Linkin Park – Leave Out All The Rest. Beautiful song from a band not known for beautiful music.
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else caredAfter my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here(Chorus)
So if you’re asking me
I want you to knowWhen my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest (x2)(End chorus)
Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I’ve madeI’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you(Chorus)
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are(Chorus)
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you areI love that track ….Linkin Park may be thrashy, but they come out with some brilliant stuff.
Warm tape – Red Hot Chillis
Shiver for me girl
Deliver for me my darling
Pushin’ up to you
A river that runs right thru you
Swim for your smile
In a blue rock quarry
Make it for me baby
You won’t be sorry
Shiver for me now
Deliver for me my darling[Chorus:]
Miles and miles of nether worlds I roam
Settle for love you’re never far from home
Carry me down into the waters of
Carry me down into the waters of love
Two of us were made of angels dust
I’ve been around
But not around enoughShadow my free form
A woman that I could keep warm
Quiver for me girl
Give me your head and shoulders
Shot from the pages of love and glory
Sleeping next to you and I’m in your story
Shadow my free form
A woman that I could keep warm[Chorus]
Let’s go
I know, I make it for two
Intuitions only what you take from it
I know, I make it for two
You were there and I was fortunate
I know, I make it for twoShiver for me now
Deliver for me my darling
A living that I could
Be giving to you my sweet love
Swim for your smile
In a blue rock quarry
Make it for me baby
You won’t be sorry
Shot from the pages of
Love and glory
Sleeping next to you
And I’m in your dreamSettle for love
Lay down your head & look to your window
Where do you go when its not where you’re going
And how do you see when the light isn’t shining
Where you could be if you worked out the timingAnd if I were a king & you were a lady
What would I sing to say what I’m saying
And would you believe the verses left open
My heart on my sleeve the rhyming all brokenSo sell me a river and I’ll skate away
to the downstream where I did play
So easy minded like a hill on the skyline
tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel when each word comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
And how do you do the things you do to you
And how do you do the things you do to youI am a witness
To a land of a million fools
All placing bets on life
And hate the ones who lose
And all who’re lonely
And never get the chance to say
That their one and only
Would be the chance to even playAnd you won’t see
And baby now I won’t hear
These blind communications
Only last throughout the year
And half of what we’re saying
Is halfway near the truth
And blind communications
For a million hearts and foolsHello Monday
The weekend’s just a blur
I’ve been burning bridges
And now I’m begging at your door
So I’ll keep on working
‘Cos it’s a chance for me to pay
But too much talking
When you believed the words I sayAnd you won’t see
And baby now I won’t hear
These blind communications
Only last throughout the year
And half of what we’re saying
Is halfway near the truth
And blind communications
For a million hearts and foolsBaby, baby, baby
What’s it gonna be?
Baby, baby, baby
Is it him or is it me?
Don’t make me waste my time
Don’t make me lose my mind babyBaby, baby, baby
Can’t you stay with me tonight?
Oh baby, baby, baby
Don’t my kisses please you right?
You were so hard to find
The beautiful ones, they hurt you
Every timePaint a perfect picture
Bring to life a vision in one’s mind
The beautiful ones
Always smash the picture
Always every timeIf I told you baby
That I was in love with you
Oh Baby, baby, baby
If we got married
Would that be cool?
You make me so confused
The beautiful ones
You always seem to loseBaby, baby,
Baby, baby,
Baby, baby,
Baby,
What’s it gonna be baby?Do u want him?
Or do u want me?
Cause I want u
Said I want u
Tell me, babe
Do u want me?
I gotta know, I gotta know
Do u want me?
Baby, baby, baby
Listen 2 me
I may not know where I’m going babe
I said I may not know what I need
One thing, one thing’s 4 certain baby
I know what I want, yeah
and if it please u baby
please u, baby
I’m begging down on my knees
I want u
Yes I do
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I want youYes I do
Not sure if I’ve done this one before and I ain’t trawling through 60 + pages.
Hate Me by Blue October
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want from you, will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space(Chorus)
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow.
Hate me for all the things i didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finaly see what’s good for you
(End chorus)I’m sober now for three whole months, it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away, that I’ll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind(Chorus)
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows in the street for every mistake I ever made
And like a baby boy, I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry, and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling ‘Make it go away’
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered ‘How could you do this to me?’(Chorus)
Haunting stuff
Tom Waits – Postcard from Minneapolis
hey charlie i’m pregnant
and living on the 9th street
right above a dirty bookstore
of euclid avenue
and i stopped takin dope
and i quit drinkin whiskey
and my old man plays the trombone
and works out at the trackand he says that he loves me
even though its not his baby
and he says that he’ll raise him up
like he would his own son
and he gave me a ring
that was worn by his mother
and he takes me out dancin
every saturday night.and hey charlie i think about you
everytime i pass a fillin station
om account of all the grease
you used to wear in your hair
and i still have that record
of little anthony & the imperials
but someone stole my record player
now how do you like that?hey charlie i almost went crazy
after mario got busted
so i went back to omaha to
live with my folks
but everyone i used to know
was either dead or in prison
so i came back to minneapolis
this time i think i’m gonna stay.hey charlie i think i’m happy
for the first time since my accident
and i wish i had all the money
that we used to spend on dope
i’d buy me a used car lot
and i wouldn’t sell any of em
i’d just drive a different car
every day, dependin on how
i feelhey charlie for chrissakes

truth of it?
i don’t have a husband
he don’t play the trombone
and i need to borrow money
to pay this lawyer

come valentines dayA world war
Was announced
Days ago
But they didn’t know
The lazy sunbathers
The lazy sunbathersThe sun burns through
To the planet’s core
And it isn’t enough
They want moreNothing
Appears
To be
Between the ears of
The lazy sunbathers
Too jaded
To question stagnation
The sun burns through
To the planet’s core
And it isn’t enough
They want moreReligions fall
Children shelled
“…Children shelled ? That’s all
Very well, but would you
Please keep the noise
Down low ?
Because you’re waking
The lazy sunbathers …”
Oh, the lazy sunbathersFit
Don’t laugh – but there are people in this world
Born as boys – and fighting to be girls
People standing in their way
Some are straight and some are gay
Calling them the drag queens
Say you can’t be one of us
You only have yourself to blame
You don’t fitDon’t laugh – but there are people in this town
Be polite say a whiter shade of brown
People that they gotta fight
Some are black and some are white
Calling them the half-breeds
Say you can’t be one of us
You only have yourself to blame
You don’t fitThat’s what you’re there for – square pegs in square holes
Round pegs in round
You get too big then they can’t make new holes
So they’ll cut you down
All ugly sisters must wear glass slippers
Or get out of townBut don’t cry – If the people in your street
Lead a life that’s more or less complete
Little problems every day
Little problems go away
Kid yourself you’re fighting for life
Kid yourself you fight for love
But maybe in some other lifetime
You won’t fit
And if you don’t fit
You’re fit for nothing at all
