[Danoz The Great]

Tori Amos

Tori Amos songs are excellent. She writes the songs herself, and alot are really honest and excellent. They are on lots of issues too

From the album 'Little Earthquakes' -
* Me and a Gun - when she was raped by a 'fan' before becoming famous
* Precious Things - letting go of the past
* Tear in your hand - being dumped for a girl that's just like you (I think)
* Winter - growing up
* Silent all these years - don't really know what it's about, but nice lyrics

From 'Under the Pink'
* Cornflake Girl - trying to 'fit in', conformity, feeling different, etc
* God - funny look on God and why he doesn't always help you when you need it
* Baker Baker - getting over a guy (really nice )

"Boys for Pele"
* not much on this album, this album wasn't very successful (but I liked it), she wrote the album after a breakup so alot of the songs are aggressive/violent/rough. (Though not about breakup as such)

"From the Chiorgirl Hotel"
* Playboy Mommy - her miscarriage that she had during/before the making of this album
* Spark - mother nature ( i think)
* Jackie's Strength - Jackie Bouvier (1960's US history)
* i i e e e - drugs (ecstacy) and withdrawal ?

"To Venus and Back"
* Bliss - differences between a daughter and father (very good)

"Tales of a Librarian"
* Mary - mother nature / mary magdeline (bible)

I don't know much on the songs in To Venus and Back, Strange Little Girls, or Scarlet's Walk.


You mightn't like the songs people, but the lyrics are quite good

I have been listening to this non-stop for the last few days and I don't know why :/

Britney Spears - Stronger

hey, yeah
Hush, just stop
There’s nothing you can do or say, baby
I’ve had enough
I’m not your property as from today, baby
You might think that I won't make it on my own
But now I’m…

Chorus:
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My lonliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger

That I ever thought that I could be, baby
I used to go with the flow
Didn’t really care ‘bout me
You might think that I can’t take it, but you’re wrong
‘Cause now I’m…

CHORUS:
Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My lonliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger

Come on, now
Oh, yeah

Here I go, on my own
I don’t need nobody, better off alone
Here I go, on my own now
I don’t need nobody, not anybody
Here I go, alright, here I go

Repeat CHORUS

Stronger than yesterday
Now it’s nothing but my way
My loneliness ain’t killing me no more
I’m stronger

On The Table - AC Newman

On the table, the deal that kept the courts at arms length,
Stealing our thoughts with the force of their non-sequiturs - amateurs.
On the table, the view behind the legs of dancers,
Windows of chance there, lost on the trail of dissent - innocent.
Do re mi, innocent.

On the table, the deal between the thieves and exits,
Common and breathless, shrugging at what they've become - number one.
On the table, the steal that kept the courts at arms length,
Stealing our hearts with the force of the new evidence - innocent.
Do re mi, innocent.

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

On the table, our hopes become a starting pistol,
Though we have missed all the minutes, we know what weêve won.
Are we done?
On the table, the deal between the legs of mankind,
Walking a straight line, copping a plea as they went - innocent.
Do re mi, innocent.

Now the plain blondes are playing along with you

On the table

Donavon Frankenreiter - Call Me Papa

Moon comes up
and the moon goes down
Another sleepless night
Another sleepless town
I got you
I got you

Whenever I think about
what I lost
I change my mind instead
to what I still got
Cause I got you
I said I got you

Well you can call me papa
and I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Soon enough you know
I'll be around
but that aint soon enough
Cause it aint right now
I need you
I said I got you

When you close your eyes
and you drift to sleep
from time to time
I hope you're running to me
I'm thinking of you
I hope you see me to

Well you can call me papa
and I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Well you can call me papa
and I'll call you baby
Don't forget your momma's my baby too
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be there
I'll be there for you

Wheel- John Mayer <-- i love this guy! he's great!!!

