Lyrics of the Day

19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones

You're the kind of person
You meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Centre of the crowd, talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs
Well it seems to me that you have seen
Too much in too few years
And though you try, you just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears

You better stop
And look around
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown

When you were a child
You were treated kind
But you were never brought up right
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
But still you cried all night
Your mother who neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax
And your father's still perfecting ways
Of making sealing wax

You better stop
And look around
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown

Oh, who's to blame?
That girl's just insane
Well nothing I don't seem to work
It only seems to make matters worse, oh please

You were still at school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind
On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind
But after a while I realised you were disarranging mine

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown
Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown...

Jesus of Suburbia - Green Day

Part 1 - Jesus of Suburbia

I'm the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
The Bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and ritalin
No-one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In the land of make believe
That don't believe in me

I get my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room, or my private womb
While the moms and Brad's are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes
And Mary Jane
To keep me insane
Doing someone elses cocaine

And there's nothing wrong with me
This is how I'm supposed to be
In the land of make believe
That don't believe in me

Part 2 - City of the Damned

At the center of the earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 where I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
'Cause everyone's heart
Doesn't beat the same
It's beating out of time

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No-one really seems to care

I read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn't say much
But it only confirmed that
The centre of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really care less

City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No-one really seems to care

Part 3 - I Don't Care

I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't
I don't care if you don't care
(x4)

I don't care

Everyone is so full of ****
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the middle east
We are the stories and disciples
Of the Jesus of Suburbia

Land of make believe
And it don't believe in me
Land of make believe
And it don't believe
And I don't care!
I don't care!
(x4)

Part 4 - Dearly Beloved

Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I can't remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that's in between insane and insecure

Oh therapy can you please fill the void?
Am I ******** or am I just overjoyed?
Nobody's perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and that's my best excuse

Part 5 - Tales of Another Broken Home

To live and not breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe

And I leave behind
This hurricane of ****ing lies

I lost my faith to this
This town that don't exist
So I run, I run away
To the lights of masochists

And I leave behind
This hurricane of ****ing lies
And I walked this line
A million and one ****ing times
But not this time

I don't feel any shame, I won't apologise
When there ain't nowhere you can go
Running away from the pain when you've been victimised
Tales from another broken home

You're leaving....
You're leaving....
You're leaving....
Ah you're leaving home....

The Dying of the Light - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

I keep on running but I can't get to the mountain
behind me lie the years that I mis-spent
and I've been sinking like a flower in the fountain
when all the love I'm gonna need is Heaven sent

Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
man, it makes me wanna cry

and I was told
the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
and it's alright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun

Woke up sleeping on a train that was bound for no-where
The echos that I could hear were all my own
The world had turned and I'd become a stranger
Got tired of watching all the flowers turn to stone

Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
man, it makes me wanna cry

Feel the cold against my shoulder
when it comes on in the winter
and it seems to last forever
and it makes me wanna
it makes me wanna cry

I was told
the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time
for getting old when we were young
and it's allright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun

Gonna try my best to get there
But I can't afford the bus fare
and the storm that's rolling over
man, it makes me wanna cry

When I was told
the streets were paved with gold
and there'd be no time for getting old when we were young
and it's allright
if you dance with me tonight
we'll fight the dying of the light and we'll catch the sun

Feel the cold against my shoulder
when it comes on in the winter
man, it makes me wanna cry

feel the cold against my shoulder
and it seems to last forever

and it makes me wanna
it makes me wanna cry

Sex and Drugs and Rock & Roll - Ian Dury and the Blockheads

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is all my brain and body need
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Are very good indeed

Keep your silly ways or throw them out the window
The wisdom of your ways, I've been there and I know
Lot's of other ways, what a jolly bad show
If all you ever do is business you don't like

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Is very good indeed

Every bit of clothing ought to make you pretty
You can cut the clothing, grey is such a pity
I should wear the clothing of Mr Walter Mitty
See my tailor, he's called Simon, I know it's going to fit

Here's a little piece of advice
You're quite welcome, it is free
Don't do anything that is cut price
You know what that'll make you be

They will take their tricky device
Trap you with the ordinary
Get your teeth into a small slice
The cake of liberty

