---a question about the lyrics thread

[rosieposy87]

In her TRL performance yesterday it sounded like 'I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust'...

Yeah, definitely wrote.

[kaysha]

if you turn on cc while watching the video, it says "I lied, wrote my injuries..."

I need to get a rip of the performance. I'd rather transcribe what she does live solo than what she does on the cd.

Who's To Say


Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright
When you're around to tell us slow down,
We're too young you need to grow
The speed's the key
And they don't know who we are

And who's to say that we're not good enough?
And who's to say that this is not our love?

Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found

And who's to say we won't burn it out?
And who's to say we wont sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we wont fade to grey?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me, you never really knew us
You never really knew

You and I, packin' up my room, we feel alright
But we're not well comsumed
We'll be drivin', 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together?
Who's to say we arn't getting stronger?
Who's to say I can't live without you?
Who are they anyway? Anyway they don't know

And you say we're too young, but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend, but I just feel it when we're together
Who is to say?
And who is to say?
And who are they anyway?

Stand up boy, I shine so bright when you're around

Annie


Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county ICU
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up to the moment and I hope that I don't blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl wispers in my ear

Tell me now can you feel it?
I've been keeping company with ghosts
She comes to me like a peice of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
Well summer dies and its just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the lonelyness brings me to tears
Well summer dies and it's just moments we have together
And I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie

Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much and I am wreckless
Just this once would you forgive this

And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, no

Years for you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
Watch her as she slips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you

edit: Updated, AGAIN

Private Radio


Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Gotta get a little
Gotta get a little

All the world has gone to bed
And I am drowning in it's silence
But a solitude is in my head, from you, baby

And if the silence was a song
Well, its rhythm grooves and it's a private radio
And on this night I did belong
In harmony

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

I'm finally out of my pillow
'Cause I'm lyin' here, but I am ready good to go
On a whim, I'll leave this town
Or not, I'll stay and chase the sun now

And you can't deny me
And you will oblige me
It's my melody

When the night comes
And no one knows
I can feel it
I've got my private radio

Catch me, not care
Call me later
Mornings risin'

All the world has gone to bed
And there's a sound inside my head
And in the dark inside my bed
And the melody it's in my head

(When the night comes)
There's a part of me no one will ever know
(And no one knows)
And midnight comes and I know I'm on my own
(I can feel it)
There's a part of me no one will ever see
(I've got my private radio)
There's a part of me no one will ever leave be
(My private radio)
My private radio
My private radio

San Francisco

I, I know what you did
Like a boy of summer gives his first kiss
love is dancing on my finger
we got to the heart of the matter and lingered
now I'm walking with the living
I always liked steinbeck and those old men whispering(?)

we're back, we're back in San Francisco
we're back and you tell me i'm home

talking in the Mission over coffee
this is my utopia
then I'll be your lady
as the ocean rises, the sun is fading

we're back, we're back in san francisco
we're back, we're back in san francisco
we're back, we're back in san fran

and now I feel the ever after
over red wine [can't tell] summer
the buzz, the buzz of the city
as we settle in it's majesty
I, I know what you did
like a boy of summer gives his first kiss

we're back, we're back in San Francisco
we're back and you tell me I'm home

you tell me I am home
you tell me I am home
you tell me I am home
back in San Francisco

and I know what you did in San Francisco
I know what you did in San Francisco
San Francisco

Winter



Half a week before the winter
The chill bites before it comes
And I'm a child of the pleasure
Daddy brings before he runs

He sits behind a desk of mahoginy
He wispers dreams into my ear
And though I've givin him his empire
He delivers me my fear

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
I turn to look and burn my eyes
I carry on, I carry all the weight of empty promise
As I stand swallowed by the light
Flickering above the highway
I hold my head and know the streets are mine tonight

The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on

The unicorns are riding high
Powerful in coats of white
We turn to look and burn our eyes
I carry on, I carry
The vampires are growing tired
The coats of white all turn to red
My heart burns with desire
I carry on, I carry on
I carry on
I carry on
We carry on

Annie


Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county I see you
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
I try and live up til the moment and I hope that I don't blow it
And what is it in me that she hears?
It's just a song she likes
Her little arms around my neck
And a dying girl wispers in my ear

Tell me now can you feel it?
I've been keeping company with those
She comes to me like a peice of summer
She comes to me on the days when I need it most

Well summer dies and nothing lasts forever
And you're so fine, the way you stand up to your fears
The summer dies and its just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and me, oh Annie
More than life than trying to survive, oh Annie

My boyfriend took pictures of me as I held you
I travel alone and the lonelyness brings me to tears
The summer dies and it's just moments we have together
I'd give my bones for you to get a few more years
For you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie

Stronger than the hands that hold you
You sing along to the song on the radio
If I drank too much when I am with this
Just this once would you forgive this

And hold on, the days gone by
Tell me now can you feel it?
I can't keep this all to myself
She's eligant and she means it, no

Years for you and I, oh Annie
More to life than trying to survive, oh Annie
Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
Watch her as she sips away from you
I'll keep fingers crossed always for you

Watch her as she flew deep within the blue
The day out from the county I see you
There's nothing you can do
Someone gently says to you
The doctor says that now it won't be long
