 Favoritt-Tekster

[wertoi]

There's the moon asking to stay
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die
My fading voice sings of love,
But she cries to the clicking of time
Of time

Wait in the fire...

And she weeps on my arm
Walking to the bright lights in sorrow
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
Oh my love
And the rain is falling and i believe
My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind

Wait in the fire...

And I feel them drown my name
So easy to know and forget with this kiss
I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow



Lurer på om Jeff kanskje var litt suicidal..

I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

My time has come
It reminds me of the pain
I might leave
Leave behind

Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die

eller kanskje han var synsk, og visste at han kom til å dø.. han døde ihvertfall ikke før 3 år etter han spilte inn den sangen..

Uansett en bra tekst..

[Glahn]

Old friends
Sat on their park bench like bookends
A newspaper blown through the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends

Old friends
Winter companions the old men
Lost in their overcoats, waiting for the sunset
The sounds of the city sifting through the streets
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends

Can you imagine us years from today?
Sharing a park bench quietly
How terribly strange to be seventy
Old friends
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears...

Simon and Garfunkel - Old Friends

Jeg har altfor mange, men jeg skal starte med å trekke frem et hemmelig spor i slutten av The Shadow av Tanya Donelly. Stykket heter Head For Math, og teksten er så utrolig skjønn. (og jeg vil bruke anledningen til å si meg hjertens enig i Day Is Done, herlig sang).

--

I wish I had a head for math
So I could talk to you
And hear the song behind the sign
And maybe dance there too.
Lose my license, lose my breath
And lose my precious cool.
And fall asleep in the spiral arms of the Milky way with you.

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

Found an ancient photograph
It looks a lot like you.
Wild eyes, and crazy hair reaching out to god knows who
I'll be your compass, I'll be your graph,
And your Rosetta too.
I spy, with my third eye, your hippie-dippy ingenue.
I can learn, that's all I can do,
And fall asleep in the spiral arms of the Milky Way with you.

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

Blessed be, your work through me
Blessed be, you will be done

Skyt meg gjerne for at jeg skriver to tekster while I'm at it, men Street Spirit av Radiohead fortjener sin plass her.

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

[songbird]

Nick Drake-Time has told me

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore.

So I`ll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.

Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn.

Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say.

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide.

So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love.

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind.

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For some day our ocean
Will find its shore.

Enig med toad og baj. Day is Done er fantastisk bra. Egentlig kan jeg ikke komme på noe av Nick Drake som ikke er det...

[Voon]

Av en eller anne grunn så festet denne teksten seg til meg noe så infernalsk. Så den ligger vel som en favoritt ja..

Linkin Park - Easier To Run

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there'd never be a past

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler than change

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It's easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)

Som Baj sa, det er veldig mange, men hvis jeg skal plukke ut en eller tre, så må det bli

Eels - Guest List

are you one of the beautiful people
is my name on the list
wanna be of the beautiful people
wanna feel like i'm missed

hey you with the walkie talkie
i know my clothes are not right
i wish i had my own walkie talkie
that reached to god every night

everyone needs to be somebody
everyone needs to find someone who cares
but i don't know if you know what i mean
'cause i'm never on your list

are you one of the beautiful people
am i on the wrong track
sometimes it feels like i'm made of eggshell
and it feels like i'm gonna crack

everyone needs to be somebody
everyone needs to find someone who cares
but i don't know if you know what i mean
'cause i'm never on your list

...

Ben Fold's Five - Best Imitation of Myself

I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding the rest
So I can be for you what you want to see
I got the gesture and sound
Got the timing down
It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me
Do you think I should take a class
To lose my Southern accent
Did I make me up, or make the face till it stuck
I do the best imitation of myself

The 'problem with you' speech
You gave me was fine
I liked the theories about my little stage
And I swore I was listening
But I started drifting
Around the part about me acting my age
Now if it's all the same
I've people to entertain
I juggle one-handed
Do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself

Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole
Wondering, who I am when I ought to know
Straighten up now time to go
Fool somebody else, fool somebody else

Last night I was east with them
And west within
Trying to be for you what you wanna see
But I can't help it with you
The good and bad comes through
Don't want you hanging out with
No one but me
Now if it's all the same
It comes from the same place
And if my mind's somewhere else
You won't be able to tell
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes it's uncanny to see
You'd really think it was me
The best imitation of myself
Do the best imitation of myself

Paula Cole - Me

I am not the person who is singing
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes I just pacify their egos
I am not my house, my car, my songs
They are only just stops along my way
I am like the winter
I'm a dark cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave

CHORUS:

And it is me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence

I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythmn
I am carrying my prayers
But you can't kill my spirit
It's soaring and it's strong
Like a mountain
I'll go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt into the ground

Chorus

And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing i love
And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing i love
That I love

I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes I know there's something
Yes I know, i know, yes i know

That I love
But it's me
And it's me
But it's me

[Eyden]

Denne har hengt ved meg siden jeg var pitte liten pjokk og den har for såvidt aldri tapt seg:

Queen - The show must go on

Empty spaces, what are we waiting for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

The show must go on, The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking, but my smile... still stays on

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for
I guess I'm learning (I'm learning)
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning, turning) round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

The show must go on, the show must go on, yeah
Oooh, inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking, but my smile... still stays on
Yeah oh, oh, oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends

The show must go on, yeah yeah
The show must go on, go on, go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in, on with the show

I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the, on with the show

The show must go on, go on, go on...

