You, Me &amp; That Night<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

together we lay now silent and still
save the sound and the motion of our breathing
the breeze outside the open window
causing the the moon to cast shadows, dancing branches across your skin
beads of perspiration meander the outline of your halo
time was lost as our lips embraced
our tongues waltzing to a song ive never heard
although my eyes were closed, lost in your kiss, my hands still traced
a path from the nape of your neck, to the small of your back
bodies rose and fell, skin upon skin, stuck and locked
with deepening breaths I breathed you in, I held you in
this was all I had wanted, it didn’t have to be forever
tonight would be enough
but then it dawned on me in harmony with the dawning of morning’s light
that I was falling for you
like the sunfalls forthe moon
I will never forget, you, me and that night



sorry, that was what i was meant to quote! make more sense now!?!?! hehe

emmm......i'm not sure i should post this but gotta start showing songs somewhere....

(btw this doesn't have a name yet, suggestions are welcome)

electric currents pass over my eyes
these feelings wash through me
and i don't understand
this pain and sadness
is not going to heal
lord, if i cry now,
lord, would you hear?

the voices in my head
they suffer and sulk
they mean nothing to me
they don't see what i see

caught between heaven and hell
caught in a lanslide
but how can you tell?
but when i see
it's like an explosion
i've really got to
retain my composure

the voices in my head
they suffer and sulk
they mean nothing to me
they don't see what i see
climbing up the wall
afraid that i might fall
and how do i bleed?
how do i bleed?

(i'm gonna post this before i change my mind..)

Mellowdrama

Softly, take it easy
slowly, on your own
she says, we don't crave what hurts
and talks of our hope breaking
but I don't have your face to touch
or your body to shape my song

'cause I've got nothing
for me to go on
just these words
that I created
in my mind
and some eyes
that I can't find, that I can't find

softly, take it easy
slowly, on your own
I think of you on that bus
and wish it was me you were watching
but I don't have your face to touch
or your body to shape my song

'cause I've got nothing
for me to go on
just these words
that I created
in my mind
and some eyes
that I can't find, that I can't find

Hey thanks Jen... and also thanks to 2dollarbill who was nice about 'Sold' on the previous page.

If you wanna hear those lyrics in action, check out my site www.justinthorne.com and go to the downloads section, or you can hear the live version from my homepage, which was recorded at the BBC.

Thanks guys.

You will need real player I am afraid Jen, it's free but takes a little while to download unless you have DSL.

Otherwise, PM me your address and I'll send you a CD, then you can hear ten tunes, including 'Sold'.

(sorry if this has already appeared, thread too big for me to check)

Lonely Road

Heard you on the phone last night
when you thought that I was sleeping
looking back I should've known, how could I be so blind
seems we have a different view
of how things have been going
you can't say what makes you stay
your heart or your mind

it's been going wrong for too long
can I change your mind
should I even try oh no
dunno how to mend your heart
hell I don't even know why

'cause it's a lonely road
lonely road
it's a lonely road
lonely road

so now I'm paranoid
I jump at every shadow
always watching what I say
scared to know the truth
I know I'm losing you
and I dunno how to change it
guess I thought we'd always be
together til the end

it's been going wrong for too long
can I change your mind
should I even try oh no
dunno how to mend your heart
girl I don't even know why

'cause it's a lonely road
lonely road
it's a lonely road
lonely road

Love that Juzza...
Here is something that I wrote....

