I don't want to lose you

hedwig and the angry inch~angry inch

My sex change operation got botched
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I've got is a barbie doll crotch
I've got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch

I'm from the land where you still hear the cries
I had to get out, had to sever all ties
I changed my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I've got an angry inch
Angry inch

My mother made my tits outta clay
(tits of clay)
My boyfriend told me that he'd take me away
(tits of clay)
He dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch

Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch

Long story short!
Yeah, long story short
When I woke up from the operation I was bleeding down there
I was bleeding from the gash between my legs
It was my first day as a woman, already that time of the month
Two days later the hole closed up
You know... the wound healed and I was left
With a one inch mound of flesh
Where my penis used to be
Where my vagina never was
It was a one inch mound of flesh
With a scar running down it like a sidways grimace on an eyeless face
It was just a little bulge
It was an angry inch!!

Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming but I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I got an angry inch
angry inch
 
the smiths~london

Smoke
Lingers 'round your fingers
Train
Heave on - to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
Oh ...

You left
Your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But did you see Jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind ?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?

You left
Your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows
That when he goes
He really goes
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?

Optimistic-Skeeter Davis

How long is the river?
How deep is the sea?
How long is forever?
That's how long you'll love me

My heart is beating fast
I found true love at last
I'm so optimistic
I know this new love will last

How high is the mountain?
How far out of space?
How long could I hold you
in a lover's embrace?

Until the end of time
A love that's so divine
I'm so optimistic about
this new love of mine

the decemberists~sixteen military wives

Sixteen military wives
Thirty-two softly focused brightly colored eyes
Staring at the natural tan
Of thirty-two gently clenching wrinkled little hands
Seventeen company men
Out of which only twelve will make it back again
Seargeant sent a letter to five
Military wives, his tears drip down to ten little eye

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da

Fifteen celebrity mimes
Leaving their fifteen sorted wretched checkered lives
Will they find the solution in time
Using their fifteen pristine moderate liberal minds?

Eighteen academy chairs
Out of which only seven really even care
Doling out a garment to five
Celebrity mimes, they're humbly taken by surprise

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da

Fourteen cannibal kings
Wondering blindly what the dinner bell will bring
Fifteen celebrity mimes
Served on a leafy bed th sixteen military wives

Cheer them on to their rivals
Cause America can, and America can't say no
And America does, if America says it's so
It's so

And the anchorperson on TV goes...
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
La de da de da de-dadedade-da
 
tonight i'm yours~rod stewart

Yeah - I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been bored for a long
long time.
You need love and so do 1
let's turn it all around.

I don't want an everlasting thing
I don't care if I see you again.
So grab your coat and Honey
tell your friends
You won't be home
you won't be home
you won't be home.

Tonight I'm yours - do anything that you want me to

Don't hurt me
don't hurt me. Tonight I'm yours -
Do anything cause I want you to
just don't hurt me
Babe.

Yeah - I don't really wanna challenge you

Marry you or remember you.
I just wanna make love to you
For 24 hours or more
or more.

I'm only looking for a fantasy -
An interlude from reality.
Don't want nobody tryin' to rescue me

So rock me Babe
rock me Babe
rock me
rock me.

Tonight I'm yours - . . .

And tomorrow morning we won't cry

You go your way Honey
I go mine.
I'm the one who didn't waste your time -
Remember me this way.

And if you never see my face again
Think of me as a permanent friend -
The one that loved you like a hurricane
Then disappeared
disappeared
disappeared.

Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight I'm yours - . . .
Tonight you're mine
tonight you're mine

Do anything
do anything . . .
 
Who Knew - Pink

What I'm currently rocking out to:

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep

My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew

Who knew
 
hot hot heat~bandages

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages

These bandages cover more than scrapes, cuts and bruises from regrets and mistakes
I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
These bandages are anonymity
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been running and running
feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages

I've been hoping your moping around the street again
I've been tripping from sipping the dripping dirty water tap
I've been poking a voodoo doll that you do not know I made
For you, of you, let's see what needles do
I've been shaking from making an awful decision
I've been thinking I'm drinking too many drinks all by myself
I've been running and running
Feels like my head is spinning round and round, around, around, around, around, around

Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Up and down on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages on my legs and my arms from you
Bandages, bandages, bandages
Bandages, bandages, bandages

Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it's all under control
Don't worry now, don't worry now, don’t worry cause it will all turn around,
around, around, around, around, around, around, around

there's no other way~blur

You're taking the fun
Out of everything
Making me run
When I don't want to think
You're taking the fun
Out of everything
I don't want to think at all

There's no other way
There's no other way
All that you can do
Is watch them play

You're taking the fun
Out of everything
You're making it clear
When I don't want to think
You're taking me up
When I don't want to go up anymore
I'm just watching it all
 
the feeling~sewn

Give me the song and ill sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and ill say them like I mean it

Cause you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And God knows
You got me sewn

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah...

