Just don't let the music fall

Hmmm..my last few songs have been either rather sad or dark huh? Well here are The Pipettes for you then! Happy, light-hearted music for a nein sad, nein dark mood *laugh*

So even though I might not get to be fraulein fiona, and though I'm still too queasy to go out, I can't help being cheered up, because I do so love surprises *grin* more so especially yummy and pretty surprises!

I do hope the music never stops, for many more years! *smile*

Dance with me pretty boy tonight
Dance with me and we'll be alright
There's a whole floor before us just for you and me
So follow my lead and we'll one two three
Pull Shapes

I like to Disco
I like to Rock 'n' Roll
Well I like to Hip Hop

Well you can do it all
Just don't let the music fall
Pull Shapes

I lead with my left hand
I stop with my right foot
Well I just want to freak out
I just want to move
I don't care what this song's about

Is there a drum beat?
Pull Shapes
And is the bass sweet?
Pull Shapes
Well then the rhyme is complete
Then get up on the floor
It's time for you to move your feet

What do you do when the music stops?
Pull Shapes

Clap your hands if you want some more
Pull Shapes



The Pipettes | Pull Shapes

I can never say no to anyone but you

If I start hearing this song in my dreams, I guess I must be listening to it too much! *laugh* Oh, but the album is so sweetly succinct that I can't help but play it again every time it ends. I guess it's good that I've return the cd *grin* it's different in a way, when left with only the mp3s.

And of course it's such a big difference watching them live; I do so want to catch them when they come here!

I met the most obliging cat yesterday. She couldn't say no to anything. Even when panting and sweating from her paws, which is such a strange sight to see on a cat. *grin*

Sharp and open, leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting in the cold light

A noise, a scream
Tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly

You mean nothing
You mean nothing

I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while

I can never say no
I can never say no to anyone but you

Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time

I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again

Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again



The Cure | The Figurehead



I like this one a lot too. I find the drums on it very steady and comforting, and the riffs in between verses and chorus beautiful and melodic. And yes, anything siamese is always so alluring in a way.

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss

We writhed under a red light
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart

The walls and the ceiling move in time
Push a blade into my hands
Slowly up the stairs
And into the room
Is it always like this?

Dancing in my pocket
Worms eat my skin
She glows and grows
With arms outstretched
Her legs around me
In the morning I cried

Leave me to die
You won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk
We never smile
I scream
You're nothing
I don't need you any more
You're nothing
It fades and spins
Fades and spins

Sing out loud
We all die
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?

The Cure | Siamese Twins

You got me so I can't sleep at night

And as suddenly as it came, it goes. *laugh* And all I'm feeling now is an ache to be anywhere else. And a longing to play games *grin* if only I had my own playstation! Although my cat, at times can be just as entertaining too. I don't know how you do it but you just do.

Girl, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

You really got me
You really got me
You really got me

See, don't ever set me free
I always wanna be by your side
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now
Oh yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

You really got me
You really got me
You really got me



The Kinks | You Really Got Me

Will you be there to embrace me

I thought it was okay but it was like click click click, and then suddenly snip snip snip, everything fell apart again. So easily.

It's sad to be on both sides of the same kind of story. To be both the singer, and the one being sung to. Because I know what you mean. I mean it too. I hear myself repeating what you say to me, but to someone else. I understand how you can be so sure, because I'm sure of it myself.

Yes it's what I'd like to say, and I do. And most of time I believe it. But sometimes I get so affected that I know it's not true. Still, I know it's best to keep the words in.

Words I keep in here
Thoughts that make me scared
Always seem to show
Eyes let me know you know

It's not you it's all me
As if me taking all the blame
Will make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out

What I'd like to say
Is that staying friends is okay
But you and me we know
That in one heart love will grow

It's not you it's all me
As if me taking all the blame
Will make you feel much better now
But all lights burn out

Same time tomorrow when I wake up
Will the violins be playing
When my heart finally opens
Will you be there to embrace me

Because it's all so crazy now
Yeah, it's all so fucked up now

I always thought that I
Find what I lack in you
