Now We Become Part of It - Break and Repair Method

We're dancing past the sensible roads
Trying our luck with the great unknown
we're trouncing all the best ideas we've got
We're taking pride in teh types of mistakes
Cause everyone knows
It's the way you fall that counts

And how it turns is just the way it turns out
And all we can do is follow along
And watch you grow up
Right or wrong, we'll make it up

We're throwing all the safety away
Trusting in what we can bring these days
We're making it a point to feel unsure
And if you get further away
When you turn around you'll know
We'll still be there

(chorus)

All around the world
Take us all around the world
Show us what it means to be alive
Don't worry that we won't be enough
we'll fall in line
We'll jump at the chance to wing it

All around the world
Take us all around the world
Show us what it means to be alive
When nothing we could say
Will ever feel quite the same
The world is spinning on it's own
And now we become part of it

Grapevine Fires - Death Cab for Cutie

When the wind picked up
the fire spread
and the grapevine seemed left for dead.
And the northern sky looked like the end of days,
the end of days.

A wake up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
To warn us it's only a matter of time.
Before we all burn
before we all burn
before we all burn
before we all burn.

We bought some wine and some paper cups
near your daughter's school when we picked her up
and drove to a cemetery on a hill,
on a hill.

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
as she laughed and danced through the field of graves,
there i knew it would be alright
that everything would be alright,
would be alright
would be alright
would be alright.

And the news reports on the radio
said it was getting worse
as the ocean air fanned the flames.
But i couldn't think of anywhere i would have rather been
to watch it all burn away,
to burn away.

The firemen worked in double shifts,
with prayers for rain on their lips,
and they knew it was only a matter of time.

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

Saving Grace- Tom Petty

I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so

I'm flyin' over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below

And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?

You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace

I'm moving on alone over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins
There's a guard on every door
And a drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand amens

And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?

You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace
Don't you baby?

You're rolling up the carpet
Of your father's two-room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more
And there's a corner of the floor
They're telling you is yours
You're confident but not really sure

And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby?

You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace

Don't you baby?

You keep running for another place
to find that saving grace

Don't you baby?

Craig Armstrong feat. Evan Dando ~ Wake up in New York

Wake up in New York
Put a comb through your hair
Don't you ever want to lie down
When there's no-one else around
I want to say this to you
I know I hurt you
You know you hurt me too
Don't you ever want to lie down
Close your eyes and leave the ground ?
I want to get hold of you
I'll meet you in New York
By the drugstore on First Avenue
And then we will lie down
With the buildings all around
I want to say this to you
I want to say this to you


It's so beautiful! Smiler


~*~*~*~*These are the lifetimes that make up generations *~*~*~*~


Miss you, Dad. Frowner R.I.P.

------------- if music be the food of love - play on! --------------

The difference between us is way down on the inside.

Violet Hill ~ Coldplay Smiler

was a long and dark December
from the rooftops I remember
there was snow
white snow

clearly I remember
from the windows they were watching
while we frozed
down below

when the future’s architectured
by a carnival of idiots
on show
you’d better lie low

if you love me
won’t you let me know?

was a long and dark December
when the banks became cathedrals
and the fog
became god

priests clutched onto bibles
hollowed out to fit their rifles
and the cross
was held aloft

there in me an armour
when I’m dead and hit the ground
loves a poem
that unfolds

and if you love me
won't you let me know?

I don't wanna be a soldier
with a captain of some sinking ship
with snow
far below

if you love me
why'd you let me go?

I took my love down to violet hill
there we sat in the snow
all that time she was silent still

so if you love me
won't you let me know?
if you love me
won't you let me know?

Cannonball

She was a pretty girl ‘til she met that man
She was too young to care or even understand
He was a cannonball rollin’ down a dead end road
He had his hands in the fire but his blood ran cold

Her Father cried out in a bible beatin’ town
Drove his fist through the wall and threw his good book down
He said forgive me Lord for what I’m feelin’ right now
But when I find that man I’m gonna lay him in the ground
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

It was the headline story on the six o’clock news
A father seeks justice in a motel room
It seems a man of the cloth just lost all control
And after takin’ a life he tried to take his own
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

The church bells rang in a sleepy little town
But on that day it was a lonesome sound
Under a bed of flowers she was gently laid
And the devil laughed while the angels sang
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Clueso - Augen zu

Immer nur das Schlechte sehen geht schnell
Beweg mich gern frei wenn ich was tu
und damit eckt man an, wird angebellt
Augen zu
Dreh mich lieber um und die Musik auf
Es tut so gut mal nichts zu tun
Ich stell auf laut und nicht auf taub
Augen zu

