Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win....

Aerosmith- "Dream On."

 

[John_Q_Public]

(A superficial song... still one of my favorites)

Burn and shine, son
And keep your spirit clean
For this is not a dress rehearsal
Junior Phoenix
With your ash-filled eyes
Who will harbor your misfortune?
Your mother says your father says
He does not want to tell you
As if he didn’t know you
Behind the lighthouse
There’s still the hole you made
Better fill it in or it will get you
So talcum powder
Is now your closest friend
Smooth and white and ordinary
Your father says your mother says
She does not want to tell you
As if she didn’t know you
And in the dream everyone is holding hands
In a circle, and you heal
Do you remember
The taste of pemmican?
Then say hello to Hiawatha
She’s still frowning
At your puffy face
Overweight and barely breathing
No one ever said a word
They did not want to tell you
As if they didn’t know you
As if they didn’t know you
As if they didn’t know you
Burn and shine
You burn and shine

Burn and Shine- The Posies

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

Came to get an oil-change for my girlfriends car
But by the time I left I was short of breath and brokenhearted (there she was)
There she was, bent over a motor,
Dirty cap with a pony tail that sat between her shoulders (beautiful)
With an oil streak that must have kissed your cheekbone
Thick and volumtuous I wish that we could be alone (I would love to)
I would love to, touch you, rub you,
See whats covered up under that greasy blue jumpsuit (come on)
Standin there holding that drippin dipstick,
With a firm grip, yet so delicate
And the way you took that orange oil rag and wiped it clean
Its guaranteed to get repeated in my dreams
You make me wild feels like puppy love
Got so lost in your smile when you asked me what the mileage was
And if I ever leaned how to change my own oil
Promise you this customer is gonna remain so loyal (dirty girl)

"You Take My Breath Away" by Queen


Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move
You destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears
With a single sigh
Every breath that you take -
Any sound that you make
Is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you
Anywhere you go, I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you to tell you
That you just take my breath
away

I will find you...etc
I'll get no sleep til I find you to
tell you when I've found you -
I love you

Indeed, quite true...

(Haha, I love this song! This is the ultimate song about superficiality!)

A trap to fall, fall into easy
Believe in what you look like, outside

A stain you can't remove
A stain that keeps you from that place
Where you'd probably have much left to prove

Come down, don't fall over your ego
Don't mind your friends
They just want to go where the fun goes down
Yeah, you want to go up, up, up, up

Hip, hip, hooray, for you
Now you're the one that everyone talks about
The attention you're not getting, it makes you so upset

So take me down
To the place where you can look your best
Better than anyone else around

A stain you can't remove
A stain that keeps you from that place
Where you'd probably have much less to prove

Once you tried, once you tried
Tried to get it right
But you couldn't figure out what it takes to be liked

You're grown up and now you've gone back
To find a way to get along, it's just an act
You can wipe that smile
Now you're the one that everyone talks about

Take time, take it easy
I know you work so hard
But your advantage is your beauty
And that's beautiful

Take time, take it easy
I know you work so hard
But you know what your advantage is
And that's beautiful, and thats beautiful
And that's beauty

Poison
By Beyoncé Knowles
You're bad for me, I clearly get it
I don't see how something good could come from loving you
The death of me must be your mission
'Cause with every hug and kiss you're snatching every bit of strength
That I'm goin' need to fight off the inevitable
And it's a heartbreaking situation I'm up in, but I can't control
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it, how can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch twenty-two
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
You ain't right, take me high
Then that high it subsides and my body flat-lines
Then you come to revive; wait, wait, wait, I'm alive
But how long will it last? Will it all come crashing down?
How many doses am I needing now?
What's the prognosis? Will you be around?
Or am I just another victim of an assassin that broke my heart down
Baby, you're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it, how can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch twenty-two
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I die
It's just not my body (no)
It's my mind; you don't know how many times I told myself this can't do (can't do)
And that I don't need you (no, I don't need you)
It's so unfair that I find myself right back in your care
And what's good is that when you're not always there
You know that for my health, my health
You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You're just like poison (whoa, whoa, whoa)
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it, how can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do; it's a catch twenty-two
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it, but I do
You're just like poison
My affliction, I'm addicted, I can't lie
Baby, kiss me one more time
You're just like poison
Slowly moving through my system breaking all of my defenses with time
You're just like poison
And I just don't get it, how can something so deadly feel so right?
I'm not sure of what to do, it's a catch twenty-two
'Cause the cure is found in you, I don't want it
Oh, you're just like poison
I'm addicted, I can't lie
Kiss me one more time before I do

"Got Me Wrong"- Alice in Chains

Yeah, it goes away
All of this and more of nothing in my life
No color clay
Individuality not safe

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure you run from something strong

I can't let go
Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow
Feel a tortured brain
Show your belly like you want me to

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong

I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's gotta turn out right

You sugar taste
Sweetness doesn't often touch my face
Stay if you please
You may not be here when I leave

As of now I bet you got me wrong
So unsure we reach for something strong

I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long
Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love
That don't last forever
Something's gotta turn out right.

 

[Taegul]

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
Whatever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going...

"Bad Girl"
(feat. Marilyn Manson)

Just lay your head in daddy’s lap, you’re a bad girl

Bad girl (1-2-3-4)

Hey, hey
I'll let you walk all over me, me
You know that I’m a little tease, tease
But I wanna play there please, please

You know you know you know I’m crazy
I just wanna be your baby
You can fuck me, you can play me
You can love and you can hate me

Miss me, miss me, now you wanna kiss me

Istanbul- They Might be Giants

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

Istanbul, Istanbul
Istanbul, Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

(It's Monday...smile)

Fool- All

I sent you a valentine. I'm afraid it won't get there till June
Somehow I lost track of time, but you know I'm a fool for you

I send a bouquet of roses, the kind that you're allergic to
You know that I don't know better, you know I'm a fool for you

Head over heels, banana peels, it's funny how you make me feel
Like of love sick slapstick tragedy - would you like to
Fool around with me?

I'd fall of the highest mountain, drown in the deepest river too
Catch a cold in the hottest desert, you know I'm a fool for you

I would sing outside your window if I could only hold a tune
I suck so hold it against me. You know I'm a fool for you

The real world seems so mean to me that I can't take it seriously
But I love your laugh and I hope you see that I just might be the
Fool you need
Every single time I'm with you something's wrong with what I do
Don't get mad it's like I told you I am just a fool for you.

'Hands Are Tied'

-Gin Blossoms

I've been waiting around all night
Your warm kiss is on my mind
A piece of you, this is all I've got
The whole damn thing isn't what I want

And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied

Telephone is ringin' by my bed
I pick it on up and the line goes dead
I splash summer water on my face
Clears my mind I'm out of this place

And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied


Nerves are frayed and I've had enough
I'm a lot afraid that it'll hurt too much
And I can't seem to stop at all
My pain wore through waiting for your call

And I've been waiting around here all night long
Holdin' onto these memories, until they come undone
My hands are tied
My hands are tied

Won't you 'round here all the time?
Just can't seem to shake you off my mind

My hands are tied
My hands are tied
My hands are tied
Oh, yeah
