man I love her voice :cool:

she is fuckin wicked, i love stevie :cool:

this song is :D...

I know there's nothing to say
Someone has taken my place
When times go bad
When times go rough
Won't you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff
I know I got nothin' on you
I know there's nothing to do
When times go bad
And you can't get enough
Won't you lay me down in the tall grass
And let me do my stuff
One thing I think you should know
I ain't gonna miss you when you go
Been down so long
I've been tossed around enough
Couldn't you just
Let me go down and do my stuff
I know you're hopin' to find
Someone who's gonna give you piece of mind
When times go bad
when times go rough
Won't you lay me down in tall grass
And let me do my stuff
I'm just second hand news
I'm just second hand news
 
you like ian brown?

I love to see you free and dancing
You are my angel and my plaything
You move in ways that set my heart ablaze
It`s you who puts my soul in ecstacy

You are my angel and my plaything
Your motion I find so entrancing
Shall I stand next to your fire?
Smoke rings rise higher and higher
You are my angel and my plaything

If I`m your rose you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I`m your rose you are my sun and rain

In the heat of the night in the light of the day as is given can also be taken taken away
In the heat of the night in the light of the day I remove anything that can stand in our way
I`ll be your rose that sets your heart ablaze

If I`m your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I`m your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights will shine again and again
If I`m your rose, you are my sun and rain
 
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
and settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its demands
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Undignified and lame

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned

Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
To tie us down
 
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms
 
All the peacock people left the plumes in a pile
They look good to a fault
And the Gulf water's warm like a bathtub
Full of lavender and epsom salt

See a bleach blond boy put his long board down
Help his girl get her sunscreen on
I thought about you in your little house
Think you're lonely but I could be wrong and...

I wanna be your bootlegger
Wanna mix you up something strange
Braid your hair like a sister
Maim you like a hurricane

Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad, oh
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
He's gonna do it by hand, he's gonna do it by hand

Now they drive the cars up and down the beach
It's ridiculous and everybody knows
Hear the Mustangs rev at the four way stop
You get ghosted when the light says go

But in a town like this, in the checkered flag dawn
It's so empty you could make somebody dream
So maybe it's you, in your four-post bed
Fell asleep with still the blood in your teeth and...

I wanna be your happiness
I wanna be your common sense pain
Wrap your head in a picket fence
Rebuild after the hurricane

Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got my letters to deliver, but I'm still not mad
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a get-well-card to deliver
He's gonna do it by hand
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand

Oh
Right there, that's the postman sleeping in the sand
He's got a letter to deliver, but I can't stay mad, oh
Right there, that's the postman asleep in the sand
He's got a head stack now to deliver
He's wants to do it by hand
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it
He's gonna do it, he's gonna do it... by hand
 
A short delay,
The parrot blues
Little voices mimic you
It's not so hard to make that sound

So watch your back,
The Ides of March
Cut your hair like Joan of Arc
Disguise your will
They'll find you out

And when they do...
Look out

There's money lenders inside the temple
That circus tiger's gonna break your heart
Something so wild turned into paper
If I loved you, well that's my fault

A bitch in heat,
The alpha male
Not something she'd ever tell
Except when she got deathly high

And out it came,
Like summer rain
Washed the cars and everything
Felt clean for just a little while

A telethon...
We drove down

The starving children they ain't got no mother
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
If somebody would just take my call
Take my call
Take my call

Hello,
Patterns in my mind now moving slow
Sorrow all across the surface roads
Smoothing out the edges of the stone
The lights are out, where'd everybody go?
Alone

Erase yourself and you'll be free
Mendula destroyed by the sea
All we are is colored sand

So pay to ride the ferris wheel
Smile, all that you can feel
Is gratitude for what has been

Cause it did not...
Happen

There's money lenders inside the temple
That circus tiger's gonna break my heart
Something so wild turned into paper
If you loved me, then that's your fault

There's money lenders inside the temple
This crystal city's gonna fall apart
When all their power turns into vapor
If I miss you well that's my fault
That's my fault
That's my fault
 
i've just had the police on the phone.
i am making a proper statement on monday.


I still dream of algernon.
I wake up crying.
Youre making rain,
And youre just in reach,
When you and sleep escape me.

Youre like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark.
What made it special
Made it dangerous,
So I bury it
And forget.

