The Clash - Lost In The Supermarket

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how its been all around me

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality


Im all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
Ive got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Make me noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for that special offer
A guaranteed personality


And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost


Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - From Wilesden To Cricklewood
part how I act and how I want to connect with people

not full lyrics -http://preview.tinyurl.com/2cc6fq

From Willesden to Cricklewood
I tell you the town looked good
Walking lonely avenues
Where rhinestone cowboys find the blues
There's people in doing their thing
Gettin' all the mozzarella in
And the passing time and phassing moons
Words flying in cloudy rooms
Plastic bags, milk and eggs
The poor old crone's got aching legs
How I would love to speak
To everybody on the street
Just for once to break the rules
I know it would be so cool

From Willesden to Cricklewood
From Willesden to Cricklewood

From Willesden to Cricklewood
Come with me and be no good
Be a mad man on the street
Sing something out like reet petite
Let's hip-hop at traffic lights
Ten thumbs up and smilin' bright
Crossing all the great divides
Color, age and heavy vibes


The Libertines - I Get Along (not full lyrics http://preview.tinyurl.com/29lrlp)
I get along, I get along, I get along, I get along...
Get along

I get along just singing my song,
People tell me I'm wrong..
F**k 'em!

"Freak On A Leash," Korn
(this part, anyway!)
Sometimes I cannot take this place.
Sometimes its my life I can't take.
Sometimes I cannot feel my face.
Youll never see me fall from grace...

"Wild," Poe
I go wild cause you break me open
Wild cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken

Wild because the chips are down
Wild because there isn't anybody else around
Wild when the waves start to break
And God knows they're breaking in me now

I go wild 'cause it doesn't make sense
For me to cry out in my own defense
Wild 'cause I would do anything
To tear you off your precious fence

So this is what it's like living in limbo
First I'm high then I'm so low

I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
When I know you're near
I go wild
I go wild

Tell me what you've come for
Moving like a hunter through my back door
Leaving the perfume of all you adore
To die nameless on my floor

Yeah well we both know you don't play fair
I guess you really think that you get me there
Let's be honest perhaps this little ride
Is too much for even you to bear

You've got some nerve to come back here
You're not the only one who can smell fear

I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
Don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who runs on instincts
No I've got instincts of my own

You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack yeah I am still waiting
You wrote the rules to try to contain me
You broke 'em
Now you have untamed me
I go wild
I go wild

Tell me what you've come for
What is it you adore
Won't you tell me?
What would you
Go wild for?

You've got a lot of nerve to come back here
Speak up my darling I have been waiting

I go wild
'Cause you break me open
Wild
'Cause you left me here
I go wild
'Cause your promises are broken
Wild
Don't you get it dear
You're not the only one who runs on instincts
No I've got instincts of my own

You've got a lot of nerve to come back
Plan your attack and I am still waiting
Did you want something?
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke 'em
Now you haven't tamed me
I go wild
I go wild

Father :
Communication is not just words; communication is architecture. Because
of course it is quite obvious that a house which would be built without the sense...
without that desire for communication, would not look the way your house looks today!

"Silence Is Golden," Garbage
If I am silent
Then I am not real
But if I speak up then
No one will hear
If I wear a mask there's
Somewhere to hide

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice
Will someone get hurt
And if I can't feel then
I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken
Then no lies can hide

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Silence is golden
Nobody gets in
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Did you hear me speak
Do you understand
Did you hear my voice
Will you hold my hand
Do you understand me

Won't someone listen
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin

Safe in my own skin
Won't someone listen
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Something was stolen
I have been broken

I have been broken
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin

"Cosmic Castaway" by Elestrasy
"Quasimodo" by Lifehouse

And, of late, Meat Loaf's "Alive":

I'm still alive
Must have been a miracle
It's been a hell of ride
Destination still unknown
It's a fact of life:
If you make one wrong move with the gun to your head
You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
As long as hot blood runs through my veins
I'm still alive

Lost in the night
Feeling so invisible
Oh, a dead man walking the wire
High above the devil's net
That's made of fire
And it's a long way down from the top of the world
You better look around or you're gonna get burned

I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
And as the dust clears, look in my eyes:
I'm still alive
I'm still alive

The darkest night ain't black enough
To keep the morning light from shining
The highest wall ain't tall enough
To keep the smallest man from climbing
The more that you resist the tide
The more it pulls you in
The more you hang on for your life

(I'm a runaway train on a broken track)
(I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back this time)
(that's right)
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive

I'm a runaway train on broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back this time
That's right
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
And if my shadow's all that survives
I'm still alive
I'm still alive...

