Were you hare, when I was fox?

Long afloat, on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving to your aisle,

And you sang
sail to me, sail to me,
let me enfold you.

Here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you
Did I dream, you dreamt about me ?
Were you hare, when I was fox ?
now my foolish boat, is leaning broken lovelorn on your rocks

For you sing,
touch me not touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart shys from the sorrow

I’m as puzzled as the newborn child
I’m as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers or
should I lie with death my bride

Hear me sing
swim to me, swim to me
let me enfold you,

Here I am, here I am,
waiting to hold you

Song to the Siren – The Czars 2006

May no mans touch ever tame…

All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man’s touch ever tame
May no man’s reigns ever chain you
And may no man’s weight ever defrayed your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
 

Ray Lamontagne – All the wild horses

One thing…

Once last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance, theres gonna be an accident.

I’m coming up on infrared, there is no running that can hide you,
Cos’ I can see in the dark.
I’m coming up on infrared, forget your running I will find you.

One thing before we start the final face off,
I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash your…beggars banquet,
Someone call the ambulance, theres gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infrared, there is no running that can hide you,
Cos’ I can see in the dark.
I’m coming up on infrared, forget your running I will find you, find you.

Placebo – InfraRed

When the shakes begin…

Stumble through the crowds together,
They’re trying to ignore us. That’s OK.
I’m proud to be the one you hold when the shakes begin
Sallow skinned, starry eyed, blessed, in our sin.

Elbow – Powderblue

Are you listening?

You burn too bright, You live too fast…
This can’t go on too long, you’re a tragedy waiting to happen

Elbow – Red

A ghost on the horizon…

These could be the best lyrics I’ve heard for a while…I’m late, but I just discovered the Antony & the Johnsons album – I’ll review it later – but for now, this is important:

Hope there’s someone who’ll take care of me,
When I die, will I go…
Hope there’s someone, Who’ll set my heart free,
Nice to hold when I’m tired

There’s a ghost on the horizon, When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night, How will I rest my head

Oh I’m scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don’t want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There’s a man on the horizon
Wish that I’d go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here’s hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don’t want to go
To the seal’s watershed

Hope there’s someone, Who’ll take care of me,
When I die, Will I go
Hope there’s someone, Who’ll set my heart free ,
Nice to hold when I’m tired

Hope theres Someone – Antony and the Johnsons (2005)

Rediscovered today…

I’m unclean a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You’re slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You never see the lonely me at all

I…
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I…
Fall
Without you, I’m Nothing
Without you, I’m nothing
Without you, I’m nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I’m nothing at all

Without You – Placebo & David Bowie

I’m so glad I found this…

With one hand you calm me, with one hand I’m still,
With one hand you calm me, with one hand I’m still.
People are fragile things, you should know by now,
Be careful what you put them through.
People are fragile things, you should know by now,
You’ll speak when you’re spoken to.

You’ll speak when you’re spoken to,
She’ll speak when she’s spoken to.

Lets go fishing for a dream
Lets find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves, some of the time
Lose your heart, I’ll lose my mind
We’ll make quite a pair, Dazzling all the time
Celebrity parties, The red carpet mile
Nothing is too good there for my girl
All of this world – is gonna see you shine…
