[SlowwHand]

Triple Shot Thursday, Staind

Excess Baggage

Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you

And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom
From you

And I'm eaten alive by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I can't easily hide
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
Until I'm not alive

When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?
I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you

I'm so sick of this place
This taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can't figure what I'm all about
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
'Til I'm not alive
------------------------------------------------------------

Open Your Eyes

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a ****
That your daughters are porno stars
and Your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do ?

You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the cold rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?
----------------------------------------------------------------

Waste

You mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

How could you paint this picture?
With life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

WELL FUK THEM!
AND FUK HER!
AND FUK HIM!
AND FUK YOU!
For not having
The strenght in your heart
To pull through!
I've had doubts!
I have failed!
I've fuked up!
I've had plans!
Doesn't mean
I should take
My Life

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

But these words
The don't replace
The life you...
THE LIFE YOU WASTE

Pulp - Common People (Extended Lyrics)

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at St Martin's college
That's where I....
Caught her eye

She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola."
She said "Fine,".....
And then in thirty seconds time she said

"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."

Oh what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
So it started .... there
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
But she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny."
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here

Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people
You want to sleep with common people like me?"

But she didn't ... understand
She just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all yeah

You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what ever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view

And then dance, and drink, and screw
Because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool.

Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out.

They'll tear your insides out

`cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stain and grease will come out in the bath

You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why.

Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
Watching .... roaches climb the wall
If you called your Dad he could stop it all, Yeah.

Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
Never watch your life .... slide out of view

And then dance, and drink, .... and screw
Because there's nothing else to do...

Weezer
Island In The Sun

When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel that anymore


On an island in the sun
We'll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel that anymore


We'll never feel that anymore
No no
We'll never feel that anymore
No no

GIMME LITTLE SIGN
Brenton Wood

If you do want me, gimme little sugar
If you don't want me, don't lead me on girl
But if you need me, show me that you love me
And when I'm feeling blue and I want you
There's just one thing that you should do

Just gimme some kind of sign girl
Oh my baby
To show that you're mine girl
Oh yeah

Just gimme some kind of sign girl
Oh my baby
To show that you're mine girl
All right

If you do want me, gimme little sweet talk
If you don't want me, don't lead me on girl
But if you need me, show me that you love me
And when I'm feeling down, wearing a frown
You be there when I look around
(repeat chorus)

Otsegolation by Static x

if we gain by severance
we gain most of all
annihilate your kindness
twisting those involved
scene of revolution
scenes of your destruction
we are desolation
we are isolation
feel it coming again
feel don't care at all
feel it coming again
feel
isolation

Weak and Powerless by A Perfect Circle

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so
Desperate and Ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom
Desperate and Ravenous
So weak and powerless over you
Hello angel go away
Come again some other day
Devil has my inner deal
Little hero what'd you say
Promised I would find a little solice and some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so
Desperate and Ravenous
So weak and powerless
Desperate and Ravenous
So weak and powerless over you
Over you

[SlowwHand]

Some of Shelley’s Blues
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Tell me, just one more time, the reason why you must leave;
Tell me once more why you’re sure you don’t need me
Tell me again but don’t think you’ll convince me.
You said, about fallin’ in love again you’d rather be dead;
When someone breaks your heart you cry your eyes red
There’s nothing so hard about the life that you’ve led.
As far as I can see, there’s no reason for goodbye,
You’re just running scared, and that’s something I won’t buy.
So you lose, I won’t let you go, there’s nothing to show but more blues
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you
As far as I can see, there’s no reason for goodbye
You’re just running scared, and that’s something I won’t buy.
So you lose, I won’t let you go, there’s nothing to show but more blues.
All this talk about leaving is strictly bad news
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.
So you settle down and stay with the boy that loves you.

[Sprayber]

Ran across an old favorite of mine today. Listening to the song makes me want to get as drunk as I can. One of those songs that brings back memories.


Tuesdays Gone
--------------------------
Performed By: Hank Williams JR.
Written By: Collins, Van Zant



Train roll on, on down the highway
Please take my problems away
I feel the wind blow, just outside of my door
Lord took my woman today

Tuesday's gone, with the wind
My baby's gone, with the wind
Train, roll on...

And I don't know, where I am goin'
I really want to be, left alone.
Train roll on, I'm many miles from my home
Somehow I got to carry on... (but it's hard Lord)

Tuesday's gone, with the wind
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
My girl's gone, with the wind
Train, roll on..
Take her home

Tuesday's gone, with the wind
With the wind
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
Tuesday's gone, with the wind
My womans gone with the wind
Train roll on
Take her home

Well Tuesday you see, well she had to be free,
And she is free

[cinch]

Peggy Day (Bob Dylan)

Peggy Day stole my poor heart away,
By golly, what more can I say,
Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.

Peggy night makes my future look so bright,
Man, that girl is out of sight,
Love to spend the day with Peggy night.

Well, you know that even before I learned her name,
You know I loved her just the same.
An' I tell 'em all, wherever I may go,
Just so they'll know, that she's my little lady
And I love her so.

Peggy Day stole my poor heart away,
Turned my skies to blue from gray,
Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.

Peggy Day stole my poor heart away,
By golly, what more can I say,
Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.
Love to spend the night with Peggy Day.

