What song is in your head?

My son was playing his guitar earlier this week and he played a few notes that just reminded me of the "Violent Femmes" song, "Gimme the Car."

Come on Dad, gimme the car tonight
Come on Dad, gimme the car tonight
I got this girl I wanna....
Come on Dad, gimme the car.

Come on Dad, gimme the car tonight
I tell ya what, I tell ya what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna pick her up
I'm gonna get her drunk
i'm gonna make her cry
I'm gonna get her high
I'm gonna make her laugh
I'm gonna make her...shh
Woman, woman, woman
she gotta, I know she's it

Cuz I'm gonna touch her
all over her body
gonna touch her
all over her body
gonna touch her
all over her body
gonna touch her
all over her body.

And she can touch me
all over my body
she can touch me
all over my body
she can touch me
all over my body
she can touch me
all over my body.

Time goes by, I can feel myself growing old
Burning inside's makin' this boy turn out cold.

What's wrong, What's right
I don't care when I hate my life
What's wrong, What's right
y'know people don't care when they hate their life
But how can I explain personal pain
how can I explain personal pain
how can I explain my voice is in vain
how can I explain the deep down
driving, driving, driving,
we're driving, we're driving, we're driving
well, ohhhhhhhhh

Hey Dad, speaking of driving...
Come on Dad, gimme the car tonight.

So much he don't understand,
just might never make it to a man.

Come on Dad, gimme the car
Come on Dad, I ain't no runt
Come on girl, gimme your...
Cuz I ain't had much to live for
I ain't had much to live for
y'know I ain't had much to live for
y'know I ain't had much to live for.

I woke up this morning hearing this in my head. I still have no idea why...

They do it down on camber sands
They do it at Waikiki
Lazing about the beach all day,
At night the crickets creepy
Squinting faces at the sky
A Harold Robbins paperback
Surfers drop their boards and dry
And everybody wants a hat
But behind the Chalet
My holiday's complete
And I feel like William Tell
Maid Marian on her tiptoed feet
Pulling mussels from a shell

Shrinking in the sea so cold
Topless ladies look away
A he-man in a sudden shower
Shelters from the rain
You wish you had a motor boat
To pose around the harbour bar
And when the sun goes off to bed
You hook it up behind the car

Two fat ladies window shop
Something for the mantelpiece
In for bingo all the nines
A panda for sweet little niece
The coach drivers stand about
Looking at a local map
About the boy he's gone away
Down to next door's caravan

Ok, this morning I woke up with a completely different song.

The Skyeboat Song, a traditional Scottish tune.

Speed bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,
Onward, the sailors cry
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Over the sea to skye

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
Thunder clouds rend the air;
Baffled our foe's stand on the shore
Follow they will not dare

Speed bonnie boat....

Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
Ocean's a royal bed
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Watch by your weary head

Speed bonnie boat....

Many's the lad fought on that day
Well the claymore could wield
When the night came, silently lay
Dead on Culloden's field

Speed bonnie boat...

Burned are our homes, exile and death
Scatter the loyal men
Yet, e'er the sword cool in the sheath,
Charlie will come again.

Speed bonnie boat...

"Almost Lover" - A Fine Frenzy


Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, ever forget
These images

Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

[Chorus]
Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

Real Girl

If I had one chance to
In my life again
I wouldn't make no changes
Now or way back when (yeah)
And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
But I cant wait to find out
What it is that God knows

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

And nothing's ever perfect
There's no guarantee
And if I knew the answers
It would put my mind at ease (no)
So I'll just keep on going
The way I've gone so far
And maybe I'll end up
Tryin' to catch a fallin star (yeah)

But I don't wanna think about
What's gonna come around for me
I'll just take it day by day
'Cause it's the only way
To be the best that I can be

I never pretend to be something I'm not
You get what you see, when you see what I've got
We live in the real world, I'm just a real girl
I know exactly where I stand

And all I can do is be true to myself
I don't need permission from nobody else
'Cause this is the real world, I'm not a little girl
I know exactly who I am

Baby this is who I am
Don't need you to understand
'Cause everything is right where it should be
It wont be long til you know about me,
'Cause I don't give a...
Even when I'm out of love
'Cause everythings just how it should be
And it wont be long till you know about me

When I asked you for my freedom
Little did I know
That I'd long for chains to bind me
I left the arms I needed so
Baby, why'd you let me go

Now I'm begging and I'm pleading
Just to be tied down
To the love I thought was shackles
You mean more than all I've found
Come and wrap your arms around me

