"El Scorcho"
-Weezer-

******* you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
You won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that?
So I went to your room and read your diary:
"Watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack through a press table..."
And then my heart stopped: "Listening to Cio-Cio San
Fall in love all over again."

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won't you give me a minute
Just come up to me and say hello to my heart
How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me too
And maybe you just don't know what to do
Or maybe you're scared to say: "I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cause I can't even look in your eyes
Without shakin', and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon.

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

 

[abomb]

You take the good, you take the bad,
you take them both and there you have
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

There's a time you got to go and show
You're growin' now you know about
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life.

When the world never seems
to be livin up to your dreams
And suddenly you're finding out
the Facts of Life are all about you, you.

It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning the Facts of Life. (learning the Facts of Life)
Learning the Facts of Life (learning the Facts of Life)
Learning the Facts of Life

The Rose

[FONT=comic sans ms,papyrus, arial, helvetica][FONT=comic sans ms,papyrus, arial, helvetica]Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you, its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the winter snows
lies the seed, that with the sun's love,
in the spring becomes the rose.[/FONT][/FONT]

When I was in grade school, the Male P.E. Teacher sang this song at some kind of assembly. Why I am not sure.

did he sing it bigger, too?

I've always loved the following song, but really appreciated it more when I finally knew what the exact lyrics were:

[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial][SIZE=-1]-Meat Puppets-
"Up On the Sun"

A long time ago
I turned to myself
and said "You are my daughter"
I saw that the image I saw there was well
"So you are my daughter"
Well then maybe we've got something to talk about

Who told you so?
That gold burns slow
Like coal camper's candles all lost in the snow

Lay down - you're on
The warmth that I'm weaving is for you alone

Up on the sun
where it never rains or snows
There's an ocean
with a wind that never blows
And if you see it closer
then the finer points will show
Not too much more
Too much more

Up on the sun
where it never rains or snows
There's an ocean
with a wind that never blows
And if you see it closer
then the finer points will show
Not too much more
Too much more

[Jersey Girl]

Say what you want about country music, but this song kicks ass, especially if you are me or someone like me, lol.

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be.

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what he's doin after all.

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good lord
For the gifts in my life.

Some of gods greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie

This song makes me cry...I debated between here & "Songs that move you" thread...guess I'm not a big girl yet. Can't relate to all of it, but enough that it is really powerful to me.


The smell of your skin lingers on me, now
You're probably on your flight back to your hometown
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
Be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry

The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket

But I've gotta get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like a little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and UNO cards
I'll be your best friend
And you'll be mine, valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'cause I wanna hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center, clarity, peace, serenity yeah

I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We got some straightening out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've gotta get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry

First, I didn't know Fergie did this song. Second, I like it. Third, regarding the bolded part, it usually does have something to do with him. I'd cry a lot less if there were less men on the planet.

What Is Hip - TOP

So ya wanna dump out yo' trick bag.
Ease on in a hip thang,
But you ain't exactly sure what is hip.

So you started to let your hair grow.
Spent big bucks on your wardrobe.
Somehow, ya know there's much more to the trip.

(refrain #1)
What is hip?
Tell me, tell me, if you think you know.
What is hip?
If you're really hip,
the question, "Will it show?"
You're into a hip trip.
Maybe hipper than hip.
What is hip?
{ Trumpet solo/guitar solo }
(refrain #1 ends)

You became a part of a new breed.
Been smokin' only the best weed.
Hangin' out with the so called "Hippie set."

Seen in all the right places.
Seen with just the right faces.
You should be satisfied, but it ain't quite right.

{ refrain #1 }

Come on!

(refrain #2)
Hipness is. What it is!
Hipness is. What it is!
Hipness is. What it is!
Sometimes hipness is, what it ain't.
(end refrain #2)

{ guitar solo }

You went an' found you a guru.
In an effort to find you a new you,
And maybe even raise your conscious level.

While you're striving to find the right road,
There's one thing you should know,
"What's hip today, might become passe'."

{ refrain #1 }

{ Trumpet solo }

Think about it y'all.

{ keyboard solo }

{ refrain #2 }

What is hip?
Ahhhhhhhhh!
What is hip?
I'd like to know!
What is hip?
Is it in the style of your hair?
What is hip?
Is it in the clothes that you wear?
What is hip?
I'd like to know.
What is hip?
I'd like to know.
What is hip?
What is hip y'all? Hey!
What is hip?
Hey! Oh!
What is hip?
What is hip y'all?
What is hip?
I wanna know.
What is hip?
Ahhhhhhh!
What is hip?
I wanna know what hipness is.

[Pariah]

The best line in music history:

I am leaving/
I am leaving/
but the fighter still remains

 

[82CardsGrad]

Got this on my iPod!! Saw them in concert at the Newport Jazz Festival back in '97 (Newport, RI). What a band! What a show!!!!

Yes, but in this case, I really just need to get myself straight. I'm not going to be any good to anyone until I'm cool with myself, you know?

It just makes sense quoting a TOP song on an Arizona Sports Fans board. Jesse McGuire is the D-Backs personal trumpeter and Emilio Castillo has a house here in the Valley. The band may be a Bay Area fixture, but it's got an Arizona Sports Fan flavor.

Wow! Never knew...

10-4. I am in a different place. Cool with me and myself. Not cool with the BS I subject myself to. I should really be smarter.

 

[Jersey Girl]

BTW, can I just say that Fergie sounds pretty good on this track?

 

[Gee!]

I'd cry a lot less if there were less men on the planet.

Oh no you wouldnt.. Youd cry more.. There are already more women then men on this planet and some women already dont care if a man already has a women, theyll do whatever they can to get that guy.. Less men will only make this problem worse.. You should be hoping for more men on this planet..

One of my favs for months ...

Evanescence
My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

 

[Jersey Girl]

Oh no you wouldnt.. Youd cry more.. There are already more women then men on this planet and some women already dont care if a man already has a women, theyll do whatever they can to get that guy.. Less men will only make this problem worse.. You should be hoping for more men on this planet..

You think?

 

[Gee!]

You think?

Its all supply and demand..

 

[Jersey Girl]

Its all supply and demand..

And, in the spirit of that post ...

Yes. I was pleasantly surprised, too.
