This is pretty similar to the Describe yourself with lyrics thread, but anyhoo... Like it says in the title... What song best describes your life right now? Here's mine: Wake For Young Souls - Third Eye Blind Where’s my soul I have your face in a photo in high school when you were alive but that’s all I have And I can’t remember who I was myself then and it doesn’t help still I looked to you as a friend to tell me Chorus who we are now, who we are who we are now, who we are where does time go now on a wake for young souls tell me who we are now, who we are where does time go now on a wake for young souls Like a lullaby we sing Well the wind that blows its blowing colder and the child that grows she’s growing older And the friends we know they’ll turn a shoulder the friends we know they are growing colder Chorus Where’s my soul Cycle of the moon brings blood to the woman In the blood of the woman brings birth of a child Child grow up Keep forgetting something Birth of a child comes someplace while you Even grey days beat the shade to wean Unbodied unsouled unheard unseen Let the gift be grown in the time to call our own Let the truth be sewn before the windows closing Truth is natural like a wind that blows Follow the direction no matter where it goes So it shall be the earth and the sea Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me If I’ve been cold, if I’ve spoken in anger, to have been bold, forgive me You I don’t see your mother not like before, though she hasn’t forgotten she doesn’t like to be reminded anymore. Annie got married it didn’t come with out tears like the day you died I have laughter for these years Chorus Other things we know are going to fall away from me like a grain of sand slips through a good friends hand
give an electric guitar to a five-year-old for the first time, crank it, and whatever 'song' that comes out pretty much describes it right now.......
Hmm, Third Eye Blind for me too: Semi Charmed Life I'm packed and I'm holding, I'm smiling, she's living, she's golden and she lives for me, She says she lives for me, Ovation, She's got her own motivation, she comes round and she goes down on me, And I make her smile, It's like a drug for you, Do ever what you want to do, Coming over you, Keep on smiling, what we go through. One stop to the rhythm that divides you, And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse, Chop another line like a coda with a curse, And I come on like a freak show takes the stage. We give them the games we play, she said, I want something else, to get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, Good-bye. The sky it was gold, it was rose, I was taking sips of it through my nose, And I wish I could get back there, Some place back there, Smiling in the pictures you would take, Doing crystal myth, Will lift you up until you break, It won't stop, I won't come down, I keep stock, With a tick tock rhythm and a bump for the drop, And then I bumped up. I took the hit I was given, Then I bumped again, And then I bumped again. How do I get back there to, The place where I fell asleep inside you? How do I get myself back to, The place where you said, I want something else to get me through this, semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, good-bye, I believe in the sand beneath my toes, The beach gives a feeling, An earthy feeling, I believe in the faith that grows, And the four right chords can make me cry, When I'm with you I feel like I could die. And that would be all right, All right, When the plane came in, She said she was crashing, The velvet it rips, In the city we tripped, On the urge to feel alive, But now I'm struggling to survive, The days you were wearing, That velvet dress, You're the priestess, must confess, Those little red panties, They pass the test, Slide up around the belly, Face down on the mattress, One, Now you hold me, And we're broken. Still it's all that I want to do. Feel myself with a head made of the ground, I'm scared but I'm not coming down. And I won't run for my life, She's got her jaws just locked now in smile but nothing is all right, All right, I want something else, To get me through this, Semi-charmed kind of life, I want something else, I'm not listening when you say, good-bye.
"Pale Blue Eyes" by The Velvet Underground. "Sometimes I feel so happy Sometimes I feel so sad Sometimes I feel so happy But mostly you just make me mad Baby you just make me mad Linger on, your pale blue eyes Linger on, your pale blue eyes Thought of you as my mountain top Thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep I've had but couldn't keep If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see I'd put you in the mirror I put in front of me I'd put in front of me Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup She said money is like us in time It lies but can't stand up Down for you is up It was good what we did yesterday And I'd do it once again The fact that you are married Only proves that you're my best friend But it's truly, truly a sin Linger on, your pale blue eyes Linger on, your pale blue eyes "

all of his songs that is! not just that one! particularly-FUEL TO THE FIRE- which, in my opinion, is the best song in the world
You know... I hadn't listened to Rory Gallagher much, but maybe a few months ago I read your post about him somewhere in the forums and then downloaded some of his songs. Now... I have four CD's and I absolutely lovelovelove his music. So thanks for introducing him to me!
I've been in a Guided by Voices wonderland here lately, can't wait to seem in a week! Sheetkickers by Bob Pollard of Guided by Voices -------------------------------------- Cover your eyes, the light is too bright your wisemen, they tell you lies and what's worse - they curse but still I love the bite like flies or maybe mothmen as they're attracted to the light - they realize the light has come to baptize and they will finally realize and what's worse - it hurts but still they love the bite and I would like to die with you I'd like to try but I'm not suicide and I would like to kill you but that would suit you fine, I realize and I will not disgrace myself by chasing you around to pull you back and I will not give in an inch you win before the fight begins but it's o.k. - I'm over you i'm over you i'm over you i'm over you cover your eyes the light is too bright
