LOVE Mumford and Sons!!"Love it will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, it will set you free, be more like the man you were made to be" - Sigh No More, Mumford and Sons
"There will come a time you'll see when love will not break your heart but dismiss your fears" - After the Storm, Mumford and Sons
Me too they're my favourite band! I can't wait for their new album and their next tour (it's disgraceful I haven't seen them live yet).
Love 'em. I've seen them twice and they are beyond amazing live.
I can imagine. I first fell in love with them watching them performing at Glasto in 2010, I remember thinking that I don't think I've ever seen a more captivating live performance (and that was just on the TV!). I imagine the atmosphere at their gigs to be incredible.0 -

Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow will always keep her small
So frightened that he wont love her
She builds up a wall0 -
"You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run"
OMG! My mother played Kenny for years, until she found out he was a pervert! :laugh:0 -
Sky black and blue
Blue turn to red
There's quiet in the streets now
But it's screaming in your head
I ain't a fool
But I've got my doubts
Say it doesn't hurt
It doesn't matter anyhow, anyhow...
Hey we're just bleeding for nothing
It's hard to breathe when you're standing on your own
We'll kill ourselves to find freedom
You'll kill yourself to find anything at all

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99. Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen
would be it. The
long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the
rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my
own meandering
experience... I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh,
nevermind, you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until
they've faded. But trust
me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way
you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous
you really looked. You are NOT as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that
worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by
chewing bubblegum. The
real troubles in life are apt to be things that never
crossed your worried
mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle
Tuesday
Do one thing everyday that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't
put up with people who
are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you're
ahead, sometimes you're
behind. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with
yourself.
Remember compliments you receive. Forget the
insults. If you succeed in doing
this, tell me how.
Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank
statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do
with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
what they wanted to do
with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still
don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're
gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll
have children, maybe you
won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance
the funky chicken on
your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do,
don't congratulate
yourself too much or berate yourself either - your
choices are half chance,
so are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can... don't be
afraid of it, or what
other people think of it... it's the greatest instrument
you'll ever own.
Dance... even if you have nowhere to do it but in
your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines they will only make
you feel UGLY.
CHORUS
Brother and sister together we'll make it through.
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there.
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you.
And I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they
might be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings; they're your best link to your
past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go, but for the
precious few you should
hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
and lifestyle because the
older you get, the more you need the people you knew
when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes
you hard. Live in
Northern California once, but leave before it makes
you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths. Prices will rise,
Politicians will
philander, you too will get old. And when you do, you'll
fantasize that when
you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians
were noble, and children
respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe
you have a trust fund,
maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never
know when either one might
run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're
40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with
those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia; dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past
from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly
parts, and
recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.0 -
'cause real love and real life
doesn't have to be
Perfect
Maybe every little piece of the puzzle
doesn't always fit
Perfectly
Love can be rough around the edges
tattered at the seams
Honey if it's good enough
for you
it's good enough for me0 -

Agreed. I'm obsessed. I've had the cds in my car since about june. and listened to it pretty much non-stop every time i drive!0 -
Based on some of the drama I witness on this site, this is a lesson several women here has yet to learn
Now Honey, you can't blame her
For what her mama gave her
It ain't right to hate her
For workin' that money-maker0 -
Sunscreen Song Lyrics

Can we forget about the things I said
when I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that
I can't remember what was said or what you threw at me
Please tell me, please tell me Why
My car is in the front yard,
and I'm Sleeping with my clothes on
Came in through the window last night
And your gone
Gone
It's no suprise to me I am my own worst enemy
'Cause every now and then I kick the living **** out of me
The smoke alarm is going off,
and there's a cigarette Still burning,
Please tell me why my car is in the front yard
and I'm sleeping with my clothes on
came in through the window last night and your gone
gone please tell me why my car is in the front yard
and I'm sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
It's no suprise to me
I am my own worst enemy
'Cause every now and then I kick the living **** out of me
Can we forget about the things I said
when I was drunk
I didn't mean to call you that0 -
Currently playing:
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me0 -
You go believin' in your Lancelot
Well it's all in vain
And you're chasin' picket fences,
There's always hell to pay
I met many a girl in here
With the same story line
Them boys on those white horses
Don't know how to ride
-- Different Kind of Knight - Kane.
AMEN!
"Mother knows best" - Tangled
"I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!"

"you can't always get what you want....but if you try sometimes, you'll find...you get what you need" (Rolling Stones)
Agreed.0 -
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
