Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you'd gone
and let the world spin madly on

Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on

I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I'm standing still

Woke up and wished that I was dead
With an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
The night is here and the day is gone
And the world spins madly on

I thought of you and where you'd gone
And the world spins madly on.

"The World Spins Madly On"
The Weepies

When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I let it all out to find / that I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to lose
Just stuck / Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere i belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I was confused looking everywhere / only to find that it's
Not the way i had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I what do I have but negativity
'Cause i can't justify the
Way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to lose
Nothing to gain / Hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
Anything 'til I break away from me
And I will break away
I'll find myself today

I want to heal
I want to feel like
I'm somewhere I belong

"Somewhere I Belong"
Linkin Park

Who's lonely now? Which one of us is suffering?
Who's in his cups? Which one of us recovering?
Who likes to look at pictures and cries, but way too late?
Who doesn't want to change a thing, accepting it was fate?

The wrong man was convicted,
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me,
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And waits for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction,
The judgment's my mistake

Who's breathless now? Who only hyperventilates?
Who'd die for you? Who's dying inside anyway?
Which one of us is sunshine and which one's growing dim?
When two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him?

The wrong man was convicted,
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me,
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And waits for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction,
The judgment's my mistake

Who's lonely now? Who's reaching out to no one?
Who's lonely now? It takes one to know one.

I changed my mind; you said that I could change it back
I wanted space, and now change has fallen through the cracks
If I'm again beside your body, don't tell me where it's been
It's cruel, unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin

The wrong man was convicted,
You know I did the deed
I thought that you would wait for me,
Your wants I needn't heed
The wrong man lies beside you
And waits for you to wake
And all because I lacked conviction,
The judgment's my mistake
It's my mistake
It's my mistake
It's my mistake

"The Wrong Man Was Convicted" BNL from MYSD their finest cd

She's a wonderful lady
and she's mine all mine
And there doesn't seem a way
that she won't come and lose my mind
It's too easy humming songs
to a girl in yellow dress
It's been a long time since the party
and the room is in a mess

The four kings of E.M.I.
are sitting stately on the floor
There are birds out on the sidewalk
and a valet at the door
He reminds me of a penguin,
with few and plastered hairs
Talcum powder on the letter
and the birthday boy is there

Why don't you cut your hair?
Why don't you live up there?
Why don't you do what I do,
See what I feel when I care?

Now they've darkened all the windows
And the seats are naugh-a-hyde.
I've been waiting for an hour,
I can't find a place to hide.
The being known as Wonder Girl
Is speaking I believe.
It's not easy tryin' to tell her
That I shortly have to leave.

Why don't you be like me?
Why don't you stop and see?
Why don't you hate who I hate,
Kill who I kill to be free.

"Randy Scouse Git" Micky Dolenz/Monkees

I'm the guitar guy at the party,
I'm the guitar guy and I think I'll drink a Coke and Bacardi,
It might seem like I'm just havin' fun,
but I'm actually not,
I'm trying to sleep with your girlfriend,
listen to me as I play this song,
cause I'm gonna play it regardless,

I'm only playin' three chords,
so I can make eye contact,
with different women in the room,
I'm gonna try and sleep with your girlfriend,
but I'm gonna make it sound like we have a really special bond,
and we should keep it secret…

You know, I think your boyfriend really takes you for granted.
When was the last time he told you your eyes look like space crystals?
If you wanna come by my place later,
it'd be cool.
It's not gonna be like last time.
I totally understand why that freaked you out.

Maybe if I play Free Fallin' then,
someone'll give me a handjob,
or maybe they'll just sit on my lap,
and the friction will cause me to have an erection,
an erection I'll make sure that you won't feel,
cause I'm classy,
And I'm gonna shift it to the left,
and I'm gonna shift it to the right,
and I'm gonna create a mental image in my head,
like guys in prison taking a group shower.

