Stubborn Love - The Lumineers

She'll lie and steal and cheat, and beg you from her knees
Make you thinks she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't even care

When we were young, Oh, we did enough
When it got cold, Ooh, we bundled up
I can't be told, Ah Ah It can't be done

It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
Pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I wont leave until you come downstairs

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love [x2]
Keep your head up, keep your love

I don't blame ya dear for running like you did, all these years
I would do the same, your best believe
The highway signs say we're close, but I don't read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes

When we were young oh oh, we did enough
When it got cold, Ooh ooh we bundled up
I can't be told, Ah ah, can't be done

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love [x2]
Keep your head up, keep your love

Elena Siegman - 115

No one can see me
And I've lost all feel*ing
And I know I won't die alone
I'll stop you from breath*ing
And all your de*ceiv*ing
And this house is not my home

(No! )
No for*give*ness
(No! )
And the rea*son is I know I won't die alone
(I have re*turned)

And ev*ery*one dies
And ev*ery*one lies
They're wait*ing for the sec*ond com*ing again
Ev*ery*one tries to hold onto their lives
When no one's alive
(Bring me 115)

You stand for noth*ing and over*looked some*thing
I'll bring you down all on my own
I'm the end I can taste it
I'll jus*ti*fy ha*tred
I am the cho*sen one and left hand of all that's sa*cred

(No! )
No more for*give*ness
(No! )
I'll bring you death and pesti*lence
I'll bring you down on my own
(I have re*turned)

And ev*ery*thing dies
Look to the skies
To see the end of all cre*ation again
See with your eyes
My army of flies
When no one's alive
(Bring me 115)

I've lost all form and unity
Where has my life gone
I'll bring you doom that you can see
And bring you down to see you bleed.

And ev*ery*one dies
And ev*ery*one lies
They're wait*ing for the sec*ond com*ing again
Ev*ery*one tries to hold onto their lives
When no one's alive
(Bring me 115)
And ev*ery*thing dies
Look to the skies
To see the end of all cre*ation again
See with your eyes
My army of flies
When no one's alive
(Bring me 115)
And no*body cries
When ev*ery*one dies
And no one's alive
(Bring me 115)

No More

Don't talk
Just walk

Going nuts
Hate my guts

Get good grades
Another shove

Stop being a loser
Stop being in love

And why do I need these stupid glasses
I'd give my life to be

Anyone but me (yeah)
Anyone but me

I wanna be
Anyone but me (yeah)

This isn't home just a house
Broken door broken glass

Dad'll yell
Tune him out

He's drunk by now
He has to shout

Keep on walking
Just ignore

Just get to your room
And shut the door

Let me disappear
Or just be

Anywhere but here (yeah)
Anywhere but here

I wanna be

Everyday it's like a war and I'm losing it
I'm taking hits from every side, every side that there is

Everyday I feel the walls are closing in
When can I begin?

To get myself right out of this place

Anyone but me (I count the grass as it grows)
Anywhere but here (I go to sleep in my clothes)

The shoes don't fit
I am not what I am told (what do I hear?)
I am not what I've been sold (what do I take?)

I'm at the point of possibility (Who will I find?)
I can almost glimpse infinity (whatever sign, when is my time?)
I am not where I belong (Is it now?)

And I can see an open door
And I can't live like this no more

I can't live like this no more
I can't live like this no more

No no no no no no no no no more​

"Amy Hit the Atmosphere" - Counting Crows

If I could make it rain today
And wash away this sunny day down to the gutter
I would
Just to get a change of pace
Things are getting worse, but I feel a lot better
And that's all that really matters to me

Well, Amy hit the atmosphere
Caught herself a rocket ride out of this gutter
And she's never coming back, I fear
Anytime it rains she just feels a lot better
And that's all that really matters to me

We've waited so long
For someone to take us back home
It just takes so long
Meanwhile all the days go drifting away
And some of us sink like a stone
Waiting for mothers to come

There has to be a change, I'm sure
Today was just a day fading into another
And that can't be what a life is for
And anything she said, well, she feels a lot better
And that's all that really matters to me

We've waited so long
For someone to take us back home
It just takes so long
Meanwhile all the days go drifting away
And some of us sink like a stone
Waiting for mothers to come

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
All I really know is I wanna know
And all I really know is I don't wanna know

 

[Scuttle Buttin']

Ah, I love that song.

Ah, I love that song.

Because it's awesome!

Take It On The Run by REO Speedwagon


Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boy friend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down

But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind

You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

You’re thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again

You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around​

Can't sleep, might as well listen to some music.

Welcome Home by Coheed And Cambria

You could've been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would've endured my world

Well if you're just as I presumed
A whore in sheep's clothing
Fucking up all I do
And if so here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs

You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played martyr,
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep
But if you could just write me out
To neverless wonder... happy will I become
Be true that this is no option,
So with sin I condemn you
Demon play, demon out!

