That has to be the best one ever. "Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me and I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes, and you know it. And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back, I hope you feel it... Well can you feel it?"
I almost can.
One that always makes me feel better is the Rainmakers' "No Romance". Since I'm pretty sure none of you have heard it, I'll post the lyrics:
If you're looking for some answers
Well you've come to the wrong place
You might find lines, but no valentines
Written all over my face
I bear no grudge, I wear no frown
I just come with calloused hands
And I don't mean to bring you down but
There is no romance.
I've spent too much of my life waiting
Hoping, dreaming, wishing, believing,
And way too little of it living
Smashing it up and taking and giving
I wish someone had warned me
While I was still a young man
And saved me lots of time and money
There is no romance.
No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance
No romance, no romance, no romance, no romance
Save your stories for the bartender
And your crying for the theater
And your poems and your diary pages
To kill some time in your old age.
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
There may be gods who hear your prayers
And honest men who, men who care
And young lovers who say they will wait forever
Lives that look like movies and books
But the sooner that you learn this
The sooner you free your hands
To get on with things that really matter
There is no romance.
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
No Doubt's "Don't Speak"
For some reason I just love the Gin Blossoms' "Found out about you"
Pet Shop Boys "Jealousy"
Eagles "Already Gone"
Alan Parsons Project "Eye in the Sky"
Cascades' "Listen to the rythm of the falling rain"
Natalie Imbruglia- Torn
Nancy Sinatra- These boots are made for walking
Laura Brannigan's Solitaire
Rascal Flatts- I'm movin on
GNR- used to lover her, but I had to kill her.
GNR- Cold November Rain
Motley Crew- Girl, don't go away mad, just go away
Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the heart
Air Supply may mark me as a potential Homo, but let's face it, if you're sad enough to cry; that's the way to go: All out of Love, Making love out of nothing at all, Here I Am (just When I Thought I Was Over You), etc.
And of course if a North Dakota cop kills your bank robbin baby; Chili Peppars' "Dani California" (Been my current favorite song since last summer :wink:)
Oh, ya, another good one would be Night Ranger's "Goodbye"
As the sun hides his head
For another night's rest
And the wind sings
His same old song
And you on the edge
Never close, never far
Always there when I needed a friend
Yet it's hard living life
On this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
There once was a time
Never far from my mind
On the beach, on the 4th of July
I remember the sand
How you held out your hand
And we touched for what seemed a lifetime
Now it's hard
Leaving all this behind me now
Like a schoolboy so lost
Never found until now
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
Yet it's hard
Living life on this memory-go-round
Always up, always down
Turning 'round and 'round and 'round
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
And all this could be
Just a dream so it seems
I was never much good at goodbye
Goodbye
