What are you listening too... with lyrics....

There have been a lot of these threads, but we haven't had one in a while so I thought I would start a new one :)

Placebo- Pierrot the clown

Leave me dreaming on the bed
see you right back here tommorow
for the next round.

Keep this scene inside your head
as the bruises turn to yellow
the swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around
in the city or the suburbs
of this town
be sure to come around
i'll be wallowing in sorrow
wearing a frown
like Pierrot the clown.

Saw you crashing around the bay
never seen you act so shallow
or look so brown.

Remember all the thing's you'd say
how your promises rang hollow
as you threw me into the ground.

And if you're ever around
in the city or the suburbs
of this town
be sure to come around
i'll be wallowing in pity
wearing a frown
like Pierrot the clown.

When i dream, I dream of your lips
When i dream, I dream of your kiss
When i dream, I dream of your fists
Your fists.... your fists

Leave me bleeding on the bed
see you right back here tommorow
for the next round.

Keep this scene inside your head
as the bruises turn to yellow
the swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around
in the city or the suburbs
of this town
be sure to come around
i'll be wallowing in sorrow
wearing a frown
like Pierrot the clown.

Four and Twenty (Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young from the Deja Vu album; written by Stills

Pretty depressing but sung beautifully nonetheless. One of my favorite albums. I need to transfer it from cassette to CD. I still have the original album.


Four and twenty years ago I come into this life,
The son of a woman and a man who lived in strife.
He was tired of being poor and he wasn't into selling door to door
And he worked like the devil to be more.

A different kind of poverty now upsets me so.
Night after sleepless night, I walk the floor and I want to know - why am I so alone?
Where is my woman? Can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?

Morning comes to sunrise and I'm driven to my bed.
I see that it is empty and there's devils in my head.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment. Can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

I have the radio on, and needless to say, they are playing Michael Jackson non stop. I could do with another artist for a bit!

Starman by my idol, the fabulous David Bowie.


Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock'n'roll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no D.J. that was hazy cosmic jive

CHORUS

There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie

I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the TV we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright

CHORUS(twice)

You Had Me At Hello, by A Day To Remember. <3

I'm missing you so much, I'll see you die tonight
Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise
I know the signs are on and I feel this too
None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you

And I'm wasting away, away from you

What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello.

I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
It's simply radiant, I feel more with everyday that goes by
I watch the clock so I can make my timing just right

Would it be okay?
Would it be okay if I took your breath away?

And I'm wasting away, away from you.

What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello

You gave me butterflies at the mailbox, you had me at hello.

What have I gotten into this time around
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello
You had me at hello
