Happy weekend!

When You Were Young
the Killers


You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

This is the music i've been addicted to for the now. It's sad. and it's raining here. 

Happy weekend everyone!

Update


I was reminded by my husband that when i was pregnant with our only kid (and had lots of free time) we never missed an episode of the reality show RockStar (the reality contest for a NEW INXS frontwo/man about 5 years ago or so, remember?). He said that most of the songs contestants covered in the duration of the show were that of The Killers'. Maybe, he said, that explains my recent obsession with the band.

Still, i don't remember a thing about it, but his seemed like a viable explanation.

The Killers Week.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can't look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'˜Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

'Cause I just can't look - it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Turning through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

I've told my husband several times he was crazy for marrying me. because i am a difficult person to deal with and because i am not supposed to be married. 
but surprisingly, i am having fun living with him and having a kid around. 
maybe it's the books that do it. you know, when you have so much books in your room and you lose a chair to several more books and...
i'm on my The Killers week today. 
i told husband i can clearly imagine him playing guitar of The Killers' song in a full-packed arena. like Mr. Brightside. Or WHen we Were Young, because WHen We Were Young is more painful.
because Mr. Brightside is about jealousy and i'm quite alien to that? wazizzzdat?
I told him maybe it's because of his hair. 
ANd he said, "I really have to lose some of these beer belly for the fans."

This video is by Vevo. and vevo suck. it's just too bad. 

Late for the Sky

Jackson Browne

-----

I first heard this song on Rare on Air Vol. 2. I purchased the cassette in 1998; fell in love with it. 1998 was dark days for me and it made me relate to it even more.
I said before that "The Ride" by Joan Wasser was my all-time favorite, but i forgot about this.

------

The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
And still we continued on through the night

Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives had led us there
Looking hard into your eyes
The was nobody I'd ever known
Such an empty surprise to feel so alone

Now for me some words come easy
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
I don't know what you loved in me
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be

Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone
And close to the end of the feeling we've known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need

Awake again, I can't pretend, and I know I'm alone
And close to the end of the feeling we've known

How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been driftin alone through the night
How long have I been running for that morning flight
Through the whispered promises and the changing light

Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

SHINING LIGHT.

ash.

Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah, you are a shining light
You lit a torch in the infinite
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life

You have always been a thorn in their side
But to me you're a shining light
You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life

We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over royal David's city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light

You are a force you are a constant source
Yeah, you are a shining light
Incandescent in the darkest night
Yeah, you are a shining light
My mortal blood I would sacrifice
For you are a shining light
Sovereign bride of the infinite
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life

We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over royal David's city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light

These are the days you often say
There's nothing that we cannot do
Beneath a canopy of stars
I'd she'd blood for you
The north star in the firmament
You shine the most bright
I've seen you draped in a electric veil
Shrouded in celestial light

We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over royal David's city
An epiphany you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life
Yeah, you are a shining light
Yeah, you light up my life

for the long lonely road ahead.

The Ride.

Joan Wasser

starting now the wait is over
as long as you jump the ride
cuz i won't highway-walk forever
as long as you jump the ride

as long as you follow me
this is what i do, like i do
i've been on the ride before
it never stops at all
it never stops at all

you'll start your engines like a virgin
as long as you jump the ride
we'll cut the whip and lose the anchor
as long as you jump the ride

as long as you follow me
this is what i do, like i do
i've been on the ride before
it never stops at all
it never stops at all

as long as you follow me
this is what i do, like i do
i've been on the ride before
it never stops at all
it never stops at all

Love song for kitoy.

Real life
Joan Wasser

I freeze my hands as i close the door
To wait in line so i can wait some more

And it's true what they say about love
Yes it's true what they say about life
And i'm taking it for all it's worth

I watch the numbers register on the postal scale
I think of your hands and calculate
How a man, desired, feels the weight of a letter

It's true what they say about me
That i'm out of my mind but i think that you like it
So take the chance,
Be reckless with me

'cause i'm real life
And you're real life
And we're real life
We're real life

Is it pleasing?
Six hundred thousand miles and all this solitude?
I know what is pleasing-
What i'll find beneath your new pair of glasses

I've never included a name in a song
But i'm changing my ways for you,
Jonathan
I need you to know,
I need you to know
That i'm real life.

come around.

by rhett miller

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart
I'm depressed upstairs and I'm remembering where
And when and how and why'd you have to go so far

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around, so come around

I'm dressed all in white and I remember the night
You came on to me and opened up my heart
I was hollow then till you filled me in, now I'm empty again
I should have never let it start

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around, so come around

No one else can fix me although sometimes my heart tricks me
Into thinking someone else will do
But you're the only one you are the only one

Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Am I gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
I'm gonna be lonely for the rest of my life
Unless you come around so come around
So come around, so come around

I'm dressed all in blue and I'm remembering you
And the dress you wore when you broke my heart

drug buddy

by the lemonheads....evan DANDO THE GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!

again, one of those eternal lyrics posts of mine.



Shes coming over,
Well go out walking,
Make a call on the way.

Shes in the phone booth now,
Im looking in.
There comes a smile on her face.

Theres still some of the same stuff we got yesterday.
Theres still some of the same stuff we got yesterday,
Yeah.

Im too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.
Im too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.
Im too much with myself,
I wanna be someone else.

So we take off out fionas door,
Walk until its light outside,
Like before when we were on the phone.

We have to laugh to look at each other.
We have to laugh cause were not alone.

As the cars fly up king st.
Its enough to startle us,
Its enough to startle us

I love my drug buddy.
My drug, my drug buddy.
I love my drug buddy.
My drug, my drug buddy.

everlong.

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang


Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang


And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Pharmaceutical itch

possum dixon


Understanding nothing can be so comforting.
But understanding you is like biology.
You lay there on the bathroom floor hold you in my hand and don't be shy.
When you pick it up and stab it I start to bleed.
You know what to do.
Well I feel like a scientist until I'm out of breath we'll I'm good with
part and get away.
It's what I need.
When you got everything you've got nothing.
And when you got nothing you've got it all.
And marry me baby, and sleep with me baby, we'll sleep with the lights on,
and we'll sleep with
our clothes on.


yeah.

Somebody is Waiting for ME.

Juliana Hatfield.

You never needed them
You never needed anyone
The life of the party must decline
Your invitation to dine
And I'm sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding something real
And pure and true
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
I never needed this
I never needed anyone
I meant every word that I said
It's true
I wasn't talking to you
And I'm sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding something real and pure and true
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
And I'm sorry that I must go so soon
Please forgive me for finding something real and true
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
Somebody is waiting for me
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me
For me for me for me for me for me for me for me.

I found a reason
cat power

Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better than what came before
And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come
Oh I do believe
In all the things you say
What comes is better that what came before
And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run

It's Not

by Aimee Mann

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit.
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot.
Where something I can't see interrupts the current.
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot.
And from behind the screen, it can look so perfect.

But it's not.

So here im sittin in my car at the same old stop light.
I keep waiting for a change, but I don't know what.
So red turns into green, turning into yellow.
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot.
And all I have to do is press the pedal.

But I'm not.
No I'm not.

Well people are tricky, You can't afford to show,anything risky, anything they don't know.
The moment you try, well kiss it goodbye.

So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator.
And let me fall into the dream of the astrounaut.
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever.
And you make all the rest just an after thought.
And I believe it's you who could make it better.

But it's not.
No it's not
