Meurglys III, The Songwriter's Guild Lyrics

 » Van Der Graaf Generator

These days I mainly just talk to plants and dogs -

all human contact seems painful, risky, odd;

so I stay acting god in my own universe,

where I trade cigarettes in return for songs.

The deal's made harder the longer I go on:

I find me gone from all but secret languages.



If only I could phrase satisfactory words

in conversation, to make my passion heard...

If only...



Meurglys III, he's my friend,

the only one that I can trust

to let it be without pretence

- there's no-one else.

It's killing me, but in the end

there's no-one else I know is true,

there's none in all the masks of men,

there's nothing else

but my guitar...

I suppose he'll have to do.



Talking in tongues is easy when you know how,

quite pleasing, but still nothing works out right.

Pressurised lungs, heart bleeding,

you'd better slow down

and show that you can make it through the night.

However dark it seems,

the present is just the present,

beyond it no further darkness lies concealed

and through these desperate dreams,

this longing for friends and comfort,

you know that in the end all will be revealed.

When no more plants or dogs

or rooms are there to hear you,

and no-one is left near you, then you'll see:

in the end there's only you and Meurglys III,

and this is just what you chose to be,

fool!



Though I know all this is just escape,

I run because I don't know where the prison lies.

In songs like this I can bear the weight...

I'm running still,

I shall until,

one day, I hope that I'll arrive.

" Broken Vow" by: Josh Groban


 "...I'd give away my soul to hold you once again. And never let this promise end. I let you go. I let you fly..."


 


"Fool the World" by: Drake Bell


 


"Right in front of me


A couple makes what could melt the snow


making fun of me


a single look never cut me so


 


And I know


to save the conversation


I know


a deeper contemplation


is all I need to make believe


everyone would love me if I could fool the world


 


Walk away from me


I see the change in the atmosphere


what a way to be


to turn the page


just to make it clear


 


and I know


to change the conversation


I know


A deeper contemplation


is all I need to make believe


everyone would love me if I could fool the world


 


To fear 


or to disappear


what a waste of time


what a troubled mind


a fortune find for another day


as your passing by


you look behind


to see what I would say


 


and I know


to change the conversation


I know


A deeper contemplation


is all I need to make believe


everyone would love me 


 


so I go


and change the conversation


I know


a deep conversation


is all I need to make believe


everyone would love me


if I could fool


the world


 


I can't survive another day in the live


without a day in the sun


before you touch me


here's a word of advice


if I were you I would


come get it


come get it


come get it


come get it


 


so won't you tell mewhy it is


that ever corner of my head is a home 


but every fool is the same


it would be tragic if you left me alone


but left me no one to blame


 


well don't it make you wonder what got us here


the covers that were under could disappear


promises keep us in chains my dear..."


 


 


"Remember" by: Josh Groban


 


"Remember when your dreams have ended. Time can be transcended, just remember me."


 


 


"In Her Eyes" by: Josh Groban


 


"I am not a hero,


I am not an angel,


I am just a man!


Man, who's trying to love her!


Unlike any other.


In her eyes I am..."


 


"I Know" by: Drake Bell


 


"Just because


You're a fan


Doesn't mean


You've joined the band


And found a way


To make them think that


You're a star


Silly girl


Only I can fool the world


It's plain to see


'Cause you're just like me..."


 


 


"I'll Be" by: Edwin McCain


 


 



"I'll Be your cryin' shoulder  


I'll Be loves suicide  


I'll Be better when I'm older 


I'll Be the greatest fan of your life"


 


"Only Hope" by: Mandy Moore


 


 



"Sing to me the songs of the stars


of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again


When it feels like my dream are so far


Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again...


 


...I give you my destiny


I'm giving you all of me


I want your symphony 


Singing in all that I am


At the top of my lungs


I'm giving it back..."


 


"Piece of Me" by: Britney Spears


 



"I’m Mrs. ‘You want a piece of me?’


Tryin’ and ******’ me off


Well get in line with the paparazzi


Who’s flippin’ me off


Hopin’ I’ll resort to some havoc


End up settlin’ in court


Now are you sure you want a piece of me?


