<p>oh there's way too many I love
maybe I'll do whatever random ones I remember now and do all my gazillion arctic monkeys ones in another post
here goes:</p>

<p>time is on your side, and that will never end
the most beautiful thing that you can ever spend
but you work in a shirt with your nametag on it
drifting apart like a plate tectonic
...it don't matter to me
cause all I ever wanted to be
is a million miles away from here
somewhere a bit more familiar
...knock me down and I'll get right back up again
come back faster than a powered up Pac-Man</p>

<h2>(kaiser chiefs)</h2>

<p>So what if you're crazy?
I don't care, you amaze me
You talk
I die
You smile
You laugh
I cry</p>

<h2>(fratellis)</h2>

<p>twenty ways to see the world
and twenty ways to start a fight
...countless odd religions too
it doesn't matter which you choose</p>

<h2>(strokes)</h2>

<p>dance with the devil on Friday
Max says beans are like the touch of God
oh why not, I haven't got grief 'til Monday
Some say kids don't study, they cram
Goddamn I hate that I am what I am</p>

<h2>(jamie T)</h2>

<p>my fingertips are holding onto
the cracks in our foundation
and I know that I should let go
but I can't
and everytime we fight
I know it's not right
everytime you're upset, and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
....you said that I must eat so many lemons
cause I am so bitter
I said that I'd rather be with your friends, mate
cause they are much fitter
....yes it was childish and you got agressive
and I must admit that I was a bit scared
but it gives me thrills to wind you up</p>

<h2>(kate nash, <3)</h2>

<p>spendin' late nights
trying to pick up love
off the floor where the other brothers leave it be
though it's stuck hard down like chewing gum
....we be near heaven at a quarter to eleven
by three we are thinking of the love we lost
by four we be high
thinking of the girl lost and second
check the odds, was it worth the cost?
....or are you looking away?
wondering why you can't eat?
why you never eat?
why you're drunk all the time?
and you're cold in the heat?

<p>YouTube</a> - Dispatch playing "General" on The Late Late Show</p>

<p>Dispatch - The General</p>

<p>there was a decorated general with
a heart of gold, that likened him to
all the stories he told
of past battles, won and lost, and
legends of old a seasoned veteran in
his own time</p>

<p>on the battlefield, he gained
respectful fame with many medals
of bravery and stripes to his name
he grew a beard as soon as he could
to cover the scars on his face
and always urged his men on</p>

<p>but on the eve of a great battle
with the infantry in dream
the old general tossed in his sleep
and wrestled with its meaning
he awoke from the night
just to tell what he had seen
and walked slowly out of his tent</p>

<p>all the men held tall with their
chests in the air, with courage in
their blood and a fire in their stare
it was a grey morning and they all
wondered how they would fare
till the old general told them to go home</p>

<p>[CHORUS:]
I have seen the others
and I have discovered
that this fight is not worth fighting
I have seen their mothers
and I will no other
to follow me where I'm going</p>

<p>Take a shower, shine your shoes
you got no time to lose
you are young men you must be living
go now you are forgiven</p>

<p>but the men stood fast with their
guns on their shoulders not knowing
what to do with the contradicting orders
the general said he would do his own
duty bout would not extend it not further
the men could go as they pleased</p>

<p>but not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
till one by one
they stepped back and not a word was said
and the old general was left with his
own words echoing in his head
he then prepared to fight</p>

<p>[CHORUS]</p>

<p>go now you are forgiven</p>

24

<p>You're</a> welcome again.</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Chamillionaire - Won't Let You Down</p>

<p>Chamillitary man!
Get off your couch and go get it!</p>

<p>I'm up early in the mornin, thinkin bout gettin this money
All I know's I've gotta get that paper
The hustlers told me that I gotta go and get it
Now I'm gettin it the best way I know how
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down</p>

<p>[Chamillionaire:]
Up earlier than a mutha, chasin money koz I'm a hustler, and tomorrow everything is gonna be right, gonna be right
Only 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, that aint enough for me so I aint wastin time, wastin time
Only dreams come to sleepers and my life aint gettin cheaper so you know them dollar signs stay on my mind, on my</p>

<p>Mind
When they ask me where I'm goin, I say you already know it, bout to hit the streets and go and get whats mine
I wont let you down</p>

<p>[Chamillionaire:]
Dreams of havin finer things, riding blades, dreamin should, make you wanna wake up and get it
In real life and see the wood, in your grill, if you're slip and dont grab what you're seein, good
Only place that you gon be or ever see gon be the hood</p>

<p>I'm up early in the mornin, thinkin bout gettin this money
All I know's I've gotta get that paper
The hustlers told me that I gotta go and get it
Now I'm gettin it the best way I know how
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down</p>

