i love the lyrics in lisa's part of i remember, i dont really understand daminens :P

i also like "time is contagious, everybodies getting old" in coconut skins.

my favourite line in o is in i remember when lisa sings " My ships were sailing", not just the lyrics but the way she sings those three words is hypnotizing, its one of the best few seconds of music ever

I've got so much beauty around me I can't move
I've got so much beauty around me I can't lose
I've got so much beauty around me I can't choose
I've got so much beauty around me, around you

and..

I wouldnt want, you to want, to be wanted by me
I wouldnt want you to worry youd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful its true
In truth I only, really wanted, to be wanted by you

and..

but you cant paint an elephant, quite as good as she

Is her dark enough to see your light?

Love taught me to die

What I want from you, is empty your head
And if you hate me, then hate me so good that you can let me out

We’ll call it Christmas, when the adverts begin

so why d'ya fill my sorrow
with the words you've borrowed


I should be stronger than weeping alone

Good eyes see nothing to shoot

And why??? Hmmm, well, it speaks....

I wouldn't want you to want
To be wanted by me
I wouldn't want you to worry
You'd be drowned within my sea
I only wanted to be wonderful
And wonderful is true
In truth I only really wanted
To be wanted by you

Or my favorite which i actually did not hear till my girlfriend and I broke up

Till i find someone new

"Older gents sit on the fence
With their cap in hand
Looking grand
They watch their city change.

Children scream or so it seems
Louder than before
Out of doors
Into stores with bigger names

Mama tried to wash their faces but
These kids they lost their graces and
Daddy lost, at the races too many times

She broke down the other day yeah you know
Some things in life may change
But some things
They stay the same..."

Yes, i love Older Chests so much.

Talking

From Elephant:
Quote:
What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie
I just love this song... I find myself with tears in my eyes....

Volcano:
Quote:
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I ask for the sea
I love the melancholiness of these lines... beautifully depressing(like all of his songs )

Cannonball:
Quote:
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't want to scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
what can I say...brilliant...

The animals were gone:
Quote:
My cave is deep now, yet your light is shining through
I cover my eyes, still all I see is you
amazing...

The Professor:
Quote:
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind
I love it!

If i had to pick just one (which is impossible) i think i would pick

"Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
But I've ****ed it up now, too many times
Loving is good if it's not understood
Yeah, but I'm the professor
And feel that I should know"
~The Professor

kind of relates to my last relationship where my X asked me to do something to be with her, and i didnt. now for the past 8 months ive been regreting it and she wont give me another chance . I know ive ****ed the loving relationship more than once, and now i feel this time apart is finally me understanding that im the professor.

My fav is:
"And I hate when you say
That I never fight for you"
from Insane

but I also like simple ones: eg, "I've ****ed it up so many times" from the Professor

from rootless tree
"**** you, **** you, **** you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
There's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out
Of this hell when you're around "

from elephant
"This has got to lie down
With someone else on top"

from volcano
"I kissed your mouth your back
Is that all you need"

"what I really need
Is what makes me bleed"

from i remember
"This is love, this is porn"

from face
"I wanna live, wanna die, wanna grow old with you
I wanna be the only one that you know
'Cause I adore you"

from then go
"I get the feeling you're bored with me
And not through habit or frequency
Did your mother have you easily?
And if there's someplace else you'd rather be
Then go, then go"

from rat within the grain
"I only really wanted to be wanted by you"

and last but not least from women like a man

"You wanna get boned,
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else

You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself

You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get ****ed inside out "

Martine,

Great choices all around.

I'll chalk the first up to a typo but the line from Cannonball is actually "Life taught me to die" (that's one of my personal faves, y'see).

Hahaha, yes, it was.....whoops (Dutchie huh, my English stopped at school, a few years back, so don't shoot me)

And yes, Life taught me to die...... In fact that's indeed also one of my faves, don't know why I write that one.... Maybe I found it dark already

One of the reasons I don't name other parts, is also because a lot is about love. Don't get me wrong, I love love, haha, but there is so much written about it. So many ways to express that feeling. Sometimes it just makes me sick

''So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?''

''i can't take my eyes off you''

''it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball''

''is he dark enough to see your light?''

...all combined with the ideal mellodies!

Accidental Babies

“But do you really feel alive without me?
If so, be free
If not, leave him for me”

Rootless Tree

” F*ck you, f*ck you, love you
And all we've been through
I said leave it, leave it, leave it
It's nothing in you
And did you hate me, hate me, hate me
Then hate me so good
That you can let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out, let me out, let me out”

I really like this one how he throws in “love you,” because I feel like I can relate to this song so well. Just yelling out your anger of “f*ck you” but then saying “love you” because through all the anger… you still love them

Elephant

“So why d'you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
Is easier to touch”

“What's the point of this song? Or even singing?
You've already gone, why am I clinging?
Well I could throw it out, and I could live without
And I could do it all for you
I could be strong
Tell me if you want me to lie”

Cheers Darlin

“You give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away”

“What am I darlin'?
A whisper in your ear?
A piece of your cake?
What am I, darlin?
The boy you can fear?
Or your biggest mistake?”


this is it for now. i'll play more later, but i don't wanna spoil all of my fun at once!!!!

also, all of delicate just chokes me up. Lonelily really gets me also and all of I Remember... especially damiens part

I love your depression and I love your double chin
I love 'most everything that you bring to this offering

Oh I know that I left you in places of despair
Oh I know that I love you, so please throw down your hair
At night I trip without you, and hope I don't wake up
'Cause waking up without you is like drinking from an empty cup
