I'm really into the band Superchick and one of my favorite songs by them is One and Lonely, these are the lyrics:
It's not like they meant to hurt me Watchin' TV checkin' Brittney, televised My guys checkin' out her thighs And I roll my eyes and sigh It's not like I even need to be Competeing with unreality, TV fantasy Not for a smart girl like me
Somedays it's hard to be a one girl revolution
Chorus: Sometimes I have good days And it's good to be me Sometimes I get the best of insecurity And it's quite alright to be the one and only But today I feel like The one and lonely
It's not that I don't know beauty Is only skin deep Just the skin I'm in Not the girl within But one imperfection takes away my grin Not that I think I'm ugly But acne throws me for a backslide I won't go outside Make-up can't hide how I feel inside
Somedays it's hard to be a one girl revolution
Reapeat Chorus.
We all have bad hair days Those, nothing good about me days We just keep moving on Cause they'll be gone And we'll still be here going on
We have our yesterdays No lunch cause our jeans don't fit, days We just keep moving Cause they'll be gone And we'll still be here going on
Sometimes I have bad days And it's hard to be me Sometimes I get brought down by insecurity And I have my days where I'm the one and lonely But today I choose to be the one and only
this is my favorite song of all time...it just fits me somehow. its by a band called Live, and its called Run to the Water.
Oh desert speak to my heart Oh woman of the earth Maker of children who weep for love Maker of this birth 'til your deepest secrets are known to me I will not be moved I will not be moved
"don't try to find the answer When there ain't no question here Brother let your heart be wounded And give no mercy to your fear"
Adam and eve live down the street from me Babylon is every town It's as crazy as it's ever been Love's a stranger all around
In a moment we lost our minds here And lay our spirit down Today we lived a thousand years All we have is now
Run to the water And find me there Burnt to the core but not broken We'll cut through the madness Of these streets below the moon These streets below the moon
And I will never leave you 'til we can say, "this world was just a dream We were sleepin' now we are awake" 'til we can say
In a moment we lost our minds here And dreamt the world was round A million mile fall from grace Thank god we missed the ground
Run to the water And find me there Burnt to the core but not broken We'll cut through the madness Of these streets below the moon With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts
Yeah, I can see it now lord Out beyond all the breakin' of waves And the tribulation It's a place and the home of ascended souls Who swam out there in love
Run to the water And find me there Burnt to the core but not broken We'll cut through the madness Of these streets below the moon With a nuclear fire of love in our hearts Rest easy baby, rest easy And recognize it all as light and rainbows Smashed to smithereens and be happy Run to the water (and find me there) Run to the water
Oooh, good songs....well they seem like good songs, I gotta give em a listen before I can say for sure what my opinion is, but judging by the lyrics it all looks like my kinda music. I should post here. Give me a couple hours and I'll post something here.
Keep the noise low. She doesn't wanna blow it. Shaking head to toe while your left hand does "the show me around." Quickens your heartbeat. It beats me straight into the ground.
You don't recover from a night like this. A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless. A hand moves in the dark to a zipper. Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets barely whisper, "This is so messed up."
Upon arrival the guests had all stared. Dripping wet and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs. No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch, unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.
(Up the stairs: the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.)
He keeps his hands low. He doesn't wanna blow it. He's wet from head to toe and his eyes give her the up and the down. His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up. But the body on the bed beckons forward and he starts growing up.
The fever, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell. Die young and save yourself. The tickle, the taste of... It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself.
She hits the lights. This doesn't seem quite fair. Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared. She's breathing quiet and smooth. He's gasping for air. "This is the first and last time," he says. She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like.
He is the lamb, she is the slaughter. She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her. Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect. He whispers that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for...
(Up the stairs: the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.)
So much more than he could ever give. A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He waits for it to end and for the aching in his guts to subside.
The fever, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell. Die young and save yourself. The tickle, the taste of... It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself.
Up the stairs: the station where the act becomes the art of growing up.
The fever, the focus. The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell. Die young and save yourself. The tickle, the taste of... It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up. Die young and save yourself.
