tonight i looked through lyrics to describe the way i feel right now. i looked through my usual favourites.. but none of them will do.
U2’s lyrics are all about god, sex and drugs. Depeche Mode is all about drugs and occassionally sex. Coldplay writes about bubbles and spies and general nouns. bah.
for someone who likes lyrics, i sure have struck out tonight. anyone want to suggest some good lyricists?
Please forgive me
If I act a little strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you.
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there’s so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way.
that picture is absolutely fantastic, btw. definitely one of my favourites of yours.
Lyrics: Gabriel, Peter
I’ve been Peter Gabriel fan for some time, but with his latest album, “Up”, the liner notes — while…
david gray? and thank you!
I have to say, I very much agree with your description of coldplay lyrics, however, I still find them interesting and enjoy most of their stuff…
I think if I had to put some lyrics in here descibing my mood to some degree I’d have to put the monolouge that is on the ispirazione – psalm. Wish I could remember them word for word…
james — this is from memory, probably tons of errors:
a rock/a river/a tree
host to species/long since departed;
but today/the rock cries out to us
calmly/clearly/forcefully:
seek no haven/in my shadow
you will find/no hiding place/down here
you/created only a little lower than the angels
have crouched too long/in the bruising darkness… darkness… darkness….
heya guys, if you want to see where that’s really from.. and it may surprise you what it was originally for .. check this out:

the full version is amazing.
that’s it krishen:) That’s interesting, that it was presented at clinton’s inauguration. For me, one of the most poignant parts of it is the sentence: “If you will study war no more.” I feel it says it all right there.
yeah it’s totally awesome. you can see how this kind of poetry was absent from anything george * bush related.
I like Billy Corgan’s, Ben Harper’s and Jeff Buckley’s lyrics. I’m with you on the David Gray too.

Where’s the love song?
To set us free
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way around
And I don’t know what love will be
But if we start dreaming now
Lord knows we’ll never leave the clouds
And you’ve been so busy lately that you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Feel the sunshine on your face
It’s in a computer now
Gone are the future, way out in space
And you’ve been so busy lately that you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
And you’ve been so busy lately that you haven’t found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning gently out of time
Tell me I’m not dreaming but are we out of time?
(We’re) out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
i’ve been listening to this song quite frequently these last couple of weeks. it’s a good one. kind of abstract, but the whole cadence of the song really strikes a chord with my own personal feelings.
miriam: ahh billy corgan is/was a good one for sure. i don’t know jeff buckley’s songs that well, but i have heard a few. and i know who ben harper is but i don’t know any of his music at all. i’ll take a gander!
charles: cool words. who do they belong to?
damon albarn (blur – out of time)
