I just wasn't made for these times
The Beach Boys (Wilson/Asher) - from Pet Sounds.


I keep looking for a place to fit
Where I can speak my mind
Ive been trying hard to find the people
That I wont leave behind

They say I got brains
But they aint doing me no good
I wish they could


Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasnt made for these times


Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found


Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out
Whats it all about

Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin for myself
But what goes wrong

Sometimes I feel very sad
Sometimes I feel very sad
(cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)
Sometimes I feel very sad
(cant find nothin I can put my heart and soul into)

I guess I just wasnt made for these times
I guess I just wasnt made for these times
I guess I just wasnt made for these times
I guess I just wasnt made for these times
I guess I just wasnt made for these times
I guess I just wasnt made for these times

Stars - switchfoot


Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

Chorus:
I've been thinking 'bout everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
Ive been thinking of the meaning of resistance
Of a world beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

Chorus:
I've been thinking 'bout everyone
everyone, you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

YOW!


Everyone everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, yeah, everyone you feel so empty

When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
when I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone...

OW!

Don't Know Much~ Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville

Look at this face
I know the years are showing
Look at this life
I still don't know where it's going

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

Look at these eyes
They've never seen what mattered
Look at these dreams
So beaten and so battered

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

So many questions still left unanswered
So much I've never broken through

And when I feel you near me
Sometimes I see so clearly
The only truth I've ever known is me and you

Look at this man
So blessed with inspiration
Look at this soul
Still searching for salvation

I don't know much
But I know I love you
And that may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all I need to know

I don't know much
But I know I love you
That may be all there is to know








~~I just love you so much~~

Goodbye - Natalie Imbruglia

Everyday's the same
I feel them merge
I try to separate
Resist the urge
But they tell me
I'll be fine
That it will all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
But the words won't play
And there's no
Easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye

Keep my head on straight
And don't look down
With all I've pushed away
I'm losing ground
But they tell me
I'll be fine
That it will all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter

But the words won't play
And there's no
Easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye

And from the sidelines
Watch me fall down

And I don't understand
The things I do
But I'll probably be fine
As long as I keep moving
I'll try to write it down
So things just keep improving

Still the words won't play
'Cause there's no
Easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
Ever unfolding, ever expanding, ever adventurous and torturous and Never Done..

Making my entrance again with my usual flair, sure of my lines.. No one is there..

Bekka Bramlett - we all fall down

I woke up this morning wondering if I slept any at all
I can't quite remember a struggle so big
or ever feeling so small

it took all my strength just to get out of bed
as the ache in my heart went straight to my head

I just can't keep my feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

Sometimes the answers dont't fall from the sky
Sometimes they hurt too much to hear
and sometimes you sweep the truth under the rug
and deny when it reappears

I know there's no use in running away
When it's hard enough to stand up and say

That I can't keep my feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

I wish I could find a road out of this place
Somehow I lost my way
I wanna show you a light in my eyes
and a smile up on my face

Maybe tomorrow is counting on me
To learn my lessons today
I'll start by taking a step at a time
And stop throwing my blessings away

I'll get myself up and I'll brush myself off
And take back some of the pride that I've lost
'Cause you can't always keep your feet on the ground
I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down

I guess we all learn the hard way and we all fall down
Ever unfolding, ever expanding, ever adventurous and torturous and Never Done..

Making my entrance again with my usual flair, sure of my lines.. No one is there..

Alanis Morissette - Would Not Come

if I make a lot of tinsel then people will want to
if I am hardened no fear of further abandonment
if I am famous then maybe i'll feel good in this skin
if I am cultured my words will somehow garner respect

i would throw a party still it would not come
i would bike run swim and still it would not come
i'd go travelling and still it would not come
I would starve myself and still it would not come
if I'm masculine I will be taken more seriously
if I take a break it would make me irresponsible
if i'm elusive I will surely be sought after often
if I need assistance then I must be incapable
i'd be filthy rich and still
it would not come
I would seduce them and still
it would not come
I would drink vodka and still
it would not come
i'd have an orgasm still
it wouldn't come
if I accumulate knowledge
i'll be inpenetrable
if I am aloof no one will know
when they strike a nerve
if I keep my mouth shut the boat
will not have to be rocked
if I am vulnerable I will be
trampled upon
i would go shopping and still
it would not come
i'd leave the country and still
it would not come
i would scream and rebel still
it would not come
i would stuff my face and still
it would not come
i'd be productive and still it would not come
i'd be celebrated still it would not come
i'd be the hero and still it would not come
i'd renunciate and still it would not come
Ever unfolding, ever expanding, ever adventurous and torturous and Never Done..

