In The Words

Some songs are musically masterful, others are fun little dittys, some tear your heart out, and others just make you want to dance and sing along.
Sometimes its the words that just make it for you.
These are songs that are precious to me, for its all In The Words.
-----------------------------------------------------
Give me Sun, give me Dirt, give me Water,
Give me sweet,
Everlasting love.
-Sundirtwater: The Waifs

Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run.
-Lover, You Should Have Come Over: Jeff Buckley

In the dark of night
Can you take you this life
And make it all worthwhile?
Can you walk a mile
With your foolish pride
Can you be wrong just one time?
-Lightning: House Of Kings

Everybody's happy, everybodys free
Keep the big door open, everyone will come around
Why are you different, why are you that way?
If you don't get in line well lock you away.
-Typical Situation: Dave Matthews Band

She'll take your heart and leave it (Get what you see, see what you get)
Under the blade, believe it
-Shes Evil: The Beautiful Girls

Take me for what you see
For I'm transparent in the light of you.
And look inside,
See that fire burning bright
The same one that you rekindled inside me

My mouth was dry
only you quenched my thirst
I thought I was last
You told me I was first.
-Seeing Angels: John Butler Trio

Baby, it's alright
Stop your crying
Now
Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
A ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water
-Baby: Dave Matthews

If you just want to know something.
All you got to do Is ask me.
Cause though the sunsets all around us
The truth is often plain to see.

I know you been going through some hard times
Yes I have been there too before
And thought the truth is sometimes hard to hear
It's harder still to ignore

It doesn't gotta be this way
You don't gotta worry about what everybody might say
You just gotta follow your heart.
Right now yeah man right from the start.
-Sometimes: John Butler Trio

And the side you never get to see
Is the part I keep from everyone
And the side you never get to see
Is alive, comes alive.
-The Side You Never Get to See: The Frames

I know how to be controlled
do opposite of what your told.
Quick to react, to break the box
turn on queue, as your cell door locks.
-No one loves me & neither do I: Them Crooked Vultures.

And there were so many fewer questions
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
-Holes to Heaven: Jack Johnson

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling.
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
-Fake Plastic Trees: Radiohead

Unspoken rules of solitude
Wound without a trace
A lifetime of dreams roll down your face.
All that we can't say
Is all we need to hear.
When you close your eyes
Does the world disappear?
-Never Leave Lonely Alone: Ben Harper

When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you...
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love
-Lilac Wine: Jeff Buckley

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
And you can tell that's true.
-Old Man: Neil Young

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.
-After the Storm: Mumford and Sons

But I still feel for you
'Cos you are the greatest woman
This old man has ever met
You taught me about my soul
You shared with me your magic
-Betterman: John Butler Trio

Simple things are better said in simple ways,
I'm a simple man in love with you.
These are the gates of Eden,
Take my hand we'll walk on through.
- Gates Of Eden: The Doobie Brothers

When the moon fell in love with sun
All was golden in the night
All was golden when the day met the night.
-When the day met the night: Panic! at the Disco
