RENT - "Seasons of Love"

525,600 minutes,
525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes,
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets,
In midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles,
In laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes,
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

525,600 minutes!
525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes,
How can you measure
The life of a woman or man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

It's time now to sing out,
Though the story never ends,
Let's celebrate!
Remember a year in the life of friends.

Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

I saw RENT a week and a half ago with Sam and Courtnay and wow. I am just amazed. I totally regret not seeing it back in May when the tour came through Vancouver though. But hey, that's gone and past. I'll just have to add it to the list of things I do when I'm in New York; New York being one of the placed I'd like to visit in my lifetime.

But anyway, check out the audio player. It's got quite a few of the songs from the movie. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Green Christmas

The streets are filled with christmas cheer
At least it’s only once a year
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows
And carols ringing in my ear
Bundled up against the cold
Lines wherever gifts are sold
Each shop window displays a christmas scene
For everybody young and old
Icicles on eavesdrops
And tinsel on the trees
But it’s a green christmas for me

Couples skating on the pond
Making angels on the lawn
Five red mittens drying on the rack
And needles shedding tannenbaums
Red bows on the railings
And snowflakes on the ground
But it’s a green christmas in this town

Green
Cause of everything I miss
All this mistletoe no kiss
And with every christmas wish
There would be no greater gift
Than to have this envy lift

Carolers are at my door
Don’t wanna hear them anymore
Stockings on the mantle
It snows here everyday
But it’s a green christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer
And tinsel on the tree
But it’s a green christmas for me

Meredith Brooks - "Bitch"

I hate the world today.
Your so good to me, I know, but I can't change.
Tried to tell you but you looked at me,
Like maybe I'm an angel underneath,
Innocent and sweet.

Yesterday I cried.
You must have been relieved to see the softer side.
I can understand how you'd be so confused.
I don't envy you,
I'm a little bit of everything,
All rolled into one.

So take me as I am.
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man.
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous,
And I'm going to extremes,
Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing.

Just when you think you got me figured out,
The season's already changing.
I think it's cool,
You do what you do and don't try to save me.

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover,
I'm a child, I'm a mother,
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint,
I do not feel ashamed.
I'm your hell, I'm your dream,
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way.

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease,
I'm a goddess on my knees,
When you're hurt, when you suffer,
I'm your angel undercover.
I've been numb, I'm revived,
Can't say I'm not alive,
You know I wouldn't want it any other way.

Yesterday, I listened to this song and wanted to yell at someone on bus.

Heal Me, I'm Heart Sick

Heal me, i'm heartsick
I'm hungry and i'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonite, tears i can't fight on my own
I'm a haunted, heaving, i'm hung and barely breathing
The drowning ocean, snuff the sun in motion.
Theres a pill on my tongue, a shot from a gun , the bottles bottom
I'm lonely as a star

So heal me, i'm heart sick
Hungry, but i can survive on you
Heal my heartsick hungry cries
I'm heartsick

Father, free me. mama , woman, feed me.
Child of fury, lost his way but don't worry.
I won't stop til the dawn,
Though i'm in too long on the run i grow strongad restless as a dog

So heal me, i'm heart sick
Hungry, but i can survive on you
Heal my heartsick hungry cries
I'm heartsick

Heal me
I'm heart sick
I'm hungry and i'm broken
I'm haunted, and weeping
The blood of heaven flowing like a river tonite
Tears i can't fight on my own

So heal me, i'm heart sick
Hungry, but i can survive on you
Heal my heartsick hungry cries
I'm heartsick

So heal me, i'm heart sick
Hungry, but i can survive on you
Heal my heartsick hungry cries


No Vacancy

Save Me

Sit around and lose myself again
Never thought I’d wait to realize
I can’t hold on to what you see
And I can’t move
When you’re down on your seat

Our mistake
Is all I remember
Tryin to hold on
To all of my ways

So save me
In my life
Just hold on
How could you realize
So save me
In my life
Just hold on
Tell to me your lies

Goodbye

Sit around and find myself again
Never thought I’d wait to justify
I can’t hold on to what you see
And I can’t move
When you’re down on your seat

So save me
In my life
Just hold on
How could you realize
So save me
In my life
Just hold on
Tell to me your lies

Goodbye
Goodbye
Yeah Mine

So save me
In my life
Just hold on
How could you realize
So save me
In my life
Just hold on
Tell to me your lies

Nude - "84"

Oh, I would love to know what happened,
All the love we shared erased,
And if we could, we could break it away,
And even if they could, no one could ever take it away.

