Out of all songs, this one brings me closest to crying Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (some else originally, but meh...) I lost myself on a cool damp night Gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see and be what I want to be When I think more than I want to think Do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because (it) brings me back you... Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Listen to me... I cannot see clearly Isn't that she coming to me nearly here? Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love? Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear? Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...

Usher - "Can You Help Me"
Umm, why, umm, why
Living on the edge out of control And the world just wont let me slow down But in my biggest picture was a photo of you and me Girl you know I tried I work hard to provide all the material things That I thought would make you happy I'm confused, can you make me understand Cause I tried to give you the best of me I thought we were cool maybe I was blind But never took time to see
Can you help me? Tell me what you want from me Can you help me? Tell me why you want to leave Baby help me Without you my whole world is falling apart And I'm going crazy! Life's a prison when your in love alone
(Oh girl) I need you to come back home (you know I need you) I don't want to be alone
Girl I put your love up on the shelf And I guess I just left it to die Now we're not together, cause I hurt you too many times And now you're not around I wish for every moment of time that got wasted We used it to make sweet love Baby be my guide please take my hand Want you to know that I got you if you need it I don't want to be on the outside looking in I got to have you girl can't you see
Can you help me? Tell me what you want from me Can you help me? Tell me why you want to leave Baby help me Cause without you my whole world is falling apart And without you I think I'll go crazy Life's a prison when you're in love alone
(Oh girl) I need you to come back home (you know I need you) I don't want to be alone
To give me another chance I want to be your man Girl, you got me down here on my knees Crying, begging, pleading I'll do anything for your love Would you help me?
Tell me what you want from me Can you help me? I don't understand Girl I'm just a man Help me Can you help me Without you my whole world is falling apart And without you, girl, I'm going crazy Life's a prison without your love
Can you help me Tell me why (why) why (why) why why why why Can you help me Girl, I'll never stop, cause you're all I got Baby help me Help me understand, I can be a man Drivin' me crazy (crazy crazy crazy)
Ooh girl I love ya (said I love ya girl) You know I need ya (oooooh I need ya) Can't live without ya (can't go one day without ya) Oh girl I love ya (ooh girl I need ya) You know I need ya (oohh no no) Can't live without ya (can't have ya) Ooh girl I need ya (oh no no no) You know I need ya (no no no no) Can't live without ya Ooh girl I love ya (if u understand ) Ohh girl I need ya (can you help me) (sing along) You know I need ya
Usher - "Separated"
Oh no, no, no, no
If love was a bird Then we wouldn't have wings If love was a sky We'd be blue If love was a choir You and I could never sing Cause love isn't for me and you
If love was an Oscar You and I could never win Cause we can never act out our parts If love is the Bible Then we are lost in sin Because its not in our hearts
So why don't you go your way And I'll go mine Live your life, and I'll live mine Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine Cause we're better off, separated
If love was a fire Then we have lost the spark Love never felt so cold If love was a light Then we're lost in the dark Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport We're not on the same team You and I are destined to lose If love was an ocean Then we are just a stream Cause love isn't for me and you
So why don't you go your way And I'll go mine Live your life, and I'll live mine Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine Cause we're better off, separated
Girl I know we had some good times It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye Girl you know I love you, I can't deny I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I I know it hurts so much but it's best for us Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry It's killing me so, why don't you go
So why don't you go your way And I'll go mine Live your life, and I'll live mine Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine Cause we're better off, separated

"You're In Love" - Wilson Philips
Open the door and come in I'm so glad to see you my friend Don't know how long it has been Having those feelings again.
And now I see that you're so happy And ooh, it just sets me free And I'd like to see Us as good of friends As we used to be
Chorus: Aah, my love, Aah You're in love That's the way It should be 'Cause I want you to be happy You're in love And I know That you're not in love with me Ooh it's enough For me to know That you're in love Now I'll let you go 'Cause I know That you're in love
Sometimes it's hard to believe That you're never coming back to me I've had this dream that you'd always be by my side Oh I could have died.
But now I see that you're so happy And ooh, it just sets me free. And I'd like to see Us as good of friends As we used to be
(Chorus)
I tried to find you but you were so far away I was praying that fate would bring you back to me Someday, someday, someday... Ooh, you're in love
Ooh it's enough For me to know That you're in love Now I'll let you go 'Cause I know That you're in love

