steven lynch:quality.


I came down to the breakfast table
Felt like I could cry
I tried so hard but wasnt able
To look you in the eye

For I am feeling so much shame
Yes I have brought disgrace
Can tell I soiled my good name
By the look upon your face

Well it seems last night
That'chu caught me spankin
And no use denying it
Well I was really crankin
It wasn't my fault
And it wouldnt be so bad
If you could just forgive me
And talk to me dad

[Talk to me dad]

No I didn't hear you enter
No I didn't hear the door
With my hand apon my mamoran
My pants up on the floor
Now burnt into your brain
Is an image you dispise
My blood and guts and starvin kids
And Stevie Wonder's eyes

Well it seems last night
That'chu caught me spankin
And no use denying it
I was really crankin it
Well dry your eyes
Don't be so sad
But I wouldnt use those tissues
They've already been had

[Talk to me dad]





Yea the look upon your face
Made my swollen glademinish
So I said could you close the door
I really want to finnish
Now daddy Im ashamed
And I completly understand
If you never want to hug again
Or even shake my hand

Well it seems last night
That'chu caught me spankin
And no use denying it
Well I was really crankin it
Well please calm down
And don't get mad
Now just because it was your bed
It's not that bad

[It's not that bad]

[Not that bad]

[Talk to me dad] WOO

When I was only 17
You told me it was dirty
So it must be really creepy when
Your kid is pushing 30
But you cannot tell me dad
You've never had a wack
At the thing that hangs below your belt
And bunks into your sack

Well it seems last night
That'chu caught me spankin
And no use denying it
Well I was really crankin
Now dry your eyes
And dont be sad
But I wouldnt use those tissues
They've already been
Now just because it was your bed
It's not that
Rascils in wesstorshimine at o'9
Ocean Township on Friday

[Oh yeah]

Nine Inch Nails-Hand that feeds

For me, probably a toss between:

I predict a Riot - The Kaiser Chiefs

In the Crossfire - Starsailor

Executive Steve

calibre and d:bridge - "hot flush" - exit vs recordings

it sounds like the back of your girlfriends neck smells when you curl up to her at night.... gorgeous tune!!!!

KT Tunstall - Other Side of the World
Kaiser Chiefs - Every Day I Love You Less and Less

Repli

Has to be Franz Ferdinand - Michael

I'm inclined to side with the OP on this one. Nice and progressive. No instrument is overused. Well constructed and rounded.

I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan around. Chris' voice nearly bottoms out at "stuck in reverrr....errrrrse" and I don't think he's a very talented singer, but song-wise, Fix You is up there, as the OP said, for many many reasons.

Mentioned a few weeks ago in a similar thread..

.. Death Cab For Cutie "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"

Truly fantastic song but with some of my favourite lyrics in a long time:

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

John Mayer

I agree with you, Death Cab's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" is a great song. I like The Killers' Somebody told me... and John Mayer's Daughters, although I think that may have came out in 2004.

Nimrod's Son

I'll go with Rebellion (Lies) by The Arcade Fire or Superman by the Stereophonics.

I think Green Day's Wake Me Up When September Ends was quite a good song but that may have been because two of my relatives died in the month
