The White Stripes... Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground... A Perfect Lyric

A Perfect Lyric


I love this entire album!

This one tune though
is by far THE coolest
"love letter"
to any girl... eva!!

It doesn't sound lovey dovey but yet...
it is!

It's really one of my favorite songs
and albums as well!

From start to finish...
brilliant!

And this one lyric... wow!
If you do not feel this way
about YOUR chick...
then she's NOT the right girl for you!!!




The White Stripes... White Blood Cells
White Blood Cells


Dead Leaves and the dirty ground
When I know you're not around
Shiny tops and soda pops
When I hear your lips make a sound
When I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
Will tell you that I'm coming home
And I think I'm gonna stick around
For a while so you're not alone
For a while so you're not alone

If you can hear a piano fall
You can hear me coming down the hall
If I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
Don't think I need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I wanna give you what'cha give to me
And every breath that is in your lungs
Is a tiny little gift to me
Is a tiny little gift to me

I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down
Then I come home
No one to wrap my arms around
Wrap my arms around

Well any man with a microphone
Can tell you what he loves the most
And you know why you love at all
If you're thinking of the Holy Ghost
If you're thinking of the Holy Ghost

REO Speedwagon... Keep Pushin'... Song of the Moment




Song of the Moment





I've heard this song a thousand times...
but yesterday was the very first time...
I "heard"... this song! LoL

The song is about, how over time,
you learn who "you"... are.
Through thick 'n thin
through those learning experiences
about living alone, heartache and such.

They all make you stronger...
They make you...
PUSH ON!

But...
no matter what shitstorm
you are living through at the moment...
you can use THIS song...
and those fucking words...
KEEP PUSHIN' ON...
to move yourself forward in life.
To get you past the present bullshit
you're dealing with
and get your crazy train...
back...
on those fucking tracks!!!!!!

You don't have to be alone
or be going through some sort of heartache
to put this fucking song to work...
for you!

Just plug in YOUR...
situation!

This happened to me yesterday lol
And for the first time
I actually got caught up in the words
and plugged them into my slight horror show
and it actual pumped me up
until I finally punched myself out of
my little situation!
So fuckin' cool!

The lightbulb finally...
turned on above my head!!

Saw these guys last year at PNC in New Jersey
along with Loverboy and Styx.
ALL THREE bands were
fucking spectacular!!
I shit you not.
STILL!!

Of course many of the original
guys are no longer there but...
they were really STILL...
fuckin' awesome!



REO Speedwagon... REO... released in 1976... and was their sixth studio album

Go ahead...
listen to this song...
for the very first time...
all over... again!!




I used to be lonely
'til I learned about livin' alone
I found other things to keep my mind on
And I'm gettin' to know myself
a little bit'a better

Woah...
I keep pushin' on
I keep pushin' on... yeah

Goin' through all the changes
I made so many mistakes
Oh yes I did
Tryin' to leave behind the heartaches
And sometimes I think
I was a little bit crazy
Oh yeah

Woah... I keep pushin' on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'... on
Keep pushin' on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
You know ya got to be strong
Keep pushin'... on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin'... on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Keep pushin' on... yeah

Well it's comin' together
I finally feel like a man
Oh yes I do
I never thought that I'd be where I am... oh
Every day I wake a little bit'a higher

Woah... I keep pushin' on... oh yeah

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'... on
Keep pushin' on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Well you know you got to... got to
Be so strong
Keep pushin'... on


Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Well even if you think your strength is gone
Keep pushin'... on

Keep pushin'
Keep pushin'
Keep pushin' on
Oh woah yeah
