Pretend I'm Tracey Ullman. What's your theme song?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Neurotica : One Thread |
Lately, I keep singing this song over and over to myself. Isn't it nice and hopeful?Compare the best of their days
Yes, it's Mo
With the worst of your days
You won't win
With your standards so high
And your spirits so low
At least remember ...
This is you on a bad day, you on a pale day
Just do your best and don't...
Don't worry, oh
The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair
See the best of how they look
Against the worst of how you are
And again, you won't win
With your standards so high
And your spirits so low
At least remember...
This is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress
Just do your best and don't...
Don't worry, oh
The way you hang yourself is oh, so unfair Just do your best and don't...
Don't worry, oh
The way you watch yourself is oh, so unfair

When I was just a baby, my moma told me 'son, always be a good boy. Don't ever play with guns.' But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. When I hear that whistle blowin, I hang my head and cry.Fulsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash.... the man is a fucking god.

Looking over all the angles Obvious that some ain't right Litter the recycle bin With all the things I'll change tonight That's not wrong It's merely lame There's no need to hide my shame Well I'm tired of slowly sinking Still there's no one else to blame I can't help it I'm a quitter From inside I'm cold and bitter Always out an unbeliever We're not floating in the ether Sick of the illusion That it's sad to ever want to know Taking off then sputtering Whenever it was time to go Well it's not my fault I'll never try I can't even tell you why Well I thought I heard you calling From the corner of my eye(Gas Giants)
At least, that was my consistent theme song a few weeks ago.

I still don't think your closing tag worked, Ali, so I tried too. HOpefully the evil nasty bold is gone now. (=
I have several theme songs, but the one that can pick up my spirits no matter what kind of mood I'm in is...
Doctors have come
From distant cities
Just to see me
Stand over my bed
Disbelieving
What they're seeing
They say I must be one of the wonders
Of god's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation
Newspapers asked
Intimate questions
Want confessions
Reach into my head to
Steal the glory
Of my story
They say I must nbe one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer
No explanation
Oooo
I believe
Fate
Smiled and
Destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
"Know this child will be able."
Laughed as my body she lifted
"Know this child will be gifted -
"With Love, with patience and with Faith."
She'll make her way
She'll make her way
Hey Hey
People see me
I'm a challenge
To your balance
I'm over your heads, how
I confound you
And astound you to know
I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as you can see
You can offer me no explanation

Let's see. I change theme songs just about weekly. What's one that's stuck?
Probably Time's Up by The Residents. It's depressing. I listen to depressing music.
Carry me up to the Sunset, set me on the ground.
I won't be inside the body, but I'll be around.
Soon I'll tip my hat to you and say a sweet goodbye.
Time is running out on me and I don't want to cry.
(chorus)
Left his heart in San Francisco, singing in the rain.
Left his heart in San Francisco singing in the rain.
Even with his mother's blessing, he could not explain,
but he left his heart in San Francisco, singing in the rain.)
Something's coming into focus, something I can't see.
It's covered up with sticky papers, now it's stuck to me.
These are my last words I'm singing, singing in the rain...
Listen
Stability causes cancer, can't you see?
It can only go so far...
Boy, that is depressing. I post another, not quite so depressing, and take up your valuable screen space. Is King of Wingo by They Might Be Giants. (Sorry, Mar.)
Long ago, in a bucket of mud
There was a newborn cell that was hungry for blood.
It was divided by two contrary hearts,
So it divided in two constituent parts.
Then it conflicted some more, and the two became four,
Then there were eight on the scene, and the new one screamed:
I am the King of Wingo, the KING OF WINGO!
I am the King of Wingo, the KING OF WINGO!
I run the mud!
I drink the blood!
I have the parts!
I have the hearts!
I run the mud!
Much better.

"Bitch" by Meredith Brooks
I hate the world today
You're so good to me, I know, but I can't change
Tried to tell you
but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
You must have been relieved to see the softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one
(chorus)
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't have it any other way
So, take me as I am
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured, that when I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
(chorus)
I'm a bitch
I'm a lover
I'm a child
I'm a mother
I'm a sinner
I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't have it any other way

seems lately it would have to be this one...so i'm back to the velvet underground back to the floor that i love to a room with some lace and paper flowers back to the gypsy that i was and it all comes down to you you know that it does when lightning strikes maybe once, maybe twice and it lights up the night you see your gypsy to the gypsy that remains who faces freedom with a little fear i have no fear, i have only love... she is dancing away from you now she was just a wish and her memory is all that is left for you now you see your gypsy... i still see your bright eyes i can't touch you still see your bright eyes

ashley, that's a bunch of open "bolds" --- hope my math wasn't off and i fixed it...
um. songs in my head --- indigo girl's, "ghost"
there's a letter on the desktop that i dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war.
and i start to feel the fever of the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons shadow in my dreams.
oh the mississippi's might but it starts in minnesota
at a place that you could walk across five steps down.
and i guess that's how you started like a pin prick to my heart
at this point you rush right through me and i start to drown.
and there's not enough room in this world for my pain.
signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain.
of all my spirits demons i need you the most.
i'm in love with your ghost...

caroline says are you really sure that you know me i never met you before, can i trust you but she's never cautious, no, never, will she ever learn wil she always send her dreams and poems to imaginary peopleand she's tough, yes, real tough standing right in front of the revelation all of the big city lights may shine on her eternally and caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world and if some one asks her, where do you come from she thinks for a while before she answers
i don't know, i really don't know and she says, there's no destination on this spiral highway i don't know, i really don't know and she says, i can give you names but i can never give you answers
and she says, listen to the music of your soul follow where it's telling you to go, follow in the footsteps of your soul listen to the music, don't you know, it'll lead you where you what to be it's playing there for you and me
caroline says while looking at the polaroid in her hands isn't it strange to remember and when she's out, she never locks the door, she is always like that she could never ever cope with the real life of the ordinary people and she says, hey, listen to this, i should be leaving here tomorrow it's so cold in this city and there's not enough money in the streets and caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world and if some one asks her where do you go to, she thinks for a while before she answers
i don't know...
"Caroline" by Marian Gold...I think these lyrics are from the demo, but they're close enough. I MUST also post the lyrics to my OTHER song!:
driving down the streets, listening to the radio what do i get: ariana reading the papers and the news they scream haven't you heard: ariana she rules the business, she's sucha restless genuine juvenile everyone knows, wherever she goes she got chique, she got class, she got style
arianamaniacs rulr the world, haven't you heard arianamania sets the scenes on fire
we're goin' nutz for ariana we're goin' carazzy forrr herrr everything glows, wherever she goes she got sex from her lips to her toes all the casanovas, even zombies agree with the hummingbirds and the beasts from the sea ariana's a real sensation when will she be on the screeeeeen... umm, "Ariana" by umm, Alphaville ;-)
