The Postal Service- Sleeping In

Last week I had the strangest dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy
It was just a man with something to prove
Slightly bored and severely confused
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center
And became famous on that day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
ooh, ooh

And then last night I had that strange dream
Where everything was exactly how it seemed
Where concerns about the world getting warmer
The people thought that they were just being rewarded
For treating others as they like to be treated
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases
For mailing letters with the address of the sender
Now we can swim any day in November

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
(Now we can swim any day in November)
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in
(repeat with various ooh's)

The Mouse and the Model- Dresden Dolls


Nothing is certain at this time of day
You could reverberate you could decay
The mouse and the model are laughing at us
We'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust

Let's start a new heart
The new charts are in
We'll take we'll break them
And make them give in

By counting your blessings you wind up in debt
It starts with your family and ends in your bed
You jekyll and hyded when you could have let
Your guard down your dress up you must be upset

Let's start a new heart
The new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them
And make them give in

It's dark over here on the flip side of reason
The teaser could be something easy like
"They did it in a book"
You're a crook
You're a fake
You're committed
If you did it say you did it
If you didn't
Suck it up and say you did

Let's start a new heart
The new charts are in
We'll tax them relax them
And mate them for fun

The vote by a landslide
For jekyll and hyde
Mackenzie macavity
Bonnie and clyde

(It's about TV, as far as I can tell... I love how this song sounds, though the cause against TV isn't one that's close to my heart. *shrug* But I like the clever symbolism.)

I would have loved to see you grow old friend.
I would have loved to have known you till the end.
I would have loved to see you smile again.

I would have loved you turn grey.
I would have loved to have just one more day.
But all I know is that you've gone away.

Oh, but I swear that I can hear you say
'Don't worry, don't be sad.
Think of the time we had.
There is no future or past.
And life is not meant to last'

Life is like crucial surgery
A shard of glass from a heart that bleeds
Sometimes like a bar room fight so keep throwing punches till you get it right
Life is like a carousel it will make you dizzy it will spin like hell.

Life is a clear gold string
It's everything you need.
We have nothing but our dreams
where things are not quite like they seem.

When you get it
That's when you'll see me again.
When you get it
That's when you'll see me again.

Man- by The Bird and The Bee (NEW FAVORITE SONG.)

Don't, don't, don't, don't leave me, don't leave me here
Skirt in the air with muted cares, all limbs and love absurd
I know I say "Just let me stay"
But stomp the ground, push me around and send me on my way

No, no, no don't leave me, don't take my word
I've lost my head, I need my bed
I promise you my bird
When I wake all sweet and sound
Without a care or woe
I'll thank you dear, I'll kiss you love
No matter friend or foe

CHORUS
I want to be the best I can
For me, for you, for every man
But I can slip, I lose my place
This shamefulness is hard to face

No, no no don't tell me of what I've done
I might ignore, just close the door before you have your fun
You tell it with such grace and wit
I know it can be humorous but I don't have the heart for it

Oh, oh oh don't look, I've lost my way
I'll button up, hold out my cup and beg for a cliche
I had no rights to a complaint
I guess it's just a little nuts or all a bit insane

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, please let me keep my head
It wouldn't do you any good just hanging by a thread
I want to be the best I can
Nose to the ground, it's pound for pound or stick it to the man

REPEAT CHORUS x 2

oh my god I am not the only one who still listens to this song


John Henry's mammy had about a dozen babies,
John Henry's pappy broke jail about a dozen times;
The babies all got sick and when the doctor wanted money,
He said: I'll pay you a quarter at a time
(Startin' tomorrow),
That's the pay for a steel driver on this line.
...
Well John Henry hammered in the mountain;
He'd give a grunt and he'd give a groan with every swing.
The women folks for miles around heard him and come down,
To watch him make the cold steel ring.
(Lord what a swinger!)
Just listen to that cold steel ring.

I could listen to this song all day long! Thanks to whoever posted a link to another one of his YouTube videos in another thread. 