Making my entrance again with my usual flair, sure of my lines.. No one is there..

Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy

You fingertips against my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

john ralston - when we are cats.


Baby there will come a day when our lives are over.
I know those movies make you sad, but you’ve got my shoulder.
You don’t believe in heaven, babe.
Well then, I don’t either.
But maybe there will come a world where we’ll find each other.

If I leave before you do, I swear I’ll find my way to you.
I’ll hold you tightly when you sleep; I’ll kiss you.

Baby just the other day I got these strange sensations.
Like somebody stepped on my grave; such a bad vibration.
I wondered if our memories would stay when we go.
I wondered would we recognize each other’s soul.
But maybe there will come a world where we’ll find each other.

If I leave before you do, I swear I’ll find my way to you.
I’ll hold you tightly when you sleep; I’ll kiss you.

Well that’s our love. Stronger than blood’s bond. Stronger than blood

I cannot find a way to describe it
It's there inside; all I do is hide
I wish that it would just go away
What would you do, you do, if you knew

What would you do?

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable; come and take me away


I feel like I am all alone
All by myself I need to get around this
My words are cold, I don't want them to hurt you
If I show you, I don't think you'd understand
Cause no one understands


I'm going nowhere (on and on and)
I'm getting nowhere (on and on and on)
Take me away
I'm going nowhere (on and off and off and on)
(and off and on)

All the pain I thought I knew
All the thoughts lead back to you
Back to what was never said
Back and forth inside my head
I can't handle this confusion
I'm unable; come and take me away

Elbow lyrics :: Ribcage lyrics

We blew the doors didn't we?
Pissed in their champagne
And did a real thing didn't we?
Gave ourselves a name
And peeled away the shame
I wanted to explode
To pull my ribs apart
And let the sun inside
Red stain blossoms
And all you have is kisses
And when the sunshine
Throwin' me a lifeline
Finds it's way into my room
All I need is you
We called that love
All you have is kisses
And all I need is you

I built my house,
Where the ocean meets the land,
It's time to live again,
And pull my dreams out of the sand.

Bette Midler - The Rose

Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need

I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long

and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose

Glen Hansard and the Frames

Scratching at the surface now
And I'm trying hard to work it out
And so much has gone misunderstood
This mystery only leads to doubt
And I didn't understand
When you reached down to take my hand
And if you have something to say
You'd better say it now
Cause this is what you've waited for
A chance to even up the score
And as these shadows fall on me now
I will somehow
Cause I’m picking up a message Lord
And I’m closer than I’ve ever been before
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now, Say it to me now
And I'm looking for a sign
In this dark uneasy time
So if you have something to say
Say it to me now


So the above is an adaptation from the song, but I think it explains perfectly what I’m feeling now.

“Closer than I’ve ever been before”
“This dark uneasy time”
Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities, simply by being given the opportunity to do so

My place - come visit - all welcome, especially you

Sugar Mountain - Neil Young

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.

Its so noisy at the fair
But all your friends are there
And the candy floss you had
And your mother and your dad.

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.

Theres a girl just down the aisle,
Oh, to turn and see her smile.
You can hear the words she wrote
As you read the hidden note.

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.

Now youre underneath the stairs
And youre givin back some glares
To the people who you met
And its your first cigarette.

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.

Now you say youre leavin home
cause you want to be alone.
Aint it funny how you feel
When youre findin out its real?

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.

Oh, to live on sugar mountain
With the barkers and the colored balloons,
You cant be twenty on sugar mountain
Though youre thinking that youre leaving there too soon,
Youre leaving there too soon.
up, up, down, down, that's the way life goes around.