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs

One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
I'd do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
Before I hope you die​

 

[The_Spectre]

Because great songs are worth listening to again and again.

Radio Ga Ga by Queen


I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
(Radio)

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds -- invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh -- you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
(Radio)

All we hear is Radio ka ka
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!

We watch the shows -- we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
(Radio)

All we hear is Radio ka ka
Radio goo goo
Radio GaGa
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio GaGa
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio ga ga
Radio what's new?
Someone still loves you!

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour

I hate this part. It always hurts. And you always end up second guessing yourself.

I probably shouldn't like this song as much as I do, but it always makes me feel a bit better, especially when I sing it myself.

The Boy Falls From The Sky - Reeve Carney

You can change your mind
But you cannot change your heart
Your heart knows what you're hiding
Your heart knows where you are

I'd be myself if I knew who I'd become
You don't have to fly too high
To get too close to the sun

See the boy fall from the sky

You will always be in front of me
Even as I disappear from view
For I have done not a single thing
Without the thought of you

But no, not here, not now, no way
I'm not ready to give up the fight
If I can use a single thread to cross the sky
Then why is the eye of the needle
Still your heart tonight

See how the boy falls from the sky

The city conducts a symphony
I'll search through the trash for a melody
That might lead us back to dignity
In this junkyard of humanity
To let you go without regret
I will forever hold you always in my heart instead
Over the screams and the siren's wail
The only thing not up for sale
Our love is like lights on a midnight train
Hearts like thunder with no sign of rain
Lightening splits the sky, kisses your face
Yours is the sacrifice, yours is the grace
I hear your voice inside my head
I wil listen to nobody, not to no one else
From the bridge where we both stood and stole the view
I saw the you in me and the me in you
These are the threads that bind
The ones we have to weave
They will hold us true, I believe
I believe
Believe, believe, believe, believe
Believe, believe, believe

"Bukowski" - Modest Mouse

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
that every night turns out to be
A little more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Well we sat on the edge of the river,
the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
Who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
Here we go!

If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?

Went to bed and didn't see
why every day turns out to be
a little bit more like Bukowski.
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
But God who'd wanna be?
God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

Reach for the Sky by Social Distortion

When I was young I was invincible
I found myself not thinking twice
I never thought about no future
It's just a roll of the dice

But the day may come when you got something to lose
And just when you think you're done paying dues
You say to yourself "Dear, God What have I Done?"
And hope its not too late cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

Yesterday is history
And tomorrow is a mystery
But baby right now,
It's just about you and me

You can run you can hide
Just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky
ain't never gonna die
And I thank the Lord for the love that I have found
And hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come

So if you please take this moment
Try if you can to make it last
Don't think about no future
And just forget about the past
And make it last

Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never coming down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come
(reach for the sky I ain't never going down)
Reach for the sky cause tomorrow may never come​

Big Bad World One - Jonathan Coulton

All alone by the table of food,
In my wrinkled suit and my borrowed tie.
Only thinking of something to say
In the moment after the girl goes by.

Everyone else is having fun, or else pretending to.
I eat another crudite.

I quit, I'm done.
'Cause I don't think it's going to turn out okay.
It's no fair, it's no fun.
If every time it's going to end the same way,
Me: Zero. Big Bad World: One.

At the office, we're all having cake,
'Cause it's someone's birthday, I don't know who.
Got my plate and I'm scanning the room
And the only seat is right next to you.

I get the nod, the tiny smile that doesn't come with teeth.
Maybe you don't know who I am.

I quit, I'm done.
'Cause I don't think it's going to turn out okay.
It's no fair, it's no fun.
If every time it's going to end the same way,
Me: Zero. Big Bad World: One.

Staying inside,
Laying in bed,
Noticing something that's not there.
Follow my heart,
Follow my head,
I'll follow anything that might get me somewhere.

Catch her eye as she's pouring my coffee
And search my head for an opening line.
But I see by the look on her face
If I keep my mouth shut, I'll save some time.

What if the best that I can be just isn't good enough?
Isn't it better not to know?

I quit, I'm done.
'Cause I don't think it's going to turn out okay.
It's no fair, it's no fun.
If every time it's going to end the same way,
Me: Zero. Big Bad World: One.

You are- Punch Brothers

About a year from now I wake up
in the arms of who I want,
Without the need to hide our nakedness
in pure and holy thought,

but rather blessing thrice the shutters never closed,
the bed still made,
the early afternoon as morning "Mmm" as
"Hey, are you awake?"

You take my love and my lust,
cold clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom,
and lip-lock my body down.

