Owl City - Fireflies - Lyrics

Owl City - Fireflies - Lyrics

Buy Owl City - Fireflies at Amazon UK

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude, but I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try to teach me how to dance

A fox-trot above my head
A sock-hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(They said farewell)

But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few, and I keep them in a jar
(A jar)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive - Lyrics

Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive - Lyrics

This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: huge success
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive

I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive

Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Anyway this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist
Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

David Bowie - Life On Mars - Lyrics

David Bowie - Life On Mars - Lyrics

Buy at Amazon.co.uk

It's a God awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, "No!"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seats with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors
Fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man!
Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey - Lyrics

This is brilliant! Heard this on Net@Nite.

Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey - Lyrics

Code Monkey get up get coffee
Code Monkey go to job
Code Monkey have boring meeting
With boring manager Rob
Rob say Code Monkey very dilligent
But his output stink
His code not "functional" or "elegant"
What do Code Monkey think?
Code Monkey think maybe manager want to write god damned login page himself
Code Monkey not say it out loud
Code Monkey not crazy, just proud

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you

Code Monkey hang around at front desk
Tell you sweater look nice
Code Monkey offer buy you soda
Bring you cup, bring you ice
You say no thank you for the soda cause
Soda make you fat
Anyway you busy with the telephone
No time for chat
Code Monkey have long walk back to cubicle he sit down pretend to work
Code Monkey not thinking so straight
Code Monkey not feeling so great

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you
Code Monkey like you a lot

Code Monkey have every reason
To get out this place
Code Monkey just keep on working
See your soft pretty face
Much rather wake up, eat a coffee cake
Take bath, take nap
This job "fulfilling in creative way"
Such a load of crap
Code Monkey think someday he have everything even pretty girl like you
Code Monkey just waiting for now
Code Monkey say someday, somehow

Code Monkey like Fritos
Code Monkey like Tab and Mountain Dew
Code Monkey very simple man
With big warm fuzzy secret heart:
Code Monkey like you

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York - Lyrics

The Pogues - Fairytale of New York - Lyrics

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

Panic! At the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Lyrics

Panic! At the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies - Lyrics
From LyricWiki

Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
'What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!' says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
'And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore.'

I'd chime in with a 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in, 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne

I'd chime in with a 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in, 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again...

I'd chime in, 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in, 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!'
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin' Down - Lyrics

Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Goin' Down - Lyrics
From LyricWiki

Am I more than you bargained for yet
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week
Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans
Isn't it messed up how I'm just dying to be him
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it
We're going down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Down, down in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down (down, down)
Down, down (down, down)
We're going down, down (down, down)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

We're going down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)
And Sugar, we're going down swinging (Take back what you said)
I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)
A loaded God complex, cock it and pull it

Texas Lightning - No No Never - Lyrics

Texas Lightning - No No Never - Lyrics

My love is stronger now than you'll ever know
and it won't ever let you go
My love is wider than the ocean can be
and it's deeper than the deep blue sea
My love goes higher than a mountain can rise
and I see it there in your eyes
My love gets tougher when the going gets rough
and believe me, I've got more than enough

Keep tryin' babe, keep holding on
There's a place we belong
Where things are good, where love is strong

I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own
Never ever gonna not go and pick up the phone
I'm never ever gonna let you be chilled to the bone
No, no, never
No, no, never
I'm never ever gonna leave when you're lost in the storm
Never ever gonna not keep you safe where it's warm
I never ever will desert you when your heart is torn
No, no, never
No, no, never

My love shines brighter than a twinkling star
baby no matter where you are
And my love keeps burning like an eternal flame
you can feel it, when I'm calling your name

Keep tryin' babe, keep holding on
There's a place we belong
Where things are good, where love is strong

I'm never ever gonna leave you to cry on your own...

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know - Lyrics

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know - Lyrics

I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand,
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete,
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on,
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.

I came across a fallen tree,
I felt the branches of it looking at me,
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on,
So tell me when you're gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin,

And if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on,
So tell me when you gonna let me in,
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin,
And if you have a minute why don't we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go, so why don't we go.

