It's pretty self explainatory.
These can be songs that you find special, inspirational, or just "speak" to you in some way. Here's a few of mine (post as many as you like.) Coin Operated Boy ~ The Dresden Dolls Coin operated boy sitting on the shelf he is just a toy But I turn him on and he comes to life Automatic joy That is why I want a coin operated boy Made of plastic and elastic He is rugged and long lasting Who could ever ever ask for more? Love without complications galore Many weights and shapes to choose from I will never leave my bedroom I will never cry at night again Wrap my arms around him and pretend Coin operated boy All the other real ones that I destory Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll Never let him go and I'll never be alone And I'll never let him go And I'll never be alone Not with my coin operated boy This bridge was written to make you feel smittener With my sad picture of girl getting bitterer Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy I didn't think so but I'm still convinceable Will you persist even after I bet you a billion dollars That I'll never love you And will you persist even after I kiss you goodbye for the last time Will you keep on trying to prove that we're dying My confidence I want it I want you I want you I want a I want a I want a coin operated boy And if I had a star to wish on For my life I can't imagine Any flesh and blood could be his match I can even take him in the bath Coin operated boy He may not be real experienced with girls But I know he feels like a boy should feel Isn't that the point that is why I want a coin operated boy With a pretty coin operated voice Saying that he loves me and he's thinking of me Straight and to the point, that is why I want a coin operated boy A Minor Incident ~ Badly Drawn Boy There's nothing I could say to make you try and feek okay And nothing you could do to stop me feeling the way I do And if the chance should happen that I'll never see you again Just remember that I'll always love you I'd be a better person on the other side I'm sure You'd find a way to help yourself Then find another door To shrug off minor incidents Make us both feel proud I'd just wish I could be there to see you through You always were the one to make us stand out in the crowd Though every once upon a while your head was in a cloud There's nothing you could do to ever let me down And remember that I'll always love you Christopher Lydon ~ The Dresden Dolls clutching the phone till my hands were sore i never understood pain before, christopher you cannot know what it does to me hearing you speak with this frequency i never knew what one voice could do i was in heaven the moment i heard you my friends go out drinking and having fun - i stay in bed with my headphones on shot down with arrows from waves above christopher lydon renounced my love it took so long to get through to you i never understood sorrow, and now i do i finally got past your moniter, and you broke my heart in two, chrisopher christopher, i am your listener, christopher, i've never felt love like this before, christopher, christopher, now and forevermore, chrisopher i'll never stop saying christopher, christopher finally i knew what i had to do christopher i had to make the connection with you i dont care that you could be my father, dear chistopher i will be yours til the bitter end........ so during a show about joan of arc i got through - i said: "christopher lydon, you've stolen my heart" when i asked if you felt the same way for me you cut me off like a guillotine drawn like a bull to a matador- i just see visions of chrisopher shot down by arrows from waves above christopher lydon renounced my love christopher, i was your prisoner, christopher, i hope you're happy now chistopher thank you for everything but i'm not listening anymore nor do i plan to contribute to NPR christopher what do you take me for i'm not just any old talk show host groupie.... oh christopher.....is there a chance for me? christopher...beautiful, beautiful christopher....beautiful, beautiful, beautiful christopher.... |

