Why D'Ya Do It?
by Marianne Faithfull

When I stole a twig from our little nest
And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak
I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
And twisted around for a whole ****ing week

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Why d'ya let that trash
Get ahold of your cock
And get stoned on my hash?

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Why d'ya let her suck your cock?
Oh, do me a favor
Don't put me in the dark

Why d'ya do it?, she said
They're mine, all your jewels
You just tied me to the mast
Of the ship of fools

Why d'ya do it?, she said
When you know it makes me sore
'Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny
And I believe in giving to the poor

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Why d'ya spit on my snatch?
Are we out of love now?
Is this just a bad patch?

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Why d'ya do what you did?
You drove my ego
To a really bad skid

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Ain't nothing to laugh
You just tore all our kisses
Right in half

Why d'ya do it?, she said
Why d'ya do what you did?
Betray my little oyster
For such a low bid

Why d'ya do it?, she screamed
After all we've said
Every time I see your dick
I see her **** in my bed

The whole room was swirling
Her lips were still curling

Oh, big gray mother
I love you forever
With your barbed-wire pussy
And your good and bad weather

Lover's Spit - Broken Social Scene

All these people drinking lover's spit
They sit around and clean their face with it
And they listen to teeth to learn how to quit
tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
that we grow old and do some ****
I like it all that way

All these people drinking lover's spit
Swallowing words while giving head
They listen to teeth to learn how to quit
tied to a night they never met

You know it's time
that we grow old and do some ****
I like it all that way

Achilles Last Stand
(Page/Plant)

It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?

With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing, when we at last return again

Sending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil's in his hole

Oh to sail away, To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.

Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown
The shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the ground

Oh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowd

To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone

If one bell should ring, in celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.

Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glow
As far away and distant, Our mutual child did grow

Oh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the pain
Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again

Wandering & wandering, What place to rest the search
The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth

The mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth
From the earth...

I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way
I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way

Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.

Flying Down Juniper
Lindsey Buckingham

Fathers and mothers all those years ago
Did you ever did you ever know
My sisters and my brothers all dead and gone
Did you know that wishing don't make it so
All the children flying down Juniper
All going where children go
All the children flying down Juniper
Let us go

And did you ever wonder about the places we would go
And did you realize we felt your woe
All the children flying down Juniper
All going where children go
All the children flying down Juniper
Let us go

If we forgive ourselves we might be whole
But you know wishing wishing won't make it so
All the children flying fown Juniper
All going where children go
All the children flying down Juniper
Let us go
Let us go

[BTFLCHLD]

Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind
Lindsey Buckingham

Little children
Out in the rain
Slippin' and slidin'
Covered in pain
Bodies broken
Soaked to the bone
Little children
Going on home

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone oughta make 'em feel fine
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind

Flying down Juniper
Freeway of lines
Long gone
Kiss it goodbye
Mother and father
Covered in snow
Little children
Going on home

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone oughta make 'em feel fine
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Someone oughta make 'em feel fine
And so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so
Someone's gotta change, change your mind
Mind...
Mind...

Nothing to prove
Your blood is mine
I have no children
Just some design
Woven mystery
It fills up this womb
No little children
Left to go home

this song sounds so awesome on Blazing Away. Especially the part I bolded.
Except, I always thought she said "for such a low bitch", not bid. I've been singing bitch for years!

[xdreamsunwindx]

When I looked out my window
Many sights to see
And when I looded in my window
So many different people to be
That is strange, so strange
You got to pick out every stitch
Must be the season of the witch

Gel
Collective Soul

Color me any color
Speak to me in tongues and share
Tell me how you'd love to hate me
Tell me how you'd love to care
Well I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Clothe me in any fashion
Glitter to so mundane
Tell me how you'd love to change me
Tell me I can stay the same
I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together
Yeah how we gelled

The Adultress
Chrissie Hynde - The Pretenders

I'm the Adultress
But I didn't want to be
But I'm convenient
And I make good tea
I stand accused
Of the worst crime in history
That's my mystery
I'm the adultress

