as the sun goes through the button hole

I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this sharksfin-haired twirl
Mr. Groans strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer
He dances while his lover plays guitar
He's suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
I wish I was not so beautiful
So come dance this silence down through the morning
Cut it out! Show me some of them Spanish dances
Pass me a bottle, Mr. Groans
Believe in me
Help me believe in anything
I want to be someone who believes

Mr. Groans let me tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful fakemen
"He's looking at you. Ah, no, no, he's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonely

I like to paint myself a picture
Paint myself with blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
Grey is my favorite color
I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso
I would buy myself a gray gay guitar and play

Mr. Groans and me look into the future
Stare at the beautiful firemen
"He's looking at you. Uh, I don't think so. he's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray gay guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely
I will never be lonely
never gonna be lonely

I want to be a lion
Everybody wants to pass as cats
We all want to be big big stars,
but we got different reasons for that
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
and I want to be someone to believe

Mr. Groans and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful he-men
"he's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Groans wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can be

Mr. Groans and me staring at the video
When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me
We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how
But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as can be
Mr. Groans and me, we're gonna be big stars..

oh bother!

another of annie's. she knows better what thing to say

NO MORE 'I LOVE YOU'S'
(Freeman/Hughes)

I used to be lunatic
from the gracious days
I used to be woebegone
and so restless nights
My aching heart would bleed
for you to see
Oh but now...
(I don't find myself bouncing home whistling
buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word

(The lover speaks about the monsters)

I used to have demons in my room at night
Desire,despair,desire,so many monsters
Oh but now...
(I don't find myself bouncing home whistling
buttonhole tunes to make me cry)

*No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me
No more "I love you's"
The language is leaving me in silence
No more "I love you's"
Changes are shifting outside the word

They were being really crazy
They were on the come.
And you know what mammy?
Everybody was being really crazy. Uh huh.
The monsters are crazy.
There are monsters outsides.

Outside the word

but my heart is screaming it.
can you hear my heart's song?

something else really

You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high
And you've got the look of love
Right in your eyes
And I was in a crazy motion
Till you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down

Some people never say the words
"I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words
"I love you"
But like a child
They're longing to be told

They've got a wall in China
It's a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners
They made it strong
And I've got a wall around me
That you can't even see
It took a little time
To get next to me

If something goes worng
I'm the first to admit it
The first to admit it
But the last one to know
If something goes right
Well,it's likely to lose me
It's apt to confuse me
Because it's such an unusual sight
Oh I can't get used to something so right
Something so right

Some people never say the words
"I love you"
It's not their style to be so bold
Some people never say the words
"I love you"
But like a child
I'm longing to be told

They've got a wall in China
And I've got a wall around me
It took a little time
To get next to me

and

something so right

Don't worry about my mess.

I can clean up after ;)

So (s)he said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally
Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

has it been just yesterday?

In a little while from now, if I'm not feeling any less sour I promised myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower, and climbing to the top, will throw myself off in an effort to make it clear to whoever what it's like when you're shattered. Left standing in the lurch, at a church. Where people 're saying,"My God that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining. May as well go home." As I did on my own, alone again, naturally.

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful
bright and gay
looking forward to, but who wouldn't do the role I was about to play?
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around and without so much as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt, all about God and His mercy.
For if He really does exist why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed, alone again, naturally.
It seems to me that there are more hearts broken in the world that can't be mended.
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?

Now looking back over the years and what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to have cried the tears
And at sixty-five years old, My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand, why the only man she had ever loved had been taken leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken. Despite encouragement from me no words were ever spoken and when she passed awayI cried and cried all day. Alone again, naturally. Alone again, naturally.
fuck gilbert o'sullivan
fuck vonda shepard
fuck me too, oh yeah!





again, i'll be your moon



Only tell me that you still want me here
When you wander off out there
To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow
In that dry white ocean alone
Lose out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert

But to stand with you in a ring of fire
I'll forget the days gone by
I'll protect your body and guard your soul
From mirages in your sight
Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert


If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara
Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders
With veils of silk and gold
When the shadows come and darken your heart
Leaving you with regrets so cold
Lost out in the desert
You are lost out in the desert


If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track
I'll be the moon that shines on your path
The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara
If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts
I'll hold you up and be your way out
And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above
For snow to fall on the sahara

standing up.

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you but I can't think of right words to say. I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you. I'm always thinking of you, but my words just blow away, just blow away. It always ends up to one thing, honey and I can't think of right words to say.

Wherever I am babe, I'm always walking with you. I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there. Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you. I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that you can't hear, sad that you can't hear. It always ends up to one thing, honey, when I look and you're not there.

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore and -- each night and day I pray, in hope that I might find you, in hope that I might find you, because hearts can do no more. It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor.
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you but I can't think of right words to say I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you. I'm always thinking of you.... It always ends up to one thing honey and I can't think of right words to say.

SOS to a light house

another

ONE


I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could break all the chains still binding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it is to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me

And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say

Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

One love one blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One love but we're not the same

We got to carry each other
Carry each other

One

One

One

One

One...

I knew how it would feel to be free
I knew how it would feel to be free

my happy days are over



Hi! I'm Vince, I'll be your crazy person tonight.