Danny boy, don’t be afraid, to shake that ass, and misbehave
Danny boy, I know you got time, but what are you waiting for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a windy day

But you may find the chance has passed you by;

I can't do the walk
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend

So give me the song and i'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and i'll say them like I mean it

Cause you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
And God knows
You've got me sewn

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah ...

Danny boy, don’t be a fool
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues may just wash away, if you wait for a rainy day
But you may find, the chance had passed you by

I cant do the walk
I cant do the talk
I cant be your friend
Unless I pretend

So give me the song and ill sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and ill say them like I mean it

Cause you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
and god konws you've got me sewn

Nah nah nah

silversun pickups~lazy eye

I've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment all my life
but it's not quite right

and this 'real'
it's impossible if possible
at who's blind word
so clear but so unheard

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this silence all night long
it's just a matter of time

to appear sad
with the same 'ol decent lazy eye
fixed to rest on you
aim free and so untrue

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine

everyone's so intimately rearranged
everyone can focus clearly with such shine

lost and loaded
still the same 'ol decent lazy eye
straight through your gaze
that's why i said i relate
i said we relate
it's so fun to relate

it's the room the sun and the sky
it's the room the sun and the sky

i've been waiting
i've been waiting for this moment...
 
tv on the radio~wolf like me

Say say my playmate
wont you lay hands on me
mirror my malady
transfer my tragedy

Got a curse i cannot lift
shines when the sunset shifts
when the moon is round and full
gotta bust that box gotta gut that fish

My mind's aflame

We could jet in a stolen car
but i bet we wouldnt get too far
before the transformation takes
and bloodlust tanks and
crave gets slaked

My mind has changed
my bodys frame but god i like it
my hearts aflame
my bodys strained but god i like it

My mind has changed
my bodys frame but god i like it
my hearts aflame
my bodys strained but god i like it

Charge me your day rate
ill turn you out in kind
when the moon is round and full
gonna teach you tricks that'll blow your
mongrel mind
baby doll i recognize
you're a hideous thing inside
if ever there were a lucky kind it's
you you you you

I know its strange another way to get to know you
you'll never know unless we go so let me show you
i know its strange another way to get to know you
we've got till noon here comes the moon
so let it show you
show you now

Dream me oh dreamer
down to the floor
open my hands and let them
weave onto yours

Feel me, completer
down to my core
open my heart and let it
bleed onto yours

Feeding on fever
down all fours
show you what all that
howl is for

Hey hey my playmate
let me lay waste to thee
burned down their hanging trees
it's hot here hot here hot here hot here

Got a curse we cannot lift
shines when the sunshine shifts
there's a cure comes with a kiss
the bite that binds the gift that gives

now that we got gone for good
writhing under your riding hood
tell your gra'ma and your mama too
it's true
we're howling forever
 
the lunachicks~jan brady

I am Jan Brady,
and you must believe that
or forever perish in your doubt
I am the soul embodiment of Jan,
and I exist to serve the Brady alter
for I have become one with another soul,
and I have no need for others!

Jan Brady has returned
took over my soul and body
then the hairstyle flew up all by itself
never to be changed
I am Jan, Jan I am
I like to eat green eggs and ham

so now you must believe and worship me
or else a lost soul you will be
I pick up my lunch from Alice our house keeper
I go to school with my Brady brothers
we live in the same house
but we come from different mothers!

I know I cracked the family picture with my bike
I was'nt wearing my glasses
but I fixed everything with a bat of my eye lashes
with my wig, I'll be a smash
polyester plaid bell bottoms,
I ain't no TRASH!!!!

muse~starlight

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

And hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

I just wanted to hold
 
the shins~phantom limb

Faols in coats,
White girls of the North,
Filed past, one five and one.
They are the fabled lambs,
A Sunday ham,
The ancient snow.

And they can float above the grass,
In circles if they tried,
A latent power I know they hide,
To keep some hope alive,
That a girl like I
Could ever try,
Could ever try.

So we just skirt the hallway signs,
A phantom and a fly,
Follow the lines and wonder why
There's no connection.

And weakened falling eyes,
In cheap shots from the tribe,

And we're often in Marcus’ porch again,
For another afternoon of the goat-head tunes,
And pilfered booze.

We wander through her mama's house,
The milk from the window lights,
Family portrait circa ninety-five,
This is that foreign land,
With the sprayed on tans,
And it all feels fine,
Be it silk or slime,

So, when they tap our mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too fall along in our crime,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.

So, when they tap our Mundane heads,
To zombie-walk in our stead,
This town seems hardly worth our time,
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme,
Too fall along in our crime,
Stepping over what now towers to the sky,
With no connection.
 
bloc party~i still remember

I, I still remember
how you looked that afternoon.
There was only you.

