I Love These Lyrics
Ah, I remember doing this during the EP days. I'd pick 5 or 7 or 10 songs and post my favorite snippets from them. This was probably my most frequently used group... so let's do it again!
Subtle wind, blow me gone/Let me rest upon your move/I trust I'll end up sleeping/Cradled in my doom/And I feel what I feel/I can't grasp what is not real.
- "Spaceman" by 4 Non Blondes
The memories of a man in his old age/Are the deeds of a man in his prime/You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom/And talk to yourself as you die/Life is a short, warm moment/And death is a long, cold rest.
- "Free Four" by Pink Floyd
Cities full of hatred, fear and lies/Withered hearts and cruel, tormented eyes/Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise/Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise.
- "A Farewell to Kings" by Rush
I know there's a place you've walked/Where love falls from the trees/My heart is like a broken cup/I only feel right on my knees/I spit out like a sewer hole/Yet still receive your kiss/How can I measure up to anyone now/After such a love as this?
- "Who Are You?" by The Who
Now in this world of purchase/I'm gonna buy back memories/To awaken some old qualities.
- "Run" by Collective Soul
... the reason a dog has so many friends/He wags his tail instead of his tongue.
- "The Reason a Dog" by Aerosmith
Everybody in the world says I'm crazy/'cause I play the jack of hearts/You know that it's easy/Gotta get to my seat before the dreaming starts.
- "Just a Boy Again" by Box of Frogs
'tween the horror of space and the terror of time/My heart in crystal; down the line/I'm screaming.
- "Death Valley Nights" by Blue Öyster Cult
Some rich men came and raped the land/Nobody caught 'em/Put up a bunch of ugly boxes/And Jesus, people bought 'em.
- "The Last Resort" by Eagles
Well I should cry/But I've done too much already. I can't lie/'cause you're better than, than I'll ever be/And that won't take us back to you and me/Being all in love.
- "You Dirty Rat" by Scruffy the Cat
You gotta brush your teeth with rock and roll!
- "Till the Walls Come Tumblin' Down" by J. Geils Band
Subtle wind, blow me gone/Let me rest upon your move/I trust I'll end up sleeping/Cradled in my doom/And I feel what I feel/I can't grasp what is not real.
