Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me

What would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?

I never said thank you for that,
now I'll never have a chance.


makes me cry that song :s

heres mine : (also makes me cry, but in a good way :) )

I can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
It's always you
In my big dreams
And you tell me that its over
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
and your restless
and im naked
you gotta get out
you cant stand to see me shakin
no
could u let me go?
i didnt think so
and you dont wanna be here in the future
so you say the presants just a pleasant interuption to the past
and you dont wanna look much closer
cause your afriad to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had
crashed
and it did
because of me

and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that your alone oh
and im sleeping in your living room
but we dont have much room to live

and i had these dreams in them i learned to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
and there was hope in me that I could take you there
but damnit you're so young
well i dont think i care
and if i hurt you
then im sorry
please dont think that this was easy

and then you bring me home
cause we both know what its like to be alone oh
and im dreaming in your living room
but we dont have much room to live

and konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesnt she look good
standing in her underware
and i was thinking
what i was thinkin
we've been drinkin and it doesnt get me anywhere
my konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that i could do was touch her long blond hair
and ive been thinkin
but it hurts me thinking
that these nights when we were drinking
no they never got us anywhere
no

this is because i can spell confusion with a 'K'
and i can like it
its to dying in anothers arms
and why i had to try it
its to jimmy eat world
and those nights in my car
when the first star you see
may not be a star
im not your star
isnt that what you said
what you thought this song meant

and if this is what it takes
just to lye with my mistakes
and live with what i did to you
all the hell i put you through
i always catch the clock
its 11:11
now you wanna talk
its not hard to dream
you'll always be my konstantine
my konstantine
they'll never hurt you like i do
no they'll never hurt you like i do
no,no,no, no, no, no, no, no

this is to a girl
who got into my head
with all the pretty things she did
hey
ya know
you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl
who got into my head
with all these NO SWEARING up things i did
hey
maybe
baby you could keep me up in bed
my konstanine

you spin around me like a dream
we played out on this movie screen
and i said
did u know i missed you(x7)
i miss you

and then you bring me home
and we go to sleep
but this time not alone
and i know
and you'll kiss me in your living room
i know
i know you miss me in your living room
cuz these nights i think
maybe that i miss you in my living room
but we dont have much room
i said does anybody need that room
because we all need a little more room
to live

my konstantine...

its a 9 minute song..

RAHH!

Dream Theater - The Mirror.

These are the first few lyrics from an awesome song basically about their drummer's struggle with alcohol, it personifies alcohol.

Temptation-
Why won't you leave me alone?
Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go

Self Control-
Don't turn your back on me now
When I need you the most

Constant pressure tests my will
My will or my won't
My Self Control escapes from me still...

I like the play on words in the last stanza with 'will', awesome stuff! :)

'She said "for worse or better will you stay with me?". He said "No, Oh! Theres too many girls I aint ever seen".
There's too many girls that hes never seen, just one boy living in her dreams. She looks so good he looks so mean, hes not gona be 18 forever.'

Massive Attack - Protection

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just running round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me for years
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way it should be
Now I can't change the way you feel
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I'll put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

Never really liked Protection as a track, album was a good one, I think Blue Lines and Mezzanine are definately the best out of the lot.

this is the first you spoke of it
in your black magic house in a cold damp attic
two windows stare at us like eyes
behind them december's dark early morning sky

and a couple of
dead trees
with their ornamental stars

i thought by now that i figured your head out
until now i thought i figured your body out

so please help me to understand
because i love you more than anyone

i wonder in what fields today
you're chasing dragonflies at play
my little lost girl
so far away

Soulfly & Slipknot - Jump The **** Up

4. Jumpda****up

[w/ Corey Taylor "#8" (Slipknot)]

Jumpda****up!

Mutha****a u don't understand
All my hate!
Mutha****a u don't understand
All my rage!
Mutha**** u don't understand
All my pain!
Mutha**** u don't understand...

You seem to sever all my frequencies
I'm tethered to your energies
And everything turns inside out
I can't be killed but I'm not too proud

Maybe you would like to peek through the curtain
At the same mistake you know you always make
But...all I really want to know is
Are you gonna lay the **** back down
Or jump da **** up?

Walking in da streets and looking at all this ****
I'm full of hate, don't **** with me
Walking in da streets and looking at all this ****
Open up your eyes and ****ing see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get da **** up, stand da **** up
Back da **** up

All this is making things a bit insane
And I don't care who stares or stays
The only thing that matters is
Will you reach out if you can't resist?

Maybe you don't give a **** for the rest of us
But if you do, the time is now, if it ever was
If you're gonna fight, whatcha gonna do?
Jump da **** up!

How dare you single out my honesty
Compare me to your travesties
I only want to see you fight
The darkness you wanna live your life by

And if you're gonna quit
I don't give a ****
What the ****, I'm a Mack truck
Are you gonna give up like a bitch
Or jump da **** up?

Walking in da streets and looking at all this ****
I'm full of hate, don't **** with me
Walking in da streets and looking at all this ****
Open up your eyes and ****ing see
We got the tribe against society
We got to fight the real enemy
Get da **** up, stand da **** up
Mutha****aaaaaaaarrggghhhh

I'm a self-destructive piece of ****
Smear me in
I don't owe you a goddamn thing
This life has never had the swing
I don't wanna be immortal or legend or anything
Cuz the longer I'm alive, the better off you'll be
Get ready for epitome, come on and pity me...
Will you kill me if I say please?

