Excess

Tricky

I believe in 
I deceive in 
Bottom weaving 
I can breathe in 
Make a wish in 
Flower fishing
Moving vibration 
Mild relation 
I'm jamaican on your radio station 
Got a curse in 
Could be worse in 
You first 
In a hearse in 
Good as dead in 
Nothing left in 
Nothing left in 
Some be heading 
I need a head rest in 
And a feed from a warm breast 

And man making hits
From my childbearing hips
Underground like 
Who's it sound like 
You all sound the same 
But you don't know my name

I believe in people lying 
I believe in people dying 
I believe in people trying 
I believe in people crying

Ah

I believe in people balking 
I believe in people talking 

Ah

I believe in people breathing 
I believe in people being 

We all sound the same 
You don't know my name 
Rearrange and
Things don't change 
Things remain
Feel the strain 
Stress 
Catch my breath 
(There'll be a new tale of)
Get some rest 
(He and I)
From the mess 
(In fact any time)
I couldn't care less 
(Every day)
Sugar cane
(Write fictional stories)
Is like smack to my vein 
Shook fame 
(If you want to)
But I don't complain 
(On the street)

I believe in different reasons 
I believe in breath through seasons 
I believe when snow flakes fall 
I believe in buildings tall 

Ah

I believe in people bombing 
I believe in people warring 
I believe diseases coming 
I believe that's why I'm running 

Ah

Keep living 

Ah

Keep living 


(Alanis Morissette in the background) 
You gotta ask 
(There'll be a new tale of)
Before he attacks 
(He and I)
You got the flats 
(In fact any time)
Dub my sacks 
(Every day)
You've got the city 
(Writing fictional stories)
Move out of the country 
I'm scrunching 
(If you want to)
Friends that are punchy 
(On the street)

I believe in people falling 
I believe in people warring 
I believe diseases coming 
I believe that's why I'm running 

Ah

Stephanie McKay: 
I believe in people balking 
I believe in people talking 

Ah

I believe in people breathing
I believe in people being

Ah

Keep living

    It's is/was the theme song for Glory Days on the WB. I think they might have cancelled the show, though.

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
