What's the World Got in Store- Wilco

"Take your head off your feet, honey"

My local grocery store sucks.  Seriously, I couldn't find anything that I need today.  I guess that's what you get from living in a small town.  They didn't even have Halloween cupcake paper flutes!!

Wilco is pretty great.  This song especially.  Folky but kind of jazzy.  Really love it.

Take your head off your feet, honey
Cause you've been working hard and I know you're tired
You been trying hard not to think I'm a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

Come on baby somehow, I need you

Do I have to show you how, baby
I'm not trying to knock you out, or was it about
I just now you need your rest I can't say what's best for you
You been working hard and I know you're tired
I've been trying hard not to feel like a liar

What's the world got in store
What's the world got in store for you
What's the world got in store for you now

What's the world got in store

What's the world got in store for you

What's the world got in store for you now

Once Upon a Time- Smashing Pumpkins

"To wipe a mother's tears grown cold"


It is Homecoming weekend! Yay, love it.  Yesterday was walkout day, went out the night before and didn't get back to my place until 4 in the afternoon....without eating....whoops.  Then, went to the Sorority/Frat variety show last night and got up early for the parade.  We won the game! Like always.

Smashing Pumpkins are greeaaaatttt.  Oh, also, the name of this song was the theme to our Homecoming this year.

Mother I'm tired
come surrender my son
Time has ravaged on my soul
No plans to leave but still I go


Fallin' with the leaves
fallin' out of sleep
to the last goodbyes
Who cares why?


Mother I've tried
wasting my life
I haven't given up, I lie
to make you so proud in my eyes


Fallin' out of sleep
crawlin' over me
to the last goodbyes
Who cares why?


Tuesdays come and gone
Restless I still drive
Try to leave it all behind


Fallin', fallin' out of sleep
Fallin', fallin' with the leaves
I go crawling, crawling over me


Once upon a time in my life
I went falling


Mother I hope you know
that I miss you so
Time has ravaged on my soul
To wipe a mother's tears grown cold

Lost Long Shot- The New Amsterdams

"I'd rather be foolish than be scared of my own mistakes"

I give up on my fantasy team.  Seriously.  The Apathetic Team (my team name last year) is back in action. Or lack there of.

http://www.notsosilentmommy.com/2011_02_01_archive.html#axzz1b6eRZMwh

Leave it to the New Amsterdams to create a good folky song that will make you feel better when losing something!

You’ve got a world wide face
And I’ve been away for a year
I’ll hide it in someplace safe
Where even the spies don’t hear
I’ve been a lost long shot
A prodigal son by trade
Somehow the words won’t stop
Even when deals are made

Time and space
We can be distant
Running a different race
And nobody really wins
And only the fools rush in
And only the frightened wait
I’d rather be foolish than
Be scared of my own mistakes

Sorry can't find a video of this!

In a Win, Win Situation- Emery

"Just between the rock and paper"

I'm set to watch the football games today.  Seriously, my fantasy team better not dissappoint me.  I have a lot of pride in winning.

This song is a little soft for my taste, but I really like the chorus.  The dude actually has a pretty soothing voice.

I've noticed your design
Cause I'm not blind
I'm like a cigarette
Burning burning every night
But there's no ash that falls
There's only telephone calls in the afternoon
Stretching through a thousand walls

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone

I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't sleep alone

If you're measuring with time
In seconds or in lifetimes
There's no difference
It's constantly just passing by
But there's nothing at all
No valium or slow songs
To relax my view
Just you, maybe your new perfume

So I'll pray
For words to say
To make these miles disappear

If you can't sleep alone

I'm better off
I'm better off
If you can't hear the song

Then turn it off
Then turn if off
If you cast that first stone
Then throw them all
Then throw them all

I start to sleep but it's not over
The second hand is moving slower now
I'd take it all back
To start over again
Just between the rock and paper
The scissors cut in so much deeper
I'd take it all back
To start over again

 

Lust for Life- Iggy Pop

"I'm worth a million in prizes"

So sorry guys. Life has been wonderfully hectic lately.  A lot has been going on, I am super duper uper happy and will share with you later......

Who isn't happy when they hear this song?  Well, actually, I take that back.  I sadly think of car commercials when I hear this or vacation spots in the bahamas.  Dumb advertising.  BUT it still sums up what I feel!

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine
He's gonna do another strip tease

Hey man, where'd you get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I've bought the gimmick
about something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before

I have a lust for life
Cause of a lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
Wear a uniform all on a government loan

I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life
Cause of a lust for life 
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life 
Oh, a lust for life 
Oh, a lust for life 
A lust for life
I got a lust for life
Got a lust for life

Well, I'm just a modern guy

Of course, I've had it in my ear before
Well, I've a lust for life

Cause I've a lust for life

Here comes Johnny Yen again
With the liquor and drugs
And the flesh machine I know

 He's gonna do another strip tease

Hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick

about something called love
Love, love, love

Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens

Well, I'm just a modern guy
Of course, I've had it in the ear before
And I've a lust for life
Cause I've a lust for life
Got a lust for life

Yeah, a lust for life
I got a lust for life
A lust for life
Got a lust for life
Yeah a lust for life
I got a lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life

Battle of Who Could Care Less- Ben Folds Five

"You're my hero, I confess"


I just bought the Ben Folds Whatever and Ever Amen album online for 4 bucks! Hellz yeah! Plus, it's great to have the album I was orginally supposed to have when I bought this at Vintage Stock (check past posts).  And I must say, it is great.  Makes me love Ben Folds even more.

http://music-wallpapers.net/view_ben_folds_five_1024x768.html

This is my favorite song on this album.  It's really funky because of the chord progressions.  Pretty great song.  So catchy. 

Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
But it sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks, it works
I guess it's cool to be alone


Will you never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less?
Every day you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was that way


And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files and
Call to see if Paul can score some weed


Do you never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less?
 Unearned unhappiness

That's alright I guess


I've got this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the
Franklin fucking Mint?
Fine pewter portraits of
General Apathy and Major Boredom singing
Whatever and ever amen
Oh well, maybe not
I'll try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
and you're all dressed up like the Cure


You'll never rest
fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
You're my hero, I confess

I Think Ur a Contra- Vampire Weekend

"Never pick sides, never choose between two, but I just wanted you"

I saw my ex (not the creepy one) for the first time since we broke up today at the football game.  It was weird that I kept running into him, especially since I haven't seen him since March.  It was an awkward convo, but nice and friendly.  Short and sweet.  Before he left, he said call me.  I don't know if he means that.  Should I call him? To give you some background, he was the first guy I ever fell in love with.  We hit it off immediately, then he broke it off a few months later unexpectedly saying he didn't have enough time to date.  A week before that, he was making plans for our summer together. 

http://idiva.com/news-relationships/9-signs-you-are-not-over-your-ex/2247

This was my breakup song with this guy.  Pretty much sums up everything.  I think he was a contra and that he lied.  And it still hurts to this day. 

I had a feeling once
that you and I
could tell each other everything
for two months
But even with an oath
with truth on our side
when you turn away from me
it's not right

I think you're a contra
I think you're a contra 
I think you're a contra
I think you're a contra

My revolution thoughts
your little arrows of desire

I wanna trace them to the source
and the wire
But it's not useful now
since we both made up our minds
you gotta watch out for yourself
so will I

I think you're contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me contra
till you've tried

You wanted good schools
and friends with pools
You're not a contra
You wanted rock' n' roll,
Complete control
Well, I don't know

Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you

 I just wanted you
Never pick sides
Never choose between two
But I just wanted you

I just wanted you

I think you're Contra
I think that you lie
Don't call me Contra
Till you've tried
