    Default EYTL: Expressing Yourself Through Lyrics

    Post the lyrics (pre-conceived by artists) that define your mood right now.

    Here's one:

    With one eye on the clock
    And one on the phone
    It's 5:19...
    I'm feeling alone
    And if I could talk to you
    I'd want you to know
    .......

    忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」

    Heard these lyrics playing on my list of hundred tunes. I finally found the song to my mood (not only now), the mood that has been attaching to me for the past few weeks.

    Hard to Say I Sorry Lyrics
    Artist(Band):Chicago

    click to show/hide spoilers
    "Everybody needs a little time away," I heard her say, "from each other."
    "Even lover's need a holiday far away from each other."
    Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to stay.

    After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
    And after all that's been said and done,
    You're just the part of me I can't let go.

    Couldn't stand to be kept away just for the day from your body.
    Wouldn't wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love.
    Hold me now. It's hard for me to say I'm sorry. I just want you to know.
    Hold me now. I really want to tell you I'm sorry. I could never let you go.

    After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.
    And after all that's been said and done,
    You're just the part of me I can't let go.

    After all that we've been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.

    You're gonna be the lucky one.

    From me, as is often the case, a Beatles song:

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://www.frenchtoastgirl.com/weblog/images/sh_help.jpg')

    Here I stand head in hand
    Turn my face to the wall
    If she's gone I can't go on
    Feelin' two-foot small

    Everywhere people stare
    Each and every day
    I can see them laugh at me
    And I hear them say

    Hey you've got to hide your love away
    Hey you've got to hide your love away

    How can I even try
    I can never win
    Hearing them, seeing them
    In the state I'm in

    How could she say to me
    Love will find a way
    Gather round all you clowns
    Let me hear you say

    Hey you've got to hide your love away
    Hey you've got to hide your love away



    The original video from the movie HELP!

    These words come very motivating. Just what a depressing mood needs (in this bloody cold igloo of black & white). Let the flame of passion dazzle! Steady, gear up and drive on! Never give up! As long as there's flicker of light, there's hope.

    I could visualise myself working in Pixar Studio

    Eternal Flame - Michael Learns to Rock
    click to show/hide spoilers
    The doors are open and you're on your way
    The eyes of the world are on you to day
    Fire is deep in your heart
    Desire burning from the start
    Your feeling like a winner deep inside

    [Chorus:]
    Dreaming of gold body of steel
    driving you on making you feel
    Second to none united again
    You carry the eternal flame

    Breaking the records for power and speed
    Your faith in yourself now is all that you need
    Tears when chances are gone
    Joy for the lucky ones
    and then we celebrate a world who join as one

    [Chorus:]
    Dreaming of gold body of steel
    driving you on making you feel
    Second to none united again
    You carry the eternal flame

    Almost Lovers by A Fine Frenzy (favorite song at the moment)

    ____________

    Well, I never want to see you unhappy
    I thought you'd want the same for me

    Goodbye, my almost lover
    Goodbye, my hopeless dream
    I'm trying not to think about you
    Can't you just let me be?
    So long, my luckless romance
    My back is turned on you
    Should've known you'd bring me heartache
    Almost lovers always do

    We walked along a crowded street
    You took my hand and danced with me
    Images
    And when you left, you kissed my lips
    You told me you would never, never forget
    These images
    ____________

    Do you remember?
    Phil Collins

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXBuhk-8sWs

    We never talked about it
    But I hear the blame was mine
    I'd call you up to say I'm sorry
    But I wouldn't want to waste your time

    'Cos I love you, but I can't take any more
    There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
    Yes we could try, like we tried before
    But you keep on telling me those lies

    Do you remember... ?

    There seemed no way to make up
    'Cos it seemed your mind was set
    And the way you looked it told me
    It's a look I know I'll never forget

    You could've come over to my side
    You could've let me know
    You could've tried to see the distance between us
    But it seemed too far for you to go.

    Do you remember... ?

    Through all of my life
    In spite of all the pain
    You know people are funny sometimes
    'Cos they just can't wait
    To get hurt again

    Tell me, do you remember... ?

    There’re things we won't recall
    And feelings we'll never find
    It's taken so long to see it
    Cos we never seemed to have the time

    There was always something more important to do
    More important to say
    But "I love you" wasn't one of those things
    And now it's too late

    Do you remember... ?

