K's Choice - Virgin State Of Mind

My love for K's choice -no matter how many people claim them to be depressing- transcends words and borders an obsession



There's a chair in my head on which I used to sit
Took a pencil and I wrote the following on it

Now there's a key where my wonderful mouth used to be
Dig it up, throw it at me
Dig it up, throw it at me

Where can I run to, where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind

Got a knife to disengage the voids that I can't bear
To cut out words I've got written on my chair
Like do you think I'm sexy
Do you think I really care

Can I burn the mazes I grow
Can I, I don't think so

Can I burn the mazes I grow
Can I, I don't think so

Where can I run to, where can I hide
Who will I turn to now I'm in a virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind
Virgin state of mind

Goo Goo Dolls - Slide

Could you whisper in my ear
The things you wanna feel
I'd give you anythin'
To feel it comin'

Do you wake up on your own
And wonder where you are?
You live with all your faults

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide

Yeah, I'm gonna let it slide

Don't you love the life you killed?
The priest is on the phone
Your father hit the wall
Your ma disowned you

Don't supposed I'll ever know
What it means to be a man
It's somethin' I can't change
I'll live around it

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything at all
So why don't you slide
Ooh, slide

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married Or run away?

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married
Or run away?

I wanna wake up where you are
I won't say anything

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah, slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(yeah slide)
And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
(Yeah slide)
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
(Oh, oh slide)
Yeah, slide between the sheets of all them beds you never knew
(Yeah slide)
Why don't you slide into my room
Just slide into my room
Oh, we'll run away, run away, run away

Mr T. Experience - Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend

these lyrics just crack me up, kinda true as well...


I still haven't found a girlfriend though I've tried a lot
so can you help me please it's tougher than I thought.
The odds are pretty good but the goods are pretty odd
still at this point I'd take anything you've got.

You see this all the time nice girls in love with jerks
what could they be thinking tell me how it works.
If I've got some problems well I wouldn't be the first
but the ones I have in mind are even worse.

and even Hitler had a girlfriend who he could always call
who'd always be there for him in spite of all his faults.
He was the worst guy ever reviled and despised
even Hitler had a girlfriend so why can't I?

life is full of contradictions hard to understand
and for every happy woman there's a lonely man.
Nixon had his puppy Charles Manson had his clan
but God forbid that I get a girlfriend.

Even Hitler had a girlfriend who he could call his own
to sweeten days of bitterness and feeling all alone.
I'm not as bad as Hitler but it doesn't mean a thing
since they'd rather be with Hitler more than me

I don't see why they'd rather be with Hitler more than me.

Sister Hazel - Champagne High

i wonder about the inspiration behind this song, when i first heard it i felt like i was there and watching their lead singer during his sweatheart's wedding

i can't help but believe that this is a true story, just too much emotion behind it... check it out


I wasn't looking for a lifetime with you
And I never thought it would hurt just to hear
"I do" and "I do"
And I do a number on myself
And all that I thought to be
And you'll be the one
That just left me undone
By my own, hesitation

Bridge
and for the million hours that we were
well I'll smile and remember it all
then I'll turn and go
while your story's completed mine is a long way from done.

Chorus
Well I'm on a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high
I'd toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high, high

Spring turned to summer
But then winter turned to mean
The distance seemed right
At the time it was best - to leave
And to leave behind
What I once thought was fine And so real - to me
And while I'm still gone
On the quest for my song
I'm at your - celebration

Bridge & Chorus

Your wagons been hitched to a star
Well now he'll be your thing that's new
Yeah what little I have you can borrow
'Cause I'm old and I'm blue...

Bridge

Well I'm on a champagne high (so high)
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high (so high)
Toast to the future but that'd be a lie
On a champagne high
Where will I be when I stop wondering why
On a champagne high...high...
So high so high you left me undone
so high, so high you left me undone...




oooh and sister hazel are probably the only band who master the art of the backing vocals, their backing vocalist harmonizes exceptionally well on all their songs, i can probably dedicate more than 10 posts to them but i thought i'd introduce anybody interested in them the same way i was, it was either Champagne high or "all for you" that i heard first and they are both brilliant

Jason Mraz - You And I (Live)

Was it you? who spoke the words that, things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice, I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words, get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
A little bird to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I, had ever heard and I, feel so alive

You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just dream of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have go away
Oh just remember the telephones, well they work both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring, diding ding ding
If nothing else, I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else, and that's okay,
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, finally out of words.



jason mraz is a natural. he sings with heart, like no other. check him out

Lene Marlin - sorry

"Sorry"

Do you wanna know, what I think of you
Do you wanna know
Do you wanna know, if I'm doing OK
Just ask and I'll say
I'll say the words that I've longed to speak
Have kept quiet for some time

I'm sorry, it's just too late
To get it all back, get back what we had
I'm sorry, it's just not right
We both know it wasn't meant to be like
This at all

Do you wanna know, how I feel about you
Do you wanna know,
Do you wanna know, if I'm able to forget
There are times, I wish we'd never met

I'm sorry, it's just too late
To get it all back, get back what we had
I'm sorry, it's just not right
We both know it wasn't meant to be like
This at all

Jason Mraz - Flying my guilt over a quilt (Plane)

