BRIGHT EYES LYRICS - Mushaboom

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

"Mushaboom"

Originally by Feist

Helping the kids out of their coats

But wait the babies haven't been born

Unpacking the bags and setting up

And planting lilacs and buttercups



But in the meantime I've got it hard

Second floor living without a yard

It may be years until the day

My dreams will match up with my pay



Old dirt road

Knee deep snow

Watching the fire as we grow old



I got a man to stick it out

And make a home from a rented house

And we'll collect the moments one by one

I guess that's how the future's done



How many acres how much light

Tucked in the woods and out of sight

Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap

On a little road barely on the map



Old dirt road

Knee deep snow

Watching the fire as we grow old

Old dirt road

Rambling rose

Watching the fire as we grow well I'm sold

STREET DOGS LYRICS - Jakes

STREET DOGS LYRICS

"Jakes"

It started back in '94 with the passing of a Boston Jake

And all it took to grab my heart was the sound that the bagpipes made

So on with my life I go with experiences gained through work

But the dream to get on the job in my heart and mind always keeping me focussed



It was a tribute to a fallen brother and from across the nation

Peers showed up to show their appreciation



Boston Jakes are on duty and they're ready

At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady



In double zero the job came in, the dream was realized

I felt a sense of purpose, pride and complete fullfillment

But with the job comes real life danger, sacrifices that's the code spoke

The territory that goes with my decision to take the job



Boston Jakes are on duty and they're ready

At a blaze or incident, so focussed and real steady

Boston Jakes committed to the people they serve

Never hesitating to jump to action or lend a hand

THE ATARIS LYRICS - The Saddest Song

THE ATARIS LYRICS

"The Saddest Song"

Only two more days, until your birthday

Yesterday was mine

You'll be turning five

I know what it's like, growing up without your father in your life

So I pretend, I'm doing all I can

And I hope someday you'll find it in your heart



To understand

Why I'm not around

And forgive me for not being in your life



I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Waiting there to find nothing at all



Maybe someday

you'll really get to know me

not just the letters read to you

I pray I get the chance

To make it up to you

We got a lot of catching up to do



So I pretend, I'm doing all I can

And hope someday you'll find it in your heart



To understand

Why I'm not around

And forgive me for not being in your life



I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Remember waiting there to find nothing at all

I remember waiting

For you to come

Remember waiting

For you to call

Waiting there to find nothing at all



Forgive me!

I'm so sorry!

I will make it up to you....

GREEN DAY LYRICS - Scumbag

GREEN DAY LYRICS

"Scumbag"

You come around every now and then

Your clothes are different,

but you're still the same

Why else would you come here?

Scumbag on a mission



You're telling me that it's been a while

Shit-eating grin and a brand new life

Somebody let you come here

Scumbag with permission



Never thought I'd see the likes of you around this place

What's the special occasion?

Did you run outta friends?



Here you are comin' 'round again

And things are different but you still pretend

You gotta reason to come here

Scumbag with ambition



And now you're telling me that things have changed

And you'll leaving in a couple days

You're gonna change the world someday

Scumbag with a vision



It must be nice to know you got it all figured out

But from where I'm sitting,

It's the same thing again and again



Have you ever stopped to think

before you opened up your mouth?

Because everytime you do,

It's the same thing again and again

THE BIGGER LIGHTS LYRICS - Apocalypse!

THE BIGGER LIGHTS LYRICS

"Apocalypse!"

