This song's been in my head on and off for weeks:
Pogues again...
I dreamt we were standing
By the banks of the thames
Where the cold grey waters ripple
In the misty morning light
Held a match to your cigarette
Watched the smoke curl in the mist
Your eyes, blue as the ocean between us
Smiling at me
I awoke alone and lonely
In a faraway place
The sun fell cold upon my face
The cracks in the ceiling spelt hell
Turned to the wall
Pulled the sheets around my head
Tried to sleep, and dream my way
Back to you again
Count the days
Slowly passing by
Step on a plane
And fly away
Ill see you then
As the dawnbirds sing
On a cold and misty morning
By the albert bridge

Yeah, Bottle of Smoke is a quick'n too. From reading through the lyrics, I noticed I'm singing a couple lines wrong. Oops. Guess I didn't spend long enough with the lyric sheet on that one.
Here's more fun with the Pogues, and a song that I didn't know the verses at all for years:
Streams of Whiskey - The Pogues
Last night as I slept
I dreamt I met with Behan
I shook him by the hand and we passed the time of day
When questioned on his views
On the crux of lifes philosophies
He had but these few clear and simple words to say
I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
I have cursed, bled and sworn
Jumped bail and landed up in jail
Life has often tried to stretch me
But the rope always was slack
And now that I've a pile
I'll go down to the Chelsea
I'll walk in on my feet
But I'll leave there on my back
Because I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Oh the words that he spoke
Seemed the wisest of philosophies
There's nothing ever gained
By a wet thing called a tear
When the world is too dark
And I need the light inside of me
I'll walk into a bar
And drink fifteen pints of beer
I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
I am going, I am going
Any which way the wind may be blowing
I am going, I am going
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing
Where streams of whiskey are flowing

Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

Mirror Mirror
Diane Birch
I'm chasing the rainbows end
I'm fighting the weatherman
No sun through my window and no
No love from my uncle Sam
Why do you hide?
Why don't you look me in the eye?
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's lying?
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's crying?
I don't know, I don't know
Driving the long, long road to you
No it ain't easy
The wheels are turning round and round
But I'm at the beginning
You know I try
But I can't hold my head up high
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's lying?
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's crying?
I don't know, oh I don't know
'Cause baby I ain't gettin' wiser
Tryin' to find that old road to yesterday
Don't you know I'm only getting' older?
Watchin' every moment blowin' like a feather in the wind
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's lying?
Mirror, mirror, is it me or you that's crying?
I don't know, oh I don't know, I don't know
Oh no, I don't know, oh no, no, no I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, no I don't know
No I don't know
The Chain
Ingrid Michaelson
The sky looks pissed.
The wind talks back.
My bones are shifting in my skin, and you my love are gone.
My room seems wrong.
The bed won't fit.
I can not seem to operate, and you my love are gone.
So glide away and so be healed and promise not to promise anymore and if you come around again then i will take, then i will take the chain from off the door.
I'll never say, I'll never love
but I dont say a lot of things, and you my love are gone.
So glide away and so be healed and promise not to promise anymore and if you come around again then i will take, then i will take the chain from off the door.

