THE WHO 'The Seeker' I've looked under chairs I've looked under tables I've tried to find the key To fifty million fables
They call me The Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die I asked Bobby Dylan I asked The Beatles I asked Timothy Leary But he couldn't help me either They call me The Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die People tend to hate me 'Cause I never smile As I ransack their homes They want to shake my hand Focusing on nowhere Investigating miles I'm a seeker I'm a really desperate man I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die I learned how to raise my voice in anger Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile? I'm happy when life's good And when it's bad I cry I've got values but I don't know how or why I'm looking for me You're looking for you We're looking in at each other And we don't know what to do They call me The Seeker I've been searching low and high I won't get to get what I'm after Till the day I die    IP: Logged |

The Who....one of the best shows i've ever seen.  Here's ....probably, my most fave. http://youtube.com/watch?v=UBs8taB0vWU Only love Can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea Only love Can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers Laying in the fields. Love, Reign o'er me Love, Reign o'er me, rain on me Only love Can bring the rain That makes you yearn to the sky Only love Can bring the rain That falls like tears from on high Love Reign O'er me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spend apart alone I need to get back home to cool cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain  gives me the chills You shoulda seen them do it live.

What have we done with innocence It disappeared with time, it never made much senseAdolescent resident Wasting another night on planning my revenge One in ten, One in ten, One in ten Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench All this time to make amends What do you do when all your enemies are friends? Now and then I'll try to bend Under pressure wind up snapping in the end One in ten, One in ten, One in ten Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench One last thing before I quit I never wanted any more than I could fit Into my head I still remember every single word you said And all the sh!t that somehow came along with it Still there's one thing that comforts me Since I was always caged And now I'm free Don't want to be your monkey wrench One more indecent accident I'd rather leave than suffer this I'll never be your monkey wrench Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out) Don't want to be your monkey wrench ~ dave grohl

url=http://youtube.com/watch?v=ia22V6QlM24]All on boooooard that traaaaain[/url]  Marrakesh Express Crosby, Stills & Nash Looking at the world Trough the sunset in your eyes Trying to make the train To clear Moroccan skies Bugs and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall American man is five foot tall and you
Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen up to what's been said to you Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express All on board that train I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair Take a train to Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my m,m,m,m,mouth Cold coffins hang in the square Charming corporals in the square Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express (X2) They're taking me to Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express (X2) They're taking me to Marrakesh All on board that train (X3)

Crosby, Stills and Nash - Marakesh Express/Blackbird..... Blackbird - The Beatles Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Black bird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh You were only waiting for this moment to arise

(I think this guy knows what its like.) The Who "Behind Blue Eyes"
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool If I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat If I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_1RqyNdzbE&feature=related

Difficult to dance round this one 'Til you pull it out, boy You must have been so high You must have been so high Steal, borrow refer Save your shady inference Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent Now you weep and chase the chosen indigo Get lemon juice up in your eye When you ****** all over my black kettle You must have been high, high You must have been high, high Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it Eyeballs deep in muddy waters ******* hypocrite Liar, lawyer Mirror show me, what's the difference? Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent Now, you weep and chase the chosen indigo Get lemon juice up in your eye, eye When you ****** all over my black kettle You must of been So who are you to wave your finger? Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me? You must have been out your mind Weeping shades of indigo Trapped without a reason Weeping shades of indigo Liar, lawyer, mirror For you what's the difference? Kangaroo be stoned He's guilty as the government Now, you weep and chase the chosen indigo Get lemon juice up in your eye, eye Now when you ****** all over my black kettle You musta been high, high, high, high Eyeballs deep in bloody waters Eyeballs deep in muddy waters Ganja please, you must have been out of your mind IP: Logged |

The Good Life "Needy" You never fell for me, You fell for how it felt You fell for being held, So, who’s gonna fill in Now my arms refuse to bend? Who’s gonna fill in…. And who’s gonna fill the days with me, With Canadian Club and old movies? Well we don’t know what we want, but we’re both needy. But what do we need, really?
I never follow through, I fall into the groove – The boy and girl routine So, who’s gonna fill in Now the suspect fled the scene? Who’s gonna fill in… And who’s gonna spend the nights with you Once the bars close down and the city sleeps… We don’t know what we want, but we’re both needy, But what do we need really? And lately I’ve been living on my own… And I’ve ****** up so many times I’m better off alone. IP: Logged |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pp38SR1lMU I love this version, except for the dimwitted part where he spells limp bizkit (or whatever), but actually, since I just misspelled it 3 times trying to type it and finally had to look at the video page, it's probably a necessary thing. :P IP: Logged |

But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la... I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake. But why all this hate? Try to communicate. Finding trust and love is not always easy to make. la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la... This is a happy end cause' you don't understand everything you have done why's everything so wrong this is a happy end come and give me your hand I'll take your far away.

have these first few lines stuck in my head today. LITTLE GREEN Joni Mitchell Born with the moon in Cancer Choose her a name she will answer to Call her green and the winters cannot fade her Call her green for the children who've made her Little green, be a gypsy dancer  He went to California Hearing that everything's warmer there So you write him a letter and say, "Her eyes are blue." He sends you a poem and she's lost to you Little green, he's a non-conformer CH0RUS: Just a little green Like the color when the spring is born There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow Just a little green Like the nights when the Northern lights perform There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow Child with a child pretending Weary of lies you are sending home So you sign all the papers in the family name You're sad and you're sorry, but you're not ashamed Little green, have a happy ending CHORUS: Just a little green Like the color when the spring is born There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow Just a little green Like the nights when the Northern lights perform There'll be icicles and birthday clothes And sometimes there'll be sorrow  IP: Logged |

Can't remember if I've posted this here yet... Thick as Thieves ~ Dashboard Confessional Would it kill you to breathe easy? Only 17 miles lay between you and me I could make it if I had to I don't break easily You got my council, thick as thieves If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret For there's only trace amounts left in your blood You may be a sinner But you may be justified Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right Will it kill me to breathe? Not as easy as you think it is Between you and me, I could fake it if I have to I don't break easily I need your council, thick as thieves I have no crime to keep a secret It was hers, it was not mine Well I may be a sinner, But it wasn't me this time Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right Well, listen to yourself There is a hemmorage in your mouth It won't stop bleeding Well, you may be the trigger I will hold the smoking gun You'll get away clean I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me And I will never tell a tortured soul there burning by my side That I am a sinner I am a savior I am a lie So keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right IP: Logged |

Both Hands ~ Ani DiFranco I am walking out in the rain and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again and I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let it go and I can't get through... the old woman behind the pink curtains and the closed door on the first floor she's listening through the air shaft to see how long our swan song can last and both hands now use both hands oh, no don't close your eyes I am writing graffitti on your body I am drawing the story of how hard we tried I am watching your chest rise and fall like the tides of my life, and the rest of it all and your bones have been my bedframe and your flesh has been my pillow I am waiting for sleep to offer up the deep with both hands in eachother's shadows we grew less and less tall and eventually our theories couldn't explain it all and I'm recording our history now on the bedroom wall and when we leave the landlord will come and paint over it all and I am walking out in the rain and I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again and I am getting nowhere with you and I can't let it go and I can't get though So now use both hands please use both hands oh, no don't close your eyes I am writing graffitti on your body I am drawing the story of how hard we tried hard we tried how hard we tried IP: Logged |