Hmmm yeah

This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

The White Stripes - We're Going To Be Friends - Lyrics

The White Stripes - We're Going To Be Friends - Lyrics

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna to be friends
I can tell that we are gonna to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We can rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
We safely walk to school without a sound

Well here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns and books and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Then back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
The teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
Cause we don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
The teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes it when you sing

Tonight I'll dream I'm in bed
While silly thoughts run through my head
Of the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
You and I will walk together again
Cause I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Barenaked Hurley - If I Had A Million Dollars - Lyrics

I heard this song on the Jay and Jack LOST podcast but haven't seen the lyrics online anywhere, so here's my transcription. If you compare this to the original song lyrics you'll see how close they actually are. I grabbed the mp3 from brianenigma's page. Thanks!

Barenaked Hurley - If I Had A Million Dollars - Lyrics
(A LOST Parody of "If I Had A Million Dollars" by Barenaked Ladies)

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I would buy you an island (I would buy you an island)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd build you underground bunkers on your island (and setup a smoky security system)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd setup freaky science experiments (and juxtapositional eugenics and perhaps meteorology)
And if I had a million dollars, I'd crash a plane

If I had a million dollars I'd make a list and send in spies
If I had a million dollars I'd make the survivors think the trees had eyes
If I had a million dollars we could kidnap all the little, tiny children who survived.
And maybe continue with our wacky, society-building utopian experiments.
And they'd be all like, "Oooh, we can use our backwards talking powers to freak all the rest of the survivors out."
Yeah!

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd plant an instructional film (but not a real instructional film, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd cut out a piece of that film (yep, and hide it in another bunker)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd dress up in a beanie and a fake beard (ooh, all that crazy theatrical glue)
And if I had a million dollars I'd crash a plane

If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to keep eating guava and boar
If I had a million dollars we'd pig out in the Swan hatch 'cause it's got more
If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat DHARMA dinners
"But we would eat DHARMA dinners."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And make really expensive ranch dressings."
"That's right, and they can keep up to three months at room temperature."

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd carry a jesus stick (but not a real jesus stick, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I think I'd paint a mural in the hatch (was it by Picasso or Garfunkel?)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd hijack all of your guns (haven't you always wanted a gun stash?!)
And if I had a million dollars I'd crash a plane

If I had a million dollars; if I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars; if I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars... I'd be LOST!

Barenaked Ladies - If I Had A Million Dollars - Lyrics

Barenaked Ladies - If I Had A Million Dollars - Lyrics

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a house (I'd buy you a house)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you furniture for your house (maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a K-Car (a nice reliant automobile)
And if I had a million dollars, I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars I'd build a tree-fort in our yard
If I had a million dollars you could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had a million dollars maybe we could put a little tiny fridge in there somewhere.
"You know, we could just go up there and hang out."
"Like open the fridge and stuff, and there'd all be foods laid out for us like little pre-wrapped sausages and things. They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon."
"Well can you blame them?"
"Yeah."

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a fur a coat (but not a real fur coat, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you an exotic pet (yep, like a llama or an emu)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you John Merrick's remains (all them crazy elephant bones)
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars we wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner
"But we would eat Kraft dinner."
"Of course we would, we'd just eat more."
"And buy really expensive ketchups with it."
"That's right, all the fanciest Dijon ketchups."

If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you some art (A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
And if I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
Well I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?!)
And if I had a million dollars I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars; if I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars; if I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars... I'd be rich!

Pixies - Where is My Mind? - Lyrics

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Caribbean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Mondo Bongo - Lyrics

I have no clue what this song is about. Anybody?

Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Mondo Bongo - Lyrics
(From the Mr. & Mrs. Smith Soundtrack)

I was patrolling a Pachinko
Nude noodle model parlor in the Nefarious zone
Hanging out with insects under ducting
The C.I.A was on the phone
Well, such is life

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair, oh

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

For the Zapatistas I'll rob my sisters
Of all the curtain and lace

Down at the bauxite mine
You get your own uniform
Have lunchtimes off
Take a monorail to your home

Checkmate, baby
God bless us and our home
Where ever we roam
Now take us home, flaquito

Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
The flower looks good in your hair
Latino caribo, mondo bongo
Nobody said it was fair

The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes - Lyrics

Heard this song on a snowboarding movie recently and loved it.

The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes - Lyrics

I've got a cupboard with cans of food,
Filtered water and pictures of you,
And I'm not coming out until this is all over,
And I'm looking through the glass,
Where the light bends at the cracks,
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs,
Pretending the echoes belong to someone,
Someone I used to know,
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.

I wanted to walk through the empty streets,
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors,
Because the air outside will make,
Our cells divide at an alarming rate,
Until our shells simply cannot hold,
All our insides in, and that's when we'll explode,
And it won't be a pretty sight.
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go,
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go,
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go,
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go.

And we'll become,
And we'll become.

Weebls Stuff - Magical Trevor 3 - Lyrics

Magical Trevor is back again! Hurrah for odd lyrics. :)

Weebls Stuff - Magical Trevor 3 - Lyrics

Magical Trevor is here for the day,
We all love him it's safe to say,
It's 12pm so he starts with a thriller,
He's gonna do tricks with a chinchilla,
Covers it up with his magical cloak,
Gets out some petrol and gives it a soak,
Look out kids! He's playing with matches,
He'd better be careful in case the cloak catches on fire,
Oh no, the cloak is on fire,
It's turning to ashes with our furry friend,
When will this horror finally end?
Oh look, it's OK, well that was amazing,
The chinchilla's just fine but now it's turned into a raisin,
Shame no one's watching put this in your journal,
"Dear diary, chinchilla's sure are nocturnal!",
Check out your animal facts next time, Trevor,
Ooh, you sure get nice coats at 'World of Leather'!

Frou Frou - Let Go - Lyrics

Drink up baby down
Are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind
'Cause it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you're writing a tragedy
These mess-ups
You bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives
And then advances with the form
So, honey, back for more
Can't you see that all the stuff's essential?
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later
Now you can wait
You roll your eyes
We've twenty seconds to comply

So, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's al right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Woooohh
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see

Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Woooohh
Do you believe
In what you feel
It doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not have seen
And i'll hide away for another day

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe
In what you see

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment - Lyrics

Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment - Lyrics
(from the album "No Name Face")

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely incomplete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

Now I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you

There's nothing else to lose
There's nothing else to find
There's nothing in the world
That could change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
I'm chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment
Hanging by a moment here with you

Corey Hart - Sunglasses At Night - Lyrics


I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

Well

Keep track of the visions in my eyes

While, she's deceiving me
She cuts my security

I turn to her and say

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no

Don't be afraid of the guy in shades, oh no
Cause you've got it made with the guy in shades, oh no

Oh no no no yeah

She cuts my security
She got control of me

TISM - Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me - Lyrics

TISM - Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me - Lyrics
Transcribed by 'Ambient Irony' on the DSL Reports forum:

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Teenagers naked,
Couple and threes
Grandparents swing from the ceiling.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.

Corporate chambers and office amore.
Shenanigans outdoor and in.
Resist and then later your find out there's more
Regret in not doing the sin.

Our lives have to die
Of that there's no help
My favourite way to end them
Is the orb-weaver spider's whose pedipalp
Enters the female pudendum.

Then dies on the spot
His corpse there still stuck,
Left for his rivals to curse at.

He would rather die than not get to fuck
Personally I reckon it's worth it.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does everybody else get that feeling?

...

Does everyone think...

REM - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Lyrics

R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Lyrics
Lyrics source: One of Stipe's concert lyric sheets

Buy on Amazon.co.uk

That’s great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, don’t misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn’t coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it’ll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.


Six o’clock - TV hour. Don’t get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.


The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line.
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.


It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...


