"She said, 'You're not so ugly, you can kiss me if you like.
--Go ahead and kiss me; you don't know what you're missing!'"

-Belle & Sebastian ("White Collar Boy")

I can't get this out of my head this morning.
But there are worse things.

"See I really like you
But I’m nothing like you
I try oh so hard
But don’t get so far
You get my respect
But we don’t connect
Were in it together
So I’ll love you forever
I love you forever"

"Overwhelmed as one would be
Placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and read you all
The details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical"
-- Tool - Rosetta Stoned

"When I was a kid I saw a light
Floating high above the trees one night
Thought it was an alien
Turned out to be just God"

"Between the champagne hand jobs and the kissing ass by everyone involved
Cocaine rich comes quick and that's why the small dicks have it all"

Also add this from the same song.

Isn't that from 'White Collar Boy'?

the lyrics to "Love Comes to Me", the first song off Will Oldham's "The Letting Go".

Whatever the hell they are.

On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared
And I began to talk to myself almost immediately
Not being used to being the only person there

The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it
But I drank it all just cause you hate it when I let things go to waste
And I wandered through the house like a little boy lost in the fall
And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space

And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?

On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I was cold so I put on a sweater and I turned up the heat
And the walls began to close in and I felt so sad and freightened
I practically ran from the living room and into the street

And the wind began to blow and the trees began to pant
And the world in its cold way started coming alive
And I stood there like a buisness man waiting for the train
And I got ready for the future to arrive

And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?

I've been listening to David Bazan's Fewer Moving Parts a lot lately, so all of mine are from that release...

Red and yellow black and white are precious in his sight
But who he roots for in a fight
That's how I remember

-- "That's How I Remember"

It's faster to buy cigarettes and some cold beer
If you don't rattle the cashier
By asking her back to your room

-- "Cold Beer and Cigarettes"

Calling all fratboys to trade in their hazing
Their keggers and cocaine and casual date raping
For cabinet appointments and rose garden tapings

-- "Backwoods Nation"

She loves the singer, every song can bring her close to tears
but when she talks about his band it just confirms her mother's fears
a little crush on the singer but in her heart she knows it's true
everything is different when he's singing right to you

her mother says honest, it's alright to be a singer
but don't you love a singer whatever you do

let the crowd press on the stage
and let the lights wash out their eyes
sixteen years ago I was completely mesmerized
and then the night was done and the singer disappeared behind the stage
and the roadies came and picked me from on the barricade

Honest, it's alright to be a singer
but don't you love a singer whatever you do, whatever you do


Long Winters song "honest" from the album "Putting the Days to Bed"

Sucking on what's left of your trust fund?
Sucking on the end of a shot gun?"

I've been really digging All Fires by Swan Lake, and the lyric:
500 pieces means 500 float, 1,000 people means 500 don't.

The refrain line: "All Fires have to burn alive, to live" isn't bad either.

Kinda like this one by Grandaddy:

I don't wanna work all night and day
On writing songs that make the young girls cry
Or playing little solos on the keyboard
So the kids will ask me how and why

I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna elevate myself

I thought about this for a long time
Never had the chance to try and make it better
My heart is waiting for a new you
And there's no other option on the schedule
