Friday afternoon lyrics

[PaulB]

Now the weekend's upon us, let's see what you're listening to.

This is currently my fave rave.

YOUR HEART IS A MESS. OH YOUR HEAD IS A MESS. OH YOUR HOUSE IS A MESS, AND IT'S ALWAYS A MESS. OH YOU'RE ALWAYS LIKE THIS. OH YOU'RE ALWAYS A MESS NOW, NOW.

I'LL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT THIS IS A BRIGHT BUT HAUNTED AGE.
I JUST DON'T KNOW NOW, NOW. I JUST CAN'T SAY, HEY, HEY.
WHEN YOU GET DOWN, DOWN TO THE HEART AND THE BONES OF IT, THAT'S WHEN IT BREAKS YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHEN IT FALLS APART.
OH, BUT THAT'S THE PRICE NOW.
OH CAVEAT EMPTOR. OPEN THE ATOM'S CORE.
OH BUT THAT'S THE PRIZE NOW.
OH CAVEAT EMPTOR. OPEN THE ATOM'S
CORE. OH CAVEAT EMPTOR. OPEN THE ATOM'S CORE.
OH, OH I JUST DON'T GET IT.
AND YOU KEEP SLIPPING DOWN THE SURFACE OF THINGS.
I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT NOW. I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE.
WHEN YOU GET DOWN, DOWN TO THE SUB-ATOMIC PART OF IT,
THAT'S WHEN IT BREAKS YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHEN IT FALLS APART.
OH CAVEAT EMPTOR. OPEN THE ATOM'S CORE.
OH, OH, I JUST DON'T GET IT, GET IT. GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT. OH I JUST DON'T GET IT. OH, OH, I JUST DON'T GET IT,
GET IT. GET IT, GET IT, GET IT, GET IT.
OH I JUST DON'T GET IT. C
HEER UP LAD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH
YOU? HEY LAD, LAD, LAD, LAD?

Atom. British Sea Power​

Purples Child in time

Sweet child in time youll see the line
The line thats drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If youve been bad, lord I bet you have
And youve been hit by flying lead
Youd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

 

[Landslide]

"...Like Sherlock Holmes bumming Watson, it's alimentary
He's the modern day menace of the nineteenth century

A gentleman thief, a scholar and a rogue
Doing the locomotion like Kylie Minogue..."

"The Maggot" - Goldie Lookin' Chain

 

[got-to-get-fit]

Throw those doors open wide ....one day like this a year will do me fine.

Elbow ...One day like this ...best album of last 5 years (seldom seen kid)

or

He's a what, he's a what....he's a newspaper man and he gets his ideas from a newspaper stand, from his boots to his pants, from his columns to his rants he knows that any little article will do.....
in my mind im counting butterflies, Hollow hearts and hollow minds.. thats fine
I see my palindrome in monochrome...........

Dear science...TV on the radio

 

[beancounter]

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldnt know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand

Chorus:
Are you reelin in the years
Stowin away the time
Are you gatherin up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin me youre a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time Ive known you
I still dont know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didnt turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I cant understand

Chorus

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things weve done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I cant understand

Chorus

 

[alecstilleyedye]

Aim for the body rare, you'll see it on tv
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini
She doesn't think so but she's dressed for the h-bomb
(for the h-bomb)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for the country fair you read it in the papers
The worst happens any week a scandal on the front page
See the happy pair smiling close like they are monkeys
They wouldn't think so but they're holding themselves down
(hold themselves down)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

Aim for politicians fair who'll treat your vote hope well
The last thing they'll ever do act in your interest
Look at the world through your polaroid glasses
Things'll look a whole lot better for the working classes
(working classes)

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

I found that essence rare, it's what I looked for
I knew I'd get what I asked for

 

[ChrisKH]

I would rather not go
Back to the old house
I would rather not go
Back to the old house
There's too many
Bad memories
Too many memories
There ...
There ...
There ...

When you cycled by
Here began all my dreams
The saddest thing
I've ever seen
And you never knew
How much I really liked you
Because I never
even told you
Oh, and I meant to

Are you still there ?
Or ... have you moved away ?
Or have you moved away ?
Oh ...

I would love to go
Back to the old house
But I never will
I never will ...
I never will ...
I never will ...

 

[Aperitif]

This is a regular runner through the fields of my mind....

Mares eat oats,
And does eat oats,
And little lambs eat ivy
A kid'll eat ivy, too,
Wouldn't you?

Better known "phonetic" version:

Mairzie doats,
An doazie doats,
An liddle amzie divy
A kiddly divy two,
Wooden tyu?

Alecetc you beat me to it! Had that on in the car all day today!

 

[Deleted member 1258]

AFTER ALL JACKS ARE IN THEIR BOXES
AND THE CLOWNS HAVE ALL GONE TO BED
YOU CAN HEAR HAPPINESS STAGGERING ON DOWN THE STREET
FOOTPRINTS DRESSED IN RED

AND THE WIND WHISPERS MARY

A BROOM IS DREARILY SWEEPING
UP THE BROKEN PIECES OF YESTERDAY'S LIFE
SOMEWHERE A QUEEN IS WEEPING
SOMEWHERE A KING HAS NO WIFE

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS THEY TURN A BLUE TOMORROW
AND SHINE THER EMPTINESS DOWN ON MY BED
THE TINY ISLAND SAGS DOWNSTREAM
CAUSE THE LIFE THAT THEY LIVED IS DEAD

AND THE WIND SCREAMS MARY

WILL THE WIND EVER REMEMBER
THE NAMES IT HAS BLOWN IN THE PAST
AND WITH ITS CRUTCH ITS OLD AGE AND ITS WISDOM
IT WHISPERS "NO, THIS WILL BE THE LAST"

AND THE WIND CRIES MARY

 

[Dave5N]

I'm just looking for a way to set the world on fire.

 

[Lardyboy]

Clarity just confuses me
The lines drawn on a map, a strange assembly
When there's northeners and theres southeners
And westenders in eastenders
And sunny days in January
Left spaces in my diary

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know that

Apathy only ruined me
Hanging around waiting for calamity
And by the year 4 million
Our skins will be vermilion
I own a dart board memory
so I forget every felony


But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know, that you know, we both know, what's going on

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

But the demons never need to read
What the I never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty

Coz I know, that you know, we both know, what's going on
