But then when I saw you
Playing soccer with your friends
I knew that day
Our love would never end.
And this whole time
It blows my mind
Oh well whatever
We're so good together
When you marry me
You'll be my wife.
Nope, it was kind of a joke to post that. It's a snippet from a song named Red Sweater from a band named The Aquabats. I was a big fan of those guys a while back and I heard that song again for the first time in a long time so it was stuck in my head.
What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
I don't really want to dance
Girl, I just wanna get in your pants
"let them know you realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round"
Flaming Lips
Flaming Lips are pretty good.
I'll go for the wonderfully random Modest Mouse lyrics:
Well I ain't sure, but I been told
He's baking cakes inside our souls
Stayed awake, took a nap
Got myself my bottles back
I'm breakin' them out on the street
Walkin' around in my bare feet
I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat
I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never gonna cut his hair
It takes more time to make a fake
We night swam down in the lake
Washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattle on 'bout bad inventions
I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a Rat
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well I don't know, but I been told
You never die and you never grow old
Or the cryptic lyrics of Tool
What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.
They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.
The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.
Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks.
She's a hypnotist collector,
You are a walking antique.
I know Dylan is overquoted. I've always been your average fan, you know, owner of Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood on the Tracks. But I heard a live version of She Belongs to Me on NPR in the car the other day, driving to my girlfriend's house, and it struck me again, as it does every six months or so, "Yeah, this guy is unreal." He just has SO MANY jewels like the one above.
The new band I drum for is doing a cover of Richard Hell's "Love Comes in Spurts." So this bit has been in my head the past week:
I was a child
who wanted love that was wild
though tight as slow motion
but crazed with devotion
insane with devotion
a whole other notion
I was fourteen and a half
and it wasn't no laugh
Love comes in spurts (oh no it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (it hurts)
Love comes in spurts (oh no, cuz)
Love comes in spurts (it always hurts)
And while I'm at it, all you liars better beware:
Look out cheif
Ridiculous creep
Look out theif
You'll lose your teeth
Well you got power. Now there's competition
And your blind side's turned to the boys with a mission.
Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry lee lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Jesus built my car--it's a love affair.
Mainly Jesus, and my hotrod.
Yeah, **** it.
Wah wah wah wah!!!
from cracker, euro-trash girl
Got a tattoo in Berlin
and a case of the crabs.
A rose and a dagger
on the palm of my hand.
And I'll search the world over
for my angel in black.
Yeah, I'll search the world over
for a Eurotrash Girl.
from estelle by dan bern
Well, one morning I was sitting in front of Dino's place
with Jake the Shears, a guy from Philly
Who gives free mohawks
There were a couple of young painters
I was hopin' to come by
So I could give 'em some advice
Yeah, I was sittin' there updating my list of enemies
"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The
time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say ..."-Pink Floyd.
A song that reminds me of my honeymoon.
Stroke 9 - Vacuum Bag
"I was just living in the moment
and the moment was all about you"
Never held an ocean in the palm of my hand.
I like the bridge of "They'll Need a Crane" by They Might Be Giants:
I'm just tired, and I don't love you anymore,
and there's this restaurant we should check out
where the other nightmare people like to go.
I meant nice people, baby wait,
I didn't mean to say "nightmare"
I could go on and on with TMBG
if you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Chorus:
Picnic time for teddy bears,
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to play and shout.
And never have any cares.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears.
If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
TO CHORUS
Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
Absence makes the heart lose weight yeah - from Prefab Sprout "When love breaks down".
