a. *Adams Song :: lyrics :: download
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
This song kind of touches me in a personal way, because it's just sort of post-thrill depression to me, post-16 drama that deals with me having to settle in another skin. Song-wise, i LOVE the build up in the chorus, and i think it's generally one of their prettier songs (if you can call it that).
b. Aliens Exist :: lyrics :: download
I am still the skeptic yes you know me
Been best friends and will be till we die
I got an injection
Of of fear from the abduction
My best friend thinks I'm just telling lies
Alright
i love that ONE guitar bit where it just comes strong and sudden. the song is really cute. my mom and i used to listen to it a lot on our road trip last summer.
c. All The Small Things :: lyrics :: download
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
surprises let me know she cares
their most famous song, and i've secretly loved it since i was 12. it was also the first full song i learned to play on the electric guitar (so, obviously not musical genius, but). it's really cute.
d. Another Girl, Another Planet :: lyrics :: download
You always get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
I don't need rehabilitating,
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
I have a ton of covers of this song, and compared to them and the original, i like this one the best. Mark sounds really polished in it.
e. *Carousel :: lyrics :: download (original) (LIVE)
Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile
A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
The first time i heard this song it was the live version, on Riding in Vans with Boys. I'd recommend that, even though the ending is hella weird with the Satan-voice. But the song is ridiculously cute, and the first song they ever wrote together. The bass at the beginning? Classic.
f. *Dammit :: lyrics :: download
The steps that I retrace, the sad look on your face
The timing and structure, did you hear he fucked her?
A day late a buck short, I'm writing the report
On losing and failing, when I move I'm flailing now
Aha, this is my feel-good song. It's angry. And you can relate to it on a certain level, you know, all the things that make you think dammit.
g. Dumpweed :: lyrics :: download
She's a dove, She's a fuckin' nightmare
Unpredictable, it's my mistake to stay here
On the go and it's way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train
I used to listen to this song ALL THE TIME when i was in japan, mostly because it really reflected my thoughts on Kylie a lot of the time. I LOVE the beginning guitar.
h. *Going Away to College :: lyrics :: download
Why does it feel the same
To fall in love or break it off?
And if young love is just a game, then
I must have missed the kick-off
Don't depend on me to
Ever follow through on
Anything but
I'd go through Hell for you and
I haven't been this scared
In a long time
And I'm so unprepared
So here's your valentine
Bouquet of clumsy words
A simple melody
This world's an ugly place
But you're so beautiful to me
I really, really love the way this song is structured. I can't really find the words to say exactly what i love about it, but it sounds just really, really good. I can't stop listening to it, atm.
i. Here's Your Letter :: lyrics :: download
Here's a letter for you
But the words get confused
And the conversation dies
Apologize for the past
Talk some shit take it back
Are we cursed to this life
I love Mark's voice in this. It carries melody, instead of being so rasp and shout-y. I also really dig the lyrics, and the driving pace of it. The bass plays a more dominant role as well, which gives it extra special points.
j. I Miss You :: lyrics :: download
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in backround of the morgue
The unsespecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never end
This song used to really BORE me, but i like it a lot now, just for the lyrics and the fact that i really get it, and the more mellow feeling of it. Also, Nightmare Before Christmas references!
k. *Man Overboard :: lyrics :: download
I remember shots, without a chaser
Absent minded thoughts, now you're a stranger
Cover up the scars
Put on your game face
Left you in a bar
To try and save things
I LOVE THIS SONG. from the bass to the beginning, to the main guitar, the beat, the chorus, the lyrics, it's just so right.
l. Not Now :: lyrics :: download
Please save me this time I cannot run
And I'll see you when this is done
And now I have come to realize
That you are the one who's left behind
Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on to me I'm right here
Waiting
This song just really, really, gets stuck in your head especially after you're listening to +44 and get nostalgic. I think it's a good sad song. It makes me want to like Tom.
m. The Party Song :: lyrics :: download
And then in the backyard some terrible ska band
Someone in the background was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame all these girls look the same
All these guys have no game I wish I would have stayed
In my bed back at home watching TV alone
Where I'd put on some porn or have sex on the phone
Far from people I hate down from anywhere state
Trying to intoxicate girls to give them head after the party
This song is just so much FUN. I love the lyrics, i love the trash factor, i love how it's really, really kind of true. I like to shout it in the car while driving and almost get into accidents from having so much fun just listening to it.
n. The Rock Show :: lyrics :: download
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, im gonna sneak in through her window
Everything's better when she's around
I can't wait til her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
I want someone to fall in love with me at a rock show. That's about it.
o. Stay Together For the Kids :: lyrics :: download
It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all.