    Tell me now..., tell me now...
    Yang Guo & Zhou Botong said in Chapters 6, 11 & 25 of ROCH:
    - 这道姑也算得美了,只是还不及桃花岛郭伯母,更加不及我姑姑。
    - 原来郭伯母竟是这般美貌,小时候我却不觉得。
    - 龙姑娘,我瞧你品貌才智,和那小黄蓉不相上下,武功也跟她差不离。

    Leave Me Alone by New Order

    $this->handle_bbcode_img_match('http://www.neworderonline.com/Photos/Cache/5023.582.large.jpg')

    On a thousand islands in the sea
    I see a thousand people just like me
    A hundred unions in the snow
    I watch them walking, falling in a row
    We live always underground
    It's going to be so quiet in here tonight
    A thousand islands in the sea
    It's a shame

    And a hundred years ago
    A sailor trod this ground I stood upon
    Take me away everyone
    When it hurts thou

    From my head to my toes
    From the words in the book
    I see a vision that would bring me luck
    From my head to my toes
    To my teeth, through my nose
    You get these words wrong
    You get these words wrong
    Everytime
    You get these words wrong
    I just smile

    But from my head to my toes
    From my knees to my eyes
    Everytime I watch the sky
    For these last few days leave me alone
    But for these last few days leave me alone
    Leave me alone
    Leave me alone
    My obsessions: Joy Division, New Order, Bones, The Office.

    Angels - Robbie Williams

    I sit and wait
    Does an angel contemplate my fate
    And do they know
    The places where we go
    When we're grey and old
    'cos I have been told
    That salvation lets their wings unfold
    So when I'm lying in my bed
    Thoughts running through my head
    And I feel the love is dead
    I'm loving angels instead (partial lyrics)

    (heartfelt lyrics) Feel - Robbie Williams

    Come and hold my hand
    I wanna contact the living
    Not sure I understand
    This role I've been given

    I sit and talk to God
    And he just laughs at my plans
    My head speaks a language
    I don't understand

    I just want to feel real love
    Fill the home that I live in
    'Cause I got too much life
    Running through my veins
    Going to waste

    I don't want to die
    But I ain't keen on living either
    Before I fall in love
    I'm preparing to leave her
    I scare myself to death
    That's why I keep on running
    Before I've arrived
    I can see myself coming
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    Fix You - Coldplay

    _______

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you'll never know

    Just what you're worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Does Coldplay have a knack for that line? It's also in "Speed of Sound".

    Default Do I make you proud? - Taylor Hicks

    Some meaningful lyrics comes with a reflection of you in it. I see myself in here, and the very same question that I wanted to ask the (late) someone that I felt the gratitude towards. I see "me" in the 1st part of verse 1. That's me, exactly.

    [Verse 1:]
    I've never been
    The one to raise my hand
    That was not me
    And now that's who I am
    Because of you
    I am standing tall

    My heart is full
    Of endless gratitude
    You were the one
    The one to guide me through
    Now I can see
    And I believe
    It's only just beginning

    [Chorus:]
    This is what we dream about
    But the only question with me now
    Is do I make you proud
    Stronger than I've ever been now
    Never been afraid of standing out
    Do I make you proud

    [Verse 2:]
    I guess I've learned
    To question is to grow,
    That you still have faith,
    Is all I need to know,
    I've learned to love,
    My selfish part of me,
    And I've learned to
    Walk on the road I believe.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    This is totally me lately.

    Pink Floyd - "One of My Turns"

    Day after day, love turns gray
    Like the skin of a dying man.
    Night after night, we pretend its all right
    But I have grown older and
    You have grown colder and
    Nothing is very much fun any more.
    And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
    I feel cold as a razor blade,
    Tight as a tourniquet,
    Dry as a funeral drum.

    Run to the bedroom,
    In the suitcase on the left
    You'll find my favorite axe.
    Don't look so frightened
    This is just a passing phase,
    One of my bad days.
    Would you like to watch T.V.?
    Or get between the sheets?
    Or contemplate the silent freeway?
    Would you like something to eat?
    Would you like to learn to fly?
    Would'ya?
    Would you like to see me try?

    AAAH, no!

    Would you like to call the cops?
    Do you think it's time I stopped?
    Why are you running away?

    Back for Good by Take That

    Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
    It wasn't good
    But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
    But that was not to be
    In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
    Can't you find a little room inside for me

    I love the way you love me by Boyzone

    I like the feel of your name on my lips
    I like the sound of your sweet gentle kiss

    And how you've convinced me to dance in the rain
    With everyone watching like we were insane

    And I like to imitate ol' Jerry Lee
    And you roll your eyes when I'm slightly off key
