This Guy's In Love

Ever since I saw the movie "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" a few days ago, this song has been haunting me. I remember it from my childhood. It's not that it's such a great song, or that it's a brilliant song, but it's a song that kind of hangs around and stays with you. Kind of sweet, kind of sad, a mix of things. "My hands.... are shaking"

"This Guy's in Love with You" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass,


You say this guy
This guy's in love with you
Yes I'm in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show you
I'm glad I got to know you, 'cause

I've heard some talk
They say you think I'm fine
Yes I'm in love
And what I do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart be breaking, 'cause

I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love,
in love with this guy
If not I'll just... die

Tell me now, is it so
Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking
Don't let my heart be breaking, 'cause

I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love,
in love with this guy
If not I'll just... die

I Slowly Floated Away

"One Day I Slowly Floated Away" by Eisley




One day I slowly floated away
One day I slowly floated away

All the war horses wore rubber bands
to hide their hooves from sinking sand
The commander in charge was hoping that
Their destiny was not to die

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

Hard to foresee the future
Our bodies were growing thin
Glimpsing the peeling paint of
The nurse's ivory chin

You've got a lot of nerve coming here
Your eyes are beating rhythm's way
Faster than the speeding bullet that
took the life of your radio

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie

And in the corner chair
soft and soap-scented
my darling cries apologies

We foresee the mercy
That's been shown my young limbs
Will not go unthanked or unseen

Wake up in the morning I shall
Wake up and so shall you
And I wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
Fragile as we lie


oooh-ooo-ahhhhh- aaahh-ah-ahhh-ah-ahh-ahhhhh
oooh-ooo-ahhhhh- aaahh-ah-ahhh-ah-ahh-ahhhhh

Veins

Veins by Charlotte Martin




I know you know
Let the life come back and force through my veins
It goes, it goes
Through the protons, neutrons securing the frame
Say yes say no
It's a matter of me forcing the praise
Put on the new
Woman, man, and child who are breaking the braces

The catacombs
And revolving doors inside of my brain
Preachers and whores
And the neon pulpits burst into flames
I come from both
Sides of me and either side of their tracks
Humbling my ghosts
Letting life that floods my veins bring me back

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
And the loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Hello my love
Seeking passages and food for your soul
On 95
Look ahead cause they're not filling that hole yet
Come lay your hands
Over mine and it will make us both brave
Braver to know
Let the light, the life force back in our veins

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
And the loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Are you ready for the power of god?
Are you waiting for the saints to all nod?
At the girl who should be raised from the dead?
At the demons who've been forced from my head?

Hey
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah I've come undone
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah I've come undone

The unshackling of the chains on my wrists
The loyalty to pain that resists
And the greatest books are talking about this
Why must everybody die to exist?

Are you ready for the power of god?
Are you waiting for the saints to all nod?
At the girl who should be raised from the dead?
