I'm an Elton John super fan! Lol
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe4 -
I love Florence + the Machine and I could listen to All This and Heaven Too on repeat for hours. The voice, the lyrics, the passion! To see it live is a joy I would love to repeat
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of it's own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
And prayers and proclamations in the grand days
Of great men and the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps
But with all my education
I can't seem to commend it
And the words are all escaping me
And coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I only knew how, I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me in tiptoes
And sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
But with all my education
I can't seem to commend it
And the words are all escaping
And coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I only knew how I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
No, words are a language
It doesn't deserve such treatment
And all my stumbling phrases
Never amounted to anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe
Such a feeling as I'm healing, words were never so useful
So I was screaming out a language
That I never knew existed before1 -

You put a wall in my way and I'll break it
You got something to say
I can take it
Did you think that a few little words would
Take (me)
Break (me)
I don't care
(Oh) I still believe
There is something here for me
(Oh) As long as I breathe
[Chorus:]
No, I will never surrender
No, I will fight forever
No, there is no turning back from here
I will never surrender2 -
I got a dirty picture of what could have been my future
In a Prophet pushin' day dreams on a corner for a fee
And the wino lookin' lonely at a bottle gettin' empty
And a hungry lookin' junkie huntin' tea and sympathy
And I bet that junkie's laughin' at the life he threw away
Slowly smokin' himself broke on eighty cigarettes a day
Pleadin' down the Prophet to a price that he can pay
And writin' words that no one's gonna see but the juicehead who said
Every empty bottle is my private crystal ball
And I stare into the future findin' nothin' there at all
The Junkie and the Juicehead (Minus Me)

A candle casting a faint glow
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you hear the thunder that's breaking?
Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can't you see that you're lost?
Can't you see that you're lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that's breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you1 -

And a serious one
We've been over and all through it
Now we're finaly going to do it
And it's tougher then I thought it ever be
I wish that I could hate her
If only I could break her
To see the world the way I want it seen
And its likely she would say the same of me
When my load gets a whole lot lighter
And my head gets screwed on tighter
And the time they say is required passes by
When I won't belong to her no more
And I can tear my eyes from the closing door
It's then I'll know for sure that I'll survive
We had monentary glances, second and third chances
And in between they always dissappear
Now I find myself accepting that we've gone in two directions
And I question where the hell I go from here
When the sky above me is going to clear
When my load gets a whole lot lighter
And my head gets screwed on tighter
And the time they say is required passes by
When I won't belong to her no more
And I can tear my eyes from the closing door
It's then I'll know for sure that I'll survive
The hardest part of letting go
Is that it ain't so cut and dry
You do the thing thats hard to do
And you tell yourself its right
And then you second guess yourself
And as you lie alone at night
And wonder how you ever said goodbye
When my load gets a whole lot lighter
And my head gets screwed on tighter
And the time they say is required passes by
When I won't belong to her no more
And I can tear my eyes from the closing door
It's then I'll know for sure that I'll survive

"This life is more than just a read-through" - RHCP1

I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind
She said, "Babe, I'm sorry but I'm crazy tonight"
She got a black shirt, black skirt
And Bauhaus stuck in her head
I'm in deep with this girl but she's out of her mind

I think it’s time for a change
Cause things feel out of touch
And I watch you walk away, again
Well this feels like too much
(Can you take it away?)
And things won’t go my way
Now I’ll have to fade away, my friend
So pass slowly
And carry me down
And render me lonely
When you’re not around
I need to shake off this pain
But courage takes too much
So I have to walk away, again
Oh God I miss your touch
(Can you take it away?)
The way that you keep me safe
I won’t let you fade away, my friend
So pass slowly
And carry me down
Remember me only
When you’re not around
Oh yea, can’t you stay awhile longer?
Oh yea, won’t you stay?
God please stay
And pass slowly
(It’s time for a change)
And whittle me down
(Cause things feel out of touch)
And render me lonely
(I’ll watch you walk away, again)
When you’re not around
So pass slowly
(This feels like too much)
And let me down easy
(And things won’t go my way)
Render me lonely
(I’ll have to fade away, my friend)
When you’re not around1 -

Uh! Apple-pen!
I have a pen, I have Pineapple
Uh! Pineapple-pen!
Apple-pen, Pineapple-pen. Uh!

Do you hum that on your head now? Lol
I haven't stopped signing it
Do you do the dance as well? Those moves are hypnotizing1 -

You can choose a ready guide
In some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide
You still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears
And kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose free will

I never meant to get us in this deep
I never meant for this to mean a thing
Oh, I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I got caught up by the chase
And you got high on every little bit
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
I miss the way you wanted me
When I was staying just out of your reach
Begging for the slightest touch
Ooh, you couldn't get enough, mmm
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
Wish you were the one that got away
Got away from me
Got away from me
For anybody has to breathe
Oh, if I could go back in time
When you only held me in my mind
Just a longing, gone without a trace
Oh, I wish I never ever seen your face
I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one
Oh, I wish you were the one
I wish you were the one that got away

AUGUST BURNS RED-"MEDDLER "
We'll feed our flame before wasting time on everyone else's. The gallows were not supposed to look like this. Oh God, we live in misery, lying here in desperation. We need You here more than anything right now...right now!1 -
"Happy Returns" by Steven Wilson. I listened to it for the first time and it gave me pause because I am one of the people the song is describing. And his voice alone makes me feel like crying.
Hey brother, happy returns, it's been a while now
I bet you thought that I was dead
But I'm still here, nothing has changed
Hey brother, I'd love to tell you I've been busy
But that would be a lie
Cos the truth is the years just pass like trains
I wave but they don't slow down
Hey brother, I see the freaks and dispossessed
On day release
Avoiding the police
I feel I'm falling once again
But now there's no one left to catch me
Hey brother, I feel I'm living in parentheses
And I got trouble with the bills
Do the kids remember me?
Well I got gifts for them,
and for you more sorrow
But I'm feeling kind of drowsy now
So I'll finish this tomorrow0 -
This piece of Garth Brooks' "The River"
So don't you sit there on the shoreline
and say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
Dare to dance the tide1 -
Would you take the wheel, if I loose control? If I'm lying here, will take me home?1

"When It's Time"
Words get trapped in my mind
Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do
'Cause the first day you came into my life
My time ticks around you
But then I need your voice
As the key to unlock
All the love that's trapped in me
So tell me when it's time
To say I love you
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand
It's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
But there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you
All I want is you to understand
That when I take your hand
It's 'cause I want to
We are all born in a world of doubt
And there's no doubt
I figured out
I love you
And I feel lonely for
All the losers that will never take the time to say
What was really on their mind instead
They just hide away
Yet they'll never have
Someone like you to guide them
And help along the way
Or tell them when it's time to say, "I love you"
So tell me when it's time to say "I love you"0
