A Song a Day

[Cohollow]

You told me
You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light


You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from my own foolish blight

You’re gone now
I’m strong now

Strong enough to cry only at night


I see now
It can’t be now

Now that you’re away


And I wish that I could be like the desert
He never seems to cry
I wish that I could be like the ocean
She never needs to ask why


I’m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only


You told me
You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light


You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from myself


And I wish that I could be like my father
He always knew what was right
I wish that I could be like my mother
She always tucked me in tight


I’m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only

You told me
You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light


You craved me
You saved me

Saved me from own foolish blight.

 

[Snake on the Moon]

It's still a whisper through a microphone
It's not your volume, it's your tone
Those olive eyes are good enough to pick in winter time
So did I say too much, if that's my crime?
I will zip, shut my mouth, won't forget about you
Just one more whisper, to see me through
Lets hush, hush, hush
So Persia if you like me, then whats the fuss?

Oh Persia, Persia
If I can't be your prince
Then I whisper, I'd like to leave you in my fingerprints
Persia, Persia
I might not be the one
I still whisper, until you tell me that we're done

We're not really done, I'm just a gentleman
Lets go shopping for a future, I'll pick you one
Those people talking, just puppets on a rope
I've cleaned my conscious, no need for soap
I just knew it when you walked in, I'll never win
I whisper too loud, and that's my sin
Lets hush, hush, hush
So Persia if you like me, then whats the fuss?

Oh Persia, Persia
If I can't be your prince
Then I whisper, I'd like to leave you in my fingerprints
Persia, Persia
I might not be the one
I still whisper, until you tell me that we're done

Oh Persia, oh no
Oh Persia, oh no
Oh Persia, oh no

True love, I saw a poster for it
Not you love, someone else had bought it
I tried to trade, offer my regrets
He said you have to give it all, and nothing less
I said I'd try for you, please let me try for you
And this is far beyond what I thought I'd ever do
Please let me try for you

Oh Persia, Persia
If I can't be your prince
Then I whisper, I'd like to leave you in my fingerprints
Persia, Persia
I might not be the one
I still whisper, until you tell me that we're done

I'd like to try for you
(Oh no, oh Persia, oh no)
Just let me try for you
(Oh Persia, oh no)

Thank God for Paul Williams

Roll on thunder shine on lightnin' the days are long and the nights are frightnin'
Nothing matters anyway and that's the hell of it
Winter comes and the winds blow colder well some grew wiser you just grew older
And you never listened anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin' bad in bed nobody likes you and you're better off dead goodbye
We've all come to say goodbye goodbye
Born defeated died in vain
Super destruction you were hooked on pain and tho' your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone
If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too

Love yourself as you love no other be no man's fool be no man's brother
We're all born to die alone y'know that's the hell of it
Life's a game where they're bound to beat you and time's a trick they can turn to cheat you
And we only waste it anyway and that's the hell of it

Good for nothin' bad in bed nobody likes you and you're better off dead goodbye
We've all come to say goodbye
Born defeated died in vain
Super destruction you were hooked on pain and tho' your music lingers on
All of us are glad you're gone​

Lost again
Broken and weary
Unable to find my way
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to
Just let this go

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live

I fell again
Like a baby unable to stand on my own
Tail in hand
Dizzy and clearly unable to just this go
High and surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live, I choose to live

Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
Help me survive the bottom

Calm these hands before they
Snare another pill and
Drive another nail down another
Meaty hole please release me

I am surrendering to the gravity and the unknown
Catch me heal me lift me back up to the sun
I choose to live, I choose to live

Something more bumping today?

Hey, brother, what you thinking?
Leave that old record spinning
You feel the rhythm, going
(They call it lonely digging)
Let's end your time to lay low
Your knees a-bending, so
It's time to get up and let go
(You're gonna come undone)

Hey, mama, how's it going?
Can't see your body moving
Don't leave the party dying
(They call it lonely digging)
Your booty shaking, you know
Your head has no right to say no
Tonight it's "ready, set, go"

Baby can you move it round the rhythm
So we can get with 'em
To the ground and get us a rock and roll round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Baby can you move it round the rhythm
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams when I come up on the scene

Hey, brother, what you thinking?
That good ol' sound is ringing
They don't know what they're missing
(They call it lonely digging)
Let's end your time to lay low
Your knees a-bending, so
It's time to get up and let go

Hey, brother, nice and steady
Put down your drink, you ready
It's hard when things get messy
(They call it lonely digging)
Your booty shaking, you know
Your head has no right to say no
Tonight it's "ready, set, go"

Baby can you move it round the rhythm
So we can get with 'em
To the ground and get us a rock and roll round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Baby can you move it round the rhythm
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lanespeed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams when I come up on the scene

Baby can you move it round the rhythm
So we can get with 'em
To the ground and get us a rock and roll round
Just a downtown body body coming with a super-hottie
Let's go, yes, no, hell no
Baby can you move it round the rhythm
'Cause you know we're living in the fast lane, speed up
It ain't no game, just turn up all the beams when I come up on the scene

This is a good song for me to listen to when I'm feeling alone. I have no idea why, it just makes me feel better and safe.
Morricone – Yoshida Brothers

Thank God for Paul Williams​

Love this song and the movie.... Odd thing about my City is that the film has a huge cult following here for no apparent reason. Talking bigger then Rocky Horror. Annual showings. Paul Williams has come to the city just because of the fandom for it. I believe some of the cast has come before as well.