Husker Du - The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill

There's a girl who lives on Heaven Hill
I go up to her cabin still
She keeps a lantern lit for me
And a bottle up on her mantelpiece

She's the girl who lives on Heaven Hill

She's got a big room and it's always a mess
Worn out shoes and a worn out dress
A worn out smile that she'll wear some more
And a worn out welcome mat by her door

I'd trade big mountains and rooms full of gold
For just one look at the beauty of this woman's soul
Up on Heaven Hill is where I wanna be
That girl that bottle that mattress and me

[*End Is Forever*]

The Juliana Theory - Constellation

Some things can never be explained
Why every sky remains the same
And I wonder how my world would look without you

Some things can never be explained
Like how our scars remain the same
And I wonder how the sky would look without my star

Sleep seems a dream away
And a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream off my face

And I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
You're my everything

Some things can never be explained
Why does your love remain unchanged
'Cause i know it wouldn't be the same without you

Sleep seems a dream away
And a year too late
Words that can't be spoken stream off your face

And I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
I want to be selfish
You're my everything

Please don't forget my name
And take me with you when you leave
I've got a lot to lose
I've got to let it go

Please don't forget my name
Please don't forget my name
Please don't forget my name...

Runrig - Dance Called America

The landlords came
The peasant trials
To sacrifice of men
Through the past and that quite darkly
The presence once again
In the name of capital
Establishment
Improvers, its a name
The hidden truths
The hidden lies
That once nailed you
To the pain

They did a dance
Called America
They danced it round
And waited at the turns
For America
They danced their ladies round

To the candles
Of enlightenment
Once lit they say don't burn
To turn the darkest room of suffering
To a greater state of pain
Don't tell me that's behind you now
Don't greet me
Don't meet your dying blind
It's our very last stand together
So lets sever
No regrets

(Chorus)

There were days
That once held confidence
Strength of will and mind
The camouflage that once washed your fathers
Your sons and daughters time

Another tongue
My love, my island
You've gone international
With all the praying men of God
Who stood
And watched it all go on

(Chorus)

[SlowwHand]

Sweet Talkin' Woman
Electric Light Orchestra


I was searchin' on a one-way street
I was hopin' for a chance to meet
I was waitin' for the operator on the line

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down
Sweet talkin' woman
You got me runnin'
You got me searchin'
Hold on sweet talkin' woman
It's so sad if that's the way it's over

I was walkin' many days gone by
I was thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights
Communication break down all around me

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus)

I've been livin' on a dead-end street
I've been askin' ev'rybody I meet
Insufficient data comin' through

(She's gone so long)
What can I do
(Where could she be)
Oh no, no don't know what I'm gonna do
I gotta get back to you
(repeat chorus)

[C0ckney]

plummet - damaged (original radio edit)

Dreaming comes so easily
Cause it's all that I've known
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged
So how would i know

I'm scared
And I'm alone
I'm ashamed
And I need for you to know

I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
But you can't take back
What you keep taking away
Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
(repeat)

Feeling comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
many won't get close to me
I'm damaged
As I'm sure you know

I'm scared
And I'm alone
I'm ashamed
And I need for you to know

I didn't say all the things I wanted to say
But you cant take back
What you keep taking away
Cause I feel you
I feel you, near me
(repeat)

There is nothing before my soul
and into this fear
forgiveness for a man
who is stronger
i was just a little girl
but i cant go back

I can't go back
(x7)

I must go on
(x4)

death in vegas ft. liam gallagher - scorpio rising

When you kiss the base o'my spine
Make my body into your shrine
You give me this feeling deep inside
One that I can no longer disguise
While other snakes just shed their skins
****ed holes pointing out my sins
Even though I realise that history's not on my side
Even though I realise the pioneer skin still curls up in my eyes

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more

Flying high upon the gallows
Too messed up to step out of the shadows
A drugged up heart that knows no sorrow
Rescued from this deep dark hole
Stick on these boots and sharpen the nails
Time is nigh for you leather girls
Maybe we should end this race
Vanish while we cannot leave no trace

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me, but now I'm blind
See one-arm film stars on alien beaches
Potted gold and tattooed faces
Harrison murals on the corner, tupperware boxes full of hops
Diazepam dreams there catching streams
Paper dinosaurs flash blue and green
Still I've got a flash-bulb head
Still I've got a flash-bulb head

If I don't go crazy, I'll lose my mind
I saw a life before me but now I'm blind
I wanna go to heaven, never been there before
I wanna go to heaven, so you give me some more

Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head
Come along nice, come along dead
Scorpio rising, and paint it red
A psychic equalizer in your head..

[Clear Skies]

Phil Collins - Colours

Deep inside the border
Children are crying
Fighting for food
Holding their heads
Breaking their bread with a stone

All along the roadside
people are standing
watching the sun
shielding their eyes
Brushing the flies from their face

Tell me, what can you say
Tell me, who do you blame
Like a mirror you see yourself
These people each have a name

All around the township
Young men are dying
(of) hunger and thirst
The well has run dry
The tears from her eye feeds her son

Tell me...

You can say you're pulling back
We see the pictures everywhere
But what we don't see is what's
Going on behind the closed doors
And you don't seem to care

Do you expect me to believe you
How can you really think
You can take your horse down to the water
Hold a gun at his head
And make him drink

No matter what you say, it never gets any better
No matter what you do, we never see any change

People living without rights
Without their dignity
How loud does one man have to shout
To earn his right to be free

You can keep your toy soldiers
To segregate the black and white
But when the dust settles
And the blood stops running
How do you sleep at night?

No matter what you say...

What makes you so high and mighty
What makes you so qualified
You can sit there and say
How many have their freedom
But how many more have died

You decide to sit in judgement
Trying to play God yourself
Someday soon the buck is gonna stop
Stop with you and no one else

No matter...

[Clear Skies]

Dido - White Flag

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I'll tell you that
But if I didn't say it
Well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of 'It's over'
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
(And I'm sure we will)
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be...
