Thanks to them, I am re-discovering Andrew Gold’s Never Let Her Slip Away.
Methinks I shall browse through old cassette tapes and see which songs are worth downloading.
Okay, Coconut man, Moon Heads and Pea

Seems like everybody’s got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the sale comes first,
And the truth comes second,

[Jessie J -Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Oo-oooh
Forget about the price tag.
I am in love with this song now. I thank my cousin for having introduced it to me while in line for immigration in Malaysia (would you believe the only thing we did there was eat lunch and store-hop a bit?) :D
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies (x2)
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one
Two of us
Who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than this
If you wanna play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let’s play
‘Cause I’d rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies (x2)
Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four!)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one
Two of us
Who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than this now
Rock and roll, baby
Don’t you know that we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
Give me something to sing about
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one
Two of us
Who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than
No, oh
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one
Two of us
Who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than
More than this
Dedicated to a friend who could absolutely relate to these lyrics, even if she might not be too fond of the song.
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long? (ha!)
I want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
I want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of fucking meth again
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
I owned up, I’ve grown up, do you remember me?
I showed up and so what if I’m the used to be
I’m here to tell you that I’m sorry I was sorry
But I’m happy that you’re happy
This is no longer about me
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
Let him be you through your beautiful cries
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
Live your life just like a dream
Without the pain of goodbyes
Goodbye!
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
Unlock the back of my trunk
You see, you take this bat
And bash my head into the street again
No-ones around so I keep beating it
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye
There’s a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
It’s the guilt of what reality has given me
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
And when you’re sick you seem to think
You’ve failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
When you’re sick of faking life in this recovery
When my decision paved the road
That lies in front of me
So to my friends that even call but I don’t call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I’m really sick of saying sorry but I will
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
But are we scared to take the ride?
Or dare to look inside?
I’m floating far away (far away)
I’m floating far away (leaving home)
I’m floating far away (so far away)
I’m floating far away
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect
I want to tell the world I’ll give them all a piggyback
And try to take away my negative effect
I want to kiss a (girl) and know I’ll never lie again
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care
I want to let my brother know
He saved my life a thousand times
Throughout the years he’s been my friend
Who’s always there
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
There you are with your perfect way
You’ve got this little shine in your eyes
To hear one word would make my day
But there’s no room for me in your life
Ohhhh
You’ve got me down on my knees
Ohhhh
And in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try
[Chorus]
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
‘Cause I need you now
I try to move on but your perfect way
Has got a little child asking why
But this world keeps spinning
As my heart stops beating
Is there still no room inside
Ohhhh
You’ve got me down on my knees
Ohhhh
And in my mind I can see
How perfect everything could be
But you won’t give us a try
[Chorus]
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
‘Cause I need you now
If I could change your mind
(Please tell me I’m not the only one)
(Please help me believe I’m not the only one)
If I could change your mind
[Chorus]
But if I could change your mind
How would you want me
Would you say you need me
‘Cause I need you now
[Chorus]
And if I could change your mind
How would you hold me
Would you stay forever
Or just leave me here to drown
And if I could change your mind
(Change your mind)
If I could change your mind
I won’t stop hoping you do, and trying to become a better person just for you.
I found the cure to growing older
And you’re the only place that feels like home
Just so you know, you’ll never know
And some secrets weren’t meant to be told
But I found the cure to growing older
I’m the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
And I am sorry my conscience called in sick again
And I’ve got arrogance down to a science
Oh, and I’m the first kid to write of hearts, lies, and friends
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can’t cover it up
Can’t cover it up
Find a safe place, brace yourself, bite your lips
I’m sending your fingernails and empty bottles you’ve sipped
Back to your family cause I know you will be missed
So you can find a safe place, brace yourself
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we’ve become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I’ve got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can’t cover it up
Can’t cover it up
(Nooooo)
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Feeling borrowed
Always blue
Someone old
No one new
Always borrowed
Always you
I found a cure to growing older
I found a cure to growing older
[Chorus: x2]
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it’s
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can’t cover it up
Can’t cover it up
The perfect description of how I feel at the moment, now that I’m about to graduate from this school.
