Matchbox Twenty – Mad Season

April 2nd, 2006

How i’m feeling right at this minute….

—–

I feel stupid – but I know it won’t last for long
I’ve been guessing – I coulda been guessin’ wrong
You don’t know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down

I feel stupid but it’s something that comes and goes
I’ve been changin’ – think it’s funny how now one knows
We don’t talk about – the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now
It seems to me – you’d come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out – I’m lost and I’m hopeless
Bleeding and broken – though I’ve never spoken
I come undone – in this mad season

I feel stupid – but I think I been catchin’ on
I feel ugly – but I know I still turn you on
You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out
You need to be together now – I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out – I’m lost and I’m hopeless
Bleeding and broken – though I’ve never spoken
I come undone – in this mad season

Now I’m cryin’ – isn’t that what you want
I’m tryin’ to live my life on my own
But I won’t
At times – I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid
And I came undone
And I came undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out – I’m lost and I’m hopeless
Bleeding and broken – though I’ve never spoken

I need you now
Do you think you can cope
You figured me out – I’m a child and I’m hopeless
Bleeding and broken – though I’ve never spoken
I come undone – in this mad season

In this mad season
There’s been a mad season
Been a mad season

Shapeshifters – Back to Basics

October 30th, 2005

ed: Now let me just say that for anybody out there who may want to see me in serious amounts of pain (yes, I know there are a few of you!) then you’re absolutely going to *love* this song.

This chirpy little number is the intro. track for my BodyPump, aka Torture class. I won’t begin to tell you how much of a sham the brochure is about how wonderful this class is.

I’ve said it already. It’s a sham. A sham where I sweat and hurt and sweat some more for 60 minutes of the most hardcore workout i’ve ever put my body through.

Enjoy…..

p.s – Just to make you feel *even* better, as soon as this song starts playing I start to ache. uhhuh. Hurts….
p.p.s – If you’re thinking about going, *DO IT* … *best* class ever. I look like a homeboy in my jeans because of the weight i’ve lost off my legs. (plus the 6 centimetres off my waist and firming of my ass!)

Shapeshifters
Back to basics

Oh, so long together,
forgot how you made me feel,
tired of each other,
we drifted further afield,
but there was nothing out there for me,
I realised you’re all i needed

now that i got you caught
i don’t know what i did before,
you’ve made my life so special,
everything that I had before you,
give it to me with much more,
that’s why I can never let you go,
no…..

Bring it back, to basics,
You and I..i..i will make it right,
Take it back, erase it,
You and I will make it right,
Bring it back, to basics,
You and I..i..i will make it right,
Let’s get back, to basics,
back to basics,

Couldn’t remember,
just what made me fall for you,
searching for others,
they make me feel all blue,
but everytime i felt that feeling,
I knew it wasn’t what i needed,

First i nearly got you caught,
I felt better than i felt before,
you’ve made my life so special,
everything that i could want you,
give it to me every part,
that’s why I’d never let you go,
no….

[Chorus]
Bring it back, to basics,
You and I..i..i will make it right,
Take it back, erase it,
You and I will make it right,
Bring it back, to basics,
You and I..i..i will make it right,
Let’s get back, to basics,
back to basics,

Split Enz – I Got You

December 10th, 2004

ed: There’s something about this song.. I just can’t put my finger on it…
ed2: Fuck me…. Neil Finn was a member of Split Enz…. probably why I like it so much… *mental-fucking-headslap*….. (for those that don’t know i’m a huge Crowded House fan…. apparently :P )

—————

I got you – that’s all I want
I won’t forget – that’s a whole lot
I don’t go out – not now that you’re in
Sometimes we shout – but that’s no problem

I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lyin’

Look at you – you’re a pageant
You’re everything – that I’ve imagined
Somethings wrong – I feel uneasy
You show me – tell me you’re not teasin’

I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I’m not lyin’
I don’t know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you’re not lyin’

Kenny Loggins – Playing With The Boys

December 9th, 2004

This is one of those songs that you can’t help but remember…. Top Gun…. :)

Big thanks to the person who knows this movie far too well and got me into listening to it on a regular basis :)

———

I’d say it was the right time
To walk away
When dreaming takes you nowhere
It’s time to play
Bodies working overtime
Your money don’t matter
The clock keeps ticking
When someone’s on your mind

I’m moving in slow motion
Feels so good
It’s a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knocking on wood
Bodies working overtime
Man against man
And all that ever matters
Is baby who’s ahead in the game
Funny but it’s always the same

(Chorus)
Playing, playing with the boys
Playing, playing with the boys
After chasing sunsets
One of life’s simple joys
Is playing with the boys

Said it was the wrong thing
For me to do
I said it’s just a boys’ game
Girls play too
My heart is working overtime
In this kind of game
Someone gets hurt
I’m afraid that someone is me
If you want to find me, I’ll be
Playing with the boys

I don’t want to be the moth around your fire
I don’t want to be obsessed by your desire
I’m ready, I’m leaving
I’ve seen enough
I’ve got to go
You play too rough

Elton John – Candle In The Wind

December 8th, 2004

Can we all tell that music is playing 18 hours of my day at this stage? When i’m in a stage of reflection I find a certain peace in music, and a lot of that is older music I remember as a child.

Elton Johns’ song ‘Candle in the wind’ has sold more singles than any other track in history. This is in no small part due to the lovely Princess Diana’s passing. After hearing her name dragged through the mud last night (again!) I was drawn to listen to this beautiful track.

Lyrics posted below are for the original.

—————-

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

Goodbye Norma Jean
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

DJ Sammy – Heaven

December 6th, 2004

Oh, thinkin’ about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothing can take you away from me
We’ve been down that road before
That’s over now
You keep me comin’ back for more

[Chorus]

Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lying here in my arms
I’m finding it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And lovin’ is all that I need
And I’m finally there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see,
We’re in heaven
We’re in heaven

Now nothing can change what you mean to me
There’s a lot that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

[Chorus]

Baby you’re all that I want
When you’re lying here in my arms
I’m finding it hard to believe
We’re in heaven
And lovin’ is all that I need
And I’m finally there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see,
We’re in heaven

Now our dreams are comin’ true
Through the good times and the bad
I’ll be standing there by you

We’re in heaven

And your loving is all that I need
When I’m finally there in your heart
It isn’t too hard to see
We’re in heaven
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

We’re in Heaven.

Matchbox Twenty – Rest Stop

December 2nd, 2004

[I had a whole rant up here, but in the name of discretion i'm going to keep it to myself. You never know who might be visiting your page and keeping tabs on you :) ]

———–

[Matchbox Twenty - Rest Stop]

Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the breaks
She said I tried to be but I’m not
And could you please collect your things
I don’t wanna be cold
I don’t wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more
Than what’s happening with you
If you’d – open up the door

She said – while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you’re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought – hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening – can you hear me
Have you forgotten

Just three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth’s too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken down man – and as I opened up the door

She said – while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you’re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought – hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening – can you hear me
Have you forgotten

She said – while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you’re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought – hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening – can you hear me

While you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you’re dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn’t care
So I thought – hell if it’s over
I had better end it quick
Or I could lose all my nerve
Are you listening – can you hear me
