Caitlin Cary Please Don't Hurry Your Heart


Oh, when you're leaving for the hundredth time of day.
Looking for a reason, a reason lived to stay.
What about the promises, the promises you can't keep?
Sometimes when you're wounded, there ain't enough reason to bleed.
Oh don't hurry your heart,
No, don't hurry your heart.
Please don't hurry your heart,
This time.

Now you're really going like a hundred times before.
Is there any reason not to step through that door?
Forget about the promises, the promises you can't keep.
When you look behind you there's nothing there to see,

Oh don't hurry your heart,
No, don't hurry your heart.
Please don't hurry your heart,
This time.

Flashing lights and exit signs, fall away into the night.
Like everything you couldn't take with you,
There's nothing left to break.

Everybody's talking,
When you want to say your piece.
Everybody's leavin',
Right when you were feeling at ease.
Sometimes when he's rushing,
He's telling you to hurry up.

Oh don't hurry your heart,
No, don't hurry your heart.
Please don't hurry your heart,
This time.​
 
The Black Angels - Empire
Oh, the empires calling,
Trying to hear his voice,
While he's preaching to the choir,
And that choir is death and noise.

And he closes up his fist, and he sees if they exist.

Angels with broken wings,
Melodic harmonies she sings.
She brings you white daffodils,
You place them on your windowsill.

Then you open up your fist, and you see if they exist.

Well you sit in dark forests,
You've been there for quite a while.
And when they come to take you,
You just sit and smile.

You say, "Hey, you take this. I'm gonna see if you exist."

Oh it's time to leave here,
And I still have my knife,
And it's pressed up against my body,
Tonights gonna be the night.

And I cut my own wrist, just to see if I exist.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Pig Latin [Feat. Mike Patton]

Do you remember where you were on that day?
A day of life sentences and x-rays
My name was on that birthday cake

[Chinga]
Your mother, your father, your brother, and the thing under the covers
Your lover, the others, the leeches, and the serpents and the suckers
Your mother, your father, the babies and the nurses and the doctors
Your lover, the others, the waiting room, the gurney and the druggers
Your mother, your father, the comas and the way the spirits hover
Your lover, the others, I thought I wasn't smart enough to suffer

Speaking pig latin
Kiss me goodnight
Dreaming white satin
Kiss me goodnight

Freedom---tying your legs down
Freedom---****ing your brains out
Freedom---blowing the candles out
Freedom---waving to the crowd

And I hate long goodbyes anyway...
 
Kirsty MacColl - A New England

I was twenty-one years when I wrote this song
I'm twenty-two now, but I won't be for long
People ask me when will I grow up to understand
Why the girls I knew at school are already pushing prams

I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill
I dont feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

I loved the words you wrote to me
But that was bloody yesterday
I can't survive on what you send
Every time you need a friend

I saw two shooting stars last night
I wished on them, but they were only satellites
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

My dreams were full of strange ideas
My mind was set despite the fears
But other things got in the way
I never asked that boy to stay

Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring, I knew it wasn't you

I don't want to change the world
I'm not looking for a new england
Are you looking for another girl

Jangling Jack- N. Cave
Jangling Jack
Goes Yackety Yack
Visits the home of the brave
Hails a fat yellow cab
Jack wanna celebrate
Jack wanna big drink
Driver drops him at a bar
Called the Rinky Dink
Jack pushes through the door
And crosses the floor
Tips his hat to a man
Grinning in the corner
Going Do da do Do da do

Says, I'm Jangling Jack
I go Do da do
I wanna Rinky Dink Special
I wanna little umbrella too
Jack flops on his stool
Sees the grinning man laugh
So Jack laughs back
Jack raises his glass
Says, God bless this country
And everything in it
The losers and the winners
The good guys and the sinners
The grinning man says, Buddy
It's all Yackety Yack
Whips out a little black pistol
Shoots a bullet in Jack

Jangling Jack
Do Da Do Do Da Do
Jangling Jack
How do you Do Da Do

Jangling Jack Flies off his seat
Crashes through the door
Lands in a heap on the street
Hears his mother's voice
Going, Do do do
Jack is shouting
Mummy, mummy, mummy is that you?
He sees the berserk city
Sees the dead stacked in piles
Sees the screaming crowd
Screams, Where am I?
Going Do da do Going Do da do

Well Jangling Jack
As a matter of fact
Crawls through the crowd
Back into the bar
Jack crawls to his stool
Jack drags himself up
Falls back down on his arse
In a puddle of blood
Going Goodbye Mummy
Goodbye Goodbye
Jack doubles over
And he vomits and dies

thought apropos since i am heading out for to get pissed
 
Godsmack - Release the Demons
What do you see in the dark
when the demons come for you

If only you could have seen
how ****ed up my life used to be
then everything starts to change
supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
Its taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

And now I look through my minds eye
And see where my past needs to rest
Its always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
from everything and everywhere and everyone
NO!
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin

Its taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons......again

Facein' the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hating the same
And three-fold I told you
it comes back with laughter
Over and over again
Its coming back
 