~I was born to rock the boat. Some will sink but we will float. Grab your coat. Let's get out of here. You're my witness. I'm your Mutineer~ - Warren Zevon
I'm the king of rock, there is none higher
Sucker MC's should call me sire
To burn my kingdom, you must use fire
I won't stop rockin' till I retire
Now we rock the party and come correct
All cuts are on time and rhymes connect
Got the right to vote and will elect
And other rappers can't stand us, but give us respect
They called us ill, we're gettin iller,
There's no one chiller
It's not Michael Jackson and this is not "Thriller"
I'm one def rapper, I know I can hang
I'm Run from Run-DMC, like Kool from Kool and the Gang
Roll to the rock, rock to the roll
DMC stands for devestating mic control
You can't touch me with a ten foot pole
And I even made the devil sell me his soul
Now we crash through walls, cut through floors
Bust through ceilings and knock down doors
And when we're on the tape, we're fresh out the box
You can hear our sound for blocks and blocks
For every living person we're a verbal treat
It's me and DMC, Jay where's the beat?
Now we're the baddest of the bad, the coolest of the cool
I'm DMC, I rock and roll, I'm DJ Run, I rock and rule
It's not a Trick or Treat and it's not a April Fool
It's all brand new, never ever old school
You've got the music in your body and you can't comprehend
When your mind won't wiggle and your knees won't bend
Music ain't nothin but a people's jam
It's DJ Run, DMC rockin without a band
Now I walked on ice and never fell
I spend my time in a plush hotel
I stood on many stages, held many mics
Take airplane flights, at huge heights
So all you sucker MC's, you gotta say please
Cause when he jumps high, I'm pulling down weeds
Got a song so strong, it's knocking down trees
Is it hard to believe it's Run-DMC
I am from, around the way
And Run goes to school, every day
And Jay plays the records he has to play
And we get down with no delay, HEY!
I rock the party with the words I speak
And Run says the rhymes that are unique
And Jay cuts the records every day of the week
And we are the crew that can never be beat
So don't try to diss me, try to be my friend
Cause if you do, you'll get yours in the end
The rhymes we say, shall set a trend
Because a devestating rap is what we send
Every jam we play, we break two needles
There's three of us but we're not the Beatles
My name is Darryl, you can call him D
You can call me Darryl Mack, or you can call him DMC
People always ask, "DMC, what does it mean?"
D's for never dirty, MC for mostly clean
Like we said before, we rock hardcore
I'm DJ Run, I can scratch. I'm DMC, I can draw
And now we got the knack, to attract
Our rhyme's an aphrodisiac
We'll reign on your brain and rock your knot
When it comes to rock, give it all we got
To be MC's, we got what it takes
Let the poppers pop and the breakers break
We're cool cool cats, it's like that
That's the way it is, so stay the hell back
We're causin' hard times, for sucker MC's
Cause they don't make no songs like these
PERIOD!

Tunng - Hands
He stands with his head in his hands
In the corridor in A&E
He couldn't resucitate her
And now he'll go home to his wife for tea
We sing as the sky falls down
We sing as the sky collapses
And make what we can of this
It's okay, we're all going to end up dead and gone
He crawls into her aorta
To pull him out of his reverie
And mentally puts her back together
With sticks and glue until she breathes
He crawls like a rat inside her spine
It's a passage to another world
He pulls on a coat of new born skin
And sends a secret message to that girl
Positions himself in space
And looks down on such slight a thing
Swears he'll make what he can of this
Because one day out there we will all be dead
So leave your imprint upon
All the atoms you press against
All the people you press against
Because one day out there we will all be
Leave your imprint upon
Every mouth that you press against
Every word that you press against
It's okay because one day we will be dead
All the Lidl lights

Monkey and Bunny - The Residents
Once there was a little man
Who ran a shoe shine stand
Everyday the man would sweep
Clutter from the busy street
He seldom said a word
That anybody heard
There was something in his face
Loneliness could not erase
Like a broken pup
He looked up from the cup
He drank his morning coffee
And wiped the dribbles from his chin
And when his eyes met mine,
He made a little whine
He came within an inch or two
And then he whispered "I hate you"
"How did he know?"
Once I had some pets
And let them starve to death
It was a funny little monkey
And a big...big white Easter Bunny
They lived in little cages
And sometimes in rages
I would turn them upside down
And drag the monkey all around
Once there was a little man
Who ran a shoe shine stand

Clutter from the busy street

And drag the monkey all around
Life is a waste of time
Time is a waste of life
So get wasted all of the time
And you'll have the time of your life

Tom Waits, "Goin' Out West"
Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall
'Cause Tony Franciosa
Used to date my ma
They got some money out there
They're giving it away
I'm gonna do what I want
Do what I want
And I'm gonna get paid
Little brown sausages
Lying in the sand
I ain't no extra baby
I'm a leading man
Well my parole officer
Will be proud of me
With my Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
My Olds 88
And the devil on a leash
Well I know karate, voodoo too
I'm gonna make myself available to you
I don't need no make up
I got real scars
I got hair on my chest
I look good without a shirt
Well I don't lose my composure
In a high speed chase
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face
I got some dragstrip courage
I can really drive a bed
I'm gonna change my name
To Hannibal or maybe
Just Rex
Change my name to Hannibal
Or maybe just Rex
I'm gonna drive all night
Take some speed
I'm gonna wait for the sun
To shine down on me
I cut a hole in my roof
In the shape of a heart
And I'm goin' out west
Where they'll appreciate me
Goin' out west
Goin' out west
Well I'm goin' out west
Where the wind blows tall