I wanna take you with me
to life with no more yesterdays
we can start again awake and so excited
and change the way we always push
we always push
I’ll open up and be your parachute
and I’ll never let you down
so open up and be my human angel
and we’ll only hit the ground
running
and when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size
and makes you feel like giving in
oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away
and I will chase away the way we push
the way we pull
you’re beautiful
I’ll open up and be your parachute
and I’ll never let you down
so open up and be my human angel
and we’ll only hit the ground
running
and if it feels like we might drop
it will stop
so don’t look down
it wouldn’t be the same without you
this life is too good to give up on
I’ll open up and be your parachute
and I’ll never let you down
so open up and be my human angel
and we’ll only hit the ground
and we’re gonna hit the ground
running
Such a beautiful song this is.
The dust has finally settled down
The sun is shining on these pieces that are scattered all around
This house was everything we knew
Its where we kept our love and
every single memory of me and you
Every letter, every note, every dress you never wore under your coat
Thrown away
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
If we hold onto each other, we’ll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we will get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.
The sky has made it back to blue,
everything that’s left is telling us the worst of it is through.
Home has never felt so right, there’s nothing in the way.
There’s nothing in between us
knowing where we’re going is inside.
Every letter that I wrote,
every dress you never wore under your coat
Thrown away
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor
If we hold on to each other,
we’ll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we’ll get back to yesterday.
When I made your body shiver
and when you took my breath away.
All the pictures that we’ve taken
and the songs that we have played
They have all kept track and
followed back the love that we have made.
Now they’re spread out on the
surface where we can try to congregate
It’s not too late to believe that we can get it all again
Brick by brick, we can build it from the floor,
If we hold onto each other,
we’ll be better than before.
And brick by brick,
we’ll get back to yesterday
When I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.
Brick by brick
We’ll get back to yesterday,
when I made your body shiver and
when you took my breath away,
you took my breath away.
Long were the nights
When the days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps,
Prayin’ the floor won’t fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky and go back
And turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wonderin which version of you
I might get on the phone, tonight,
Well I stopped pickin’ up
And this song is to let you know why
Dear John,
I see it all now that you’re gone.
Don’t you think I was too young
To be messed with
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I shoulda known.
Well maybe it’s me
And my blind optimism to blame
Maybe its you and your sick need
To give love then take it away
And you’ll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don’t understand
And I’ll look back in regret
How I ignored when they said
Run as fast as you can
Dear John,
I see all it now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young
To be messed with
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
Dear John,
I see it all now it was wrong
Don’t you think nineteen’s too young
To be played by your dark twisted games
When I loved you so
I shoulda known
You are an expert at sorry
And keeping lines blurry
And never impressed by me
Acing your tests
All the girls that you run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes
Cuz you burned them out
But I took your matches
Before fire could catch me
So don’t look now
I’m shining like fireworks
Over your sad empty town
Oh woah oh
Dear John,
I see all it now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young
To be messed with the girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I see all it now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young
To be messed with
The girl in the dress
Wrote you a song
You should’ve known
You shoulda known
Don’t you think I was too young
You shoulda known.
Easy come, easy go
That’s just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all,
But you never give
Should of known you was trouble from the first kiss,
Why were they open?
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked,
Cause what you don’t understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won’t do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue beat me till I’m numb
Tell the devil I said “hey” when you get back to where you’re from
Mad woman, bad woman,
That’s just what you are, yeah,
You’ll smile in my face then rip the breaks out my car
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
Cause what you don’t understand is
I’d catch a grenade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won’t do the same
If my body was on fire, ooh
You’ d watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me you’re a liar
Cause you never, ever, ever did baby…
But darling I’ll still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I’d jump in front of a train for ya (yeah, yeah , yeah)
You know I’d do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh
I would go through all this pain,
Take a bullet straight through my brain,
Yes, I would die for ya baby;
But you won’t do the same.
No, you won’t do the same,
You wouldn’t do the same,
Ooh, you’ll never do the same,
No, no, no, no
I just happen to comprehend this song a little too much. Unrelated to my present life, though. :)
