What Song Are You?

I really like 'Krafty' by New Order too, one of my favourite pop songs of this year. It is so fluffy and 'aawww, life aint that shit after all' 
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna be
*chorus*
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
This is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
You know I'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (If I could change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)

My Sister's Tiny Hands - handsome family
We came in this world together. Legs wrapped round each other. My cheek against my sister's, we were born like tangled vine. We lived along the river where the black clouds never lingered. The sunlight spread like honey in my sister's tiny hands. But, while picking sour apples in the wild waving grasses, sister stumbled in a briar and was bitten by a snake. Every creature casts a shadow under the sun's golden finger, but when the sun sinks past the waving grass, some shadows are dragged along. Alone, I took to drinking bottles of cheap whiskey and staggering through the back woods killing snakes with a sharpened stick. But, still I heard her laughing in those wild, waving grasses. Still her tiny hands went splashing at the river's sparkling shore. So, I took my rusty gas can and an old iron shovel. I set the woods to burning and choked the river up with stones

Just post up the song title, who its by and the lyrics
This is mine:
Bruce Springsteen No Surrender
We busted out of class had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
I can feel my heart begin to pound
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down
We made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our own
With these drums and these guitars
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
The walls of my room are closing in
There's a war outside still raging
you say it ain't ours anymore to win
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lover's bed
with a wide open country in my eyes
and these romantic dreams in my head

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
That's why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed

It's just some of the things he said
keep going 'round inside my head
"I'm gonna save my soul
before things get impossible"
I should've seen the signs
and the were right before my eyes
he could've saved my soul
A fog rolled across the bay
I think I saw him sail away
now like those before
I'm just another body washed up on the shore
a curse on my bones
we made a pact among the stones
he could've saved my soul
do you recall the time
I think you just must have lost your mind
affected by the sun
and how the heavens lifted up as we made our run
blood stained the lanes
and I could barely feel the pain
I loved you so much more
We saw gunpowder paint the sky
demons hung out to dry
how many hours to go
before the next ice age suffocates the globe
sandstones remain
a sea of angels crossed the plain
they never save my soul
keep going 'round inside my head
"I'm gonna save my soul
before things get impossible"
I should've seen the signs

run for your life
Mine - by Soft Cell
Falling through at the seams
Living life in a dream
Even smiles make a lie
And I smile all the time
I'm skilled at the art
Of falling apart
It's the holding together
Together forever
Trying all of the vices
Is what's doing the damage
All the good things are bad things
And I'm paying the prices
I'm skilled at the art
Of falling apart
It's the holding together
Together forever
I'm covered in bruises
>From mixing with losers
It's the black and the blue
That's seeing me through
My cigarette diet
Means my throat hurts like hell
My friends say I'm dying
But I do it so wellI'm skilled at the art
Of falling apart
It's the holding together
Together forever
Falling through at the seams
Living life in a dream
Even smiles make a lie
And I smile all the time
I'm skilled at the art
Of falling apart
It's the holding together
Together forever
Trying all of the vices
Is what's doing the damage
All the good things are bad things
And I'm paying the prices
I'm skilled at the art
Of falling apart

But I do it so wellI'm skilled at the art

Tonight i gave the greatest performance of my life.
I never lost control i played the part so well.
That not a single soul could tell that i was lying.
And so, although it was hard to face our friends i gave a party
I know i meant to show them all i'd gotten over you
And though i saw the unbelieving looks on all their faces i had to try to make them think that it was true.
So i, who hardly dance, danced through the night just like a gypsy.
And i, who seldom drink, drank like a fish 'til i was high
And i, who hadn't laughed since god knows when, laughed like i was crazy.
'Til they believed it more than even i.
Tonight i gave the greatest performance of my life.
I never lost control i played the part so well.
That not a single soul could tell that i was lying.
But love, if you had bee behind the curtain when it fell
When all the lights were out and i was all alone
You would have seen this actress crying.
I never lost control i played the part so well.
That not a single soul could tell that i was lying.

Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles
I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea
I can't see what she sees in a man like me
She says she loves me
Her eyes

Her eyes are a blue million miles
Far as I can see
She loves me
Her eyes

Her eyes are a blue million miles
Far as I can see
She loves me
I look at her and she looks at me
In her eyes I see the sea
I can't see what she sees in a man like me
She says she loves me

Her eyes are a blue million miles
I look at her and she looks at me

Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
No, it's not like any other love
This one is different - because it's us
Hand in glove
We can go wherever we please
And everything depends upon
How near you stand to me
And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care
Kiss My Shades
Hand in glove
The Good People laugh
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have
Hand in glove
The sun shines out of our behinds
Yes, we may be hidden by rags
But we've something they'll never have
And if the people stare
Then the people stare
Oh, I really don't know and I really don't care
Kiss My Shades ... oh ...
So, hand in glove I stake my claim
I'll fight to the last breath
If they dare touch a hair on your head
I'll fight to the last breath
For the Good Life is out there somewhere
So stay on my arm, you little charmer
But I know my luck too well
Yes, I know my luck too well
And I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again
I'll probably never see you again
Oh ...

The Libertines - What a Waster
What a waster, what a fucking waster
You pissed it all up the wall
Round the corner where they chased her
There's tears coming out from everywhere
The city's hard, the city's fair
Get back inside you've got nothing on
No you mind yer bleedin own you two bob cunt
When she wakes up in the morning
She writes down all her dreams
Reads like the book of revelations
Or the Beano or the unabridged ulysses
Oh I really wanna know
So tell me, where does all the money go
where does all the money go
Straight, straight up her nose
And I never really liked it any way
So much preferred it the other way yeah
What a divvy what a fucking div
Talking like a moron, walking like a spiv
I was laying in bed paying my rent
Knocking on the door for something
That she lent her brother
Meanwhile from under the covers she says
Save me from tommorow now, save me from tommorow now,
Oh no, Oh no not me
And I never really liked it any way
So much preferred it the other way yeah
Never really liked it any way

I've never felt a song's lyric so personally as this - and weirdly, it gets more relevant as the years pass...
Glory Days - Pulp
Come and play the tunes of glory /raise your voice in celebration / of the days that we have wasted / in the cafe in the station. / And learn the meaning of existence / in fortnightly instalments. / Come share this golden age with me / in my single room apartment. / And if it all amounts to nothing -
it doesn't matter, / these are still our glory days.
Oh my face is unappealing / and my thoughts are unoriginal. / I did experiments with substances / but all it did was make me ill / and I used to do the "I Ching" / but then I had to feed the meter. / Now I can't see into the future / but at least I can use the heater. / Oh it doesn't get much better than this / cos this is how we live our glory days.
Oh and I could be a genius / if I just put my mind to it / and I, I could do anything / if only I could get round to it. / Oh we were brought up on the Space-Race, / now they expect you to clean toilets. / When you've seen how big the world is, / how can you make do with this? / If you want me I'll be sleeping in - / sleeping in throughout these glory days.
These glory days can take their toll, / so catch me now before I turn to gold. / Yeah we'd love to hear your story / just as long as it tells us where we are - / that where we are is where we're meant to be. / Oh come on make it up yourself - / you don't need anybody else. / And I promise I won't sell these days to anybody else / in the world but you.
No-one but you.

Been listening to this track for over twenty years and it still has a strange resonance, something I identify with but never been entirely sure why....(Bowie, Quicksand)
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name
on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of
Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
[CHORUS]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release
I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name
on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of
Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
[CHORUS]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release
I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
