Subject: Ahem...new subject... music with a message Author: Katy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:43:55 09/23/04 Thu I've been listening to a lot more music lately. Mostly as a result of my having a paper route now. I deliver the Daily Oklahoman from about 2 to 5:30 am, and get 2-3 hours sleep before I go and a couple after, so music that keeps me awake is important. I usually listen to Alternative Rock radio stations ~ guess who's responsible for that ~ and I have come upon lots of new music in the last couple of months, some by bands I've heard about for years through Will, Ashley, and Rachel but didn't really know what their music was like. Hoobastank, a band Will has listened to for a long time is my new favorite.The subject of this post however is that many of the songs are socially relevant. That's something we haven't had much of since the 60's with the exception of early punk music, i.e.The Sex Pistols, and the all depressing Grunge rock movement(I do like Nirvana) which has faded away now. I'm surprised to find this has happened so quietly. It took me awhile to really start listening to the lyrics, and now I'm just blown away that so much that is socially concious is being said, and as a result absorbed by lots of people..and they're not all gen x & y'ers. So I'm going to post the lyrics of a couple songs but it will make more sense if you go listen to the songs which is quite easy to do on the net. I hope some of the rest of you will reciprocate with some lyrics or song titles and the subject. I feel some serious 60's channeling going on... "Same Direction" by Hoobastank Whenever i step outside, somebody claims to see the light It seems to me that all of us have lost our patience. 'cause everyone thinks they're right, And nobody thinks that there just might Be more than one road to our final destination But i'm not ever going to know if i'm right or wrong 'cause we're all going in the same direction And i'm not sure which way to go because all along We've been going in the same direction I'm tired of playing games, of looking for someone else to blame For all the holes in answers that are clearly showing For something to fill the space, was all of the time i spent a waste 'cause so many choices point the same way i was going..... So why does there only have to be one correct philosophy? I don't want to go and follow you just to end up like one of them And why are you always telling me what you want me to believe? I'd like to think that i can go my own way and meet you in the end. But i'm not ever going to know.......... American Idiot by Green Day Don't want to be an American idiot. Don't want a nation under the new media. And can you hear the sound of hysteria? The subliminal mindfuck America. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. Well that's enough to argue. Well maybe I'm the faggot America. I'm not a part of a redneck agenda. Now everybody do the propaganda. And sing along in the age of paranoia. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. Well that's enough to argue. Don't want to be an American idiot. One nation controlled by the media. Information age of hysteria. It's going out to idiot America. Welcome to a new kind of tension. All across the alien nation. Everything isn't meant to be okay. Television dreams of tomorrow. We're not the ones who're meant to follow. Well that's enough to argue. Wake Up (Make A Move) by Lostprophets So are we lost or do we know Which direction we should go Sit around and wait for someone to take our hands and lead the way Cause every day we're getting older And every day we all get colder We're sick of waiting for our answers Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move Are we meant to take the pain Should we sit around and wait Are we being saved Or was I another lie you made to make us hate Cause every day we're getting older And every day we all get colder We're sick of waiting for our answers Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah so tired of waiting, waiting for us to Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah so sick of waiting, for us to make a move Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, And we will never lose Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, it's time to make a move Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, And we will never lose Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, it's time to make a... move! It's not enough To let it run Where's the truth It's all wrong So sick of waiting for our answers... Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah I'm so tired of waiting, waiting for us to Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Yeah I'm so sick of waiting, for us to make a move Wake up, wake up, wake up And we will never lose Wake up, wake up, wake up It's time to make a move Wake up, wake up, wake up And we will never lose Wake up, wake up, wake up Make a move (move, move, move, move). By the way I left a long post on the 'who are you voting for' thread too if anyone wants to read it..AND, I have signed up to volunteer to help the Kerry campaign through a group associated with the Vote for Change Tour. I'm going to spend a couple hours calling women in W. Va. to find out who they are voting for, as my first 'assignment'. I've wanted to work with a campaign for a long time so this feels GOOD!

All the new music I like is cynical headbanger music. Who knew? Of course even when they actually have something to say I generally don't agree with them but I do like a good, loud, driving beat and a powerful voice with some kind of irregular twist. Godsmack's "Voodoo" and "I f**kin' hate you" are my current favorites. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I like Nickleback and Godsmack as well. Cynical lyrics absolutely. Hey have you seen Grosse Pointe Blank? Great movie AND music(even though it IS 80's music)..very cynical. I love it!

