I had a thought that everyone has a song that they can relate to... it seems to describe them so I was wondering what you think describes you. Mine would have to me that new song Outside- the one with Fred Durst (lead singer of Limp Bizkit) in it... it is a really good song and something that really appeals to me.
 
Mine is "What I Am" By Edie Brickell and the New Bohemmians


"What i am is What i am
Are You what you are
Or what................ Choke me in the shallow water before i get to deep"
 
All By Myself Eric Carmen.






BTW, it's "Shove me in the shallow water...before I get too deep".
 
Sophie B. Hawkins....'Damn, I wish I was our Lover'

"I sat on the mountainside for peace of mind
And I laid by the oceanside making love to her with visions clear
walked the day with no-one near
I had a dream I was your hero
Damn, I wish I was your lover
I'd rock you til the daylight comes,
Make sure you were smiling and warm"

Joyful Girl, by Ani Difranco

I do it for the joy it brings
Because I'm a joyful girl.
Because the world owes me nothing.
We owe each other the world.
I do it because it's the least I can do.
I do it because I learned it from you.
I do it because I want to.
Because I want to.

Everything I do is judged,
And mostly they get it wrong, but oh well.
'Cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged,
And the woman who lives there can tell
The truth from the stuff they say.
She looks me in the eye,
Says do you prefer the easy way?
No, well okay, then.
Don't cry.

I wonder if everything I do
I do instead of something I want to do more.
The question fills my head.
I know there's no grand plan here,
This is just the way it goes.
When everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know

I do it for the joy it brings
Because I'm a joyful girl.
Because the world owes me nothing.
We owe each other the world.
I do it because it's the least I can do.
I do it because I learned it from you.
I do it because I want to.
Because I want to.
 
I'm going slightly mad - Queen
(I can't get no) Satisfaction - Rolling Stones

Take your pick, I'm not sure which came first. Whole 'chicken and egg' thing.
 
The Song that best describes me is
"While my guitar gently weeps" by the Beatles.

This song has summed up my life the last 20 years. I have
seen and experience so many different things but this song
always seems to be relavent
 
High Road Easy - Sass Jordan

Got a pocket full of power
Got a handle on control
Take a better man than you, babe
Rectify the damage to my soul

And

Go go godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult

Oh no! There goes Tokyo!
 
"Ugly Bastards" by the Casualties, check out my web page for the lyrics.
 
Matchbox 20 "Bent"

If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
If I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some of your love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again


Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Keep breaking me in
And this is how we will live
With you and me bent

If I couldn't sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot

I started out clean but I'm jaded
Just falling
Just breaking the skin


Start bending me
It's never enough
'Til I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me until I'm completely broken in

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again



Without understanding
Hell, I'll go there again

Can you help me I'm bent
I'm so scared that I'll never
Get put back together
Yeah, you're breaking me in
And this is how we will live
With you and me bent
 
I Am What I Am - G. Gaynor

I love this song! Makes me feel good every time I hear it.

I Am What I Am - Gloria Gaynor

I am what I am,
I am my own special creation.
So, come take a look,
Give me the hook or the ovation.

It's my world that I want to have a little pride in,
My world, and it's not a place I have to hide in.

Life's not worth a damn, till you can say...
I am what I am!

I am what I am, I don't want praise, I don't want pity.
I bang my own drum. Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty.

And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle.
Why not try to see things from a different angle.

Your life is a sham till you can shout out...
I am what I am!

I am what I am and what I am needs no excuses.
I deal my own deck, sometimes the ace, sometimes the deuces.

It's one life and there's no return and no deposit.
One life so it's time to open up your closet.

Life's not worth a damn till you can shout out..
I am what I am!

Today...

It is Under The Bridge, Red Hot Chili Peppers



Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry...

(Skipping some)

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my Love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away...

Time heals sweet cheeks. Hope you can last that long without looking for a 'hit'.

Everything You Know Is Wrong

I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane
with a rabid wolverine in my underwear
when suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat
popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes
I guessed, "Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?
Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?
Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?"
I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time we crashed into the truck
And as I'm laying bleeding there on the asphalt
finally I recognize the face of my hibachi dealer
who takes off his prosthetic lips and tells me

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was walkin' to the kitchen for some Golden Grahams
when I accidentally stepped into an alternate dimension
and soon I was abducted by some aliens from space
who kinda looked like Jamie Farr
They sucked out my internal organs
and they took some polaroids and said I was a darn good sport
and as a way of saying thank you
they offered to transport me back to any point in history that I would care to go
And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
so I could pay my phone bill on time
Just then the floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders started yelling

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

I was just about to mail a letter to my evil twin
when I got a nasty papercut
and, well, to make a long story short
it got infected and I died
so now I'm up in heaven with
St. Peter by the pearly gates
and it's obvious he doesn't like the Nehru jacket that I'm wearing
He tells me that they've got a dress code
Well, he lets me into heaven anyway
but I get the room next to the noisy ice machine
for all eternity
and every day he runs by screaming

Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down and short is long
And everything you used to think was so important
Doesn't really matter anymore because the simple fact remains that
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is

Everything you know is wrong
Everything you know is wrong
 
hunk of burning love.....by elvis the pelvis !!!

I've been going through Tiggs memorabilia and found this thread...

I'm not sure yet, which song best describes me, but I wuz once asked if I was stranded on a desert isle and had only one song to hear, what would it be? And for me that song is I
Can't Live (if living iz without You) as done by Harry Nilsson...Much to my surprise I found it written by Bad Finger on their first album, and it holds none of the magical beauty that Nilsson put into it...Back to reading Tiggs...
