via YourSong "you are so hot
i would like to steal your digits and i
am so hung up on it
i would like to move away from it"

* "you didn't have to be so nice
i would have liked you anyway
if you had just looked once or twice
and gone upon your quiet way
today i said the time was right for me to follow you
i knew i'd find you in a day or two
and it's true
you came upon a quiet day
you simply seemed to take your place
i knew that it would be that way
the minute that i saw your face
and when we've had a few more days
i wonder if i'll get to say
you didn't have to be so nice
i would have liked you anyway"

-naomi strumming my pain with his fingers singing my life with his words killing me softly with his song killing me softly with his song telling my whole life with his words killing me softly with his song i heard he sang a good song i heard he had a style and so I came to see him and listen for a while and there he was this young boy a stranger to my eyes sung by ali overlap ani difranco i search your profile for a translation i study the conversation like a map'cause i know there is strength in the differences between us and i know there is comfort where we overlap come here stand in front of the light stand still so i can see your silhouette i hope you have got all night 'cause i'm not done looking, no, i'm not done looking yet i build each one of my songs out of glass so you can see me inside of them i suppose or you could just leave the image of me in the background, i guess and watch your own reflection super imposed i build each one of my days out of hope and i give that hope your name and i don't know you that well but it don't take much to tell either you don't have the balls or you don't feel the same come here stand in front of the light stand still so i can see your silhouette i hopeyou have got all night' cause i'm not done looking no, i'm not done looking yet
one more night ani difranco i come to your town like thirsty lips to a cup i come to your town and i wanna call you up i don't know how you feel but i hope you feel the same i've broken every speed limit in your name sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console i wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams will you stand guard over my dreams you feel like you're out on a long limb like you've risked it all but i'll go out there with you and when the bough breaks the cradle will just fall i'd rather go down knowing what it was like than to keep myself company one more night one more night and i've got something for you too something you probably don't need you can buy it for the pictures, baby find out its a real good read i just hope you still want it cause i'm bringing it to you i'm gonna come to your town i'm gonna call you up then i don't know what i'm gonna do you feel like you're out on a long limb like you've risked it all and if the bough breaks the cradle will just fall i'd rather go down knowing what it was like than to keep myself company one more nightone more night i come to your town like thirsty lips to a cup i come to your town and i'm gonna call you up i don't know how you feel but i hope you feel the same i've broken every speed limit in your name and sometimes i just wanna bury my head in a hole tell me do you have the kind of touch that can console i wanna hold my hands over my eyes during the scary scenes tell me will you stay with me at night and stand guard over my dreams will you stand guard over my dreams will you stand guard over my dreams....
"Then later on, on the drive home I called her mom, from a pay phone I said I was the cops, and your husbands in jail The state looks down on sodomy And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me Nobody likes you when you're 23 And are still more amused by prank phone calls What the hell is call ID? What's my age again? What's my age again? That's about the time she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line, why would you wish that on me?
I never want to act my age
What's my age again? What's my age again?"
-- What's My Age Again?, by Blink 182
"I'm gonna play all night, I'm gonna beat you right Unless you win the match, and kick you out of sight Cuz you don't know the way I feel Spinning here inside this wheel I've been waiting for so long To sing my teenage victory song Woah lord, I'm coming home Come on everybody, sing along
Let's make them feel dumb, cuz they were wrong
We'll dance and sing the night away
Say you'll stay"
-- Teenage Victory Song, by Weezer
"Guess who just got back today Those wild eyed boys who'd been away Haven't changed, hadn't much to say But man I still think those cats are crazy They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town"
-- The Boys Are Back In Town, by Thin Lizzy
"Don't the best of them bleed it out While the rest of them peter out Truth or consequence, say it aloud Use that evidence, race it around There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary"
-- My Hero, Foo Fighters