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Ahem...new subject... music with a message Author: michael [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:14:46 09/25/04 Sat Yep. I like John Cusack movies generally. I liked his character in "Say Anything" too though the movie was unspectacular, and he was excellent in "Being John Malkovich". I haven't seen "Grosse Pointe Blank" in too long to remember the music. For a first rate soundtrack tho', try "The Punisher". The whole thing is head banger stuff except for one song that one of the characters sings to the protagonist in the movie just before he tries to kill him. I forget who gets the credit for this CW ballad, but it goes kinda like: I can hear what you're thinkin', All your doubts and fears. If you look in my eyes In time you'll find The reason I'm here. In time all things shall pass away, In time you may come back someday, To live once more, Or die once more, But in time your time will be no more. You know your days are numbered, Count 'em one by one, Like notches in the handle of an outlaws gun. You can outrun the devil, If you try... But you'll never outrun the hands of time. In time there'll surely come a day, In time you may come back some say, To live once more, Or die once more, But in time your time will be no more, I can hear what you're thinkin...

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Ahem...new subject... music with a message Author: Beth [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:17:40 09/26/04 Sun Grosse Pointe Blank is the best movie ever. EVER. Oh now I have to watch it again. Here's some lyrics: Open Your Eyes by Staind (This isn't one of my favorites, but it does have a message) As I walk along these streets I see a man that walks alone Distant echo of people's feet He has no place to call his own A shot rings out from a roof overhead A crackhead asks for change nearby An old man lies in an alleyway dead A little girl lost just stands there and cries What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do A boy just 13 on the corner for sale Swallows his pride for another hit Overpopulation there's no room in jail But most of you don't give a sh*t That your daughters are porno stars And your sons sell death to kids You're so lost in your little worlds Your little worlds you'll never fix What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything For granted like you do You turn away As I walk along the streets Soaking up the acid rain Underneath the taxi cabs I hear the streets cry out in vain **** There are a gazillion songs out there by people who are mad at their fathers, so I won't include those. U2's songs are usually socially relevant, but I don't listen to them that much. I don't know how socially relevant this song is, but it's one of my favorite Radiohead songs. Radiohead is awesome. Karma Police Karma police arrest this man, he talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge, he's like a detuned radio. Karma police arrest this girl, her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill and we have crashed her party. This is what you get, this is what you get, this is what you get, when you mess with us. Karma police I've given all I can, it's not enough, I've given all I can but we're still on the payroll. This is what you get, this is what you get, this is what you get, when you mess with us. For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself. Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself. For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself. Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself. **** Talk Shows on Mute by Incubus Take a bow Pack on powder Wash 'em out with buzzing lights Pay an audience to care Impress me personality Still and transfixed The electric sheep, Are dreaming of your face Enjoy you from the chemical Comfort of America Come one Come all Into 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera, transaction Quick, your time is almost up Make all forget that they're the moth Edging in, towards the flame Burn into obscurity Still and transfixed the electric sheep are dreaming up your fate And judge you from the card castle comfort of America Come one Come all Into 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera...yeah come one come all into 1984 Yeah, three, two one Lights, camera, transaction Lights, camera, transaction Come one Come all To 1984 Yeah, three, two, one Lights, camera, transaction The foundation is canyoning Fault lines should be worn with pride I hate to say it You're so much more You're so much more Endearing with the sound turned off. **** I like Incubus - especially Megalomaniac.

