just some stuff

Jan 22, 2009 01:23

I'm still high from the inauguration... No words for how much better i feel.

other subject: has anyone checked out Bush's lyrics for CLex? cuz, omg! wonderful, dark, obsessive stuff on offer there! I already did "Glycerine", and of course Gavin Rossdale's recent effort, "Love Remains The Same" but check these out!!!

first a Clark song, very him...and then a slew of Lex songs, cuz he's just so wonderfully tortured...

i put stars next to the seriously intensely perfect ones.

"Altered States"

Living in a cage.
Washing in a birdbath.
Sinking in a fish bowl.
on a broken farm.
I try to never lie.
I really do.
I wonder if my friends
will get me through.
Conscious of the was
as best we can.
Seventeen ways to kill a man.
States we've been through,
killing nostalgia
for future swims.
Trash all your bridges,
kill the rock all roll thing.
I want to move on
with no complaints.
Building our walls with yesterday.
Might as well shine before you slide.
Might as well you live before you die.
States we've been through.
Talk about states.
A whole lot of emptiness.
Living in a state of constant chasing,
a river of flux for our tasting.
I try to never lie.
I really do.
I wonder if my friends
will get me through.
It always seems to rain when you leave.
I try to stem the flow,
as we bleed.
States we've been through...
Talk about states, states.
Talk about states, states.

***"Body"

Hush child; lay your sweet lips on me.
This greed...bigger than you and me.
Will you come again?
Body.
Tongue tied and a visceral third degree;
feel warm, center of gravity,
wash us all away.
Will you come again?
Will we stay friends?
Oh, you paralyze.
There are times when i wish
that i was you;
thick skinned. Cities you drive through.
Better than me, you're (the one).
Seven days, and my system is free again.
We rise...lose it on oblivion.
Falling away...sorry for the way
your child is on fire.
Lick these, my ruby lips,
drop your protein pills...
Better just to lose yourself.
We kiss we kiss we kiss...
Pretty words could never say...
Will you come again?

***"Mouth" (this song is just about the most early Lexish thing EVER!!!)

You gave me this. Made me give.
Your silver grin,
still sticking it in.
You have soul machine.
Soul machine.
The longest kiss.
Peeling furniture days.
Drift madly to you.
Pollute my heart drain.
You have broken at me,
Broken me.
All your mental armor drags me down.
Nothing hurts like your mouth.
Your loaded smiles.
Pretty just desserts.
Wish it all for you.
So much it never hurts.
You have soul machine.
Stone at me.
All your mental armor drags me down.
We can't breathe when you come around.
All your mental armor drags me down.
Nothing hurts like your mouth (mouth, mouth).
Your mouth (mouth, mouth).
Your mouth (mouth, mouth).
We've been missing long before:
never found our way home.
We've been missing long before,
where we'll find our way.
You gave me this. Made me give.
You have soul machine,
broken free.
All your mental armor drags me down.
We can't breathe when you come around.
All your mental armor drags me down.
Nothing hurts like your mouth (mouth, mouth).
Your mouth (mouth, mouth).
Your mouth (mouth, mouth).
All your mental armor...
All your mental armor...
and your mouth, mouth.

"Bomb"

Wanted to buy you shiny red things. (hehe, like trucks...)
Thought i'd be with you until the end. (*cries*)
How did i know that i would be there?
Blow me away, see if i care.
Death of a future. (*cries harder*)
Goodbye to my friends.
Wish i could see you all again.
Family hollow...family real.
Wish you were here, see how i feel.
Kill a man, kill a girl.
Kill a man, kill a girl.
Jekyll in you
brings out the wired in me.
I have no defense.
I'm all that you see.
The night is a bomb blast.
The night is on fire.
Sing with me in the gasoline choir.
And you say you want to change our minds.
I've paid for your belief with mine.
Of all the bravest stands in time...
You stoop so low you'll never rise.

"Comedown"

Love and hate...get it wrong.
You cut me right back down to size.
Sleep the day. Let it fade.
Who was there to take your place?
No one knows. Never will.
Mostly me, but mostly you.
What do you say, do you do...
when it all comes down?
'Cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this time to find out what i need, yeah! (*sniffle*)
I don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this, all this time!
There is no blame; only shame.
When you beg you just complain.
The more i come, the more i try. (SO Lex!)
All police are paranoid.
So am i. So's the future.
So are you. Be a creature.
What do you say, do you do,
when it all comes down?
'Cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this time to find out what i need, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this, all this time!
Shoot up, shoot up, shoot up you're high...
Love and hate...get it wrong.
You cut me right back down to size.
Sleep the day. Let it fade.
Who was there to take your place?
No one knows. Never will.
Mostly me, but mostly you.
What do you say, do you do...
when it all comes down?
'Cause i don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this time to find out what i need, yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I don't want to come back down from this cloud!
It's taken me all this all this time!
Why did you, why did you, why did you come down?!
I don't want to come back down from this cloud!
This cloud! This cloud! This cloud!

