Why don’t you write one then.
Meet me behind the bike sheds.
I’m a Poet
but I am not THE poet
I like poetic lyrics and lyricists and I like clever plays on words. I have never studied poetry, well not modern poetry, but I do study lyrics. I wish I could write music, as to be able to write both the words and the melody is a gift.
Must I Paint you a Picture
Billy BraggIt’s bad timing and me
We find a lot of things out this way
And there’s you
A little black cloud in a dress
The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
If these are tears let them fallChorus:
Must I paint you a picture
About the way that I feel
You know my love for you is strong, girl
You know my love for you is realIt took a short walk and a talk
To change the rules of engagement
While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
And so I lost my ignorance
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
I look across to them againAll your friends said come down
It will never fly
And on that imperfect day
We threw it all away
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
This would never happen if we lived by the seaMost important decisions in life
Are made between two people in bed
I found that out at my expense
And when I see you
You just turn around and walk away like we never met
Oh we used to be so brave
I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers stillmakes me smile – lovely
what nonsense
Twinkle twinkle little bat
How I wonder what your at
Up above the world so high
Like a tea tray in the sky:D
Leave out all the rest
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else caredAfter my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done hereSo if you’re asking me
I want you to know[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedAnd don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I madeI’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have youSo if you’re asking me
I want you to know[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedDon’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memoryLeave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so wellPretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missedDon’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the restForgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so wellPretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you arecwtchyone
Littlest things – Linkin Park
Water grey
Through the windows
Up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean
Everywhere[Chorus]
Don’t wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothin to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistakin
The levees are breakinAll you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet, underwater
I doHope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares[Chorus]
Don’t wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothin to you
The little things give you away
But now there will be no mistakin
The levees are breakinAll you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet, underwater
I doAll you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet, underground now
I
Now I do[Brad’s Guitar Solo]
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away
Little things give you away(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you(Little things give you away)

they apparently wrote this after visiting New Orleans after the hurricane….. so…. for the all those flooded this week, this is for you.
So Real
Love, let me sleep tonight
On your couch..
And remember the smell
And the fabric
Of your simple city suit..Oh… That was so real
Oh… That was so real
Oh… That was so realWe walked around
’til the moon got full
Like a plate..
And the wind blew an invocation
And I fell asleep
At the gate..
And I never stepped on the cracks ’cause I thought I’d hurt my mother
And I couldn’t awake from the nightmare
That sucked me in
And pulled me under
Pulled me underOh… That was so real
Oh… That was so real
Oh… That was so realI love you..
But I’m afraid to love youI Love you
But I’m afraid to love – you…
I’m afraid…Oh… That was so real (x6)
..real real real…
Oh… That was so real
Oh… That was so real
Oh… That was so realThe Pretender
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all beganSend in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in… again
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are at the ready
Are you ready?I’m finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, but
The wheel is spinning me
It’s never ending, never ending
Same old storyWhat if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?In time or so I’m told
I’m just another soul for sale… oh, well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We’re temporary, temporary
Same old storyWhat if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?I’m the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I’m the face that you have to face
Mirrored in your stare
I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right
I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that will take you down
Bring you to your kneesSo who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretendWhat if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?What if I say I’m not like the others?
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all… pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?What if I say I’m not like the others?
(Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I’m not just another one of your plays?
(You know they all… pretend)
You’re the pretender
What if I say that I’ll never surrender?So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