Here's my story,
I'm gonna make sure that I tell it in the proper order,
I went to arts camp as a kid and I,
I played the recorder.
Then I learned that recorders are for losers,
and guitars get chicks and,
now when i feel like a loser,
I take this out and sing Wonderwall by Oasis.

I play mostly covers,
Cat Stevens and Beatles and a couple of others,
I do some original songs too but they're not as well received…
"Christ is God, Christ is God"
(listen to his "Oatmeal Song" for that last line to make sense <g>)

But I still want that handjob,
cause I'm the guitar guy,
I'm the guitar guy,
I'm the guitar guy,
I'm the guitar guy…

"The Guitar Guy at the Party"--Mike Birbiglia

(Bonus link to the song, not recommended for work due to "erection" lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQQcD4iIAA4)

You're 17, evil and mean
Comfy and cozy, nowhere seen
You can’t deny the loser inside
All of your bad tastes won't subside

You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You dress funny, strapless and skin tight
You're outta sight
You keep me up at night
You make me crazy, wear it out of spite
Ban the tube top tonight

You're magical, mystery girl
Tick tock ya don't stop rockin' my world
You give high fives to all the guys
You let me know that I'm alive

There's a party that w'’re not invited to
But I don't care because I hate everyone in school
I ignore all the girls but you

Hey hey hey hey

Beautiful girl, ugly shirt
You are a fashion red alert
But I can't resist, you've never been kissed
I've never been in love like this

Ban the tube top
ban the tube top
ban the tube top…tonight!

- Reel Big Fish, "Ban the Tube Top"

Well there's too many windows
In this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside…

Gonna pull in the shutters
On this heart of mine
Roll up the carpets and pull
In the blinds
And retreat to the chambers that
I left behind
In hopes there still may be
Love left to find
Still may be love left to find.

Seek inspiration in daily affairs
Now you soul is in trouble
And requires repairs
And the voices you hear at the
Top of the stairs
Are only echoes of unanswered prayers
Echoes of unanswered prayers.

Well there's too many windows
In this old hotel
And rooms filled with reckless pride
And the walls have grown sturdy
And the halls have worn well
But there is nobody living inside
Nobody living inside…

Dan Fogelberg "Heart Hotels" 

Hello again, hello
Just called to say 'hello'
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home
Hello

Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head
We've been thru it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear

Hello, my friend, hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say
Hello

Hello, my friend, hello
Just called to let you know
I think about you every night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello

"Hello Again"  Neil Diamond

(This is for all you sophisticated ladies out there)

She grew up in the city in a little subdivision,
Her daddy wore a tie, Momma never fried a chicken,
Ballet, Straight A’s, Most likely to succeed

They bought her a car after graduation
Sent her down south for some higher education
Put her on the fast track to a law degree

Now she’s comin home to visit
holdin the hand
Of a wild-eyed boy
with a farmer’s tan

And shes ridin in the middle of his pickup truck
Blarin Charlie Daniels yellin, “Turn it up!”
They raised her up a lady
but there’s one thing they couldn’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

(You know its true)

Yeah, you know momma’s and daddy’s want better for their daughters
Hope they’ll settle down with a doctor or a lawyer
In their uptown, ball gown, hand-me-down royalty

They never understand
why their princess falls
For some camouflage britches
and a southern boy drawl

Or why she’s ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Hank Jr. yellin, “Turn it up!”
They raised her up a lady
but there’s one thing they couldn’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

(oooh, get country with it)

You can train ‘em
You can try to teach ‘em right from wrong
But it’s still gonna turn ‘em on

When they go ridin in the middle of a pickup truck
Blarin Lynyrd Skynyrd yellin, “Turn it up!”
You can raise her up a lady
but there’s one thing you jus can’t avoid
Ladies love country boys

They love us country boys
Ooooooh yeah
It's that country thing you know

Trace Adkins- Ladies love country boys

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 in loops til 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

"You Could Be Happy" ~ Snow Patrol

Nibblin' on sponge cake,
watchin' the sun bake;
All of those tourists covered with oil.
Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing.
Smell those shrimp
They're beginnin' to boil.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know it's nobody's fault.

