a couple by vic ruggiero (it's too hard to cut them down to single lines or verses):

 

american psychopath

 

I get high off the sunset

I waste my time singin' love songs

I buy my lover in a magazine

She is all I need

To get me asleep tonight

 

I send my screams to the dark sky

I use my pain as a alibi

I breathe deep off a desert wind

Contained within

Her carriage, corn-fed sight

 

Chorus:

'Cause I'm American psychopath

I'm goin' home to watch bloodbath

I can watch it on my TV screen

It is all I need

To get me asleep tonight

I like the feeling of light beer

And potato skin

To put before my nose

I get the feeling of sour cream

And razor blades

Deep inside my clothes

Wearin' shoes that are too tight

Friday night, seventy-nine

Polyester nose

American psychopath

Oh mama, yes I am

And everybody knows

 

 

 

She got a dress like a radio

She got a voice like a echo

She got shoes like cinder blocks

With white socks

And cockfight polkadots bright

 

I watch her eyes like a TV set

As she connects me to the outlet

The soft admission of cold electric

Into my veins

It's like a ripe and red in a sunset

 

parking lot

Things fall to pieces and I

The ones I have in my avatar

 

'Cause you are everything The only thing that matters

You are everything The only thing that I need

You are everything The only thing that matters

Yes you are everything You are the air I breathe

 

(Stabbing Westward - The only thing)

Wintersleep Listen [listen, listen] I am currently obsessed with this song!

 

And even if the words don't sound right,

I will love you till the day my heart dies,

till the day my heart dies.

 

And even if this ain't the right light,

you're prettier than anything,

you're prettier than anything that I'd

prettier than anything that I'd write.

 

There's something in the way our lips touch,

there's something in the way we're stuck together

and they don't build love like that no more.

 

You said you'd like it when the thunderstorms came,

said you'd like if the thunderstorm just

pulled you piece by piece away

"So excuse me for forgetting

But these things I do

You see I've forgotten

If they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is well I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen"

 

(Ewan McGregor & Allesandro Safina - Your Song, Moulin Rouge Soundtrack)

... and from the same song...

 

"My gift is my song

And this one's for you

And you can tell everybody

That this is your song

It maybe quite simple

But now that it's done

Hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world"

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist

Those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?

Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this?

This little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss

Am I alone in this...

I'm always confused about this song, who wrote it? I have a version of Tori Amos singing with Damien Rice but I never know who wrote it.

Oh, I love that song. I love this line:

 

"you're prettier than anything that I'd

prettier than anything that I'd write"

that is THE best line....sometimes when I am bored during my lectures I write out lyrics, and lately that one is all over my notes...

 

Edit: Oh ya some lyrics

 

Matchbook Romance: Tiger Lily

why does tonight, have to end?

why don't we hit restart,

and pause it at our favorite parts. <3<3<3 I love this part ;)

another wonderful song: Elkland - Apart

 

"you and i will never be apart, apart

you will never erase from my heart, my heart

the distance can't belie

the only hope i have inside

now you do what you do

i'll do what i do

i can't stop dreaming of you"

VNV Nation - Beloved

 

"it's so quiet I can hear

my thoughts touching every second

that I spent waiting for you

circumstances afford me

no second chance to tell you

how much I've missed you

[...]

my beloved do you know

how many times I stared at clouds

thinking that I saw you there

these are feelings that do not pass so easily

I can't forget what we claimed was ours"
