Dinosaur Jr. - Start Choppin'

Dinosaur Jr. - Start Choppin'

There's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb, can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

It's the last thing on my mind
Still you won't let things unwind
Spinnin' tight around your head
Can't you hear a word I've said?
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

When you call it's just not fair
It's the last thing you should share
I can't deal, I'll let you know
Still I wish you'd let it go
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye

I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine

Well, there's no goin' back to that
I'm so numb can't even react
Didn't say it's not ok
But we aren't dealin' the same way
I ain't tellin' you a secret
I ain't tellin' you goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

I'm tellin' you for one last time
It's not just you, the problem's mine to hide
I waited as long as I could
If you need it, sure I would, that's fine
I'm takin' away a lot of stuff
I'm tellin' you it's rough but not goodbye

Slapp Happy - Haiku

Slapp Happy - Haiku

We’re chippin’ at the moon with an old bone
Issa and her sister chip until the moon is gone
An endless row of wagons in the snow
Issa grabs her sister says c’mon let’s go ‘cause
Yeah, I think I’ll write a haiku
Well, you know as well as I do
You gotta, gott have a high IQ
So eat this and have a cup of tea
Widow lighting lamps at cock crow
Sengai stamps to help his blood flow
From his brush figures rush
In the middle sits a poet
Almost smothered, almost crushed, crying
"yeah, I think I'll write a haiku..."
(Systole, diastole
Dealing with the parts but
Feeling with the whole.)
Yo!
Han Shan's tears, small worlds
In the wood a drop of blood
Hits an inky pond which ripples as it should...

Air Supply - Making Love (Out of Nothing at All)

Air Supply - Making Love (Out of Nothing at All)

I know just how to whisper,
And I know just how to cry;
I know just where to find the answers;
And I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it,
And I know just how to scheme;
I know just when to face the truth,
And then I know just when to dream.
And I know just where to touch you,
And I know just what to prove;
I know when to pull you closer,
And I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading,
And I know that times gonna fly;
And I'm never gonna tell you everything
Ive got to tell you,
But I know Ive got to give it a try.
And I know the roads to riches,
And I know the ways to fame;
I know all the rules
And then I know how to break em
And I always know the name of the game.

But I don't know how to leave you,
And I'll never let you fall;
And I don't know how you do it,
Making love out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all, (making love)
Out of nothing at all, (making love)
Out of nothing at all, (making love)
Out of nothing at all, (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all.

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair;
And every star in the sky is taking aim
At your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and its lost
And its looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I've got to follow it, cause everything I know, well its nothing till I give it to you.

I can make the run or stumble,
I can make the final block;
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever,
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all your demons be gone.

But I'm never gonna make it without you,
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do,
Making love out of nothing at all (making love)

Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)
Out of nothing at all (making love)

Nina Simone - Do What You Gotta Do

Nina Simone - Do What You Gotta Do

Do what you gotta do
Come on back see me when you can
Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start it's my own fault
What happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Now I know it'll make you feel sad
And make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feels no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
And man you never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean that I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Find that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Alkaline Trio - My Friend Peter

Alkaline Trio - My Friend Peter

I don't care who you've been sleeping with these days
You're outta my hair
It's growing just above my smiling face that I wear
Every night I drink myself to sleep
Not thinking about you
Not thinking about anything at all

I don't care who you've been dining with these days
It's more than fair
Much rather be drinking anyways
With my friend Peter
Who lives so fucking far away
Yet not as far as you
Even though you live right down my fucking street

And I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all these drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

I don't care who you've been kissing on these days
It's out of my hands
and in my mouth with such a pleasant taste
I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace
And then I'll drink 23 more
To wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face

I'm tired of sleeping with myself
I'm tired, all those drinks and drugs no longer help
I'm tired of lying about not thinking of you
Maybe my friend Peter can tell me what to do

Cat Power - Good Woman

Cat Power - Good Woman

I want to be a good woman
And I want, for you to be a good man.
This is why I will be leaving
And this is why, I can’t see you no more.
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever

