Long gone before daylight

It’s way too late to think of
Someone I would call now,
The neon signs got tired.
Red-eyed flights help the stars south,
I’m safe in a corner,
Just hours before me...

I’m waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered,
I’m dating ancient ghosts,
The ones I made friend with.
The comfort of fireflies,
Long gone before daylight...

And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight,
I’d ask for the sun to never arise.
If God lend his voice to me to speak...

I’d say: go to bed world!

I’ve always been to lame
To see what’s before me
And I know nothing’s sweeter than
Champaign from last new years,
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fear.

But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight,
I’d ask for the sun to never arise.
If God pass the might to me to speak...
I’d say: stay in bed, world... sleep in peace!

The Cardigans, 03:45 : no sleep , Long gone before daylight

Battle Royale

The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run .

~Bruce Springsteen, 'born to run'

For all of you out there as september starts:
(et merci Liz pour l'idée...lulu, je t'emprunte ta chanson^^)


Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
