Top 5 Songs! (Week Starting 06/07/09)

It's been a pretty dramatic week in terms of my top five, but I think this'll do :)

5. All That I've Got - The Used

I really like the little tinkly guitar bits of this song :p It's pretty cool. I used to be in love with this song a few years back. It's all very good, and has that emotional power that the used can do :p It's actually about Bert's puppy (named "David Bowie") who was hit by a car and died. Interesting times.

Good Lyrics: "So deep, that it didn't even bleed and catch me
Off guard, red handed"

"Hit me and knock me out
And let me go back to sleep"

"[Chorus]
I'll be just fine
Pretending I'm not
I'm far from lonely
And it's all that I've got "

"I guess, I remember every glance you shot me"

"So deep that I didn't even scream "fuck me"

4. From Yesterday - 30 Seconds to Mars

At first I loved this song, then I grew to hate it. Then it came back, and here we are :) However, I have always loved the video, you'll see it sometime (hint hint). It's cool how they have that sort of quietness and then it sounds as if they're really giving it their all. I don't really like any of the lyrics though. Shame.

3. Promise - Eve 6

Yes, it did better than even I expected, Ant shall be pleased :) I like this song because it reminds me a lot of Alkaline trio and that group of bands, yet it has some pretty cool lyrics. Don't care about meaning, look at the lyrics :P

Good Lyrics: "I spit and stutter,
stuff and clutter
worries in my worried corner
maladjusted,
just untrusted,
rusted,
sometimes brilliant, busted thoughts.
Think I'll stay for a while
I'm intrigued and I'm
red as a newborn, white as a corpse."

"I promise not to-try not to-fuck with your mind.
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine.
I promise not to lie if I'm looking you straight in the eye.
I promise not to-try not to-let you down."

"Why you gotta keep the fan on high when it's cold outside?
Just wanna let you know that I'm still a fan, get it?"

2. The New Black - Every Time I Die

Recordddd! This is the first song to be posted three times. Although it's not made it to number 1 yet, it's fast becoming one of my FAVOURITE songs =D So I'm gonna post all the lyrics and seriously recommend it!

"Baby, you got me all wrong
And maybe I am not at all down and out
I'm high and I'm in

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the jaded one with pop insensitivity
When I finish struggling,
We can make our way to the dance floor and stand like strangers
In an elevator stuck between stories
I always find myself in the middle of your stories

With the cameras as a witness I will suffer
With the cameras as a witness I will suffer

If everything I do is wrong
Then by God I'll do it right [x4]

We don't dance no no no
We got class
No we don't have any fun at all
It's the new style and we know it
We're not stunning, we're just stunned

We're lying for a living
We're lying for a living

Don't you know who I am?
I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities
I don't need what I've got half as much as everyone covets it

Well if loving me is wrong,
Then god damn you do it right
Well if loving me is wrong,
Then god damn you do it right

It turns us on,
To turn you down
We're turned on,
To turn you down"

1. Finders Keepers - You Me At Six

Although all the other songs on my list changed this week, this song remained the same throughout, I love the way it's sung. It's amazing. I was listening to it on repeat for a while. It's the way they vary their songs so no two song is similar, it's great. Well deserved second number one for one of my favourite bands.

You've got a nerve
Giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved.
And we'll talk, again when you're sober
You said I've got cold and our heat has gone
I wanna be your eyes so you can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears so you can hear everything that's been missing

Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die

I guess it's a mess
That you make your bed
So why are we still laying in it
And I could barely sleep
I could barely eat
And it's been three whole weeks since I heard you speak
So hard to take that eight months was built to break
Oh I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made
(I bet you're sorry)

Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die

Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
'Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile

And have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave every day you're sober
Do you see what I mean?
Have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need.

Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind
I like secrets
'Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die

Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
'Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile

And I bet you guess me right
(You guess me yes you guessed me right)
I bet you guess me right.
