I met up with the king
He confessed his body was burning
I met up with the king
His body had begun to rot
And he said don't think less of me
I'm still the same man I used to be

But no one believed him
No one believed him

Blue morning
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity Kitten
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window
He doesn't have to know
We can talk a while baby
We can take it nice and slow

All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream

Well are you happy where you're sleeping
Does he keep you safe and warm
Does he tell you when you're sorry
Does he tell you when you're wrong?
Well, I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started
I've been wondering where we've gone

All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream

Well I dreamt I saw you walkin'
Up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky
As you stood there counting crows
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for girls and four for boys
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told

Well there's a bird that nests inside you
Sleeping underneath your skin
When you open up your wings to speak I wish you'd let me in.

All your life is such a shame
All your love is just a dream
Open up your eyes
You can see the flames of your wasted life
You should be ashamed


And you don't want to waste your life baby
You don't wanna waste your life now darlin'
You don't wanna waste your life baby
You don't wanna waste your life now darlin'
And you don't wanna waste your life now baby,
I said you don't wanna waste your life now darlin'
You don't wanna waste your life now baby
You don't wanna
You don't wanna waste your life now darlin'

Change

I said I will walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine,
I am feathered by the moonlight fallin' down on me,

I said I will walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine,
I am feathered by the moonlight

Change

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
~Gotye -Somebody that I used to know

I like this lyric because it reminds me of all the times my boyfriend would talk to me like crap and start fights and he always made me feel like it was my fault but in reality he was trying to cheat on me with a 17 yr old and trying to place all the blame on me, so if you've ever been in a bad relationship it makes you feel like you can relate to that lyric

ohhh, this whole time I thought she was saying "I want to catch you hung up...." but that doesn't make as much sense. :)

"I've never stopped trying, I've never stopped feeling like family is much more than blood"
"I've never wanted anybody more than I've wanted you, the only thing I ever really loved was hate"
"I'm just the type to catch you slippin like a bar of soap
I'll catch you while you're sleeping fast and then I'll slit your throat
I'll watch you bleed and gargle choking for your last breath
Then close the wound, apply some pressure to delay your death
See what it means? Your whole existance don't mean sh*t to me
It's just time to kill to make you history"
"Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said"

Yeah but his bird said it's amazing, though
So all that's left,
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf.

~ Fake Tales Of San Francisco - Arctic Monkeys


It'll never leave you alone
One way to go, nowhere to turn
It's so deceiving, pulls you in
Into the space within

80 of us
Shady brothers
Ladies love us
That's why our baby mothers
Love us but they hate each other
They probably wanna take each other out
And date each other
Some-, something, something, something
Something, something, something, something

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry.
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

But there's no way home, nowhere I belong.

So many faces fade away,
And then life goes on."

Like a hummingbird in flight, you are
Hovering, hovering around me
As I move near, you fly away
Don't fly away, don't fly away

I raise my hands to heaven of curiosity
I don't know what to ask for
What has it got for me?
The others say we're hiding
It's as forward as can be
Some things I do for money
Some things I do for free

There was a time that I was not afraid,
Today is the day we send this wind away.

Why won't the air clear up our problems?
It picks its way through our bodies.
No hope, no faith, just the same old mistakes,
that hollow out my body, hollow out my dreams of you.
No hope, no faith, do you really understand how far we've made it?
The clouds come rolling in.
No hope, no faith, the sun goes down below,
No hope, no faith, and here comes the shadow.

Your teardrops cannot change the wind
Your hands can't see the waves
The things I say can I not rescind?
Is every word a vow?
Why won't this house provide me rain?
And why can't this deafness hear me complain?
And why wasn't I told that love is pain till now?

And I try to stave off your anger with feathers
And I try to sleep but the days bleed together
With a needle and thread I would hold back the weather
But the tide's coming in
And my courage was never brave enough
And my hunger never gave enough
And my abandonment never saved enough to start again

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

in the morning on the train
you sit and stare out at the rain
or bury yourself in your books
don't look at no strangers
no, don't give them any looks

why you ask yourself, why you're so afraid
why you hesitate when someone asks your name
they'll come too close if you tell them the truth
who's to say they want something from you?

I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?