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll

Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex and drugs and rock and roll
Sex, drugs, rock, roll, sex, drugs, rock, roll

Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart

Move yourself
You always live your life
Never thinking of the future
Prove yourself
You are the move you make
Take your chances win or loser

See yourself
You are the steps you take
You and you and that's the only way
Shake, shake yourself
You're every move you make
So the story goes

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Say you don't want to chance it
You've been hurt so before
Watch it now
The eagle in the sky
How he dancin' one and only

You, lose yourself
No not for pity's sake
There's no real reason to be lonely
Be yourself
Give your free will a chance
You've got to want to succeed

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart
After my own indecision they confused me so (owner of a lonely heart)
My love said never question your will at all
In the end you've gotta go (owner of a lonely heart)
Look before you leap
And don't you hesitate at all, no no
YOW!
Yow, yow, yow, yow, yow, YOW!

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart
Owner of a lonely heart (much better than a)
Owner of a broken heart
Owner of a lonely heart

Owner of a lonely heart
Sooner or later each conclusion will decide the lonely heart (owner of a lonely heart)
It will excite it will delight it will give a better start (owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Don't deceive your free will at all (owner of a lonely heart)
Don't deceive your free will at all
Just receive it
Just receive it (owner of a lonely heart)

Like A Monkey In A Zoo - Daniel Johnston

I'm chained to the wall
I have nothing at all
And my eyes look into the sunset
Thinking of better things to do
Like a monkey in a zoo

The days go so slow
I don't have no friends
Except all these people
Who want me to do tricks for them
Like a monkey in a zoo

And it could happen to you
You could be in my place
Not it wasn't always like this
But I never saw it coming

I'm so alone
But this is my home
And the bars that surround me
Keep me from knowing any better
Like a monkey in a zoo

Throw me a peanut
Laugh and make jokes
But I've had enough peanuts
And I'm ready to choke
Like a monkey in a zoo

I know it's my fault
But I want out
And when I cry out
Nobody seems to understand
Like a monkey in a zoo

You say I'm cute
You don't know how much that hurts
You don't know how it feels
To live in your own dirt
Like a monkey in a zoo

And it could happen to you
You could be in my place
Don't let yourself slip
Don't keep egg on your face

I used to be happy
I can't remember those days
But I sold my freedom
For free room and board
Like a monkey in a zoo

Bad Religion - Struck A Nerve

There's an old man on a city bus holding a candy cane
And it isn't even Christmas
He sees a note in the obituary
That his last friend has died

There's an infant clinging to his overweight mother in the cold
As they go to shop for cigarettes
And she spends her last dollar
For a bottle of vodka for tonight

And I guess it struck a nerve, like I had to squint my eyes
You can never get out of the line of sight
Like a barren winter day or a patch of unburned green
Like a tragic real dream, I guess it struck a nerve

Every day I wander in negative disposition as I'm bombarded by superlatives
Realizing very well that I am not alone
Introverted I look to tomorrow for salvation but I'm thinking altruistically
And a wave of overwhelming doubt turns me to stone

And I guess it struck a nerve, sent a murmur through my heart
We just haven't got time to crack the maze
Like a magic speeding clock or a cancer in our cells
A collision in the dark, I guess it struck a nerve

I try to close my eyes
But I cannot ignore the stimuli
If there's a purpose for us all, it remains a secret to me
Don't ask me to justify my life

'Cause I guess it struck a nerve, like I had to squint my eyes
You can never get out of the line of sight
Like a magic speeding clock or a cancer in our cells
A collision in the dark, I guess it struck a nerve

The Sailor Song - Toybox
So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Racing all around the seven seas
Chasing all the girls and making robberies
Causing panic everywhere we go
Party hearty on Titanic

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking, 'til the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Sailor man you really turn me on (Arr!)
Now the guys are gone, come let us get it on
Girls like me are pretty hard to find
So if you go I'll kick your Heine

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking, 'til the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

(Now, let's fight!)
(Ha, that's not a knife! THIS is a knife!)
(Aye!)

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking, 'til the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

(I'm king of the world!)
(Wow, this is great!)
(Yeah, baby, you can sail my ship!)

