If your life was played out on television every tuesday night at eight thirty, what would your opening theme song be?
I think mine would be "Seduced" by Leon Redbone.
 
Dear gods...Probably Betty Blue by The 69 Eyes right now.

Betty Blue
by 69 Eyes
album: Paris Kills (2002),
Framed In Blood (2003)
We're like two fingers of the same hand
The Hand of Fate writing on the sand
What does it matter
What does it mean
Can you see the difference
In the lines between

I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue
I'm gonna run away with you
I'm gonna run away-into your eyes blue

We're like two fingers of the same hand
Beautiful strangers of the strange land
What does it matter
What does it mean
Can you feel the difference
And the passion between

I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue
I'm gonna run away with you
Gonna run away into your eyes blue...
 
Don Quixote by Gordon Lightfoot.

Through the woodland, through the valley
Comes a horseman wild and free
Tilting at the windmills passing
Who can the brave young horseman be
He is wild but he is mellow
He is strong but he is weak
He is cruel but he is gentle
He is wise but he is meek

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a battered book into his hand
Standing like a prophet bold
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Till he can shout no more

I have come o’er moor and mountain
Like the hawk upon the wing
I was once a shining knight
Who was the guardian of a king
I have searched the whole world over
Looking for a place to sleep
I have seen the strong survive
And I have seen the lean grown weak

See the children of the earth
Who wake to find the table bare
See the gentry in the country
Riding off to take the air

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a rusty sword into his hand
Then striking up a knightly pose
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Till he can shout no more

See the jailor with his key
Who locks away all trace of sin
See the judge upon the bench
Who tries the case as best he can
See the wise and wicked ones
Who feed upon life’s sacred fire
See the soldier with his gun
Who must be dead to be admired

See the man who tips the needle
See the man who buys and sells
See the man who puts the collar
On the ones who dare not tell
See the drunkard in the tavern
Stemming gold to make ends meet
See the youth in ghetto black
Condemned to life upon the street

Reaching for his saddlebag
He takes a tarnished cross into his hand
Then standing like a preacher now
He shouts across the ocean to the shore
Then in a blaze of tangled hooves
He gallops off across the dusty plain
In vain to search again
Where no one will hear

Through the woodland, through the valley
Comes a horseman wild and free
Tilting at the windmills passing
Who can the brave young horseman be
He is wild but he is mellow
He is strong but he is weak
He is cruel but he is gentle
He is wise but he is meek
 
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ~ Cyndi Lauper

Or:

I'm Too Sexy ~ Right Said Fred

Or (my personal fave - a line from which has been in my sig for ages):

Chocolate ~ Snow Patrol
This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home

With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time

You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

What have I done? It's too late for that
What have become? Truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time

Trouble - Elvis Presley

(words & music by leiber - stoller)
If you’re looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you’re looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I’m evil, my middle name is misery
Well I’m evil, so don’t you mess around with me

I’ve never looked for trouble
But I’ve never ran
I don’t take no orders
From no kind of man
I’m only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you’re gonna start a rumble
Don’t you try it on alone
Because I’m evil, my middle name is misery
Well I’m evil, so don’t you mess around with me
I’m evil, evil, evil, as can be
I’m evil, evil, evil, as can be
So don’t mess around don’t mess around don’t mess around with me
I’m evil, I’m evil, evil, evil
So don’t mess around, don’t mess around with me
I’m evil, I tell you I’m evil
So don’t mess around with me
Yeah!

It depends on my mood. If I'm feeling playful and happy, like now...

Elvis Presley - A Little Less Conversation

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby...


Or melancholy...

Lisa Fischer - How Can I Ease the Pain?

All alone on my knees I pray
For the strength to stay away
In and out, out and in you go
I feel your fire, then I lose my self control
How can I ease the pain...


Or dark.

Nine Inch Nails - Closer

You let me violate you, You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, You let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, Help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, Help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God...


Something tells me that the last one wouldn't make it on network TV. :eek:
 
Everybody Wants to Rule the World - Tears for Fears

Welcome to your life.
There's no turning back.
Even while we sleep.
We will find you
Acting out your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

It's my own desire
It's my own reward.
Help me to decide
Help me make the most of freedom
And our pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.

There's a room where the light won't find you,
Holding hands while The Walls come tumbling down.
When they do, I'll be right behind you.
So glad, we've almost made it;
So sad, they had to take it.
Everybody Wants to Rule the World.
 
This has been my theme song from the first time I heard it:

Rain - An Emotional Fish

One day I will kick it in the head,
I will wear flowers in my hair,
I'll forget everything I ever said,
I will walk this world without a care.

One day I will show you who I am,
I'll forget to cry and commit a sin.
I will free the people of people jam,
open the door and walk right in.

One day I'll just sit and watch it twist and turn,
I will ride a bicycle to work,
I'll forget everything I've ever learned,
forget to hate, forget to hurt.

One day I will raise my voice in church,
I'll forget the words and just make it up,
I'll forget everything I ever heard
and just say hush when it gets too much.

With a little pleasure and a little pain
comes a little sunshine and a little rain
With a little teardrop and a little pearly smile
comes a little chaos and a little peace of mind.

The World is Not Enough!

I should have said this before...

Garbage - The World is Not Enough

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel alive
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

I feel safe
I feel scared
I feel ready
And yet unprepared

The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love

The world is not enough
The world is not enough
No, nowhere near enough,
The world is not enough

Ahhh, I see. I like your thinking :D


I'm still thinking...
 
My theme would be Girl In The Dirty Shirt by Oasis. :)

If I may be so bold that I just say something
Come and make me my day
The clouds around your soul
Don't gather there for nothing
But I can chase them all away
Why d'you need a reason for to feel happy
Or shining for the rest of the world
Give me just a smile and would you make it snappy
Get your shit together girl

You got a feeling lost inside
It just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind
It just won't let you go
No it just won't let you go
Guess what I'm trying to say...

Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter
If your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth
She knows exactly what she's worth to me
That I can see, I can see

If you ever find yourself inside a bubble
You've gotta make your own way home
You can call me anytime you're seeing double
Now you know you're not alone

You got a feeling lost inside
It just won't let you go
Your life is sneaking up behind
It just won't let you go
No it just won't let you go
Guess what I'm trying to say...

Is would you maybe, come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered
When you say something you make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth

Maybe she'll come dancing with me
Cos to me it doesn't matter
If her hopes and dreams are shattered
When she says something
She'll make me believe
In the girl who wears a dirty shirt
She knows exactly what she's worth to me...
 
Minstrel From Gault
by Rickie Havens

A Minstrel came down from Gault,
with scores of tales to tell
some of them were true…
some of them were false…
some of them we knew…
yet some we knew too well

It was told in fire,
And it was told in ice,
It was told so many times
Many more than twice

A soldier came down from Dien Bien Phu
with silence in his eyes..
He told of many a morning,
when fire was the sky,
He told of many a night,
when the bravest of men would cry...
knowing that, before the night was through, many more would have to die


Rumple Foreskin :cool:
