Ha, that's definitely a relief.

The Fear You Won't Fall - Joshua Radin

Digging a hole and the walls are caving in
Behind me air's getting thin but I'm trying
I'm breathing in
Come find me

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way

And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall

It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way

And I miss you more than I should than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you

And I hate the phone
But I wish you'd call
Thought being alone
Was better than was better than

And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel this way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
Can't get my mind off of you

I only just recently gave the Caveman Nick a chance.. but I think I might fall in love with The Ship Song. Usually I'm not a lyrics-person but I like these:

The Ship Song by Nick Cave

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down.
We make a little history baby
Every time you come around.
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down.
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around.

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground.
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down.

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down.
We make a little history baby
Every time you come around.

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly.

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down.
We make a little history baby
Every time you come around.
Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down.
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around.

"Propaganda" - Some Velvet Morning

I know this ground beneath me
Is slipping away
I hear the message you're preaching
I try to escape

Oh, forgive me, if I'm not myself
Oh, forgive me, if I don't want your help

From experts and preachers,
From textbooks and teachers.
It's all propaganda
From tabloids and talkshows,
From billboards to god knows
It's just propaganda.

There's no time to count the civilian
There's work to be done.
For until these billions are trillions
Then war will go on.

Oh forgive me, if I deviate.
Oh forgive me, if I try to escape

The close up, the soundbite
The replay, the gunfight
It's all propaganda.
The tax cuts and think tanks,
The loopholes, the world bank..
Oh take a look around you,
It's all propaganda

Oh, forgive me if I deviate
Oh, forgive me if I try to escape

Away from this propaganda of
Illusion, confusion, delusion, intrusion
It's all propaganda.
From New York to Beijing
If we lose then they win.
From Big Macs to weight loss
From junkies to Kate Moss
From catwalks to blue jeans
From sweatshops to Gucci.
Oh, take a look around you,
It's all propaganda.

Nick Cave is THE man.


Eléanor - The Gathering


Underneath the mask you've buried yourself into
It's coal-black
I am tired of the gulping that you do
Every day a new face
What if I unscrew
Your own identity
Wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you?

The quicksand of life drags us
Down into the circle
One day. we might not catch you

I feel sorry for what you try to do
Breaking others down. to try and to pursue
Your own selfish interests
I am starting to get sick of you

Whatever happened ever since you left
You make yourself and me look like fools

"The Hollows" - Spartan Fidelity

I sleep in the hollows,
I drink from a shallow grave
Write songs about colors,
Write songs I could never play
Clear the bottles from the dirty ground
Burn the towers, look at what I've found
There's a whole world I wish to forget,
I've paid my debt
So I sleep in the hollows,
I'm not one to follow
'Cause I sleep in the hollows


Short but sweet.

Benjy Davis Project- Louisiana Saturday Night

I remember being young.
Hell I think i still am.
I was sittin steady chillin on the tailgate
Sippin on a day old pint of that Tennessee bam-she-bam.
That's the last thing I recall.
Hell I heard I had a ball.
I was sittin sorta crooked stable staring at the stars,
Overwelmed at how many cars are parked at bars.
Will this liquor make me sicker than we already are?
Is this my calling?
Am I falling?
Is this what I need?

It goes boom lights come flashing through the window pane.
Lift my arms throw my spirit in the pouring rain.
Should I start runnin'.
I must be runnin out of time.
What am I doing on this Louisiana Saturday Night?

Can i get a cigarette?
Fuma-Fuma pass it over I ain't got a lighter
What I do is use the stova-stova.
Take another shower.
Wipe it over rover chofer comin in a half an hour
Through the back seat ain't called shotgun.
Driver sittin crooked in the driver seat.
Good God! Am I gonna die?
Just another picture missing from the newspaper.
See you later.
Turn the funky radio up.
Turn that radio up

It goes boom lights come flashing through the window pane.
Lift my arms throw my spirit in the pouring rain.
Should I start runnin'.
I must be runnin out of time.
What am I doing on this Louisiana Saturday Night?

I'm bored talkin bout the night
Cuz we all know Louisiana sets it up right
With the band playin front stage
Never made the front page
Livin off a dollar
In the hopes I get a good wage.
Shout out! Everybody clap.
For the fine little girl in the second row back.
With the blonde hair, mini-skirt
Nice legs, tight shirt,
Sippin off a beer like a true baton rouge should act.


It goes boom lights come flashing through the window pane.
Lift my arms throw my spirit in the pouring rain.
Should I start runnin'.
I must be runnin out of time.
What am I doing on this Louisiana Saturday Night?

