Pissing in the wind..

I've been pissing in the wind
I chanced a foolish grin
And dribbled on my chin
Now the ground shifts beneath my feet
The faces that I greet never know my name

Just give me something
I'll take nothing
Just give me something
I'll take nothing

Now the drought is crippled by the rain
That hammers on my pain
We lose ourselves again
But all we need is to find a place to look
Our worm is on its hook
A love which dangles free
Lets watch it swim against the waters flow
In doubt the courage grows with no guarantee

Just give me something
I'll take nothing
Just give me something
I'll take nothing

And so it goes
A moral to the tale
As tortoise catches snail
A strong heart will prevail

It keeps on pumping
It still needs something
Just give it something
I'll take nothing
Just give it something
To keep it pumping
And I'll take nothing
Just give me something
-Badly Drawn Boy

A Minor incident

There's nothing I could say
To make you try to feel ok
And nothing you could do
To stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen That I never see you again
Just remember that I'll always love you

I'd be a better person
On the other side I'm sure
You'd find a way to help yourself
And find another door
To shrug off minor incidents
And make us both feel proud
I just wish I could be there
To see you through

You always were the one
To make us stand out in a crowd
Though every once upon a while
Your head was in the cloud
There's nothing you could never do
To ever let me down
And remember that I'll always love you

- badly drawn boy

Above Me and Below you

Don't want to give
Don't want to steal
Don't want to be anything I'm not
You take answers
I give questions
Like some rolling monologue
Want to be the one to say
That today could be the day
A day to believe in what you know
Is what you know

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

All this and more

Don't want to live life in your shoes
I don't feel I know the way
Feeling you
Giving me directions
I don't need
Up above and round we go
First it's fast and then it's slow
Could you connect with my intellect

I won't take you as you are
Please don't take me as I am
Find your lonely life bizarre
You see this in love
You see this in life

THrow an all year round reception
For a love with no connection
Knowing you knowing my
Ignorance to modern life

I know it's above me
I know it's below you
I know it's above me
I know it's below you

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am

Find your lonely life bizarre
I know it's above you
I know it's below me

I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
There'll be something in the wind
To show us we're right
And tell us we're wrong

I want to know more

Rainy days and mondays

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down

Killing me softly..!!

Strumming dub plates with our fingers, Eliminate sounds with our song, Killing a sound boy with this sound, Killing a sound boy with this sound, Taking sound boys� lives with this dub, Killing him softly with this sound. Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. [lauryn] I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, And so I came to see him and listen for a while. And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes, Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish, But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song [clef] Yo l-boogie, take it to the bridge [lauryn] (bust it) Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was . . . [shoutouts and fade]

Hey man now u r really Living..!!

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl?
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really gettin' what you gave
Now you're really livin' what this life is all about
Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill
Never used to give me much of a thrill
But, hey man, now I'm really living
Do you know what it's like to care too much?
About someone that you're never gonna get to touch
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever sat down in the fresh-cut grass
And thought about the moment and when it will pass
Hey man, now you're really living
Now you're really giving everything
And you're really gettin' what you gave
Now you're really livin' what this life is all about
Now, what would you say if I told you that
Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat
Hey man, now you're really living
Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor?
Cry your guts out till you got no more
Hey man, now you're really living
Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl?
Made you feel like it's not such a bad world
Hey man, now you're really living...

Say What You Need To Say -John Mayers

Take out of wasted Honour
Every little past frustrations
Take all your so called problems
Better put them in quotations

say what you need to say

Walkin' Like One Man army
Fightin' with the shadows in your head
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you'd be better off instead
if you could only

say what you need to say



Have no fear for givin' in
Have no fear for givin' over
You better know that in the end
It's better to day so much
Than to never say what you need to say again

Even if your Hands are shakin'
And your faith broken
Even as the eyes are closin'
Do it with a heart wide open
A wide heart

Say what you need to say

Life in the d

Brendan Benson Life in the d Lyrics:
(Benson)

My life in the D is a tragicomedy
A poetic verse
It's voodoo, some say,
black magic ettouffe
A dead man's curse
It's just like the Egyptian tombs
It's tunnels leading to empty rooms
Skeptics think it's a doctored photo
Of a U.F.O. (U.F.O.)

You're wasting your breath
on life after death
'Cause I'm almost sure
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/yaU ]
If hell does exist, then the
Devil's a scientist
Finding the cure
It's life, microscopic-size
Unseen by the naked eye
The answer's encoded with ink
That's invisible

When God made the earth and
saw his net worth
He posed for a shot
And life in the D is what
was handed to me
And that's what I've got
It's all just a hologram
Locked in a vault, it's a cryptogram
A lie on the polygraph test
It's undetectable
It's undetectable
Lyrics: Life in the d, Brendan Benson [end]

Got no Secrets

Got no Secrets Lyrics:
(Benson)

I got no secrets
When I was a young boy I was beat up by my dad
I grew up fast, I took drugs
and now I'm in rehab
There's a girl that I know and
she's only seventeen
She said I was her favorite
you know what I mean
Now I feel okay
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/c6O ]
But every night before I sleep
I wish I had kept it to myself for me to keep

I got no secrets

And all the kids at my school
thought I was the enemy
Teachers diagnosed psychosis in need of therapy
One or two times daily now
My doctor has prescribed save me from myself
Cause I've tried suicide
Now I feel okay
But every night before I sleep
I wish I had kept it to myself
For me to keep
Lyrics: Got no Secrets, Brendan Benson [end]