I'm ripe with things to say
The words rot and fall away.
If a stupid poem could fix this home
I'd read it every day
Again, I relate. I love the beginning guitar. The lyrics verge on the point of hurting. It builds nicely.
p. Story of a Lonely Guy :: lyrics :: download
Push it out, fake a smile
AVERT disaster, just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answers from friends of mine
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls posess me, but they're never mine
I made my entrance, avoided hazards
Checked my engine, I fell behind
AHAHA, AMEN. just. yeah. the beginning reminds me of One for the Razorbacks, for some crazy reason.
q. What's My Age Again? :: lyrics :: download
I took her out it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time that she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
This song reminds me of drunken karaoke with Kylie and Greece. Fun. Naked music video. Quite.
[+44]
a. *155 :: lyrics :: download
This is not the time or place for us to speak like this
Even if I had the thought I'd never dream of it
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
In a different time or place the words could make more sense
In a perfect world the future wouldn't make a dent
So dry your hollow eyes and let's go down to the water
This was the first song I really liked by +44. It's really electric, and I like it when they experiment a little bit. I have theories on what it's about, but i'm not going to geek out at one in the morning about it XD.
b. Chapter 13 :: lyrics :: download
And we'll wake up in vacant rooms
Pull you close to my aching skin
Broken glass on the porcelain
Is this what you imagined?
We'll forget what we used to say
And our lives won't mean anything
Pull me close as I drift away
And it's just as it should be
The lyrics to this song absolutely break me, I think they're incredible. The song itself, not so much, but the lyrics just blow me away, because I honestly think that before +44, Mark's writing in Blink was elementary with hints of brilliance. This song just kind of guts me though.
c. Lycanthrope :: lyrics :: download
And sometimes at night I feel I'm just a broken vessel
An instrument with a darker purpose
I'm at the throat of the young and the helpless
Because they've got nothing to say
So you can just stop talking, I get it
I hear your silence loud and clear
I know it's barely a thought but it'll see us through
I'm only setting you free so just let it happen
Just let it happen, no need to fear
Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it
Really, really great starter song. ALSO, song about Tom! Oh, bad break-ups.
d. *Make You Smile :: lyrics :: download
The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't see you with the smoke getting in my eyes
I said "Hello" but you kept on walking
I'm going deaf from the sound of the DJ
The first time I saw you, you turned away
I couldn't hear with the noise ringing in my ears
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night?
I couldn't feel you, your always so far away
this song is incredible, back when I think Carole Heller? was also doing vocals with +44. It's a really, really bittersweet duet song, and if someone wants to listen to ONE +44 song, it would be this.
e. Weatherman :: lyrics :: download
Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on
Every now and then I feel the end of us
I love the way you breathe inside my head
But something's gotta change, I'm barely holding on
Let me slip away, I'm barely holding on (I find it motivating to see your troubles drowning)
Every now and then I feel the end of us (It's such a shame to feel I'm drifting)
I love the way you breathe inside my head (I find it motivating to see your troubles drowning)
Haha, I emo. <3 Mark.
f. *When Your Heart Stops Beating :: :: download
Turn it up, I never wanna go home
I only wanna be part of your breakdown
She got caught by the four on the floor
I picked her up and she'll never get let down
And now I can't stop thinking about it
All you people at the top, don't know nothing about it
We don't give a fuck what the price is
So just leave us to our own devices and we'll leave you alone
This song is incredibly catch, and angry, and fun. And that's what I like about this side of Mark, it has LAYERS and it leaves you with a little less breath.
4. James left. I'm sad. Last night we watched Amelie and High School Musical, and I honest-to-god loved them both, no matter how much i really didn't want to like HSM.
