Being a Collection

San Francisco Bay Area. Arranged in no particular Order but that Sarah McLachlan
be, as I prefer all Women, on top.

lyrics.
Sarah Mclachlan: Fumbling Towards Ecstacy, Solace, Touch, Surfacing, Mirrorball, Rarities and B-Sides
"All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my chest
It's my mouth that pushes out this breath"
And if I shed a tear I won't cage it -- I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it -- I won't fear love"
Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
"I remember how you left in the morning at daybreak -- so softly you stole from my bed
To go back to the one who possesses your soul, and I back to the life that I dread,
So I ran like the wind to the water --
'Please don't leave me again,' I cried,
And I threw bitter tears at the ocean,
But all that came back was the tide"
I Will Not Forget you, Solace
Delicious Blue: This Love Will Be Lost, Pull Me Under
"As long as I know all the I's there are,
I cannot lose my way
Beneath this open day..."
Cassandra
"He looked for years until he found her
The girl in black could not see
He found her sleeping in the oceans
I saw her face and it was me"
The Girl in Black
Lee Press-On and the Nails: Jump Swing from Hell (Live at the Hi-Ball Lounge), Swing is Dead
"Don't bother with a doorbell/ Visit me, you'll need a shovel;
I prefer a coffin to a bed…"
I Prefer a Coffin to a Bed, Swing is Dead
"Close your eyes like you're in a trance,
Keep thinkin' 'bout that south of France,
Now jump around like your shorts are full of ants,
And that's how you're doin' the Big Pants Dance"
Big Pants Dance
Heather Alexander: Midsummer, Life's Flame, Wanderlust
"The magic never dies; in children's hearts it lies --
Pray, let them learn from times before;
From Dragon's flame and ire can come forth Phoenix fire
And we will hear the song once more:
I am Life's Flame, respect my name,
My fire is red, my heart is gold;
Thy dreams can be -- believe in me,
If you but let my wings unfold..."
Life's Flame
Tara MacLean: Silence, Passenger
"Captured in a photograph inside her eyes,
She'll wrap you in her blanket and then she'll tell you some lies,
And you will kneel before her at her altar in the trees,
Because they say, no matter who you are,
She'll bring you to your knees "
Let Her Feel the Rain
"You're gone, like the broken words at your feet,
You're gone, in the venom lips that kissed me sweetly,
Gone, like a frightened bird, into the sky --
Oh, won't you take everything I ever had
And leave me to die..."
Holy Tears
"I'll be checking out the scenery
From as high as I can be
Come let faith be your garden
Always changing, always still
Still breathing..."
Divided
"Same place I've always been
Just lost on these roads again
Just as I got near the end
I keep falling in the holes you left in me
Oh, funny how
I spent this time lashing out
It's a lie
Everything you felt until now"
Jericho
October Project: Bury My Lovely; alas, the band is now dissolved.
A shadow from another time
is waiting in the night
Something happened long ago,
something that will not let go
Bury my lovely, hide in your room
Bury my lovely, forget me soon, forget me
Forget me now,
forget me not
Bury My Lovely
Naked Barbies (most recently the Vagabond Lovers): Tarnished, Living Independently
"It's my little drama and the curtain fell down
The lights are all off, there's no one around
It's my little drama, and it don't include you
So I'll sit here alone
And sing my own blues"
My Little Drama
Darkest of the Hillside Thickets: Great Old Ones, Cthulhu Strikes Back
"One day the night will never end,
One day the sun will burn away,
No bells will ring, no children sing --
They're gonna pull my body from the ground that day."
Space Ghosts
"In asylums, restless patients scream
Visions of Cthulhu every night they dream
They see the signs of chaos beyond the wall of sleep
Their minds contain a knowledge that our own refuse to keep"