<p>[Chamillionaire:]
Boy that word aint no excuse, you know what it mean to me, means your passin over opportunities repeatedly
Write it on a piece of paper, only thing I see is P, paper paper paper, chaser a better thing for me to be
No my services aint for free, make that money multiply, up early in the mornin I'll be gone
A chase with me it aint gonna be no tie, tryna explain and give em game, I dunno why I even try
You'd do the same if you was I but you are you so you gon lie
Make them think that you got cash, tell them ladies you got slabs
Only thing you get is laughs, you cant even bring down half, of the bill thats on that tab
ONly thing wrong with being broke is staying broke and makin excuses bout it like it aint no thang</p>

<p>I'm up early in the mornin, thinkin bout gettin this money
All I know's I've gotta get that paper
The hustlers told me that I gotta go and get it
Now I'm gettin it the best way I know how
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down</p>

<p>[Chamillionaire:]
Gettin bored of havin nothing, wishin I was havin somethin, I remember it like it was yesterday, yesterday
They was talkin down on me, and I hustled a couple homies, I was gettin mine while they used to pray, used to pray
They say I need to slow down but I aint slowin down for nothin, I dont wanna let that paper get away, get away
So when I'm in the streets grindin aint no need to be cryin, the best way that you can help me is to pray
I wont let you down
Pilots that was gettin lazy, females that was actin crazy, them promoters that tried to play me
Mix tape labels that wouldnt play me, my old homies that aint around me, dissin rappers that came to find me
Major labels that didnt sign me, left all that nonsense behind me when I got paid</p>

<p>I'm up early in the mornin, thinkin bout gettin this money
All I know's I've gotta get that paper
The hustlers told me that I gotta go and get it
Now I'm gettin it the best way I know how
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down, wont let you down, I wont let you down, I wont let you down
I wont let you down</p>

<p>YouTube</a> - Sweet Tangerine...By: The Hush Sound</p>

<p>Rain falls, quickly wetting my hair and clothes
My cries fall upon her deaf ears more tears
Let me in, please it's cold I'm freezing out here, I miss you my dear
You're all his and I'm all yours, like it or not, I'm all you've got</p>

<p>Everyone will make mistakes
Without the sour the sweet just ain't as</p>

<p>Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave</p>

<p>Light cuts through the clouds and haunts me, like bad dreams
Outside lookin' in I'm feeling lost and cold as sin
A shred of hope a little bit of sweetness - anything please, except for defeat
If I could I'd lock you up and toss out the key, it's just you and me</p>

<p>Everyone will make mistakes (and I know I have)
Without the sour the sweet just ain't as</p>

<p>Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave (yeah, yeah)
Sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say</p>

<p>Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay</p>

<p>I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin</p>

<p>Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave (yeah, yeah)
Sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
I word I say</p>

<p>Agree with War Chant on the Dispatch (love them)... and here's another favorite of mine.</p>

<p>Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas</p>

<p>Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more</p>

<p>Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin', I can hear them say:</p>

<p>Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more</p>

<p>Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but I hear the voices say:</p>

<p>Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
No!</p>

<p>Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you</p>

<p>Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more</p>

<p>Birdhouse In Your Soul, They Might Be Giants</p>

<p>I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am</p>

<p>Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest</p>

<p>Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am</p>

<p>There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near</p>

<p>Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>(and while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul)</p>

<p>Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)</p>

<p>Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch (while you're at it)
Who watches over you (keep the nightlight on inside the)
Make a little birdhouse in your soul (birdhouse in your soul)</p>

<p>Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul</p>

<p>I just came across this one again....</p>

<p>"You're a fine piece of real estate and I'm gonna get me some land"</p>

34

<p>Here on these cliffs of Dover
So high you can't see over
And while your head is spinning
Hold tight, it's just beginning </p>

<p>You come from parents wanton
A childhood rough and rotten
I come from wealth and beauty
Untouched by work or duty </p>

<p>And oh, my love, my love
And oh, my love, my love
We both go down together</p>

35

<p>"If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight</p>

<p>Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around</p>

<p>Let the seasons begin - When love was right nor wrong
Let the seasons begin - take the big game down"</p>

<p>Beirut, Elephant Gun</p>

<p>GREATEST LYRICS OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>LFO</a> LYRICS - Summer Girls</p>

<p>Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing</p>

<p>They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip</p>

<p>Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing</p>

<p>There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip</p>

<p>Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing</p>

<p>(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
Kung-fu fighting, had to be fast as lightning</p>

<p>This is one of my favourite lyrics:</p>

<p>From a Distance by Bette Midler</p>

<p>From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.</p>

<p>From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.</p>

<p>From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.</p>

<p>From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.</p>

<p>From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.</p>

<p>From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.</p>

<p>It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.</p>
