Spiff Things

Lee and I have a varied taste in music.
Here are some of our favorite lyrics.
Some of them may be funny, sarcastic, meaningful or just really amusing... it's up to you special people to figure it out.

Enjoy.

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Oh yeah, we meet again
It's like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All I can do to try and breathe
Let me breathe so that I
So we can go together!

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin's cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It's in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Life is like a shooting star
It don't matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it's just a waste of time
We are lost 'til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
and all these wars are over
over
over
singin' la da da, da da da
over
come to me
singin' la da da da, da da da
come to me

Creed
What's This Life For

Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for
I see your soul, it's kind of gray
I see your heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for
But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king

Creed
Higher

When dreaming I'm guided through another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate

So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

Pretenders
I'll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes come on and come to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry let me see you through.
cause I've seen the dark side, too.
When the night falls on you you don't know what to do.
Nothing you confess could make me love you less.
Chorus:
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
So, if you're mad, get mad;
don't hold it all inside.
Come on and talk to me now.
and hey, what do ya got to hide?
I get angry, too.
Well, I'm a lot like you.
You're standing at the CrossRoads
Don't know which paths to choose
Let me come along
Cause even if you're wrong
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take me in until your darkest hour.
and I'll never desert you,
I'll stand by you.
And when--when the night falls on you baby,
you're feeling all alone,
walking on your own,
I'll stand by you .
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you.
Take me in until your darkest hour.
and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.
I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you.

Chorus

Fiona Apple
Across The Universe
((Originally by John Lennon))

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
jai guru de va.

Tom Petty
Free Fallin'

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a free-way runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
All the vampires walking through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for awhile

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'

Jeff Buckley
Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go:
you gave me more to live for,
more than you'll ever know.
This is our last embrace,
must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all.
Kiss me, please,
Kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation You know,
it makes me so angry 'cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye.
Did you say "no, this can't happen to me,"
and did you rush to the phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
saying, "maybe... you didn't know him at all."
Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Of her sighs that, "it's over... it's over..."

Reel Big Fish
She Has A Girlfriend Now

I never thought it would end like this just because
I've got no tits,
I'll shave my legs,
I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my penis off for you...
(Aww, how sweet!)
She has a girlfriend now.

Less Than Jake
All My Best Friends Are Metalheads

Did you ever take the time to really discover
how little we know about each other?
This all becomes one more chance to,
keep us from saying anything
and separate from everything.

Reel Big Fish
Alternative Girl

Well, I see you up on stage and
I don't know just
What you're saying' but you're my hero...
and a guy just kicked me in my head,
a little girl
just passed out dead, I'm in between a big jock
and a sweaty skinhead but Ilove you
whatever that means...but I don't wanna talk
to you, cause I know I'd just say something
stupid and I know you've got better things to do.

Less Than Jake
Big Crash

Sometimes I think something's wrong with me because I was never one to believe in anyone or anything and I don't want to say i'll ever change because things always change.

You're my girl
I'm your man,
I don't care if you live in a garbage can.

Offspring
The Meaning of Life

I gotta go and find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
sorry man for feeling
feeling the way I do...
open wide and they'll shove in
their meaning of life

I know your path has been tried and so
it may seem like the way to go
me, I'd rather be found
trying something new
and the bottom line
in all of this seems to say
there's no right and wrong way
sorry if I don't feel like
living the way you do

Offspring
Amazed

Sometimes I think I'm gonna drown
cause everyone around's so hollow.

Offspring
All I Want

How many times is it gonna take
'till someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried beeing cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
now it's their turn to try
So back off your rules
back off your jive
'cause i'm sick of not living
to stay alive.

Alanis Morrisette
All I Really Want

And I have no concept of time other than it is flying...

Hanson
I Will Come to You

We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
and you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand

Jewel
I'm Sensitive

I was thinking that I might fly today,
Just to disprove all the things that you say.
It doesn't take a talent to be mean.
Your words can crush things that are unseen.
(Chorus)
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected, and be a girl.
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
(Chorus)
And I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food.
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'll give it to everybody who has some faith, though.
(Chorus)
I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have.
But, maybe if we are surrounded in beauty,
Someday we will become what we see.
'Cause anyone can start a conflict;
It's harder yet to disregard it.
I'd rather see the world from another angle.
(Chorus)
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way.

Jewel
Near You Always

Please don't say I love you.
Those words touch me much too deeply.
And they make my core tremble.
Don't think you realize the effect you have over me.
And please don't look at me like that.
(Chorus)
It just makes me want to make you near me always.
Please don't kiss me so sweet,
It makes me crave a thousand kisses to follow.
And please don't touch me like that,
Makes every other embrace seem pale and shallow.
And please don't come so close.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
And please don't bring me flowers,
They only whisper the sweet things you'd say.
And don't try to understand me.
Your hands already know too much anyway.
(Chorus)
And when you look into my eyes,
Please know my heart is in your hands.
It's nothing that I understand.
But when in your arms,
You have complete power over me
So be gentle if you please, 'cause
(Coda)
Your hands are in my hair, but
My heart is in your teeth
Baby, and it makes me want to make you near me always.
(Coda)
Want to be near you always.
Want to be near you always.
Want to be near you always.

Jewel
Morning Song

Let the phone ring.
Let's go back to sleep.
Let the world spin outside our door,
You're the only one that I wanna see.
Tell your boss you're sick,
Hurry, get back in, I'm getting cold.
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy,
It's you they love to hold.
And stop thinking about what your sister said.
And stop worry'n about it,
Yes, the cat's already been fed.
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed.
(Chorus)
Put the phone machine on hold.
Leave the dishes in the sink.
Do not answer the door.
It's you that I adore, (for you I'll be a poor man's wife)
I'm gonna give you some more.

We'll sit on the front porch,
The sun can warm my feet.
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream,
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea.
Pretend we're perfect strangers
And that we never met.
My, you remind me of a man I used to sleep with,
That's a face I'd never forget.
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin,
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end.
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed.
(Chorus)