Satellite by Anna Nalick Black and blue I chose my way I, the candid castaway In a way delayed by one more broken season To find reason for appeasing you and So I found my guiding light Lambent, flashing red and white Through a starry night I'm better nowhere-bound Than drowning on your solid ground Satellite, save my life I'm wishing on a two-way radio Love might be just like me Jaded, waiting, all alone A whisper on a two-way radio All in all I fare the same Wishing on an airplane Its callin stars by name A lonely song of freedom rings In hope of someone listening and So I send my feeble flare Through the silent arctic air Heading anywhere Until at last i've finally found A place to lay my anchor down Satellite, save my life I'm wishin on a two-way radio Love might be just like me Jaded, waiting, all alone You never know never never Heaven help me I'm Drownin and I can't save me Send some salvation To keep me alive Satellite, save my life I'm wishin on a two-way radio Love might be just like me Jaded, waiting, all alone Satellite, save my life I'm wishin on a two-way radio Love might be just like me Jaded, waiting, all alone A whisper on a two-way radio Savin' Me by Nickelback Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' [Chorus:] Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' And all I see is you These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you Come please I'm callin' And all I need from you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh, I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' [Chorus] Hurry I'm fallin' Heal Over by KT Tunstall It isn't very difficult to see why You are the way you are Doesn't take a genius to realise That sometimes life is hard It's gonna take time But you'll just have to wait You're gonna be fine But in the meantime Come over here lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer baby Coz you'll heal over Heal over Heal over someday And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself That these feelings are in the past You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf Because pain's built to last Everybody sails alone But we can travel side by side Even if you fail You know that no one really minds Come over here lady Don't hold on but don't let go I know it's so hard You've got to try to trust yourself I know it's so hard, so hard Come over here lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer baby Coz you'll heal over, heal over, heal over someday False Alarm by KT Tunstall I'm trying to put this thing to bed I've drugged it in its sleep There isn't many memories I'm comfortable to keep This ball keeps rolling on It's heading for the streets Keep expecting you to send for me The invitation never comes Each time I turn around There's nothing there at all So tell me why I feel like I'm up against a wall But maybe it's a flase alarm And every answer sounds the same Just colours bleeding into one That hasn't got a name Maybe I can't see Maybe it's just me Now the curtain's coming up The audience is still I'm struggling to cater for The space I'm meant to fill And distance doesn't care Each time I turn around There's nothing there at all So tell me why I feel like I'm up against a wall But maybe it's a flase alarm And every answer sounds the same Just colours bleeding into one That hasn't got a name Maybe I can't see Maybe it's just me I'm trying to put this thing to bed I drugged it in its sleep Remember what you said Are you comfortable to keep it? |

(The first set is the lyrics in my signature (most of them, anyway)-- the SGA one, taken from the episode. Just how the music worked with all the events unfolding in that episode-- very wonderful, and moving) "Beyond the Night" Beyond the night, a rising sun Beyond the night, the battle's won The battle is won Fear and shame now in the past Pain and sorrow gone at last Gone at last Circle renewed, peace will be found Beyond the night, on sacred ground River flows, led by the wind First new breath, our journey begins Our journey begins "The Music of the Night" from the Phantom of the Opera Night-time sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defences Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendour Grasp it, sense it - tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light - and listen to the music of the night Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams! Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before! Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live as you've never lived before Softly, deftly, music shall surround you Feel it, hear it, closing in around you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight - the darkness of the music of the night Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be ! Only then can you belong to me Floating, falling, sweet intoxication! Touch me, trust me, savour each sensation! Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write - The power of the music of the night You alone can make my song take flight - Help me make the music of the night . . . |

My favorite lyrics that I can think of at this moment: This feels like another dream Trapped underneath my own routines I tried to lift it off of me I give up, I give up I just sit and bleed I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed Stuck in the middle And I'm paralyzed Arms and legs in between Caught inside a stupid dream Look for her, but cannot see I give up, I give up There's no time to believe I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed Stuck in the middle And I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed The only way to cope Is to realize This feels like another dream Everyone grabbed ahold of me Pulled from every side of me I give up, I give up There's nothing left of me Arms and legs inbetween Caught inside a stupid dream Look for her, but cannot see I give up, I give up There's no time to believe I'm paralyzed. I'm paralyzed Stuck in the middle And I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed. I'm paralyzed The only way to cope Is to realize I'm paralyzed... I'm paralyzed... I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed Stuck in the middle And I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed, I'm paralyzed The only way to cope Is to realize I'm paralyzed Stuck in the middle and I'm paralyzed I'm paralyzed The only way to cope is to realize ~'Paralyzed' Rock Kills Kid. |

"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" (The Phantom of the Opera) You were once my one companion You were all that mattered. You were once a friend and father Then my world was shattered. Wishing you were somehow here again Wishing you were somehow near. Sometimes it seemed If I just dreamed Somehow you would be here. Wishing I could hear your voice again Knowing that I never would. Dreaming of you Won't help me to do All that you dreamed I could. Passing bells and sculpted angels Cold and monumental Seem for you the wrong companions. You were warm and gentle. Too many years Fighting back tears. Why can't the past just die? Wishing you were somehow here again Knowing we must say goodbye. Try to forgive Teach me to live Give me the strength to try. No more memories No more silent tears No more gazing across the wasted years. Help me say goodbye. |

Oh! *tries to breathe* I love POTO!!!! I was thinking the other day how these few lyrics can also describe Barbossa and the crew! Down Once More Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair Down we plunge to the prison of my mind Down that path into darkness deep as hell!!! I know they're short but they sure are accurate!! |

