Marion Cotillard – La Fille De Joie Lyrics 15 years ago
subtitles from the film:

I was the dreamer, you were the schemer
You deserve what you got
I don't love you
I let my hate for you show
The slut who's buried below in the family plot
I don't love you
There's a place where dreams come true
They don't let in girls like you
There you don't need pretty things
No pearls or diamond rings
You were the one who could not sing
But you wanted everything
You thrived on being bad
And I wanted what you had
What's it like down there
Down where our father lies
Down where our mother sighs
We'll all go there to rot
I don't love you
You made it and you're proud
But please don't talk so loud
And you know what?
I don't love you
The girls who got paid to screw
Laugh in their tombs about you
They know pretty things don't last
They're soon a thing of the past
But pretty things mean so much
They're so sweet, so soft to touch
Yes, I was the dreamer and you were the schemer
You're me, I'm you
You're me, I'm you
Their pretty things, that's who we were
We loved them, but did they care
Now they lie down below
There's room for us to grow
There's so much damage to repair
For all the pain and the despair
Why is life so cheap
Why must we weep
Sleep, Lucie, sleep
Sleep, Lucie, sleep

Marion Cotillard – La Conne Lyrics 15 years ago
subtitles from the film:

He drove up in a dream car for two that he used to woo
So she climbed into his car, that dream car for two
And she took off all she wore, but the devil wanted more
Just close your eyes
Love and death's the prize
The man got his way in his cabriolet
...
...
...
Just close your eyes
Love and death's the prize
A few months went by
The big babe with big black eyes is taken away
It's bye-bye time for you
Help! She can't believe it's true
Just close your eyes
Love and death's the prize
When you're fifteen, a voice says to you
Your solution you can get from the medicine cabinet
The bimbo wept
She knew where they were kept
She'd come up against a wall
She swallowed them all
Just close your eyes
Love and death's the prize

Sparta – Atlas Lyrics 18 years ago
actulally, it's

Well I loved this town like you did
I'll burn it to the ground
Packed your things and then
you were gone
Called a new place home

Like you do
And you'll never change

Well I got a feeling inside
Its going to happen again
There's a fire deep in your eyes
They've never seen before

Like you do
And you'll never change

More than lights expose
who you are


xam/kibe - at least you're listening ;)

Jack's Mannequin – La La Lie Lyrics 20 years ago
Actually it's "la la lie" throughout the song...never "la la la lie"

Anyway, I disagree that you can just dismiss the whole "la la lie" as a hook.

It's more like "I've got friends who will help me pull through." But the "lie" is one of two things as far as I can tell: Either he doesn't actually have friends to help him pull through, OR, the manner in which his friends will help him pull through is by lying--telling him what he wants to hear.

The Killers – Change Your Mind Lyrics 20 years ago
futurfaildnovlist--I'm with you except for your interpretation of the line "I can't even recognize myself behind"

I think it means just that the person being sang about doesn't think about the one singing...he's not on her mind

Keane – Bend and Break Lyrics 21 years ago
"aching, waiting for night--waiting for life to start"

its as if he's not satisfied with his actual life--to him, he's living only when he's sleeping. in your dreams, you can write your own path

these lyrics make me think of the flaming lips song 'bad days'--"in your dreams ... have it your way" http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=62489

i can relate. sometimes i prefer i had the life i have when i dream than when i'm awake
