Pencil Me In

It seems to me I’m never free without conditions
You understand I need a plan - some kind of mission
So pencil me in and I can begin to build around it
The way ahead is good as dead to me without it

If it was up to me
I couldn’t do much more because
The only thing I need
Is a temporary target to shoot for

Well you could say to work this way is too dependent
I say at least it gives me a piece that I can send in
So just pencil me in - give me one thin thread that I can cling to
And with some luck the end result is gonna ring true

If it was up to me
I couldn’t do much more because
The only thing I need
Is someone to give me a target to shoot for

If it was up to me
I couldn’t do much more because
The only thing I need
Is someone to give me something to shoot for

So pencil me in
Do me a favor and pencil me in

Pencil Me In
Tex Beaumont and the Dirty Hearts

Pencil me in for the revolution
I know that I can make a contribution if my diary’s free
If my diary’s free there’s a window of opportunity

Pencil me in for my expiration
Don’t know if I want burial or cremation
Gonna keep my options open
A better offer might come along

Pencil me in
Pencil me in, pencil me
Pencil me in
Pencil me in, pencil me
Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in

Count me in
Count me in
Count me in 100%
Count me in
Count me in
As long as it’s convenient

Pencil me in for Armageddon
Got a good idea just where I’m headin’ that week
Tuesday seems fine till 2,
I’ll check my people – get back to you

Pencil me in
Pencil me in, pencil me
Pencil me in
Pencil me in, pencil me
Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in

pencil me in - noah mclaughlin

she says: i know you are busy, working so hard
but could you pencil me in?
for one brief sighting, one little tryst
could you pencil me in?

he says i have not seen you in over two weeks now
i could pencil you in
for a half hour tuesday, sometime that morning
i could pencil you in

but nothing is certain; tomorrow’s unknown
nothing is set yet: we could be gone

it’s the tenth of september, 2001
would you pencil me in?
for that coffee tomorrow, somewhere downtown
would you pencil me in?

i’m taking a plane ride early tomorrow
can’t even pencil you in
i’m leaving from boston, you’re in manhattan
but i will see you again

this is thing is certain: tomorrow i’ve plans
but the weekend’s not set yet; we could be together again

she woke the next morning, took the first train
penciling him in
worked in the tower, cried over coffee
she had penciled in

he got there too early, cold airport chairs
penciling her in
for the next weekend, on board fate was waiting
everybody got in

nothing is certain, not even box-cutters
nothing is set yet, together again
nothing is certain; tomorrow’s unknown
nothing is set yet: we could be gone

Pencil Me In - Sven Mullet

Missing the forest for the trees is so
Unhealthy for the soul
Running around with a blindfold on
Can really hurt the nose

Don't draw lines
In black and white
Everything is shades of grey
I realise
And I'm never surprised
That you'd pencil me in this way

I'm not one to critisize
The choices we all make
Shameless self-promotion just ain't
A path I wanna take

Don't draw lines
In black and white
Everything is shades of grey
I realise
And I'm never surprised
That you'd pencil me in this way

Pencil Me In - Sausage Boy

twelve bourdons, twelve bourbons, twelve bourons and coke
take your money, take your money, take your money, down to the red light
twelve bourdons, twelve bourbons, twelve bourons and coke
pencil me in, pencil me in, pencil me in for the busty blonde
two minutes, two minutes, two minutes to blow the lot

*When you listen to the song, it should be noted that the way i have included the last line is not some clever vocal technique, it is actually me choking on my own throat. I kept it for reasons stupid and cool.

Remiss- Pencil Me In

The name's Remiss and
gimme a listen
cuz i'm the freshest thing
since deep fried chicken
might not be the best
but i'm persistent
not gold but i glisten
like lando calrissian
i'm a star wars geek
yeah I mentioned Lando
before you turn this off
you need to understand though
let the song play
at least until you've heard more
because it seems lately
there's a dearth of nerdcore
No more talking
bout lamerz and noobs
CT's and wallhax
and rubik's cubes
I'm new to making music
though before, i've played it
burst onto the scene
and i'm glad i made it
though my verse seems
quite formulaic
I'm bringing nerdcore back
just thought I'd say it
Well now it seems
my time's winding down
I've got a lan party
way across town
And i can't be late
cuz i love to lan
and i brought the bawls
for my whole darn clan
you know i've been waiting
the whole song to say this
so pencil me in
give me a spot on your playlist

Inspired by two things. An old sales manager of mine hated the phrase "I'll pencil you in" as he siad it sounded like they weren't really committed to the appointment...could cancel at a whim (and often did!). The second was thinking about commitment and a guy I knew who's girlfriend was so busy with work and being overscheduled that he felt that he was just a time slot in her schedule.....and there blosoms the idea!