Flying My Guilt Over A Quilt Lyrics


Drain the vein in my head
Clean out the red in my eyes to get by
Security line, the x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lie
Cry but the droughts been brought up
Drink 'cause you lookin so good in the Starbuck's cup
I complain 'bout the company that I keep
The window's for sleeping
Rearrange I'm no body I'm no laughing now

I'm leaving your town again
But I'm over the quilt you're spinning
And I'm up in the air, yea yea,
But I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, yea yea,
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, yea yea


Damn, I should be so lucky
Even only 24 hours under your touch
But still I need you so much
I cannot wait to call you
And tell you that I landed somewhere
And hand you a square of this airport
And walk you through the mains of the map that I'm gazing at
And gracefully enamed and feeling guilty for the luck
And the look that you gave me
You made me somebody, still nobody knows me
But not even me can see it, yet I'm wetter

Said I'm leaving your town, again
But I'm over the quilt you're spinning
And I'm up in the air, yea yea,
But I can see your house from here
If the plane goes down, yea yea,
I'll remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, yea yea

If it goes down

Black seeds, they tear me open
And supposedly you could crawl right through me
Taste these
teeth please
And undress me from the sweaters
Better hurry cause I'm over heating
Upward bound now,
Now, maybe I'll build a house in the clouds
Still I'm tumbling for you
Stumbling from the work that I have to do
Don't mean to harm you, no

Cause I'm leaving your town again
But I'm over the quilt you've been spinning round
And I'm up in the air, oh yea
Baby, I can see your house from here
And if my plane goes down, yea yea,
I will remember where the love was found
If the plane goes down, yea yea
I'll remember where the love was found

If the plane goes down, yea yea
I'll remember where the love was found

If the plane goes down, yea yea

The Roots - You Got Me

Featuring Eryka Badu as EVE


[chorus-EVE]
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
what club I went to with my homies
baby don't worry
you know that you got me

(Black Thought)
Somebody told me that this planet was small
we use to live in the same building on the same floor
and never met before
until I'm overseas on tour
and peep this ethiopian queen from philly
taking classes abroad
she studying film and photo flash focus record
said she workin on a flick and
could my click do the score
she said she loved my show in paris
at Elysee Montmartre
and that I stepped off the stage
and took a piece of her heart
we knew from the start
that things fall apart,
intentions shatter
she like that shit don't matter
when I get home get at her
through letter, phone, whatever
let's link, let's get together
shit you think not, think the Thought went home and forgot
time passed, we back in philly now she up in my spa
tellin me the things I'm tellin her is makin her hot
startin buildin with her constantly round the clock
now she in my world like hip-hop
and keep tellin me

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Yo, I'm the type that's always catchin a flight
and sometimes I gotta be out at the height of the night
and that's when she flip and get on some 'ol

[Eve]
Another lonely night
seems like I'm on the side you only loving your mic
I know you gotta get that paper daddy keep that shit tight
but yo I need some sort of love in my life, you dig me
while politicin with my sister from new york city
she said she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty
Psyyyych, I'm playin boo, you know it's just wit you I'm stayin boo
and when cats be poppin game I don't hear what they sayin boo
when you out there in the world, I'm still your girl
with all my classes I don't have the time for life's thrills
so when you sweatin on stage think of me when you rhyme
and don't be listenin to your homies they be leavin you blind

[Black] Yeah, so what you sayin I can trust you?
[Eve] Is you crazy, you my king for real
[Both] But sometimes relationships get ill
[Eve] No doubt

Chorus

[Black Thought]
Thet snake could be that chick
and that rat could be that cool cat
that's whispering "she tryin to play you for the fool Black"
if something's on your chest then let it be known
see I'm not your every five minutes all on the phone
and on the topic of trust, it's just a matter of fact
that people bite back and fracture what's intact
and they'll forever be I ain't on some "oh I'm a celebrity"
I deal with the real so if it's artificial let it be
I've seen people caught in love like whirlwinds
listening to they squads and listening to girlfriends
that's exactly the point where they whole world ends
lies come in, that's where that drama begins, she like

Chorus: repeat until fade



my favorite song (on good relationships gone bad) by far and i listen to it almost daily
give it a listen, you'd be surprised at how they got the message through, sung with a lot of emotions too, it's just sublime

India Arie - video

Video

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won’t
Depend of how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

[Chorus]
I’m not the average girl from your video
And I ain’t built like a supermodel
But I learned to love myself unconditionally,
Because I am a queen
I not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I’m wearing I will always be India.Arie

[Verse 2]
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it’s suppose to be
And I know my creator didn’t make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my Lips, my eyes, I’m loving what I see

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Am I less of a lady if I don’t where panty hose
My momma said a lady ain’t what she wears but what she knows…
But I’ve drawn the conclusion, it’s all an illusion
Confusion’s the name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception,Something got to change

Now don’t be offended this is all my opinion
Ain’t nothing that I’m saying law
This is a true confession
Of a life learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
So get in when you fit in
Go on and shine
Clear your mind
Now’s the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
‘Cause everything’s gonna be alright

[Chorus]

[Out]
Keep your fancy drink, and your expensive minks
I don’t need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive cars and your caviar
All’s I need is my guitar

Keep your crystal and your pistol
I’d rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don’t need you silicone, I prefer my own
What god gave me is just fine…

[Chorus]


i really enjoy this song, although it's all about women empowerment and i'm usually about commodifying each other, yet it helps me relax and only worry about enjoying myself without worrying about how people view me
