Song break

We are Augustines - Book of James

On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart

And behind him the girls played double dutch in the park

The sun began to burn his snow white skin

I guess you’re headin’ somewhere or endin’ up somewhere..

Storm clouds began to form in his head

And crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean

And the howling of hardship and heartache

Kneeled and grinned in his face

He stood there in his boots unable to move

I drove all night here to tell you that I love you

And here lies my green eyes

Rolled back in my head, but they’re alive

And all these words can all get spoken

Well I know we tried and you’re forgiven

You’re forgiven

He made his way down the boulevard

Near the 99 cent stores and the garbage in the yards

And he began to sing

About the crickets and the backroads where we used to play

I guess you’re either headin’ somewhere or endin’ up somewhere

Cause I tried the bible, I tried the bottle,

I Tried the needle, I tried to love people

And in the end there ain’t nothin’ to say

And in the end there ain’t nothin’ you can say anyway

And I stand here in my shoes, unable to move

My hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean.

And here lies my green eyes

Rolled back in my head but they’re alive

And all the words can all get spoken

Well I know we tried and you’re forgiven

You’re forgiven

Bright Lights

Bright Lights - Matchbox 20

She got out of town 

On a railway New York bound 

Took all except my name 

Another alien on Broadway
There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Somethings you can't see
Until it gets too late
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me 

From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you 

But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home
I got a hole in me now
yeah,I got a scar I can talk about 

She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me 

From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you 

But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home 

Let that city take you in, come on home
Let that city spit you out, come on home
Let that city take you down, yeah
God's sake turn around
Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around 

And come on home
Come on home
Baby, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Yeah, come on home

Happy Friday

Pheonix - Rome

Who's the boy I like the most

Is it is teasing you with underage?

Could he be waving from a tropical sunset

Static silhouette somehow

Single in his bed someday

Quiet til he fall fall falls

Rome Rome Rome Rome

Focus looking forward the Colosseum

Oh no what did I say

What can I say?

Rome Rome many tears have fallen here

I'll be driving you look the other way

I am easy to ignore

Shutters open all the way

When the scandal that I see I'll go insane

Distant silhouettes somehow

We shared a cigarette somewhere

I looked to the fall fall falls

[

Rome Rome Rome Rome

Focus looking forward the Colosseum

Oh no what did I say

What can I say?

Rome Rome many tears have fallen here

I'll be driving you look the other way

Always and forever more

I called to say I'm on the way

1 000 years remain in the trashcan

I burned the cigarette somewhere

Ashes till it fall fall falls

I stand outside under broken leaves

I know I can't do without

The future's drowned away

Ah I never loved you

And if I loved you

I wouldn't say I'm sorry oh no

I stand outside under broken leaves

Always and forever more

And together getting lonely

I thought I couldn't do this without you

Single in his bed somewhere

Ashes till it fall fall falls

Saturday Song

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

We're only young and naive still

We require certain skills

The mood it changes like the wind

Hard to control when it begins

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws

Claw my way out through these walls

One temporary escape

Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night

Our hands gripping each other tight

You keep my secrets hope to die

Promises, swear them to the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

As it withers

Brittle it shakes

Can you whisper

As it crumbles and breaks

As you shiver

Count up all your mistakes

Pair of forgivers

Let go before it's too late

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The bittersweet between my teeth 

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

play it loud:

In Living Colour

Living in Colour - Frightened Rabbit

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and we're living

and even in the blackout, I know

I am floating, I, I am floating

With my eyes closed with no sails

I am soaking, I, I am weathered

by the winter of mixed drinks

Am I dancing, am, Am I nervous?

Simply spinning in my own grave

You were asking, you, you were asking

And with two steps, I'm saved

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know

Weeks gone by, I was weak

I was paler than a pine box that holds bones

She poked the iris, then she pierced a hole

and watched the colour rush forth

Modern madonna, who held my head in 

warm hands with pink nails,

mark my mouth

whisper that the sickness will go away

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know

And though I dreamt with a rapid eye

By day I hope to rapidly die

and have organs laid on ice

wait for somebody that would treat them right

And as the night started swallowing

you put the blood to my blue lips

forced the life through still veins

filled my heart with red again

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know.

Play now.

Disclaimer: I am really loving these guys right now and I had trouble picking one song to put on the blog - so the only reason i chose this one was for the cool colour pics - courtesy of we heart it.