Oh Oh, satisfaction on the floor,
She's the girl with the dance I adore,
Oh Oh, Attraction 84,
You don't know who you are anymore.

You were the one who said it's over,
So there is nothing left to say,
Which is good 'cause now I could break it away,
Come on and stay just for a day and we could make it okay.

Move your body to most weird beats,
Sell your body to freak show heat.

Yes Dear - "Pictures Of Your Bones"

Spots on the film that you held,
And your hands were shaking.
You were on your hands and your knees,
And your bones were breaking.
Everything reminds me of your face.

Sleep in a chair with a bowl,
Underneath to piss in.
Slow down the stairs to the van,
And you bones were missing.
Some things but not all can be replaced.

And I am left alone,
With pictures of your bones.
I guess all I ever do is make you cry.

Drops on the tongue for the dreams,
And the restless shaking.
Marks on the floor where you fell,
And your bones were breaking.
Everything reminds me of that day.

Quiet in the room where you lay,
And you stopped your breathing.
Words on the phone and the holes,
And the sinking feeling.
Some things are just gone once they escape.

And I am left alone,
With pictures of your bones.
I guess all I ever do is make you cry.
And I am so afraid,
You're spinning in your grave,
Because all I ever do is make you cry.

And when you're adding up,
The things I put you through,
Just keep in mind:
This is not happening to you.

And I am left alone,
With pictures of your bones.
I guess all I ever do is make you cry.
And I am so afraid,
You're spinning in your grave,
Because all I ever do is make you cry.

Those that wait on the Lord will renew their strength
Run and not get weary, walk and not faint
Woo!!

Maybe Katie

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?

What's the use in hesitating?
Can't you see that Katie's waiting?
Just because her youth is fading
Doesn't mean that she's not worth dating

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?

I don't know what the fuss is all about
Just take it slow
It's not like you can't live without her
To and fro
If you've got a shred of doubt then it's not worth it

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?

Can't you see her with her arms wide open
She's everything that you've been hoping for
Forever's not so long, stop moping
She's got a daughter and you're just not coping.

Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for life
I don't know them anymore
I know their names
I'd recognize them on the street and I don't love them

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?

Wake Up Dead Man

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free
Your father, He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven
Will you put in a word in for me

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out of time

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, were you just around the corner
Did You think to try and warn her
Or are you working on something new
If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Cake - "The Guitar Man"

Who draws the crowd? Who plays so loud?
Baby, it's the guitar man.
Who's gonna steal the show?
You know, baby, it's the guitar man.

He can make you love, he can make you cry.
He will bring you down, he will get you high.
Something keeps him going, miles and miles away,
To find another place to play.

And night after night, who treats you right?
Baby, it's the guitar man.
Who's on the radio?
You know, baby, it's the guitar man.

When he comes to town and you see his face,
And you think you might like to take his place.
Something keeps him drifting, miles and miles away,
Searching for the songs to play.

Then you listen to the music,
And you'd like to sing along.
And you want to get the meaning,
Out of each and every song.
And you find yourself a message,
And some words to call your own and take 'em home.

He can make you love, he can get you high.
He will bring you down, he will make you cry.
Something keeps him moving, but no one seems to know,
What it is that makes him go.

Then the lights begin to flicker,
And the sound is getting dim.
The voice begins to falter,
And the crowds are getting thin.
But he never seems to notice,
He's just got to find another place to play.

The Postal Service - "Such Great Heights"

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles,
In our eyes are mirror images and when,
We kiss they're perfectly aligned.
And I have to speculate that God himself,
Did make us into corresponding shapes like,
Puzzle pieces from the clay.
And true, it may seem like a stretch,
But its thoughts like this that catch my troubled,
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death.
When you are out there on the road for,
Several weeks of shows and when you scan,
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home.

They will see us waving from such great heights,
"Come down now," they'll say.
But everything looks perfect from far away,
"Come down now," but we'll stay.

I tried my best to leave this all on your,
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded,
Thin upon listening.
And that frankly will not fly.
You will hear the shrillest highs,
And lowest lows with the windows down,
When this is guiding you home.

I was listening to this as I was walking home from the bus stop today. The rain just made this song so much better.

Fix You

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above and down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face

And I whoo owoo wo..aa a a a aaa

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