Something here, lighter and older: I heard from a friend You been messing around, With a cute little thing I been dating up town. Well I don' know if I like that idea much. You better stay clear I might start actin' rough. You out of town guys sure Think you're real keen. Think all of us boys here are Homespun and green. But thats, wrong my friend, So get this though your head. We're tough and we're Texan With necks good and red. Well its ki-yi-yippee-yi-yi You long hairs are sure gonna die. Our American home was clean 'til you came And kids still respected the President's name. And the eagle still flew in the sky. Hearts filled with the national pride. Then you came along with your drug crazy songs... God Dammit you're all gonna die. How dare you sit there And drink all our beer. Its made for us workers Who sweat, spit and swear. The minds of our daughters Are poisoned by you With your communistic politics And them, negro blues. Well I'm gonna quit talkin' And take action now. Run all of you fairies Clean out of this town. 'Cause I'm dog tired of watchin' you Mess up our lives Spendin' the summer time Naturally high. So its ki-yi-yippee-yi-yi You long hairs are sure gonna die Our American home was clean 'til you came And kids still respected the President's name And the eagle still flew in the sky Hearts filled with the national pride Then you came along with your drug crazy songs... God Dammit you're all gonna die. (Texas Love Song by Elton John) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Ok I know this isn't a song, but I have to put it somewhere and I didn't want to start yet another thread just yet: Go HERE. You'll love it. Well, Katy will anyway. That's Zach Braff's blog. (of Scrubs, Garden State . . .) Katy (and whoever else wants to go), we have to see Garden State on Wednesday because it's only here until Thursday and I have class on Tuesday and Thursday. Ok I'm tying this together with music because in one of his blogs, Zach says something about how maybe Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic" was only ironic because there was no irony in it. haha. So there ya go. Haley plays a lot of socially relevant songs. She likes Ani Difranco, and I don't. But here's a good oldie, if we're doing oldies now: Peace Train Cat Stevens Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come And I believe it could be, something good has begun Oh peace train sounding louder Glide on the peace train Come on now peace train Yes, peace train holy roller Everyone jump up on the peace train Come on now peace train Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

"Wow, quite a passionate discourse last week on the subject of irony. And all of you that claim that Alanis intended the song to be ironic cause there's no irony in the song... oh come on! Doesn't that sound like Monday morning quarterbacking? But fear not, I will not ever dare to question your Canadian Songstress again." I knew you'd all care. a lot. =) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Ahem...new subject... music with a message Author: Katy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:16:08 09/27/04 Mon I went looking for lyrics and came up with this...and in case you didn't know Yusaf Islam(Cat Stevens)tried to come into the U.S. last week and was deported back to England. He is being watched because supposedly he has had communication with or has given money to Osama's boys. I hear he's a pacifist but that's neither here nor there at least in regard to this article. HoustonChronicle.com -- http://www.HoustonChronicle.com | Section: Viewpoints, Outlook Sept. 25, 2004, 12:55AM True terror: Cat Stevens comeback By ANDY BOROWITZ Hours after being refused entry into the United States, 1970s recording star Cat Stevens lashed out at the U.S. government Wednesday, vowing to resume his recording career "immediately" as the ultimate act of revenge. Appearing on the Arabic-language satellite TV channel Al Jazeera, a visibly angry Stevens -- now known by the name Yusuf Islam -- threatened to attack the United States with the full force of his insipid folk-rock music. Brandishing an acoustic guitar, the erstwhile pop star warned that "no one in America would be safe from my insidious melodies" before launching into a spirited rendition of his 1971 hit Peace Train. A spokesman for the CIA said experts needed more time to study the chilling video but that it appeared to be authentic: "We do not believe that anyone but the real Cat Stevens remembers the lyrics to Peace Train." On the campaign trail, Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry blasted President Bush for the Cat Stevens incident, saying the president's reckless actions had resuscitated an irritating singer's long-dormant recording career. "When George Bush took office, Cat Stevens was not a threat," Kerry told a rally in Akron, Ohio. "Through a successful policy of containment, his music had mainly been limited to classic-rock stations. But now, thanks to George Bush's misguided decision to provoke Cat Stevens, we may be subjected to renditions of Morning Has Broken and Moonshadow and Wild World for years to come." Aides to Kerry passed out lyrics of songs by Stevens, including this one from 1970: "I wish I knew, I wish I knew; what makes me, me, and what makes you, you. It's just another point of view, ooo. A state of mind I'm going through." For his part, Bush defended the decision, telling a Denver audience: "Cat Stevens is the first front in the war on terror, with Seals and Croft a close second." Borowitz is author of The Borowitz Report: The Big Book of Shockers, to be pblished in October by Simon & Schuster. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Still Yusef agreed with many of his mooslum compatriots that Salman Rushdie needed to be croaked for writing the Satanic Verses so maybe he got over the whole peace and love sixties fad. Here's a lyric worth remembering: Break On Through (To The Other Side) by the Doors You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side We chased our pleasures here Dug our treasures there But can you still recall The time we cried Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Everybody loves my baby Everybody loves my baby She gets, she gets She gets, she gets I found an island in your arms A country in your eyes Arms that chain us Eyes that lied Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Made the scene from week to week Day to day, hour to hour The gate is straight Deep and wide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through, break on through Break on through, break on through Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, . . . ---- Like, deep man. I still dig the Doors. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

He sure doesn't look like a hippy pacifist any more. Here are a few more songs to add to the list: EVERLAST What It's Like We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes "Get a job you f***ing slob," is all he replies God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Then you really might know what it's like... Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of." But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls." And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes 'cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose Chorus I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin I've seen a tough man cry I've seen a loser win And a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie I've seen the good side of bad And the downside of up And everything between I licked the silver spoon Drank from the golden cup And smoked the finest green I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start I knew this kid named Max He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain You know it crumbles that way at least that's what they say when you play the game God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose Then you really might know what it's like...

