best lyrics: bright eyes
On a string...
On a string... On a string, I was held. The way I move, can you tell? My actions are orchestrated from above. So I swing and I sway. Wave my hand, kick my leg, And it is always right with the music. "Until all that swaying starts to make you sick..." For a song I was bought, Now I lie when I talk With a careful eye on the cue card. Onto a stage I was pushed, With my sorrow well rehearsed. So give me all your pity and your money, now (all of it) "We used to think that sound was something pure..." If I could act like This was my real life, And not some cage where I've been placed, Well then, I could tell you The truth like I used to And not be afraid of sounding fake. Now all anyone's listening for are the mistakes! (Ah, I'm sorry!) (Oh, it's okay, it's okay) 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3! In a house by myself, I hear the ice start to melt, And I'll watch rooftops weep for the sunlight. And I know what must change, F*** my face. F*** my name, They are brief and false advertisements... ...For a soul I don't have. Something true I have lacked And spent my whole life trying to make up for. But I found in a song And in the people I love, They will lift me up out of darkness. And now my door, it stands open, I'm inviting everyone in. We're gonna laugh, We're gonna drink until the morning comes. That's what we're gonna to do... Come on!! Come on!! YOU WILL. YOU? WILL. YOU? WILL. YOU? WILL Well you say that I treat you like a book on a shelf I don't take you out that often 'cause I know that I completed you and that's why you are here That's the reason you stay here How awful that must feel You said you would be my dream I could have you every night And if by morning, I'd forgotten you, well no big deal, that'd be all right 'Cause you're the reoccurring kind You are the reoccurring kind You never really leave my mind Are you the love of my lifetime? Cause there have been times I've had my doubts We were just kids when I first kissed you in the attic of my parents house, and I wish we were there now It took so long to figure out What this book has been about Now I write when I'm away, letters that you'll never read You said go explore those other women, the geography of their bodies, but there's just one map you'll need You're a boomerang you'll see You will return to me You will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You? Will. You, you will. 'Cause if you don't, then this book is all lies If you don't, then my plans would all be ruined If you don't, I'll start drinking like the way I drank before Oh, and I, I just won't have a future anymore.

The lyrics to "First Day of My Life", IMO, are some of the best that Conor has ever written.

Pearl Jam - Nothingman
once divided...nothing left to subtract... some words when spoken...can't be taken back... walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking... future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking... caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go... nothingman... nothingman... isn't it something? nothingman... she once believed...in every story he had to tell... one day she stiffened...took the other side... empty stares...from each corner of a shared prison cell... one just escapes...one's left inside the well... and he who forgets...will be destined to remember... nothingman... nothingman... isn't it something? nothingman... oh, she don't want him... oh, she won't feed him...after he's flown away... oh, into the sun...ah, into the sun... burn...burn... nothingman... nothingman... isn't it something? nothingman... nothingman... coulda' been something... nothingman... they're some pretty good lyrics |

Note that those lyrics are supposed to be sarcastic and a put down to modern relationships