"Violet Hill" - Coldplay

Was a long and dark December
From the rooftops I remember
There was snow
White snow
Clearly, I remember
From the windows they were watching
While we froze down below
When the future's architectured
By a carnival of idiots on show
You'd better lie low

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

Was a long and dark December
When the banks became cathedrals
And the fog
Became God
Priests clutched onto bibles
Hollowed out to fit their rifles
And the cross was held aloft
Bury me in armor
When I’m dead and hit the ground
A love back home unfolds

If you love me
Won't you let me know?

I don't want to be a soldier
With the captain of some sinking ship
With snow, far below

If you love me
Why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to Violet Hill
There we sat in snow
All that time she was silent still

So if you love me,
Won't you let me know?
If you love me,
Won't you let me know?

^^ starts humming Violet Hill....if you loooooooove me, won't you leeeet me knooooow....

Charlotte Sometimes "How I Could Kill a Man"

Go get your ribbon box
Go get your wounded heart
Seeing spiders, I'm told they never lie.

Go get your brother love
Go get your losing head
Seeing fire, I'm told it never burns.

I want it all, I pull you back. I want it all.

Cry baby, cry baby, cry. Soaking down your face.
Cry baby, cry baby, and you can't understand how I could just kill a man.

No to your letters love
No to unsturdy hands
Sleeping eyes, I'm told they never lie.

No to your key of rust
No to your raging words
Sleeping tires, I'm told they never drive.

(prechorus and chorus repeats)

If I wanted to stay, you won't stand in my way
But I'm choosing to leave with your heart on my sleeve
It feels too good without you

(chorus outro)

Scorpion Flower - Moonspell

Curse the day, hail the night
Flower grown in the wild
In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower worn in the dark

Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can I freeze your soul and your time?
Scorpion flower
Token of death
Ignite the skies with your eyes
And keep me away from your light

Surrender tears to your mortal act
Flower cursed be thy fruit
Of your courage last
Of your grand finale
Flower crushed in the ground
In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower worn in the dark

Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can I freeze your soul and your time?
Scorpion flower
Token of death
Ignite the skies with your eyes

In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower worn in the dark

Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can I freeze your soul and your time?
Scorpion flower
Token of death
Ignite the skies with your eyes

Ludo- Love Me Dead

Love me cancerously, like a salt-sore soaked in the sea.
'High-maintenance' means you're a gluttonous queen,
Narcissistic and mean.
Kill me romantically, fill my soul with vomit
Then ask me for a piece of gum.
Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum.
You're awful, I love you!

She moves through moonbeams slowly.
She knows just how to hold me.
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin.
I know she drains me slowly.
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Must be the sign on my head, it says,
"Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead!

You're a faith-healer on T.V.
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold, gushing for gold - leave me alone.
You suck so passionately.
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
finger-bangin' my heart.
You call me up drunk. Does the fun ever start?
You're hideous... And sexy!

She moves through moonbeams slowly.
She knows just how to hold me.
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin.
I know she drains me slowly.
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Must be the sign on my head, it says,
"Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead! Wow! Uh!

Love me cancerously.
Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da! Brrrot-dot-da-d-da-da!
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of a the beast.
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!

She moves through moonbeams slowly.
She knows just how to hold me.
And when her edges soften, her body is my coffin.
I know she drains me slowly.
She wears me down to bones in bed...
Wha' 'bout the sigh on my head?
It says, "Oh, love me dead!" Love me dead!
Love me dead! Love me dead!
Oh... Love me dead!

^ that. is. hilarious.
i had yet to look up those lyrics since i've seen the hilarious video.

"My Love Goes Free" Jon Foreman

The Movement comes in slow
It's a tune we both should know
But the walls are thin
So we keep our voices low

You're a bird with a pretty mouth
You're a bird with songs to shout
And the same refrain continues
Singing out
If you love her let her go
She sings beautiful and slow
A tune that only caged birds know

So you're in nashville on the phone
And I'm back here at home
And the words are new
But I recognize the tone

If you love her let her go
She's beautifully composed
A tune that only caged birds know

My love goes free...
My love goes free...
My love goes free...