I can't listen to it now...even reading the lyrics is too hard...
I'll do everything I can to make you proud to be my man
And Ill fulfill all you fantasies
I guess were promising a lot, but for now its all weve got
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years
Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side well be together always
And if you'll hold me tight when you love me
Thats all I'll ask of you
And I'll stand by you thru our rockin years
I'll be your friend, I'll be your lover
Until the end, there'll be no other
'cause my heart has only room for one
Yes, I'll always love you, and I'll always be here for you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years
Rockin' chairs, rockin' babies, rock-a-bye, rock of ages
Side by side, we'll be together always
And, yes, I'll always love you and I'll always be here for you
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years, and I'll be here
And I'll stand by you through our rockin' years
I thought you were a ripe grape
a cabernet sauvignon
a bottle in the cellar
the kind you keep for a really long time

Lyrics for anyone who's in love (or dreaming of being in love)
The Lightning Seeds - Pure
night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows
perhaps someone you know, could sparkle and shine
as daydreams slide to colour from shadow
picture the moonglow, that dazzles my eyes
and i love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
dreams of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons
where feelings not reasons, can make you decide
as leaves pour down, splash autumn on gardens
as colder nights harden, their moonlit delights
and i love you
just lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
if love's the truth then look no lies <-- I like this verse!
and let me swim around your eyes
i've found a place i'll never leave
shut my mouth and just believe
love is the truth i realize
not a stream of pretty lies
to use us up and waste our time
lying smiling in the dark
shooting stars around your heart
dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple everytime
now you're crying in your sleep
i wish you'd never learnt to weep
don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple everytime
look at me with starry eyes
push me up to starry skies
there's stardust in my head
pure and simple everytime
fresh and deep as oceans new
shiver at the sight of you
i'll sing a softer tune
pure and simple over you
pure and simple just for you

Happy with what you have to be happy with - King Crimson
And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing -
Through a distortion box
To make them menacing
Yeah, then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face
And for a second verse
Of terse economy
I'll brew another pot
Of ambiguity
Then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

As dumb as the lyrics to this song are, I love them. GOD, I love this song, for some stupid reason.
Catnip Dream - Shonen Knife
He is a cat but he's very very fat
He is not just a standard cat
He is a cat but he's still very fat
American calico cat
Catnip is a kitty cat drug
One puff two puffs - high in a dream
Funny kitty's got very sleepy eyes
I wonder what he's dreaming of
Catnip dream catnip dream catnip dream
Meow meow meow

He gets his kicks from a tiny toy
A green frog filled with catnip
And pretty soon he's gonna be seventeen
Kitty cat birthday party
Catnip is a kitty cat drug
We plant catnip seeds together
All summer long he watches it growing
Dreaming of the harvest moon

He knows the coolest place in the yard
He is the king of the neighborhood

More Than Friends
Edie Brickell
Bet you don't know you stole my heart away
Bet you can't tell that I'm under your spell
Haven't a clue what you do to me
That I long to be more than friends
Long to be more than a friend
Innocently you came to me one day
You didn't mean to make me feel this way
Ever since then its been so hard for me
I long to be more than friends
Long to be more than a friend
I'm waiting for you to give me a sign
Been waiting here a long lonely time
You've always been a good friend of mine
And when you're near I watch you and I wonder
If you can hear my heart beat like thunder
And when you go clouds roll over me
I long to be more than friends
Long to be more than a friend

Here's a disturbing little ditty from Tom Waits:
Smuggler's Waltz
Daggers of moonlight
Murder the sheets
in the stink of a four dollar room
And Daddy's gone a-hunting
for a dimebag of schoolboy
Tied up with a yellow balloon
So hush little baby
daddy must go
I'll cover you up with a blanket of snow
By the time I make Jersey
you'll be in heaven
In a pretty blue shoe box, I know
So sing a song of ten grand
with a pocket full of dough
And I can't take you to Baltimore
Wake God up in heaven
Have him look down below
There's a little lost angel
blooming in the snow
----------------
And you can hear it here.

