tea for one - led zeppelin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgfXPlpneyE


How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh twenty-four hours, Baby sometimes seem to slip into days
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way
Sittin, lookin at the clock, time moves so slow
I've been watchin for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more
How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way.

To sing a song for you, I recall you used to say
"Oh baby this one's for we two"
Which in the end is you anyway

How come twenty four hours, Baby sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, baby when I feel this way.

There was a time that I stood tall, In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you woman, And now I can't get back again

How come twenty-four hours, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime, Baby when I feel this way
A minute seems like a lifetime
When I feel this way...I feel this way

ten years gone - led zeppelin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV0qElny-yI

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes, rivers always reach the sea...

Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, I didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time - baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you and how it used to be...

Did you ever really need somebody, and really need 'em bad?
Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had?
Do you ever remember me, baby? Did it feel so good?
'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew you would

Do the eyes not sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to go
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave ya. I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin’ on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin’ on
Ten years gone, holdin’ on

brother - alice in chains

acoustic
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD7WCfa6a7I


Frozen in the place I hide
Not afraid to paint my sky with ...
Some who say I've lost my mind
Brother try and hope to find

You were always so far away
I know that pain
So don't you run away
Like you used to do

Roses in a vase of white
Bloodied by the thorns beside
The leaves that fall because my hand
Is pulling them hard as I can

You were always so far away
I know that pain
And I won't run away
Like I used to do

Pictures in a box at home
Yellowing and green with mold
So I can barely see your face
Wonder how that color tastes

You were always so far away
I know the way
So don't you run away
Like you used to do
Like you used to do

[TurdBerglar]

things aint like they use to be - the black keys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaHDCXWc-9U

Went around the way for you
Did all the things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
To see just open love to say

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone

But it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

someday never comes - ccr

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwNuQulK6N0

First thing I remember was askin' papa, why?
For there were many things I didn't know.
And daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'cause, someday never comes.

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When daddy went away, he said, try to be a man,
And, someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'cause, someday never comes.

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me; mama held his hand,
Sayin' someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'cause, someday never comes.

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man;
I said, someday you'll understand.

Well, I'm here to tell you now each and every mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'cause, someday never comes.


Someday never comes

wish you were here - pink floyd

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdNnw99-Ic

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green fiel
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes 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.

[TurdBerglar]

wild horses - the rolling stones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYTPZks1kR8

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

[TurdBerglar]

the day i tried to live - soundgarden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKd2KiW0Olg

I woke the same as any other day
Except a voice was in my head
It said seize the day, pull the trigger
Drop the blade, and watch the rolling heads

The day I tried to live
I stole a thousand beggar's change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs stretch
Singing

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem
To ever get us anywhere but dead

The day I tried to live
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live

I woke the same as any other day you know
I should have stayed in bed

The day I tried to win
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs

And I learned that I was a liar

One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
One more time around might do it
One more time around might make it
The day I tried to live

Just like you

[TurdBerglar]

fell on black days - soundgarden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaCD-DoOvEo

Whatsoever I've feared has come to life
And Whatsoever I've fought off became my life
Just when everyday seemed to greet me with a smile
Sunspots have faded
Now I'm doing time
Now I'm doing time
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on Black days

Whomsoever I've cured I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled I've put you down
I'm a search light soul they say
But I can't see it in the night
I'm only faking when I get it right
When I get it right
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on Black days

How would I know
That this could be my fate

So what you wanted to see good has made you blind
And what you wanted to be yours has made it mine
So don't you lock up something that you wanted to see fly
Hands are for shaking
No, not tying
No, not tying

I sure don't mind a change
I sure don't mind a change
Yeah, I said sure dont mind, I sure dont mind the change
I sure dont mind the change
'Cause I fell on black days
I fell on black days

How would I know
That this could be my fate

If you dont mind the change

the wind cries mary - hendrix

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKbf5xxfaVE

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And The Wind Cries Mary.

[Dorothy Wood]

oh man, this thread just set me off crying so hard.

are you okay?

