Favourite song lyrics

[livid]

I guess it all goes somewhere, you know that

Like that bullshit you talked before Culdesac

I didn’t know he had it in him

Couldn’t see me as Spider-Man, but now I’m spittin’ venom

Now you payin’ attention, pick your fuckin’ face up

When I wanna be a superhero I just wake up

Renaissance man with a Hollywood buzz

I refuse to go back to not likin’ who I was, because

[jack95]

It's funny how the first chords you come to

Are the minor ones that come to serenade you

It's hard to accept yourself as someone

Someone you don't desire

Someone you don't want to be

Laura Marling, Rambling Man. I'm slightly proud that that's my angsty teenager song rather than terrible pop-punk.

Well with buck shot eyes and a purple heart

I rolled down the national stroll

and with a big fat paycheck strapped to my hipsack

and a shore leave wristwatch underneath my sleeve

in a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels

I rowed down the gutter to the blood bank

and I'd left all my papers on the Ticonderoga

and I was in baaaaaaaad need of a shave

and so I slopped at the corner of cold chow mein

and shot billiards with a midget until the rain stopped

and I bought a long sleeved shirt with horses on the front

and some gum and a lighter and a knife

and a new deck of cards with girls on the back...

Tom Waits, Shore Leave. This was when I realised what I wanted to be when I grew up; "Tom Waits." This ambition has been thwarted by the fact I'm a middle class English geek, but a man can dream. A man can dram. (Edit: or 'dream,' even.)

Oh no

How'd I sink so low?

Ain't got the patience

I need my medication

I need to crawl out

Out of this hole, now

Before the darkness grabs ahold and takes my soul

Medicine by Hollywood Undead

Feel it, all the love, I swear that it's in the air

Leaving me floating forever into infinity

I can see the colours dance when I close my eyes

Witnessing mysterious design

I can feel my body rush

From the love inside of me

Can't you see the joy of life is right before your eyes?

Infinite bliss, infinite love

Take a chance, close your eyes and just dream

It sets me free

Don't you know baby i'm a leading man
I dig down deep when i say i love you
And i can hold my own with the best of them
I guarantee you, you will never see nothing like this again
California, i hope that it wakes you
From all of the darkness
That i couldn't break through
'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
Don't you know that i did the things i could
I rubbed your back when you were sleeping
But all along baby it was understood
That you were leaving, absolutely
Since the very first day we met
California, i hope that it wakes you
From all of the darkness
That i couldn't break through
'cause i'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
I'm gonna miss you, i'm gonna miss you
Like i miss the ocean
When i go to sleep
Man, it's gonna break my heart

Those two verses strike a chord. That idea of being with someone you know it won't work out with but for no reason other than they don't think it will work out. There is a pain of defeat to it, but one that doesn't hurt because it was always there. I love how snarky but sincere the first verse is too -- you can tell that the singer is upset that he is being relegated to the supporting cast so to say.

Sorry it's so mainstream and mushy, but this is literally always in my head when I see a certain somebody, the last verse in particular. I'm also going to own up and say I prefer the Adele version of it to every other one.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no-one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue and
I'd go crawling down the avenue

No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

I could make you happy make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do

Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love

To make you feel my love