Four Star Mary - Pain Lyrics

Feeling I've been lost for years
You can never understand me
Unless you've seen those tears
But you never get to sleep when I'm away
I don't mind the deeper that you lay
Out of time
Pain
I can't sleep
Pain
I can't sleep
Running, running from those days
There's another one inside me
Guess I've gone insane
But you always run away
When I come around
I don't mind the day
I'll track you down
Run you down
Pain
I can't sleep
Pain
I can't sleep
Don't stop
Don't talk
Do not (f***) with me
Don't stop
Don't talk
Do not (f***) with me
Loaded, loaded up this gun
There's a killer in me
Hoping, hope that you're the one
But you always run away
When I come around
I don't mind the day
I'll track you down
And terrify
Pain
I can't sleep
Pain
I can't sleep
Pain
I can't sleep​
 
Sonic Youth - Society Is A Hole

Society is a hole
it makes me lie to my friends
it's running down my street
with white powers sneakers
on the beautiful beat of black feet
society is a hole
it beats my friends big heads
my friends have big heads,
I can understand it
but I don't recommend it
you got big big hair
and everybody is scared
society is a hole
it makes me lie to my friends
the assault of holy music
there's a slap in my face
my friends are girls wrapped in boys
we're living in pieces
I want to live in peace
Society is a hole

Elvis - heartbreak hotel

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
It's down at the end of lonely street
at Heartbreak Hotel.

Ive been so lonely baby,
Well im so lonely,
well im so lonely I could die.

Oh although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers
to cry away their gloom.

They've been so lonely baby
well they're so lonely,
well they're so lonely they could die.

Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin',
and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They never ever look back.


and its so lonely baby,
and its so lonely,
well they're so lonely they could die.

well, if your baby leaves you,
and you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
to Heartbreak Hotel.

youll be so lonely baby
your gonna be lonely
youll be so lonely you could die.

Oh although it's always crowded,
you still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom.

They've been so lonely baby,
well they're so lonely,
they're so lonely they could die.​
 
Kelly Clarkson - "My Life Would Suck Without You" Lyrics

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
What you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Anyway, I found out I'm nothing without you
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you
Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you, but I can't let go
Oh yeah
Cuz we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life would suck without you​
 
Old Crow Medicine Show - Alabama High-Test
Alabama high test....got me in a big mess
Higher than a wild cat....runnin from the wolfpack
They're gona put me in the slammer
if they catch me with that Alabama high test

69 southbound, cruisin with a half pound
Blue lights spinin round, better lay the hammer down
Dirt road Tennessee, Aint nobody stoppin me
Short run, state line, gotta keep makin time
Alabama high test...

Huff paint, cocaine, playin chicken with a train
Smack, tab, Meth lab, mellow out, rehab
Percocet, cigarette, I dont need no more of that
just gimmie some down home Dixie fried homegrown
Alabama high test...

Alabama high test....got me in a big mess
Higher than a wild cat....runnin from the wolfpack
They're gona put me in the slamer
if they catch me with that Alabama high test

Drug bust, disgust, plead with the circuit judge
"Son dont be coy, send ya up the river Boy"
Jump suit, chain gang, shackles on my feet and hand
Standin on I-65 wishin I was rolling by with
Alabama high test

Alabama high test....got me in a big mess
Higher than a wild cat....running from the wolf pack
They're gonna put me in the slammer
if they catch me with that Alabama high test

Old Crow Medicine Show - don't ride that horse
To Winnipeg, Saskatoon
Eutaw, Wawa, empty room
Hidin' bags, rollin' smokes
Skippin' punchlines, crackin' jokes

So pour it on, toss it back
Play that cocaine, play that smack
Sleepin' every now and then
Curled up tight with Crit and Ben on the ground

I ain't never goin' home again
I was tuggin' at my mama's breast
The first year really is the best

His blood pressure's droppin' down
We ditched the pot and we marked the ground
Ante up and watch him ride
Check that dude, he almost died

Seein' bears, ascendin' clown
Shut our whole damn circus down
Crappin' up in Joliet
We haven't wrecked the trailer yet
But we will
We're gonna get killed

Don't ride that horse
Don't ride that horse, honey
Don't ride that horse back home
Just let him roam
Let him roam
 
Snow by Iron On

I don't think the snow is deep enough for us to dance in
And I don't think I've ever seen snow that deep
Well I know, I know it takes two to tango
But I know, I know it takes three and you've gotta tango, tango

But I don't think the rain is deep enough for me to drown in
And you and me have seen some rain
Yes, you and me have seen some rain
Some rain

But i don't think the hail is coming down hard enough to kill me
Cos in the evening you seem so hard
By morning you're melted in my arm, in my arm
But it's okay, you told me
And one day I would see that confetti's more fun than paper
Confetti's more fun than paper
So get torn up about it
I got torn up about it

But I don't think the snow is deep enough for us to dance in
And I don't feel like dancing anyway
Please let me go gently on my way
Please let me go gently on my way​
 
M. Ward - Chinese Translation

I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he sang for me this song

See I once was a young fool like you
afraid to do the things
that I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
he sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions
go and lay them at my feet
but my time here is brief
so you'll have to pick just three

