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
