The Killer, Mr. Somethingofother (Mr. Bright Eyes?)

 

I walk along these hillsides

In the summer 'neath the sunshine

I am feathered by the moonlight

Falling down on me

 

I said

 

I walk along these hillsides

In the summer neath the sunshine

I am feathered by the moonlight

Falling down on me

 

I said

 

I will walk along these hillsides

In the summer neath the sunshine

I am feathered by the moonlight

Falling down on me

 

I said

 

I will walk along these hillsides

In the summer neath the sunshine

I am feathered by the moonlight

Counting Crows - "Murder of One"

 

Just stare into space

Picture my face in your hands

Live for each second without hesitation

And never forget I'm your man

 

Wait on me girl

Cry in the night if it helps

But more than ever I simply love you

More than I love life itself

"I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" --Elton John

 

I would like to visit you for a while

Get away and out of this city

Maybe I shouldn't have called, but someone had to be the first to break

We could go sit on your back porch, relax, talk about anything

It don't matter

I'll be courageous if you can pretend that you've forgiven me

...

So maybe I shouldn't have called

Was it too soon to tell

Oh, what the hell

It doesn't really matter

How do you redefine something that never really had a name?

Has your opinion changed?

...

'Cause I don't know you anymore

I don't recognize this place

The picture frames have changed, and so has your name

We don't talk much anymore

We keep running from the pain

But what I wouldn't give to see your face again

"I dont know you anymore" - Savage Garden :D love that song.

 

Well I went to bed in Memphis

And I woke up in Hollywood

I got a quarter in my pocket

And I'd call ya if I could

 

But I don't know why, I gotta fly...

 

I wanna rock and roll this party

I just wanna have some fun

I wanna leave you feeling breathless

Show you how the west was won

 

But I gotta fly, I gotta fly...

Oh, wow, Steve McQueen, Sheryl Crow. That's such a fun song!

 

Okay, I know that reads pretty corny (cornily? lol), but I swear it only sounded cute when I said it out loud... :fuming:

 

I can't say if this feeling coming over me is real

But I know it's something you can't steal

So I'll buy another problem to approach

Sell a virgin lie that can't be touched

...

I can't say if this unfriendly* subject should be dropped

But I know it's something you can't stop

So I'll buy another pickup line and sigh

And pretend that everything is all right

...

 

*orig. here fucking

 

:fuming:

Aww, shucks. :D I can't believe no one even cheated on that one! lol

 

So I Fall Again --Phantom Planet, way back in the day

 

 

Sun sets 'cross the ocean

Thousand miles from anywhere

My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen

And that sun act like she don't even care

 

Wind blows cold and you reach the top

Feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe

I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room

Got everybody but you tellin' me what to do

 

...

 

There's everybody but me to answer my prayers

'Til I saw an angel in a bathroom

She said she saw no one worth saving anywhere

Blind man on the corner said "It's simple

"Like flippin' a coin:

"Don't matter what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime"

 

...

 

I take a trip I catch a train I catch a plane

I got a ticket in my hand

And a fat man takes my money

And like cattle we all stand...

It has been over 48 hours, so...

 

See, you're the kinda person

That believes in makin' out once

Love 'em and leave 'em fast

I guess I must be dumb

'Cuz you had a pocket full of horses

Trojan and some of them used

But it was Saturday night

I guess that makes it all right

And you say what have I got to lose?

OK, I hope you all feel foolish for no getting mine. It was Little Red Corvette by Prince.

 

Say you stand by your man

Tell me something I don’t understand

You said you love me and that’s a fact

Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away

But my heartache’s in me till this day

 

Did you stand by me?

No, not at all

Did you stand by me?

No way

"Train in Vain"

 

I fucking LOVE that song.

 

2track's quick fact of the day: it was originally recorded just to be put on a flexi-disc for a British music mag (can't remember what one though...think it was NME)

 

keeping with a flexi-disc theme this one was covered by Biz Markie and put on a flexi for Grand Royale Magazine way back when...

 

Hey kids, shake it loose together

The spotlight's hitting something

That's been known to change the weather

We'll kill the fatted calf tonight

So stick around

You're gonna hear electric music

Solid walls of sound

OK, no Doors fans in the audience. That was The Unknown Soldier. Let's try a different decade. In a more perfect world, this could have been an anthem for a generation....

 

Darlin’ don’t you go and cut your hair

Do you think it’s gonna make him change?

I’m just a boy with a new haircut

And that’s a pretty nice haircut

Charge it like a puzzle, hit me wearin’ muzzles

Hesitate to die, look around, around, the second drummer’s drowned

His telephone is found

No bites on that one either, huh? It was Cut Your Hair by Pavement. Tsk tsk, I say. New lyrics...

 

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings

Of the bluebird as she sings.

The six o'clock alarm would never ring.

But it rings and I rise,

Wipe the sleep out of my eyes.

My shavin' razor's cold and it stings.