Und ich sing mit
Bababa uhh, Bababa yeah
Und ich sing mit
Bababa uhh, Bababaa

Selbst wenn ich recht hab, ich nehm‘s aufs Korn
Weil Lächeln ansteckt genau wie Wut
Lass mich nicht vergiften von all dem Zorn
Augen zu
Ich dreh mich lieber um und die Musik auf
Es tut so gut sich auszuruhn
Von all dem
Ich stell auf laut und nicht auf taub
Augen zu

Und ich sing , sing mit
Bababa uhh, Bababaa yeaah
Und ich sing mit
Bababa uhh, bababaa

Erinner mich lieber an die unkomplizierten, kleinen Momente, dann wenn gar nichts los ist
Erinner mich lieber an die unkomplizierten, schönen Momente
Die man so schnell vergisst
Die man so leicht vergisst
Die man so schnell vergisst

Und ich sing, sing mit
Bababa uhh, Bababaa …

Fury In The Slaughterhouse - Radio Orchid

There’s an old lady living in an old house
Since her husband died she hasn’t been out
She lives in her own world with her own little nightmares
And she stopped counting the days

She buys a radio station with her husbands legacy
She does her own show ten hours a day
Plays poems and listens let’s feelings run free
Helps people talk the pain away

So if your world falls down
Can’t see the light of day
Call the lady call the station today
And listen

This is radio orchid listen and cry
To all the others that suffer and die
This is radio orchid listen and cry
Take your lonely heart and let it fly

Sending her message she’s solving the problems
Of millions and millions but who solves hers?
The old lady gets older still lives in the old house
But when she dies we’ll all live alone

Trouble- Cat Stevens* The video is a Cover unknown

Trouble
Oh trouble set me free
I have seen your face
And its too much too much for me

Trouble
Oh trouble cant you see
Youre eating my heart away
And theres nothing much left of me

Ive drunk your wine
You have made your world mine
So wont you be fair
So wont you be fair

I dont want no more of you
So wont you be kind to me
Just let me go where
Ill have to go there

Trouble
Oh trouble move away
I have seen your face
And its too much for me today

Trouble
Oh trouble cant you see
You have made me a wreck
Now wont you leave me in my misery

Ive seen your eyes
And I can see deaths disguise
Hangin on me
Hangin on me

Im beat, Im torn
Shattered and tossed and worn
Too shocking to see
Too shocking to see

Trouble
Oh trouble move from me
I have paid my debt
Now wont you leave me in my misery

Trouble
Oh trouble please be kind
I dont want no fight
And I havent got a lot of time


~Kat

can't get enough of them

KOL - Use Somebody

I've been roaming around
Always looking down at all I see
Painted faces, build the places I cant reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you, And all you know, And how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night, while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around,
Always looking down at all I see



.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
you are missed

Broken ~ Lifehouse


The Broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain
There is healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I'm holdin on)(I'm holdin on)
I'm barely holding on to you

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
They're still looking for life

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (In the pain)
Is there healing
In your name
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I'm still holdin on)(I'm holdin on)
(I'm still holdin on) (I'm holdin on)
I'm barely holding on to you

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what, you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on, to the words you say
You said that I will, will be okay
The broken light on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
But I haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating
In the pain (In the pain)
There is healing
In your name (In your name)
I find meaning
So I'm holding on (I'm still holdin')(I'm holdin' on)(I'm still holdin') (I'm holdin' on) (I'm still holdin')
Barely holding on to you (I'm still holdin on)
Barely holdin on to you

Drops of Jupiter - Train



Now that shes back in the atmosphere
With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that theres time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that shes back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that theres time to grow, hey, hey

Now that shes back in the atmosphere
Im afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know youre wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way








i wanted to stop on (cuz i said i would) and give you guys a yell FROM rob, on this six year anniversary of the rob yell. you guys have to be the best fans ever! Rt Big Grin

~ I'm Southern, I am polite. But I also have a switch, and the second that switch goes, I completely go to 'Fuck you.' ~ RT-Rolling Stone

eh..it's been one of those days....

Square One -Tom Petty

Had to find some higher ground
Had some fear to get around
You can't say what you don't know
Later on won't work no more

Last time though I hid my tracks
So well I could not get back
Yeah my way was hard to find
Can't sell your soul for a peace of mind

Square one
My slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble
It tool a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here

Try so hard to stand alone
Struggled to see past my nose
Always had more dogs then bones
I could never wear those clothes

It's a dark victory
You won and you are so lost
Told her you were satisfied
But it never came across

Square one
My slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble
It tool a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here

Square one
My slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble
It tool a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here

Square one
My slate is clear
Rest your head on me my dear
It took a world of trouble
It tool a world of tears
It took a long time to get back here
