'Make This Go On Forever'

Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness [x2]

And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness [x2]

I love Lou Reed, especially for this public relations opportunity! No offence to good Americans, it's the other 200 million that annoy! Still not posting on this god damned shite site! lol

Last Great American Whale

They say he didnt have an enemy
His was a greatness to behold
He was the last surviving progeny
The last one on this side of the world

He measured a half mile from tip to tail
Silver and black with powerful fins
They say he could split a mountain in two
Thats how we got the grand canyon

Last great american whale
Last great american whale
Last great american whale
Last great american whale

Some say they saw him at the great lakes
Some say they saw him off of florida
My mother said she saw him in chinatown
But you cant always trust your mother

Off the carolinas the sun shines brightly in the day
The lighthouse glows ghostly there at night
The chief of a local tribe had killed a racist mayors son
And hed been on death row since 1958

The mayors kid was a rowdy pig
Spit on indians and lots worse
The old chief buried a hatchet in his head
Life compared to death for him seemed worse

The tribal brothers gathered in the lighthouse to sing
And tried to conjure up a storm or rain
The harbor parted, the great whale sprang full up
And caused a hugh tidal wave

The wave crushed the jail and freed the chief
The tribe let out a roar
The whites were drowned, the browns and reds set free
But sadly one thing more

Some local yokel member of the nra
Kept a bazooka in his living room
And thinking he had the chief in his sight
Blew the whales brains out with a lead harpoon

Last great american whale
Last great american whale
Last great american whale
Last great american whale

Well americans dont care for much of anything
Land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast

Americans dont care too much for beauty
Theyll shit in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
Theyll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
And complain if they cant swim

They say things are done for the majority
Dont believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
Its like what my painter friend donald said to me
Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, theyre done

Snow Patrol - You Could Be Happy









You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played on loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you go
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

One of my first musical influences....petted to his tunes! still makes her swoon.

Cosmic Dancer

by 'Marc Bolan and T. Rex'




I was dancing when I was twelve [ x2 ]
I was dancing when I was aah [ x2 ]
I danced myself right out the womb [ x2 ]
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself right out the womb

I was dancing when I was eight [ x2 ]
Is it strange to dance so late [ x2 ]
I danced myself into the tomb [ x2 ]
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/76qz ]

Is it wrong to understand
The fear that dwells inside a man
What's it like to be a loon
I liken it to a balloon

I danced myself out of the womb [ x2 ]
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself into the tomb
But when again once more

I danced myself out of the womb [ x2 ]
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself out of the womb.

Rip It Up

Well it's Saturday nite
and I just got paid
A fool about my money
don't try to save
My heart says go, go
Have a time 'cause it's
Saturday nite babe
And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

Well I got me a date and
I won't be late
I picked her up in my '88'
Shag on down by the social hall
When the joint starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna shake it up
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/Qsc ]
I'm gonna rip it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

Solo

Along about 10 I'll be flying high
I walk on out in the open sky
But I don't care if I
spend much dough
'Cause tonite I'm gonna
be one happy soul

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

Well it's Saturday nite
and I just got paid
A fool about my money
don't try to save
My heart says go, go
Have a time 'cause it's
Saturday nite babe
And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna shake it up
Gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

Love & Rockets

It Could Be Sunshine

You can get from here to there
By leaps and bounds or measured steps
You can make it dark or fair
Depending on your point of view
You can get a taste of the glory
By the ingestion of a simple truth
You can take a look around
See the outside, see the inside too
Are you on a road to nowhere?
Are you riding a train to Heaven or Hell?
Are you in search of somewhere
Or something that rings true?
Well it could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think it is
Give me your sunshine again
You've left me in a mess
And when I fall I really fall
And that's when you go to my head my head
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
Give me songs and freedom
Give me love in every sense
Raise me up so high with you
All the cavemen fade away away
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
Walking on the sidewalk of life
Will only make you grey and sad
Lift me up so high so high
My lifes always in your hands your hands
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
My love for you won't last for one day
My love for you will last for two
(x3)

SNOW PATROL LYRICS



'Signal Fire'

The perfect words never crossed my mind,
Cuz there was nothin' in there but you.
I felt every ounce of me screaming out,
But the sound was trapped deep in me.
All I wanted just sped right past me,
While I was rooted fast to the earth,
I could be stuck here for a thousand years,
Without your arms to drag me out.

[Chorus: ]
There you are standing right in front of me
There you are standing right in front of me
All this fear falls away to leave me naked,
Hold me close, cuz I need you to guide me to safety.

No, I don't want to wait forever [x2]

In the confusion and the aftermath,
You are my signal fire.
The only resolution and the only joy,
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eyes.

[Chorus (x2) ]

No, I don't want to wait forever [x3]

Precious Lyrics
Artist(Band) : Depeche Mode


Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through...

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for You

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's Your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray You learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in Your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Midnight Oil Poets and Slaves Lyrics

Here comes the mechanical sun
working on the bones in the dry old creek bed
mist on the old river bend yellow box hangs like it's dead
the emerald silo is rusting from the inside.

You want to run like the wind you'll never come here again
you want a world you can save so c'mon you poets and slaves.

Circus olympia pulls into town
the dwarf and the fat man head out for beer
there is no lion that roars to one can stand on the horse
tomorrow is a no show the fortune teller cries.

You want to go down in flames you're gonna crash like the waves
you can't remember your name so come on you poets and slaves.

We got everything we need sugar and beef
we got some good ideas
we got the steering wheels and rolling stock too
clouds came down low on the corn
meat ants are gathering like storms
somewhere in the quiet wild darkness a crocodile cries.

You gotta you gotta you gotta
c'mon you poets and slaves.

You got to arrest the decay you're sinking down in the bay
you can't remember your name c'mon you poets and slaves.

You've got to count what you've made
you're gonna pass like the days
stop time and head for the stage.

And c'mon you poets and slaves
c'mon you poets and slaves.

Hit the Switch Lyrics
Artist(Band) : Bright Eyes




I'm staring out into that vaccum again
From the back porch of my mind
The only thing thats alive
I'm all there is

And I start attacking my vodka, stab the ice with my straw
My eyes have turned red as stoplights, you seem ready to walk
You know I'll call you eventually, when I wanna talk
'Til then you're invisible.

'Cause theres a switch that gets hit and it all stops making sense
And in the middle of drinks, maybe the fifth or the sixth
I'm completely alone at a table of friends
I feel nothing for them. I feel nothing, nothing

Well, I need a break from the city again
I think I'll ship myself back west
I got a friend there, she says, 'hey, any time.'
Unless that offers expired, I have been less than frequent
she's under no obligation to indulge every whim
And I'm so ungrateful, I take, she gives and forgives
And I keep forgetting it

And each morning she wakes with a dream to describe
Something lovely that bloomed in her beautiful mind
I said 'I'll trade you one for two nightmares of mine
I have some where I die, I have some where we all die.'

I'm thinking of quitting drinking again
I know i said that a couple times
And I'm always changing my mind, well, i guess i am
But theres this burn in my stomach and theres this pain in my side
And when I kneel at the toilet
And the mornings clean light pours in through the window
Sometimes I pray I don't die
I'm a goddamn hypocrite

But the night rolls around and it all starts making sense
There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
And so I do what I do and at least I exist
What could mean more than this?
What would mean more?
Mean more?
ohhhh
