Me and Mr. Dylan on the ride home
We had a heart-to-heart about life
But neither him or me could decide for ourselves if we wanted to outlive that night
Like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
Abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
If only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
What a wonderful world this could be!

The Receiving End by Streetlight Manifesto

So Marigold, my love, you’ve had too much to drink
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that’s all that we have left
No one is looking out for anyone but number one

One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance
Though sour grapes will turn to wine its all just vinegar with time
And oh, I want to know, we all want to know
How can anybody treat somebody so?

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that’s just the way that it goes

And when he left us he said, “It’s not so bad.
That motherfucker he took everything we had
And when I’m thinking back, I’m counting all the ways
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: “Yeah, that’s just the way that it goes.

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we’re just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain’t right
Because you don’t know what it’s like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don’t know what it’s like
to be on the receiving end of it all

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can’t quite save themselves?

So Marigold, someday we’ll have to write a script
But I won’t stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did
Dropped out of every single friendship that you had
They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back

Tell me of your sorrows; tell me everything from the start
I’d like to do my part to help a friend in need
I said you could come to me, but when you needed someone most, I wasn’t there,
I wasn’t even…

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that’s just the way that it goes

And when he left us he said, “It’s not so bad.
That motherfucker he took everything we had
And when I’m thinking back, I’m counting all the ways
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: “Yeah, that’s just the way that it goes.

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we’re just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain’t right
Because you don’t know what it’s like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don’t know what it’s like
to be on the receiving end of it all

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you

can we all just take a moment and look at how brilliant this cover is?
like, ok yeah I know that I’m not the first one to notice this, but I think the fact that they managed do get every single song on the album represented on the album artwork is just fantastic. I guess I didn’t really take the time to look at it closely before, but yeah. Brilliance.

The Streetlight Manifesto cake I made for Nyk for Valentines Day. It didnt turn out as well as I had hoped, but it still looks pretty good.

Annie’s tired of forgetting about today
and always planning for tomorrow
Tommorow and she says, “The saddest day i came across was
when I learned that life goes on without me”
Without me and she says, “If everyone has someone else,
then I ain’t got nobody’s love to save me”
Save me and she says, “I think I’ll pass away tonight,
‘cause it seems I’ll never get it right, it’s just me” Annie says!

when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you’re tired of living
and feel like you might give in
well don’t
It’s not your time

And even if it was so
Oh I wouldn’t let you go
you could run run run run but I will follow close
Someday you will say “that’s it, that’s all”
but I’ll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you’re on your own
but just know that I’m here
and I’ll lead you home
if you let me
She said “forget me”
but I can’t

With Flogging Molly, it was a bunch of pissed off poor ass punk rockers, dancing and singing their asses off and you felt the fustration with the way things are; and with Streetlight it’s all about living your life the best you can and trying to get by with the people you love and just live, you know?
My best friend Matt (when asked why Flogging Molly and Streetlight Manifesto were his favorite bands he’s ever seen live.)
