You're Dead, Let's Disco by silverspur, literature

Literature

You're Dead, Let's Disco

Oh lover do you hear me now? Cos I've tried to get my point across But it's like battling the seven seas In a tiny little sail boat The water's pouring in And I don't think you're listening And I don't think I'm giving in Oh love the tides they are a turnin' The seasons change like night and day In a town where nothing stays the same And you leave the ones you love Cos you can't stand them anymore The winter lied, the summer stings But I can't bear to give in And I'll dance a little disco on your grave my darling For the words we left unsaid For the tears I never shed Oh lover, you've become a ghost Chalking broken hearts on

The End by silverspur, literature

Literature

The End

And it's all over now But I think I could be thirty and still not be ready It's a test of strength But strength is the last thing on my mind cos I'm completely lost They didn't tell me the last three years would be a waste When they took all my money They drank me dry and left me to die In a prison cell to call my own I guess it became home And it seems like only yesterday I got my priorities straight and struck out alone I suppose it was a gamble But it was right at the time, I wouldn't change a thing They didn't tell me anything of use So I learnt it all without them I bought cds instead of food I just thought they fed me m

Patchwork by silverspur, literature

Literature

Patchwork

Got a little notebook to hold all my secrets But I've hardly written anything at all The pages tell stories of when we were happy Not the days we fell apart Can't bring myself to hold a pen To let you go or be free again And the patchwork hearts are fraying round the edges And all I can do is watch I suppose I'm half way there Between love and a place where I just don't care But I think I talk too much To cover the truth that lies behind The debris of a failed relationship I don't want to be free again Still the patchwork hearts are fraying round the edges And all I can do is watch I keep thinking about the mistakes that I mad

Waiting In The Wings by silverspur, literature

Literature

Waiting In The Wings

Tiny little hypocrite You'll get crushed some day And I won't be around to save you I don't think it's in my nature to forgive He won't always love you And believe me the first is the worst It's a pain you won't see coming It's a pain I won't heal Chorus: And time moves like a storm Chasing you til the lightning strikes So please keep shutting me out But don't expect to turn around And see me waiting in the wings So I'm scanning my record collection Looking for references to throw into my songs And it's oh so pretentious Oh it's just like you, just like you Chorus: And time moves like a storm Chasing you til the lightning

Substitute by silverspur, literature

Literature

Substitute

Well I knew this would be uncomfortable But this just reached new levels of awkwardness Guess I should've known that the fallout would hit me Like a bullet to the back of the head, I wish we'd never fallen into bed And in the back of my mind was the fear that I'd slip, that I'd break But you knew that didn't you So I stepped back and you took what you needed Just for the night you can be a substitute Oh that look in your eyes it was fake all the time As you whispered a few more lies It's okay, yes I swear, keep poisoning the air Baby this works both ways I'll tell you you're great, flatter your ego Keep the truth to myself Cos

Me Without You by silverspur, literature

Literature

Me Without You

I thought that I was right, I guess I couldn't see The truth hanging around so blatently You barely scratched the surface of who I am today I'm not the girl you thought I was anyway My sheets are clean, can you say the same? I guess we all just deal in different ways No longer special, I heard you pulled this all before I asked her to tell me how long the hurt lasts for She said: "You'll laugh, you'll cry, You'll wear out your favourite cd just trying to make it better Just trying to fix yourself up again." I'll put on my dancing shoes and call up all my friends I don't want to end up in your bed again Oh I'm lying to myself and

Literature

Fireworks - Lyrics

Well we were having ourselves a real good time Sailing out into the night And it was a little cold but I hardly noticed As I stared right back to the shore I think I left something behind tonight The drinks were cheap and we had a few too many And that explains the rest of the night away You see when I screw up, I do it in style Chorus: I think I left something behind tonight And one day this will all make sense somehow Oh I'm okay if you're okay and I'm lying through my teeth The fireworks just light up the problems Conversations over lunch and football matches Trying to figure out where it all went wrong We jumped into a hurr

Literature

Starlight - Lyrics

The weather is changing and I'm not so sure I like it It makes sneaking out at 3am so much less fun As the starlight disappears I'll fade away too Retreating into the shell of the person I once knew And all the way home you sing songs about A tiny little girl complaining she's tied down in her tiny little world So as the sun rises you make a wish for yourself to never be like her You're all black lace and make up and dressed up and still a child Move along, there isn't time to waste You've gotta work out where you want to go, They say it's easier in the clear light of the morning They ask all sorts of questions like "How do you fe

