15. Fate Day by Day - Mieka Pauley I don't need some crystal ball For all its mystique, it's just glass And to see right through is to see nothing at all And all the while, the right moments pass And I'll take fate, I'll take fate On a day by day basis I will not wait, I will not wait For what the world may not create I'll take fate day by day The only future we can foresee Is just what our minds project So when he crept into the back of my mind In the face of fate, who was I to object? And I'll take fate, I'll take fate On a day by day basis I will not wait, I will not wait For what the world may not create I'll take fate day by day I focused on the embers that just fade with time Hoping for a spark from a fire that won't revive Believing in a fate that left me only one In lamenting loss of fire, I overlooked the sun And I'll take fate, I'll take fate On a day by day basis I will not wait, I will not wait For what the world may not create I'll take fate day by day 16. Prophecy - Remy Zero Consider this a sign. This is a train in the night And now it's time for you to go You know you've had a healthy life, boy. You walk this world like you're a ghost Your hands are coming through the needles Sick of your tragic and the evils I am the keeper of the songs of everyone Look into the sun and see your soul is dying Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone How are you feeling? Seem a little sick to me now This is a coming of the times You are a witness to the movement If all you're seeing is your lies You had your chance, but now you've blown it. You want this world so you can own it I am the keeper of the songs of everyone Look into the sun and see your soul is dying Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone How are you feeling? You seem a little sick to me From the light on high A chance to change your fate Forgiveness falling down On those who chose to wait Remember the time Find yourself home again Deep within your life Find yourself a home again find yourself home again It's a choice You have chosen your own In the old days When the world was young and bright If you raise the mask, who will lead us home tonight Look into the sun and see your soul is dying Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone How are you feeling? Look into the sun and see your soul is dying Used to feel the faith, but now you're tired of trying Should have left alone what you have stolen from everyone How are you feeling? Seems a little sick It seems a little sick It seems a little sick to me now 17. Corduroy - Pearl Jam The waiting drove me mad...you're finally here and I'm a mess I take your riches back...can't let you roam inside my head I don't want to take what you can give... I would rather starve than eat your bread... I would rather run but I can't walk... Guess I'll lie alone just like before... I'll take the varments back...oh, and I must refuse your test Push me and I will resist...this behavior's not unique I don't want to hear from those who know... They can buy, but can't put on my clothes... I don't want to limp for them to walk... Never would have known of me before... I don't want to be held in your debt... I'll pay it off in blood then I'll be wed... I'm already cut off and I'm dead... I'll end up alone like I began... Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed Take my hand, not my picture, spilled my tincture I don't want to take what you can give... I would rather starve than eat your breast... All the things that others want for me... Can't buy what I want because it's free... (2x) Can't be what you want because I'm... I ain't s'posed to be just fun Oh, to live and die, let it be done I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began... 18. Waltz #2 - Elliott Smith First the mic then a half cigarette, Singing Cathy's clown, That's the man she's married to now, That's the girl that he takes around town, She appears composed , so she is I suppose, Who can really tell, She shows no emotion at all, Stares into space like a dead china doll. I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow. Now she's done and they're calling someone Such a familiar name, I'm so glad that my memory's remote, Cos I'm doing just fine hour to hour note to note, Here it is the revenge to the tune, You're no good, You're no good, you're no good, you're no good, Can't you tell that it's well understood. I'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on, I'm tired, I'm tired. Looking out on the substitute scene, Still going strong, XO mom, It's okay, its alright, nothing's wrong, Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans To just leave me alone, In the place where I make no mistakes, In the place where I have what it takes. 