Lyrics Of The Day

We’d be so less fragile
If we’re made from metal
And our hearts from iron
And our minds from steel
And if we built an army
Full of tender bodies
Could we love each other
Would we stop to feel

- The Pierces

Lyrics Of The Day

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I’m a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me
I’m a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don’t yet
Ooh, oh, look so pretty now
You’re just so sweet
Let’s see how far you can get
See just how far you can get

She’s so fine

-”I’m a Lady” by Santigold

Lyrics Of The Day

Extraordinary Machine, by Fiona Apple

“…I certainly haven’t been shopping for any new shoes
-And-
I certainly haven’t been spreading myself around
I still only travel by foot and by foot, it’s a slow climb,
But I’m good at being uncomfortable, so
I can’t stop changing all the time

I notice that my opponent is always on the go
-And-
Won’t go slow, so’s not to focus, and I notice
He’ll hitch a ride with any guide, as long as
They go fast from whence he came
- But he’s no good at being uncomfortable, so
He can’t stop staying exactly the same

If there was a better way to go then it would find me
I can’t help it, the road just rolls out behind me
Be kind to me, or treat me mean
I’ll make the most of it, I’m an extraordinary machine…”

Lyrics Of The Day

I’m A Lady, by Santogold (Santi White)

“…And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see
I’m a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me
I’m a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don’t yet
Ooh, oh, look so pretty now
You’re just so sweet
Let’s see how far you can get
See just how far you can get

She’s so fine…”

Lyrics Of The Day

Epilepsy Is Dancing, by Antony and the Johnsons

“…I cry, ””Glitter is love!””
My eyes pinned inside
With green jewels
Hanging like Christmas stars from a golden vein

As I came to a screaming
Hold me while I’m dreaming
For my fingers are curling
And I cannot breathe

Then I cried in the kitchen
How I’d seen your ghost witching
There’s a soldering blue line
Between my eyes

Cut me in quadrants
Leave me in the corner

Ooh now, it’s passing
Ooh now, I’m dancing…”

Lyric of the Day

Every now and then I am going to post song lyrics that I am digging that day.  They won’t be the full lyrics to the song, just an excerpt. Today’s these lyrics are resonating with me:

Eternal Flame, by Joan as Police Woman

“… Just in case you never knew
I can’t be the lighter
Of your eternal flame

Oh! Oceans, rivers, lakes
That we could swim as two
But I already own my
Own body of water

You’ll follow me and
Yes, yes
I’ll follow you,
It’s true
But I’m already certain
I’ve got good directions

Just in case you never knew
I won’t be becoming
I am the beginning
And I’m already
Done

These yes days
They’ve come and gone
Not always going to make
The same mistakes…”

Society, by Eddie Vedder

Oh it’s a mystery to me.
We have a greed, with which we have agreed…
and you think you have to want more than you need…
until you have it all, you won’t be free.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.
I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

When you want more than you have, you think you need…
and when you think more then you want, your thoughts begin to bleed.
I think I need to find a bigger place…
cause when you have more than you think, you need more space.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.
I hope you’re not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed…
I hope you’re not lonely, without me.

There’s those thinkin’ more or less, less is more,
but if less is more, how you keepin’ score?
It means for every point you make, your level drops.
Kinda like you’re startin’ from the top…
and you can’t do that.

Society, you’re a crazy breed.
I hope you’re not lonely, without me.
Society, crazy indeed…
I hope you’re not lonely, without me
Society, have mercy on me.
I hope you’re not angry, if I disagree.
Society, crazy indeed.
I hope you’re not lonely…
without me.

Now that’s something to think about…