I'm the same old reasons not to try
What the hell
Beat to death with a shovel and a new smell
Come and get me, mom would never let me do it
I'm ruined, I don't want anything from you
Cuz I've got nothing left to prove, c'mon
My time, everything feels fine, goodbye
Killing frоm the inside

Maybe I'm not ready for this, and you know it.
Maybe I'm too scared to tell you what I'm really thinking
It's not fair to stay together because of regrets we might have.
I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I'm only trying to be completely honest.

So I guess this is the ending or a beautiful mistake.
And if we both agree that we shouldn't be together why does it hurt so much?
I feel like I lost my closest friend.
I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I hope you're happy and completely lonely.

There I am standing all alone on Sydney Harbor Bridge.
And you know I would jump into the ******* ocean if it meant I was truly capable of being satisfied.
Will I ever be?
Did I just give up the best thing I ever had?

I don't want to fall asleep alone, but do I want to wake up with you?
I hope you're happy and completely lonely.

All my favourite lyrics are by The Macc Lads and I can't repeat any on here.
However and edited brilliant lyric goes thus -

She said I was good looking, and looked a bit like George Michael
But she didn't want a *******, she was on her menstrual cycle,

You get the idea.


and she said she wanted me for ******* so i stabbed her erm..... lets not go there!.


and also


She wore big knickers and she worked at the sewage farm.
[Edited Out]
But after ten pints, she looked quite fit,

My favourite lyric of any given time can usually be found on my MSN message :)

My favourite of all time though is Want by Recoil...

I want to know how it'll end.
I want to be sure of what it'll cost.
I want to strangle the stars for all they promised me.
I want you to call me on your drug phone.
I want to keep you alive so there is always the possibility of murder later.
I want to be there when you learn the cost of desire.
I want you to understand that my malevolence is just a way to win
I want the name of the ruiner.
I want matches in case I have to suddenly burn.
I want you to know that being kind is overrated.
I want to write my secret across your sky.
I want to watch you lose control.
I want to watch you lose.
I want to know exactly what it's going to take.
I want to see you insert yourself into glory.
I want your touches to scar me so I'll know where you've been.
I want you to watch when I go down in flames.
I want a list of atrocities done in your name.
I want to reach my hand into the dark and feel what reaches back.
I want to remember when my nightmares were clearer.
I want to be there when your hot black rage rips wide open.
I want to taste my own kind.
I want to be wrapped in cold wet sheets to see if it's different on this side.
I want you to come on strong.
I want to leave you out in the cold.
I want the exact same thing... but different.
I want some soft drugs.. some soft, soft drugs.
I want to throw you.
I want you to know I know.
I want to know if you read me.
I want to swing with my eyes shut and see what I hit.
I want to know just how much you hate me so I can predict what you'll do.
I want you to know the wounds are self-inflicted.
I want a controlling interest.
I want to be somewhere beautiful when I die.
I want to be your secret hater.
I want to stop destroying you but I can't.
And I want and I want and I want.
And I will always be hungry.
And I want and I want and I want...

Underoath - Im content with losing:


Like I said
Leave your baggage at the back door
I'm leaving you the way I think it should be
We're always pulling into places that we can't back out of
Starting fights we can't talk our way out of them

How does it feel to be on the recieving end of this one?

I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down

I'll fantasize of being manic
And leaving us behind
In your eyes you were the one that tried

Acceptance is what holds us here
And you my dear are the one I fear tonight
We'll try just one more time

This is the moment that we all live for
Are you ready?

I'm half way there and it's all on me
This is what I get for wanting more
This is the way it has to be
Dancing on all these changes
So I walk around with this rope in my hand

So I'll tie it around and around
I'll tie me down

You can't see past my waving hands
Just running away again

You think so loud it hurts my ears...
I want to know how to get through this
Without choking up
I can't feel you
You're so far from me

I'm half way there and it's all on me

Box car racer - There is

This vacation's useless
These white pills aren't kind
I've given a lot of thought on this 13-hour drive
I miss the grinding concrete where we sat past 8 or 9
And slowly finished laughing in the glow of our headlights
I've given a lot of thought to the nights we use to have
The days have come and gone
Our lives went by so fast
I faintly remember breathing on your bedroom floor
Where i laid and told you, but you sweared you loved me more

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off pretend its all okay
That there someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Those notes you wrote me
I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that
loves a girl

Do you care if i don't know what to say
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
that There's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me

Do you care if i don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight, will you think of me
Will i shake this off, pretend its all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me
There is

Wow Easyworld (This thread has just restarted my love for Jo the bassist from Easyworld...How I still aim to marry her one day), and Encyclopedia mentioned in the same thread.....hmm as for me

Mae - Suspension

'Say anything, but say what you mean...Cause I'm caught in suspension'

Ryan Adams - New York, New York

'Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds, Of my wallet and it stayed pretty good, Still amazed I didn't lose it on the roof of the place, When I was drunk and I was thinking of you'

John Mayer - Bigger Than My Body

'Yes I'm grounded, got my wings clipped, Im surrounded by all this pavement...Guess I've circled, while I'm waiting for my fuse to dry'

John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth

'She looked out the window, rolling tiny balls of napkin paper...I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker'

Ah anything by John Mayer

Copeland - Coffee

'And if its not too late for coffee, I'll be at your place in 10...We'll hit that all night diner and then well see'

Far too many Easyworld songs to mention...Dav(e) Ford, is possibly one of the greatest songwriters of my generation, the one that stands out most though

'All my heroes went down fighting...So I get in every fight I can'

Five For Fighting - Superman

'I'm more than a bird, Im more than a plane...Im more than some pretty face beside a train, and it's not easy to be me'

These are just the ones I can grab from memory...although I may certainly be adding more at some near point