 

[ghosTea]

Something more bumping today?

That was super fun thanks!

 

[ghosTea]

No lyrics on this one. Well there are but I don't speak Japanese. This song features the iconic Jun Togawa a voice most Westerners will probable find grating lol. So I find this song very beautiful but I have come to love her voice as is and the instrumentation on this song is great. The video is also very well done.

 

[Snake on the Moon]

No lyrics on this one.

You are the best @Snake on the Moon! now to re-post so it looks all proper and such!

I take a deep breath in the morning
in the garden where the lilacs blossom
And gently step forward
to the spiral staircase made of glass

Climbing up this ladder to the sky
the cities grow distant before my eyes
And on top of the roof above the clouds
I open my backback

This is just an extra
from an old kid's magazine.
Foldable binoculars
with 8.4x zoom!

I can see it, I can see it
I understand, I understand

I can hear the sound of the bells
of a caravan that crosses the Sahara
And can see the parisian who runs away
from the station to the main street

And then I write about
only the good things in life
and this superb view
in my online blog

Where are you waiting?
I am smiling having these joys and sorrows
Let's do something nice
after this journey

 

[Snake on the Moon]

I love the message of this song. I figured that I'd post some gothic rock today, so here you go!
When We Go Dark – Faith & The Muse

what have you done?
what have you become?
trapped by all you once held in contempt.
defined by order
it’s not who you are

extinguish
to see things clear you have to close your eyes
with reverence
the lanterns dim and your ghosts feel free to speak
the moments
when you reach within and the answers come to you
made glorious
the truth is there beneath it all

what have you become?
could you please them all?
living someone else’s life
distraction keeps the blinding light
deflecting off the horror
you’ve lost your soul or slowly let it die
it’s not who you are

extinguish
to see things clear you have to close your eyes
with reverance
the lanterns dim and your ghosts feel free to speak
the moments
when you reach within and the answers come to you
made glorious
the truth is there beneath it all

alone in a corner with your head on your knees,
this is not who they came to see.
the child in the mind’s eye – all trust and full of laughter
dreams hot as embers can unlock forever.

remember!
remember…
another morning’s light
and you’re holding back the tears
fight the numb surrender
remember who you are

(x 2)
extinguish
to see things clear you have to close your eyes
with reverence
the lanterns dim and your ghosts feel free to speak
the moments
when you reach within and the answers come to you
made glorious
the truth is there beneath it all​

Gothic Rock is always appreciated on my end

Into the distance a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses real
A fatal attraction holding me fast how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue tied and twisted
Just an earth bound misfit I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings
I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul
right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted
just an earth-bound misfit, I

 

[Snake on the Moon]

I had this song stuck in my head this morning for whatever reason. I guess it was time to share it with everyone!
Panic Switch – Silversun Pickups

Time
It's never worth my time
Blue shine
Bleeds into my eyes

I still
Sleep on the right side
Of the white noise
Can't leave the scene behind

Could I be anything you want me to be
Its always meant to be seen

[Chorus]
When you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
Will you step in line or release the glitch?
Can you fall asleep with a panic switch?

And when you see yourself in a crowded room
Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped?
Will you step in line or release the glitch?
Do you think she'll sleep with the panic...

Mm, I'll try
To hold on tight tonight
Pink slip
Inviting me inside
Wanna burn skin
And brand what once was mine
But the red views
Keep ripping the divide

If I go everywhere you want me to go
How will I know you'll still follow?

[Chorus]

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating

I'm waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading and floating away
Waiting and fading, waiting and fading

[Chorus]​

 

[WatchingPlanesFlyBy]

I'm taking my ride with destiny
Willing to play my part
Living with painful memories
Loving with all my heart

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what they say
Can't you see
Oh I know, I know, I know that it's true
Yes it's really meant to be
Deep in my heart

I'm having to learn to pay the price
They're turning me upside down
Waiting for possibilities
Don't see too many around

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It's for all to see
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says
Everybody says to me
It was really meant to be
Yeah, yeah
When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever, yeah
Wish it could last forever, forever

I'm playing my role in history
Looking to find my goal
Taking in all this misery
But giving in all my soul

Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says
Wait and see, it was really meant to be
So plain to see
Yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
Yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be
Written in the stars...
Written in the stars...

Thanks for joining in @forever_scarred if you can try to post lyrics with your videos that would be awesome