The wire that holds the cork That keeps the anger in Gives way And suddenly it's day again. The sun is in the east Even though the day is done. Two suns in the sunset Hmmmmmmmmmm Could be the human race is run. Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck "Oh no!" "[scream] Daddy, Daddy!" You stretch the frozen moments with your fear. And you'll never hear their voices And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore. And as the windshield melts My tears evaporate Leaving only charcoal to defend. Finally I understand the feelings of the few. Ashes and diamonds Foe and friend We were all equal in the end. ("...and now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers spreading from the east ... with an expected high of 4000 degrees Celsius") ----------------------- [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I have the "Behind the Music" on him taped, and in it he says he never supported killing Salman Rushdie, and I just saw a clip of him being interviewed about the airplane thing and he said he never gave money to support any terrorists; he said all the charities he gives to are for children or education; things like that. There are millions of peace loving Muslims, you know. He just happens to be a famous one. And before you say he could be lying, well duh . . . of course he could be lying. I'm just telling you what I heard him say. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I apologize. Now when can I watch that "Behind the Music", they never show the good ones anymore on MTV, just Brittany Spears, and J Lo, no real artists who love making good music but hate the plastic life of a rock star like Yusef. Here's one more song - not even a little bit relevant - but a little humorous. 1985 by Bowling for Soup Debbie just hit the wall She never had it all One Prozac a day Husbands a CPA Her dreams went out the door When she turned twenty four Only been with one man What happen to her plan? She was gonna be an actress She was gonna be a star She was gonna shake her ass On the hood of White Snake's car Her yellow SUV, is now the enemy Looks at her average life And nothing, has been, alright Since Bruce Springstein, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2, and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids, in high school They tell her that she's uncool But she still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 Woo-hoo-hoo 1985 Woo-hoo-hoo She's seen all the classics She knows every line Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink Even Saint Elmo's Fire She rocked out to wham Not a big Limp Biscuit fan Thought she'd get a hand On a member of Duran Duran Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin And who's the other guy singing in Van Halen When did reality, become T.V. What ever happen to sitcoms, game shows On the radio was Springstein, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2, and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids, in high school They tell her that she's uncool But she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 Woo-hoo-hoo She hates time, make it stop When did Motley Crue become classic rock? And when did Ozzy become an actor? Please make this stop! Stop! Stop! And bring back Springstein, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2, and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids, in high school They tell her that she's uncool But she's still preoccupied With 1985 Bruce Springstein, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2, and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids, in high school They tell her that she's uncool But she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Alice's Restaurant, the perfect socially relevant song. I have the live version where he's talking at the end about going to Jimmy Carter's inaugural thing and how Chip Carter told him they found his record when they moved in . . . and it was open . . . and that got him to thinking about how many things are exactly 18 minutes and 20 seconds long . . . it's great.

I FEEL LIKE I'M FIXIN' TO DIE RAG by Country Joe and the Fish Yeah! Come on all of you big strong men. Uncle Sam needs your help again. He's got himself in a terrible jam Way down yonder in Vietnam, So put down your books and pick up a gun. We're gonna have a whole lotta fun. And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates. Well, there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopie! We're all gonna die!

There's plenty good money to be made By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade. Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, They drop it on the Viet Cong. And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.

Come on, fathers, don't hesitate, Send them off before it's too late. Be the first one on your block To have your boy come home in a box. And it's one, two, three, what are we fightin' for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam. And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates. Well, there ain't no time to wonder why, Whoopie! We're all gonna die! And the new. Fixin' to Die in Iraq by Randall Bart Come on all you Americans. Bush is President again. He found a guy who's really bad. The name's Saddam. He's in Baghdad. So show some ID, take off your shoes.

