Just wondering?

How many times did I let it slide by
when the boys got the pick of the best
I didn't know what to do
I couldn't pick up a clue
going home all alone in my bed
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady when I did
I got the best
She knew it all taught me everything but what I learned
best lesson was when she left...
I learned

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head
I got a wall going 'round my heart
I see my friend's go through trouble and when trouble's around
it always leads to a girl in the end
I didn't know it'd be this hard to find
Never knew it'd take this long
But if I'm gonna have to wait
I'm gonna wait
I'll probably die an old man alone

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend

When I see a pretty lady
walking down the street
My eyes get overtaken
my knees get weak
I can talk the talk
but I'm easily tempted
Resisting a good looking
woman
ain't so easy in the end

I need a woman just like I need a hole in my head
I got a wall going 'round my heart
I see my friend's go through trouble and when trouble's around
it always leads to a girl in the end
I didn't know it'd be this hard to find
Never knew it'd take this long
But if I'm gonna have to wait
I'm gonna wait
I'll probably die an old man alone...
I like that

Heartbreak's a blessing
But you don't know it then
It likes to mess your mind up
Heartbreak's your best friend

I decided I liked the line "Funny how their missus always looks the bleedin' same" from Cool For Cats by Squeeze the other day.

Just today's, but:

Protected From The Rain - Grandaddy

Hello, my name
Is on my shirt
Pocket

I’d rather not speak right now,
I’m remembering
Something

Most typically
My dreams are dread-
fully boring, therefore I come
To these places, just to see the
Girls

With hair like hers
With clothes like she wore
With smiles like hers
With handwriting like hers

You wrote me lit-
tle letters and
You brought me lunch
That time at my work
And that poem
You left on my
Windshield wrapped in plastic

To protect it from the rain
Protected from the rain

Protected from the rain.

"I hate purity, I hate goodness / I don't want virtue to exist anywhere / I want everyone corrupt"

I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself
I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything...

I have always liked
"When it feels like, when it feels like

Culture gets too much for me, I go , I go outside

Singing songs to alibis, singing songs to alibis,

Singing songs to alibi's,

A song is a beautiful lie, a song is a beautiful lie

A song is a beautiful lie, a song is a beautiful lie "

Self Healer by Idlewild

Well today's favorite (I'm fickle and change my favorites often) non-Kula lyric is...

I've got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I've got a cloak
It's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front
It's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a mouse
And he hasn't got a house
I don't know why
I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old
But he's a good mouse

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man
There a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They're on the dish

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a room full of musical tunes
Some rhyme
Some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and make them work

hefner - hello kitten
(wonder what this is about.)

hello kitten, no i don't miss sex
it's just the feeling of skin against skin that i want
the photos are taken, and the photos of life
they look dull, they look crap when placed in real life

you have a blue iris with a hint of burnt sienna
and it wrestles my hate to the ground
you have inquisitive eyebrows, they make me soft-centered
and your lips make a purring sound

i'm gonna make myself go blind tonight
i'm gonna build a shrine to the wasted days

hello kitten, you'll never know
what it's like to be me when i'm curled at your feet
i thought you were perfect but that racist joke
just made it all bittersweet

won't you slap me around and make my lips a bit swollen
so we can spend a day off work
won't you cut off my heart and lock it in a suitcase
cos love is coming in spurts
i'm so fucking happy it hurts

i'm gonna make myself go blind tonight
i'm gonna build a shrine to the wasted days
i'm going to, i'm going to, i'm going to...

Didn't realise there was a fellow Manics fan on here... you OF or FD?

Or do you just like the one song?

One of my fave non-Kula lyrics (just one line) is from a song from the worst album Yes ever made, but this line grabbed me (in a pseudo self-help book kind of way):

"Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time"

Funnily enough, love the lyric, but it's not influenced me much. Still sat on my fat sorry ass waiting for something to happen

Your hair will just continue to grow and grow. How're the kitties?
