One, two, three, four

Little yellow spider, laughing at the snow
Well maybe that spider knows something that I don't know
'Cause I'm goddamn cold

Little white monkey, staring at the sand
Well, maybe that monkey figured out something I couldn't understand
Who knows?

Well, I came upon a dancing crab, and I stopped to watch it shake
I said, "Dance for me just one more time
Before you hibernate and you come out a crab cake"

And hey there, little snapping turtle, snapping at a shell
Ah, there's mysteries inside, I know
But what they are I just can't tell for sure

And hey ya, little baby crow, you're looking kind of mean
I think I oughta spit before you start letting off your steam
For sure

And hey there, little sexy pig, you mated it with a man
And now you're got a little kid with hooves instead of hands

And oh, all of the animals
All of the animals

And hey there, little mockingbird, they sing about you in songs
Ah, where you been? Have you broke a wing?
I haven't heard you in so long

And hey there, little albatross, swimming in the air
Ah c'mon, you know I can't fly
And I, I think we really oughta play fair

And hey there, Mr. happy squid, you move so psychadelically
You hypnotize with your magic dance all the animals in the sea
For sure

And oh, all of the animals
All of the animals

And hey there, Mr. morning sun, what kind of creature are you?
I can't stare, but I know you're there
Goddamn, how I wish I knew

And hey there, Mrs. lovely moon, you're lonely and you're blue
It's kind of strange, the way you change
But then again, we all do too

The Donnie Darko lyrics are some of the saddest I've ever heard.

John Butler Trio and Cat Empire write good lyrics.

I think she means that Mad World song. But the lyrics aren't really all that "sad"...

Darkthrone - Rust

I come from a land
of systematic erasure of optimism and positiveness
You don't want to encourage me

Slowly corroding your fortified norm
Leaving you bitter, grim and sober

With rigid cramp or silent fear
I strangle what you do hold dear
With rigid cramp or silent fear
evoking addiction, limp, severe

It's sin again
Like charcoal on flaming nuns
Consistence unknown like early black metal

We're born without armor -
don't you think I'm watching my back ?!

With rigid cramp or silent fear
I strangle what you hold dear
With rigid cramp or silent fear
evoke addiction; limp; severe

this is the place you'll end up when you lose the chase
where you’re dragged against your will
from a basment on the hill
and all anybody knows is you're not like them
and they kick you in the head
and send you back to bed
isolation pulled you passed a tunnel to a bright world
where you can make a place to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
the mayor’s name is fear
his voice patrols the pier
from a mountain of cliche
that advances everyday
the doctor spoke of cloud
he reigned out loud
"you'll keep the doors and windows shut
and sware you'll never show a soul again"
but isolation pushes you ‘til every muscle aches
down the only road it ever takes
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
your little house on memory lane
if it's your decision
to be open about yourself
be careful or else
be careful or else
I'm comfortable apart
it's all written on my chart
and i take what's given me
most cooperatively
i do what people say
and lie in bed all day
absolutely horrified
i hope you're satisfied
isolation pushes past self-hatred, guilt and shame
to a place where suffering is just a game
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
you're little house on memory lane
youre little house on memory lane

coz i still absolutely adore this song


savage garden - truly madly deeply

i'll be your dream
i'll be your wish
i'll be your fantasy
i'll be your hope
i'll be your love
be everything that you need

i'll love you more with every breath
truly madly deeply do
i will be strong
i will be faithful
coz i'm counting on
a new beginning
a reason for living
a deeper meaning yeah

i wanna stand with you on a mountain
i wanna bathe with you in the sea
i wanna lay like this forever
until the sky falls down on me

and when hte stars
are shining brightly
in the velvet sky
i'll make a wish
send it to heaven
then make you want to cry

the tears of joy
for all the pleasure
in the certainty
that we're surrounded by
the comfort and protection of
the highest powers
in lonely hours
the tears devour you

(chorus)

oh can you see it baby
don't have to close your eyes
coz it's standing right before you
all that you need will surely come...