But every time it rains,
Youre here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I dont know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.

I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I cant hide you
From the government.
Oh, god, daddy--
I wont forget,

cause every time it rains,
Youre here in my head,
Like the sun coming out--
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen.
And I dont know when,
But just saying it could even make it happen.

The suns coming out.
Your sons coming out.
 
There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour out a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
Can't add my name into the fight while I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
 
Milk Thistle, milk Thistle
Let me down slow
Help me go slow
I've been carrying on

I'm not scared of nothing
I'll go pound for pound
I keep death on my mind
Like a heavy crown

If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell
Like a little baby at the bottom of a well

Fair child, fair child
How are you man?
Did you fix that store front?
Did you start that band?

Don't be scared of nothing
You go pound for pound
You bring peace to midnight
Like a spotted owl

I'll be rooting for you like my favorite team
If somebody sweats you, you just point them out to me

All the sights and sounds
This little world's too crowded now
And there's only one way out

An elevator ride -
Through the tunnel, towards the light
And I'm nowhere bound
Keep going up and down
Up and down

Newspaper, newspaper
Can't take no more
You're here every morning
Waiting at my door

I'm just trying to kiss you
And you stab my eyes
Make me blue forever
Like an island sky

And I'm not pretending that it's all ok
Just let me have my coffee before you take away the day

Lazarus, Lazarus
Why all the tears?
Did your faithful chauffer
Just disappear?

What a lonesome feeling
To be waiting round
Like some washed up actress
In a tinsel town

Before the record I'd come pick you up
We'll head for the ocean
Just say when you've had enough

All the light and sound
This little world's too fragile now
And there's only one way out

But if you let me slide
I'll do my best to make things right
And I'm nowhere bound
Just going up and down
Up and down

Milk Thistle, milk Thistle
Let me down slow
Just help me go slow
I've been hurrying on

I was poised for greatness
I was down and out
I keep death at my heels
Like a bassett hound

If I go to heaven I'll be bored as hell
Like a crying baby at the bottom of a well
 
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

To pull my ribs apart
and let the sun inside

Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
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 blew the doors didn't we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn't we?

To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside

To pull my ribs apart
and let the sun inside


Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And all you have is kisses
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
all you have is kisses

We called that love
All you have is kisses
We called that love
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
And when the sunshine
Throwin' me a lifeline
Finds it's way into my room
All I need is you

And all I need is you
 
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
 
Last of the men in hats hops off the coil
And a final scene unfolds inside
Deep in the rain of sparks behind his brow
Is a part replayed from a perfect day
Teaching her how to whistle like a boy
Love's first blush
Chorus
Is this making sense?
What am I trying to say?
Early evening June
This room and a radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final thoughts today
Switching off with you
All the clocks give in
And the traffic fades
And the insects like a neon choir
The instant fizz
Connection made
And the curtains sigh
In time
With you
Chorus 2
You, the only sense the world has ever made
Early evening June
This room and radio play
This I need to save
I choose my final scene today
Switching off
Ran to ground for a while there
But I came off pretty well
Chorus 3
You, the only sense the world has ever made
This I need to save
A simple trinket locked away
I choose my final scene today
Switching off with you

*blubs*
 
Grace under pressure
Cooling palm across my brow
Eyes of an angel
Lay me down

Grace under pressure
Cooling palm across my brow
Eyes of an angel
Lay me down

Grace under pressure
Cooling palm across my brow
Eyes of an angel
Lay me down

Grace under pressure
Cooling palm across my brow
Eyes of an angel
Lay me down

We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
We still believe in love so fuck you
 
We took our first pill when
The music was shit
I said "fuck dancing all night"
But then thats just what we did
It felt like flooooating
It felt like floating

Your body was warm when
I laid by your side
I said i'm glad i have found you
And i'm glad we're alive
It feels like floooating
It seems like floooating
It seems like floating

We laid by the river
We looked at the stars
I said "how tiny we are girl
How tiny we are!"
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
It feels like floating

A lifetime is short girl
And death is so long
I don't belive in no heaven
I just hope that i'm wrong
I hope we're floooating
I hope we're floating

Cause watching the world
I don't understand
It just makes much more sense with
My hand in your hand
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
It feels like floooating
 
