How are you feeling... in song

[Alja-Markir]

Heeeeyyy Jackboot
Fuck your war
Cause I'm fat and in love
And no bombs are falling on me for sure
But I'm scared to death
That I'm living a life not worth dying for

~TV On The Radio - Red Dress (THE GLITCH MOB Remix)~

[plummeting_sloth]

There's a fire in the hearth, the stockings are hung ever so carefully against the soft twinkling of the tree. An almost empty mug of hot chocolate sits on floor next to me, and a large, hairy dog slumbers at my feet. I'm eating a sugar cookies and drinking some mulled wine and the moon is shining brightly through the skylight.

Now, for the only time this season and only for a few moments, I feel like any Christmas carol.

Michael Ball - Losing my mind
The sun comes up, I think about you.
The coffee cup, I think about you.
I want you so
It's like I'm losing my mind.


The morning ends, I think about you.
I talk to friends and think about you.
And do they know
it's like I'm losing my mind.


All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me
or were you just being kind?
or am I losing my mind?


I want you so...
All afternoon doing every little chore
The thought of you stays bright
Sometimes I stand in the middle of the floor
Not going left, not going right.
I dim the lights and think about you
Spend sleepless nights to think about you
You said you loved me
or were you just being kind?
or am I losing my mind?

[General Michi]

When I look in the sex thread this song plays in my head

From the moment you said
"why haven't you kissed me yet?"
I knew I'd wipe that paint from your lips
I stare the lids off your eyes,
gone down on your dirty mind
and end up between your hips
Handfuls of sweat tangled hair,
Anytime, anywhere
I wanna lick you too much baby
I just play all alone,
whispering for your moan
Forced to crawl down this line,
Just to touch

I can get in
I can't get out
I can get in
I can't get out

I'm just sweating my sheets
I hate to see you leave,
but I love to watch you go baby
Twisted secret lives,
the way you bat your eyes
Givin' head, givin' head

Watch you come from above
I'm so needy for love,
I'm desperate,
Greedy in slavery

I sneak around from behind
I got a one track mind
We got a skin on skin thing baby

I wanna lick you too much,
I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin' ooh aaaah baby
I wanna lick you too much,
I wanna lick you too much
I hear you comin' ooh aaaah yeah

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide

So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star?

Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

All of us under its spell
We know that it's probably magic...

Have you been half-asleep?
And have you heard voices?
I hear them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors?
The voice might be one in the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers, and me

[Merrymaker_Mortalis]

Do I love you? Or the thought of you?

Just A Thought

All I want is your understanding
As in the small act of affection
"Why is this my life?"
Is almost everybody's question

And I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind

I prefer peace
Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession
But essentially I'm an animal
So just what do I do with all the aggression?

Well I've tried
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind

Life is a one-way street, and if you could paint it
I'd draw myself going in the right direction
So I go all the way - like I really really know -
But the truth is I'm only guessin'

And I've tried
Everything but suicide
Ooh but it's crossed my mind
Just a thought

It's even dark in the daytime
It's not just good - it's Great Depression
When I was lost I even found myself
Looking in the gun's direction

And so I've tried
Everything but suicide
But yes - it's crossed my mind
But I'm fine

[Master Gunner]

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets I've had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has not
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way

Yes it was my way

[auberginequeen]

Can't say I'm in love with a "girl" at the moment but I still think this song expresses my feelings otherwise. Plus this thread needs a revival.

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel all right is by your side

Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day, and all of the night
All day, and all of the night
All day, and all of the night

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and night I'm yours, leave me never
The only time I feel all right is by your side

Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day, and all of the night
All day, and all of the night

Oh, come on!

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and night I'm yours, leave me never
The only time I feel all right is by your side

Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day, and all of the night
All day, and all of the night
All day, and all of the night

[auberginequeen]

Sorry to double-post but it's been a couple days. This time it's about me.

Spin your body around
Now your feet are gonna hit the ground
I am going sleepless
And you're out of lullabies

Honey, honey, honey
You're the death of me
Won't stop holding my hands down
Baby, baby, baby, you never let me...

You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss

You want my lo-o-o-o-ove
My lo-ove
My lo-o-o-o-ove
You want my lo-ove

Everybody's breaking
Every time you start shaking
Don't come calling my name
Everybody's falling
Every time you come-a-calling
I want you to know...

Honey, honey, you were the first one
Darling, darling, around my door
Honey, honey, you'll never let me...

