Don't stroke that I'm actually posting the lyric of the day ON the actual day. But this one fits and has been in my head for the last couple hours...
I'm through
With doubt.
There's nothing left for me to figure out.
I've paid
A price
And I'll keep paying.
I'm not ready to make nice.
I'm not ready to back down.
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time to
Go round and round and round.
It's too late to make it right.
I probably wouldn't if I could.
Cuz I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should.
I know
You said
Can't you just get over it?
It turned my whole world around
And I think I like it.
I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don't mind saying
It's a sad sad story when a mother will
Teach her daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world can the words I said
Send somebody so over the edge that they'd write me a letter
Saying that I'd better shut up and sing or my life will be over?
- Dixie Chicks, "Not Ready To Make Nice"
Listened to it on my way back from the beach on Saturday. I like that Christina can sing...
When a female fires back
Suddenly target don't know how to act;
So he does what any little boy would do -
Makin' up a few false rumors or two.
That for sure is not a man to me;
Slanderin' names for popularity.
It's sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say.
This is for my girls all around the world.
Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth.
Thinkin' all women should be seen,
Not heard.
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder,
Letting them know we're gonna stand our ground
So lift your hands high and wave em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud,
Never can.
Never will.
Can't hold us down!
- Christina Aguilera, "Can't Hold Us Down"
Dancing, talking, having fun. I had a good night last night.
In Napoli, where love is king,
When a boy meets a girl,
Here's what they say.
When the moon hits your eye
Like a big pizza pie,
That's amore.
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine,
That's amore.
Bells will ring
Ting-a-ling
Ting-a-ling-a-ling.
And you'll sing "Vita Bella".
Hearts will play
Tippy-tippy-tay
Tippy-tippy-tay.
Like a gay tarantella.
When the stars make you drool,
Just like a pasta fazool,
That's amore.
When you dance down the street
With a cloud at your feet,
You're in love.
When you walk down in a dream
But you know that you're not
Dreaming signore.
Scuzza me,
But you see
Back in old Napoli
That's amore.
-Dean Martin, "That's Amore"
I gave R a bunch of mix discs yesterday. We listened to them all night. I'm a happy camper. This song is on one of them. I know it's been done by a lot of people, but this is the version I've had in my head all day.
And it's six in the morning,
Gave me no warning -
I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing,
And the lights all are flashing,
I'm on my way home
From the place.
Well the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck.
Freeways, cars and trucks.
Stars beginning to fade.
And I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh Lord,
Let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
Well, my time has come quickly,
I go lickety-splitly
Down to my old '55.
As I pulled away slowly,
I was feeling so holy,
God knows
I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up,
I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeways,
cars
And trucks.
Freeways,
cars
And trucks.
Freeways,
Cars and trucks ...
- (the) Sarah McLachlan (version), "Ol' 55"
Just because I love love this song.
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down,
And a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain.
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion,
Can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...
I will be watching over you.
I am gonna help you see it through.
I will protect you in the night.
I am smiling next to you.
- Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"
yes, it's an inside joke that none of you will get. But it's gonna make me laugh my ass off every time I go back through my blog...
Ugly Betty, so what's it gonna be?
Will you stand up for yourself or will you leave?
Ugly Betty, the stars align for you.
The rest is up to what you make or do with it.
And how you bloom under sunshine;
What you are is beautiful.
Far beyond what the eye can see.
What you are is beautiful.
- Marie Digby, "Ugly Betty"
Love this song.
Independence
Is still important for us though
We realize -
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go.
Do you know what I mean?
My weaknesses,
You know each and every one
It frightens me.
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's.
And you know
It's a question of lust.
It's a question of trust.
It's a question of not letting what we've built up
Crumble to dust.
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together.
Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home.
- Depeche Mode, "A Question of Lust"
Because it was Ashton's first concert. And because R and I giggled like school girls when it came on last night while we were sitting on the couch listening to music.
I'll tell you what I want,
What I really really want.
So tell me what you want,
What you really really want.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
I wanna really
Really really wanna zigazig ha.
If you wanna be my lover,
You gotta get with my friends.
Make it last forever
Friendship never ends,
If you wanna be my lover,
You have got to give.
Taking is too easy,
But that's the way it is.
What do you think about that now you know how I feel,
Say you can handle my love are you for real.
I won't be hasty,
I'll give you a try.
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye.
-Spice Girls, "Wannabe"
Cuz life is too short to be miserable. And I love the instrumental introduction to this song and the music behind the lyrics.
Celebrate we will.
Cuz life is short but sweet for certain.
We're climbing
Two by two
To be sure these days continue.
These things we can not change.
Change.
Oh I want to change it.
Hey,
You came to me like wine
Comes to this mouth.
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and
You
Quench my mind.
- Dave Matthews Band, "Two Step"
This is consistently in my top 10 albums of all time.
What the fuck is this world
Running to?
You didn't
Leave a message, at least
I could've learned your voice one last time.
Daily minefield
This could be my time bout you.
Would you hit me?
Would you hit me?
All the bills go by
And inititatives are taken up
By the middle...
There ain't gonna be a middle anymore.
And the cross I'm bearing home,
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch
Left the porch.
Hear my name,
Take a good look.
This could be the day.
Hold my hand,
Walk beside me.
- Pearl Jam, "Porch"
