| The Temper Trap – Peter Parker's Alter Ego Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Here's what I hear: I wish I was a pilot Flying on a paper plane I'm standing on the shoulders of giants To be seen by every man And the good folks know I'm a sinner But my intentions are always on time With a slap on the wrist A kiss on the cheek Give to me what's mine mine mine mine mine C-c-c-c-come in What's mine Oh yeah come in Stripped down open and naked No one even seems to care Apparently you know the difference Between money and a millionaire Now the good folks know I'm a sinner My intentions are always on time With a slap on the wrist And kiss on the cheek Give to me what's mine mine mine mine mine C-c-c-c-come in What's mine Oh yeah come in What's mine Come in I used to want to be a hero Till I found out even heroes died I'm Peter Parker's alter ego Waiting on the telephone line And the good folk made me a sinner But the Good Lord's gonna save me this time As you turn your head you go walking into bed But leave with me what's mine mine mine mine mine C-c-c-c-come in And I'll take what's mine to keep I will take my sorrows and tomorrow's dreams complete But I will never know |

| Voxtrot – Silence Is A Burden Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
Couldn't find the lyrics to this anywhere. This is what (I think) I heard but if anyone has corrections, have at it. Two lines I definitely wasn't sure about: "whenever I get angry, in your model(?) face comes walking" - it could be 'modern' or something else entirely "you've had a normal(?) life, I only wanna live" - this also sounded a bit like 'noble' but again it could be something completely different |

| Cults – Bad Things Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
As far as I can tell these are the actual lyrics: Bad things happen to the people you love And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above But honestly I never had much sympathy Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me I'm gonna run run away, run, run away, run away Run away and never come back Run run away, run, run away, run away Show em that your color is black Bad things happen to the people you love And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above But honestly I never had much sympathy Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me It would take some time just to see me shine For the whole world to see me here in all of my light But honestly i've given up on all the fight Till one day I'll have you here wrapped up in my light I'm gonna run run away, run, run away, run away Run away and never come back Run run away, run, run away, run away Show em that your color is black I'm gonna run run away, run, run away, run away Run away and never come back Run run away, run, run away, run away Show em that your color is black [semi-unintelligible speaking] Bad things happen to the people you love And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above But honestly I never had much sympathy Cause those bad things, I always saw them coming for me Bad things happen to the people you love And you'll find yourself calling up to heaven above But honestly I never had much sympathy Cause next time you're praying, you'll be praying for me |

| Blair – Half-Moon Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Love this song. Some slight corrections as I hear them: One two three four The halfmoon is keeping my time I'm halfway out of my mind I called you tell you to sleep called me mom I said that's me Cause I gave birth to the sheep last night took pictures in case a fight Occured to prove to you it's true I have my herd we'll follow you to the halfmoon to the halfmoon to the halfmoon To the half-moon the sun in the sky where the sidewalk is a parking lot of sneakers that are overused from telling bad jokes and spreading good news To the big bears living in the woods we'll be there to collect the goods Better times and cooler places a pool table is making faces at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon At the halfmoon and it's full tonight and your cigarette is drawing lines, and the animals connect the dots with pulley dreams and drunken thoughts. At the halfmoon your eyes lights are out and no one dares to shout at the baby bird who flutters by with just one wing he'll make you cry at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon At the halfmoon with the daylight fades and the headlights drive away But in the bar the place stays dark, hear him howl hear him bark at the halfmoon and I cannot see. at the halfmoon and I cannot breathe The writing that's on the wall, it says I tried and I love you all at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon at the halfmoon And the animals are pretty too they can fuck you up like people do |

I'm pretty sure that line is actually: yelling in unison "die! die! die!" It makes way more sense than "da da da". I think the singer's voice just distorts it a bit so that it's hard to make out. |

Nevermind, it's Nelly Furtado. I knew it sounded familiar. Also I think a few small corrections are in order: Hustlers grab your guns Shadow weighs a ton Hustlers--Hustlers grab your guns Shadow weighs a ton (repeat) I'm on the run, for my life It's seems that everything that you said was right Has come undone, lost my sight But have you ever thought you've done your best When you were under the gun, that's right I know I've seen this place before, but it's never been so fun Yeah, it's never been so fun I've been on the run This shadow weighs a ton It's starting to make sense to me I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me To get it done I'm on the run I've been on the run Shadow weighs a ton I know I found a recipe, for me But I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me You know I'm haunted on overseas Haunted on each coast Play them like Ebeneezer I made them see the ghost Back from the future jaunt in Japanese kimonos Even though the streets show love to try to see me grow I often see me floatin, but my shadow it weighs a ton Call it baggage, I use it all to advantage I can't make you love me This time it's on you And you can't try to deny, these words when they're true I'm on the run I've been on the run This shadow weighs a ton I know I found a recipe, for me But I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me To get it done I'm on the run I've been on the run Shadow weighs a ton I know I found a recipe, for me But I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me To get it steppin Your tongue is like a weapon This is Kevin from heaven and yet So are ye, since the age of seventeen I've been taking apart microphones You've been taking apart men you've blown And throwing skeleton bones In the closet, animals strike curious poses They feel the heat between us But you need a woman Gloria Steinem diamond defeat us Carry my fetus, I'm like the man in the moon, we kiss then you swoon On the run I've been on the run This shadow weighs a ton It's starting to make sense to me I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me To get it done I'm on the run I've been on the run This shadow weighs a ton I know I found a recipe, for me But I can't really make you love me No I can't really make you love me I'm haunted (repeat) |