Here's one that I really like, it's called Gone and it's by Switchfoot:
She told him she'd rather fix her make-up Than try to fix what's going on But the problem keeps on calling Even with the cell phone gone
She told him that she believes in living Bigger than she's living now But her world keeps spinning backwards And upside down
Don't say so long In the cell phone Don't spend today away Cause today will soon be gone
Chorus: Like yesterday is gone Like history is gone The world keeps spinning on You pretend like you're immortal
She said he said live like no tomorrow Every day we borrow Brings us one step closer to the edge Infinity
Where's your treasure? Where's your hope? Forget the world and lose your soul
She pretends Like she pretends Like she's immortal
Don't say so long You're not that far gone This could be your big chance to make up Today will soon be gone
Like yesterday is gone Like history is gone The world keeps spinning on You're going, going, gone Like summer break is gone Like Saturday is gone Just try to prove me wrong You pretend like you're immortal
We are not infinite We are not permanate Nothing is immediate We're so confident In our accomplishments Look at our decadents
Gone, like Frank Sinatra Like Elvis and his mom Like Al Pachino's cash Nothing lasts in this life my highschool dreams are gone my childhood sweets are gone life is a day that doesn't last for long
Life is more than money Time was never money Time was never cash
Life is still more than girls Life is more than hundred dollar bills And oh the town fills Life more than fame and rock&roll and thrills All the riches of the kings And up in wills
We got information in the information age But do we know what life is Outside of our conveinent Lexus cages
here is my fave.!! By Oasis (Stop Crying Your Heart Out)
Hold up hold on don't be scared You'll never change what's been and gone
May your smile. Shine on. Don't be scared Your destiny may keep you warm.
Cos all of the stars are fading away Just try not to worry you'll see them some day Take what you need and be on your way And stop crying your heart out
Get up. Come on why you scared You'll never change what been and gone
well.....she is not with us anymore..😢 but after a decade her music and song still is great.. Ladies and gents...let me re-introduce/reminding you.

WALKING DOWN MADISON
Walking down madison - I swear I never had a gun No I never shot no-one - I was only having fun Walking down madison - swear I never had a gun I was philosophizing some Checking out the bums
See you give ?em your nickels, your pennies and dimes But you can?t give ?em hope in these mercenary times, oh no And you feel real guilty about the coat on your back And the sandwich you had, oh no
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train It?s not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It?s not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park Oh no it?s not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you?d like to
Walking down madison - I swear I never had a gun No I never shot no-one - wouldn?t do it just for fun Walking down madison - trying to keep my head screwed on I was philosophizing some Checking out the nuns
When you get to the corner don?t look at those freaks Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet, oh yeah The beaming boy from harlem with the airforce coat The ones who died The ones who tried The ones that sit and gloat
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train It?s not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It?s not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps It?s not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you?d like to
Within every city and town there?s a madison Frozen lives for whom nothing?s happening Hungry children is a mother?s dilemma Dumpster diving to feed her baby emma So you walk on by like it doesn?t affect you The held out hand that you pay no respect to Nickels and dimes won?t even buy your guilt Another wino burnt to death in his quilt It?s a cardboard city, newspaper metropolis The system can?t cope or keep on top of this The authorities come as you?re not for display Do they solve the problem no they move him away They?re in a vicious circle of no fixed abode The social won?t pay ?em the money they?re owed When you?ve got no money you can?t pay rent Hypothermia kills ?cos the system is bent
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train It?s not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It?s not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park Oh no it?s not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you?d like to
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the a train It?s not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It?s not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps It?s not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you?d like to
In the subway sits a vacuous man His grip on life is a bent tin can It?s a holy shrine where he burns his light It makes things easy and removes his plight For an hour or two but he can?t escape They?re all penned in with government tape There are good samaritans who bring the soup The sally army with their bibles and boots You can see yourself as it?s not too far One short trip you don?t who they are Till the night comes then it all comes back Like the smell of patchouli and the armies of rats It?s a shame to be human it?s a human shame It seems we?ve forgotten we?re one and the same
Pearls of swine bereft of me Long and weary my road has been I was lost in the cities Alone in the hills No sorrow or pity for the leaving I feel
(chorus) I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky
Friends and liars don't wait for me I'll get on by myself I put millions of miles Under my heels And still too close to you I feel
(chorus) I am not your rolling wheels I am the highway I am not your carpet ride I am the sky I am not your blowing wind I am the lightening I am not your autumn moon I am the night
Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy. red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. lets me see there is so much more and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Something has to change. Un-deniable dilemma. Boredom's not a burden Anyone should bear.