Pencil me in – stueym (Nur Ein)

Verse 1
Why’s it so hard, for you to commit
When you talk of love, you better mean it
With you its always if not when
What do you mean, you’re gonna’ ‘Pencil me In’

Chorus
There’s only so much waiting around baby I can do
It's time to grasp the nettle, time to get a clue

Verse 2
Loving with you was easy and free
Now there’s been a change in priority
So one last time let’s try again
Don’t dare say you’ll pencil me in

Chorus
There’s only so much waiting around baby I can do
It's time to carpe diem, the time is overdue

Bridge
Throw away, your schedule dear, tear up your calendar
Ignore those warning bells, put away your fear

Verse 3
Are you scared of pens, can’t you handle it
‘cos you got my fuse burning and lit
Procrastination is a mortal sin
Don’t you say you’re gonna ‘Pencil me in’

Chorus
There’s only so much waiting around baby I can do
Its time to carpe diem, the time is overdue

Instrumental

Reprise Verse 2
Loving with you was easy and free
Now there’s been a change in priority
So one last time let’s try again
Don’t dare say you’ll pencil me in
Don’t dare say you’ll pencil me in
Arrrrrrghhhhhh!

Pencil Me In...

Pencil me in for a taste of excitement
Pencil me in for the time of my life
Pencil me in to remove all the drudgery
To vanquish all the crap and the day to day strife

Pencil me in

Pencil me in for a shopping spree on Oxford street
Pencil me in for a room at the Ritz
Pencil me in for a night of pure debauchery
A night of love a night of lust a night good old sin

Pencil me in

Pencil me in for a holiday in Mexico
Pencil me in for Song Fight Santa Cruz
Pencil me in to take away the greyness
To live my life the way I want and not the way you choose

Pencil me in

Pencil me in to make the world a better place
Pencil me in to get a smaller car
Pencil me in to make a change in government
To send G8 a message that poverty is sin

Pencil Me In

If you put it in pen
I'll regret it again
Because I'm bound to make some mistakes
And it's gonna stink
If it's permanent ink
I might wish that it could be erased

CHORUS

But pencil me in
And I'll do what I can
To ensure I don't act like a flake
Pencil me in
Darling please understand
It's a commitment I'm not sure I should make!

If it's written in lead
It won't mess with my head
If I need to then I can back out
It may seem immature
But I'm really not sure
There's a chance that this all could go south

(REPEAT CHORUS)

I'm unreliable!
I'm stretched too thin!
Pencil me in!

If you put it in stone
Or in blood, or in bone
I'll freak out and I may just shut down
Oh, I want to so bad
and to give this a stab
As it is, my word means nothing now

(REPEAT CHORUS)

clap-clap....clap! clap!
clap-clap....clap! clap!
(repeat..oh god...repeat)

Longing for a fairtale never brought me gold
Gotta head out and find it, or so I've been told
So I'm without you,
But my love is true

Pass the time stirring, and drinking down wine
Dreaming of the moment that you make the sun shine
And all I ask today
Is time to play

(Chorus)
Pencil me for a real good time,
I'm getting wasted, going blind
Waiting for you
Waiting for you

Take our time coming, and hurry on back
Spend the day hummin, spend the night in the sac
So I ask today
For some time to play

Chorus

We'd have a drink, and go downtown
Mark it with ink, and we'll slow right down

Longing for a fairtale never brought me gold
Gotta head out and find it, or so I've been told

Chorus

Pencil Me In (The BeWells)

Watching the rain run down the window
Lost in thought while waiting for you
I nod as the waitress pours another cup
Seated alone at a table for two

