Current Mood in Lyrics


Texsox

Recommended Posts

Stuff I've listened to that seems to really hit home with the mood I'm in.

 

Fleetwood Mac; Landslide

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love

Can the child within my heart rise above

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life

 

Well, Ive been afraid of changing

cause Ive built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older

Im getting older too

 

Jimmy Buffett; Changes in Latitude

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes,

Nothing remains quite the same.

Through all of the islands and all of the highlands,

If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane

 

Reading departure signs in some big airport

Reminds me of the places I've been.

Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure

Makes me want to go back again.

If it suddenly ended tomorrow,

I could somehow adjust to the fall.

Good times and riches and son of a b****es,

I've seen more than I can recall

Can't tell you what's coming next

I don't know for sure

It could be good, and it could be bad

I don't know for sure

I guess that I'll continue on from day to day

The only way to answer that

To answer that would be to be that way

 

I wanted this, and I wanted that

I don't know for sure

And don't ask because I don't know

I don't know for sure

I never get confused 'cause I don't really know

So I'm happy and so what

So what means that I don't know

 

It's too simple to explain

I don't know for sure

And words are never proper words

I don't know for sure

What is simple, what is hard

Is harder to discern

These feelings that are feeling

Like the feelings that we learn

 

:huh

Never sing for my supper

I never help my neighbour

Never do what is proper

For my share of labour.

I'm a poor boy

And I'm a rover

Count your coins and

Throw them over my shoulder

I may grow older

Nobody knows

How cold it grows

And nobody sees

How shaky my knees

Nobody cares

How steep my stairs

And nobody smiles

If I cross their stiles.

Oh poor boy

So sorry for himself

Oh poor boy

So worried for his health.

You may say every day

Where will he stay tonight.

Never know what I came for

Seems that I've forgotten

Never ask what I came for

Or how I was begotten.

I'm a poor boy

And I'm a ranger

Things I say

May seem stranger than Sunday

Changing to Monday.

Nobody knows

How cold it flows

And nobody feels

The worn down heels

Nobody's eyes

Make the skies

Nobody spreads

Their aching heads.

Oh poor boy

So worried for his life

Oh poor boy

So keen to take a wife.

He's a mess but he'll say yes

If you just dress in white.

Nobody knows

How cold it blows

And nobody sees

How shaky my knees

Nobody cares

How steep my stairs

And nobody smiles

If you cross their stiles.

Oh poor boy

So sorry for himself

Oh poor boy

So worried for his health.

You may say every day

Where will he stay tonight.

Oh poor boy

So worried for his life

Oh poor boy

So keen to take a wife.

Oh poor boy

So sorry for himself

Oh poor boy

So worried for his health

Oh poor boy.

"Island"

 

Let's sail away

Find our own country

We'll build a house and beds out of palm trees

Let's get away

Let's push our lives aside

 

I'll sport a smile

Take in some color

Under the stars

I'll be your lover

With no distractions I'm gonna treat you right

 

Well it seems like things are only getting better

Well it seems like we can never catch a break

 

Just a keep a hold on me don't let go

If you float away, if you float away

Waiting too long for a ship to come

Don't you float away, don't you float away

 

Let's go to bed

Let's stop debating

Look at the time

We're always waiting

But we're in love

And that should be just fine

 

Well it seems like things are only getting better

Well it seems like we can never catch a break

 

Just keep a hold on me don't let go

If you float away, if you float away

Waiting too long for a ship to come

Don't you float away, don't you float away

[x2]

 

And if you like (and if you like)

and if you like some other time

I would like to introduce you to the finer things

If we survive (if we survive)

If we survive, get out alive

I'd like to say how beautiful I think you...

 

Just a keep a hold on me don't let go

If you float away, if you float away

Waiting too long for a ship to come

Don't you float away, don't you float away

And yes, ask like Row, Willie, Gage or Greasy, my testicles fell off a couple of weeks ago.
