Regrettable Juvenilia

19:05 / 01.12.04

growin up, brewin up, guerilla gettin trained up
look out look out from over the rooftop
growin up, brewin up, guerilla gettin trained up
look out look out from over the rooftop

competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, pop
competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, pop

row da boat - straight to da ocean
give 'im a run - a run at his own game
signal the plane - and I landed on the runway
a survivor, indepedent foreigner

first your beats had me running to the running man
then your chat had me wanna do the bogle man
click suits and booted in the Timberland
freakin out to Missy on a Timbaland

growin up, brewin up, guerilla gettin trained up
look out look out from over the rooftop
growin up, brewin up, guerilla gettin trained up
look out look out from over the rooftop

competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, pop
competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, pop

you shoulda been good to me
then I wouldn't get so rowdy rowdy
you should kept your eye on me
then I wouldn't get so baddy baddy

whether you are
swingin out to swing beat
layin low and jackin up to Lou Reed
chasin out to Pixies and the Beasties
doin aceeed with hair-coloured geek freaks
ffwd onto the '04
got my own flow get you to the dancefloor
little mamma doin the booty rolls
crump clowns got me rooting for the linos

competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, pop
competition comin up now
load up, aim, fire fire, POP

- M.I.A., 'Fire Fire'

I am a death house haunted mirror
Acerbic heart ain't nothing pure in here
I keep the memories of a broken you
Sing sing the stories of a fractured few

I believe I will open up
For all my rage will surely come undone
Sing Sing Death House!

I am agnostic but I hang on a cross
Faithless saintless my sin stabs
I wear the crown of oblivion
Rule and aching void watch my sun burn out

I am a death house haunted mirror
Acerbic heart ain't nothing pure in here
You close the door I sing pleading
Save me before you leave you're leaving

Haha, fuck it.

The Distillers - Sing Sing Death House

15:09 / 05.12.04

I'm back again already. I've just got my amp so I'm in a music state of mind. There's 2 songs here, both of the lyrics are beautiful so I thought I'd post them both up seeing as I couldn't decide between either one of them :

Audioslave - Like A Stone

On a cobweb afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
If we're good we'll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone

On my deathbed I will pray
To the gods and thee angels
Like a pagan to anyone
Who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The wine was bled
And there you led me on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone Alone

And on I read
Until the day was gone
And I sat in regret
Of all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams until my death
I will wander on

In your house I long to be
Room by room patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone I'll wait for you there
Alone Alone

Next one :

Audioslave - I Am The Highway

Pearls and swine, bereft of me
long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity
For leaving I feel-yeah

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars
Dont wait for me
'Cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel, yeah

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

Goodness Gracious Meme

"Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
[...]
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation.

Sickening, isn't it?

Regrettable Juvenilia

Mmmmaybe, but it's still better than Audioslave.

19:04 / 06.12.04

Don't tell me you saw Cochise on MTV and then passed judgement on them.........

Did you ever like Soundgarden or RATM?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

19:33 / 06.12.04

I hope you're sitting comfortably
I've saved you the best seat in the house
Right up in the front row
The stars have been torn down
The moon is locked away
And the land is banked in frozen snow

You are a force of nature, dear
Your breath curls from your lips
As the trees bend down their branches
And touch you with their fingertips
They're bringing out the dead now
It's easy just to look away
They're bringing out the dead now
It's been a strange, strange day

We could navigate our position by the stars
But they've taken out the stars
The stars are all gone
I'm glad you've come along
We could comprehend our condition by the moon
But they've ordered the moon not to shine
Still, I'm glad you've come along
I was worried out of my mind
Cause they keep bringing out the dead
It's easy just to look away
They're bringing out the dead now
And it's been a long, strange day

You can move up a little closer
I will throw a blanket over
We can weigh all the tears in one hand
Against the laughter in the other
We could be hanging around for centuries
Trying to make sense of this, my dear
While the planets try to get organised
Way above the stratosphere
But they keep bringing out the dead now
It's easy if we just walk away
They keep bringing out the dead now
It's been a long, long day

Look away
Look away

Messiah Ward- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

(The first time I heard this song was the day my dog died, and the two are now inextricably linked. RIP B. x)

I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything
I can do anything
I need nothing from you
something 'bout the way you deal
hands of steel
make me squeel
I can do anything
yes I'm taking all requests
stopping press
black finesse
uh huh
I can do anything

21:23 / 22.12.04

I Love you
It's murder
I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to

I love you
It's pointless
Oh my soul
If I live or I die this night

I am two people
One you know - but don't like
The other one
You don't know
But you don't want to
I have two faces
One of which you know
The other one for your sake
I never would show

It's just because I love you
I cannot bear to be around you
And if only one or the other
Of us would drop down dead

Matthew Fluxington

16:47 / 29.12.04

embrace the senile genius
watch him reinvent the wheel
I don't need your summary acts, summary acts
to give in to the narrative age

old to begin, I will set you back, set you back, set ya
old to begin, I will set you back, set you back, set ya

you get to feeling like a fixture
set in 1966
time came that we drifted apart, drifted apart
and found an unidentical twin

old to begin, I will set you back, set you back, set ya
old to begin, I will set you back, set you back far

searching for latent cause
blame it on menopause
or perhaps stress and strain
credit cards, lumbar pain
but I've seen your double dare
it's everything extraordinaire
I know the things you do are gonna come back

20:53 / 29.12.04

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death

00:18 / 31.12.04

like a bolt from the blue
the crystalline truth
inertia in action
give me a shot of vermouth

got myself together
transcended my limitations
some force in the ether
heard my lamentations

we learn the hard way
crash on the highway
came on a bad day
too little too late

you gave me passage
you offered passage to me

and it beamed down its rays
and it lit up my head
so i went to your room
and i lay on your bed

we learn the hard way
too little too late

all into the falling flock
the end is unresolved
falling to the beating clock
it's all you're gonna know

so i walked to the edge
i plunged over its side
i woke up in rozelle
or maybe i died

got myself together
transcended my limitations
some force in the ether
heard my lamentations

understood the concept
could be anything
come on like an adept
or maybe I died

isidore- no passage