[TurdBerglar]

yeah im pefectly fine

[Audio.]

I just notice Led Zeppelin use "Baby" a lot in their songs. Maybe in all the songs.
*Goes back to check

[TurdBerglar]

dude

no need to check

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, sad songs are the best, even when you're not sad.

[TurdBerglar]

post a sad song!

[Audio.]

hmm will try to remember. havent listen to a good one in a long while.

[Audio.]

more like a depressing song :[

Elton John - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide

And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues

Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man

Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

[mate_spawn_die]

this song always makes me feel like crying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VankucFeSFU)

[TurdBerglar]

doesn't remind me - audioslave

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi4jyS8n_Uw

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOVED
THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOST
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I DON´T WANT TO LEARN WHAT I´LL NEED TO FORGET

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOVED
THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOST
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don´t want to learn what i´ll need

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOVED
THE THINGS THAT I´VE LOST
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything

[Audio.]

Radio Head - street spirit

hmm tapping into the memory bank now.

rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
all these things into position
all these things are one to swallow whole
and fade out again and fade out

this machine will will not communicate these thoughts
and the strain i am under
be a world child form a circle before we all go under
and fade out again and fade out again

cracked eggs dead birds
scream as they fight for life
i can feel death can see it's beady eyes
all these things into position
all these things are one to swallow whole
and fade out again and fade out again.

[Audio.]

eh, I'll end it with Mad World - Gary Jules as my top fav.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

[TurdBerglar]

all apologies - nirvana

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPMyc6TPy5U

What else should I be? All apologies
What else could I say? Everyone is gay
What else could I write? I don't have the right
What else should I be? All apologies.

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
Married, buried.

I wish I was like you, easily amused
Find my nest of salt, everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy.

In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun
Married, buried
Married, buried.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah...

All in all is all we are (X20)

You're really sensitive turd.

CSN&Y - 4&20.
A friend of mine plays this tune and it always seads a chill down my spine.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvuNwH7kCCA&feature=related

Four and twenty years ago, I come into this life,
the son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor and he wasn't into selling door to door
and he worked like the devil to be more.

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so.
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know- why am I so alone?
Where is my woman can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

[Dharma]

This thread makes me want to slit my wrist.

Mazzy star's version of Wild Horses is better than the Stones.

[funk63]

Needle in The Hay by Elliot Smith is pretty depressing. And the dude killed himself so hes not just some poser.

[HEIRESS]

various stages - great lake swimmers

I have seen you in various stages of undress.
I have seen you through various states of madness.
I have seen your refractions and I did not recognize you.
I have seen you in various states of madness.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I am sorry I had nothing left for you.
My mind was willing and my spirit was strong.
My lips were tired and tightened from singing along.
My eyelids are heavy as anchors thrown over.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I have seen you in the eyes of a hundred thousand other stranger faces.
I have seen you in unlikely and unfamiliar places.
I have seen you be reckless in matters of love.
I have seen by degrees the boiling point come and go.

How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?
What lies at the end of this long and dark and twisted road?
How high your highest of heights? How low are your lows?

I have seen you in various stages of undress.
I have seen you through various states of madness.


sad banjo always get to me :/

[HEIRESS]

"good intentions" by The Dudes

I cant find the lyrics anywhere though...
though I think one time I typed them all out while I was listening to the song in the "what song..." thread.

[RoryMC]

The perfect song describing the weeks/days leading up to an eventual break-up of a relationship.