You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss

You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss

You want my lo-o-o-o-ove
My lo-ove
My lo-o-o-o-ove
You want my lo-ove

Always turning back to you
'Til you never let me down
Loving your illusion
Staring at a crooked crown

(Ah ah ah)
You always let me down...
(Ah ah ah)
You always let me down...
(Ah ah ah)
You always let me down...
(Ah ah ah)

You want my lo-o-o-o-ove
My lo-ove
My lo-o-o-o-ove
You want my lo-ove

Honey, honey, honey
You're the death of me
Honey, honey, honey
Will you ever see?

The winter had passed
And the spring has come
We have withered
And our hearts are bruised from longing

(i’m singing my blues)
Used to the blue tears, blue sorrow
(i’m singing my blues)
The love that i have sent away with the floating clouds, oh oh

Under the same sky, at different places
Because you and i are dangerous
I am leaving you
One letter difference from ‘nim’^
It’s cowardly but i’m hiding because i’m not good enough
Cruel breakup is like the end of the road of love
No words can comfort me
Perhaps my lifetime’s last melodrama
Now its final curtain is coming down

I was born and i met you
And i have loved you to death
My cold heart that has been dyed blue
Even with my eyes closed, i can’t feel you

The winter had passed
And the spring has come
We have withered
And our hearts are bruised from longing

(i’m singing my blues)
Used to the blue tears, blue sorrow
(i’m singing my blues)
The love that i have sent away with the floating clouds, oh oh

I feel like my heart has stopped beating
You and i, frozen there, after a war
Trauma, that has been carved in my head
Once these tears dry up, i will moistly remember my love
I’m neither painful nor lonely
Happiness is all self-talk
I can’t stand something more complicated
It’s no big deal, i don’t care
Inevitable wandering, people come and go

I was born and i met you
And i have loved you to death
My cold heart that has been dyed blue
Even if you have left, i’m still here

(i’m singing my blues)
Used to the blue tears, blue sorrow
(i’m singing my blues)
The love that i have sent away with the floating clouds, oh oh

Again tonight, underneath that blue moonlight
I will probably fall asleep alone
Even in my dreams, i look for you
And wander around while singing this song

(i’m singing my blues)
Used to the blue tears, blue sorrow
(i’m singing my blues)
The love that i have sent away with the floating clouds, oh oh

(i’m singing my blues)
Used to the blue tears, blue sorrow
(i’m singing my blues)
The love that i have sent away with the floating clouds, oh oh

Another aborted attempt to go to a club. When will my friends ever learn:

[auberginequeen]

Outside our little garden gate
Far over the hill and down
The bright road
The long white road goes winding
Through the town

I often peep between the bars
When I am tired of play
I wish that I could follow it
Some happy summer day

[CtMolloy]

Try to tell myself I'm still holding on
To all the dreams inside, though they never seemed quite real
Now pain has clouded distant memories
Salted wounds that just won't heal

Life is a lie
Everything I thought I knew is gone
Hard to face another day
Life is a lie
All I ever wanted was the truth...

[empath]

♫They invented a reason
That's why it stings
They don't think you matter
Because you don't have pretty rings
I keep telling you I don't care
I keep saying there's one thing they can't change

I'm your moon
You're my moon
We go round and round
From out here, it's the rest of the world that looks so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are

Let them shuffle the numbers
Watch them come and go
We're the ones who are out here
Out past the edge of what they know
We can only be who we are
It doesn't matter if they don't understand

I'm your moon
You're my moon
We go round and round
From out here, it's the rest of the world that looks so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are

Who you were
Long before
They said you were
No more

Sad excuse for a sunrise
It's so cold out here
Ice and silence and dark skies
As we go round another year
Let them think what they like, we're fine
I will always be right here next to you

I'm your moon
You're my moon
We go round and round
From out here, it's the rest of the world that looks so small
Promise me
You will always remember who you are
It's the rest of the world
That looks so small

Promise me
You will always remember
Who you are♫


I love you.

I will ALWAYS love you.

I don't care what ANYONE else says.

You are perfect, and wonderful and awesome.

And I'm NEVER going to stop reminding you of that until you start remembering it on your own...

[auberginequeen]

You are made of sugar, milk, and molasses
So, little darlin', you attract all the bees
You are the gazer, you are the attraction
Takes a little vanity to know what it means

I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doing just fine

Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're giving up

I asked a question, give me an answer
You'll say the word and I will disappear
You're running fast but you can run faster
Heels to the dirt, gonna make it clear

I know it 'cause you wrote it down a hundred times
But you say that you're doing just fine

Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it

Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, tonight you're given...