Son what have you done?
you're caught by the river
you're coming undone
life you know it can't be so easy
but you can't just leave it
'cause you're not in control anymore
and you give it all away
would you give it all away now?
don't let it come apart
don't want to see you come apart
son what are you doing?
you learned a hard lesson
when you stood by the water
you and i were so full of love and hope
would you give it all up now?
would you give in just to spite them all?
and you give it all away
would you give it all away now?
don't let it come apart
don't want to see you come apart
cause you give it all away
and you give it all away now
don't let it come apart
don't want to see you come apart
lay i lay in the long grass
so many people
so many people pass
stay stay here and lie on back
get down in the cornfields
stay till we're caught at last
give it all away
give it all away now
don't let it come apart
don't want to see you come apart
and you give it all away
you give it all away now
don't let it come apart
don't want to see you come apart
and you give it all away
 
(self transcibed)
How much light can you waste in your lifetime
the sun will have to go
it's too big and it's too slow
Oh what's a cruel word
it's just a sound that's reflected through your ears into your brain
it's the meaning that gets changed

I (and?) know, what a waste,
to be lazy when you're young
to be lazy
At all at all at all

These filthy streets,
they've got middle aged ??
the city is a beak
on a bird which cannot fly
that marketing book and cheap cotton shirt
will get you off this bus
but will put you straight back on

(and?) know, what a waste,
to be lazy when you're young
to be lazy
At all at all at all

And I might as well tell you now
we all share the same terrible fate
and I might as well tell you now
your retirement will be too late

peace on earth and goodwill to fallen creatures
the sun will have to go
it's too big and it's too slow
 
(self transcibe)
Rest
forget about the faces,
and all the things I wasted
forget about whats true
It's the hardest thing to do

wake up
and still stay optimistic
and like I didn't miss it
and I didn't bruise
It's the hardest thing to do
the hardest thing to do
the hardest thing to do

ahh(?) it's true

existance can seem so very slight
can slip away one night
or else take many years to lose
and it's the hardest thing to do

Stick with this
inspite of all the odds
inspite of lack of god
inspite of what is true

It's the hardest thing to do
the hardest thing to do
the hardest thing to do

Ayeiiiiiii(thyyyy?) it's true

It's a long, long, long, long, long long
long
road
where it take me I don't know
Don't be afraid
don't be afraid to die

Liiiiiiiiiiiiet's try
let's try
lets try

the hardest thing to do
the hardest thing to do

iiiiiiiiiiiiii it's true
that's true
that's true
that's true
 
a fragrment of Jape - To the Sea for Tufty - v synchsystic re the other thread

today is the first of the rest of your life
you should pack up your bags and go wherever you like
you like
to go
 
Planned a show
Treasoned my roots
Ice cream snow
See you in June

Could have known
I would relive
Should have known
I would come see you

Your way she knows
And she knows she knows she knows

Colors show
After long
I should go
See you in June

Open your eyes - to these must I lie?
 
Oooh darling who needs love?
Who needs a heaven up above?
Who needs the clouds, in the sky, not I

Oooh darling who needs the rain?
Who needs somebody that can feel your pain?
Who needs the disappointment, of a telephone call, not I
No I don't need that at all, not I

I'm, tired of love
Yeah, sick of love
I've taken more than enough

Oooh darling who needs the night?
The sacred hours, the fading life
Who needs the morning, and the joy it brings, not I
I've got my mind on other things, not I

Oooh darling who needs joy?
Who needs a perfect girl or boy?
And who needs to draw, that person near, not I
Because they always disappear, not I

And you know, I'm, tired of love
Yeah
Yeah I'm, sick of love
Yeah
You give me more than enough

I'm gone!

Oooh darling who needs love?
Who needs a heaven up above?
Who needs all the arguments, who needs to be right, not I
But I just can't give up without a fight, not I
No I just can't give up without a fight, not I
No I just can't give up without a fight, not I
No no no not I
Ooh no no not I
 
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe that life can change
That youre not stuck in vain
Were not the same, were different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

And you know youre never sure
But youre sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe
Believe in the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe theres not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight

Well crucify the insincere tonight
Well make things right, well feel it all tonight
Well find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight
 
Oh one more drink and then I'll go
But there's one more thing I've got to know
Does he take you places that I don't?
What happened to the story that we wrote?