The National -- About Today

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yI6UoZXZ1A&feature=related


Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say
I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say

How close am I to losing you

Tonight you just close your eyes
and I just watch you
slip away

How close am I to losing you

Hey, are you awake
Yeah I'm right here
Well can I ask you about today

How close am I to losing you
How close am I to losing

[Randetica]

i read everything in lyrical threads but lyrics

[wanton wench]

patty griffin


"Poor Man's House"

You know you've done enough when every bone is sore
You know you've prayed enough when you don't ask any more
You know you're coming to some kind of understanding
When every dream you've dreamed has passed and you're still standing
Mama says god tends to every little skinny sheep
So count your ribs and say your prayers and get to sleep
Nothing is louder to god's ears than a poor mans sorrow
Daddy is poor today and he will be poor tomorrow

Hey that's the poor man's house
Everybody get a look at the poor man's house
Everywhere they went before must have turned them out
And now they're living in a poor man's house

There's nothing like poverty to get you into heaven
They got a lot of wine and fish up there
And the bread's unleavened
They got a lot of ears that heard a whip go crack
Lots of missing toes and fingers and scars upon their backs
Daddy's been working too much for days and days
He doesn't eat
He never says much but I think this time it's got him beat
It isn't that he isn't strong or kind or clever
Your daddy's poor today
And he will be poor forever

Tey that's the poor man's house
Those kids are living in a poor man's house
They walk to school with the soles of their shoes worn out
And come home in the evening to the poor man's house

What are you chopping that wood for
Why are you growing that corn
Mama's sewing a brand new shirt and
You're wearing the one that's torn
I guess it's for some one elses kid who wasn't born
In a poor man's house

Hey take a look at that house
Everybody we're living in a poor man's house
Seems like everywhere we go they find us out
Find out that we've been living in a poor man's house

[Junker]

The End - My Chemical Romance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdOi4QHrRiw

Their songs are so deep you know :(

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not

If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
You can find out firsthand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect you won't cry

Another contusion, my funeral jag
Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats to the penitence ball
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all!

I said yeah, yeah!
I said yeah, yeah!

C'mon C'mon C'mon I said
(Save me!) Get me the hell out of here
(Save me!) Too young to die and my dear
(You can't!) If you can hear me just walk away and
(Take me!)

Sebadoh - Cliché

Did you think I was dead inside?
There was no room to grow
And if I loved you still, I
didn't let it show

I never left you, though
I've always loved you
And you were free to leave me
If you didn't believe in me

Dumped...don't mind me
I didn't know what I had 'til it was gone
In love; so scared...couldn't stay
Cliché

I had a good time
Remember the good times
Before it had to happen
Cracked our world wide open

Dumped...don't worry about me
It wasn't up to you to set me free
There never is good time, so they say
Cliché, cliché





Lou Barlow - Legendary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5GujR1cNXQ

I know you've given all that you can give to me
I know there'll come a day I understand
Until then I'll be trying to solve your mystery
And Wonder why I couldn't make you stay

Smiling through denial , my specialty
I thought that was a good thing for a while
You gave me all your secrets were you testing me?
How could I do anything but smile?

Re–enact your legendary tragedy
And do to me what has been done to you
Is that the only point to all this misery?
Is there any reason I should cry?

Heal – takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you
Did you love me?
Did you love me?

Heal – it takes time
And you gave me all you had
I know in time I will believe
That I loved you
You loved me
You loved me.

[kaiser soze]

Lou Barlow/ Sebadoh (y)

So many tearjerkin' and headbanging tunes

From Bubble and Scrape as well

I Think (Let Tomorrow Bee)

Could I hold on, or should I hold on to you?
Ask, I'll tell the truth; there's nothing I should hide
And if I move to slow, if you're bored I need to know
I'm weak to hide inside, to force what I don't feel

If all we have is a question, there's no hope to find a future
But something in me cries for you
It feels too real this time

I think I love you, though I don't know what love means
Girl of my dreams, or a friend that one day leaves
Could I trust this when I've lied to myself before?
Will I do it all again to taste what I've imagined we could be?

Look what I've become; this pressure that we feel
In a world of possibilities, this may not prove real
But could we give enough, backed against a wall?
Too close to breathe, but too far to fall

All I ever wanted was to feel you closer to me
And it's sad to feel this resistance
What once before had felt so free

Let tomorrow bee
I can't be so impatient
Pushing every answer, when there isn't any question
Let me feel good now
And though this may have to end, I hope I'm always with you
Honestly your friend
I think I love you