"How to Disappear Completely" - Radiohead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZq_jeYsbTs

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

This is probably one of the only songs where I really feel I can relate to both the music and the lyrics. It’s about being overwhelmed and weary from pressures the outside world puts on you. For the song writer it was about the pressure to perform and tour and his frustration with people who didn’t understand how draining it was for him. With me it’s the pressure to interact with people. The song itself has a feeling of exhaustion. It’s about being so exhausted that when you drift off to sleep you start hallucinating and imagining you’re floating. It’s about finding refuge in the feeling of floating and not having to interact with the world.

'Original' by Leftfield

Sonically we're in control
We're the diamond in your soul
Images come thick and fast
From the future, from the past

The film starts, the film ends,
Nothing is said in between.
Just sudden moments from someone else's story,
Will it ever be the same again?
Hours filled with conversation, no attention paid.
Too distracting convention, no need for friends.
Will it ever be the same again?
Will it ever be the same again?

You're original, with your own path
You're original, got your own way (x2)

Will it ever be the same again? (x2)
I need to hear that again
Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

My mother told me, don't ever change
You're original, in your own way
My mother told me, don't ever change
You're original, got your own path

You're original (x2)
Will it ever be the same again? (x2)
I need to hear that again
Because a dream starts, and a dream must end.

You're original (x5)

"Never Is A Promise," Fiona Apple


You'll never see the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you

But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still to proud to mention, to you

You'll say you understand
But you don't understand
You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

You'll never touch these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you

You'll say "don't fear your dreams"
It's easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

You'll never live this life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear the message I give
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

But as the scenery grows I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention, to you

You'll say you understand
You'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in
You don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm heading for a breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away

[Chorus]

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
matchbox 20-UNWELL

I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

this is MY song.....

"Don't Get Down" by Phantom Planet

I wanna live on the moon,
Never see a human again,
And as the earth explodes,
I'll light a candle for my dead best friends
I don't enjoy this place,
My best friends are so mean
I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me
I just want to fall asleep,

I wanna live on the moon
Never see a human again,
and as the earth explodes,
I'll light that candle for my dead best friends,
I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me

I just wanna fall asleep
and dream of a place that's warm,
I just wanna fall asleep
and dream of a place that's warm, oh yeah..

I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me

Boulevard of Broken Dreams has already been posted, so I might mention La Ballade de Jean Batailleur by Zachary Richards - lyrics sound like a cocktail of clinical depression and AS (in fact, it's got to be some of the most pessimistic lyrics ever: 'I get so bored that it frightens me... by fists and guns/ I'm the strongest in the country/that has only brought me enemies, stitches and boredom... on the edge of the world/where I was born/ life is hard,/love is broken...')
Also (don't know title), one with the lines 'All I ever wanted/all I ever needed/is here, in my world' (I really identified with this as a teen)and 'oaths are spoken/to be broken.'

"Real World" by matchbox twenty (which is quoted in my signature)...

I wonder what it's like to be the rainmaker?
I wonder what it's like to know that I make the rain?
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on everyone.
And you can come see them when I'm done...
When I'm done.

I wonder what it's like to be a superhero?
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown?
From some other planet, I get this funky high on a yellow sun.
Boy I bet my friends will all be stunned.
They're stunned...

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

And you
And you
And me

I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho?
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said?
I'd shout out an order, ?I think we're out of this man, get me some!"
Boy don't make me wanna change my tone, my tone

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me.

Please don't change, please don't break
The only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me
To you, and you to me

Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hassling me

And you
And you
And you
And me.

I'll change this if I think of a better one

Billy talent - line and sinker

What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

Today I don't feel pretty
And I'm tired of trying to fit right in
Don't think that your so great
'Cause being great must suck

We don't always see the bright side
We all need ego suicide
You hung my ID today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Don't make me feel like that
Cause that's just plain not nice

We don't always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slapped my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me
And now my fortune cookie's empty!
Cause you came and you stole it all from me!
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
