She Wouldn't Be Gone - Blake Shelton

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:23:40 GMT

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter, oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through

Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you
I could have done that a whole lot more

If I hadn't been so stubborn, been so selfish
Thought about her more, thought about me less
Joked and maked her laugh, held her when she cried
A little more that.. maybe I...

Wouldn't be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone.. she wouldn't be gone..

She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change, she was leaving
I just didn't believe she would ever really walk out, God, I believe her now

Called her mamma, cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her, they ain't sayin, they ain't sayin...

Now, I'm cursing like a fool, praying it ain't too late all I wanna do is fix my mistakes
Find her beg her for one more try, until then damn it I"ll..

Be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..

I wouldn't be beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...
She wouldn't be gone..

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter, oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through

Blake Shelton- Don't Make Me

Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:19:05 GMT

Girl When I Look At You
You Look Through Me Like I’m Not Even There
I Try Not To Give Up To Be Strong But
I’m Afraid To Say I’m Scared
I Can't Find The Place Your Heart Is Hidin'
I’m No Quitter But I’m Tired Of Fightin'

Chorus:
Baby I Love You
Don’t Wanna Lose You
Don’t Make Me Let You Go
Took Such A Long Time
For Me To Find You
Don’t Make Me Let You Go
Baby Your Beggin' Please
And I’m Down Here On My Knees
And I Don’t Wanna Have To Set You Free
Don’t Make Me

Verse 2:
What If When I’m Long Gone
It Dawns On You
You Just Might Want Me Back
Let Me Make Myself Clear
If I Leave Here
Its Done I’m Gone That’s That
You Carry Me Love Around
Like Its A Heavy Burden
I’m About To Take It Back
Are You Sure It’s Worth It

Chorus:
Baby I Love You
Don’t Wanna Lose You
Don’t Make Me Let You Go
Took Such A Long Time
For Me To Find You
Don’t Make Me Let You Go
Baby Your Begging Please
And I’m Down Here On My Knees
And I Don’t Wanna Have To Set You Free
Don’t Make Me

Baby Your Beggin Please
And I’m Down Here On My Knees
I Don’t Wanna Have To Set You Free
Don’t Make Me
Don’t Make Me
Stop Lovin' You
Stop Needin' You

"Hearts A Mess" by Gotye

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:28:22 GMT

Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It’s not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don’t get burned
(’Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see...
Love ain’t fair
So there you are
My love

Your heart’s a mess
You won’t admit to it
It makes no sense
But I’m desperate to connect
And you, you can’t live like this

Love ain’t safe
You won’t get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don’t wanna waste my love

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 15:21:52 GMT

Breathe in breathe out
Tied to a wheel fingers got to feel
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile
I spin on a whim slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love
For our fear
For our rise against the years and years and years

Chorus:
Got a machinehead better than the rest
Green to red machinehead
I walk from my machine
I walk from my machine

Deaf dumb and thirty
Starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine
Unconscious all the time
If I had it all again
I'd change it all

Repeat Chorus

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 05:15:56 GMT

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And i wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but i want more
And i'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

Girl - Ben Folds

Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:15:30 GMT

Girl, it's been a long time
Since we had it going on that way
Feelings getting stronger
Each and every day

Ahh

Wake up, oh yeah
I can feel you but you're not there
Holding on to thin air
Cause your dreaming of somebody else

Sexed up, our toes curl
Used to have it going on, girl
Washed our worries from this hard world
Now you're dreaming of somebody else

Girl, it's been a long time
Since we had it going on that way
Feelings getting stronger
Each and every day

Girl, it's been a long time
Since we had it going on that way
Feelings getting stronger
Each and every day

And if you call me back girl
(I'll be there, I'll be there)
Yeah, I will be your man
(I'll be there, I'll be there)
Yeah, you may lie your ass off
(You were there, you were there)
Girl

(You say the longer we go
The more your friends are freakin' out
Well, you oughta know that
I wouldn't stand between you
And my deafness screams sometimes
And my heart has gravity sickness
I just don't know
Is it me or is it you?
What are you trying to do?)

Girl, it's been a long time
Since we had it going on that way
Feelings getting stronger
Each and every day

Girl, it's been a long time
Since we had it going on that way
And it's getting stronger
Each and every day

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in new york city
And I don't know why.

Are we listening to hyms of offering?
Have we eyes to see that love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the years roll down.
cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.

Pattern Recognition

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:00:49 GMT

"We have no future because our present is too volatile," says Pattern Recognition's arch-capitalist, Hubertus Bigend. "We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment's scenarios. Pattern Recognition." In such a present, the future recedes into memory. As our imaginations fail, science fiction is rendered obsolete.

"Parkaboy says you should go to new footage as though you've seen no previous footage at all, thereby momentarily escaping the film or films you've been assembling with, consciously or unconsciously, since first exposure. Homo sapiens are about pattern recognition, he says. Both a gift and a trap"--pgs. 22-23 in paperback

From Pattern Recognition by William Gibson
*********************************************

THE COOLHUNTER
I prepare trend reports for fortune 1000 companies.
I am paid to play
the disenfranchised against the disrespected
make the F1000 feel connected
to the cognosumers who reject them,
stuck in the cultural crosshairs.

I package the questions and organize the answers,
emailing the butcher, blackmailing the baker,
sharing the bone marrow with clandestine video game maker.

I tell them about funky black barbers in Memphis
using fire to cut hair.
Swedish teens bored to tears
soaking their tampons in vodka
to get juiced in school.
Crispin Glover joins the Wu Tang Clan
and nobody bothers to understand
but everybody says
dude that's cool.