People have the right to fly
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along"
Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it along
Let's move it along

And airports, see it all the time
With someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
Cause someone's coming home
In hand a single rose

That's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last, to love her

You can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons do

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first
No you won't be the first to love me

You can find me, if you ever want to give
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around, I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now

You can't love too much, one part of it(repeat)

I believe that my life's gonna see
The love I give return to me
I believe that my life's gonna see yeah
The love I give return to me.
I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give
Return to me...

also another one of my favourites is Brooke Fraser - this one is called mystery

I wanna get your words stuck in my head
I wanna touch your soul with mine
I want to always be, be by you led
Always

I wanna know that you hung the stars in the sky
So on lonely nights I would know your presence
I wanna feel your love under my skin, down through my bones

Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better
Your love endures

I wanna feel the wind and know that you're near me
And see in the seasons your mystery
I wanna feel your love flow through my veins, pound in my heart

Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better

I want to know how this could be
Yet your love remains a mystery
That's woven all the way
That's woven all the way
That's woven all the way through me

Your love endures forever
Your love changes me
Your love makes me whole, makes me better

Your love endures

 

[bubz :D]

tonic - if you could only see
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see
how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see
how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Seems the road less travelled
Shows happiness unravelled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
You're stretching out your arms
to something that's just not there
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see
how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

Bjork - "Sonnets / Unrealities XI"

i love it.

Colourblind - Counting Crows
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am
Taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine
I am fine
I am fine

 

[bubz :D]

aqualung - strange & beautiful (i'll put a spell on you)
I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart

I see

To me you're strange and you're beautiful
You'd be so perfect with me, but you just can't see
you turn every head, but you don't see me

I'll put a spell on you
you fall asleep, and
I'll put a spell on you
and when i wake you
I'll be the first thing you see
and you'll realise that you love me

sometimes the last thing you want comes in first
sometimes the first thing you want never comes
I know the waiting is all you can do
sometimes

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

^^^ Nice lyrics!!

Portishead - Glory Box

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long
Just. . .

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Thru this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over, and give us some room...yeah

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman

So don't you stop, being a man
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be, a woman
Its all I wanna be is a woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever
Its time to move over

I'm so tired, of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

(not that i watch the OC )


jem - maybe i'm amazed
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
and hung me on a line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Maybe I'm a girl and maybe I'm a lonely girl
who's in the middle of something
that she doesn't really understand

Maybe I'm a girl and maybe you're the only man
who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me understand

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you

Perfect Sonnet - Bright Eyes
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
something that would make me never want another
something that would make it so that nothing matters
all would be clear then

but I guess i'll have to settle for a few brief moments
and watch all dissolve into a single second
and try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
or one foolish line

'cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept
you are here and then you're gone
but i believe that lovers should be tied together and
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
and left there to drown
left there to drown
in their innocence

but as for me i'm coming to the final chapter
i read all of the pages and there is still no answer
only all that was before i know must soon come after
it's the only way it can be

so I stand in the sun
and I breathe with my lungs
trying to spare me the weight of the truth
saying everything you have ever seen was just a mirror
and you've spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
and now you are laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
wishing you were a ghost

but once you knew a girl and you named her lover
and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
but autumn came, she disappeared
you can't remember where she said she was going to

but you know that she is gone 'cause she left you a song
that you don't want to sing
singing I believe that lovers should be chained together
and thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
and left there to burn
left there to burn
in their arrogance
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure
i've killed myself with changes trying to make things better
ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be

now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover
and left there to sleep
left there to dream of their happiness

Sarah McLachlan - "Stupid"

Night lift up the shades
let in the brilliant light of morning
but steady there now
for I am weak and starving for mercy
sleep has left me alone
to carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong
it's all I can do to hang on
to keep me from falling
into old familiar shoes

[Chorus]
how stupid could I be
a simpleton could see
that you're no good for me
but you're the only one I see

love has made me a fool
it set me on fire and watched as I floundered
unable to speak
except to cry out and wait for your answer
but you come around in your time
speaking of fabulous places
create an oasis
dries up as soon as you're gone
you leave me here burning
in this desert without you

[Chorus]

everything changes
everything falls apart
can't stop to feel myself losing control
but deep in my senses I know

[Chorus]

 

[bubz :D]

FAKE? - chemical in me

First you didn't come out
you called it another phase
Come on come out
Now you've hidden so deep
I can't find you anywhere
come on come out
You didn't call out for me again
You didn't, you didn't call out
And I've never felt so alone

So strange, it's always the same

Oh when did you become
So cold and far away
You exist inside me
Oh empathy is ours
Don't you break away because
A chemical in me is all you will be

Have you bitten yourself
a scar that you can't repair
Come on, come out
There's no reason to think
you can't fly with broken wings
Come on, come out
I know that you can hear that serenade
You've locked yourself somewhere I can't locate
Can barely feel you crawling under my skin