19, Photograph - Weezer If you want it, you can have it But you've got to learn to reach out there and grab it 'Cause everybody wants some love Shooting from the stars above And though my heart will break There's more that I could take I could never get enough If you need it, you should show it 'Cause you might play so monastic that you blow it 'Cause everybody wants some, ooh Something they can barely know And though my heart will break There's more than I can take I could never let it go It's in the photograph It's in the photograph It's in the photograph of love 'Cause everybody wants a dream Something they can barely see And though my heart will break There's more than I can take I could never let it be It's in the photograph It's in the photograph It's in the photograph of love If you blew it, don't reject it Just sit drawing up the plans and re-erect it 20. Sincerely, Me - Better Than Ezra I can still recall The way you looked that fall In your favorite dress The day before you left And since that time I wrote a simple rhyme And I miss you and the things you do The time we had, the good and bad The day we met that I can't forget Signed Sincerely, Me Are you cross at your loss? But could you be more obsessive If I'd given you the chance But since you asked, a reply but it's the last And I miss you and the things you do The love you fake, the heart you break. The buzz you caught, and the times we fought Signed Sincerely, Me. Oh, my God, and don't forget P.S. I moved away to a new address It's far away and I think it's best Signed Sincerely, Me. Why can't it be like it was? The rain falls, the summer ends. Why can't it be like it was? You always said you'd never go away. And I confess, I was such a mess I drove for fifteen hours On this nasty Greyhound bus Yes, I've returned. (You'd think that I would have learned.) But I miss you and the things you do The times we had, the good and bad The day we met that I can't forget Signed Sincerely, Me Could you really be a bitch like that? Broke my door when you stole the cat. Someone said that you even laughed Signed Sincerely, Me Why can't it be like it was? The rain falls, the summer ends. Why can't it be like it was? You always said you'd never go away. And I miss you... The hope you give. The life you live. The cross you bear. The way you swear. The face you make When you masturbate. Our bed in the moonlight. And the night we fought You were so distraught. And the lies I denied Even when you cried, God knows I apologize, Signed Sincerely, Me. Why can't it be like it was? The rain gone, the sun returns. Why can't it be like it was? You always said you'd never go away. You'd never go away. You'd never go away. Signed Sincerely, Me. 21. My Baby Loves A Bunch of Authors - Moxy Fruvous Well you should see my story reading baby, you should hear the things that she says, She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez." Uhh-huh! Cuddle up with William S. Burrows, leave on the light for Bell Hooks, I've been flirtin' with Pierre Burton 'cause he's so smart in his books I like to go out dancing, My baby loves a bunch of authors My heart's so broke and bleedin' Baby's just sitting there doing some reading So I started watching some TV, played my new cd player too, She said: "Turn it off or I'll call the cops and I'll throw the book at you." All this arguing made me get dizzy, called my doctor to come have a look I said: "Doctor hurry!" He said: "Don't worry, I'll be over when I finish my book" I like to go out dancing, My baby loves a bunch of authors We've been livin in hovels Spendin' all our money onbrand new novels So I got myself on a streetcar and it drove right into someone, You know the driver said: "I was lookin' straight ahead!" But he was reading the Toronto Sun "So?" So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need She said: "We'll get your love growing, but before we get going, here's some books I'd like you to read." I like to go out dancing, My baby loves a bunch of authors Lately we've had some fricton 'Cause my baby's hooked on short works of fiction So we split and went to a party, some friends my girl said she knew But what a sight 'cause it's authors night and the place looks like a who's who Now I'm pounding the ouzo with Mario Puzo Who's a funny fella? W.P. Kinsella Who brought the cat Would Margeret Atwood? Who needs a shave? He's Robertson Davies! Ondaatje started a food fight, salmon mousse all over the scene Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing, these writer types are a scream! I like to go out dancing, My baby loves a bunch of authors We'll be together for ages Eatin' and Sleepin' and Eatin' and Sleepin' and Eating and Sleeping und Turnin' pages. Yeah! 22. Tribute - Tenacious D This is the greatest and best song in the world Tribute Long time ago, me and my brother Kyle, here We was hitchhiking down a long and lonesome road All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon in the middle of the road, and he said: "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eats your souls" Well, me and Kyle, we looked at each other, and we each said, "OK" And we played the first thing that came to our heads, just so happened to be the best song in the world, it was the best song in the world. Look into my eyes and it's easy to see one and one make two, two and one make three. It was destiny Once every hundred thousand years or so, when the sun doth shine and the moon doth blow, and the dust doth glow. Needless to say, the beast was stunned, a WHIP! CRACK! with his whippy-tail, and the beast was done. He asked us, "[SNORT!] Be you angels?", And we said "Nay!, we are but men ROCK!" This is not the greastest song in the world This is just a tribute Couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, NO! This is just a tribute, Whoa To the greateast song in the world --melodic rambling--- And the peculiar thing my friends, the song we sang that fateful night didn't actually sound anything like this song This is just a tribute You gotta believe it And I wish you were there It's just a matter of opinion -- more rambling and general incoherence -- All right All right |
