In My Place
In my place, in my place,
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah.
I was lost, I was lost,
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed,
I was lost, oh yeah.
And yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
I was scared, I was scared,
Tired and under prepared,
But I wait for it.
And if you go, if you go,
Leave me down here on my own,
Then I'll wait for you, yeah.
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it
Sing it please, please, please,
Come back and sing to me,
To me, me.
- Coldplay, A Rush of Blood (2002)
I had mistaken this song with another song called clocks also by Coldplay. Then later I thought it was sang by Radiohead. It was only yesterday when I heard the song again, I knew exactly of its origins and because I have a sick affinity with the song, I googled for the above lyrics and got these. I like the song, it’s haunting and it’s sad. I mean it’s a fucking love song right? Basically, guy lost gal because he did something terribly wrong. Blamed it on being lost *don’tweall* then assuaged the guilt off by taking all the blame to hopefully have the gal forgive him and take him back. A bit later he reasoned that he was tired and not prepared *prrft* But the loop and pull to the song is in the repeated chorus. Where he asked how, how, how? It hints that this separation was mutual and still unresolved. And what about the huge ‘IF’ there at her leaving? So they haven’t broken up? They are on a-break *thinkepisodefriendsrachelandross* perhaps? Then you can’t also NOT wonder why the she must be waiting and paying for the separation? It was a matter that was beyond their control maybe? It’s Romeo and Juliet!!! *slapsforehead* Obviously the song is an open dialogue between two lovers and that he is reminding her to be strong and that he will be very patient till they can find the solution to their separation. He can’t help her maybe because if he could then why is he doing all the pleading and the whining? When one decides to wait and see *andthensingsome* doesn’t that mean, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn. BUT if you do come by this way for whatever reason, I’ll be more than happy to let’s pick up from where we have left and have some fun”. So isn’t this song a rah-rah-cheer-on-I-am-reminding-you-I’ll-be-here-now-and-forever-kinda-song? Very befitting a scene in Romeo and Juliet yes? *sigh* so tragic! So romantic! *sobsobsob* can feel all the blood rushing to my head now.
BUT what I am really truly interested in is WHAT could the reply to this song be?
stay sane,

Lush - Ciao!
I've been so happy since I walked away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a big mistake
And life is wonderful, now that I'm rid of you
Oh I must've been crazy to have stayed with you
I can't believe I thought I was in love with you
But now the scales have fallen I can really see
And I say go to hell, 'cause thats where you took me
Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door
You always cramped my style, I never noticed before
It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop
I can't believe I fell for such a loser like you
And is it any wonder that I felt so blue
When I was always having to put up with you
Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me
Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history
I know that you miss me really, bet you wish that you still had me
You'll never find someone like me but I've got no regrets at all
'Cause I've met this girl and she's so good to me
She's really beautiful, fantastic company
Oh, when I'm with her I realise what love can be
'Cause she's fifty times the person you will ever be
Good luck, mister, do you think I care?
Since you've been gone the offers have been everywhere
I've got a million guys just lining up for me
I've turned a corner, boy, my life is ecstasy
Well, I've been in heaven since I walk away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a waste of space
And life is wonderful now that I'm over you

Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer
I think it's getting to the point
where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point
where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point
that is the hardest part.
And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom
And if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home
You think it's only fair to do what's
best for you and you alone
You think it's only fair to do the same
to me when you're not home
I think it's time to make this something that is
more than only fair
So if you call, I will answer
and if you fall, I'll pick you up
and if you court this disaster
I'll point you home.
But I'm warning you, don't ever do
those crazy, messed up things that you do
If you ever do
I promise you I'll be the first to crucity you
Now it's time to prove that you've come back
here to rebuild.
song & video would be here...

positive ones... there's loads around. where lovers learn and repent and love again (or TRY again).
but if i only have to choose one.. one of my many favourites would be..
Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
Here we are, still together
We are one...
So much time, wasted,
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeahhh
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
to kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over)
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over, over)
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby it ain't over 'til it's over

another track to leave you with...
Feist - Loving you inside & out
Baby, I can't figure it out
Your kisses taste like honey
Sweet lies don't gimme no rise up
Fool, what you're trying to do
Livin' on your cheatin'
and the pain grows inside me
It's enough to leave me crying in the rain
Love you forever but you're driving me insane
And I'm hanging on
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll wait, I'll never give in
Our love has got the power
Too many lovers in one lifetime
Ain't good for you
You treat me like a vision in the night
Someone there to stand behind you
When your world ain't working right
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?
Wrap myself up and take me home again
Too many heartaches in one lifetime ain't good for me
You figure it's the love that keeps you warm
Let this moment be forever
We won't ever feel the storm
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?
Don't try to tell me that it's over
I can't hear a word I can't hear a line
No girl could love you more
And that's what I'm cryin' for
You can't change the way I feel inside
You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow
No man on earth can stand between my loving arms
And no matter how you hurt me, I will love you till I die
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire?
Loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out
I love no other way
What are we gonna do if we lose that fire
Inside and out x6

this is a bee gees original by the way. however, this is a great canadian version of feist's too!
*chairdances*
oohh amy.. there's so many! interesting enough?
*sigh*
<3
wah!!! besh giler....
how i wish the reply was from Lush cos its so fresh slash brutal hehe, the concept of LET IT GO! terrible when you can't as so with many romeo and juliet sob story.
to mark it with :-
"Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me
Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history"
but i think the current reply will be songs by Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer:-
"You think I only think about you
when we're both in the same room
You think I'm only here to witness
the remains of love exhumed
You think we're here to play
a game of who loves more than whom"
cos romeo and juliet didn't get together due to the wishes of thier families. uwaaa! forbidden love *shudders*
or Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over
"How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fears
Kept me wondering, yeahhh
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain't over 'til it's over"
and of course the cup de grace BEE GEES with love you Inside Out..
*sigh*
"You're the reason for my laughter and my sorrow
Blow out the candle I will burn again tomorrow
No man on earth can stand between my loving arms
And no matter how you hurt me, I will love you till I die
I ain't no vision, I'm the girl
Who loves you inside and out
Backwards and forwards with my heart hanging out"
*DAMNDAMNNNDEHEMharkptuiiii*
how i wish they could both just fark off *OVERANDOVER* and die with each other already :p
*muahahahahah*