So estranged...don't want you to fade away

Oh when did you become
So cold and far away
You exist inside me
Oh empathy is ours
but don't you break away because
A chemical in me is all you will be

Skunk Anansie - Secretly

I've been biding my time
Been so subtly kind
I got to think so selfishly
'Cos you're the face inside of me

I've been biding my days
U see evidently it pays
I've been a friend
With unbiased views
Then secretly lust after you

So now he's gone rusty
You're bored and bemused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

Trying hard to think pure
Bloody hard when I'm raw
You talking out so sexually
'bout boys 'n girls and your friggin' dreams
So now you feel lusty
You're hot and confused
So now you've been busted
You're caught feeling used

You had to do someone else
You should've been by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly
Secretly

 

[bubz :D]

ahh, the memories...


GREEN DAY - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
Another turning point
a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf
in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

 

[OZGIRL86]

The Corrs-Don't say you love me

I've seen this place a thousand times
I've felt this all before
And every time you call
I've waited there as though you might not call at all

I know this face I'm wearing now
I've seen this in my face
And though it feels so great
I'm still afraid
That you'll be leaving anytime

We've done this once then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more

Chorus :
Don't say you love me
Unless forever
Don't tell me you need me
If you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away

I've caught myself smiling alone
Just thinking og your voice
And dreaming of your touch
Is all too much
You know I don't have any choice

Repeat Chorus

We've done this once and then you closed the door
Don't let me fall again for nothing more

Repeat Chorus

Don't tell me you need me
If you're not gonna stay
Don't give me this feeling
I'll only believe it
Make it real or take it all away
Take it all away

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it

- the killers, smile like you mean it

How can you say your life is empty
So late in the day
Why would you stay another second
Now your sight got in the way
A combination
Of love and aggression
Another second lived
Don't paint the silence black now save me
Don't leave it a day
You got a right to stand or die so maybe
You take chances all the same
Pain comes in stages
If we dont make it
Nothing changes
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
It's the reason why your teething side frustrates me
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
It's the reason why your teething side irates me
Dont leave me to pick up on your questions
Not even a day
It's alright to finish up your sentence
You talk all the same
Pain comes in stages
if we don't make it
Nothing changes
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
It's the reason why your teething side frustrates me
Now the violence sleeps inside
Abandoned feeling for just a piece of mind
It's the reason why your teething side irates me

- south, paint the silence

Oh, and...

Pink Bullets - The Shins (can't believe I hven't posted this before)

I was just bony hands as cold as a winder pole
you held a warm stone out new flowing blood to hold
oh what a contrast you were
to the brutes in the halls
my timid young fingers held a decent animal

Over the ramparts you tossed
the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
tired to a brick, as sweet as a song
the years have been short but the days were long

Cool of a temperate breeze from dark skies to wet grass
we fell in a field it seems now a thousand summers passed
when our kite lines first crossed
we tied them into knots
and to finally fly apart we had to cut them off

Since then it's been a book you read in reverse
so you understand less as the pages turn
or a movie so crass and awkwardly cast
that even I could be the star

I don't look back much as a rule
and all this way before murder was cool
but your memory is here and I'd like it to
stay warm light on a winter's day

Over the ramparts you tossed
the scent of your skin and some foreign flowers
tired to a brick, sweet as a song
the years have been short but the days go slowly by
two loose kites falling from the sky
drawn to the ground and an end to flight


Something Pretty - Patrick Park

Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from being boring.
As for loneliness,
She greets me every morning.

At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.

At the most I’m a glare,
I’m the hopeless son who’s hardly there.
I’m the open sign that’s always busted.
I’m the friend you need, but can’t be trusted.

Eskimo Joe - this room

What ever happened to this room?
It used to be so good
But now the days pile on the door
And rain leaks through the crepe paper
We stuck up on the door

No more pictures on the wall
No more memories of holidays
We took when we were young
Two years younger then we are
Today

All i know is she's never impressed me by me

Broken bottles on the ground
Blown by the wind shattered pieces lie among the plants
Collecting water and reflecting all the sound
They are reflecting all the sound

All i know is she's never impressed by me
Makes no difference can't you see
She's the one who needs to be
All i know is she's never impressed by me
And the secret note that she wrote ... oh im special
What ever happened to this room?
