Fight Fire with Fire / Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell

Wild is the night that keeps me from you
I'm tearing my hair out with things that you do
Strong is my love and strong the desire
For working my way back to you
If our love is true
If our love is warm
As soft as the pillow that keeps you from harm
You got me by the crook of my arm
First in a round left to you
We had a fight
Neither would chose
You can't button up then go blow a fuse
But if you win that means I lose
And I am inclined like you, to

Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire
Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire

Where are you now ?
Can't find my way home
Streets are too cold when you walk them alone
Without your love I sink like a stone
For love is what's pulling us through
I know I never do what I'm told
Minds in the gutter
My heart's holy gold
When they made you they busted the mold
Flames holding back think they knew you

Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire
Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire

When I see grey, I know you see black
I dig the Stones you dig Sheer Heart Attack
I say dirty deeds you say back and black
Or maybe hysteria too

Hush about love
You're breaking my heart
There is no answer with goals after part
Wipe the slate clean
Go back to the start
Is that what you think we must do, you?

Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire
Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire
Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire
Fight fire with fire
More fire, more fire

"Living In Twilight" - The Weepies

"Living In Twilight"

You look darkly on the day
With memories to light your way
A little sad but it's all right
We are always living in twilight

No one knocks upon your door
Until you don't care anymore
A little alone but it's all right
We are always living in twilight

Living in a dream, walking in between the sunrise and sunset
Living in a dream, walking in between sunset and sunrise

You get tied up in your day, so I let go and walk away
And now we're loose ends of the night
We are always living in twilight

So it goes, though no one knows you like they used to do
Have a drink the sky is sinking toward a deeper blue
And you're still all right
Step out into twilight

So I stumble home at night
Like I've stumbled through my life
With ghosts and visions in my sight
We are always living in twilight

Oct 30 2010

Balloons on tables tied with plastic strong
But the best olive feta pizza that you eat two now
Save two for breakfast

Still, Wondering, about the state of "things"
wanting to banish one letter with
one (two three four) moment(s)
Suspended in time now it seemed

Trying not to blame me (you) for trying
Feeling that misery again
Every time I think I didn't imagine
Something never felt before
And I want to let go

watch the balloons get popped
and guiltily tossed
With the lights brightly shone on
drunks swept out with the trash
of Tim Horton's cups and broken glass

Carrying two pieces in a box in the snow outside 'home'
Soaking in the cold moon and breathing out
Waiting to subside that which breaks me down,
hollows me out, to sing myself to sleep,
feeling it all to sink in again, too deep,
Cursing fates
for things that can't be tossed
And keep me here, frozen, silent, messed, lost.

You and Me - Lifehouse


What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Only in the Past

by The Be Good Tanyas



Run away to the seashore it doesn't matter anymore
Doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away with the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall

Chorus:
I dreamed that I saw you you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past

My palms are not open they're closed they're closed
My palms are not open they're closed they're closed

(Chorus)

Colours streak the sky we laugh and we cry
And we dance in the cool grass with the
fireflies
And we dance in the cool grass sunset birds
Sweet sweet music swallow our words
You set sail and you left this town
Run away, run away, you're so far from me now
So far from me now

(Chorus)

(Fade out)