"Out There" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame The world is cruel. The world is wicked. It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city. I am your only friend. I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you. I who look upon you without fear. How can I protect you boy unless you always stay in here, Away in here? You are deformed. (I am deformed.) And you are ugly. (And I am ugly.) And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity. You do not comprehend. (You are my one defender.) Out there they'll revile you as a monster. (I am a monster.) Out there they will hate and scorn and jeer. (Only a monster.) Why invite their calumny and consternation? Stay in here. Be faithful to me. (I'm faithful.) Grateful to me. (I'm grateful.) Do as I say, obey and stay in here. Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone, Gazing at the people down below me. All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone, Hungry for the histories they show me. All my life I memorize their faces, Knowing them as they will never know me. All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day, Not above them, But part of them. And out there living in the sun. Give me one day out there, All I ask is one to hold forever. Out there where they all live unaware. What I'd give, what I'd dare, Just to live one day out there! Out there among the millers and the weavers and their wives, Through the roofs and gables I can see them. Every day they shout and scold and go about their lives, Heedless of the gift it is to be them. If I was in their skin I'd treasure every instant... Out there strolling by the Seine. Taste the morning out there like ordinary men, Who freely walk about there. Just one day and then I swear I'll be content with my share. Won't resent, won't despair. Old and bent, I won't care. I'll have spent one day out there! |

Ooooh I just remembered some great Third Eye Blind songs...to start: Narcolepsy I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm, And there's a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm..., And there it goes, my last chance for peace, You lay me down, but I'll get no release, And I say I, I try to keep awake, I try to swim beneath, I try to keep awake, But I can feel this narcolepsy slide, Into another nightmare. And there's a demon in my head who starts to play, A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday, And I hold my breath 'till it's more than I can take, And I close my eyes I dream that I'm awake, I try to keep awake, I try to keep awake, I try to keep awake, But I can feel this Narcolepsy slide, into another nightmare. I read dead Russian authors, Volumes at a time, I write everything down except what's on my mind, Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound, And then I know that I will never get back out, And there's a bone in my hand that connects to a drink, In a crowded room where the glasses clink, And I'll buy you a beer and we'll drink it deep, Because that keeps me from falling asleep, I said, how'd you like to be alone and drowning, How'd you like to be alone and drowning, How'd you like to be alone and drowning, How'd you like to be all alone and drowning, Still I find this narcolepsy slide slides, Into another nightmare, Keep awake. Keep awake, Keep awake, And I can feel this narcolepsy slide... I LOVE THIS SONG! *drunken pirate dance* |

"On My Own" (Les Miserables) And now I'm all alone again No where to go, no one to turn to. Without a home, without a friend Without a face to say hello to. And now the night is near. Now I can make believe he's here. Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody else is sleeping. I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping. The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head. On my own Pretending he's beside me. All alone I walk with him till morning. Without him, I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me. In the rain the pavement shines like silver. All the lights are misty in the river. In the darkness the trees are full of starlight. And all I see is him and me forever and forever. And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him. And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us. I love him, but when the night is over He is gone, the river's just a river. Without him, the world around me changes. The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers. I love him, but every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending. Without me, his world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness that I have never known I love him. I love him. I love him, But only on my own. |

OMIGOSH! I just saw that show on Broadway tonight...it was amazing. I forgot to post this one in my initial post, it is too from The Phantom of the Opera. Night-time sharpens; Heightens each sensation. Darkness, wakes and stirs imagination. Silently the senses abandon their defenses. helpless to resist the notes I right for I compose the music of the night Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor. Grasp it, sense it, tremble, lust, and tender. Hearing is believing music is decieving Hard as lightning soft as candlelight Dare you trust the music of the night Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth and the truth isn't what you want want to see in the dark it is easy to pretend that the truth is what it ought to be Softly, deftly music shall caress you, hear it, feel it,secretly posses you. Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind, in this darkness which you know you cannot fight; the darkness of the music of the night. Close you eyes and start a journey through a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you long to be free. Only then can you belong to me... Floating, falling; Sweet intoxication, Touch me, trust me; Savor each sensation. Let the dream begin, let your darkest side give in To the power of the music that I write, The power of the music of the night! You alone can make my song take flight, Help me make the music of the night.... I love this song... and tonight the guy playing the Phantom sang it beautifully, just beautifully... I almost wanted to cry but I had to save my tears to the end. |