I bought some shoes at the karma store today
So I can walk to you
without feeling the weight of our separation over me
Is this the way it’s always going to be?
‘Cos it’s not always plain to see

When I get to you
you look at me that way
And as always I turn away
‘Cos I don’t feel like being swayed by you anymore

So please don’t glance like that
We are not always given this or that
You lost what it is you lack
And you won’t be able to bring it back

I bought some shoes at the karma store yesterday
So I can walk away from you
without feeling the weight of our separation over me
Obviously it was just me,
that made it mean more than it would be

Walk away from you…
Is all I can do…
It seems it was never meant to be
We learn to give only what we need

(c)sz2005

this isn't really a song yet... its just words at the mo

You're like the moon, I can see you shining bright in all your glory,
But you're untouchable, A golden god, is there any girl out there capable of taming you?
If you are the moon, then I am a star,
You christened me that,
You said I was a star shining underground, Stolen words but they were special to me,
Was that a moment of clarity for you or one of dreadful confusion?
In that moment did you understand the depth of my feelings for you?
In that moment did you understand my position?
I could be the girl, maybe not capable of taming you but I could try save you, If you could save me.
In this universe, stars dance around you, I dance by myself.
Drawn to you like a moth to a flame.
You, the powerful one, the burning light, only sometimes willing to watch me dance for you,
Willing to warm me with your light, for a while,
But if I get too close, I will get burnt,
So I flutter around you.
When your light is hidden behind clouds, I dance with the other stars but I'm always waiting for you to reappear and light up this dark sky.
I understand these confusing steps I dance.
I want only you but I am not even sure of my desire for you.
To protect myself from the others i focus only on you while you enjoy the sparkle of all the other stars.
But i understand, you didn't ask for this.

Justin, that song 'Mellowdrama' is beautiful "your body to shape my song" i think that was it, i love this line. Snowbaby, you've got what i had, where all these words come out but you cant quite work out how to fit them in a song. If i were you, i'd leave it as this, its gorgeous the way it is.

Thanks soda, glad you like them.

Don't worry, I won't over-produce. All the songs on '...honey' were live takes, I just want to see how they might sound as genuine studio versions and it will be nice to have some drums and other guitar parts.

Here is something i wrote yesterday...

a bird in the water swears it cant drown no more
a bird in the water cant fly around anymore
i could be your majesty, the king to your queen
or i could be a tragedy, another song to sing

a bird in the water, just drowns and goes on down
a bird in the water, trys to find someway out
do you remember crying and holding on so tight
did you forget calling, all through the night

i could be your breathe of air
or i could be your pain
i could be a blinding stare,
that leaves a lovely stain

i could be a muddy walk
that leaves you cold in heart
or i could be the summertime
the shirt thats always soaked

then there is an outro in which i just repeat the line

spread this kerosene stain, light this flame

Default Hey

Im new here, big damien fan. Hes my hero and hes done what i want to do, play music to the world.
Here are some lyrics ive been working on. i hopeyou like.


this one doesnt have a name

everytime i step inside i know your taking my,
my heart is yours,
you open up the doors to find a reason,
your perfect footsteps on the floor.

keep in mind your alibi your stepping,
stones scattered on the trodden floor,
never moved in a bustled life,
and you dont want me anymore.

i used to see the day painted in the words,
written in a thousand songs,
lying eyes and im never wise enough to see.

this morning i thought i had it figured out.
a feeling killed by ambiguity,
you close the window dust off the blinds,
but still open up the door.




open your eyes its a new day,
close your ears the crying voices have gone away,
and just you an me here and ive nothing left to say,
but that i want you, and youll never go away

a flying leaf upon the breeze.
thats what i seem to be,
a floating bottle in the sea,
a wooden fence can still hold me,
trapped inside for you to see,
and i wont break free.


chorus

because you hold me down.
and you hold me up
because you want me around
and you wont give up

keep on believing you have your own way,
block out the world and have nothing to say,
its just you and me here no matter come what may,
leave the past behind, why dont you let it lay.


a flying leaf upon the breeze.
thats what i seem to be,
a floating bottle in the sea,
a wooden fence can still hold me,
trapped inside for you to see,
and i wont break free.



because you hold me down.
and you hold me up
because you want me around
and you wont give up


cant you see im breaking?



because you hold me down.
and you hold me up
because you want me around
and you wont give up



please dont steal them if you like them. ill cry.
