Pink Floyd’s “One of My Turns”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
One of My Turns
“Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars?
[Film in background: “I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean to startle you!]
“This place is bigger than our apartment!
[Film: “Let me know when you’re entering a room”
“Yes sir!”]
“erm, Can I get a drink of water?
[Film: “I was wondering about …”]
“You want some, huh?”
[Film: “Yes”]
“Oh wow, look at this tub? Do you wanna take baaaath?”
[Film: “I’ll have to find out from Mrs. Bancroft what time she wants to meet us, for her main …”]
“What are watching?”
[Film: “If you’ll just let me know as soon as you can … Mrs Bancroft” “Mrs Bancroft …”]
“Hello?”
[Film: “I don’t understand …”]
“Are you feeling okay?…”
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.
Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You’ll find my favorite axe.
Don’t look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would’ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it’s time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
Motion City Soundtrack’s “Feel Like Rain”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
“Feel Like Rain”
in the lifeless corners of this empty frame.
Though we feel let down by the same old autumn breathing,
winter’s curse is just around the bend.
With our hands all tied to the blades of their design,
we are armed and ready to commit this crime.
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are, the way we’ve been for far too long.
From the falsest smile to the fear of death is why
the pain reminds us that we’re still alive.
With our hopes on hold and our lack of interest exposed,
all hands damage our determined eyes.
But the lines are drawn and the red begins to creep
its way from boredom toward apathy.
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are, the way we’ve been for far too long.
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are, the way we’ve been for far too long.
Say something, finally we’re alone.
Alright, is there anyone out there at all?
Say something, finally we’re alone.
How about a phone call now?
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are, the way we’ve been for far too long.
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are, the way we’ve been for far too long.
We love that game, but we never play
’cause we will lose, and we wanna stay
the way we are
And we feel like rain when the words all sound the same
As the curtain closes on another day.
Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
“The Beautiful People”
Don’t bother to resist, or I’ll beat you
It’s not your fault that you’re always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strongThe beautiful people, the beautiful people
It’s all relative to the size of your steeple
You can’t see the forest for the trees
You can’t smell your own shit on your knees
There’s no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That’s in your way
[Chorus:]
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it’s hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It’s hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It’s as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way,
Old-fashioned fascism will take it away
[Chorus]
There’s no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That’s in your way
The beautiful people
The beautiful people (aahh) [x4]
[Chorus x2]
The beautiful people [x8]
Foster the People’s “Helena Beat”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
It pulls you down before you know it
It’s gone and you’re dead again.
I’ve been in places and I won’t pretend
That I’d make it out just to fall on my head
Wake up strange and take the walk downstairs
Hit the pawn up on the corner and pay for my rent
You know that I could not believe my own truth
Just show them what I choose, got nothing to lose
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poisoned but I’ll hold on tight.
You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you’re lost in your head again.
You play the game but you kind of cut
’Cause you’re coming down hard and your joints are all stuck.
I tried to say that’s not the only way
I never knew if I could face myself to change.
You were pacing I was insecure.
Slip and fall, I got the calls from the prison I’ve been living in.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poisoned but I’ll hold on tight.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poisoned,
Took a sip of something poisoned, poisoned.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poisoned but I’ll hold on tight.
Yeah yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poisoned, took a sip of something poisoned, poisoned
Motion City Soundtrack’s “Perfect Teeth”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory I fail to question why
With perfect sound you bring me down hey I’m not listening
You’re through killing me with all your facts and late night therapy
Like “Paul’s Boutique” on empty streets parked and
Waiting for lights to turn on for the good luck
And drunk on your parents’ favorite wine
All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T’s
Like air guitar in muscle cars with “perfect teeth”
The way we are
Back in ’95 more def than alive
I wrote the screenplay to lack of direction
Late night movie “dates” with girls who skate and I just can’t relate
I’m through with school ’cause I broke the rules
Now I work for the man and I’m drunk once again
Watching reruns of night court on cable TV
All the things I remember
Were they worth writing down
Bury me in memories of CK1 and tight white T’s
Like air guitar in muscle cars with “perfect teeth”
The way we are
Wake up, thought that everybody loved me
Wake up, thought that everybody cared
Wake up, thought that I might have the strength to carry on
Wake up, turns out that I’m barely barely holding on
Hey hey hey it’s been quite a long time
I I I don’t miss last November
Alright, yeah it’s time for a high-five
Hey hey hey it’s been quite a long time
Someday I fear I will be rescued from the boredom line
With lack of memory I fail to question why
Why?
