Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When the head of state didn't play guitar
Not everybody drove a car
When music really mattered and when radio was king
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When pop stars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
My mom and dad were in their teens
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
When record shops were still on top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In seventy-seven and sixty-nine revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
'Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.'
['There is only one thing we say to death. Not today'.']

'cause I just wanna be loved just wanna be heard
Be lost in the feeling standing here
At the door to my life
Now that day has arrived so loud and clear
You'll hear me singing
Do do doo do do do do do do
I'm singing
Do do do do do do do do do
"Recovery is something that you have to work
on every single day and it's
something that doesn't
get a day off."
"Yeah...I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around. I'm never in one place, I roam from town to town...and when I find myself falling for some girl I hop right on my car and I drive around the world...'cause I'm a wanderer, yeah I'm a wanderer, I roam around..."
"...that incremental suicide of turning your life into a dream, to make being awake as similar to sleep as possible. Drowsily, lazily, dry-mouth your way through the day's ceremonies, fumble your way back into the dew-bather you never really left, draped in brown, brown now all around, the haze!" - Russell Brand on drug addiction.
"Si ma êkh gûndo piyiamásko...ándo bírto barruno. Bírto, bírto barruno."
I wanna stay up late in your room at night,
Dont wanna watch my world grow old and die,
I wanna get drunk, leave my brain outside,
Dont wanna make friends with people i dont like
Tried to write a letter
To tell you how I feel
But all I kept on writing
Was slipping on the tears from the day
When I was young and brave
Now all these hotel lobbies are filled with what's to me
Lonely midnight drivers
Drifting out to sea
And all those late night lovers
Don't make things better to me
"Recovery is something that you have to work
on every single day and it's
something that doesn't
get a day off."
Will you stay awake for me?
I don't wanna miss anything
I don't wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I'll give you my heart on a string,
I just don't wanna miss anything.
I'm trying real hard not to shake. I'm biting my tongue,
but I'm feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I've won. You're my key to survival.
"Recovery is something that you have to work
on every single day and it's
something that doesn't
get a day off."
*resurrects thread* this used to be on the 1st page lots :0 For when you be feeling some lyrics & enjoying them but they don't be fitting in the 'Lyrics to how you're feeling right now' thread
Barbecue food is good
You invite me out to eat it, I should go
But I'm feeling kind of nervous and not quite myself
So I'm running late on purpose and I know this won't help
How things have become between us
But if I go, you'll give me hell
And that I don't know how to fix it is making me unwell, well
I arrive at your house but you've just got up
And you are wearing a towel and your eyes look dark
I help to dry your body and I see your cut
So I give you a plaster and we cover it up
I say, "Have you been crying?"
And you say, "Shut Up"
So we sit in the garden
And touch the grass with our hands
The sun is going down now and it's been okay
You tell me all the things you did while I was away
And this worries me somewhat
But you say you're fine
Listen, can you hear it?
Does it speak? Will I feel it?
Will it hurt? Am I near it?
I don't know
I don't know how more people haven't got mental health problems
Thinking is one of the most stressful things I've ever come across
And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy
I think I should read more books, learn some new words
My sister used to read the dictionary, I'm going to start with that
I'd like to travel, I want to see India and the pyramids
A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France
I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me, but I love swimming
I'm good at it and when I swim, I count the laps, and this helps me relax
When I was younger I saw a house burn down
And I walked past it for the next six years
Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous
I wondered if squatters lived there
I'm still not sure but I know
There were never any parties 'cause it was a shithole
After a while the council got 'round to tidying the town
They decided it was an eyesore and so they tore it down
Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crappy graffiti
And the word "****" written on it in giant letters
And now I walk past that
I like going to the park, I like walking through it
I like taking my dogs there and friends, and I like being alone
I like being able to shout, but I wish I could be quiet
When I'm quiet people just think I'm sad, and usually I am
Sometimes when I'm at a really noisy train station
One of the ones with the big, fat trains like Kings Cross
I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out
Because I've got something to say
Don't you want to share the guilt?
Don't think, just try and sleep
'What came first, the phoenix or the flame?'
'I think the answer is that a circle has no beginning'
^AH I LOVE THISSSSSS <3
Tis My favourite one of hers(though there is so much of it that for me would fit in The Other Lyrics Thread *goes to post there*)
You used to call me on my -
You used to, you used to,
Yeah...
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love,
Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
Ever since I left the city, you
Got a reputation for yourself now;
Everybody knows and I feel left out.
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
'Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more,
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor,
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before.
You used to call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love.
Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
Ever since I left the city, you, you, you...
You and me we just don't get along,
You make me feel like I did you wrong,
Going places where you don't belong,
Ever since I left the city, you...
You got exactly what you asked for;
Running out of pages in your passport,
Hanging with some girls I've never seen before.
You used to call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love,
Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
These days, all I do is
Wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else,
Wonder if you rolling up a backwoods for someone else,
Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else.
You don't need no one else...
You don't need nobody else, no.
Why you never alone?
Why you always touching road?
Used to always stay at home, be a good girl,
You was in the zone.
You should just be yourself;
Right now, you're someone else.
You used to call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love,
Call me on my cell phone,
Late night when you need my love.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
I know when that hotline bling,
That can only mean one thing.
Take to the sky, look back from high above
I am on target for something beyond
Take to the sky, grounded on mother earth
Thankful for strong wings to fly, I will take to the sky
your heart is a muscle the size of your fist
keep on loving, keep on fighting
and hold on, and hold on, hold on for your life
