I've got a special power
that I'm not afraid to use.
ev-ery waking hour
I discover something new

So come on this is my adventure
this is my fantasy,
it's all about living in the ocean,
bein' wild and free.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea, I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea the world's my oyster I'm the pearl.
No ordinary girl.

We've got to stick together,
'cause the best things come in three,
I want it to last forever,
all the magic and fun at sea,

So come on this is our adventure,
there's no telling where we'll go,
but all I want is just to live amongst the H2O!

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld land or sea,
I've got the power if I just believe.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea the worlds my oyster I'm the pearl.
No ordinary girl.

Come along it just gets better,
so much to do and just so little time,
cause it all depends on whether,
you want to leave the land above behind.

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea, I've got the power if i just believe

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl,
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea the world's my oyster I'm the pearl.
No ordinary girl.


'Cause I'm no ordinary girl.
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea, I've got the power if i just believe

'Cause I'm no ordinary girl,
I'm from the deep blue underworld,
land or sea, the world's my oyster I'm the pearl.
No ordinary girl.

Oh my God Paden, thank you so much for the lyrics to Rattlin' Bog.  My mum used to listen to old Scottish folk songs by the Corries and people like that when I was very young. Most were full of Glencoe Massacres and skinning the English alive-quite traumatic stuff really to a 7 year old but it all melted away with Rattlin' Bog-I loved that song but never knew all the lyrics and I honestly haven't heard it since I was about that age.  There was another one I really liked, something about the word 'aye' but that's all I can remember.  That's such a blast from the past, thank you for giving me the oppertunity now to sing it with my kids.  I hope you read this because I'm totally serious-I was overjoyed to see that written here.

Anyway, usually little snippets of lyrics stick with me and one that rattles around my head a fair bit when I'm in a certain mood comes from Janis Joplin's 'Me and Bobby McGee'.

Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows,
for one single yesterday,
to be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

She sings that and you feel what she means, at least I do and it always makes me think of the man I love.

I love songs with stories, so here's another from my childhood (I'll edit with singer/writer when I find out/remember)

I wanna tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife
who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
well, one day her little girl came home from school and didn't even stop to play
and she said, "Mama got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA"

well, the note said, "Mrs. Johnson you're wearing your dresses way too high
it's reported you've been drinking and running round with men and going wild
and we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way"
and it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA

well it happened that the PTA was going to meet that very afternoon,
and they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room
and as she walked up to the blackboard I can still recall the words she had to say
she said, I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA

well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date
and Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
and Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
and shouldn't Gretta Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled completely down?

Mr. Harper couldn't be here 'cause he spent too long at Kelly's Bar again
and if you smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip o' gin
and then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
well, this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites

No, I wouldn't put you on now, it really did, it happened just this way
the day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA
the day my mama socked it to the Harper Valley PTA

[Paden]

ladymiriam, you are very welcome for those lyrics! My son adores the song and tries to sing it, which for him is an achievement if he can get half of them out. I'm glad to have shared it with someone else that loves it as much as we do here!

Another Red Light (David Hodges)

Another red light on a cold november day
I see the faces following close in a long headlight parade
To a resting place where tear-stained eyes say goodbye

I've been moving so fast I've forgotten where I'm going
I'm driving blind but the wheels of life have a beautiful way of slowing you down sometimes
to catch your breath and take a second to

Smile when you're not supposed to laugh
and cry when you're supposed to hold it back
and live like the sun is burning out of the sky
'cause tomorrow's too late so don't waste a day of this life

the long black car moves slow through the intersection
I take a left and I point my life in the opposite direction
I take a breath 'cause I can't help thinking
that the man in that lincoln is telling me to

Smile when you're not supposed to laugh
and cry when you're supposed to hold it back
and live like the sun is burning out of the sky
'cause tomorrow's too late so don't waste a day of this life

so many souls are set on leaving for eden
but I will cherish this time here
yeah yeah

smile when you're not supposed to laugh
and cry when you're supposed to hold it back
and live like the sun is burning out of the sky
'cause tomorrow's too late there's no time to wait
so don't waste a day in this life
---

