies.
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie.
We love to cut you down to size. We love dirty laundry!

We can do the innuendo. We can dance and sing!
When all is said and done we haven't told you a thing
cuz WE ALL KNOW THAT CRAP IS KING! Give us dirty laundry!

- Don Henley "Dirty Laundry"

Strange Fruit - Billie Holiday

Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees

Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

 

[Castle]

Looking out on the road rushing under my wheels.
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
In sixty-five I was seventeen, running up one o' one.
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on.

Running on.
Running on empty!
Running on.
Running around!
Running on.
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive.
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive.
In sixty-nine I was twenty one and I called the road my own.
I don't know when that road turned on to the one I'm on.

Running on.
Running on empty!
Running on.
Running around!
Running on.
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.

Every one I know.
Everywhere I go.
People need some reason to believe.
I don't know about anyone but me!
If it takes all night.
It'll be alright.
If I can get you to smile before I leave!

Looking out on the road rushing under my wheels.
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels.
I look around at the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through.
Looking into their eyes I see them running to.

Running on.
Running on empty!
Running on.
Running around!
Running on.
Running into the sun but I'm running behind.

Honey, you really tempt me with the way you look so fine.
I wanna know who you are but I'm running behind.
Running on.
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find.
Running around!
Running into the sun but I'm running behind!

- Jackson Browne "Running on Empty"

You Can't Always Get What You Want - The Rolling Stones

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you find
You get what you need

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing 'we're gonna vent our frustrations
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty amp fuse'

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea Drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr Jimmy
And man did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda
My favourite flavour, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr Jimmy
And he said one word to me, and that was 'dead'

I said to him, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need, oh yeah, baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her bloodstained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

Crash This Train - Joshua James

I hope you find what you're looking for when it all comes down
I hope you find it painted black on the lips of your lover's frown
'Cause if it dies in cold, when the clouds start to roll
Is it then that your soul starts to bleed?

Have you ever seen the president that killed your wounded child?
Or the man that crashed your sister's plane claiming he was sent of God?
And when she died in your arms, late that night in the dark
Did you pray to your God to come home?

'Cause it aint fair to say that these tracks are the same
So God if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God if you can hear me, crash this train

Now a note to the President, and the government, and the judges of this place
We're still waiting for you to bring our troops home, clean up that mess you made
'Cause it smells of blood and honey across the Iraqi land
But it's so easy here to blind us with your 'united here we stand'

And it ain't hard to see that this country ain't free
So God if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God if you can hear me, crash this train

To the mothers and the fathers who done the best they could
Raising young'uns in a messed it up world, it ain't so understood
So I'll cover my eyes and my ears, pretend that love's the same
'Cause with one court's signature it all becomes erased

And it ain't so hard to tell
When it's love that we sell

So God if you can hear me, crash this train
Said God if you can hear me, crash this train
God if you can hear me, crash this train
I said God if you can hear me, crash this train

 

[Dizzi]

simple plan miss me when I'm gone

We're doing it

I look around me,
But all I seem to see,
Is people going no where,
Expecting sympathy

It's like we're going through the motions,
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration,
If life wont wait,
I guess it's up to me

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past,
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company well,
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Procrastination, running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating,
You wound up left for dead (left for dead)
Life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
And that won't happen to me

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past,
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company well,
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone, when I'm gone

Let's go!

Won't look back,
When I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this a hole behind me,
Gonna take what's mine tonight
Because every wasted day becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry,
Because life won't wait,
I guess it's up to you

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past,
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company well,
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Watching The Wheels - John Lennon

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When they I say that I'm okay they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
Well I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time? Boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

People asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Third Day of a Seven Day Binge - Marilyn Manson

We've only reached the third day of our seven day binge
And I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips
We've only reached the third day of our seven day binge
I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips

I can't decide if you're wearing me out or wearing me well
I just feel like I'm condemned to wear someone else's hell
We've only reached the third day of our seven day binge
I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips

I've got bullets, in the booth
Rather be your victim, than be with you
I've got bullets, in the booth
Rather be your victim, than be with you

I've done reached the third day of a seven day binge
I can already see your name disintegrating from my lips

I'd rather be your victim than be with you
I'd rather be your victim than be with you