You've got a way with words
You've got a way that makes me feel so complicated
Your message meets the floor
The horizon meets your horse and your deliberated
I'm only clearing my throat

Don't u eva wish for just one thing you might never see
Don't u eva wish for just one thing you might never know
You might never know

You've got a way with words
You've got a way that makes me feel so complicated
A wall keeps you from me
You'd raise the door just so you could find the key
The wolves are waiting

Don't U Eva wish for just one thing you might never see
Don't U Eva wish for just one thing you might never know
You might never know

I'm underground
As the words just spin around
and you hunt them down
try to pin them to the ground
there will be no sound
as the words just tumble out
and you won't be found
by the time you hit the ground

You've got a way with words
You've got a way with words
You've got a way with words
(with words, with words, with words)

Don't u eva wish for just one thing you might never see
Don't u eva wish for just one thing you might never know
You might never know
(Dont u eva wish for, dont u eva wish for)
You might never know
(Dont u eva wish for, dont u eva wish for)
Oh you might never know

i cried so badly after hearing this song. thanks stitchy.




athlete - wires

you got wires, going in
you got wires, coming out of your skin
you got tears, making tracks
i got tears, that are scared of the facts

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you, got to see this through
i see hope is here, in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

you got wires, going in
you got wires, coming out of your skin
there's dry blood, on your wrist
your dry blood, on my fingertip

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you, got to see this through
first night of your life, curled up on your own
looking at you now, you would never know

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright

i see it in your eyes
i see it in your eyes
you'll be alright
alright

running down corridors
through automatic doors
got to get to you, got to see this through
i see hope is here, in a plastic box
i've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

down corridors, through automatic doors
got to get to you, got to see this through
first night of your life, curled up on your own
looking at you now, you would never know...

Great party, where's Sally?
Have you seen her rhinoplasty?
I'm seeing her doctor,
he's going to make me a star.

I will be chart topping,
my name you should be dropping,
my friends all adore me.
How could you just ignore me?

Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?
Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?
Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?




Great party, where's Timmy?
He's smoking crack with Billy.
Those guys are so funny,
they're making so much money.

It's so cool to be a star,
I'm shining here in my car.
You'll wave as I go by,
pretend you know who we are.

Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?
Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?
Hey you!
Don't you know who I am?
(repeat)

"Fathers' Pyramid" - powderfinger

Born into peace
Born into ignorance
My family gave me strength
Bonding my brothers

And the war was her enemy
Shed her mother's tears
Broke her mother's heart
Broke their feeble bond

And I'm stripped from my love
Could you find me a cure
Stone by stone I build
For my fathers'

Born into peace
Grown to respect the other
My religion gave me strength
More than a bond

And the law was her enemy
Bred her brother's fears
Sparked his call to arms
To force himself upon

And I'm stripped from my love
Could you find me a cure
Stone by stone I build
For my fathers' ohh pyramid
My fathers' pyramid
My fathers' I build

Stone by stone by stone

so you dont want to hear about my good song?
and you dont want to hear about how i am getting on
with all the things that i can get done
the sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
so you don't want to hear about my good day?
you have better things to do than to hear me say

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took out the trash today and i'm on fire...

so you don't want to hear about my good friends?
you dont have the guts to take the truth or consequence
success is in the eye of the beholder
and its looking even better over your cold shoulder

i'm not suggesting you up and line me up for questioning
but jesus think about the bridges you are burning
and i'm betting
that even though you knew it from the start
you'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart

so go ahead and talk about your bad day...
i want all the details of the pain and misery
that you are inflicting on the others
i consider them my sisters and i'd like their numbers

god its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i took up croquet today and i'm on fire

i picked up the pieces of my broken ego
i have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
but i'd love to have you up to see the place
& i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to rub it in your face.....

hey! its been a lovely day! everything is going my way
i had so much fun today and i'm on fire
god it's been a lovely day everything's been going my way
ever since you went away hey i'm on fire.....
i'm on fire...
i'm on fire...
so you dont want to hear about my good day?

Dare you to move - Switchfoot

Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

I'm not going to be bothered finding the lyrics but the song Zombie by The Cranberries touches me, even though I'm not Irish. It's about the IRA and the violence in Northern Ireland.

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go :
you gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know.

This is our last embrace,
must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.

Kiss me, please,
Kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know,
it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.

Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying,
"maybe... you didn't know him at all."

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

and don't you ever wish for

youve got a way that makes me feel so complicated