-me

you don't need to do it, you never need to do it.

Atreyu - Slow Burn

It begins with a dark glowing ember,
something black burning it's way out of me.
Searing the flesh,
pain is the only thing I feel,
scars all I see.

Oh no the fire's burning my insides again,
what can I do to silence my desire tonight?
Flames consume all reason leaving only ashes left
You won't catch me for regretting my decision,
I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes.


I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best in me,

What i see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more (tell you more)
about the lies I lead.


That is how I choose to douce the flames in gasoline
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shake me to the bone (to the bone)
I know it's over but I can't go home tonight.

But after this I feel as empty as the night before,
feel the pain and yet I'm still begging for more.

Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thoughts
My life's a mess and I can't find a way to fix it.

I can't keep telling myself what I want to hear,
I can't just close my eyes
(my eyes, my eyes, my fucking eyes)

I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best in me,

What i see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more (tell you more)
about the lies I lead.



Calling, calling out.
The darkest reaches of my soul,
are riddled with self-doubt.

Crawling, crawling out,
My will to fight will more than suffice,
when others would lay down.

It's only as dark as you make it.

I know that it's killing me,
and it's poisoning the best in me,

What i see, I don't want to believe.
So let me tell you more (tell you more)
about the lies I lead.

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Everywhere I go
There's something I really need
Everyone I know
Is someone I want to be
Even though
I don't really know me


I better pick it up
Before I let it slip away
I better stick it out
Before I take another day
Into mouth
Everything I say fades out

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Can I open up your eyes?
Only when the clouds break?
Can I feel the light?
Even though the world shakes
Every night,
You're my quiet satellite

Can I hold you close?
Do her out of focus
And everything I know
I don't even know this
It all falls through
I'm here and I hear you

Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Cause I need to, just to reach you
Do you hear me?
Coming clearly?
Am I hollow?
Just an echo


Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...
Echo, echo...
We come, we go-woah
No I don't want to be just another
Echo, echo...

natalie walker--quicksand

I must have been so stupid
I must have been so out of touch
He must have been so clever
Convincing me that this was really love

Desperate for words
Lost in a maze
It fell apart
I lost my place
It hurt so bad
I cried for days
Time healed all pain
Now I’m okay

How many times can my heart break
Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love
Will I every get there
Or am I drowning in quicksand
With no relief to come

I’ll rise from all my sorrow
Let the sun shine on my face
All alone in comfort
Its my solitude I will embrace

I will rise from my sorrow…

goodnight - the birthday massacre

First place
On a classroom wall
Every turn of the face
Can help to break the fall from a domestic disgrace
Every rumour displaced
Is lost and found

A lack of discipline
One hand to cut the other
So unprofessional
You're not a friend
You're just a lover
Nothing exceptional
This is correctional

Mirror on the wall
Frame the picture
Reflect this kiss
To wish us all
Goodnight

First day
In a victims chair
Every surface replaced
Can help to keep you fair for a correcting gaze
Every feature displayed
Will match your crowd

A loss of innocence
One hand to wash the other
Be a perfectionist
You're nothing if
You're just another
Something material
This isn't personal

Mirror on the wall
Frame the picture
Reflect this kiss
To wish us all
Goodnight

We're all dancing
To the same sad song
And we're not sleeping
But it wont take long

Illicit conviction
Confessions incomplete
Correction
Submissive
Restriction
Instructions will repeat
Direction

Mirror on the wall
Frame the picture
Reflect this kiss
To wish us all
Goodnight
<center>See you dance away
all this bitter pain
See you move in ways
beyond our days
In devotion I linger
And with drained veins
I falter again


Some deranged and some devour to haunt me down in my darkest hour</center>

Billy Joel :tongue:

Vienna...

Slow down, you crazy child
you're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?

Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out
You've got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You're gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,...
Too bad but it's the life you lead
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know
You can't always see when you're right. you're right

You've got your passion, you've got your pride
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize,..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don't you realize,. Vienna waits for you
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Where the ocean meets the land,

And pull my dreams out of the sand.