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Murderdolls - Motherf**ker, I Don't Care

I hate your voice and I hate your face
Exterminate you from the human race
Life's a joke and the joke is on you
Hey you, it's true, you suck, f**k you

I hope and pray every day
I'll get the news that you passed away
So take your life and turn it off
Goodbye, so long, get lost, f**k off
(Chorus)
I don't care, motherf**ker I don't care
I don't care motherf**ker

Suicide's the only choice for you
To see you dead would be a dream come true
Slit your wrist and show god who's boss
Goodbye, so long, get lost, f**k off

Why don't you do the whole world a favor
Connect your throat to the nearest razor
Or do you need it spelled out for you
Well, F. U. C. K. Y. O. U.
(Chorus)
(Lead: Tripp)
Motherf**ker, I don't care
Motherf**ker, I don't care
(Chorus)
(Lead: Joey)
F**k you, motherf**ker!
F**k you, motherf**ker!

Suzanne Vega - Luka

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am
Just don't ask me how I am

My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

They only hit until you cry
After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Just Like Honey - The Jesus and Mary Chain

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey
Just like honey

Everlong - Foo Fighters

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red
Out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head
Out of her head she sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say she sang

Breathe out
So I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head
Out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along wihth you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say she sang

"So Dad would take the Sunday's off,
And that's the only time he could ever get any rest
And so because we were loud on Sunday's
He'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, 'til we'd sleep
And they were really heavy boots and I used to say dad come on please
And like start crying, 'cause they're so heavy"

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

Green Day - Dirty Rotten Bastards

Calling all demons, this is the season
Next stop is therapy
We're the ******** and the broken hearted
The season of misery

Here's to the wasted, I can almost taste it
The rejects, the wastes of times
Gonna take it further, get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers ra da da di
The bottom-feeders frenzy
Here's to all bloodsuckers sing along with me
'Cause we don't say no
Scream one, two, three

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Hey

We're too old to be misbehaved
We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves
So we wait for this judgment day
Write me a letter and send it to my grave
Yeah

All ****ed up beyond intervention
**** the world this is my revolution
Long lost souls and living in cages
I'm on a bender it's one for the ages

I've got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Julianna homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Julianna homicide
Oh, won't you be my blushing bride?

I chopped me a line of my best friends ashes
Dust to dust when the red light flashes
What the **** does OK stand for?
When the afterlife is only worth dying for

I've got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Julianna homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Julianna homicide
Oh, won't you be my blushing bride?
Alright

Well, California's burning to the ground
And Julianna walks on holy ground
Where there's smoke there's fire burning out the lights
Cause California's burning down tonight
Tonight

Calling all demons, this is the season
Next stop is therapy
We're the ******** and the broken hearted
The season of misery

Here's to the wasted, I can almost taste it
The rejects, the wastes of times
Gonna take it further, get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

Here's to all God's losers ra da da di
The bottom-feeders frenzy
Here's to all bloodsuckers sing along with me
'Cause we don't say no
Scream one, two, three

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

We're carried away
Carried away
Carried away

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground - The White Stripes

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
When I know you're not around
Shiny tops and soda pops
When I hear your lips make a sound
When I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
Will tell you that I'm coming home
And I think I'm gonna stick around
For a while so you're not alone
For a while so you're not alone

If you can hear a piano fall
You can hear me coming down the hall
If I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I'd need to see at all
Don't think I'd need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give you what you give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs
Is a tiny little gift to me
Is a tiny little gift to me

I didn't feel bad 'til the sun went down
When I come home, no-one to wrap my arms around
Wrap my arms around

Any man with a microphone
Can tell you what he loves the most
And you know why you love at all
If you're thinking of the holy ghost
If you're thinking of the holy ghost
And you

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

It's been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me saying
"Get that together come back and see me"
Three days since the living room
I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
but it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits, you try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous,
you'll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air
and said "You're crazy"
Five days since you tackled me
I've still got the rug burns on both my knees
It's been three days since the afternoon
You realized it's not my fault
not a moment too soon
Yesterday you'd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait til you say you're sorry

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad
Tryin' hard not to smile though I feel bad
I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Can't understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

It's been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides
and said "I'm sorry"
Five days since I laughed at you and said
"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"
Three days since the living room
We realized we're both to blame,
but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
It'll still be two days till we say we're sorry
