"Poems" by Nearly God
Tricky:
I can vibe to anything
Do I have to hide from everything?
Everybody wants a piece of me
Reach their origin and cease to be
Sit back and let it happen,
Let us take your time away.
I don't understand you.
I don't want your time of day.
If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way
Always walk the hallways,
Forget the punk,
I pack the funk.
I'm gonna take a piece of you.
Making money for good health,
But first I learn to see myself
But first I learn to see myself
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Terry Hall:
I ruse the day that I ever met you,
And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
Deeply forget you,
Jesus believe me
You promised me poems.
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.
We were a right pair of believers
A couple of dreamers,
So how come you hate me?
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
Promised me poems
Martina Topley Bird:
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And contemplated choices.
Taste like a real kiss,
To heighten my awareness.
With all fairness, greatness with gratitude.
And simply riled with attitude
Now do promotion on TV, and ya still can't see.
We're down the hill cascade
And keep away the masquerade,
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And you promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
You promised me poems
I can vibe to anything
Do I have to hide from everything?
Everybody wants a piece of me
Reach their origin and cease to be
Sit back and let it happen,
Let us take your time away.
I don't understand you.
I don't want your time of day.
If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way
Always walk the hallways,
Forget the punk,
I pack the funk.
I'm gonna take a piece of you.
Making money for good health,
But first I learn to see myself

The Cup o' Joe
(Jail - Doug brings Pacey some coffee.)
Doug: You were in rare form tonight.
Pacey: How bad do I suck?
Doug: So what seems to be the problem?
Pacey: There is no problem, Dougie.
Doug: Oh, come on, Pacey. I found you hanging from a tree getting completely wasted.
Pacey: Huh?
Doug: So what is it, a girl or something?
Pacey: What?
Doug: Okay, so it's a girl. Who is she?
Pacey: Do you know what, Dougie? It's really not that important, okay?
Doug: Okay. (goes to leave)
Pacey: I'll tell you something, though... She is really, really, annoying!
Doug: Yeah?
Pacey: Yeah, I mean, this girl is amazing. There is not a single subject on the face of the planet that she doesn't have an opinion about. It's mind boggling.
Doug: Well, that certainly sounds like a nightmare.
Pacey: Well, no, I mean... It's not quite like that. I mean, you gotta understand that the girl's really smart, so she's usually right and when she argues, it comes from this really beautiful, pure place. So, I mean, how can you fight against that, you know? Especially if you're a smart ass like me.
Doug: Is she pretty?
Pacey: Yeah, she is pretty. She is very, very pretty. She's actually the kind of pretty that gives you butterflies, you know what I mean?
Doug: Yeah, never lose the butterflies.
Pacey: What?
Doug: You know, maybe that's what sucks about getting older. Somewhere along the line, you just, lose the butterflies. So the question is, little brother, what are you going to do about it?
Pacey: Do?
Doug: Yeah. Do as in, do something. Take action.
Pacey: No, I don't think you're really, properly grasping the gravity of this situation, Dougie. You see, if I was actually to do something about this, there is the strong possibility that the sun would cease to shine. The tides would cease to rise. In fact, I'm betting there's a pretty good chance that the very earth would crack open and Capeside would become home to a huge hellmouth, that would spew forth endless hordes of monsters and demons that would choke the denizens of this city, making them fall to their knees and pray for return to the days before I took action. That's really what we're talking about here.
Doug: Yeah, maybe. Look, Pacey, uhhh, in my experience you don't come across that many people with the ability to give you butterflies. You just don't. And if you don't tell this girl how you feel, well, it'll be like spending the rest of your life in your own personal prison.
(Doug goes to leave)
Pacey: Hey, Doug?
Doug: Yeah?
Pacey: Thank you.
Doug: You were in rare form tonight.
Pacey: How bad do I suck?

Faultline
there's a crack on the wall, it's been there for ages. but this wall still holds this roof on top of us. it might be weaker than it was some years ago, but it's still there, doing its job. it's a little bit like love. it's a little bit like us.

The Zealous
this overlooked gem
this long lost forgotten object
how come it's somebody's favourite work of art and not mine?
what did i fail to see?
what did i ignore?
it's far from late to claim that which now feels my own.
you may think it's wrong
you might not agree
but today you belong to me
prepare to be mine

The Velvet Curtain
and every day
i wake up with this feeling in my head
could you take it away
could you take it away
beautiful dreams
or nightmares waiting to haunt me
waiting to take me somewhere
i don't want to go
your memory haunts me every night
this feeling's ending with my life
just poke behind this velvet curtain
you'll see
it's still the same old me
i'm still the man you left behind
please, come back
please, just let me be
can't you see
can't you recognize me
you were so young when you left me
when you went away
i'm still the one you loved
i'm still the one who loved you
and i still love you every day
but i can't go on... not like this
your memory haunts me every night
this feeling's ending with my life
just poke behind this velvet curtain
you'll see
it's still the same old me
i'm still the man you left behind
please, come back
please, just let me be
i wake up with this feeling in my head
could you take it away
could you take it away
beautiful dreams
or nightmares waiting to haunt me
waiting to take me somewhere
i don't want to go
your memory haunts me every night
this feeling's ending with my life
just poke behind this velvet curtain
you'll see
it's still the same old me
i'm still the man you left behind
please, come back
please, just let me be

can't you recognize me
you were so young when you left me
when you went away
i'm still the one you loved
i'm still the one who loved you
and i still love you every day
but i can't go on... not like this

you'll see
it's still the same old me
i'm still the man you left behind
please, come back
please, just let me be
All compassion removed
she left me on a thursday afternoon
why didn't she wait till friday?
i would have had the whole weekend to cry
i had to go to work on friday
and everyone knew
something was wrong
something was wrong
something's still wrong
why did she leave me here like this?
why did she leave me here like this?
why did she leave?
why did she go?
why did she say those things?
where is her heart?
all compassion removed from her
why didn't she wait till friday?
i would have had the whole weekend to cry
i had to go to work on friday
and everyone knew
something was wrong
something was wrong
something's still wrong
why did she leave me here like this?
why did she leave me here like this?
why did she leave?
why did she go?
why did she say those things?
where is her heart?

Weather Forecast
across the hail
across the snow
this terrible thaw will take us low
you know the pain is drifting away when things start melting down in your heart.
how do you feel when you're without me?

I'm your man
ladies and... ladies... the great Leonard Cohen.
...
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner
Take my hand
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
And if you want a doctor
I'll examine every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
You know you can
I'm your man
The moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
The beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
But a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please, please
I'm your man
And if you've got to sleep
A moment on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll disappear for you
If you want a father for your child
Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand
I'm your man
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
...

The Crack
suddenly... there was calm.
i knew it wouldn't last too long, so i decided to kill everything i loved and move forward.
mabe god is watching. maybe he's listening. maybe he doesn't exist, and now my loved one is just dead.
i sure hope god exists.