And you better learn to speak the lingo Or they'll call you a dirty gringo In them old chili fields back home.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Ahem...new subject... music with a message Author: Beth [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:25:14 10/20/04 Wed Ahh, Bad Company. I didn't used to like them but I do now. WHAT'S WRONG WITH STAIND? STAIND IS GREAT. You just don't know, Rachel. And Evanescence too; they are great. Radiohead is the best. Ever. And Incubus is really good. And Hoobastank and Modest Mouse and . . . there are so many songs I like and don't know who does them. There seems to be a trend though, towards really depressing stuff. Or maybe it's just that I notice it more. Ah, the White Stripes, though, they're not depressing. Switchfoot and Five Iron Frenzy - good stuff. But the oldies, yeah . . . good old stuff. Queen, Pink Floyd and Boston are at the top of my favorites. And the Police. Van Halen is a sentimental favorite, but their lyrics are really stupid, mostly. I just like to listen to Eddie's guitar and Alex's drums. They absolutely sucked in concert. What's your best concert ever? I'd have to say for show quality - Creed was the best; it was amazing. Newsboys are a very close second though because they have this great round drum riser thing. Two drummers sit on it, facing each other, and the whole thing rises up, tips completely sideways and SPINS while the two drummers are playing. It's awesome. It is it is. And the Supertones get points for great brass and ginormous afro wigs and stuff. You'd have to see it. One of the best concerts I've seen though was Carolyn Arends - who I'm sure no one has ever heard of because she's only fairly well known in Christian music, but at the concert it was just her with her guitar and some guy who played a bunch of other instruments, including a mean shaker ball, and it was great. She's very wordy, which I like. During the concert her husband leaned against the light switch and accidentally turned the lights up. Yeah, it was a small concert. OOh and Small Town Poets! They were great too. Another little known Christian band but they played their little hearts out, they did. If Radiohead ever comes near here, I must go. Criminy, I do get carried away don't I? If you read the whole thing, yay for you. =) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Time by Pink Floyd Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death. Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, Thought I'd something more to say. Breath Reprise Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire. Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

But there's all these songs that feed my anger, like this one: Just Like You (by Three Days Grace) I could be mean, I could be angry you know i could be just like you I could be fake, I could be stupid you know i could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you (just like you) Chourus: You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you I could be cold, I could be ruthless you know i could be just like you I could be weak, I could be senseless you know i could be just like you You thought you were standing beside me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you On my own, cause i can't take living with you I'm alone, So I won't turn out like you want me to You thought you were standing beside me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you (just like you) You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you You thought you were there to guide me you were only in my way you're wrong if you think that i'll be just like you I could be mean, i could be angry you know i could be just like you **** Three Days Grace also does "I Hate Everything About You", another good angry one.

I found that every day on my way to work I was singing this one particular song, and now I don't sing it anymore. The song, which will probably be one you've never heard unless you're a major freak of a "Buffy" fan like I am, is one about...well, judge for yourself: (Buffy's opening song, from "Once More With Feeling") Every single night, the same arrangement I go out and fight the fight. Still I always feel this strange estrangement Nothing here is real, nothing here is right. I've been making shows of trading blows Just hoping no one knows I'm just going through the motions Walking through the part Nothing seems to penetrate my heart I was always brave and kind of righteous Now I find I'm wavering Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight just doesn't mean a thing (She ain't got that swing) (Thanks for noticing) (Vampire Chorus: She does pretty well with fiends from hell but lately we can tell She's just going through the motions Faking it somehow She's not even half the girl she...ow...) Will I stay this way forever? Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor? (How can I repay...?) (Whatever.) I don't want to be... Going through the motions Losing all my drive. I can't even see If this is really me And I just want to be Alive. Ah well, it exactly fit what I was feeling this last ten months. So I ditched my job with the agency for a bigger better scarier job, and now, I'm singing a different tune. Goes a little something like this... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAgh! Help! Help! What am I doing here?!!! Who am I kidding? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEkkkkkkk! :-) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Daughters by John Mayer Album : Heavier Things I know a girl She puts the color inside of my world She's just like a maze Where all of the walls all continually change And I've done all I can To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands Now I'm starting to see Maybe it's got nothing to do with me Fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters too Oh, you see that skin? It's the same she's been standing in Since the day she saw him walking away Now she's left Cleaning up the mess he made Fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters too Boys, you can break You'll find out how much they can take Boys will be strong And boys soldier on But boys would be gone without warmth from A woman's good, good heart On behalf of every man Looking out for every girl You are the god and the weight of her world So fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters, too So mothers be good to your daughters, too So mothers be good to your daughters, too [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