Wunderkind Written by Alanis Morissette, Harry Gregson-Williams Performed by Alanis Morissette Oh, perilous place walk backwards toward you Blink disbelieving eyes chilled to the bone Most visibly brave no apprehended bloom First to take this foot to virgin snow I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment I am a wunderkind And I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this I am a princess on the way to my throne Destined to serve, destined to roam Oh, ominous place spellbound and un-child-proofed My least favorite shelter bear alone Compatriots in face they’d cringe if I told you Our best back pocket secret our bond full blown And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment I am a wunderkind And I am pioneer naïve enough to believe this I am a princess on the way to my throne Destined to seek, destined to know Most beautiful place reborn and blown off roof My view about face whether great will be done And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment I am a wunderkind I am a groundbreaker naïve enough to believe this I am a princess on the way to my throne And I am a magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment I am a wunderkind I am a Joan of Arc and smart enough to believe this I am a princess on the way to my throne Destined to reign, destined to roam Destined to reign, destined to roam From The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe |

I'm feeling the need to post some country! Bear with me! I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer I turned eighteen We lived in a one room, rundown shack On the outskirts of New Orleans We didn't have money for food or rent To say the least we were hard pressed Then Mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin' dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips Then I stepped into a satin' dancin' dress That had a split on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin' back from the lookin' glass There stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neck And she kissed my cheek Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eys When she started to speak She looked at our pitiful shack And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick And the baby's gonna starve to death She handed me a heart shaped locket that said "To thine own self be true" And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl accross The toe of my high heeled shoe It sounded like somebody else that was talkin' Askin' Mama what do I do She said be nice to the gentlemen Fancy And they'll be nice to you She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Lord forgive me for what I do, But if you want out Well it's up to you Now don't let me down you better start Movin' uptown Well, that was the last time I saw my Ma The night I left that rickety shack The welfare people came and took the baby Mama died and I ain't been back But the wheels of fate had started to turn And for me there was no way out And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly What my Mama'd been talkin' about I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow That I's gonna be a lady someday Though I didn't know when or how I couldn't see spending the rest of my life With my head hung down in shame You know I might have been born just plain white trash But Fancy was my name Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down It wasn't long after that benevolent man Took me off the street And one week later I was pourin' his tea In a five room hotel suite I charmed a king, congressman And an occasional aristocrat Then I got me a Georgia mansion In an elegant New York townhouse flat And I ain't done bad Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous Hippocrites that would call me bad And criticize Mama for turning me out No matter how little we had But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin' For nigh on fifteen years I can still hear the desperation in my poor Mama's voice ringin' in my ear She said, here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down Lord, forgive me for what I do But if you want out well it's up to you Now don't let me down You Mama's gonna help you uptown Well,I guess she did |

Here's a silly youth camp song that is stuck in my head. (To be sung to the tune of "Do, Re, Mi" from The Sound of Music) Dough, I use to buy my Sprite. Ray, the guy who pours my Sprite. Me, the one who drinks the Sprite. Far, a long way to the john. So, I guess I'll have a Sprite. La, I guess I'll have a Sprite. Tea? No thanks, I'll have a Sprite Which will bring us back to dough...

Oooh, well lyrically my favourites are... "Circle" - Slipknot Give me the dust of my father Stand on the face of the ancients Bare the secret flesh of time itself Follow me (Follow me) I've come so far behind again Follow me (Follow me) Wish so hard I'm there again Follow me (Follow me) Follow me (Follow me) All that I wanted were things I had before All that I needed I've never needed more All of my questions are answers to my sins All of my endings waiting to begin I know the way that I faulter Can't be afraid of my patience There's a sacred place where Razel keeps safe Follow me (Follow me) I've seen so much I'm behind again Follow me (Follow me) I feel so bad I'm in love again Follow me (Follow me) All that I wanted were things I had before All that I needed I've never needed more All of my questions are answers to my sins All of my endings waiting to begin "The Great Below" - Nine Inch Nails Staring at the sea Will she come? Is there hope for me After all is said and done Anything at any price All of this for you All the spoils of a wasted life All of this for you All the world has closed her eyes Tired faith all worn and thin For all we could have done And all that could have been Ocean pulls me close And whispers in my ear The destiny I've chose All becoming clear The currents have their say The time is drawing near Washes me away Makes me disappear As I descend from grace In arms of undertow I will take my place In the great below I can still feel you Even so far away Yeah, both slow songs, but... yeah.