You want a piece of me…"


 


"Hands Down" by: Dahsboard Confessional


 


"Breathe in for luck,


breathe in so deep,

this air is blessed,

you share with me.


This night is wild,

so calm and dull,

these hearts they race,

from self control.


Your legs are smooth,

as they graze mine,

we're doing fine,

we're doing nothing at all.



Chorus:


My hopes are so high,

that your kiss might kill me.

So won't you kill me,

so I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst,

to break or bury,

or wear as jewelery,

which ever you prefer.



The words are hushed lets not get busted;

just lay entwined here, undiscovered.


Safe in here from all the stupid questions.

"Hey did you get some?"

Man, that is so dumb.


Stay quiet, stay near, 


stay close they can't hear...

so we can get some.



Chorus:


My hopes are so high 


that your kiss might kill me.

So won't you kill me, so I die happy.

My heart is yours to fill or burst,

to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,

which ever you prefer.



Hands down this is the best date I can ever remember,

I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,

the dim of the soft lights,

the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers

and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late

and this walk that we shared together.


The streets were wet,

and the gate was locked so I jumped it,

and I let you in.


And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist

and you kissed me like you meant it."


 


 


"Remember the Name" by: Fort Minor


 


"This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill


Fifteen percent concentrated power of will


Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain


And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!"

I'm a new soul I can do this strange world hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.

But since I came here felt the joy and the fear finding myself making every possible mistake



la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...



I'm a young soul in this very strange world hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and faith.

But why don't please trying to comunnicate finding just in love is not always easy to make.



la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...



This is a happy end cause' you don't understand everything you have done why's everything so wrong



this is a happy end come and give me your hand I'll take your far away.

Will my inner strength, get me through it somehow

Defying the curse that has taken hold

Never surrender

Most songs by The Beatles, The Kooks or The Animals... But I have had this song stuck in my head the last few days. If you haven't heard it, give it a listen.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9roouIbKwU


The Beatles- Rocky Racoon


Now somewhere in the black mining hills of Dakota

There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon

And one day his woman ran off with another guy

Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that

He said I'm gonna get that boy

So one day he walked into town

Booked himself a room in the local saloon.



Rocky Raccoon checked into his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

Rocky had come equipped with a gun

To shoot off the legs of his rival

His rival it seems had broken his dreams

By stealing the girl of his fancy.

Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil

But everyone knew her as Nancy.

Now she and her man who called himself Dan

Were in the next room at the hoe down

Rocky burst in and grinning a grin

He said Danny boy this is a showdown

But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot

And Rocky collapsed in the corner.



Now the doctor came in stinking of gin

And proceeded to lie on the table

He said Rocky you met your match

And Rocky said, Doc it's only a scratch

And I'll be better I'll be better doc as soon as I am able.



Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room

Only to find Gideon's bible

A Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt

To help with good Rocky's revival.

sum 41:


pieces: I tried to be perfect,

But nothing was worth it,

I don’t believe it makes me real.

I thought it’d be easy,

But no one believes me,

I meant all the things I said.



If you believe it’s in my soul,

I’d say all the words that I know,

Just to see if it would show,

That I'm trying to let you know,

That I’m better off on my own.

 


still waiting:


So am I still waiting,

For this world to stop hating?

Can't find a good reason.

Can't find hope to believe in.



Drop dead a bullet to my head.

Your words are like a gun in hand,

You can't change the state of the nation,

We just need some motivation.



These eyes have seen no conviction.

Just lies and more contradiction,

So tell me what would you say?

I'd say it's time

too late



So am I still waiting,

For this world to stop hating?

Can't find a good reason.

Can't find hope to believe in.

 


over my head:


Now I'm in over my head

with something I said

Completely misread

I'm better off dead

And now I can see

How fake you can be

This hypocrisy is beginning to get to me



It's none of my concern

Don't look to me because I don't believe in fame

I guess you never heard

I've met our makers they don't even know your name



But if I had to say goodbye to leave this hell

I'd say my time has served me well

I'm fallin'

I'm fallin'

Hey guys and gals, first time posting anything on this network. Anyways, one of my favs is probably Death Cab's "Sound of Settling", with the lines


"My brain's repeating 'if you've got an impulse let it out'

But they never make it past my mouth"


and the lines  


"I'll sit and wonder, of every love that could've been, If i'd only thought of something charming to say."