"Dry Your Eyes" - The Streets
In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us I can change and I can grow or we could adjust The wicked thing about us is we always have trust We can even have an open relationship, if you must I look at her she stares almost straight back at me But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet
Dry your eyes mate I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up There’s plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you’ve got to walk away now It’s over
So then I move my hand up from down by my side It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh ‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’ It weren't supposed to be easy, surely Please, please, I beg you please She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers
Dry your eyes mate I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up There’s plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you’ve got to walk away now It’s over
And I’m just standin’ there, I can’t say a word ‘Cause everythin’s just gone I’ve got nothin’ Absolutely nothin’
Tryin’ to pull her close out of bare desperation Put my arms around her tryin’ to change what she’s sayin’ Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in Look into her eyes to make her listen again I’m not gonna fuckin’, just fuckin’ leave it all now ‘Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down You’re well out of order now, this is well out of town She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away
Dry your eyes mate I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up There’s plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you’ve got to walk away now It’s over
I know in the past I’ve found it hard to say Tellin’ you things, but not tellin’ straight But the more I pull on your hand and say The more you pull away
Dry your eyes mate I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up There’s plenty more fish in the sea Dry your eyes mate I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts But you’ve got to walk away now.

^^ I'm loving those lyrics Maggie Edited: "Behing The Wall" - Tracy Chapman Last night I heard the screaming Loud voices behind the wall Another sleepless night for me It won’t do no good to call The police Always come late If they come at all And when they arrive They say they can’t interfere With domestic affairs Between a man and his wife And as they walk out the door The tears well up in her eyes Last night I heard the screaming Then a silence that chilled my soul I prayed that I was dreaming When I saw the ambulance in the road And the policeman said ’I’m here to keep the peace Will the crowd disperse I think we all could use some sleep’

Currently my favourite song. Credit has to really go to Ganesha introducing Pet Sounds as my next album to buy. The melody to this song is so beautiful.
Beach Boys - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times Lyrics
I keep looking for a place to fit where I can speak my mind,
I've been trying hard to find people that I won't leave behind, They say I got brains, but they ain't doing me no good, I wish they could
Each time things start to happen again I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong?
Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad
Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into
Sometimes I feel very sad
Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into
I guess I just wasn't made for these times Every time I get the inspiration to go change things around, No one wants to help me look for places where new things might be found, Where can I turn when my fair weather friends cop out? What's it all about?
Each time things start to happen again I think I got something good goin' for myself
But what goes wrong?
Sometimes I feel very sad Sometimes I feel very sad Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into
Sometimes I feel very sad Can't find nothin' I can put my heart and soul into
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
(I guess I just wasn't made for these times)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
(I guess I just wasn't made for these times)
I guess I just wasn't made for these times
(I guess I just wasn't made for these times)

Arthurs theme (best that you can do) This is an absolutely awesome song, and the lyrics are fantastic! Once in your life you find her Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?" When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ...... The best that you can do is fall in love Arthur he does as he pleases All of his life, he's mastered choice Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy Living his life one day at a time And showing himself a really good time Laughing about the way they want him to be When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love

I'm loving Missy Higgins right now "The Special Two" I've hardly been outside my room in days, 'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays. The darkness helps until the whiskey wears away, And it's then I realize the conscience never fades. When you're young you have this image of your life: That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife. And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross, And if you happen to you wake completely lost. But I will fight for you, be sure that I will fight until we're the special two once again. And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together, Our hands would not be taught to hold another's, When we were the special two. And we could only see each other, we'd breathe together, These arms will not be taught to need another, 'Cause we were the special two. I remember someone old once said to me: "Lies will lock you up with truth the only key." But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell, And couldn't see this place would soon become my hell. So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face? Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place. I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now, But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not Let you down 'cause we were the special two, and will be again. And we will only need each other, we'll breathe together, Our hands will not be taught to need another's, When we're the special two. And we could only see each other we'll breathe together, These arms will not be taught to need another... I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute. And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease, Or something that could ease the pain. But nothing cures the hurt you bring onto yourself, Just remembering, just remembering how we were...