Like the last time it's not the first time
You said pencil me in I'll be there
But there's no making up for lost time
Things are written down in ink somewhere

She brings your message with my dinner
An opportunity that couldn't be passed
It's a little more clear that I am
Holding onto something you never grasped

Like the last time it's not the first time
You said pencil me in I'll be there
But there's no making up for lost time
Things are written down in ink somewhere

(instrumental break)

This time for me it's the last time
You say pencil me in I'll be there
There's no making up for lost time
Things are written down in ink somewhere

I'll find that someone somewhere

Pencil Me In
by Ross Durand

You don’t have to mean it, just tell me I can see you again
And I will pretend to believe it, when you say you’ll pencil me in
I know you only got so much time to spend
And you’ll probably use your Ticonderoga to erase me in the end

I didn’t think that you would smile, but you smiled just the same
When I said I’d feel better if you penciled in my name
I don’t know if you were laughing with or at me
But if you put me down then later on we’ll get together and we’ll see

And when you call me saying something has come up
I can chalk it up to my usual bad luck

So I know you might not mean it, when you say I’ll see you again
But I just might choose to believe it, when you say you’ll pencil me in
I hope it’s not too optimistic if I think
That this might just be a time when penciled-in could turn to ink

And if you call me saying things look good
We can thank a few scratches made with lead encased in wood

You don’t have to mean it
Pencil me in
Then tomorrow you will see it
If you pencil me
Just pencil me in
It can’t turn to ink unless you pencil me in

capture your imagination
in your act of creation
i find manifestation

i lie dormant

in comic torment - waiting for you to
pencil me in

'Cause you aks'd nicely:

Pencil Me In - deshead

Saying the wrong thing
has always been my thing.
8 months, I still ain't got it right.
I wouldn't say you're cavin'
or blame you for leavin'.
Believe me, I go through this every night.
  • We're two of a kind, but we're no good together.
    It won't be long
    'til you change your mind, and leave me forever.
    It won't be long.
It's not your fault
that I'm so awful
at telling folks what's on my mind.
I can't unsay the things I've said
but I should add in my defense:
I might have just been loaded at the time.

It's ok if you don't want to commit to us.
I don't mind if you just pencil me in.
I know that I ain't never been good for much,
so it's OK, just pencil me in ...

Brush the teeth
Brew the pot

Punch in the clock

Sort the files
Don't forget to
Wear a smile

Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in

Break for lunch
Have a drink
Freshen up
In the bathroom sink
Go to the meeting
Brief the room
Just be glad
You don't push a broom

Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in
Pencil me in

I sit and watch the days go by
You sit and turn to me to say
You're surer than the try harder way?
How can my mind be mae up today?

Pencil me in to your future plans
Don't pen me down for promises
Pencil me in with the knowledge that
This may fade and go away

We have a great life ticking by
Dont you think its early to assume
There is so much for me to see
Dont decided today
How can my mind be made up today?

Stop with the pressures of _________

Dont Cry
Dont see
The Language
Of me

Pencil me In
Don't Pen me down

Pencil me in lyrics by Jolly Roger

Just pencil me in into your schedule my friend
And maybe just maybe we'll make it to the end

I search for you I call for you
You're always busy when I need you
You tell me that you care for me
But if you care you're never there
You've gone where it's so unfair

Just pencil me in into your heart my friend
And maybe just maybe I'll listen to you then
Just pencil me in into your schedule my friend
And maybe just maybe we'll make it to the end

But don't worry
Graphite isn't lead
Pencils cannot poison you
No more excuses left for you

OOOOOHH OOOOOHH OOOOOHH OOOOOHH

Just pencil me in into your life my friend
Being with you I want that
So at least make eye contact

Just pencil me in into your heart my friend
And maybe just maybe I'll listen to you then
Just pencil me in into your schedule my friend
And maybe just maybe we'll make it to the end