I'm Bo Yo - Bo Burnham

Now I don't know if all boy scouts are gays
But they could probably "tie the knot" in like fifty different ways...
I got a safe full o' cherries, cause I pop it and lock it,
A girl's like a fridge, once a week you should stock (stalk) it,
And girl, if your into a rimmin' its only safe if your swimming,
And girl don't sit on the couch cause I treat my objects like women.
I spit fire like I just blew a demon
My shits so hot I leave the toilet bowl steamin'
Girl I'm gonna tear it (tarot), like the cards of the gypsies
You'll bleed for so long you'll get monthly ellipses.
If the pants are loose, girl I'll replete (re-pleat) ya.
You're a first time vegan and its nice to meet (meat) ya

I'm Bo, yo
And I'm the greatest rappa eva
And I'll weather your weather whether you think I'm clever or not
Think your better your not
Don't need a sweater I'm hot
I'm a real G shawty that can really find your g spot

Go to a
Vagina orchard, count 1,2,3
Spin that plant around you got a third world country (whirled c*nt tree)
That's right, consider yourself warned
I'm offensive and creative like handicapped porn
Your playing with your breasts, excuse me, can I try it ma'am?
Your pushin' em together like a titty Venn Diagram
Look at that CRACK 'scuse me can I buy a gram?
Right below your diaphragm, ass looks like your hidin' ham.

First base, were making out
Second base, I'm getting faked out.
Third base, I'm getting take out
And I'd try to take it home if I knew I'd take it out
But I just don't know I said I just don't care
My flo's so cold I need a tampon from a polar bear
Cause you can smell and spell my stink
B.O. lingers and it makes you think

Chorus...

Girls are like donuts when I be bustin bo nuts,
I can make em cream-filled or give them a layer of glaze
I'm like Doug's friend Skeeter whenever I meet her.
'Cause I skeet her so hard you could call her Patty Mayonnaise.
My girl is epileptic cause shes the one I'm jerkin with
Common you Asian child laborer show me what your workin' with...

Cause there's an inverse relationship between respect and sects
I'm talking bout religious sects like a Mormon sect
That says you cant have sex with members of different sects, but you cant have sex with members of the same sex
So if the sects cant be different, the sex can be same, then the only sex left is some left hand shame
And girl I left you cause you left the game and if that don't feel right then you can write my name

Chorus....

Look pass the skin and look to the lyrics
I run miracle circles around you like spherical lyrics
This isn't about ironic pigment
If you're imagining this then I'm a chronic figment.

My junks so long that it hangs and swings, so at the nude beach people think I'm lookin' for lost rings
Play the skin flute while your big boy sings and if you want to take it all wear African neck rings.

Haters call me gay, but that ain't hatin'
'Cause I'm not homophobic, my morals are straight and
If I'm in the closet then you are below me (blow me)
Takin' the b-a-t out of basement, homey

Let's! Get down, to business!
To defeat! The Huns!
(HOO-AY!)
Did they send me daughters,
When I asked, for sons?

You're the saddest bunch I ever met!
But you can bet,
Before we're through,
Mister I'll, make a man,
Out of yooou!

Tranquil, as a forest!
But on fire, within!
Once you find your center,
you are sure, to win!
You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot!
And you haven't got a clue!
Somehow I'll, make a man,
out of youuu!

"I'm never gonna catch
my breath..."
"Say good-bye to those
who knew me!"
"Boy was I a fool in school for cutting gym!"
"This guy's got 'em scared to death!"
"Hope he doesn't see right through me!"
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim!

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river!
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great, typhoon!
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a rag-ing fire!
Mysterious as the
dark side of, the moon!

Time is racing toward us!
'till the Huns, arrive!
Heed my every order!
and you might, survive!
You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up! Go home! You're through!
How could I, make a man,
out of you?

(Be a man)
We must be swift as
the coursing river!
(Be a man)
With all the force
of a great, typhoon!
(Be a man)
With all the strength
of a rag-ing fire!
Mysterious as the
dark side of, the moon!

Yuki Kajiura - Vanity

Enter the scenery of love
lovers are in pain
they blame and pick on each other
you play melodies of love
forgotten phrases
tender and sweet

Come a little bit closer
don't stay in the shadows my boy
(la la la la la la la)
the melody's fading.....
now or never, love will go

I'll be there by your side
share your fears in the silent redemption
touch my lips, hold me tight
live in vanity for a while

As winter melts in the sun
boys will be out running and reaching for the light
oh mother please find me in that place
before the memories tear us into pieces

Clinging to affection, we somehow do learn to live
(la la la la la la la)
in endless motion
never coming back, love will go

you'll be there by my side
you may never know my devotion
feel my breath in the quiet night
live in vanity for ever


won't you feel my gentle emotion
let us live in peace with conviction
if you're here please hold me.....