Darkness, and you can hear me
I will try to draw you near me
But in the morning you will wake up alone
When your body breaks
Even the hummingbirds will feel the earthquake
You'll sing a song of your heart's complaint

Sing it loud, sing it clear
Oh, sing so I can hear you
Then sing it soft in my ear
Take it all or take half
Pull me down in the grass
I'll go anywhere with you

Say there's something better
You don't see it
You won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it
But you won't get it

Say there's something better
But today, there is a cold moon rising
And you wanted something better
But tonight, you know you'll never find it

Say there's something better
You don't see it
You won't find it
Say there's something better
You're behind it
But you won't get it

[theDreamer]

Weep for yourself, my man,
You'll never be what is in your heart
Weep Little Lion Man,
You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself,
Take all the courage you have left
Wasted on fixing all the problems
That you made in your own head

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my...

Tremble for yourself, my man,
You know that you have seen this all before
Tremble Little Lion Man,
You'll never settle any of your scores
Your grace is wasted in your face,
Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
Now learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck

But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my deer.

Float On - Modest Mouse

I backed my car into a cop car the other day
Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok
I ran my mouth off a bit too much oh what did I say
Well you just laughed it off it was all ok

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on any way well

Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam
It was worth it just to learn from sleight-of-hand
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
Good news will work its way to all them plans
We both got fired on the exactly the same day
Well we'll float on good news is on the way

And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on ok
And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Now don't you worry we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Alright don't worry we'll all float on

And we'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Aliright don't worry even if things end up a bit to heavy
We'll all float on alright
Already we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Ok don't worry we'll all float on
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on
Alright already we'll all float on
Don't you worry we'll all float on
All float on

[auberginequeen]

Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried
To suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
Help me meet the Wizard
If I make good

So I'll make... good

When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
Then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since- since birth!

And with all his Wizard wisdom
By my looks he won't be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Or like Munchkins, so small-minded? No!

He'll say to me, "I see who you truly are
A girl on whom I can rely"
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I

Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange

No father is not proud of you
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard you're acclaimed

And this gift or this curse I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand
The Wizard and I

And one day he'll say to me, "Elphaba
Girl who is so superior
Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
Having a matching exterior?

And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?"

And though, of course
That's not important to me
"All right, why not?" I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and I
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and...

Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know, it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do with me!

And I'll stand there with the Wizard
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it
I'd be so happy, I could melt!

And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favourite team
The Wizard and I!

[BlitzRunner27]

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all the way
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 am 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.

We took the freeway out of town
We found a place to settle down
We bought a driveway and a swingset and a dog
You've got your very own bathroom
I've got my very own workshop in the basement

We'll sit around staring at the wall-to-wall
Take field trips to our favourite mall
Waiting for the day
When all the kids grow up and leave us here

If you need me
I’ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on
(For heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on)

But you’ll be okay
Cause you’ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on

We hung a flag above the door
Checked out the gourmet grocery store
I bought a mower I can ride around the yard
But we haven’t got real friends
And now even the fake ones have stopped calling

Maybe if you forget to hide the keys
I’ll take a ride to Applebee’s
I’ll come home drunk on daiquiris
And throw up on the neighbor’s lawn

If you need me
I’ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on
(For heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on)

But you’ll be okay
Cause you’ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on

I like the Starbucks here that’s better than the other one
'Cause the other one’s not as good
They really need to put a light there cause it’s hard to turn
It’s hard to make a left turn

And when it’s time to go to bed
I’m still awake inside my head
I’m floating up above the house and looking down
I guess I gotta go back there
I guess there never was any other answer

And as the freeway hums the cars go by
The headlights roll across the sky
Many miles away
But I can see them speeding through the dark

If you need me
I’ll be downstairs
With the shop vac
You can call but I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on
(For heaven's sake it's really loud with the shop vac on)

But you’ll be okay
Cause you’ll be upstairs
With the TV
You can cry and I probably won’t hear you
Because it’s loud with the shop vac on

[auberginequeen]

I can't believe she bought it
She got too close and she caught it
Had a point, but she forgot it

When you skip steps on the way up
The gaps have a way of catchin' up
And you can't cover that with makeup

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause you're not ready, baby
And you got nothin' on me
And you got nothin' on me

Now that I'm getting to know her
Part of me wants to show her
Who she's really screwing over

'Cause she's got nothin' real
Takin' everything she can steal
Just like it was her last meal

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause you're not ready, baby
And you got nothin' on me

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause you're not ready, baby
And you got nothin' on me
And you got nothin' on me

How long is she gonna be around?
And how long do we have to watch her dumb it down?
'Cause when it's cheap it fades fast
And how long does she think it's gonna last?

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause you're not ready, baby
And you got nothin' on me

You're gonna fall behind me
You're gonna cry and beg for mercy
'Cause your not ready, baby
And you got nothin' on me
And you got nothin' on me
And you got nothin' on me
And you got nothin' on me