Supermarket Boys - Lyrics

It's been 4 months since you've been gone And I kinda hoped by now I'd have forgotten you My little black book has been filling up But they're all supermarket boys and honey they're useless No one can do the things you do He just don't play guitar and he don't look as good as you And I'm writing letters every day But I'm too scared to send them anyway And some bitch knocked me senseless the other night I didn't have the heart to hit her back She looked like the type of girl you'd go for darlin' A skank down to the core but so so shiny on the surface No one can do the things you do You look beyond the obvious and don't s

Headed For The Hills - Lyrics

I always run but in the wrong direction And I hate the way I take this on you Another shot with the familiar old pool cue What a surprise I missed once again And your friends, they can see this happening But you're blind when it comes to me I've had to be strong for everyone else Everyone but myself Couldn't be weak, couldn't cry myself to sleep Like I do now And I can't handle this So I smile the smile that everyone wants to see And I'll be the way that everyone wants me to be I'll fall in and out of love with myself, Not with everyone else Could you care a little less? Cos it would help me hate you And that's better than th

Porcelain

I did this on purpose Just to see how you'd react It didn't turn out the way I planned. Maybe I could be the one To watch you fall asleep Or maybe not Oh and you sang "Let it come to you" Oh you sang Say you never saw The scars upon my soul Say you'll never love me at all Your words, though cruel Will save me bucketloads of pain It's easier to stop me now, before I fall too far Oh and you sang "Don't be so hard on yourself, darlin'" You sang I sleep in my bed Trying to forget The fact that You're not that far away So thank you for all that you gave me But I think I'm gonna have to throw it away Oh and I sang "It's so

Fairy Lights and Ballet Shoes

I guess there are some things I just can't explain Like the feeling I felt that night I wish we could just pull on our ballet shoes And dance, dance away I guess I didn't see you walk into my life Bringing the heartache with you And I... Felt you fly me to the moon and back In your eyes With your words Through your song I guess there are some things you just don't tell For fear of hurting the other more than you hurt yourself I guess I didn't see you walk into my life Bringing the heartache with you And I... Knew you could read my fears In my eyes In my words In my song I wish we could just pull on our ballet shoes And da

Here's Hoping by silverspur, literature

Literature

Here's Hoping

You're a lie in a world of truth Staining the clarity And I'm tired of recycling lines The lines I do not mean You're a star burning out in the sky Fading, though no one can see No one but me anyway I've done all I can do, been all I can be And how can you blame me For giving up on you When you gave up first, you see All the drugs in the world can't save you now You're a winter's rain on a summer's day Soaking me through to the bone I wish you wouldn't shower me with your problems Can't you see I have enough of my own And how can you blame me For giving up on you When you gave up first, you see All the drugs in the world ca

Echo by silverspur, literature

Echo

Echoes Echoes of what was A picture of what is Letters from the past And songs to commemorate the future Oh I..... want to stumble across Something true and real Falling through the clouds Falling down In front of echoes of my life I don't want to do this anymore Seek, find and then hide Why not take the chance oh No more regrets child Oh I..... want to stumble across Something true and real Falling through the clouds Falling down In front of echoes of my life So bring the bottle crashing down And smash it on the table One more drop will kill you One more drop will kill you And throw every dream Out the window One mo

Nearly New by silverspur, literature

Literature

Nearly New

Your words are just too quiet but your actions scream the truth And I don't believe a word you're saying anyway The sentences you're forming don't make any sense But I'm so tired I'll just fall to pieces And I gave you the one thing I can never retrieve Tread softly 'cause you're walking on my dreams I guess you don't want the nearly new and used And Michelle broke your heart now, didn't she darlin' Well trust me honey, someday she'll come crawling Back to you, But will you want her? Will you want her? And I gave you the one thing I can never retrieve Tread softly 'cause you're walking on my dreams I guess you don't want the near

Winter by silverspur, literature

Literature

Winter

Puddles of loneliness as deep as the ocean And you drown before you realise you're wet Have I missed my chance or was it just the train? And perhaps what I don't say gives me away You couldn't see it all in a day So there's no point trying Slivers of moonlight creep through the cracks in your soul And you can't feel the pain no matter how hard you try Puddles of loneliness as deep as the ocean And you drown before you realise you're wet You couldn't see it all in a day So there's no point trying And this eternal winter I'm living in Oh it just, it just pulls you in You couldn't see it all in a day So there's no point trying Ha