Constant over stimu-lation numbs me and I wouldn't have It any other way.
It's not enough. I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.
Finger deep within the borderline. Show me that you love me and that we belong together. Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I can help you change Tired moments into pleasure. Say the word and we'll be Well upon our way.
Blend and balance Pain and comfort Deep within you Till you will not have me any other way.
It's not enough. I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive.
Knuckle deep inside the borderline. This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to. Relax. Slip away.
Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything. What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me If I really don't feel anything at all?
I'll keep digging till I feel something.
Elbow deep inside the borderline. Show me that you love me and that we belong together. Shoulder deep within the borderline. Relax. Turn around and take my hand.
ive probably post this before but i cant help it.lol
Shedding skin and I've been picking Scabs again. I'm down Digging through My old muscles Looking for a clue.
I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own confused And insecure delusions For a piece to cross me over Or a word to guide me in. I wanna feel the changes coming down. I wanna know what I've been hiding in
My shadow. Change is coming through my shadow. My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking My scabs again.
I've been crawling on my belly Clearing out what could've been. I've been wallowing in my own chaotic And insecure delusions.
I wanna feel the change consume me, Feel the outside turning in. I wanna feel the metamorphosis and Cleansing I've endured within
My shadow Change is coming. Now is my time. Listen to my muscle memory. Contemplate what I've been clinging to. Forty-six and two ahead of me.
I choose to live and to Grow, take and give and to Move, learn and love and to Cry, kill and die and to Be paranoid and to Lie, hate and fear and to Do what it takes to move through.
I choose to live and to Lie, kill and give and to Die, learn and love and to Do what it takes to step through.
See my shadow changing, Stretching up and over me. Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side. Step into the shadow. Forty six and two are just ahead of me.
What's coming through is alive. What's holding up is a mirror. But what's singing songs is a snake Looking to turn this piss to wine.
They're both totally void of hate, But killing me just the same.
The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again. Considerately.
Venomous voice, tempts me, Drains me, bleeds me, Leaves me cracked and empty. Drags me down like some sweet gravity.
The snake behind me hisses What my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me Open up my heart again.
And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me, And considerately killing me.
Without the skin, Beneath the storm, Under these tears The walls came down.
And the snake is drowned and As I look in his eyes, My fear begins to fade Recalling all of those times.
I could have cried then. I should have cried then.
And as the walls come down and As I look in your eyes My fear begins to fade Recalling all of the times I have died and will die. It's all right. I don't mind.
I am too connected to you to Slip away, to fade away. Days away I still feel you Touching me, changing me,
A groan of tedium escapes me, Startling the fearful. Is this a test? It has to be, Otherwise I can't go on. Draining patience, drain vitality. This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.
But I'm still right here Giving blood, keeping faith And I'm still right here.
Wait it out, Gonna wait it out, Be patient (wait it out).
If there were no rewards to reap, No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now. Gonna wait it out.
If there were no desire to heal The damaged and broken met along This tedious path I've chosen here I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.
Be patient. I must keep reminding myself of this.
And if there were no rewards to reap, No loving embrace to see me through This tedious path I've chosen here, I certainly would've walked away by now. And I still may.
