the tide that left and never came back

im sick

from the city


it burns
in my side

the

ships



that are leaving

shine

so bright


in the night time



and though my memorys fading

its still you that i find



if only you could stay,

and

not leave me behind

[the veils]











the veils

i love



they played in auckland last night




i forgot.
until it was too late.




this song.
the tide that left and never came back.

is what made me love the veils.



its actually just so beautiful.



potentially fitting also in some way.

goodbye

please


come over,



can i talk to you again?


when you're sober


i

think

of how it could have been.




you
say
your


unhappy

and you call me all the time.


when im feeling lonely



i think og how you could have been mine.....



you tell me that you love me.


and you tell me once again.




im so sorry.



im not in love with you.



and


ive never been.


[artisan guns]










oh so fitting.



i dont wanna say goodbye.











but

i would rather say goodbye,

than not say anything at all.




so.....



i guess this is
goodbye?

dont let it bring you down

dont

let it bring you down




its only

castles


burning




just

find some one whos turning



and you


will
come around

[neil young]






a friend of mine

(who has been on my mind alot quite recently)


once sent me part of these lyrics,


when i felt like i couldnt do anything.



needless to say,
this cheered me up.




and now everytime i hear this song....

it reminds me

of my friend.

neopolitan dreams

you'll go

and i'll be ok.




i can dream the rest away.






its just a little touch of fate


it will be ok.....


[lisa mitchell]












because you will go
and i will be ok

for i can dream the rest away

don't tell me to do the math(s)

tonight

we're gonna smash this place up


and then

we're gonna deck it out

with fairy lights




till



we



are

birds

birds can fly
so high

and

they can shit on your head

and

they can almost fly into your eye

and

make you feel well scared.



but when you look at them




and you see that they're beautiful










that's how I feel about you


[kate nash]















this is the song i have had in my head all day

it truely is lovely.
and puts a smile on my face.


i hope it puts a smile on yours too....


this is...

a place
different to my usual blog

where
i will post

snippets of
my favourite lyrics of the


day...


week...


month...


or every so often...



but definately more often than not,


as there are so many 'delightfully wonderous' lyrics around.







who will be first?
oh, just you wait and see