The revolution
is a bunch of white kids
addicted to database pollution
yelling slogans, brandishing upside down crosses
bearing inverted icons;

Pillsbury wants to update the dough boy and make butter 'younger',
stick that fucker with fork and call your mother,
scrape the lard from the fat of the land
and leave it smoking in the pan.

And some guy in a conference room in Ohio says into his speakerphone:
"Tell me more about the Krautrock movement and the abstract bands."
I spit out details to counteract,
and wipe my face with my cuff,
generating more fluff,
without concentrating on the end result,
just the next step which is an orchestrated effort to tap into tech step

to sidestep the fact that all packaged goods are the same,
only the name changes.
and the game rearranges and the world Wayne lives in
can be divided into stages, phases, trends, fads, and crazes.

Declare a war on a demographic,
paying top dollar for a guerilla campaign of street posters placed in
prime places
where kids congregate and pedophiles masturbate to juvenile faces,
services provided by an eco-terrorist graffiti artist specializing in
revitalizing heavy metal.
His brandalism spreads the viruses we peddle:
Kids in custom vans should crave candy and chemicals, rejecting
morals and resting on their laurels,
making fun of Pauly Shore
as they get addicted to death and keep whoring for more.

And some guy in a conference room in Ohio will smile. "This is teen cool
AND mom cool."

What's hot, what's right, what's not in the spotlight?
Hold a focus group and retool, train the pilots to tame the planes
and get ready for a midair refuel.

Do kids really think black is the new brown?
or is platinum the new black?
Who do we assassinate, and what era is ripe for a comeback?

Do you trust me to keep the world on track?

By your side- Sebastian Bach
So long my dear departed
where did you go
I can't believe you're gone and
the lights go out so slow
the precious time we spent
my fondest memories
I'll hold on to the promise
That You Made To me

Refrain
You know I'll never let you go
You know I'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side

I Feel you when you're watching from afar
Too Young to leave me standing
I wonder where you are
The precious time we spent
my fondest memories
I'll hold on to the promise
That You Made To Me

You know i'll never let you go
You know i'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side

I stare into his eyes and then I see your face
A dying love inside
a love you can't replace
You're looking down with pride
And let me show what I Can tell

To young to leave me standing
I wonder where you are

You know i'll never let you go
You know i'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side

White Flag by Dido

Tue, 27 Nov 2007 06:53:25 GMT

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
I'll tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I WILL SURVIVE (: by GLORIA GAYNOR

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:52:17 GMT

At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and i knew how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
('cause) you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
Go on now.. etc.

I love this song.

There was a man, a lonely man,
who lost his love through his indifference.
A heart that kept, that went unchecked,
until it died within his silence.

And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
And by himself, it's easy to pretend,
he'll never love again.
And keeping to himself he plays the game,
without her love it always ends the same.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.

A little hope goes up in smoke,
just how it goes, goes without saying.
There was a man, a lonely man,
who would command the hand he's playing.
(chorus)

And Solitaire's the only game in town,
and every road that takes him down.
While life goes on around him everywhere,
he's playing Solitaire.

The Birthday Massacre - Kill The Lights

The story's missing a wishing well
No mirror to show and tell
No kiss that can break the spell
I'm falling asleep

Every prince is a fantasy
The witch is inside of me
Her poison will wash away the memory

We kill the lights
And put on a show
It's all a lie
But you'd never know
The star will shine
And then it will fall
And you will forget it all

And after midnight we're all the same
No glass shoe to bring us fame
Nobody to take the blame
We're falling apart

Every story's a waiting game
A flower for every name
Their colors are paling in the falling rain.

We kill the lights
And put on a show
It's all a lie
But you'd never know
The star will shine
And then it will fall
And you will forget it all

Now you know it's so much better
To pretend there's something waiting for you here
Every letter that you wrote,
Has found it's way to me my dear
You can make-believe that what you say
Is what I want to hear
I'll keep dancing through
This beautiful, delusional career
Faking every tear;
Looking like a compromised suicide
Keeping all my dreams alive

a perfect circle

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 19:07:29 GMT

lead singer of tool took a side project to the next level and created "a perfect circle". their lyrics are phenomonal. they've sort of disbanded since their last album release in 2004 "eMOTIVe".

“Dead as dead can be,” the doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, ever the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become… my perfect enemy

Wake up (we'll catch you) and face me (come one now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this; you’re better off this;
Maybe you’re better off

Wake up (can't you) and face me (come on now),
Don’t play dead (don't play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I'll) walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me

Passive aggressive bullshit

To The Rhythm Of The War Drums]">

</font>Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window
Go back to sleep
Safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do.

Count the bodies like sheep
Count the bodies like sheep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

Count the bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep

Go back to sleep
Go to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums

I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same, I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Hey there! I'm new here. And to lj in general. So Hi! I saw a game down a few entries and I thought it would be a good introduction game thingamabober. See if you can guess the band/artist and the title of the song.

1. She signs no contract, but she always plays the game.
2. His polyester stands out in the crowd.
3. Somewhere in the system there's an open ended list of all the lies we tell unblinking, thinking, What could we be living?
4. The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
5. Should they kill me, your love will fill me as warm as the bullets
6. Sorry I'm not home right now, I'm walking into spiderwebs. Leave a message and I'll call you back
7. Annie said she wouldn't mind if she never found a cure for all her problems. As long as she had someone near to make it clear she didn't have to solve them.
8. Sad little boy, I know you get confused. But everyone goes through these trials of self truth and self abuse.
9. Good things come to boys who wait.
10. Take a sad song and make it better.

Good luck!!
