these 4 songs have caught my fancy...i know they are hardly merry but i dunoo i jus like the tune and the lyrics.

DIDO LYRICS"White Flag"
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

ANNIE LENNOX - "Don't Let It Bring You Down" - American Beauty
Old man lyin' by the side of the road
Where the lorries rollin' by
Blue moon sinkin' from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind rippin' on the valley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lyin' by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castle's burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Blind man runnin' through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashin' through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirence moan
White cane lyin' in a gutter in the lane
And you're walkin' home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castle's burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
You will come around

Aimee Mann - Magnolia - 'one'
one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one
'no' is the saddest experience that you'll ever know
yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
yes, because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

it's just no good anymore since you went away
now I spend my time just making thoughts of yesterday
(one by one)
because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
one, is the loneliest number
one, is the loneliest number
one is the loneliest number
that you'll ever do
one is the loneliest number, much worse than two
one is a number divided by two(repeat)

Hoobastank's The Reason
i'm not a perfect person, there are many things I wish I didn't do
but I continue learning. I never meant to do those things to you
and so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know

i've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you

i'm sorry that I hurt, its something I must live with everyday
and all the pain I put you through, I wish that I could take it all away
and be the one who catches your tears, thats why I need you to hear

i'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
and so I hate to say before I go, that I just want you to know

i've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new, and the reason is you
i've found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know
a reason for all that I do, and that reason is you
