Monkey in Your Soul

Admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:28:10 +0000

I got one and you want four
It’s so hard to help you
I can’t keep up with you no more
And you treat me like it’s a sin
But you can’t lock me in
You want me here with you right to the end
No thank you my friend

I fear the monkey in your soul

Won’t you turn that bebop down
I can’t hear my heart beat
Where’s that fatback chord I found?
Honey don’t you think it was wrong
To interrupt my song?
I’ll pack my things and run so far from here
Goodbye dear

I fear the monkey in your soul

~ Steely Dan

The Day the Earth Stole Heaven

Admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:34:04 +0000

Let me tell you about a friend
She contends she will always love me

It’s this ability to lie and deceive
That has lost me completely

I could remind her of the facts
Make her calm down and relax
But why bother?

It’s the shallowest defence
To my utter astonishment it is over

That little girl she wants to leave me
That little girl wants something more.

I’m optimistically inclined
Given time she’ll change her mind
It’s unlikely

Let me tell you about a friend
She contends she will always love me

If you look at her sideways
She will let you know

Today’s the day the earth stole heaven

If you look at her sideways
She will curse you out

Today’s the day the earth stole heaven

If you look at her sideways
There can be no doubt

It’s over

Even in the Quietest Moments

Admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:25:59 +0000

Even in the quietest moments
I wish I knew what I had to do
And even though the sun is shining
Well I feel the rain — here it comes again, dear
And even when you showed me
My heart was out of tune
For there’s a shadow of doubt that’s not letting me find you too soon
The music that you gave me
The language of my soul
Oh Lord, I want to be with you.
Won’t you let me come in from the cold?

Don’t you let the sun fade away
Don’t you let the sun fade away
Don’t you let the sun be leaving
Won’t you come to me soon

And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean’s deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling I’m Nature’s own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They’re raining from the sky
Well there’s a lot of me got to go under before I get high

Don’t you let the sun disappear
Don’t you let the sun disappear
Don’t you let the sun be leaving
No, you can’t be leaving my life
Say that you won’t be leaving my life
Say that you won’t be leaving my life
Say won’t you please, stay won’t you please
Say won’t you please, stay won’t you please
Lord, won’t you come and get into my life
Lord, won’t you come and get into my life
Say won’t you please, stay won’t you please
Say won’t you please, stay won’t you please
Lord, don’t go

And even when the song is over
Where have I been — was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open
Where do I begin — may I please come in, dear?

~ Supertramp

in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape
broken branches trip me as i speak
just ’cause you feel it doesnt mean its there
just ’cause you feel it doesnt mean its there

There’s always a siren singing you to shipwreck
(Don’t reach out, don’t reach out
Don’t reach out, don’t reach out)

Steer away from these rocks we’d be a walking disaster
(Don’t reach out, don’t reach out
Don’t reach out, don’t reach out)

just ’cause you feel it doesn’t mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)

just ’cause you feel it doesn’t mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)
There there!

why so green and lonely?
and lonely
and lonely

heaven sent you to me
to me
to me

we are accidents waiting waiting to happen.

we are accidents waiting waiting to happen

If not…

They say this guy’s, this guy’s in love with you
Yes, I’m in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile, I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you I’m glad I got to know you
Cause
I’ve heard some talk, they say you think I’m fine
Yes, I’m in love, and what I’d do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so, don’t have me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don’t let my heart keep breaking
Cause
I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love, in love with this guy

If not I’ll just die

Tell me now, is it so, don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don’t let my heart keep breaking
Cause
I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love, in love with this guy

If not I’ll just die

Darkest Birds

Admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:01:58 +0000

Here come the darkest birds
To burst the bubble
End of a perfect day
Head full of trouble

Here come the darkest birds
All tar and feathers
Why did none of them dream of trying
To make things better?

Those are the mimicking kind
They are, they are
I number myself among them
The furthest star

And this is the road I walked on
When I shot you down
All words of forgiveness useless
They won’t help me now
And I should’ve been there for you
When you called my name
I promise to tread more lightly
Though what’s gone is gone
It’s such a shame

Here come the darkest birds
They’ve got their reasons
All their pretty colours are gone
Washed out of season

Those are the soaring kind
They are, they are
I number yourself among them
The brightest star

And this is the road I walked on
When I shot you down
All words of forgiveness useless
They won’t serve me now
And I should’ve been there for you
When you called my name
I promise to tread more lightly
Though what’s done is done
It’s such a shame

~ Nine Horses

We could re-write the final scene (Rpt. Verse 1)

Admin — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:33:28 +0000

every time we do this
i fall for her
wave after wave after wave
it’s all for her
i know this can’t be wrong i say
(and i’ll lie to keep her happy)
as long as i know that you know
that today i belong
right here with you
right here with you…

and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head’s on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we’ll be here forever
and we’ll never say goodbye…

i’ve never been so
colourfully-see-through-head before
i’ve never been so
wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
and all i want is to keep it like this
you and me alone
a secret kiss
and don’t go home
don’t go away
don’t let this end
please stay
not just for today

never never never never never let me go she says
hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
why do you cry? what did i say?
but it’s just rain i smile
brushing my tears away…

i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i’ve cried over you

how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?

why why why are you letting me go? she says
i feel you pulling back
i feel you changing shape…
and just as i’m breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky
surrenders it all…

i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i’ve cried for you
it’s always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
away from home again…

I Surrender

Admin — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:09:16 +0000

I opened up the pathway of the heart
The flowers died embittered from the start

That night I crossed the bridge of sighs and I surrendered

I looked back and glimpsed the outline of a boy
His life of sorrows now collapsing into joy

And tonight the stars are all aligned and I surrender
My mother cries beneath a southern sky and I surrender

Recording angels and the poets of the night
Bring back the trophies of the battles that we fight

Searchlights fill the open skies and I surrender

Outrageous cries of love have called you back
Derailed the trains of thought, demolished wayward tracks

You tell me I’ve no need to wonder why I just surrender

I stand too close to see the sleight of hand
How she found this child inside the frightened man

Tonight I’m learning how to fly and I surrender

I’ve travelled all this way for your embrace
Enraptured by the recognition on your face

Hold me now while my old life dies tonight and I surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender

An ancient evening just before the fall
The light in your eyes, the meaning of it all

Birds fly and fill the summer skies and I surrender

She throws the burning books into the sea
“Come find the meaning of the word inside of me”

It’s alright the stars are all aligned and I surrender
My mother cries beneath the moonlit skies and I surrender

My body turns to ashes in her hands
The disappearing world of footprints in the sand

Tell me now that this love will never die and I’ll surrender
My mother cries beneath the open skies and I surrender

~David Sylvian

Helpless

Admin — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 21:09:15 +0000

The air is warm
I hear the wind in the trees
I know I’m there but I’ll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
- I never felt better now -
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and all the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I’m certain
- I never felt better now -
A garden is it’s own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where’s my place?
- I never felt better now -
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
And for once I’m certain
- I never felt better now -
Don’t want your help
Don’t need your help
Don’t want your help
Don’t need your help
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: “help me please someone”
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: “help me please someone”
The waters clean, I see that is full of dimes
For every wish I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
- I never felt better now -
- I never felt better now -
Don’t want your help
Don’t need your help
Don’t want your help
Don’t need your help
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: “help me please someone”
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: “help me please someone”
HELP!

Mantra

Admin — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 20:41:11 +0000

Its the dark night of my soul
And temptations taking hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling

I feel loved
I feel loved

As the darkness closes in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But Im not taken in

I feel loved
I feel loved

From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel desired
I can feel my soul on fire

I feel loved
I feel loved

~Depeche Mode