Take my hand and don't let me go

An till the sun is swallowed

And darkness comes to sing us all to sleep



Face to face without waking graves

Is this the best we've got

Is this the most we could

Have made of our homes disarray



Pick up the bottles

And nip up the air waves

We're going down

We're going down in flames



If this is it

We're dead set and ready for it

With refusing hands and bomb shelters

We're better brave then bashful and sing it



We are the beat that soldiered on

The acky eyes that made it to dawn

To kiss and wait to yesterday



Pick up the bottles

And nip up the air waves

We're going down

We're going down in flames



If this is it

We're dead set and ready for it

With refusing hands and bomb shelters

We're better brave then bashful and sing it

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS - Lime Tree

BRIGHT EYES LYRICS

"Lime Tree"

I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes

Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one

Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love

You left another message said it's done,

It's done



When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time

Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like

Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies

Waiting to be asked to come inside

Just come inside



But I keep going out

I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down

It's 8 a. m. my heart is beating too loud

Too loud

Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much

I felt something that I had never touched



Everything gets smaller now the further that I go

Towards the mouth and the reunion of the Known and the Unknown

Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home

You can move mountains with your misery if you don't

If you don't



It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two

Under the leaves of that old Lime Tree I stood examining the fruit

Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt nauseous with the truth

There will never be a time more opportune



So I just won't be late

The window closes, shock rolls over in a tidal wave

And all the color drains out of the frame

So pleased with a daydream that now living is no good

I took off my shoes and walked into the woods

I felt lost and found with every step I took

JESUS WEPT LYRICS - Against The Grain

JESUS WEPT LYRICS

"Against The Grain"

Well I'm standing on my last leg

Dejected world heed what I say

Caught up in lies and material gain

In given time the pleasure turns to pain

Won't crawl on all fours for you

I admit I've made some mistakes

Won't believe your truth is a lie

Determination: a creed to live by

Against the grain I try

Again I believe the lies

I won't cave to condescending ways

The sands of time is more than I can take

The war I wage within myself

I must find a way

To take control

Vow to never fall again

But I'm holding, holding on to pain

Although I know its all mundane

The creeper I must sow, protecting

Won't crawl on all fours for you

I admit I've made some mistakes

Won't believe your truth is a lie

Determination: a creed to live by

Against the grain I try

Again I believe the lies

Can't stand it for another day

I know its an illusion

Against the grain

DOGWOOD LYRICS - Sanctuary

DOGWOOD LYRICS

"Sanctuary"

Listen to all the people cheer

with empty tears in their eyes

a nation cries

for the sake of themselves

Opportunism deals with pain



yet we still try to change our wicked ways

that we just can't seem to break

it's all on me

nothing to offer from here.



and I never thought I'd see the day arrive,

heroes who revise,

won't be recognized.

this world was given one last chance,

to make this right in time.



the next time that we fall, into ourselves

we should be sure that we won't deviate

Self sufficiency: the solution to sanctuary.



and I never thought I'd see the day arrive,

heroes who revise,

won't be recognized.

this world was given one last chance,

to make this right in time.



Structure, this is my own dysfunction.

Are you listening?



Now that you know, you can't deny,

Because the truth is I never thought I'd see the day arrive,

heroes who revise,

won't be recognized.

this world was given one last chance,

to make this right in time.

GOLDFINGER LYRICS - The Upper Hand

GOLDFINGER LYRICS

"The Upper Hand"

Since you've been fifteen you were confused,

at that age it's so hard to just be you

you've got your friends, your records,

the only thing that makes you feel whole

you're trying to figure it all out

sometimes you realize the fight is oh-so futile

someone else is telling you you're wrong



[chorus]

you know you're right

but no one seems to listen,

they say you're just a child,

so you turn and fight,

for me that is the only way

to step to what they say is the upper hand,

don't let them take the upper hand

don't let them take the upper hand



You wanna go out and forget the day

go out and just make your life seem real

forget your mom and dad

forget about your job, your home, your school

you take so much shit,

your girl said it's over

you think about giving up

but don't you dare give up without a fight



you know you're right

but no one seems to listen,

they say you're just a child,

so you turn and fight,

for me that is the only way

to step to what they say is the upper hand,

don't let them take the upper hand

never let them take the upper hand

the upper hand

STAY LYRICS - The Great American Hustle

STAY LYRICS

"The Great American Hustle"

I miss all of the world

that I knew as a boy scrape my knees on the streets where we cool never coy.