You just say you don't know, you don't know
Oh no you don't know, you don't know

Woo

Oh let's just get this whole thing straight
I don't wanna kidnap the truth and negotiate
Or miss the point aimed at you
Just wanna hear you say something that you believe to be true

But you say you don't know, you don't know
You just say you don't know, you don't know
What it feels like
What it feels like

And so I'll go before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces

Now I'm just waiting for something that might never come
If it's a million to one shot I'll make sure I'm the one
Seems that nothing is safe, except the truth turns to lies
Never figured it out, I found out why

So I'll go, yes I'll go
Yes I'll go, yes I'll go
Oh baby I'll go, oh yes I'll go
Yes I'll go, oh yes I'll go
Before I fall to pieces
Before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces
Yes I'll go before I fall to pieces
Ohhhhhhh Ohhh Ohhh
 
I can't stop this feeling I've got,
I know who I am and I know what I'm not,
I know where I've been and I know what I've lost
But I can't stop this feeling I've got
Wasn't I looking and havn't I heard
Didn't I see, didn't I learn
And I dont know what you mean to me
But I'm starting to think it's just a mystery

I can't stop this feeling I've got,
I know who I am and I know what I'm not,
I know where I've been and I know what I've lost
But I can't stop this feeling I've got
Wasn't I looking and havn't I heard
Didn't I see, didn't I learn

I may be right you may disagree
But im starting to think its just a mystery
Whatever it is its just a mystery

Ah you don't really look so easy
You spend a lifetime looking for someone
And then they come and you're just so uneasy
You get the feeling that if I dont come
Then there's one more story be on your way

I can't stop this feeling I've got,
I know who I am and I know what I'm not,
I know where I've been and I know what I've lost
But I can't stop this feeling I've got
Wasn't I looking and havn't I heard
Didn't I see, didn't I learn

The sky may fall, the sea may split
You may say that isn't it
I may be right you may disagree
Same old story same old me
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I'm starting to think it's just a mystery
I've got to admit it's just a mystery
 
He's just a local boy
Modelling for magazines
Nun-Chukka
Things are never quite as they seem
He's got throwing stars
He's got silver tops
Mama's grabbed her jewellery
Hidden in the bathroom
Calling the cops

Give me somewhere to go
Don't give me train rides
When the shops are all closed
Don't give me train rides

Never gave anyone the slightest notion
Never showed us that the call was cast
Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Your Motor's running way too fast

Now the Mallway's shuttered
Hanging in the afternoon
Drink a little Vodka
Picking up the old man
Rolling him 'round in her room

Give me somewhere to go
Don't give me train rides
When the shops are all closed
Don't give me train rides

Never gave anyone the slightest notion
Never showed us that the call was cast
Mama don't want you
Daddy don't want you
Your Motor's running way too fast
 
im listening to a bit of chaotic disorder from 80s lol
bob and the boys

bob geldoffs a wanker and midge is goin bald
they talk a load of bollox
cos there so fuckin old
geldoffs such a scruffy get
he never combes his hair
but im shaggin paula yates so i dont fuckinn care

ch

bollox to them all
there fuckin enormous
and i am very small

geldoffs such a wanker
and he wears a wankers hat
he makes less sense than i do
and im a fuckin pratt

class stuff creases me up everytime
 
I was hanging upside down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program and i couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse
And i don't want to slide into apathy
And i don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down, trying to wipe me out

Wipe me out

I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So i could excuse myself from humankind
'cause i don't want to be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down, just try and shut me out

Shut me out

Hold it in your head
Believe and make believe and make believe

I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance, waiting for time
And i don't want to slide into apathy and i don't
And i don't want to live in captivity
 
Well the drums rolled off in my forehead
and the guns went off in my chest
Remember carrying the baby for you
Crying in the wilderness
I lost track of my friends, I lost my kin
I cut them off as limbs
I drove out over the flatlands
hunting down you and him
The sky was big and empty
My chest filled to explode
I yelled my insides out at the sun
At the wide open road
it's a wide open road, it's a wide open road
How do you think it feels
sleeping by yourself?
when the one you love, the one you love
is with someone else
Then it's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
And now you can go any place
that you ever wanted to go
I wake up in the morning
thinking I'm still by your side
I reach out just to touch you
then I realise
It's a wide open road
It's a wide open road