Can?t find the answers I?ve been crawling on my knees Looking for anything To keep me from drowning Promises have been turned to lies Can?t even be honest inside Now I?m running backward Watching my life wave me goodbye
Running blind I?m running blind Somebody help me see I?m running blind
Searching for nothing Wondering if I?ll change I?m trying everything But everything still stays the same I thought if I showed you I could fly Wouldn?t need anyone by my side Now I?m running backward With broken wings I know I?ll die
Running blind I?m running blind Somebody help me see I?m running blind Running blind Running blind Running blind
I can?t find the answers I?ve been crawling on my knees Looking for anything To keep me from drowning I?m running blind Running blind Running blind Running blind Running blind
threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back, a name in your recollection, thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over when i've looked right through to see you naked and oblivious and you don't see me.
but i threw you the obvious just to see if there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel, the eyes of a tragedy. here i am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded. but i see through it all and see you.
so i threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy. oh well. apparently nothing.
Oh and they're connected to the band Tool somehow; I can't remember why but something with one of the band members also being in Tool, I think. It talks about it on the website.
It *is* like Tool but with a softer edge. I agree. I think the softer edge is why I like them. I tried Tool a couple times, and although I do like their lyrics and some of the music, it is really, really "hard" for my taste. Maybe I'm just not listening to the right songs for me, or something. I want to like them. Everyone always tells me, "you would really like Tool". lol. Maybe I do, but I just don't know it yet. Perhaps I haven't evolved my music taste enough yet to embrace the totality of Tool.
*deep moment of ponderance and reflection* 🙂

I can't even tell you how much this bugs me...I've been talking about all these good songs on our continuous loop cd at work, but I need to mention that not all of the songs are good. Get ready to hear something shocking and shameful. There's a g-damned
GREAT NEW rock song. It's actually called "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" and it's by this really odd band called The Darkness. Watch the video on launch.com (you know, they should really pay me for all my promoting. lol) It's a great song.
I need some new music, badly...it's been way too long since I bought a CD. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who likes mainly alternative rock, and classic rock (but not heavy metal or rap)?
Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I want it to and I get real frustrated, and like, I try hard and I take my time and it just doesn't work out the way it want it to, i
I'm so excited! It's September 2nd at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville, Oregon. I hope he sings some old stuff...like..."Octopus's Garden"...or just anything from the Beatles. He's such a cutie pie! I hope he drums.
I went thru a stage...in high school...need I say more? I liked the guy & the band a great deal and thought they were pretty revolutionary in what they were saying. I may not hold him/them in such high esteem these days, but I definitely think that he/t
I will admit I have drank a lot the past couple of days and I have a buzz on. When I drink, I think, I ask myself, self what songs tell people about thierself. Everyone has at least one song that says were they come from and what they are, what are they?
Imagine it's summer, or spring, or hey, even fall. If you were going to take the *ideal* road trip, what sort of music would you compile and take with you? What kind of music would you want to blast with the top down? If you're like me, and don't have
Summertime and the livin' is easy fish are jumpin and the cotton is high oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' so hush little baby don't you cry
One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin' yes
She has this song; I don't believe it was ever released to radio stations. It's called Serve The Ego, and it's very prolific (yet simple). I like it a lot. Kind of interesting the way it addresses the actual disco era and the "me" generation of the 197
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again 'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did It has not healed with time It just shot down my spine You look so beautiful tonight
It's not like they meant to hurt me
Watchin' TV checkin' Brittney, televised
My guys checkin' out her thighs
And I roll my eyes and sigh
It's not like I even need to be
Competeing with unreality, TV fantasy
Not for a smart girl like me
Somedays it's hard to be a one girl revolution
Chorus: Sometimes I have good days
And it's good to be me
Sometimes I get the best of insecurity
And it's quite alright to be the one and only
But today I feel like
The one and lonely
It's not that I don't know beauty
Is only skin deep
Just the skin I'm in
Not the girl within
But one imperfection takes away my grin
Not that I think I'm ugly
But acne throws me for a backslide
I won't go outside
Make-up can't hide how I feel inside
Somedays it's hard to be a one girl revolution
Reapeat Chorus.
We all have bad hair days
Those, nothing good about me days
We just keep moving on
Cause they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on
We have our yesterdays
No lunch cause our jeans don't fit, days
We just keep moving
Cause they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on
Sometimes I have bad days
And it's hard to be me
Sometimes I get brought down by insecurity
And I have my days where I'm the one and lonely
But today I choose to be the one and only
