DPP: It's All In The Lyrics

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

It's Monday, which means the start of my first time ever doing DPP!

I thought I'd ease in with something light.

LYRICS

Yes we have songs that remind us of Pilots, but why? What are words that grab our gut and tug at out heart?

Things like:

Tell me, if we sleep together
Would it make it any better?
If we sleep together
Would you be my friend forever?
"La Familia", Mirah


We love in secret names
We hide within our veins
The things that keep us bound to one another
"The Secret's In The Telling", Dashboard Confessional


You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
"Written in the Stars", Elton John


So unsure of who I'm supposed to be
The one who takes the noble path
Or the one who wants what he can never have
"Hardly A Hero", Levi Kreis


So go nuts and post lyrics (just try not to quote whole songs)!

Aw yay! This is fun. Are we guessing songs too? I'm so bad at remembering lyrics, but I'm trying not to cheat and use the internets to figure it out.

ETA: okay here's one that I always think of in connection with NuCap but it just occurred to me that it could work for the (dreaded) table as well...

So here we are tonight
You and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see what's on my mind
You've got me wild
Turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
Up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
Just for an evening

I wasn't planning on a "guess the song". I'm watching a sick baby and just forgot.

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

No worries. I kind of bumbled along and guessed songs anyway (b/c I'm wonderfully obnoxious like that. *g*) Aww. Poor baby. And poor you!

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

The little guy is only six weeks old, but he's handling it like a trooper. Just wants to hang out on my shoulder (which leaves me typing one-handed).

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Awww! And I completely understand about the one-hand typing bit. Sometimes that's all you can manage. ;)

[rachelmack.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

Awww yay, i know this one!!! INXS-- Never Tear Us Apart


Epic song selection. Epic I say. And in the same vein, might I offer another selection from the same album:

So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind

[rachelmack.livejournal.com]

Need You Tonight!

(Never Tear Us Apart could make a good pilots video: I mean -

I told you
That we could fly
Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why)

[workerbee73.livejournal.com]

I knooooooow! I was just thinking about that line too....

[onlyariana.livejournal.com]

<3 That would make an awesome video. This song always makes me feel things. Add in pilots and it'd do it even more.

[rachelmack.livejournal.com]

Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart
{Pilots eyefrakking in the ready room}

I was standing
You were there
(Opening the door in Daybreak)

The video MAKES ITSELF, except for the part where it doesn't.

These are lyrics I associate very much with Lee. :)


1.
Every kind of love--or at least my kind of love--
has been imaginary love to start with.
Guess that's can explain the rain waiting, walking game
Schubert bust my brain to start with.


2.
If she is electric,
Can I be electric too?


3. (this one is very post-poof)
I'll just hold on to nothing--
see how long nothing lasts...

There's one road to the morning
There's one road to the truth
There's one road back to civilization
But there's no road back to you


4.
All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know
That you told me just to tell me later that you told me so
Come flooding back to me now

Come on,
Come flooding back to me now.

All the things you said you'd never say and you said anyway
The things we did and didn't do
The things we did and didn't do
Come flooding back to me now


5. (probably my favorite 'Lee' song ever)
I wrote a three page note
So I could ask you why you live your life
(disregard the pretense that you made).
Come alive, come alive, watch the city go by.
Turn me up, turn me up, turn me up, turn me up, turn me up

Ah, how wonderful you are!
Ah, how wonderful you are!....

Understate.
You were great,
Summering out on the cape.
I said last night how I feel about you,
But you wouldn't recall no,
You don't recall anything do you?

Ah, how wonderful you are!
Ah, how wonderful you are!

I wrote a three page note

My black eye casts no shadow
Your red eye sees nothing
Your slap don't stick
Your kicks don't hit
So we remain the same
Love sticks
Sweat drips
Break the lock if it don't fit

A kick to the teeth is good for some
A kiss with a fist is better then none

[n-e-star.livejournal.com]

Oh! And how could I forget...

We’ve got secrets between us that
Nobody else would believe if we told them
So let the stars align
And let the water make wine ’cause
Broken souls will become whole tonight
"Alien Like You", The Pigott Brothers

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed.
Gets a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.


... both, maybe Kara a little more

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break, every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play, every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Lee Lee Lee!!!

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

both

[onlyariana.livejournal.com]

OMG. Your icon is so wonderful!!! It's funny 'cause it's true.

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

:) thank you!

[zenzero42.livejournal.com]

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Lee

Pilots have always suited the instrumental more than the yrical kind of music, in my head, but here's my go at it:

Ohh, can't anybody see
We've got a war to fight
Never found our way
Regardless of what they say
How can it feel, this wrong
From this moment
How can it feel, this wrong
Storm...in the morning light
I feel
No more can I say
Frozen to myself
I got nobody on my side
And surely that ain't right
And surely that ain't right

I am dating myself, but...

The Beloved, Time After Time


i'm much too headstrong for my own good
i'm too involved to realize
that your uncertainty will be the death of me
but i lose my will and if looks could kill,
i've been struck down dead by your beautiful eyes

time after time you challenge me for a reason
i know that i'm impossible and deceiving
i'v seen the signs,
you're telling me that you're leaving
time after time...
time after time...

these games of politics and romance,
they're quite impossible to win
i can't unfathom you;
one minute you love me or you say you do
and then i turn my back, i'm under attack,
i turn to hold you and you stick the knife in