Played along to the ballad that summer wrote. You took our bikes to a place

where our folks never knew.



Felt the wind in my face.

Man, I felt so alive,

racing you through the woods.

Man, we tried.

All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,

I won’t forget, forget part of my life.



To begin, to begin love.

I’ve been losing sleep again.

'Til I’m seeing you, I miss everything.

Just go back to the way that it’s been, that it's been.



Wind in my face.

Man, I felt so alive,

racing you through the woods.

Man, we tried.

All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,

I won’t forget, forget part of my life.



Take me home, take me home.

I am lost in a world I feel I don’t belong. [x2]



Wind in my face.

Man, I felt so alive,

racing you through the woods.

Man, we tried.

All of the nights that we laughed 'til we cried,

I won’t forget, forget part of my life.

AUTOMATIC LOVELETTER LYRICS - My Goodbye

AUTOMATIC LOVELETTER LYRICS

"My Goodbye"

You’ve got me where you want me

Falling on the ground

I hold you in the highest place,

So I’m getting out



‘Cause you’ve got me so strung out

When you leave and come around

Yeah

How am I supposed to breath

The more I live its killing me

And now I’ll be glad to see

Every time you leave



This is the last time

This is the last fight

Sunsets to sunrise

This is my goodbye

From morning till midnight

With or without you

This is my goodbye.



You were trouble since the day we met

I can see that now

I take back everything I said

Everything ‘till now



‘Cause you’ve got me so strung out

When you leave and come around

Yeah

How am I supposed to breath

The more I live is killing me

And now I’ll be glad to see

Every time you leave



This is the last time

This is the last fight

Sunset to sunrise

This is my goodbye

From morning ‘till midnight

With or without you

This is my goodbye.



I’m writing you out,

I’m crossing my T’s

And I want back the necklace that you said you did keep

You miscomprehend

I’ve sworn you to dead

And my words are as strong as my last gasp for breath.



This is the last time

This is the last fight

Sunset to sunrise

This is my goodbye

From morning ‘till midnight

With or without you

This is my goodbye.



Goodbye [repeated until end]

PROPAGANDHI LYRICS - Anchorless

PROPAGANDHI LYRICS

"Anchorless"

They called here to tell me that you're finally dying,

through a veil of childish cries.

Southern Manitoba prarire's pulling at the pant-leg of your bad disguise.

So why were you so anchorless?

A boat abandoned in some backyard.

Anchorless in the small town that you lived and died in.

I've got an armchair from your family home.

Got your P. G. Wodehouse novels and your telephone.

I've got your plates and stainless steel.

Got that way of never saying what you really feel.

I don't want to live and die here where we're anchorless.

Tu Tu Tu Tu Lu Tu Tu Yeah Yeah



When I first saw you, eye to eye with you

My heart jumped and started to fly to the sky

Over the heavy clouds



Now I got the sun, you are the sunshine

I have never felt like this

You're one in a million



Sunshine baby, I'm a lucky man

I'm living in the same age with you

Don't you think it must be a miracle

That we met in this wide, wide world?

My knowledge to give, your love to receive

Good times with the bad times,

Baby we can get through this life



Sunshine baby, I'm a lucky man

That we met in this wide, wide world?

I FARM LYRICS - Tough But Fair

I FARM LYRICS

"Tough But Fair"

"The time has come," the Wiener said,

"To talk of many things.

Of popes and dope and kings.

And why the sea is boiling hot,

And whether cops have wings."

Remember five long years ago?

Those were good times that may never come again

Now everything is justified

Is that tough but fair?

The time has come to look me in the eye

And tell me all the things

That I have told you

You can claim to have invented them

It might even be true

I guess we failed, at least we tried

Things could be worse, we might have died

I guess we failed

SAVES THE DAY LYRICS - An Afternoon Laughing

SAVES THE DAY LYRICS

"An Afternoon Laughing"

You aren't the kind of person that I couldn't fall in love with, rather you are the kind of person that I could. And I'd like to spend an afternoon of laughing at ourselves, and hear all the wonderful things you might tell me. I'd watch your eyes gleam during that time of day when you can't really tell if it's day or night. I'd like to think of us in twelve years having a place and a daughter. I think she would look a lot like you. We'd be all the time smiling. Someone once asked me who I'd most like to be with. I said, "There's this really great gal that I'd like to hang out with sometime."

