Looking 4 U

[iVeg]

LOOKING 4 U – inflatable vegetables

Full moon thru the palm fronds
Distant torches flicker
Scattered conversations, eye don’t hear your laugh
Unfamiliar people
Under-lit by cell phones
Blue-faced demons walking on the beach path

Tiare at her right ear
Floral print pareo
Dancing slowly in the humid summer air
Fingers on my shoulder
Lingers, getting bolder
Says she’s kinda drunk but eye’m outta there

Cuz eye was

Looking, Looking 4 U
Scanning faces, chasing leads, checking our familiar places
Looking, Looking 4 U
Someday eye’m gonna let you go

Sunlight thru the shutters
Cotton sheets like butter
Street noises children’s voices eye lie awake
Half the bed is empty
Silences surround me
Spilling like the milk onto my corn flakes

Nature hates a vacuum
Naked in the bathroom
Icy shower pay the price to stay alert
Abandoned cans of hairspray
Backing down the driveway
Scoping out corners on my way to work

Cuz eye’m still

CH

Gaze at broken pictures on the mantle place
Remember how the shadows raced across your back
Attack me when eye close my eyes, dismember me in dreams
Tho eye can’t find you anywhere, it seems eye can’t stop looking

Looking 4 U - Paco del Stinko

I've been looking 4 U for so long
You used to fill my head with a song
You made me dance until dawn
Made me do all kinds of wrong
But now baby you're nothing but gone

I used to find you pretty, I used to find you smart
Your humor oh so witty, your temper tore me apart
Then one day in Spring you took yourself away
The faint echoes of a hymn a star twinkled out in space

I've been looking 4 U for so long
You used to fill my heart with a song
You made me dance until dawn
Made me do all kinds of wrong
But now baby you're nothing but gone

You used to tell me stories, you used to hug me and cry
Your laugh could floor me, your touch a lullaby
Then one day in Spring you could not be found
The birds would not sing trees bowed to the ground

I've been looking 4 U for so long
You used to fill my heart with a song
You made me dance until dawn
Made me do all kinds of wrong
But now baby you're nothing but gone

I drifted awake one night with you stroking my hair
Backlit by moonlight I couldn't believe you were there
I reached up to touch your face and you faded away
Everything fell back into place and there was nothing left to say

I used to find you pretty, I used to find you smart
Your humor oh so witty, your temper tore me apart
Then one day in Spring you took yourself away
The faint echoes of a hymn a star twinkled out in space

I've been looking 4 U for so long
You used to fill my heart with a song
You made me dance until dawn
Made me do all kinds of wrong
But now baby you're nothing but gone
Now baby you're long gone

Macaque Attack - 'Looking 4 U'
-------------------------------------

Verse 1
I spent so long,
Many weeks, many months,
Looking for you,
Once you'd gone

Why did you run,
I wouldn't harm anyone,
Well not so much,
Just for fun

Break 1
(Took all of my time,
For me to find)

Verse 2
A perfect tease,
I watched you for weeks,
Feminine chic,
Elegant breeze,

Why did you leave,
Your exit so swift,
I've had to cope,
So much grief

Chorus
Did you think any stone would go unturned,
In my search,
Once our love was adjourned,
When my heart had been burned,
How I hate being spurned

Verse 3
Why would you lie,
Saying all of those things,
So many myths,
In your mind

You did not cry,
As you bit on your lip,
Love not fear,
In your eyes

Break 2
(Took all of my time,
For me to find)

Verse 4
What should I do,
Now that I am through,
Looking for you,
So confused

Maybe I've proved,
That my love is true,
You'll acquiesce,
And be moved

Chorus 2
Did you think any stone would go unturned,
In my search,
Once our love was adjourned,
When my heart had been burned,
How I hate being spurned

Chorus End
Why did you go - repeated

Praise Muzak's "Looking 4 U"
---
When I went looking 4 u
In the cosmetics section of Kroger
I found something to hold to
Beneath the lights and a mirror
Looking to make your skin clearer
To wonder if I could see through you
To see myself in your molecules

