#1 most emotional song
Sinead O'Connor - Troy
from the album Lion and the Cobra
you must get this album... sinead was once a badass mofo with a serious chip on her shoulder on this album, before she went lullaby and goodnight...at least download Troy, its fucking amazing
lyrics...
I remember it Dublin in a rainstorm sitting in the long grass in summer keeping warm I remember it every restless night we were so young then we thought that everything we could possibly do was right every move stolen from our very eyes I wonder where you went to and tell me when did the light die? you will rise you'll return phoenix from the flame and we will learn and we will rise you'll return being what you are there is no other Troy for you to burn and I never meant to hurt you I swear I didn't mean those things I said I never meant to do that to you next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead oh, and I sure love you what do you want to do? does she need you like I do? do you love her? is she good for you? does she hold you like I do? do you want me? should I leave? I know you're always telling me that you love me but just sometimes I wonder if I should believe oh, I love you God, I love you I'd kill a dragon for you and die but I will rise and I will return the phoenix from the flame I have learned I will rise and you'll see me return being what I am there is no other Troy for me to burn
and you should have left the light on you should have left the light on then I wouldn't have tried you'd never have known and I wouldn't have pulled you tighter no, I wouldn't have pulled you close I wouldn't have screamed "no I can't let you go" if the door wasn't closed no, I wouldn't have pulled you to me no, wouldn't have kissed your face you wouldn't have begged me to hold you if we hadn't been there in the first place but I know you wanted me to be there every look that you threw told me so but you should have left the light on you should have left the light on wouldn't have made it burn away but you're still spitting fire make no difference what you say you're still a liar you're still a liar you're still a liar

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work
please, just listen and you will understand
lyrics...
Pray God you can cope I stand outside this woman's work This woman's world Ooh, it's hard on the man Now his part is over Now starts the craft of the father
I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of stength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said That I never said All the things we should've done Though we never did All the things I should've given But I didn't Oh, darling make it go Make it go away
Give me these moments back Give them back to me Give me that little kiss Give me your hand
I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of strength left I know you have a little life in you yet I know you have a lot of stength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking Of all the things I should've said That I never said All the things we should've done That we never did All the things that you needed from me All the things that you wanted from me All the things I should've given But I didn't Oh, darling make it go away Just make it go away now

Patti Smith - Land
from the album Horses
if you don't have this album you are really missing out. Patti Smith is one of the greatest poets of our time...
lyrics...
The boy was in the hallway drinking a glass of tea From the other end of the hallway a rhythm was generating Another boy was sliding up the hallway He merged perfectly with the hallway, He merged perfectly, the mirror in the hallway
The boy looked at Johnny, Johnny wanted to run, but the movie kept moving as planned The boy took Johnny, he pushed him against the locker, He drove it in, he drove it home, he drove it deep in Johnny The boy disappeared, Johnny fell on his knees, started crashing his head against the locker, started crashing his head against the locker, started laughing hysterically
When suddenly Johnny gets the feeling he's being surrounded by horses, horses, horses, horses coming in in all directions white shining silver studs with their nose in flames, He saw horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses. Do you know how to pony like bony maroney Do you know how to twist, well it goes like this, it goes like this Baby mash potato, do the alligator, do the alligator And you twist the twister like your baby sister I want your baby sister, give me your baby sister, dig your baby sister Rise up on her knees, do the sweet pea, do the sweet pee pee, Roll down on her back, got to lose control, got to lose control, Got to lose control and then you take control, Then you're rolled down on your back and you like it like that, Like it like that, like it like that, like it like that, Then you do the watusi, yeah do the watusi
Life is filled with holes, Johnny's laying there, his sperm coffin Angel looks down at him and says, “Oh, pretty boy, Can't you show me nothing but surrender ?” Johnny gets up, takes off his leather jacket, Taped to his chest there's the answer, You got pen knives and jack knives and Switchblades preferred, switchblades preferred Then he cries, then he screams, saying Life is full of pain, I'm cruisin' through my brain And I fill my nose with snow and go Rimbaud, Go Rimbaud, go Rimbaud, And go Johnny go, and do the watusi, oh do the watusi
There's a little place, a place called space It's a pretty little place, it's across the tracks, Across the tracks and the name of the place is you like it like that, You like it like that, you like it like that, you like it like that, And the name of the band is the Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes, Twistelettes
Baby calm down, better calm down, In the night, in the eye of the forest There's a mare black and shining with yellow hair, I put my fingers through her silken hair and found a stair, I didn't waste time, I just walked right up and saw that up there -- there is a sea up there -- there is a sea up there -- there is a sea the sea's the possibility There is no land but the land (up there is just a sea of possibilities) There is no sea but the sea (up there is a wall of possibilities) There is no keeper but the key (up there there are several walls of possibilities) Except for one who seizes possibilities, one who seizes possibilities. (up there) I seize the first possibility, is the sea around me I was standing there with my legs spread like a sailor (in a sea of possibilities) I felt his hand on my knee (on the screen) And I looked at Johnny and handed him a branch of cold flame (in the heart of man) The waves were coming in like Arabian stallions Gradually lapping into sea horses He picked up the blade and he pressed it against his smooth throat (the spoon) And let it deep in (the veins) Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities It started hardening Dip in to the sea, to the sea of possibilities It started hardening in my hand And I felt the arrows of desire
I put my hand inside his cranium, oh we had such a brainiac-amour But no more, no more, I gotta move from my mind to the area (go Rimbaud go Rimbaud go Rimbaud) And go Johnny go and do the watusi, Yeah do the watusi, do the watusi ... Shined open coiled snakes white and shiny twirling and encircling Our lives are now entwined, we will fall yes we're together twining Your nerves, your mane of the black shining horse And my fingers all entwined through the air, I could feel it, it was the hair going through my fingers, (I feel it I feel it I feel it I feel it) The hairs were like wires going through my body I I that's how I that's how I I died (at that Tower of Babel they knew what they were after) (they knew what they were after) [Everything on the current] moved up I tried to stop it, but it was too warm, too unbelievably smooth, Like playing in the sea, in the sea of possibility, the possibility Was a blade, a shiny blade, I hold the key to the sea of possibilities There's no land but the land
looked at my hands, and there's a red stream that went streaming through the sands like fingers, like arteries, like fingers (how much fits between the eyes of a horse?) He lay, pressing it against his throat (your eyes) He opened his throat (your eyes) His vocal chords started shooting like (of a horse) mad pituitary glands The scream he made (and my heart) was so high (my heart) pitched that nobody heard, No one heard that cry, No one heard (Johnny) the butterfly flapping in his throat, (His fingers) Nobody heard, he was on that bed, it was like a sea of jelly, And so he seized the first (his vocal chords shot up) (possibility) (like mad pituitary glands) It was a black tube, he felt himself disintegrate (there is nothing happening at all) and go inside the black tube, so when he looked out into the steep saw this sweet young thing (Fender one) Humping on the parking meter, leaning on the parking meter
In the sheets there was a man dancing around to the simple Rock & roll song

Broken Social Scene "Lover's Spit" [Leslie Feist Vocals]
Where can I get a copy of this song? I love it but I've never heard it with Feist's vocals. It is on any offical releases.
thanks, carla

Heres the info Carla:
Broken Social Scene · Bee hives (arts & crafts/EMI - 2004)
“Lover’s Spit (redux)” also heard on You Forgot it in People is sparse, recorded this time with Leslie Feist during a UK radio session. This version, accompanied only by piano and a shivery cymbal seems all the more weary, far more torch and similar to a Cat Power in tone.