(a couple of 'Smallville bewilders me' songs, lol. poor early Lex, so out of his element.)

"A Tendency To Start Fires"

Strange zoo, strange blaze.
Douse my head in flames.
Coming through got to get some.
Happiness is a bad son. (how Lex is THAT line?!)
Forceps, kitchen tools:
deconstruct your every move.
Feels better when you're here.
Guillotine just got here.
Back bend, back break.
Please yourself to make it rate.
Live it all at your own cost:
so many just got lost.
Leaning for fire,
leaning to fire.
Leaning to fire.
Here's tomorrow man:
best of my ability.
Chasing what i can:
here's tomorrow man.
Instinct, bare boned:
light it up, take it home.
You will be all things.
You'll get what you bring.
Leaning to fire:
leaning to fire.
Leaning to fire.
Here's tomorrow man:
best of my ability.
Chasing watercans.
Here's tomorrow man:
best of my civility.
With our own tongue:
here's tomorrow man.

"Letting The Cables Sleep"

You in the dark.
You in the pain.
You on the run.
Living a hell.
Living your ghost.
Living your end.
Never seem to get in the place that I belong.
Don't wanna lose the time.
Lose the time to come.
Whatever you say, it's alright.
Whatever you do, it's all good.
Whatever you say, it's alright.
Silence is not the way.
We need to talk about it.
If heaven is on the way...
If heaven is on the way.
You in the sea...
on a decline.
Breaking the waves...
Watching the lights go down.
Letting the cables sleep...
Whatever you say, it's alright.
Whatever you do, it's all good.
Whatever you say, it's alright.
Silence is not the way.
We need to talk about it.
If heaven is on the way...
we'll wrap the world around it.
If heaven is on the way...
If heaven is on the way.
I'm a stranger in this town.
I'm a stranger in this town.
I'm a stranger in this town.
If heaven is on the way...
If heaven is on the way...
I'm a stranger in this town.
I'm a stranger in this town.

"Monkey"

The mind is all. We kiss everything.
We say we love. It's the skin we're in.
You're a retrograde, a vacancy.
You're the one i love,
the hate in me.
Lazy day on a darker breed;
to have is not what it's made to be. (*CRYing!!!*)
You come alone on a mass attack,
sucking your tantric suck,
fooling your one-eyed cat.
We don't mind.
We deviate our gravy brains,
set em on fire. They're all the same.
I am lionface. No sancho panza.
I'm riddled by you.
I could've been better. (*god, that man makes me BAWL!!! oh, our tragic Lex...)
I'm a monkey on a drip.
Sucker monkey on a drip.
You take such pretty photos. (hehe, Lex the voyeur.)
When will you be worthy of your good side? (that could be said of either of them.)
Where will you be when the clouds break?
And it all takes...
just a little more than you have. (*sigh*)
We don't mind

"Little Things"

Bleach the sky,
every night;
loaded on wrong,
and further from right.
Spinning around,
two howling moons...
'cause they're always there,
whatever i do.
The river is loaded.
I've been there today.
Took it some questions;
she does me again.
I'd die in your arms,
if you were dead too. (how 'ARCTIC' is that?!)
Here comes a lie;
we will always be true. (*cries* And yet...in a way...)
Going up when coming down;
Scratch away.
It's the little things that kill.
Tearing at my brains again,
the little things that kill.
the little things that kill
(this next bit sounds like Clark to me)
Bigger you give,
bigger you get.
We're boss at denial,
but best at forget.
Cupboard is empty,
we really need food.
Summer is winter,
and you always knew.
Going up when coming down.
Scratch away.
I touch your mouth.
My willy is food.
Addicted to love.
I'm addicted to fools.
I kill you once,
I kill you again.
We're starving and crude.
Welcome my friends to
the little things that kill.