[Sytemarvin]

Pink Floyd - One of my turns

Day after day,
Our love turns gray,
Like the skin on a dying man.
And night after night,
We pretend it's all right,
But I have grown older,
And you have grown colder,
And nothing is very much fun anymore.
And I can feel,
One of all my turns coming on.
I feel,
Cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left,
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened,
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch TV?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate a silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would ya?
Would you like to see me try?
Ooohh. No! Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?

The Distillers - Sick of it all

Murder murder a ripe blood stain
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all
Murder murder a ripe fucking hate
Pulled the fucking trigger cause Im sick of it all

I went to school today with an oozi
Theres this kid he teased me so i shot em in the face
All the worlds light wont ease my pain
It wont cease i'm diseased will you hang me please.
I'm a nihilist, raised on violence.
What do I do I'm american youth
All my life ive lived in silence
Im gonna snap ill get you back

Im a girl im only 13 my body rots
Cause i wont fucking eat
Im a silent star on a b-roll
Im a mirror fucking image of no control
Give me the award i conquered food again
What else is better in life than to purge my pain
If i cut, i wont look like that
If i cut if i cut i wont feel like this shit

The Cardigans - Feathers and down

So you're tryin' to do what they did
your friends that turned to liquid
and got lost in a sea
now you're drowning me

With your talk of four-leaf clovers
you turn to rocks and omen
to beat the ambient harm
that is bruising your karma

Oh i wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
so you could rest and repair

Without the blanket of sorrow
the thick and the grey
your blanket of woe
so heavy and stained

and it only weighs you down

So you thought that getting sober
would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad

Just you sleep a little, baby
leave the world alone and later
if you wake up alive

that old blanket of sorrow
could be feathers and down
your blanket of woe
would leave you alone

and I can love you till you drown

come to me, let's drown
come baby, let's drown
in feathers and down

[Ulven]

Mad world

All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
The tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And they feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me whats my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad World
Mad World

Passer meg meget bra til livet akkurat nå

Jeg har utrolig mange favoritter og klarer ikke vlege bare én som den absolutte favoritt, men jeg skal paste en her, en av de jeg har listet opp på siden min... Den er så vemodig og minner meg så om interrail'en jeg var på og generelt den følelsen man har når man har vært ute i verden, fått masse nye inntrykk også kommer man hjem. Ned på jorda og tilbake til virkeligheten... Vanskelig å forklare, håper at noen av dere forstår hva jeg mener

Sand In My Shoes
Life For Rent

Two weeks away it feels like the whole world should've changed
But I'm home now
And things still look the same
I think I'll leave it to tomorrow to unpack
Try to forget for one more night
That I'm back in my flat on the road
Where the cars never stop going through the night
To real life where I can't watch the sunset
I don't have time
I don't have time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused,
but I wanna see you again

Tomorrow's back to work and down to sanity.
Should run a bath and then clear
up the mess I made before I left here
Try to remind myself that I was happy here
Before I knew that I could get on the plane and fly away
From the road where the cars never stop going through the night.
To real life where I can't watch sunset
And take my time
Take all our time

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused,
but I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Two weeks away, all it takes, to change and turn me around by falling
I walked away and never said that I wanted to see you again..

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused,
but I wanna see you again

I've still got sand in my shoes
And I can't shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to?
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would've been confused,
but I wanna see you again

I wanna see you again
I wanna see you again

Dreaming (Loudon Wainwright)

I'd rather be dreaming than living
Living's just too hard to do
It's chances not choices, noises not voices
A day's just a thing to get through
Living's just too hard to do

I'd rather be dreaming than talking
There's nothing to hear or to say
With ears covered mouth closed the world is opposed
Nothing gets in or away
There's nothing to hear or to say

I'd rather be dreaming than thinking
Thoughts are small comfort to me
Dreams might be pretend but at least dreams end
And I just can't stop thinking you see
Thoughts are small comfort to me

I'd rather be dreaming than sleeping
Just sleeping you're just as well dead
In dreams I can fly, in dreams I don't die
That's why I lie here in this bed
Just sleeping you're just as well dead

I'd rather be dreaming

Mad World, er det Matchbox Twenty? eller er jeg bare rar? hvem har'n isåfall?

[Bakoyma]

Vet det er én som har en låt på Smallville soundtracket som har en nydelig sang som heter det:

Smallville OST - Gary Jules - Mad World.mp3

[sharee]

A little pain,
to cover what's deep inside,
a little truth,
you know we all wanna hide,
but I'm trying,
trying now to get to you,
but you're telling me like you always do,
you say,
don't hate me,
'cuz I'm just that good,
a little misunderstood,
you made me,
and I'm just that good,
you wouldn't change me if you could

[Cista]

Nei, matchbox 20 har ikke mad world - du tenker kanskje på albumet som heter mad season? ...originalen til mad world er det vel tears for fears som har, såvidt jeg vet, men den versjonen de fleste av oss har fått servert gjennom donnie darko eller svisj eller andre kanaler, er gary jules.

og her er... øh... noen av mine favoritter. altså.

Just like heaven (Cure)

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven


I see a darkness (Bonnie 'prince' Billy)

Well you're my friend
(It's what you told me)
And can you see
(What's inside of me)
Many times we've been out drinking
And many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live I won't let go
But can you see it's opposition
Comes a-rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and position
Comes blacking in my mind

And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And did you know how much I loved you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

Well I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
That we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see

O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
O no I see a darkness
And did you know how much I love you
Is a hope that somehow you you
Can save me from this darkness

[Toad_T]

tenkte nok på mad season jeg.
men har visst tears for fears mad world på mp3. får sjekke ut etterpå.

matchbox twenty er forsåvit også meget geniale...

April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August, die she must
The autumn wind blows chilly and cold
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old