If you could understand that you are understood
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself)

I am a man
No I’m a human
You sent me off
To find some cumin
So we could make stew
So we could roast some chickpeas
There are so many things that we could make

If you could understand that you are understood
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for myself)
If I could understand that I am understood too
(I’m in love with the love that I feel for everyone else)
I wouldn’t have to do all the silly things that I do

Like putting these French fries in my nostrils
Like they’re my antennas and I’m looking 4 u
Looking for a signal
Looking for something better to do
Than to live my life without you

[Merle Fyshwick]

The Magnetic Letters (feat. J.C. Carcharias)

I'm looking 4 U, baby, up there in the sky
Now I know that there's rhythm in heaven
And the angels are dancing, reflecting the light
That you've given, ah ah

Oh Torsten, baby, you had a dream
To get your song to number one
You made your dream come true
But six months later you were gone

Making friends in New York City
Flying home and into town
You were only 29, maybe you should have slowed it down

Frankfurt Airport, see the dancefloor
Watch the people bump and grind
To the sound, to the rhythm of the Culture Beat
You, you can't deny that my man named Torsten
Built this city on a synth and a prayer
From the lab to the club he was always driving
Day and night, no time for sleep
No time for planning his great departure

Fantasizing's what we do
But fantasies can go too far
You fell asleep and dreamed
While you were driving home in your car

Mr Fenslau, Mr Vain
In his lady's Mercedes he was drifting
In and out of sleep and a second's all it takes
When you're wearing no safety belt
To break a body, break a heart, Now break a leg
My brother, thou art in heaven so
Turn it up to eleven and crank the strobe lights up to the max

I'm looking 4 U, baby, up there in the sky
Now I know that there's rhythm in heaven
And the angels are dancing, every night
That you're playing, ah ah

Looking 4 U - Saltwinter Waltz
(A folkwaltz project by Pepper Jane and Micah Sommer)

This mad world of bad turns and loose-lipped intentions
Isn't as strong as my love
A lad learns less from stern words than other implications
But take time as long as you want

When my temper runs short I picture your patience
When I proffer much talk, my ears hear your silence
You are a grand earthly model for me
Showing me who I am wanting to be
So I'm keeping on, looking 4 U

This distance for instance, this time space continuous
Isn't affecting my lungs
I still breathe you in with no gratuitousness
Remembering the best of us once

When my vision runs short I look to the space beside me
Though you seldom talk, it's your presence that guides me
You are a respected example for me
Showing me who I am wanting to be
So I'm keeping on looking 4 U

Do what you must, I'll receive you without fuss
I'm keeping on looking 4 U

May God guide your footsteps
And I'll take what is left
At the end of looking U
At the end of looking 4 U
I'm keeping on looking 4 U

(I think I sang respectful instead of respected, and keep instead of keeping, but this is the official transcript!)

Looking 4 ULP - Pepper John
(haven't heard it so can't yet describe the nature of this project by lowly tingle (me)and Notable Hylian Sir j$)
(Sung lyrics are probably a loose interpretation)

I'm heading down to Carolina
Feels like I've been this way a hundred times before
This ole big-hearted woman
She's thirsty and a-lookin to score

Chorus 1
I'm lookin 4 ULP
Without it this drive just ain't happening
Tearing up the highway but I can't got over 90
Trying to squeeze more miles out before empty

I'm going up to California
On the boulevard of broken down gasoline dreams
Those yuppy Tesla and diesel limos inescapable
Mean my supply ain't what it used to be

Chorus 2
I'm lookin 4 ULP
It ain't as easy as it used to be
Coast in up the highway while others drive right by me
Pedal down, like mine used to be

I'm going over to Montana
Their backwardness just might appease me
A gas station comes in view ahead
But too many others got there first instead

Chorus 3
I'm lookin 4 ULP
A simple search a distant memory
It really ain't so hard, I just wanna fill my car
With dirty ULP


There's no glory
Lookin 4 ULP

(Now that I write this I realise the gravity of my cultural incongruencies)