(It’s time I had some time alone)

One-T & Cool-T - The Magic Key

Missing you, missing you
Missing you, magic crew

( Listen up)

This sudden end to my days
Makes me wish I'd changed my ways
Spent more time with the posse
One-t, nine-t, bull-t, me
From up here, life seems so small
what's the
meaning of it all?
Miss the way it used to be
One-t, nine-t, bull-t, me

Where in the world could I be?
Homies looking so cool, cool, I'm cool-t!
Tuxedos made of snow
Is there something I should know?
Mom and Pop and little bro
Dead and gone so long ago
Could this be paradise at last?
The first test I've ever passed

Chorus:
Music's the odyssey
It's here for you, for me
Just listen and find the magic key (listen up)

Music's the odyssey (yeah)
It's here for you, for me (Magic key)
Just listen like your life be free

Blissful days, what you gonna do?
Still I miss my old t-crew
Can't afterlive without'em
I just wish they only knew!
May they have lived without a home
But my homies love me kept me warm
Taught me to forget 'bout the game
Money, hatred, hunger, pain

This sudden end to my days
Makes me wish I'd changed my ways
Spent more time with the posse
One-t, Nine-t, Bull-t, me
From up here, life seems so small
what's the meaning of it all?
Miss the way it used to be
One-t, Nine-t, Bull-t, me

Chorus:
Music's the odyssey( yeah)
It's here for you, for me
Just listen and find the magic key (yours truly)/(listen up)

Music's the odyssey( yeah)
It's here for you, for me (magic key)
Just listen like your life be free

Missing you, missing you
Missing you, magic crew

The game of life is over (over)
Wish I'd stopped to smell the clover (clover)
Sing it'till your face turns blue
Bull-t, Nine-t, one-t, crew
Spent more time giving out the products
And less time clickin' off pops
Sing it' till your face turns blue
Bull-t, nine-t, cool-t, too

Had a meeting with my maker
The superhuman baker
He popped me in the oven
And set the dial to lovin'
Now I watch over my boys
Help'em keep on making noise
Never pictured me with wings
Guess I've heard of stranger things

Chorus:
Music's the odyssey (aha)/(yeah)
It's here for you, for me (yeah,yeah)
Just listen and find the magic key

Music's the odyssey (aha, aha)
It's here for you, for me ( yeah, yeah)
Just listen like your life be free

Missing you, missing you
Missing you, magic crew

Tattle Tale - Glass Vase Cello Case

Tattle Tale - Glass Vase Cello Case - Lyrics

Breathe into my hands I'll cup them like a glass to drink from
Are you still, still breathing?
Are you still, breathing?
Are you still, still breathing?
Are you still, breathing?
Breathe into my hands I'll cup them like a glass to drink from

Martin L Gore - Compulsion

Martin Gore - Compulsion - Lyrics

Buy on Amazon.co.uk

Charms in limited supply and refusing to stretch
That indefinable nothing somehow keeps pushing you
Finding the right words can be a problem
How many times must it be said
there's no plan it had to happen

Got to move on sometime
And its about time
By putting one foot in front of another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You’re free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn’t have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime
Got to move on sometime

Charms in limited supply under threat of extinction
That indefinable nothing somehow motivates you
Finding the right words can be a problem
How many times must it be said
There's no plan it had to happen

Got to move on sometime
And its about time
By putting one foot in front of another
And repeating the process
Cross over the street
You’re free to change your mind
Strength through diversity
Couldn’t have put it more plainly

Got to move on sometime

Shpadoinkle

Trey Parker - Shpadoinkle Day - Lyrics
From the film Cannibal! The Musical


The sky is blue and all the leaves are green.
The sun's as warm as a baked potato.
I think I know precisely what I mean,
When I say it's a shpadoinkle day.

And as I ride with my girl,
She's my best friend in the whole world!
We'll move along, set our goals high
With eyes full of hope as we aim for the...

Sky is blue and all the leaves are green.
My heart's as full as a baked potato.
I think I know precisely what I mean,
When I say it's a shpadoinkle day!
When I say it's a happy-go-moinkaly lucky shpadoinklely...dayyyyyy.