You said "it's just like a full moon".
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I've gone wherever you wanted

(I still remember)

And on that teachers' training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm

And I can see our days are becoming nights.
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass.
We should have run.
I would go with you anywhere.
I should have kissed you by the water

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I would let you if you asked me

I still remember
 
echo and the bunnymen~bring on the dancing horses

Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bring on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone

Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking

Your brittle heart

Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam

Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes

Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home

Bring on the headless horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while you're breaking
My brittle heart
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And our little heart
Goes

Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam
 
berlin~the metro

I'm alone sitting with my empty glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro

You wore white smiling as you took my hand
So removed we spoke of wintertime in France
Minutes passed with shallow words
Years have passed and still the hurt
I can see you now smiling as you pulled away

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
Riding on the metro

I remember a feeling coming over me
The soldier turned, then looked away
I remember hating you for loving me
Riding on the metro

I'm alone sitting with my broken glass
My four walls follow me through my past
I was on a Paris train I emerged in London rain
And you were waiting there swimming through apologies - sorry

I remember searching for the perfect words
I was hoping you might change your mind
I remember a soldier sleeping next to me
Riding on the metro
 
phantom planet~big brat

It was all his fault,
Introduced me to knowitall
And the cannibal
Oh, well...
By the time they started showing up,
I ran the risk of blowing up
These times, these times get tough
So if i stay we're going to see who's had enough
By the time i needed backing up,
Ya he was watching, cracking up
This time, this time it's tough
Well here I am and now and I think I've had enough
Stand back
Take that and that and that

You're always up to no good
Ya you're always up to no good

Well I was trapped in from all sides
Caught in a slew of massive lies
No, there is no escape, only flailing arms and bellyaches
When it all started coming down, tonight, or did you run and hide?
Well I guess that we all make mistakes, I guess I forgave you didn't I?
Stand back
You're such a big brat

Ya you're always up to no good
 
RIGHT THING TO DO

Theres nothin you can do to turn me away
Nothin anyone can say
Youre with me now and as long as you stay
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing

I know youve had some bad luck with ladies before
They drove you or you drove them crazy
But more important is I know youre the one and Im sure
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing

And it used to be for a while
That the river flowed right to my door
Making me just a little too free
But now the river doesnt seem to stop here anymore

Hold me in your hands like a bunch of flowers
Set me movin to your sweetest song
And I know what I think Ive known all along
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Lovin yous the right thing
Lovin yous the right thing to do
Is the right thing

Nothing you could ever do would turn me away from you
I love you now and I love you now
Even though youre ten thousand miles away
Ill love you tomorrow as I love you today
Im in love babe
Im in love with you babe.

Carly Simon

(Don't remember if I've posted this one before. But my other half is gone for a while. Hurry back!)

the cooper temple clause~homo sapiens

You can't overestimate the limits of aggression of an animal created in the image of God himself
You can't allow for subtle defects, there's no time of reflect, there's no time to cover your tracks
Its not a mistake to fear an animals own limited access,the plan just keeps without his hopes and dreams
such a cause of satisfaction, such a cause of action, search evaluate and destroy.

I am man, i'm a superstar, i shine so bright, a worldwide success
I said hammer it home, i'm a superstar, a glowing example of a dream come true.
I am a man, I'm a work of art, I'm fashioned in God's own image, I am holy and clean
I am a man, I'm a superstar, I shine so bright, a worldwide success

Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand
Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand

You cant underestimate the feeling of attraction of the animal in question to the marvel of what he's made
You can't escape the sense of pride, he's created a divide between, you'll suffer it to rain on his parade.

Don't even think about it, it's enough to read about it
Force an animal to circle and keep an eye on you should you decide to have a go and try to rattle his cage

I am a man, I'm a gift to the world, I wish I was born as civilised and set free
I am a man, I'm a market tool, the sell of the century of the bargain of a lifetime
Hammer it home, I'm a superstar, a glowing example of a dream come true

Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand
Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand


Havin' a ball just being a man
Livin' it up just being a man
It sure as hell rocks just being a man
There's nothin quite beats just being a man like being a man
 
the B~52's~Planet Claire

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
Faster than the speed of light

Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head

Some say she's from Mars
Or one of the seven stars
That shine after 3:30 in the morning
WELL SHE ISN'T

She came from Planet Claire
She came from Planet Claire
She came from Planet Claire
 
the fratellis~flathead

Just because she feeds me well
and she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
doesn't mean she's got eyes for me
she might just want my bones you see
hey flathead don't you get mean
she's the second best killer that I have ever seen
they don't come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to
it's just so wrong so very nice I told you
once and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the
club chewing on glass and a ticket stub
I heard they kicked the boy till he bled
then stood and said oh my god till she said
bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra...
everybody knows you're the one to call
when the girls get ugly at the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleeding nose
so taking it with her wherever she goes
hey flathead don't check me in
well hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
they don't come much more slick
than you I'd drive your car if you ask me to
said the boy's not right in the head
so he stood and got a kicking instead till she said
bara bap bara ra ra bara bap bara ra ra ra...
 
the cold war kids~hang me out to dry

Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
in the muck and the mire
Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
in the muck and the mire

fell asleep with stains
cake deep in the knees
what a pain

now hang me up to dry
you wrung me out
too too too many times
now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the whites
the whites of your eyes

all mixed up in the wash
hot water bleeding our colors
all mixed up in the wash
hot water bleeding our colors

now hang me up to dry
you wrung me out
too too too many times
now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white
the whites of your eyes
