Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

There are things that I said I would never do

There are fears that I cannot believe have come true

For my soul is too sick and too little and too late

And my self I have grown too weary to hate

The more I stay in here

The more it's not so clear

The more I stay in here

The more I disappear

As far as I have gone

I knew what side I'm on

But now I'm not so sure

The line begins to blur

Is there somebody on top of me?

I don't know I don't know

Isn't anybody stopping me?

I don't know I don't know

Well I'm trying to hold my breath

I don't know I don't know

Just how far down can I go?

I don't know I don't know I don't know

As I lie here and stare

The fabric starts to tear

It's far beyond repair

And I don't really care

As far as I have gone

I knew what side I'm on

But now I'm not so sure

The line begins to blur

[Haydos]

Brand New - Soco Amaretto Lime

Passed out on the overpass

Sunday best and broken glass

Broken down from the bikes and bars

Suspended like spirits over speeding cars

You and me were kings over the parkway tonight

And tonight will go on forever while we

walk around this town like we own the streets

and stay awake through summer like we own the heat

Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"

(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)

And when I pass the bottle back to Pete

on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)

So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)

And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)

cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)

to anyone about anything (new bracelet)

cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

The hell out of this town

Find some conversation

The low fuel lights been on for days

It doesn't mean anything

I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles

before we shut this engine down,

we shut it down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)

So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)

And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)

cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)

to anyone about anything (new bracelet)

cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)

Eighteen forever (first kisses)

(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)

So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)

(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)

And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)

(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)

cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)

And we'll never have to listen (November to...)

(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)

to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)

(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)

and it's all been said (nightswimmers)

(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get.

Always reminds me of 16-19 kinda time. Tune.

Three songs, one heartfelt, one twee and lovely and one from the greatest comendy concept album of all time:

Glasvegas - It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry :

Let the raining teardrops rain down on me tonight

i think making up, faking up stories is alright

tick tock stop the clock, fiction is my thing

my attitude is always i and me and mine

oh I’m so clever, I'm so clever, I'm so clever

until my paranoia kicks in then I’ll accuse her

of doing all the worst things i do best

its funny how me ****ing her about

has got me in this ****ing mess

liar liar liar liar pants on fire

lies alibis lies more alibis

from the truth, i admit I’m more than shy

ain’t it the times we are living in

everybody’s doing it so why cant I?

i tally up tonight’s strangers

and stragglers that I’ve kissed

training ground notches, perfectly executed notches

and near misses

its all about going out and getting pissed with eagle eyes

and sincerity bottom on my list

what’s the story morning glory?

i feel so low and worthless, yeah

so this is where the outcome unfurls and the truth is being told

a cloud has gathered over my head and now i know

infidelity and my good friend ecstasy doesn’t work, it makes you worse

I’m feeling so guilty about the things i said to my mum when i was ten year old

I’m feeling so guilty about any old shit

and how i think my missus is ****ing every guy that she looks at

this is it, this is it, this is it, this it

the end was always coming and now its here

so this is the grand finale

the crescendo of demise

this is the happy ending

where the bad guy goes down and dies

this is the end

with me on my knees and wondering why?

cross my heart, hope to die

its my own cheating heart that makes me cry

Hefner - A Better Friend:

There’s no reason to be bored when,

a face like yours is adored by all men.

Your making up for lost time,

and your best ideas were mine.

At the age of twenty seven,

you realised your bed was empty.

A child is what I need but your face is all I see.

Those bruises don’t betray any violence on my part,

You’ve taken my possessions and your dressing like a tart,

but it’s miserable and sluttish to be acting like I do in front of you.

No matter how you try you’ll never be as cheap as me,

When people have got no-one else they can always sleep with me,

and no-one else could be a better friend to you than me.

It’s not love it just smells like it,

the scent of summer is so exciting.

No matter how you brush your teeth,

I can still smell the nicotine.

And there’s no face I’d rather kiss than,

your sweet face, oh when it’s smiling.

I loved you until you were bedded,

and our parents still talk of a wedding.

Those bruises don’t betray any violence on my part,

You’ve taken my possessions, we’re both dressed up like tarts,

but it’s miserable and sluttish to be acting like I do in front of you.

No matter how you try you’ll never be as cheap as me,

When people have got no-one else they can always sleep with me,

and no-one else could be a better friend to you than me.

Well, that's my two penneth.

Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches

I was sitting, on the roof of my house

With a shotgun and a six pack of beer

The newscaster says, "The enemy is among us"

As bombs explode on the 30 bus,

Kill your middle class indecision,

Now is not the time for liberal thought,

So I go hunting for witches

I go hunting for witches

Heads are going to roll

I go hunting for..

1990's,Optimistic as a teen.

Now it's terror , airplanes crash into towers

The Daily Mail says the enemies among us,

Taking our women and taking our jobs,

All reasonable thought is being drowned out

By the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood

So I go hunting for witches

I go hunting for witches

Heads are going to roll..

I go hunting for..

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires

I watched TV, it informed me

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires

There must be accountability

Disparate and misinformed

Fear will keep us all in place

So I go hunting for witches

I go hunting for witches

Heads are going to roll..

I go hunting for..

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires

I watched TV, it informed me

I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires

There must be accountability

Disparate and misinformed

Fear will keep us all in place

Does a brilliant job of portraying the fear-mongering policy of modern society.

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Wont be to most's tastes, but...

