Songs: Fall Out Boy, Lamb

Mar 10, 2007 14:37

My guest has headed home! The house is fandom-safe once again!

To celebrate, two songs!

I've seen a lot of people mentioning Fall Out Boy's "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race," from their new album, but for some reason the song I can't get out of my head is "The Take Over, The Break's Over." Some of the lyrics aren't the most apropos, but it's a great superhero muse song for the soaring exuberence of the chorus:  "We do it in the dark / With smiles on our faces, / We're trapped and well-concealed / In secret places.  / We don't fight fair."

Fall Out Boy, "The Take Over, the Break's Over"

Baby, seasons change but people don't
And I'll always be waiting in the back room
I'm boring, but overcompensate with
Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography

Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me
Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your way for fashion magazines
Widow or a divorcee?

Don't pretend it, don't pretend

We don't fight fair

Say your head could be your prison
Then these are just conjugal visits,
People will dissect us 'til
This doesn't mean a thing anymore

Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me
Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me

Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee?
Style your wake for fashion magazines
Widow or a divorcee?

Don't pretend it, don't pretend

We do it in the dark
With smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed
In secret places (x2)

We don't fight fair (x5)

We do it in the dark
With smiles on our faces
We're trapped and well concealed
In secret places (x2)

Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me
Don't pretend you'll ever forget about me

We don't fight fair
Lamb's "Until the Clouds Clear" is my smut-writing song.  You'll know why when you hear it--it's got an agonizingly slow build to an unapologetically orgasmic finish.  That the lyrics are all about losing control and giving in to desire (" But if you let this thing go, it's gonna burn, it's gonna burn / You're gonna take the whole world with you when you go") is sheer bonus.

Lamb, "Until the Clouds Clear"

What's left to say with all that's come and gone
Words get in the way and anyway the devils got your tongue
And a storm brews inside and there's nowhere to hide
It's gonna blow your cover sky high
But if you let this thing go, it's gonna burn, it's gonna burn
You're gonna take the whole world with you when you go

Oh oh oh what you gonna do ?
When the storm takes over
Oh oh oh what you gonna do ?
When the storm takes over

So here you are, demons screaming in your head
You try to shut them out but they just get louder instead
And nothing you do can seem to break through
This darkness smothering you
When it takes hold, your heart turns cold
The very soul seeps out of you

Oh oh oh what you gonna do ?
When this storm, this storm takes over you
Can you hold this thing
Can you hold this thing
Oh oh oh oh oooh

'Til the clouds clear

And now, to work!  So many fics to read, so much feedback to respond to, two stories to get betaed and a belated birthday story to write for