| Another Cynthia – What I Want Lyrics | 14 years ago |

These are wrong quite a but: The fury of excuses Mostly bores me to death Just leave the answers lying While I'm keeping what I've kept It's got me on the edge of my seat We're waiting for a change I pulled myself together I stood and started saying I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah You can all see my failure They're easy enough to find Do what you want, you always talk a lot But I can't waste the time I could spend it with my baby You know I'll keep her up all night It's overblown, and it's not a joke And you're on your own this time I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah Jury from the sidelines Seems to make the air smell stale I won't be locked up by right and wrong Gonna leave and never need the bail The time is blowing by, knocked me offa my feet My head hurt from the pain The clock was a-ticking, the conducter was a-callin all aboard, it's time to take this train I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah You can all see my failure They're easy enough to find Do what you want, you always talk a lot But I can't waste the time I could spend it with my baby You know I'll keep her up all night It's overblown, and it's not a joke And you're on your own this time You can all see my failure They're easy enough to find Do what you want, you always talk a lot But I can't waste the time I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want Yeah I'm taking what I want I'm taking what I want |

| Hotspur – Chandelier Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
These are a bit more cleaned up than the version above: You've made it crystal clear You are the chandelier I am the floor beneath you So low I cannot reach you You are the constellations You are the stars above Light years away from being Something that I could touch And I, I, I've been blinded by your glow Cause it shines like oh, oh, oh You were sent from heaven to save me from my wicked ways And all the loneliest nights, turn into reasons to stay And I can hope oh oh, that soon you'll know oh oh Why I leave all the lights on, cause it's dark when you're gone You are the morning light Cast over open eyes Into the heart that found you Now it won't beat without you And every headlight bleeds A trail of memories A flashback in the night Like halos in your eyes And I, I, I can't find my way alone Cause you shine like oh, oh, oh You were sent from heaven to save me from my wicked ways And all the loneliest nights, turn into reasons to stay And I can hope oh oh, that soon you'll know oh oh Why I leave all the lights on, cause it's dark when you're gone I lost sight, of the compass in my mind I lost my way, tangled up inside Now all my dreams are hanging from a wire And it's crystal clear, you are the chandelier You were sent from heaven to save me from my wicked ways And all the loneliest nights, turn into reasons to stay And I can hope oh oh, that soon you'll know oh oh Why I leave all the lights on, cause it's dark when you're gone You were sent from heaven to save me from my wicked ways And all the loneliest nights, turn into reasons to stay And I can hope oh oh, that soon you'll know oh oh Why I leave all the lights on, cause it's dark when you're gone |

| Marina and the Diamonds – Mowgli's Road Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
Here's what I hear: Cuckoo! Ten silver spoons coming after me One life with one dream on repeat I'll escape if I try hard enough Till King of the Jungle calls my bluff Oh Lord, I have been told I must take the unforsaken road (forsaken road) There's a fork in the road I'll do as as I am told I don't know (don't know don't know don't know don't know) Who I want to be Cuckoo! You say Y-E-S to everything Will that guarantee you a win? Do you think you will be good enough To love others and to be loved? Oh Lord, now I can see (now I can see) The cutlery will keep on chasing me (forsaken road) There's a fork in the road I'll do as as I am told I don't know (don't know don't know don't know don't know) Who I want to be We are the spoons nattily mean (?) We scoop our way into your dreams You know the knives are bloody cold And lead you down the unforsaken road There's a fork in the road I'll do as as I am told I don't know (don't know don't know don't know don't know) Who I want to be As for meaning, I have no idea. Perhaps it has something to do with the obligations of being born to wealth and privilege (silver spoons) and doing what you want with your life versus what others (ie; your parents) expect you to do (I have been told/I must take the unforsaken road/There's a fork in the road/I'll do as as I am told). |

| Jonathan Coulton – Re: Your Brains Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| Xaq27, I'm pretty sure the brains/eyes line is mostly just there for the funny but I think in the song Bob the zombie is trying (rather unsuccessfully) to assure Tom that they are not bloodthirsty fiends but reasonable zombiefolk. Sure, they hunger incessantly for brains but they're not monsters who run around eating people's eyeballs. Which for some reason (perhaps the fact that he's incapable of higher brain functions do to decomposition) he sees eating someone's eyes as a much greater offense that simply devouring their brains. | |
| Florence + the Machine – Swimming Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I have a version (length: 3:00) that goes like this: Your songs remind me of swimming, Which I forgot when I started to sink Dragged further away from the shore, And deeper into the drink I was sinking, now I'm sunk And I was drinking, now I'm drunk Oh I was sinking, now I'm sunk, And I was drinking, oh but now I'm drunk I tried to remember the chorus, I can't remember the verse Cause that song that sent me swimming, Is now the life jacket that burst Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor, Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore Your songs remind me of swimming, But I can't swim anymore Then all of a sudden, I heard a note, It started in my chest and ended in my throat Then I realized, Then I realized, I was swimming, Yes I was swimming, And now I'm swimming, Yes I am Your songs remind me of swimming, Which I forgot when I started to sink |

I'm not sure if these are right. Maybe they are and I'm hearing things but it sounds like: I was full by your count I was lost but your fool Was a long visit wrong? Say you are the only So many foreign worlds So ready to be full So ready for us So ready for us, A creature fear I was teased by your blouse Spit out by your mouth I was lulled by your low Seminary song Tear on tear on Take all on the wind on Soft bloody nose Send another form So many territories Ready to reform Don't let it form us Don't let it form us A creature fear So did he foil is 'own? Is he ready to reform? So many tourists So many forests A creature fear |