I don’t want be a bad woman
And I can’t stand to see you be a bad man
I will miss your heart so tender
And I will love
This love forever
And this is why I am leaving
And this is why I can’t see you no more
This is why I am lying when I say
That I don’t love you no more

Cause I want to be a good woman
And I want for you to be a good man

Red House Painters - All Mixed Up

She shadows me in the mirror
She never leaves on the light
And some things that i say to her
They just don't seem to bite

It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up

She tricks me into thinking
That i can't believe my eyes
That i wait for her forever
But she never does arrive

It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up

She says to leave it to me (leave it to me)
And everything will be alright (be alright)
She says to leave it to me (leave it to me)
And everything will be alright (be alright)

She's always out making pictures
She's always out making scenes
She's always out the window
When it comes to making dreams

It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up
It's all mixed up

Lykke Li - Let It Fall

Lykke Li - Let It Fall

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

In my weakest moments I weep
'Cause I like the way, tears fit my cheek
In my darkest moments I cry
Oh how I love the way, tears suits my face

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

In my joyous moments I moan
'Cause it feels so good when I let my water flow
Drip drop, and I cannot stop
Can't stop, no I said no
Drip drop, and I cannot stop
Can't stop
I cry for you, cry for you
I cry because I cannot help it
So it runs, yes it falls
And ain't no stopping at all

I like it salt
I like it wet
Like my makeup in a mess
So I cry hard
Let it fall
And I won't stop until my tears are all shed

So I weep
So I weep
So I weep
So I weep

Let it fall

If ever I'd known

All of the luck in the world this time around
won't change a thing tonight.
If ever I'd known.

I've done alright for myself this time around
given the weight of the time.
If ever I'd known.

You have our love, this whole world
I've got these four leaves and walls.

If ever I'd known

All you are capable of next time around
I'll be the better man.
If ever I'd known.

This really isn't fair next time around
Alaska would be mine.
If ever I'd known.

You have our love, this whole world
I've got these four leaves and walls.

Next time around,
I'll leave all these
clovers buried in the ground
for you to find
next time around.

I'll leave all these
clovers buried in the ground
for you to find
next time around.

My dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
Monsters?
Whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide!
Jesus don't you know that you could've died
(You should've died)
With the monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth

And she's got red lipstick and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old death kit she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you

Certain fads, stripes and plaids, singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat, i mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel
Hope it won't hurt too bad

My dewy-eyed disney bride, what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde?
What monsters that talk, monsters that walk the earth

And she says i like long walks and sci-fi movies
If you're six foot tall and east coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head

The Afghan Whigs - I Keep Coming Back

The Afghan Whigs - I Keep Coming Back

I wanna leave you
But I just can't leave you
I keep coming back for a little more of Your love
I wanna go away But honey, I just can't stay
I keep coming back for a little more of your love

And I can't understand when try as hard as anyone can
Each night I dream I wake up and scream
Ah Baby, That I love you woman I love You
Oh Baby, I realize I treat you wrong
But I'm so sorry Let me come back were I belong
You see I'm Your fool I lost my cool
Ah Baby, that love You woman
I love You And I wouldn't lie
Oh, but I lay down and die

Oh Baby, that I love you woman
Oh Baby, that I love you woman
That I love you woman

I love you

The Afghan Whigs - When We Two Parted

The Afghan Whigs - When We Two Parted

Baby, I see you've made yourself all sick again
Didn't I do a good job of pretending?
You're saying that the victim doesn't want it to end
Good. I get to dress up and play the assassin again
It's my favorite
It's got personality
I should have seen this shit coming down the hall
Every night I spent in that bed with you facing the wall
If I could have only once heard you scream
To feel you were alive
Instead of watching you abandoning yourself
Baby you can open your eyes now
And please allow me to present you with a clue
If I inflict the pain
Then baby only I can comfort you
Out of the night we come
And into the night we go
If it starts to hurt you
Then you have to say so