 


Man, way to sum up my love life. Ben Gibbard is a genius.

the lyrics from Johnny Cash's 'Hurt' (nine inch nails song)


I hurt myself today

to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole

the old familiar sting

try to kill it all away

but I remember everything

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

you could have it all

my empire of dirt



I will let you down

I will make you hurt



I wear this crown of thorns

on my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

beneath the stain of time

the feelings disappear

you are someone else

I am still right here

what have I become?

my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

you could have it all

my empire of dirt



I will let you down

I will make you hurt



if I could start again

a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way


and Sarah McLachlan 'Angel'


Spend all your time waiting

for that second chance

for a break that would make it okay

there's always one reason

to feel not good enough

and it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

oh beautiful release

memory seeps from my veins

let me be empty

and weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight



in the arms of an angel

fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room

and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort there



so tired of the straight line

and everywhere you turn



there's vultures and thieves at your back

and the storm keeps on twisting

you keep on building the lie

that you make up for all that you lack

it don't make no difference

escaping one last time

it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees



in the arms of an angel

fly away from here

from this dark cold hotel room

and the endlessness that you fear

you are pulled from the wreckage

of your silent reverie

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort there

you're in the arms of the angel

may you find some comfort here


they always make me cry

My mood: very pleased

I love the lyrics from the theme song of The Thomas Crown Affair (1968, with Steve McQueen).

 

It's one of the best soundtracks, done by Michel Legrand.

 

 

 

Here's an excerpt :

 

Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon.

 

Like a carousel that's turning, running rings around the moon.

 

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping, passed the minutes of it's face.

 

And the world is like an apple, whirling silently in space.

 

Like the circles that you find, in the windmills of your mind.

 

 

 

The lyrics were written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.

 

Sting did a version of it for the newer version of the movie, but he did it in a rap style which I do not care for at all.

Medicine Bottle by Red House Painters

giving into love and sharing my time
letting someone into my misery
i told it all step by step
how i landed on the island
and how i swam across the sea
and it crosses my mind
that i may wake to a knife in me
no more breath in my hair
or ladies' underwear
tossed up over the alarm clock
blood dripping from the bed
to a neatly written poem
a heartfelt last line reading
there is no more mystery
is it going to happen my love

it's all in your head she said
morning after nightmare
you're building a wall she said
higher than the both of us
so try living life
instead of hiding in the bedroom
show me a smile
and i'll promise not to leave you

it happened under a rainy cloud
passing through the dark south
we went into a big house
and slept in a small bed
i didn't know you then
as well as you of me
we talked of our sad lives

and we went off separately
i found your overseas souvenirs
holiday greeting cards
and some long forgotten high school fears

it's all in my head i said
banging a piano
i've not been so alone i thought
since kicking in the womb
i drank so much tea
i wrote my letters in kanji
around the block i walked and walked
pretending you were with me

not wanting to die out here
without you

the hurting never ends
like birthdays and old friends
we forget what is flesh blood and bone is human
turning phone lines to airlines
unwilling to face
the love is found on the inside not the outside
and like a medicine bottle
in the cabinet i'll keep you
and like a medicine bottle
in my hand i will hold you
and swallow you slowly
as to last me a lifetime
without holding too tight
i do not want to lose
the thrill that it gives me
to look out from my window
and scowl at the houses
from my world in the bedroom
it's all in my head she read
in her girlfriend's self-help book
it's all his own making
a war with himself
like two sides of a wall
that separates two countries
he shuts out the world
and wants only to love you


not wanting to die out here
without you

 Im not a sappy song person...however,  Joshua Kadison.."Beautiful In My Eyes"

You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
and my only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
The world will turn and the seasons will change,
and all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
you'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
and when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
we can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.
You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.
 

This song is appropriate for so many occassions. For  Mommys, or partners, children, etc. I just think it is SOOO beautiful and says so much about LOVE being an emotion of the heart and not something we determine with our eyes .  WELL NOW I GUESS THAT WAS SAPPY AFTER ALL!  Shhh dont tell anyone,,,I wouldnt wanna ruin my rocker girl image!  lol