In this world I owe nothing to no one

Live by the days or however your money's spent

Talent's such a common thing

But I haven't seemed to find mine yet

I've ridden my insecurities

All the way to a place called destiny

I'm not looking for an apology

I've realized no one feels a bit like me

So don't you say, I told you so

I'm not a fool, I just know what I know

I've crawled on my hands and my knees

To find a place that fits me

I've been ashamed, I've failed, felt pathetic

It should have broke me, but I wouldn't let it

Don't let anyone tell you:

"It's not where you're from, it's (where you're at)"

I've spent my life escaping and I always wind up (coming back)

I've spent my whole life searching to find everything is fake

Gotta say that I'm not sorry, not sorry that I can't relate

I love how bleak and on point the last few lines are

[RobHawk]

Can't beleive nobody has mentioned Neil Young!! Great guitarist but has some lyrical masterpeices in there as well.

Keep on Rocking in the Free world, Needle and the damage done, Old man, heart of gold, ohio, the list goes on! all genius!

Im also a big fan of bright eyes who is a great songwriter, bowl of oranges is great!

I know the thread was started with dylan but im suprised their isnt more of him mentioned in here as well!!

And going back even further buddy holly was a great songwriter of his time and likewise with Eddie Cochrane, Summertime Blues is an all round master piece!

[Dickie Greenleaf]

Good call on Shakey

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Lets just forget,

Everything we said

Everything we did.

Best friends, and better halves...

Goodbyes

And the autumn night, when we realized

We were falling out of love...

(the words that)

(there was something)

But we never did

Not to be, overly dramatic...

I just think its best

Because you cant miss what you forget

So lets just pretend

Everything and

Anything, between you and me

Was never meant

Was Never Meant

When emo was emo and not complete shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.

Swagger Jagger - Cher Lloyd.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Swagger Jagger - Cher Lloyd.

I think I prefer that Friday song to that. At least that was an innocent enough attempt, you can tell so much effort has been put into that Lloyd song and it's hideous.

Bint.

If you are going to copy something, at least make it something half decent....

Jesus H. Christ.

[Babylon]

Jesus H. Christ.

I think I need someone to translate what she's actually saying because I have absolutely no idea... Can anyone speak rat faced chav?

Can't wait for the scummy 14 year olds to have it pumping through their phones on the bus to work.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Haha!

Never understood the fuss when she was on the X Factor tbh, really don't think she can sing. What the fuck is a 'Jagger' for a kick off?!

[MikeyT]

I forget whether i already posted this and cannot be bothered to check.

Don Mclean - Empty Chairs

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night

Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright

Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane

Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would

Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face

While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case

And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head

A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would

Never thought the words you said were true

Never thought you said just what you meant

Never knew how much I needed you

Never thought you'd leave, until you went

Morning comes and morning goes with no regret

And evening brings the memories I can't forget

Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs

And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs

And I wonder if you know

That I never understood

That although you said you'd go

Until you did I never thought you would

[The Doctor]

Haha!

Never understood the fuss when she was on the X Factor tbh, really don't think she can sing. What the **** is a 'Jagger' for a kick off?!

a rolling stones vocalist with an alleged history of drug abuse?

also a jaguar/tiger cross breed.

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Dig the ditch Dig the ditch of destiny

With the spade, with the spade of apathy

Your digging boots will stay clean

Until you realize where you've been

Its not what you do that says who you are

The way you do it is who you are

As long as the clock keeps ticking, you'll go

wherever the wind blows

As long as there's life worth living, you'll go

Wherever you go

Build the wall build the wall of loneliness

With the brick, with the brick of hope and trust

your aching hands will curl up

Then you'll realize what you've done

Its not what you do that says who you are

The way you do it is who you are

As long as the clock keeps ticking, you'll go

wherever the wind blows

As long as there's life worth living, you'll go

Wherever you go

As long as they're beating the drums

Then the race isn't won

Until you've opened your eyes

On your ordinary life

If the clock keeps ticking you'll go

Wherever the wind blows

As long as the clock keeps ticking, you'll go

wherever the wind blows

As long as there's life worth living, you'll go

Wherever you go

As long as they're beating the drums

Then the race isn't won

Until you've opened your eyes

On your ordinary life

If the clock keeps ticking you'll go

Wherever the wind blows

As long as the clock keeps ticking, you'll go

wherever the wind blows

If the clock keeps ticking you'll go

Wherever the wind blows

I'm the scatman

Bada bwi ba ba bada bo

(More Scatting)

Everybody stutters one way or the other

So check out my message to you

As a matter of fact

Don't let nothing hold you back

If the scatman can do it

So can you

Everybody says that the scatman stutters

But doesn't ever stutters when he sings

But what you don't know

I'm gonna tell you right now

That the stutter and the scat is the same thing

Yo, I'm the scat man

Where's the scat man? I'm the scat man.

Why should we be pleasing any politician heathens who would

Try to change the seasons if they could

The state of the condition

Insults my institution

And it only makes me crazy and my heart like wood

Everybody stutters one way or the other

So check out my message to you

As a matter of fact

Don't let nothing hold you back

If the scatman can do it, brother

So can you, I'm the scat man.

Bada bwi ba ba bada bo

Everybody stutters one day or the other

So check out my message to you

As a matter of fact

Don't let nothing hold you back

If the scatman can do it

So can you

I hear you ask all about the meaning of scat

Well I'm the professor and all I can tell you

Is while you're still sleeping

The saints are still weeping

'Cause things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born

I'm the scatman

I'm the scatman

Ski bi di bi di do bap do

Do bam do

Bada bwi ba ba bada bo

Baba ba da bo

Bwi ba ba ba do [x2]