Ha get a job?
What for?
I'm trying to think

I was good, I could talk
A mile a minute
On this caffeine buzz I was on
We were really hummin
'We would talk every day for hours
We belong to the deadbeat club
Anyway we can, we're gonna find something

We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain


We're the deadbeat club, deadbeat club
We're the deadbeat club, deadbeat club

Going down to Allen's for
A twenty-five cent beer
And the jukebox playing real loud
"Ninety-six tears"
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time

Let's go crash that party down
In Normaltown tonight
Then we'll go skinny-dippin
'In the moonlight

We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time
Anyway we can
We're gonna find something

We'll dance in the garden
In torn sheets in the rain

Oh no! Here they come.
The members of the deadbeat club

from my heroes the B52's

Please love me
i’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
and if you’ll only say you love me baby
things would really work out fine
If you never say goodbye to the best thing in your life. There are things you don't appreciate at all. So it's best that you don't try holding back the time. Are you ever gonna be quite satisfied? Postcard from heaven go to where you belong. Never find the perfect situation untill you know where you're from

If you ever say goodbye, no regrets, I won't ask why. And I wish you all the best luck in the world. Should you ever change your mind, holding back the sunshine.

Are you ever gonna be quite satisfied? Postcard from heaven o to where you belong never find the perfect situation. Untill you know where you're from postcard from heaven go to where you belong. Never find the perfect situation untill you know where you're from

do we really?

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you


I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face

Light up again


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know

I'm always on your mind


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide


Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find You and I collide
You finally find You and I collide
You finally find You and I collide



collide by howie day

for my here and now

reality is a matter of perspective
what feels most real is real
and some realities vary only in degree
i don't want to live in dreams
but i can only truly be with you in dreams
i can really have you only in dreams
and
they can come true

Dreams can come true
Look at me babe if I'm with you

You know you gotta have hope
You know you've got to be strong

Move a step closer
You know that I want you I can tell by your eyes
That you want me too
Just a question of time I knew we'd be together
And that you'd be mine I want you here forever
Do you hear what I'm saying
Gotta say how I feel
I can't believe you're here
But I know that you're real
I know what I want
And baby it's you
I can't deny my feelings
'Cos I know they are true

I've seen you sometimes
On your own and in crowds
I knew I had to have you
My hopes didn't let me down
Now you're by my side
And I feel so good I've nothing to hide
Don't feel that i ever could
Do you hear what I'm saying
Gotta say how I feel
I can't believe you're here
But I know that you're real
I know what I want
And baby it's you
Can't deny my feelings
Because they are true
I'm not making plans for tomorrow
Let's live for tonight
I know I want you baby
So hold me so tight
Put your arms around me
You make me feel so safe
Then you whisper in my ear
That you're here to stay

for the day when you start believing in me

for you because you gave me this song
for you for you made me hear it inside my head

kasi sabi ni jason libre ang mangarap

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be

Not afraid to live life
And fulfil my fantasies
I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise

When you came, you were like
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for new heights
You inspired me to try
Felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'Cos when you came you were like
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I set adrift
You anchor me
You're there for me

Sunshine

That's what you are
My shining star

Sunshine

Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are

My shining star(Sunshine)

Making me feel I'm on top of the world

Telling me that I'll go far

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are

My shining star

Sunshine

Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far

Sunshine
My star, my star..


will you ever sing this for me?

Unwritten Law's

Looking into your eyes
I see all I want to be

And I don't want it to end
If I could only put to words the way
I see you

I only know
I had an angel with me now
And when I fall asleep
You're the one that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers

I wish I could mean all that you mean to me

My angel without wings
My angel

I wish you could see all that you mean to me
But I can never find the words to tell you
And when I fall asleep
You're all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me
And when I fall asleep
You're all that I see
You're in my thoughts and all of my prayers
I wish I could mean all that you mean to me ]

My angel without wings

sleep now and i'll be your moon

Lay down your sweet and weary head. Night is falling You have come to journey’s end. Sleep now and dream of the ones who came before. They are calling, from across the distant shore


Why do you weep? What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see all of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms, you’re only sleeping


What can you see, on the horizon?

Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea, a pale moon rises
The ships have come, to carry you home
And all will turn, to silver glass

A light on the water
All souls pass


Hope fades ... into the world of nightOOOOOOOOOOOOo(day)
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time


Don’t sayOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWe have come now to the end
White shores are calling

You and I will meet again.

And you’ll be here in my armsOOOOOOOOOOOOJust sleeping

What can you see, on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea, a pale moon rises
The ships have come, to carry you home
And all will turn, to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

growth

Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, And all the things you do, And it was called yellow. So then I took my turn, Oh what a thing to have done, And it was all yellow. Your skin Oh yeah, your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, You know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so. I swam across, I jumped across for you, Oh what a thing to do. Cos you were all yellow, I drew a line, I drew a line for you, Oh what a thing to do, And it was all yellow. Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones, Turn into something beautiful, And you know for you, Id bleed myself dry for you, Id bleed myself dry. Its true, look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine. Look at the stars,Look how they shine for you, And all the things that you do.

of deceptive titles and stolen lines

a crazed bitch and a crazed dude, or were they?


you're right. i have no term for this kind of thing. hehehe i thought i was reading the song lyrics of annie lennox's Into the West... If only i can have my words back, my prose and my life, then i will be complete. but this job just sucks you and drains you of your being, of your brain and of your life...

(make that a crazed love and a deluded dude deluded no more)

but you have been complete
completely imperfect
yet, perfectly complete.

your unspoken words had been heard
for your unwritten words have been read

of your life, you, now, made into words flow
your words, you, now, made for you to live

20060702

assent to a silent consent:

into one's being:

let me hear your words
as you would speak to him
to your thoughts
as you think of him

let me have a glimpse of your life as you live for him
let me have a glimpse of
who you really are

let me listen to your heart as it beats for him

let me listen as i live my life
in silence


unto another's:

let me listen as it silently beats
let me listen and let me live, again, my life
in silence

in silence, let me listen
listen, to the other murmured and hushed thundering of your
unsilent heart's caged muted beats