"The Islander" - Nightwish

An old man by a sea shore at the end of day
Gazes the horizon with sea winds in his face
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name

Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way, lighting hope in their hearts
The ones and their travels homeward from afar

This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago

The albatross is flying, making him daydream
The time before he became one of the world's unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields
Life gave him it all an island of the universe

Now his love's a memory, a ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water, seabed far below
Grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow

This is for long-forgotten light at the end of the world
Horizon crying the tears he left behind long ago

A Little Priest - Sweeney Todd Soundtrack

Seems an awful waste
Such a nice plump frame
Wot's-his-name has--
Had--
Has!
Nor it can’t be traced
Bus’ness needs a lift
Debts to be erased
Think of it as thrift
As a gift...
If you get my drift...
Seems an awful waste

I mean, with the price of meat what it is
When you get it
If you get it--

“Ah!”

Good, you got it!
Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop
Bus’ness never better, using only pussycats and toast
Now a pussy’s good for maybe six or seven at the most
And I’m sure they can’t compare - as far as taste

Mrs. Lovett
What a charming notion
Eminently practical and yet appropriate as always
Mrs. Lovett
How I did without you all these years I’ll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable
How choice!
How rare!

Well, it does seem a waste...
Think about it!
Lots of other gentlemen’ll
Soon be comin’ for a shave
Won’t they?
Think of
All them Pies!


For what’s the sound of the world out there?

What, Mr. Todd?
What, Mr. Todd?
What is that sound?

Those crunching noises pervading the air?

Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, Mr. Todd!
Yes, all around!

It’s man devouring man, my dear

And who are we to deny it in here?
Then who are we to deny it in here?


It’s priest
Have a little priest

Is it really good?

Sir, it’s too good, at least!
Then again, they don’t commit sins of the flesh
So it’s pretty fresh
Awful lot of fat
Only where it sat
Haven’t you got poet
Or something like that?
No, you see, the trouble with poet is
How do you know it’s deceased?
Try the priest!

Lawyer’s rather nice
If it’s for a price
Order something else, though, to follow
Since no one should swallow it twice!
Anything that’s lean?
Well, then, if you’re British and loyal
You might enjoy Royal Marine!
Anyway, it’s clean
Though of course, it tastes of wherever it’s been!

Is that squire
On the fire?
Mercy no, sir
Look closer
You’ll notice it’s grocer!
Looks thicker
More like vicar
No, it has to be grocer-- it’s green

The history of the world, my love--
Save a lot of graves
Do a lot of relatives favours
--Is those below serving those up above
Ev’rybody shaves
So there should be plenty of flavours...
How gratifying for once to know--
That those above will serve those down below!

It’s fop
Finest in the shop
Or we have some shepherd’s pie peppered
With actual shepherd on top
And I’ve just begun--
’Ere’s a politician - so oily
It’s served with a doily--
’Ave one?
Put it on a bun
Well, you never know if it’s going to run!
Try the friar
Fried, it’s drier
No, the clergy is really
Too coarse and too mealy
Then actor--
It’s compacter
Ah, but always arrives overdone

Have charity towards the world, my pet
Yes, yes, I know, my love!
We’ll take the customers that we can get
High-born and low, my love
We’ll not discriminate great from small
No, we’ll serve anyone--
Meaning anyone--
We’ll serve anyone--
And to anyone--
At all!

^Epic win to both Sweeney and Depeche Mode.

"No Children" - The Mountain Goats

I hope that our few remaining friends
Give up on trying to save us
I hope we come up with a failsafe plot
To piss off the dumb few that forgave us
I hope the fences we mended
Fall down beneath their own weight
And I hope we hang on past the last exit
I hope it's already too late
And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
Someday burns down
And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
And I never come back to this town
Again in my life
I hope I lie
And tell everyone you were a good wife
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow
I hope it bleeds all day long
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises
We're pretty sure they're all wrong
I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do
Yeah I hope I never get sober
And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say
And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out
You'd stay the hell out of my way
I am drowning
There is no sign of land
You are coming down with me
Hand in unlovable hand
And I hope you die
I hope we both die

Jon Foreman- "I Hate All Your Show"

I hate all your show and pretense
The hypocrisy of your praise
The hypocrisy of your festivals
I hate all your show

Away with your noisy worship
Away with your noisy hymns
I stop up my ears when you're singing them
I hate all your show

Instead let there be a flood of justice
An endless procession of righteous living, living
Instead let there be a flood of justice
Instead of a show

Your eyes are closed when you're praying
You sing right along with the band
You shine up your shoes for services
But there's blood on your hands

You've turned your back on the homeless
And the ones who don't fit in your plan
Quit playing religion games
There's blood on your hands

Let's argue this out
If your sins are blood red
Let's argue this out
You'll be white as the clouds
Let's argue this out
Quit fooling around

Give love to the ones who can't love at all
Give hope to the ones who got no hope at all
Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all
All

I hate all your show

Instead of a show
I hate all your show
