Coldplay - Fix You
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you |

Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you wanna scream and shout
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again from wherever they came
to fix you in
but always fear the city's finest follow right behind
You got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smoke illegal in every town
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun
Reigning its guiding light upon everyone
You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
F**king ought to stay the hell away from things you know nothing

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun don'-go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round
Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize |

We blew the doors didn't we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn't we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And when the sunshine
Throwin' me a lifeline
Finds it's way into my room
All I need is you
We called that love
All you have is kisses
And all I need is you |

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel
(one of the most blissfully absurdist and hauntingly beautiful songs I've ever heard)
What a beautiful face I have found
in this place
that is circling all round the sun what a beautiful
dream that could flash on the screen
in a blink of an eye
and be gone from me
soft and sweet
letme hold it close and keep it here with me
and one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the
aeroplane over the sea
but for now we are young
let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see
love to be
in the arms
of all I'm keeping here with me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
there is music that sounds from the street there
are lights in the clouds
Anna's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
soft and sweet
how the notes all bend and reach above
the trees
now how I remember you how
I would push my fingers through your mouth
to make those muscles move
that made your voice so smooth and sweet
and now we keep where we don't know
all secrets sleep in winter clothes
with one you loved so long ago
now he don't even know his name
what a beautiful face I
have found in this place that is circling all round
the sun and when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see
can't believe how strange it is
to be anything at all
PS-Bulsajo, bravo on the Flaming Lips citation, seriously |

Had we never come across the vastness of pavement,
The barrenness of waves and the grayness of the sea;
Never lost, or ne'er been misguided,
We'd have ne'er reached seas so shining --
Or come from out of a hansom in Camden to a bar in the basement,
While all the while it rained;
Or come around to the friendliest of faces,
Handsomest in ugly places --
Or come from out of the tunnels we dig in
To see that tunneling�s not living
And working doesn't work;
Or come to find that loving is labor,
Labor's life and life's forever --
Or come to see that keeping's not giving,
You get what you've given,
You get what you deserve;
And in the midst of all of the action,
Maybe only there found satisfaction...
Chasing sea-foam dreams around another dirty old town;
Parallel run streams toward the gray ocean from the green ground;
"Oed' und leer, das meer," but look beneath the glassy surface --
All the songs you hear: down there they have a purpose.
All in all, we cannot stop singing,
We cannot start sinking --
We swim until it ends.
They may kill, and we may we parted
But we will ne'er be broken-hearted. |

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break,
When The Levee Breaks I'll have no place to stay.
Mean old levee taught me to weep and moan,
Got what it takes to make a mountain man leave his home,
Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well.
Don't it make you feel bad
When you're tryin' to find your way home,
You don't know which way to go?
If you're goin' down South
They go no work to do
Cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
Now, cryin' won't help you, prayin' won't do you no good,
When the levee breaks, mama, you got to move.
All last night sat on the levee and moaned, Thinkin' about me baby and my happy home. |

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows |

Super Furry Animals - Juxtaposed with U
It's easy when you know how
To get along without Biff! Bang! Pow!
And if I see that you're fed up
I'll stop and give you a leg up
Over-priced unreal estate, surreal estate
The highest price they've hit to date
Creating new divides and tension
You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
This is a tale of two situations
Mutual appreciation
Away from narrow preconception
Avoiding conflict hypertension
Non-phobic word aerobic
This was my domain
'Til someone stole my name
You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)
Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)
Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)
Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)
You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you
(I wanna get juxtaposed with you)
Let's get juxtaposed |

BEWARE OF DARKNESS (George Harrison)
Watch out now,
Take care, beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you,
The pain that often mingles in your fingertips
Beware of darkness
Watch out now,
Take care, beware the thoughts that linger
Winding up inside your head
The hopelessness around you
In the dead of night
Beware of sadness
It can hit you, it can hurt you -
Make you sore and what is more,
That is not what you are here for
Watch out now, take care,
Beware of soft shoe shufflers
Dancing down the sidewalks,
As each unconscious sufferer
Wanders aimlessly
Beware of MAYA
Watch out now take care,
Beware of greedy leaders
They'll take you where you should not go,
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow -
Beware of darkness |

I once was a happy man of sound and stable mind,
Then my neighbor bought a dog.
He put a ribbon on its head to make it cute,
But it still looked like a Chihuahua.
He had me over to watch it sit and beg,
It bit my knee and made love to my leg.
Now it barks all the night and all of the day,
Whenever it's not peeing on my lawn.
I didn't get to sleep last night 'til very late,
The stupid dog barked and grrrrred.
I got up late for work and ran to catch the bus,
But I slipped on a turd.
I was certain it wasn't one of mine,
And that that dog had crossed over the line.
I wanted to exterminate it and all its kind,
From my lovely little suburb....
I'm gonna kill the dog next door, ain't gonna bark any more
'Cuz this is Judgment Day and the little runt has got to pay.
No more turds on my lawn, that stupid mutt will soon be gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog.
I see the little monster in my garden,
So I grab and ax and off I go.
And I try my best to get it,
All I do is sever my big toe.
My neighbor comes outside to calm me,
He says his dog and me should just be friends.
He puts his little pet in my forgiving hands...
Then it starts to bite so I strangle it with all my might,
Oh oh oh oh ooh.
I'm gonna kill the dog next door, ain't gonna bite any more
'Cuz it is Judgment Day and the little runt has got to pay.
No more turds on my lawn, that stupid mutt will soon be gone,
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that dog.
Now that stupid mutt's in doggy heaven,
I strangled it to death and now I'm free.
But my trouble ain't quite over,
My neighbor called the cops on me.
I end up at the police station,
Where I am told that I must pay,
A three-hundred dollar fine....
Wow, what a good value I think I'll kill my neighbor too,
Oh oh oh oh ooh.
I'm gonna kill the guy next door, won't call the cops anymore.
I never liked him anyway, three hundred isn't much to pay.
There are turds on my lawn,
They must be his, his dog is gone
Gonna kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill
Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill that guy |

I've always liked this tune and words.!!
S CLUB 7 LYRICS
"Bring It All Back"
Bring it all back now
Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Hold on to what you try to be
Your individuality
When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go
If people try to put you down
Just walk on by don't turn around
You only have to answer to yourself
Don't you know it's true what they say
That life, it ain't easy
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'
Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you
Na na na na..
Try not to worry 'bout a thing
Enjoy the good times life can bring
Keep it all inside you
Gotta let the feeling show
Imagination is the key
'Cos you are you're own destiny
You never should be lonely
When time is on your side
Don't you know it's true what they say
Things are sent to try you
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'
Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you
Na na na na..
Don't you know it's true what they say
Things happen for a reason
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'
Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you |
