Nothing unusual, nothing strange…

19 Oct

Nothing unusual nothing strange
Close to nothing at all

The same old scenario the same old rain
and there’s no explosions here

Then something unusual something strange
comes from nothing at all

I saw a spaceship fly by your window
did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of Of O
Tell it like you still believe that the end of the century brings a change for you and me

Nothing unusual nothing’s changed
Just a little older that’s all

You know when you’ve found it there’s something I’ve learned
’cause you feel it when they take it away hey hey

Then something unusual something strange
comes from nothing at all

But I’m not a miracle and you’re not a saint
just another soldier on a road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of O
tell it like you still believe that the end of the century
brings a change for you and me

Amie come sit on my wall and read me the story of o
tell it like you still believe that the end of the century
brings a change for you and me

“Faithful” (Jennifer Knapp)

1 Oct

All the chisels I’ve dulled carving idols of stone

that have crumbled like sand ‘neath the waves

I’ve recklessly built all my dreams in the sand,

just to watch them all wash away

Through another day, another trial

Another chance to reconcile

To One who sees past all I’ve seen,

and reaching out my weary hand,

I pray that you’d understand,

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

All the pennies I’ve wasted in my wishing well

I have thrown like storms to the sea.

I have cast my lots, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly,

for a faith to be faithful to me.

Through another day, another trial,

Another chance to reconcile

To One who sees past all I’ve seen,

and reaching out my weary hand,

I pray that you’d understand,

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

All the chisels I’ve dulled carving idols of stone

that have crumbled like sand ‘neath the waves

I’ve recklessly built all my dreams in the sand,

just to watch them all wash away

Through another day, another trial

Another chance to reconcile

To One who sees past all I’ve seen,

and reaching out my weary hand,

I pray that you’d understand,

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

All the pennies I’ve wasted in my wishing well

I have thrown like storms to the sea.

I have cast my lots, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly,

for a faith to be faithful to me.

Through another day, another trial,

Another chance to reconcile

To One who sees past all I’ve seen,

and reaching out my weary hand,

I pray that you’d understand,

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

You’re the only one who’s faithful to me.

I Remember…

1 Oct

(Warning, Only the 1st half of this song is good. That is why I am only posting the first half of the lyrics.)

“I Remember”
(Damien Rice)

I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
‘Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stairs
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down…

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth…

I want you here tonight
I want you here
‘Cause I can’t believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down…
