But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold Too long 'cause they all explode Like Roman candles https://youtu.be/AE7Tt3gw8Aw?si=m1ymCcB39F5cWdvP |
‘And when feeling came up on me like a tidal wave.
I started swearing to my God and on my mother’s grave I’d love you til the end of time I swore I’d love you to the end of time So now I’m praying for the end of time To hurry up and arrive Cause if I’ve got to spend another minute with you I don’t think that I can really survive I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow But God only knows what I can do right now 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’ |
“I know that I could be a movie star, if I could get out of this place” |
Tongue tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I ... |
“The same sun that melts the wax can harden clay…
And the same rain that drowns the rats will grow the hay… And the mighty wind that knocks us down —when we lean into it, will drive our fears away.” |
And the sound of happy couples
Coupling happily in the dark While you and I sat down to tea I remember you said to me That no amount of poetry Would mend this broken heart But you can put the Hoover 'round If you want to make a start All my friends from school Introduce me to their spouses While I'm left standing here With my hands down the front of my trousers I just don't know what's to be done I wonder sometimes how did dad meet mum And how did they conceive of me Tell me Mary -Billy Bragg |
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I will |
The courage of a dreamer
The innocence of youth The failures and the foolishness That lead us to the truth The hopes that make us happy The hopes that don't come true And all the love there ever was I see this all in you You are part, part of the human heart You are part Of all who took the journey And managed to endure The ones who knew such tenderness The ones who felt so sure The ones who came before you The others yet to come And those who you will teach it to And those you learned it from You are part, part of the human heart |
+1 Honestly this is the best. But this song has a few more too… “Time for you to go out to the places you will be from…” is so an anthem to the 20-somethings with their whole fit Ites in front of them… |
Someday
When I’m awfully low When the world is cold, I will feel a glow Just thinking of you…. And the way you look Tonight |
How long baby have I been away?
Oh, it feels like ages, though you say it's only days |
“You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be, and I don’t want to go home right now.” |
Make me confused
Mock me with praise Let me be used Vary my days |
I'll stop the world and melt with you |
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I'm still right here What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way - Nine Inch Nails, Hurt (I prefer Johnny Cash cover) |