I go to the park
With a bag of crumbs for the birds
That's where we meet
Without words
He takes my hand
And stares into the woods
There's nothing to understand
It's understood
I'm the adultress

Look at the fool
Made up to go out
She's desperate and lonely
And she's putting it about
Look at the spinster
Coming down off the shelf
She's in love
And she hates herself

Don't try to stop me
Don't get in my way
It's too late
I've made my play
Cause misery loves company
I'll be in the bar
That's where you'll find me

Rilo Kiley - A Man/Me/Then Jim (well, part of it)

A woman calls my house once a week; she's always selling things
Some charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazine
And as I turned her down, I always do, there was something trembling in her voice
I said
Hey, what troubles you?
She said
I'm surprised you noticed
Well, my husband, he's leaving, and I can't convince him to stay
And he'll take our daughter with him, she wants to go with him anyway
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with, living is the problem for me
I'm selling people things they don't want when I don't know what you need

He said the slow fade of love
And its mist might choke you
It's my gradual descent
Into a life I never meant
It's the slow fade of love

China
Tori Amos

China all the way to New York
I can feel the distance getting close
You're right next to me
But I need an airplane
I can feel the distance as you breathe
Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future together
But you just look away in the distance

China decorates our table
Funny how the cracks don't seem to show
Pour the wine dear
You say we'll take a holiday
But we never can agree on where to go

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future together
But you just look away in the distance

China all the way to New York
Maybe you got lost in Mexico
You're right next to me
I think that you can hear me
Funny how the distance
Learns to grow

Sometimes I think you want me to touch you
How can I when you build the great wall around you
In your eyes I saw the future
Together you just look away in the distance

I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance
I can feel the distance getting close

"Ghost Love Score"-Nightwish

"We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love 'n loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman's noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I'll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

- My fall will be for you -
My fall will be for you
My love will be in you
If you be the one to cut me
I'll bleed forever"

The Paybacks - "Bring It Back"

I didn't ask for it
I didn't beg for it
I didn't come up here for this
It's an old story
All in glory, sealed with a kiss

And I just can't believe that this is happening to me
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
How can you believe in something you can't even see?
Every time that I fall, it's the first time
Please, bring it back

Oh, temper, temper
Like a broken record I'm caught in the grooves
It's dyin' hard out in the yard
I can't even move

Everything I see looks so much different to me
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
How can it be over when you won't let it begin
Every time that I fall, it's the first time
Please, bring it back

And I just can't believe that this is happening to me
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
How can you believe in something you can't even see?
Every time that I fall, it's the first time
Every time that I fall, it's the first time
Every time that I fall, it's the worst time...

Try For The Sun
Donovan Leitch
(Lindsey Buckingham's version)

We huddled in the derelict building
The gypsy girl and I
We made our beds together
With the rain and tears in our eyes
And who will be the one
To say it was no good what we done
I dare anyone dare anyone to say we were too young
We were only trying for the sun

Mirror mirror in the sky
Won't you look what's happening here below
No one knows what's going on
Can you give us a sign where to go
And who will be the one
To say it was no good what we done
I dare anyone dare anyone to say we were too young
We were only trying for the sun
Who will be the one
To say it was no good what we done
I dare anyone dare anyone to say we were too young
We were only trying for the sun
We were only trying for the sun
We were only trying for the sun

Tolerance
Michael Franti

A child is born and a mama's torn about the life that it's bound to live. A sun and moon and a modest home is all they are askin' the lord to give. Politics and big events never seem to notice the little guy, so make a plan or simply hold a hand but don't ever be a passerby. Tolerance or violence? And the whole world goes to war. Is one enough or is one too many before we say...no more? Could you ever love a pot of gold or could you ever love another lonely soul? Could you ever find a love that was oceans wide? Could you ever find love in another strangers eyes? Give a little tolerance, oh tolerance...we need you more and more.

Lend a hand or hold a friend that's in need of life support. Draw a picture...share a whisper...anyway you can to rise above. And when the end is near who is going to volunteer to be the last one to die for love?
