Spelling is fun! Girl, there ain't no I in "team" But you know there is a "me" Strike the band up, one, two, three I promise that you'll never find another like me Girl, there ain't no I in "team" But you know there is a "me" And you can't spell "awesome" without "me" I promise that you'll never find another like Me-e-e (yeah), ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (and I won't stop, baby) I'm the only one of me (I'm the only one of me) Baby, that's the fun of me (baby, that's the fun of me) Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (oh) You're the only one of you (oh) Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e Girl, there ain't no I in "team" (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) But you know there is a "me" I'm the only one of me (oh-oh) Baby, that's the fun of me (Eeh-eeh-eeh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Strike the band up, one, two, three You can't spell "awesome" without "me" You're the only one of you Baby, that's the fun of you And I promise that nobody's gonna love you like me-e-e OR Fourteen years Thirty minutes Fifteen seconds I've Held this grudge Eleven songs Four full journals Thoughts of punishment I've expended Not in contact Not a letter Such communication Telepathic You've been vilified Used as fodder You deserve a piece Of every record But who's it hurting now? Who's the one that's stuck? Who's it torturing now With an antique knot in her stomach? I want to be big and let go Of this grudge that's grown old All this time I've not known How to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved Clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us Like an abandoned house Dusty covered Furniture Still intact If I visit it now Will I simply re-live it Somehow gratuitous But who's still aching now? Who's tired of her own voice? Who is it weighing down With no gift from time of said healing I want to be big and let go Of this grudge that's grown old All this time I've not known How to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved Clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us Maybe as I cut the cord Veils will lift from my eyes Maybe as I lay this to rest Dead weight off my shoulders will rise Here I sit Much determined Ever ill-equipped To draw this curtain How this has entertained Validated And has served me well Ever the victim But who's done whining now? Who's ready to put down This load I've carried longer than I had cared to remember I want to be big and let go Of this grudge that's grown old All this time I've not known How to rest this bygone I want to be soft and resolved Clean of slate and released I want to forgive for the both of us Choose carefully!
Steve Johnson Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I walked through the door with you The air was cold But something about it felt like home somehow And I, left my scarf there at your sister's house And you've still got it in your drawer even now Oh, your sweet disposition And my wide-eyed gaze We're singing in the car, getting lost upstate Autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place And I can picture it after all these days And I know it's long gone and that magic's not here no more And I might be okay but I'm not fine at all 'Cause there we are again on that little town street You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me Wind in my hair, I was there I remember it all too well Photo album on the counter Your cheeks were turning red You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team You told me 'bout your past thinking your future was me And I know it's long gone and there was nothing else I could do And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to 'Cause there we are again in the middle of the night We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light Down the stairs, I was there I remember it all too well, yeah And maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well And you call me up again just to break me like a promise So casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here 'Cause I remember it all, all, all Too well Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it I'd like to be my old self again But I'm still trying to find it After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone But you keep my old scarf from that very first week 'Cause it reminds you of innocence And it smells like me You can't get rid of it 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well Wind in my hair, you were there, you remember it all Down the stairs, you were there, you remember it all It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well
byzantium Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I have reviewed the evidence and come to the determination that it is Taylor.
Sugden Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 jagged little pill is better than anything taylor has ever done, but i feel like she is more consistent
Steve Johnson Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This dorm was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me" How evergreen, our group of friends Don't think we'll say that word again And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through One for the money, two for the show I never was ready, so I watch you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you "She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's ****** in her head, " they said But you'll find the real thing instead She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred 'Cause I knew you Steppin' on the last train Marked me like a bloodstain, I I knew you Tried to change the ending Peter losing Wendy, I I knew you Leavin' like a father Running like water, I And when you are young, they assume you know nothing But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long 'Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasin' shadows in the grocery line I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standin' in my front porch light We gather here, we line up Weepin' in a sunlit room, and If I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe All the hell you gave me? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you 'Til my dying day I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And you're the hero flying around, saving face And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring You know I didn't want to have to haunt you But what a ghostly scene You wear the same jewels that I gave you As you bury me I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet And I can go anywhere I want Anywhere I want, just not home And you can aim for my heart, go for blood But you would still miss me in your bones And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky) And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies) I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same Cursing my name, wishing I stayed You turned into your worst fears And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain Crossing out the good years And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet

OT: Taylor Edited May 31, 2022 by Steve Johnson
Brikenbur Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Alanis. Taylor has sung about that same boy throwing pebbles at her window since ST. It’s time to move on and grow up.
Bloodflowers. Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 One day, I'll find relief I'll be arrived And I'll be friend to my friends who know how to be friends One day, I'll be at peace I'll be enlightened, and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt One day, I will be healed I will gather my wounds, forge the end of tragic comedy I have been running so sweaty my whole life Urgent for a finish line And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete One day, my mind will retreat And I'll know God And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day One day, I'll be secure Like the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries I have been running so sweaty my whole life Urgent for a finish line And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete Ever unfolding Ever expanding Ever adventurous And torturous And never done One day, I will speak freely I'll be less afraid And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art One day, I will be faith-filled I'll be trusting and spacious, authentic and grounded and home I have been running so sweaty my whole life Urgent for a finish line And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Bloodflowers. Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 The RANGES of topics Alanis wrote about throughout, just reading her AZlyrics page, wow, she is truly one of a kind artist
The7thStranger Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 I like both. I relate more to Alanis and love more of her records.
What_A_Mess Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Both are amazing. I’ll have to say Taylor only because she has more songs in my Spotify playlist.
Shendelzare Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 so alanis can only compete with Taylor's worst song.. got it!
Bloodflowers. Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 Welcome back insomnia Ushered back into silence only when everyone else is sleeping And 'cause the city is sleeping No one ruthless is rushing to get to the front of the line as usual 'Cause I am losing the plot I am grieving the end of superwoman-ing I have laid down my cape As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths As though I have not been reborn to notice that My mission is not dead yet I'm exhausted midas Reigniting a hunger that typically fuels those of us Still searching for something outside ourselves 'Cause this city bears violence And everybody is rushing to sob at the podium And thank the ones who loved and exploited well I am losing the plot I am grieving the end of superwoman-ing I have laid down my cape As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths As though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet The light at the end of the tunnel The one I have always prayed for is a train At a hundred miles per hour And it promises to break my bones if I don't stand still Rip my heart out ambition mill or bust With my relevance in dust And I am losing the plot I am grieving the end of superwoman-ing I have laid down my cape As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths As though I haven't been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead As though this fame and pressure has not been a vice around my head As though my heart has not kept all my cynicism under the mattress And I can't keep it up Though the fire is not out yet I am losing the plot The good sis was going through some things

Shendelzare Posted May 31, 2022 Posted May 31, 2022 Just now, Bloodflowers. said: A random album track competing with a LEAD single of 7TH ALBUM, worrying so the LEAD is supposed to be the best song of an album?
Bloodflowers. Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 1 minute ago, Shendelzare said: so the LEAD is supposed to be the best song of an album? Not really but it's the most strongest song an artist decides to put out to represent their whole album, and this is from seventh (7th) album so you'd think being a songwriter for this long in the game would put out a respectable song out, no?
Bloodflowers. Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 So I guess everybody here then agrees that "Tapes" songwriter is the winner? I haven't seen any feedback that would say otherwise!