And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
and how can a man like me remain in the light
and if life is really as short as they say
then why is the night so long
and then the sun went down
and he played for me this song
 
Airborne Toxic Event - Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts...
sometime around midnight
or at least that's when
you lose yourself
for a minute or two

As you stand...
under the barlights
and the band plays some song
about forgetting yourself for a while
and the piano's this melancholy soundcheck
to her smile
And that white dress she's wearing
you haven't seen her
for a while

But you know...
that she's watching
She's laughing, she's turning
she's holding her tonic like a crux
The room suddenly spinning
she walks up and asks how you are
so you can smell her perfume
you can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change...
in your emotions
and all of these memories come rushing
like feral waves to your mind
of the curl of your bodies
like two perfect circles entwined
and you feel hopeless, and homelss
and lost in the haze
of the wine

And she leaves...
with someone you don't know
but she makes sure you saw her
she looks right at you and bolts
As she walks out the door
your blood boiling
your stomach in ropes
and when your friends say what is it
you look like you've seen a ghost

And you walk...
under the streetlights
and you're too drunk to notice
that everyone is staring at you
and you so care what you look like
the world is falling
around you

You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her
You just have to see her

and you know that she'll break you
in two
 
I am not me - Robyn Hitchcock
When you take me
Into the field of glass and rain and then
You get me looking again
I say, "Caroline,
No need to spell it backwards
That's 'eniloraC'."
You say, "I'm not so sure
I am not me."

When you take me
Onto the lake of frozen storms, and then
You tell me as it gets cold
You get warm again
And then as you get warmer
You perform again
You heat me up and smile,
"I am not me."

So sha-la-la-la me
Oh, sha-la la-la me

When I take you
Into the chamber of the sun and then
You take me 'cause it's a deal
I say, "Caroline,
No need to be so naked
We've been introduced."
You say, "I'm not so sure.
I am not me."
 
"Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"
U2
You don't know how you took it
You just know what you got
Oh Lordy you've been stealing
From the theives and you got caught
In the headlights
Of a stretch car
You're a star

Dressing like your sister
Living like a tart
They don't know what you're doing
Babe, it must be art
You're a headache
In a suitcase
You're a star

Oh no, don't be shy
You don't have to go blind
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

You don't know how you got here
You just know you want out
Believing in yourself
Almost as much as you doubt
You're a big smash
You wear it like a rash
Star

Oh no, don't be shy
There's a crowd to cry
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me

They want you to be Jesus
They'll go down on one knee
But they'll want their money back
If you're alive at thirty-three
And you're turning tricks
With your crucifix
You're a star

(Oh child)

Of course you're not shy
You don't have to deny love
Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me
 
Declan O'Rourke / We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea

Along the quayside you were a light
And I, a reflection, lay across the river and the night
You were transfixed on me and I was mesmerised
And names were whispered to and by you and I

The tides began to steal away from morning light
As night receded river walls seemed to grow high
Then you climbed down into my arms and closed your eyes
When we awoke we had been drifting

We didn't mean to go to sea,
We didn't mean to drift away
We never planned to up and leave,
But still the sea took us away
We saw no lands on the horizon,
No distant shores along the fray
Yet all the more we found ourselves
When we got lost at sea that day

Timbers creaked, all else was quiet and relieved
Except the infant waves that licked and lapped along the eaves
It had to dawn on us, our truth had been believed
Beyond all lies and jealousy

We sailed high wind half-mast
Due north, towards the edge of our dreams grateful borders
That matched our speed to stay ahead
The afternoon was bleeding to death
And soon the sky was racing red
To see the stars remove their hats out of respect

We didn't mean to go to sea,
We didn't mean to drift away
We never planned to up and leave,
But still the sea took us away
We saw no lands on the horizon,
No distant shores along the fray
Yet all the more we found ourselves
When we got lost at sea that day
 
Izzy Stradlin-Sweet Caress

Lookin' at the ocean blue
Sittin' thinking' here of you
Cast in light down from the moon

Sweet caress the ocean blue
Just a stolen moment through
Coldest night the fullest moon

I can tell you why it happened
Somethings been pullin' me to you
No apologies have been requested
Far beneath a yellow moon

Feeling out the ocean blue
Felt you coming through and new
Kind of frozen dream of you

Lookin' on the ocean blue
Sail away and think of you
Sweet caress the ocean blue

And I know it's not the last time
Somethings been pullin me to you
Tried ta hold it back a long time
Far beneath the silver moon

I have seen a million faces
Somethings been pullin' me to you
Like an ocean pulin' me in&
Sweet caress the ocean blue
Sweet caress the ocean blue
Sweet caress the ocean blue
 
Elliott Smith - St. Ides Heaven

Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides Heaven
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smile and you think it's a frown turned upside-down
'Cause everyone is a f-cking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all gotta say what you should and shouldn't do
Though they don't have a clue
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
And I won't come down for anyone​
 
Had these lyrics in my head ALL DAY.

Hello
I've waited here for you
Everlong

Tonight
I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang

Come down
And waste away with me
Down with me

Slow how
You wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang


And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang


Breathe out
So I could breathe you in
Hold you in

And now
I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang

And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