FENIX TX LYRICS - Pasture Of Muppets

FENIX TX LYRICS

"Pasture Of Muppets"

It won't be long

Until you learn about this one

Is there any reason you can't say?

I must be wrong

Thought I was the perfect son

And all I want it room to breathe

Say what you want, But I'm running again

Do what you want, But I'm running again

Say what you want, But I'm running again

You can do what you want, But you'll never breathe like me,

Bleed like me, Walk the talk or think like me

Breathe like me, Bleed like me,

You'll never be like me

Can't hold me down

Scream and I won't hear a sound

There's a lot about me you don't know

Throw in the towel

Give it up, you've lost this round

I think it's time for me to go



[Chorus]

BEAR VS. SHARK LYRICS - The Employee Is Not Afraid

BEAR VS. SHARK LYRICS

"The Employee Is Not Afraid"

Came to me on icebergs and bonded cell ties

and write up these letters to question your reasons

for coming and leaving to carry the summer

in allies and basements you washed yourself clean



My sockets are swimming, my sockets are empty

My sockets are swimming, my sockets are empty



They claim that wire had covered your heart

and they claim that water had entered your lungs

they called you a martyr, and they cut off your ties to the city

they called you a traitor, and they cut off your ties to the south



Came to me in paintings that highlight the sun

it branded the concept of living and lying

to forgive the layout and rewrite the history

a four sided story, a moundbuilders dream



My sockets are swimming, my sockets are empty

My sockets are swimming, my sockets are empty



They claim that wire had covered your heart

and they claim that water had entered your lungs

they called you a traitor, called you a traitor, called you a traitor

called you a martyr, and they cut off your ties to the city

said they cut em off, cut em off

THE MUFFS LYRICS - The Whole World

THE MUFFS LYRICS

"The Whole World"

You never know what you wanna do, feeling sad and feeling blue

And they all say you're happy too

when I come around there's nothing to do



You went away I don't care you spend the day in your underwear



Mr crazy what are you doing when they're talking to you

Mr crazy what do you do when the whole world is looking at you

Ooh the whole world is looking at you



A lovely poinsettia in your place better than your funny face

I see you're down this time I know maybe you will never ever go



You went away I don't care you spend the day in your underwear



Mr crazy what are you doing when they're talking to you

Mr crazy what do you do when the whole world is looking at you

Ooh the whole world is looking at you



You did what you wanted to slower than slow

You are a lovely creature but they don't care it doesn't matter at all



[solo]



You went away I don't care you spend the day in your underwear



Mr crazy what are you doing when they're talking to you

Mr crazy what do you do when the whole world is looking at you

Ooh the whole world is looking at you

Ooh the whole world is looking at you

Ooh the whole world is looking at you

CANCER BATS LYRICS - Ghost Bust That

CANCER BATS LYRICS

"Ghost Bust That"

These ghosts we have, alive and well

These ghosts have passed, right through your hands

You'll never know, what's really here

You'll never know what's come before

We'll make these graves, unearth these tombs

These ghosts will haunt again

We'll make these graves, unearth these tombs

These ghosts will haunt again

History locked away

Memory locked away



You'll never know what brought us here

These ghosts we asked to lead the way

We'll make these graves, unearth tombs

These ghosts will haunt again

We'll make these graves, unearth tombs

These ghosts will haunt again



All this will be

All this will be forgotten, just give it time

All this will be forgotten

All of us dead and buried

Our breathless phantoms songs

All of us dead and buried, as your attention falls

Left only whispers carried, our breathless phantoms songs

These lambs will slaughter us

These lambs will make us living ghosts