Don't know the reason,
Stayed here all season
With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
But it's a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie, how it got here
I haven't a clue.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.

I blew out my flip flop,
Stepped on a pop top,
Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home.
But there's booze in the blender,
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt.
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's my own damn fault.
Yes, and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault.

Margaritaville…Jimmy Buffett

Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine, if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winters so cold, summers over too soon
So let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
We've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand
Until you hold my hand

"Swing Life Away" ~ Rise Against

I never made time,
You never made much sense
We never stood a chance,
If we're honest.

You were not the first,
And I won't be the last,
But if it makes it better,
Well you can call me what you will.

Get home late,
No one's here.
Pace around the house
And sit in my chair.

And if you think of me,
It doesn't mean a thing.
So why don't you just tell me
What you really think again?

I don't care what you call me
Because it won't hurt any more.

I know I let you down,
And Christ, you let me know
Every time
And time again.

Just another afternoon
Get drunk and disappear
So call me what you will

Rain it on down.
What else can you throw at me
I haven't heard before?

And tear me on down.
I am unforgivable.
So why don't you just tell me
What you really think of me?

And scream me on down
I am so forgettable
Yes, I know.

And shoot me on down
Don't you think this isn't killing me?
But it's no more than I deserve.

I don't care what you call me.
Because it won't hurt any more.

David Ford, "I Don't Care What You Call Me"

Sprung…. I seriously *heart* that song by Rise Against…. I wish I could even begin to explain how much I love that song LOL

We’re not the same dear as we used to be
The seasons have changed and so have we
And there was little we could say and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you

We buried our love in a wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by it’s side as the days turned to weeks
As the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we’d speak

And when spring arrived we were taken by surprise
When the floes under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me

We’re not the same dear and it seems to me
There’s nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
And it saddens me to say what we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you.

"The Ice is Getting Thinner"
Death Cab for Cutie

If you do not own this cd, Narrow Stairs, get it.

Ever since we said our goodbyes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

In the morning open your eyes
The water falls, the fire flies
You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake
I'm adrift without a snowflake

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

"Adrift" ~ Barenaked Ladies

might be one of the best and saddest songs they ever did….

Hang in there girl….*hugs*

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two..two…two..
Sleepless nights
Losing ground
I'm reaching for you….you…you

Feelin' that it's gone
Can change your mind
If we can't go on
To survive the tide…..love divides

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our seperate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our seperate ways

Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain..pain…pain.
Distant eyes
Promises we make were in vain…in vain..in vain.

If you must go, I wish you love
You'll never walk alone
Take care my love
Miss you love

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our seperate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched
And went our seperate ways

I still love you girl
I really love you girl
And if he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
No - No -

Separate Ways   Journey

It always seemed that I was sorry for the things that I did,
But never did a thing about it 'til I let you in.
It's kinda funny about the time that I was falling apart.
You came and put me back together, now.

'Cause what I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering.
As days go by,
I've finally become what you want me to be.

I still remember all the stupid things that I've said and done,
But still, you stuck around with me when all your friends said, "Run!"
Givin' me a name, I found myself inside all the flames.
Becoming everything for you again.

What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering.
As days go by,
I've finally become what you want me to be.

Don't tell me you saw it all along.
God help me, I never knew it alone.
Guess I was wrong.

What I want
And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering.
As days go by,
I've finally become what you want me to be.

And what I need
Has now become the same thing
You've been offering.
You've taken me,
And shaped me to become what you want me to be.

"What I Want"...Daughtry

Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue
Thought i heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the tv and the radio
Still i can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say,
Where is the life that i recognize?
Gone away…

But i won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world,
Somehow i have to find.
And as i try to make my way, to the ordinary world…
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say,
Where is my friend when i need you most?
Gone away…

Ordinary World Duran Duran