sometimes we need those type of songs to help pick us back up again.
this song always works for me, Cag.
HOUSE WITH NO DOOR van der graff generator
There's a house with no door, I'm living there
At nights it gets cold and the days are hard to bare inside
There's a house with no roof, so the rain creeps in
Falling through my head as I try to think out time
I don't know you, you say you know me
That may be so there's so much that I am unsure of
You call my name but it sounds unreal
I forget how I feel my body's rejecting the cure
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside
There's a house with no sound yes it's quiet there
There's not much point in words if there's no one to share in time
I've learned my lines, I know them so well
I'm ready to tell whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night
It doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running
Won't somebody help me
There's a house with no door there's no one living there
One day it became a wall well I didn't really care at the time
There's a house with no light all the windows are sealed
Overtaxed and strained now nothing is revealed but time
I don't know you, you say you know me
That may be so there's so much that I am unsure of
You call my name but it sounds unreal
I forget how I feel my body's rejecting the cure
Won't somebody help me
you can look at the pictures here

The Ocean Doesn't Want Me - Tom Waits
The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangels will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out
All of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
I'll go in up to here
It can't possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today
But I'll be back tomorrow to play
And the strangels will take me
Down deep in their brine
The mischievous braingels
Down into the endless blue wine
I'll open my head and let out
All of my time
I'd love to go drowning
And to stay and to stay
But the ocean doesn't want me today
I'll go in up to here
It can't possibly hurt
All they will find is my beer
And my shirt
A rip tide is raging
And the life guard is away
But the ocean doesn't want me today
The ocean doesn't want me today

If, by The Flaming Lips
People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide
But they don't always decide
We live on the impulses
Love is powerful
But not as powerful as evil
People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide, they decide
People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide

Love is powerful
But not as powerful as evil

In a similar vein
Nick Cave - People Ain't No Good
People just ain't no good
I think that's well understood
You can see it everywhere you look
People just ain't no good
We were married under cherry trees
Under blossom we made our vows
All the blossoms come sailing down
Through the streets and through the playgrounds
The sun would stream on the sheets
Awoken by the morning bird
We'd buy the Sunday newspapers
And never read a single word
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
Seasons came, seasons went
The winter stripped the blossoms bare
A different tree now lines the streets
Shaking its fists in the air
The winter slammed us like a fist
The windows rattling in the gales
To which she drew the curtains
Made out of her wedding veils
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all
To our love send a dozen white lilies
To our love send a coffin of wood
To our love let all the pink-eyed pigeons coo
That people they just ain't no good
To our love send back all the letters
To our love a valentine of blood
To our love let all the jilted lovers cry
That people they just ain't no good
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They can comfort you, some even try
They nurse you when you're ill of health
They bury you when you go and die
It ain't that in their hearts they're bad
They'd stick by you if they could
But that's just bullshit
People just ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good
People they ain't no good at all

Jen Foster - CLOSER TO NOWHERE
Do you know who you are?
Do you ever think about it?
If you were told it’s a place
Would you drive until you found it?
Or would you turn down a street
That you know would lead to where you were before?
You call it home, but are you really sure
That’s your home?
Do you know what you want?
Have you ever reconsidered
What a trip we are on
And it’s the only ride we’re given?
If you could fly, would you try?
Would your feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
Can you explain why the only place you go
Is to waste?
Now you go to work and you work all day
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
You tell some jokes to kill that time
Til the boss comes back and at the stroke of 5
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
You drown in all your long lost dreams
Oh no, you’re closer to nowhere
Do you know who you love?
Can you say those words with feeling?
Or when you look in those eyes
Is there someone else you’re seeing?
Do you dream of a day
You could take the love without running away?
What is it now? Do you need a little space?
Or are you wanting out?
Now you go to work and you work all day
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
You grab that phone, rehearse those lines
Then you call home sayin’ you gotta work tonight
You hit those bars, you buy some drinks
For the first one who looks good and thinks you’re cool
You’re closer to nowhere...
You fake it so well
Nobody can tell
You buy what they sell
You’re going places....
Now you go to work and you work all day
You smoke and bitch on your coffee break
You share your plans and you swear you’ll quit
Maybe next year or the year after it
You hit those bars, you have some drinks
You take those pills, you go to sleep
You wake up someday all alone
You realize another year is gone
You’re closer to nowhere
And all these signs will be your guides
But you must pay attention
And all the lights that line the sides
Are beautiful, don’t miss them...
You’re closer to nowhere...
Do you know who you are?

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?