"Machine Head"

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out...
Tied to a wheel. Fingers got to feel.
Bleeding through a tourniquet smile.
I spin on a whim, slide to the right.
I felt you like electric light.
For our love, for our fear;
For our rise against the years
(and years and years)...
Got a machine head, better than the rest...
Green to red, machine head.
And I walk from my machine.
I walk from my machine.
Deaf dumb and thirsty,
starting to deserve this.
Leaning on my conscience wall.
Blood is like wine.
Unconscious all the time.
If I had it all again...
I'd change it all.

"Swim"

Could not believe.
Came here today.
Helmet was on.
You blew me away, you.
House is on fire.
We're naked again.
Maybe all we need
is water and friends.
I wanna be just like you.
I wanna feel right through you.
I wanna see just with you.
I wanna live.
I wanna die you.
Thinning ice.
14 hairdryers.
Swimming to you.
Flame on earth. Desire.
Poor on the rise.
Rich on the fall.
The cripple's with you.
Fame is a whore.
I wanna fit inside you.
I want a room inside you.
If money talks I wanna buy you.
I wanna die.
I wanna die.
I wanna live you.
I'm not scared of you.
Gave up on drugs.
If I make it through
the jaws of love...
Jaws of love you give.

"Chemicals Between Us"

I want you to remember
a love so full it could send us all ways.
I want you to surrender.
All my feelings rose today!
And i want you to remain!
The power of children can amaze.
I'll try not to complain.
I know that's a pisser baby.
The chemicals between us...
the walls that lie between us...
lying in this bed...
The chemicals displaced...
There is no lonelier state...
than lying in this bed.
I want you to remember...
everything you said,
every driven word;
like a hammer hell
to my head.
The chemicals between us...
the walls that lie between us...
lying in this bed...
The chemicals displaced...
There is no lonelier state...
than lying in this bed.
The chemicals between us...
The chemicals between us...
lying in this bed.
We are the hollow men!
We are the naked ones!
We never meant you harm!
Never meant you wrong!
I'd like to thank...
all my lovers lovers lovers lovers lovers lovers...
The chemicals between us!
The army of achievers...
lying in this bed...
The chemicals displaced...
there is no lonelier state...
than lying in this bed.
The chemicals between us...
The chemicals between us...
Chemicals!
The chemicals between us...

"Cold Contagious"

Wherever you are,
you will carry always
truth of the scars
and the darkness of your faith.
Slowly move on.
How did we get to here?
It all went wrong,
Gravity claiming all your tears.
Everything looks so much better now.
You will get yours.
You have no right to ask me now.
You were never that around.
I have missed...reality day trips
and your suit me suit me ways.
Turn out the light switch.
We've been awake for days
and no-one's coming round here no more.
You will get yours.
You have no right to calm me down.
You were never that around.
I have missed...cold contagious.
All the mighty mighty men.
What you save is what you lose out in the end.
Cold contagious.
Paint your perfect day.
I don't mind this.
I'm better off, by the way:
deeply grounded.
You will get yours.
Cold contagious.
All the mighty mighty men.
What you save is what you lose out in the end.
Cold contagious.

"History"

gave my love to a thousand yesterdays
nothing is wrong
i am always a little late
probably will, probably won't
get this disease cut out of my throat
all of a sudden you come my way
baby believer,
i won't be saved by morning after
struggling my name
slave turned to master
history moans: mouth of father
history moans: mouth of father
edge of my bed
benzedrine telephone
struggling to speak
sicker than the sickest dog
falling faster than a liar's grin
we need to be saved from the shit we're in
i believe in you i have found
the perfect way to bring me down
i won't be saved
by all your yesterdays
piss on my grave
piss on the underlay
history moans: mouth of our father
it's the movement we're after

***"Straight No Chaser"
(this song is so mid-series Lex it's not even funny)

Always be there:
face i live with.
Always be there:
face i live with.
Abscess memory with broken fingers.
All the fallen down angels.
Raw pain distress: it's all in the way.
We know that we could have it all.
Some satellites of pain can't always be ignored.
War on all sides.
War on all sides.
Drink life as it comes:
straight, no chaser.
Drink life as it comes:
straight, no chaser.
Climb inside you,
away from strangers.
Building a system of alleys and motorways:
It's all in the way that...
We know we could have it all.
Some satellites of pain can't always be ignored.
It's all in the face of what we thought we knew before.
War on all sides.
War on all sides.
Keep on driving,
hair left morning wet.
There's nothing like losing you.
There's nothing like losing you.
There's nothing like losing you.
There's nothing like losing you.

(*cries some more*)

lyrics, clex