I'm not a huge fan of these bands, but I really like the lyrics of these particular songs:
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - Green Day
I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street On the Blvd. of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the border line of the edge And where I walk alone
Read between the lines What's fucked up and everythings all right Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive And I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a...
My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk alone
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
I walk this empty street On the Blvd. of broken dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one and I walk a..
My shadows the only one that walks beside me My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me Till then I walk away!
Disappear - HOOBASTANK
There's a pain that sleeps inside It sleeps with just one eye And awakens the moment that you're near Though I try to look away The pain it still remains Only leaving when you're next to me
Do you know, that every time you're near Everybody else seems far away So can you come and make them disappear Make them disappear and we can stay
So I stand and look around Distracted by the sounds Of everyone and everything I see And I search through every face Without a single trace, of the person The person that I need
Do you know, that every time you're near Everybody else seems far away So can you come and make them disappear Make them disappear and we can stay
Can you make them disappear? Make them disappear
There's a pain that sleeps inside Sleeps with just one eye And awakens, the moment that you're near And I search through every face Without a single trace, of the person The person that I need
Do you know, that every time you're near Everybody else seems far away So can you come and make them disappear Make them disappear and we can stay

Sydney from a 727 - Paul Kelly Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? Sydney shines such a beautiful light And I can see Bondi through my window way off to the right And the curling waves on a distant break And the sleeping city just about to wake Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night?
Now the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun My eyes are full of sand from my midnight run And the captain says belt up now we'll be touching down in ten So I press my seat and I straighten up I fold my tray and I stash my cup As the red roofs are catching the first rays of the morning sun
Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes? And sent her letters full of lies Have you ever longed to see the sun fall where it used to rise? And quit your job on the spot Bought that ticket yeah spent the lot Have you ever fallen for a girl with different coloured eyes?
Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? Have you ever seen Sydney from a 727 at night? Me I've never seen Dallas from a DC9

Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell
Rows and flows of angel hair, and icecream castles in the air, and feathered canyons everywhere, I've looked at love that way, but now they only block the sun. They rain and snow on everyone. So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.
I've looked at clouds from both sides now, from up and down, and still somehow, it's clouds illusions I recal. I really don't know clouds...at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel as every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way. But now it's just another show. You leave 'em laughing when you go and if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now, from give and take, and still somehow it's love's illusions I recall. I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud, dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say I've changed. Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now, from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall. I really don't know life at all.

I can't believe someone hasn't already posted this.
Castles Made of Sand - Jimi Hendrix
Down the street you can hear her scream you’re a disgrace As she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool He cries oh, girl you must be mad, What happened to the sweet love you and me had? Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green
And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
A little indian brave who before he was ten, Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends And he built up a dream that when he grew up He would be a fearless warrior indian cheif Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night
And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown ’cause she was crippled for life, And she couldn’t speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living, So she decided to die She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled you won’t hurt me no more But then a sight she’d never seen made her jump and say Look a golden winged ship is passing my way
And it really didn’t have to stop, it just kept on going...
And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually

Oh and this one . . .
The Stranger - Leonard Cohen
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender, who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another He was just some Joseph looking for a manger He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
And then leaning on your window sill he'll say one day you caused his will to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet an old schedule of trains, he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger.
But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams as though they were the burden of some other O you've seen that man before his golden arm dispatching cards but now it's rusted from the elbows to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.
Ah you hate to see another tired man lay down his hand like he was giving up the holy game of poker And while he talks his dreams to sleep you notice there's a highway that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder. It is curling just like smoke above his shoulder.
You tell him to come in sit down but something makes you turn around The door is open you can't close your shelter You try the handle of the road It opens do not be afraid It's you my love, you who are the stranger It's you my love, you who are the stranger.
Well, I've been waiting, I was sure we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for I think it's time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart to get me to the heart of this or any other matter When he talks like this you don't know what he's after When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after.
Let's meet tomorrow if you choose upon the shore, beneath the bridge that they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or someplace later.
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind ...
And leaning on your window sill ...
I told you when I came I was a stranger.