You are, you are, you are to me like a very, very wild thing.
These are, these are to me like the games I played
before I heard they weren't safe
to play. You are to me like a very, very wild thing.

About a year from then I say "Goodnight!" and kiss, kiss, kiss the phone
to sleep the sleep of one who finally wouldn't rather sleep alone.

You take my love and my lust,
cold-clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom
and lip-lock my body down.

You are, you are, you are to me like a very, very wild thing.
These are, these are to me like the games I played
before I heard they weren't safe
to play. You are to me like a very, very wild thing.

You take my love and my lust,
cold-clock my mind out,
turn in my keys to the kingdom
and lip-lock my body down.
You churn my blood as it boils,
raise a cream,
and white-wash my fear away.
God, if I don't stop now I know
this won't be half of
what it's gonna take.

You are, you are, you are to me
like a very, very wild thing.

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

I heard this song today and like the words said, it lit the fuse inside my head. It embodies a lot of my recent struggles.

Shinedown - Sin With A Grin

Take a good look at agony
Force fed pass down
Time release
I'm inspired to find the liar
Black list X on the back
Of a soulfull man
I've got way's you understand
Look left, look right, but I'm
Behind you
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head

[Chorus]
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

Hangman
Standing on a twisted 2x4
Built your house, but forgot
To lock the door
I'm inside with two black eyes
I have not one shred of sympathy
I have no use for apologies
I'm inspired to find the liar
I never noticed, until I focused
On everything you did, you said,
You lit the fuse inside my head

[Chorus]
Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

Thank you for reminding me
Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me -

Of why I'm sick inside
Thank you for the venom, did
You think it would paralyze?
These scars I scratch, I tear
Are there under my skin
Where you've always been
Thank you for reminding me,
To sin with a grin

Sin with a grin [x3]

Sorrow by Bad Religion

Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
and all the sorrow in this world

Let me take you to the herding ground
where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
between a prideful father and his son

Will you guide me now for I can't see a reason
for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well then I do imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

When all soldiers lay their weapons down
or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us
from ourselves it's easy to imagine

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

There will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more

Yeah there will be (sorrow)
Yeah there will be (sorrow)
And there will be sorrow no more​

"Angeles" - Elliott Smith

Someone's always coming around here, trailing some new kill
Says I've seen your picture on a hundred dollar bill
And what's a game of chance to you, to him is one of real skill
So glad to meet you
Angeles
Picking up the ticket shows, there's money to be made
Go on and lose the gamble, that's the history of the trade
And you add up all the cards left to play to zero
And sign up with evil
Angeles
Don't start me trying now
'Cos I'm all over it
Angeles
I could make you satisfied in everything you do
All your secret wishes could right now be coming true
And be forever with my poison arms around you
No one's gonna fool around with us
No one's gonna fool around with us
So glad to meet you
Angeles

All Along the Watchtower - Bob Dylan, as covered by the Jimi Hendrix Experience


"There must be some kind of way out of here,"
Said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessman they drink my wine,
Plowman dig my earth
None will level on the line, nobody offered his word, hey"

"No reason to get excited,"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

"Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd"

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Look! I found my theme song!

Troublemaker- Olly Murs

You're a troublemaker
You're a troublemaker...
You ain't nothing but a troublemaker girl

You had me hooked again from the minute you sat down
The way you bite your lip
Got my head spinnin' around
After a drink or two
I was putty in your hands
I don't know if I have the strength to stand

Oh oh oh...
Trouble troublemaker. yeah
That's your middlename
Oh oh oh...
I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain
And I wanna know

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker!

It's like you're always there in the corners of my mind
I see a silhouette every time I close my eyes
There must be poison in those finger tips of yours
Cause I keep comin' back again for more

Oh oh oh...
Trouble troublemaker, yeah
That's your middlename
Oh oh oh...
I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain
And I wanna know

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker

Maybe I'm insane
Cause I keep doing the same damn thing
Thinking one day we gon' change
But you know just how to work that back
And make me forget my name
What the hell you do I won't remember
I'll be gone until November
And you'll show up again next summer, yeah!
Typical middle name is Prada
Fit you like a glove girl
I'm sick of the drama
You're a troublemaker
But damn girl it's like I love the trouble
And I can't even explain why

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack
Troublemaker

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad
Oh oh oh...
My mind keeps saying
Run as fast as you can
Troublemaker
I say I'm done but then you pull me back
Oh oh oh...
I swear you're giving me a heart attack

Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

This song kills me, Tess. We've lost so many dear friends in only a few years.

It's a happy ache, I'm glad to have had them in my life, but miss them awfully, sometimes.

I have a friend who plays this song for me, and I let myself be sad for a while. Thanks for posting it.

You're welcome. I'm sorry for the losses you've suffered - always thinking good thoughts for you.