Back To Him

How can I have fucked this up already? I think I just try too hard So tell the truth, tell me what you're feeling be honest with me so I can be honest with myself I guess you see her when you're with me Comparing every little thing I do Well it's been a year so why can't you forget her? Or love me too? So tell the truth, tell me what you're feeling be honest with me so I can be honest with myself And I can make a mess like no one else And I felt for sure I was too intense I guess it's my fault again And I guess I'm just displacing All I felt for him But that's not fair to you To myself So tell the truth, tell me what you're f

Riptide by silverspur, literature

Literature

Riptide

Summer's flown by, it's time to move on But no matter how hard I try I know That a part of me will be forever cold Would you like to shoulder the blame? I lie here lonely, just a little bitter, I know It's not for lack of wanting that I can't cry I hate myself for waiting, for being to shy I'll never learn, I'm the only one I can blame. And will you remember The girl who leaves in September Who wanted to give you all she had But you were too confused. Everybody says I'll meet someone new But nobody else could be quite like you No one else seems quite so confused They haven't suffered all of your pain. It's okay I know you're d

Sandcastle by silverspur, literature

One last thing before I go If I run will you follow? There's a hole inside of me Will you stay when I leave? Tell me why I am the way I am Or don't you understand me like I don't understand me Will you help me to be sane again? If I run will you follow? But even the crazy side of me can see That talking's a total waste of time What's the point in trying if you're not listening? Oh you're making me want to run You could cut straight through the silence Paint it black and blue to match the mood No matter what I want to say or how much I want to stay It's like walking on eggshells. And even the crazy side of me can see That talk

Just The Way I Knew You Would

2am and I can't sleep Whispered to myself 2:30 and I begin to think Pretty soon I realised that You never gave me enough To miss it now it's gone You never gave me enough To miss it now its - Gone like a summer breeze Drifting through the day Gone like a broken dream Shattered by the sun And I never wanted much I think you'll miss me now I'm gone I guess I never told you as such But I'm sure you'll miss me now I'm Gone Now it's 3am and I'm wide awake Wondering where it all went wrong I thought our world was chrysolite But somehow I was wrong And now you're gone. Oh but you never gave me enough To miss it now it's gone

Lullaby by nah-belle, literature

Literature

Lullaby

I'll paint the sky with stars and we can both watch them together Hand in hand in the dewdrop grass while time just drifts away And maybe later on I'll paint the moon above our heads So we can listen to the restless wolves as they come out to play As the breeze tickles the trees and the lazy clouds sail by Fireflies dance among moonbeams and chase my thoughts away Now you can get out your guitar and sing a lullaby We'll sleep under the painted sky till night melts into day

Happily Ever After by nah-belle, literature

Literature

Happily Ever After

Once upon a time there was a fella who was different from all the other guys in town. He didn't chase after every bit of skirt nor did he brag about his sexual conquests in the pub and he always made sure he looked his best. Fella lived in a small house with his father and his step-mother because his own mother had died. His step-mother was an evil woman that had two daughters just like her. The three were often cruel to Fella for being different and made him do all the housework by himself. As it so happened the Prince (there always has to be a prince, it wouldn't be a fairytale otherwise) announced that he was going to have a ball to find

Cowboy Boots - Lyrics

It gets harder to patch up this cracked old heart But don't you worry a little superglue will go a long way Til I forget to keep it hidden And I'm crying once again It gets easier to fake a smile and show some skin But don't you think the last thing I want to do is let you in? Shaking at the thought of you Or could that just be the cold? Chorus: So I'll drive right out to the middle of nowhere Down the dusty roads you once mentioned Sing some stupid country songs And forget you, I'll forget you If I fake being okay, then I'll be okay Isn't that right? Isn't that what they told me? Crumpled paper heart in worn out hands How lon

Damn you Hannah lol! 1. I'll respond with something random about you. 2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you. 3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in. 4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me. 5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you. 6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of. 7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you. 8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal

*ahem* I have rediscovered my love for that old 90s tv show "California Dreams" - no laughing please hehe. It made me want to be in a band, so I think I really have the show to thank for me being where I am today music-wise. I've found a site with all the songs available for download so I had a little regression back to my childhood lol (is it worrying that I still remember the lyrics??? And occasionally what happened in specific episodes in which they were played? *hangs head in shame*) I'd kill for some episodes to watch again, so (and this is a long shot) if anyone has managed to download them somewhere and could stick them on a cd for