Darling
Won't you free me from my freedom
Darling
Put love's chains back on me
Darling
Come and free me from my freedom
Without love I can be free
I don't wanna be

Come and take me, love, and put me
Put me under lock and key
Let the walls of love surround me
Put a ball and chain on me
And love me tenderly

Once I left for greener pastures
But the grass was stone
Ooh, if you pave your way to glory
The road leads back to home
Don't make me wait too long

Darling
Won't you free me from my freedom
Darling
Put love's chains back on me
Darling
Free me from my freedom
Without love I can be free
I don't wanna be

Darling
Come and free me from my freedom
Darling
Put love's chains back on me
Darling
Free me from my freedom
Without love I can be free
But I don't wanna be

Now, now, now, darling
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Free me from my freedom)
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Put a chain on me)
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Free me from my freedom)
Handcuff me

Without love I can be free
(Tie me to a tree, handcuff me)
(Tie me to a tree, handcuff me)
But I don't wanna be

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Free me from my freedom)
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Put love's chains back on me)
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
(Free me from my freedom)
Handcuff me

Without love I can be free
(Tie me to a tree, handcuff me)
(Tie me to a tree, handcuff me)

Darling
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Darling
Tie me to a tree
Handcuff me

Prefer "Bullet With A Name On It"

Watching me like you never watched no one
dont tell me that you didnt try to check out my bum
cause i know that you did cause your friend told me that you liked it
gave me those pearls and i thought they were ugly
don't you try to tell me that you never loved me, i know that you did
cause you said it and you wrote it down
dancing at discos
eating cheese on toast
yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
but you obviously, you didnt want to stick around

so i learnt from you

i can be alone
yeah
i can watch a sunset
on my own
i can be alone
yeah
i can watch a sunset
on my own

sitting in restaurants
thought we were so grown up
but i know now that we were not the people that we turned out to be
chatting on the phone cant take back those hours
but i wont regret cause you can grow flowers from where dirt used to be

dancing at discos
eating cheese on toast
ya you make me merry make me very very happy
but you obviously, you didnt want to stick around
So i learnt from you

i can be alone
yeah
i can watch a sunset
on my own
i can be alone
yeah
i can watch a sunset
on my own

Lose Control

From Evanescence Album The Open Door
Lose Control


You don't remember my name.
I don't really care.
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once,
With all the pretty flowers in the dust.

Mary had a lamb.
His eyes black as coals.
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know.

Just once in my life,
I think it'd be nice,
Just to lose control, just once.

If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you

You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause i am so bitter.
I said
"i'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

yeah...can't get it out of my head and along with it I have the picture of the guys from the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101531/ singing and marching...uh huh.

(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
I hear somethin' sayin'
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin'
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)


(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
Working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody sa-ay
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang
Can't ya hear them singin'
Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days
I'm goin' home see my woman
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere
(Well, don't you know)
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men
working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin', mm
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my,
my work is so hard
Give me water, I'm thirsty
FADE
My work is so hard

Roll Over by the Thompson Twins

Father John and his keep
Preachin' to the women on the easy street for free
Roll over again
(give me drum)
Through the years
Plyin' his trade
Lookin' for heaven on a silver plate
Roll over again
If only he knew it didn't have to be that way
Ohh, the promised land
is just another slice of the cake
(chorus)
Round and round,
It's always round and round we go
(round and round we go)
Yeah, where it leads us
Nobody knows
(nobody) No, no,
Dance and dance
Why must we dance our lives away
(dance our lives away)
How much it bleeds us
No-one can say
(say say say say)
Jezebel made her way,
Sliding around on dirty sheets all day
So roll over again
(1,2, 3, 4)
She lived for years
With the fear
That real true love might never come her way
Roll over again
If only she knew it didn't have to be that way
Yeah, if true romance
was just another slice of the cake
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You and me,
Chasing dreams
We can't see the forest for the trees
We roll over again
(yeah)
You and me
Dance so well
Just like John and Jezebel
We roll over again
(whoa-oh-oh-oh, let's dance!)
(REPEAT CHORUS)
No one can say

I Want You Now!

I want you now
Tomorrow won't do
There's a yearning inside
And it's showing through
Reach out your hands
And accept my love

My heart is aching
My body is burning
My hands are shaking
My head is turning
You understand
It's so easy to choose
We've got time to kill
We've got nothing to lose
I want you now