Just pencil me in into your heart my friend
And maybe just maybe I'll listen to you then
Just pencil me in into your schedule my friend
And maybe just maybe we'll make it to the end

pencil me in by the denyer

I rip MC's right and center, fuck the left
I'm a gangster right, leave a bullet in a chest
I arrived late but I always come first
My hardcore rhymes put careers in a hearse
I rock so many mics that I think I'm Dwayne Johnson
Seeing happy days like Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I'm not a biter but I'll copy your flow
When I'm passing out copies of your album download
I'm all up in the mix, two thousand and six
And I just rap well without a gimick or a bit
I'm not a joke like these laughable clowns
I'm just good, I'll sample Kanye West and slow it down
I roll with bangers like my name is mash
I injure rappers like their name is Nash
You can't listen to my raps on a total fire ban
And I'll beat you if you're black, white, green or cyan

Pencil me in for this
I'll rap battle anybody coming out first best
First in best dressed, fuck it I'm last
So I couldn't get pants to even cover my ass
Pencil me in for this
I'll rap battle anybody coming out first best
First in best dressed, fuck it I'm last
So I couldn't get pants to even cover my ass

I keep the club heated like a disco inferno
Fuck the president like that one intern though
My name's Friend so I'm down with Heidenreich
And I only ride beats 'cause I can't afford a bike
How fast can you beat Minesweeper?
Your time might be fast but I bet mine's sweeter
Rappers smoke dope, well I smoke dope rappers
Try to act hard with 50 cents worth of gangster
I'll hit Cali and then it's Knightfall
It seems common sense isn't common at all
I've got metaphores like the Justice League playing cricket
And I know how to spell so I won't claim I'm wickit
I'm not underground, I'm just a nobody
Winning rap battles is my favourite hobby
I'll ride on you fools like you've got a hump back
Saying rhymes so hot that I burned my moustache

Pencil me in for this
I'll rap battle anybody coming out first best
First in best dressed, fuck it I'm last
So I couldn't get pants to even cover my ass
Pencil me in for this
I'll rap battle anybody coming out first best
First in best dressed, fuck it I'm last
So I couldn't get pants to even cover my ass

Sleeper by the den

Fuck you bitch I'm gonna stab your fucking face
I'm gonna piledrive you bitch I'm gonna break your fucking neck
I'm gonna powerbomb you on a pile of motherfucking bricks
I'm gonna come into your house at night and stab your fucking cat
I'm gonna kick your fucking dog over your back fence bitch
I'm gonna cut your fucking tits off and throw them down a well
I'm gonna smash your fucking mailbox and stab you with a rake
I'm gonna come back to your house and burn the mother fucker down
I'm gonna stab your fucking dad I'm gonna stab your fucking sister
Gonna steal your fucking petrol gonna steal your lawn mower bitch
You stupid fucking whore I'm gonna punch you in the face
Why don't you stop fucking everyone you stupid fucking cunt

You could be at work and I'll stab your fucking face
Or you could be at home and I'll stab your fucking face
Walking to the shops and I'll stab your fucking face
You stupid fucking bitch I'm gonna stab your fucking face

SLEEPER
- Tex Beaumont & The Dirty Hearts

Sleeper open up your eyes to the brand new day

Morning,
Get out of bed and drink your coffee, get dressed, get the train to work and then just switch on auto-pilot, you'll be fine
In the evening,
I's the same routine again, only this time in reverse, sonambulate your life away
Then you do it again and again and again
Day after day

Sleeper open up your eyes to the brand new day

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

Sleeper open up your eyes to the brand new day
Sleeper open up your eyes to the brand new day

Sleeper by Jolly Roger

Yesterday when you came to my house
I was as quiet as a creaking window pane
You knew I was home
And that I was all by myself

But I can't get any motivation
No reason to get up out of bed
Sometimes I feel so tired
So I busy myself with nothing

And lately I've been such a sleeper
I've got no reason I've got no rhyme
And every day it seems it's the same
Following myself in my footsteps

But how can I listen to you?
Just a less inverted form of me
You sicken me more than anything
Stop giving directions when you don't know where I'm headed.

But neither do I
So how can I blame you?
How can I make you believe what I'm saying
When I'm doing the same

And lately I've been such a sleeper
I've got no direction - too much time on my hands
And everyday I'm feeling like I'm
Following myself into the quicksand
That I drowned in yesterday

But how can I listen to you
Just a less inverted form of me
You sicken me more than anything
Stop giving directions when you don't know where I'm headed.