Jack’s Mannequin’s “Dark Blue”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
Dark Blue
I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)
I don’t (don’t know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so
I’ll wait (I’ll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)
Pick us up off the floor
What did you possibly expect under this condition so
Slow down.. this night’s a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning ’til there’s nothing but dark blue..
Just dark blue
This flood (this flood) is slowly rising up swallowing the ground
Beneath my feet, Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so
I’ll swim (I’ll swim) as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down
And now all I can see are the planets in a row
Suggesting it’s best that I slow down
This night’s a perfect shade of
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning dark blue
We were boxing
We were boxing the stars
We were boxing (we were boxing)
You were swinging for Mars
And then the water reached the West Coast
And took the power lines (the power lines)
And it was me and you (this could last forever)
And the whole town under water
There was nothing we could do
It was dark blue
Dark blue (dark blue)
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning (burning) down
Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I’m here with you
I said the world could be burning now there’s nothing but dark blue
If you’ve ever been alone you’ll know dark blue
If you’ve ever been alone you’ll know (you’ll know)
A.F.I.’s “Love Like Winter”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
Here it’s December,
Everyday. [small girlish echo:] I like thatPress your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you’ll stay. [distant:] love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my warmth,
From years before, from years before.
She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said “It seems you’re somewhere, far away” to his face.
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my warmth,
From years before, from years before.
Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.
Winter.
Three, four
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my warmth,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.
The Goo Goo Dolls’ “Acoustic #3”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
“Acoustic #3”
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knewAnd I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all this screaming?
No one’s listening anyway
Your voice is small and fading
And you’re hiding here alone
And your mother loves your father
Cuz she’s got nowhere to go
And she wonders where these dreams go
Cuz the world got in her way
What’s the point in ever trying?
Nothing’s changing anyway
They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you’re falling anyway
And you know I see right through you
Cuz the world gets in your way
What’s the point in all this screaming?
You’re not listening anyway
Fair to Midland’s “The Greener Grass”
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
The Greener Grass
When you cry
Try not to smile
You could fill up a lake
With the tears of a crocodile
We were too young
To be eating crow
As if I would know
(I’m scared)
11 hours till the electric arcs
(I’m scared)
Send scorches through the sky
(I’m scared)
Than the whole earth opens wide
And I cannot wait for the earthquake
That buries us in a warm grave
The one-legged race, on our last leg
The will is yours, so just take it
The will is yours
I’d rather find jesus outside of a book
The same thing goes for robin hood
Never darken my door again
If opportunity knocks, let’s make him beg
Let’s make him beg
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now
Oh, where did you go?
Bring a match while you feather your nest
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now
You could fill up a lake
With the tears of a crocodile
You lead by the nose and always get lost
(I cannot wait for the earthquake)
We always get lost
(to bury me in a cold grave)
Get outta this town
Hatchet men yelling timber
Will get us chopped down
Get outta this hell
Off this rusted train track
You still take lying down
So swing us around
While you’re armed to the tooth
Keep yourself in the dark
Of some deep cobalt blue
So swing us around
By the skin of your teeth
Writing us off in invisible ink
So swing us around
While you’re armed to the tooth
Keep yourself in the dark
Of some deep cobalt blue
So swing us around
By the skin of your teeth
Writing us off in invisible ink
You can still find me
Between devils and deep blue seas
In the desert’s hands
On a sheet of sand
A dry tidal wave
Over my feet of clay
On unfinished glass
Looking for greener grass
Trying to make the welkin ring
But all my sounds are boomerangs
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise I will kill you right now
Oh, where did you go?
Bring a match while you feather your nest
Yeah, where did you go?
I promise you I will kill you right now
Not today, not again
Dress it up in stolen silver and garbage
Passion Pit’s Moth Wings
by aaron on Oct.18, 2013, under Lyrics I Love
“Moth’s Wings”
Your flowers are withering
Your mother’s gone insane
Your leaves have drifted away
But the clouds are clearing up
And I’ve come reveling
Burning incandescently
Like a bastard on the burning sea
You’re just like your father
Buried deep under the water
You’re resting on your laurels
And stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground
You come beating like moth’s wings
Spastic and violently
Whipping me into a storm
Shaking me down to the core
But you run away from me
And you left me shimmering
Like diamond wedding rings
Spinning dizzily down on the floor
You’re just like your father
Buried deep under the water
You’re resting on your laurels
And stepping on my toes
Whose side are you on?
What side is this anyway?
Put down your sword and crown
Come lay with me on the ground
