DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL - Vindicated Hope dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption Winding in and winding out The shine of which has caught my eye And roped me in So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated [Chorus] I am Vindicated I am selfish I am wrong I am right I swear I'm right I swear I knew it all along And I am flawed But I am cleaning up so well I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself So clear Like the diamond in your ring Cut to mirror your intentions Oversized and overwhelmed The shine of which has caught my eye And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated I am certain now that [Chorus] So turn Up the corners of your lips Part them and feel my finger tips Trace the moment, fall forever Defense is paper thin Just one touch and I'd be in Too deep now to ever swim against the current So let me slip away [3x] So let me slip against the current and let me slip away [4x] [Chorus] Slight hope It dangles on a string Like slow spinning redemption...
Dashboard Confessionals - The Good Fight Consider the odds, Consider the obvious. The martyr is meaningless, The campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces Are the singular proof that it was ever alive. This purchased rebellion has been outbidded, Denounced and rescinded and left to die championless. I begged you not to go. I begged you, I pleaded. Claimed you as my only hope And watched the floor as you retreated. Hope has sprung a perfect dive A perfect day, a perfect lie. A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat. Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight? Basking in your victory, Hollow and alone While you boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen. While you're left with nothing tangible to gain.
Dashboard Confessionals - Again I Go Unnoticed So quiet another wasted night, the television steals the conversation exhale, another wasted breath, again it goes unnoticed. Please tell me you're just feeling tired cause if it's more than that I feel that I might break out of touch, out of time. Please send me anything but signals that are mixed cause I can't read your rolling eyes out of touch, are we out of time? Close lipped another goodnight kiss is robbed of all it's passion, your grip another time, is slack it leaves me feeling empty. I'll wait until tomorrow maybe you'll feel better then maybe we'll be better then so what's another day when I can't bear these nights of thoughts of going on without you this mood of yours is temporary it seems worth the wait to see your smile again out of the corner of your eye won;t be the only way you'll look at me then.

It is isn't it ? when I first head about Columbine, the first thing that ran through my head was Tracy Chapman's "Bang Bang Bang". Talk about prophetic
Dirty Laundry (Don Henley) -------------------------- I make my living off the evening news Just give me something, something I can use People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5 She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry Can we film the operation? Is the head dead yet? You know the boys in the newsroom got a running bet Get the widow on the set, we need dirty laundry You don't really need to find out what's going on You don't really want to know just how far it's gone Just leave well enough alone, keep your dirty laundry Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down Kick 'em when they're stiff, kick 'em all around Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie Love to cut you down to size, we love dirty laundry We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing When it's said and done, we haven't told you a thing We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry

Deadman's Curve (The Carpenters) --------------------------------- The street was deserted late Friday night We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light We both popped our clutch when the light turned green You shoulda heard the wine from my screamin' machine I flew past La Brea down to Crescent Heights And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights He passed me at Doheny and I started to swerve But I pulled her out and there we were at Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve (spoken) Well, the last thing I remember Doc. I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curb I know I'll never forget that horrible sight I found out for myself, that everyone was right Won't come back from Deadman's Curve Deadman's Curve is no place to play Deadman's Curve you best keep away Deadman's Curve I can hear them say Won't come back from Deadman's Curve (anyone has lyrics to Russ Hamilton's 1957 hit "We Will Make Love" ? )
Tom's Diner (Suzanne Vega) --------------------------- I am sitting on the morning At the diner on the corner I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee And he fills it only halfway And before I even argue He is looking out the window At somebody coming in " It is always nice to see you" Says the man behind the counter To the woman who has come in She is shaking her umbrella And I look the other way As they are kissing their hellos I'm pretending not to see them Instead I pour the milk I open up the paper There's a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of And I'm turning to the horoscope And looking for the funnies When I'm feeling someone watching me And so I raise my head There's a woman on the outside Looking inside does she see me? No she does not really see me Cause she sees her own reflection And I'm trying not to notice That she's hitching up her skirt And while she's straightening her stockings Her hair is getting wet Oh, this rain it will continue Through the morning as I'm listening To the bells of the cathedral I am thinking of your voice... And of the midnight picnic Once upon a time before the rain began... I finish up my coffee It's time to catch the train Waiting at the Bunker (Suzanne Vega) ------------------------------------ I am sitting in a bunker In the middle of the desert I am waiting at the border For the man to give the order And the order will come someday And that day I will not argue He is threatening the oil fields So now we threaten him Gee we're really glad to be here Haven't seen a beer since August And the women in this country Hide their faces and their bodies And I think 'bout the day When I was kissing you goodbye And I'm pretending that I'm holding you Instead of my M-1 I opened up the paper, there's a story 'bout a country That's invaded by a madman I had never even heard of Now I'm looking through my night scope And I'm feeling kinda funny Cause I'm feeling someone watching me And so I duck my head There's a sniper 'cross the border Looking over, does he see me No he doesn't really see me Cause it's several thousand meters And I'm trying not to think about The price of Desert Storm Though I know that we will win here They'll be many people dead Though the air war may continue Still Hussein just isn't listening To the - rain of mass destruction I am waiting for their choice
