“Every single night i endure the flight
Of little whims of white flame
Butterflies in my brain
These ideas of mine percolate the mind
Trickle down the spine
Swarm the belly swelling to a blaze
Thats where the pain comes in
Like a second skeleton”

Lyrics of the Day: Miike Snow
“The first strike of the hammer
Made my heart beat faster
The rat-tat to remind me
That there was something behind me
You can hear them
You can hear them banging on the tin
But my love won’t be saved
We’ll all be staring at the wave”
Lyrics of the Day: The Band
“Mama I know we broke the rules
Was somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know
I’d die for you
Ashes of laughter
The ghost is clear
Why do the best things always disappear?
Like Ophelia
Please darken my door”
Lyrics of the Day: Wolfmother
“I see this small town boy now
From a small town family
He’s got to find his way now
Gotta find himself a woman
With the skill of the people
He don’t wanna be no whipping boy
Well, the time has come now
Gotta hit the highway”
Lyrics of the Day: Dirty Beaches
“I walk along these streets
Until I have you in my arms
Now that you’re gone
In my heart so wild and blue
And if I had the chance
I’d never let you go
And, doll, if you haven’t called back
I’m begging you please”
Lyrics of the Day: Moonface
“There was a forest, on fire, inside her
There was no reason to give to the poor
And if you think the road is dangerous
Then of course it is
You gotta listen for the cautionary roar
I headed for the door…”
Lyrics of the Day: Red Nightfall
“Reunited in black and grey
An interlude without pain
Save for those in love
Who always seem to meet again
A taunt a tease wholly incomplete
An embrace of immense brevity”
Lyrics of the Day: Rage Against the Machine
“Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I’ll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin’ with the fury that they had in ’66
And like E-Double I’m mad”
Lyrics of the Day: Chairlift
“On the docks of the fishing boats
Of semi-precious stone
Recent light
Fresh with vacant envy
Failing all alone
Frigid spring
Of the wishy-washy wishing well of home”
Lyrics of the Day: Spiritualized
“Hey Jane, where you’re going today?
You lit a fire then you find the game
They say you got a troubled soul
I say you got it on the road
Said you ain’t got time to change your ways
Ain’t got time to make no mistakes, with you
Show ‘em what you can do”
Lyrics of the Day: Whistle Peak
“It’d be strange if my wings won’t behave
All the things I’d have to say
If I don’t remember the things that I had always known
And if I can’t hold my ends together
Could I forget my shape?”
