i don't know how to be your friend~red kross

I looked at my face this morning
I just couldn't comb my hair
Ate two candy bars for breakfast
Guess I really didn't care
Had to force myself to wake up
I just had to start my day
Didn't want to leave my room
Didn't want to see the things out there

Hope this day won't last too long
Hope that nothing will go wrong
It doesn't take all that much
To bring me back down again

I don't know how to be your friend
I don't know how to be your friend
I don't know how to be your friend

You say that we'll be together
Friends like us don't fade away
But it's been a year or so
I wonder now, where did you go?
I sit on my bed and wonder
Try to figure out my mood
Man, I really hate this morning
And I think I'm hating you

I think about the things that you said
When I felt bad
Did you keep me hanging around
Until you found it?
But you are not nice anymore
So why don't I just find the door
Oh, I-I-I don't know how to be your friend

I don't know how to be your friend....

speed racer~devo

I'm speed racer and I drive real fast
He's speed racer and he drives real fast
He's speed racer and he drives real fast
I drive real fast I'm gonna last

I'm a big pirate and I like to steal
He's a big pirate and he likes to steal
He's a big pirate and he likes to steal
I like to steal and I like to kill

Go go go speed racer
Go go go speed racer
Go go go speed racer
Go go go speed racer

I'm a Barbie doll but I got brains
She's a Barbie doll but she's got brains
I've got brains and I like sex
Lots of brains and she likes sex

I'm your doctor and here's the bill
He's your doctor and here's the bill
Doctor steel and here's the bill
He likes to steal so here's your bill

I'm speed racer and I drive real fast
I'm a big pirate and I like to steal
I'm a Barbie doll but I got brains
I'm your doctor and here's the bill

I drive real fast I'm gonna last
I like to drink and I like to kill
Lots of brains and I like sex
Like to steal here's your bill

David Bowie ~ Modern Love Lyrics

I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done [spoken]

I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

Never gonna fall for
Modern Love walks beside me
Modern Love walks on by
Modern Love gets me to the Church on Time
Church on Time terrifies me
Church on Time makes me party
Church on Time puts my trust in God and Man
God and Man no confessions
God and Man no religion
God and Man don't believe
in Modern Love

silversun pickups~substitution

There's a vulture perching right off screen
And it's bitter and whispers chaotic things
And it reached in quick ain't it worrying
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, stop listening

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

You're a marionette in the center of
All the twisting strings coming from above
It may seem too deep to recover from
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, just let it go

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
And now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

When the voices start spinning just be aware
I have brought enough stones for us to share
That one's grinning that one's burning, aim for the throat
Let him choke on the stones that we are to throw

It's the great downfall
Not the overthrow
If you shoot them down
It'll make you soar

When reactions turn into hurricanes
And the middle course seems a little tame
Whether full or empty it's all the same
It's so easy to see, everyone can agree, you're not to blame

I know you've heard it before
But then it wasn't enough
You don't wanna be held back from the substitution
I know you've seen this before
but now enough is too much
You don't wanna be set back when the substitution comes
I'm sorry

zero 7~swing

Thought you`d be forever the same
When did you become so easy to change?
Can`t like who i won`t
No that`s not true
I do know
Just can`t figure out how to pin down
There will be no unguarded kisses
Let go of my hand when they`re around
They say i`m unsound
But what do they know?
They can`t figure out how to get down
Soon enough i won`t care
Stay in my arms if you dare
You can`t romanticize
They are crazy
Will only let you down
Try to figure out how to keep you down
They`re all alone
I will keep you down

florence and the machine~hurricane drunk

No walls can keep me protected,
No sleet - nothing between me and the rain.
And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane.
I'm going to blow myself away

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse

No home, don't want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you can't hold me down, 'cause I belong to the hurricane
It's going to blow this all away

I hope that you see me, 'cause I'm staring at you
But when you look over, you look right through
Then you lean and kiss her on the head
And I never felt so alive and so dead

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
I'm going out

queens of the stone age~hangin tree

Would you like our way home
I bleed my own

Round the hangin tree
Swayin in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swayin

Can you see under my thumb
There you are

Round the hangin tree
Swing in the breeze
In the summer sun
As we two are one
Swing

kiss with a fist~florence and the machine

you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate
over my head
then i set fire to our bed

you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate
over my head
then i set fire to our bed

My black eye casts no shadow
your red eye sees no pain
your slaps don't stick
your kicks don't hit
so we remain the same
blood sticks and
sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss with a fist is better than none

broke your jaw once before spilt your blood upon the floor
you broke my leg in return
sit back and watch the bed burn
well love sticks sweat drips
break the lock if it don't fit
a kick in the teeth is good for some
a kiss with a fist is better than none
a-woah a kiss woth a fist is better than none

you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed

you hit me once
i hit you back
you gave a kick
i gave a slap
you smashed a plate over my head
then i set fire to our bed

Passion Pit~Little Secrets

When I came down the sun poured into me
I shook em up, the walls came crumbling
my fists kept trembling with these salty wounds
my stolen gold inside the emperors tomb
now baby wait looks like a lovely face
I built this cardboard neighborhoods disgrace
who let it said that you're my favorite sphere
within the confines of such chemistry

It's the way I see everything I need
It's the way to be

Let this be our little secrets
No one needs to know were feeling
Higher and higher and higher
Higher and higher and higher
But I feel alive and I feel it in me
Up and up I keep on coming
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
Higher ...

My face blew up at such a casual sight
this miracle is of ecstatic fright
they'll rush above me to oblivion
outlining white sidewalks with halogen
oh have you ever felt so god damn strong
how come it takes some people so damn long
he tried to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the seasons stains

Watch the basin drain
as your life lines wane
and you cant explain
as your friends complain
you've caused all this pain
and you proudly shame
your whole families name

Let this be our little secrets
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher
but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up i keep on coming ?
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

Mother i can tell what you've been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were wielding
and now ive hit the mark
staring at the dark
and i cannot help but ignore
the people staring at my scars

Let this be our little secret
no one needs to know were feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

but i feel alive and i feel it in me
up and up and keep on coming
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

glamorilla,
Thank you.
Mostly I sink into the lyrics here.
You've improved upon a great thread; in my humble opinion, by including the links to hear the music as well.

i like having a space with all the songs i want to listen to easily at my fingertips... especially in the case of more obscure artists and acts and those that i find inspiring.

ethyl meatplow above along with the red kross song are rare gems. i wish i could find a studio recording of "i don't know how to be your friend" but the only place i ever knew it to be was on an old jukebox at cbgb's back in the early 90's.

i've been desperately trying to find a song i used to hear at the old sound factory. simply the absolute best, most passionate dance song and all i have to go on are three words...

Joy Division ~ Love Will Tear Us Apart
Songwriters: Hook, Peter;Sumner, Bernard;Curtis, Ian Kevin;Morris, Stephen Paul Davi

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, again

Why is the bedroom so cold? Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives

Love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, again

Do you cry out in your sleep? All my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?

But love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, again
Love, love will tear us apart, again

Gosh yes. You've shared a superlative selection here. I have learnt a lot about artists I had no clue about thanks to you. I used to find bootlegs and other oddities from cdnow (before amazon got it) ..
I can't help it: What's the three?