Tomorrow's too late...
Makes you think a bit

More Than This - Vanessa Carlton
I put a part in bold I especially liked,

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As crickets call out to the moonlight
As you lean in to steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories
But the ache goes away if you could see
This night under stars, well, I call it peace
If you say, I'll never need more than this

The trees grow so thick
You can barely see through
But the forest bestows the simplest of truths
You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish
But the truth is you'll never need more,
You'll never need more
You'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life,
There's so much to be
We sail through our youth so impatiently
Until we see
That the years move along
And soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song,

Don't live in forgotten times
May this always remind you
Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass
Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright
As we watch the glow of the morning light
Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing

As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home
And they carry a song
Let's make this our story,
Let's live in the glory
Time, it fades away,
Precious as a song
Cause someday we'll be gone

Dead Flowers - Miranda Lambert


I feel like the flowers in this vase
He just brought’em home one day
Ain’t they beautiful he said
They been here in the kitchen
And the waters turnin’ gray
They’re sittin’ in the vase but now they’re dead
Dead flowers

I feel like this long string of lights
They lit up our whole house on Christmas Day
But now it’s January and now the bulbs are all burned out
But still they hang, like dead flowers

He ain’t feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
I’m living in a hurricane
All he can say is man ain’t it such a nice day
Yeah yeah

I feel like the tires on this car
You said we won’t go far but we’re still rollin
I look in the rear view and I see dead flowers in the yard
And that string of lights they ain’t glowin’
Like dead flowers
Like dead flowers

He ain’t feeling anything
My love, my hurt, or the sting of this rain
I’m driving through a hurricane
All he can say is man ain’t it such a nice day
Hey hey, I guess we’ll just go to waste
Like dead flowers

Like dead flowers
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

[Mooncat]

I found this song just a half hour ago, purely by accident. Things with my fiance are going downhill... he's just so distant anymore.  So I went outside to enjoy the last of the day and heard my neighbors playing this song, and I don't think it was a coincidence that I discovered a song that fits my current feelings.  So I asked them what song that was, and here it is. Just replace "girl" with "man" and it fits to a T.

Luke Bryan, "Do I"

Baby what are we becoming
It feels just like we’re always running
Rolling through the motions everyday
I can lean in to hold you, or act like I don’t even know you
Seems like you could care less either way
What happened to that girl I used to know
I just want us back to the way we were before

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the site of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I’m still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby
Give you everything that that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Baby, do I

Remember when we didn’t have nothing
But a perfect simple kind of loving
Baby those sure were the days
There was a time our love ran wild and free
Now I’m second guessing everything thing I see

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the site of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I’m still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby
Give you everything that that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life
Baby, do I

Still give you what you need
Still take your breath away
Light up the spark like I did, baby do I

Do I turn you on at all when I kiss you baby
Does the site of me wanting you drive you crazy
Do I have your love, am I’m still enough
Tell me don’t I, or tell me do I baby
Give you everything that that you ever wanted
Would you rather just turn away and leave me lonely
Do I just need to give up and get on with my life

Tell me baby do I get one more try
Do I, baby do I

[Katie]

o.O I was about to put the words for that... ^

Okay, on another more normal note:


"Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see
What I want and I need
And everything that we should be

I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she's got everything
That I have to live without

Drew talks to me
I laugh 'cause it's just so funny
I can't even see
Anyone when he's with me

He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

Drew walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be

She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky 'cause

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

So I drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight

'Cuz he's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

He's the time taken up but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see"

-Teardrops on my Guitar, Taylor Swift.

[Mooncat]

I love "Teardrops On My Guitar"!!!!

Here's one of my fave songs, that I listened to on repeat last night while I got drunk.  The part in bold is the part that really fits me.

Looking like another Bob Marley day
Hitting from the bong like a diesel train
And I'm down with hanging out this afternoon

We got weeds in the backyard, four feet tall
Cheech and Chong probably would have smoked them all
So I'm out on the couch this afternoon

Beer bottles laying on the kitchen floor
If we take them out back we can buy some more
So I doubt we’ll go without this afternoon

You better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on doesn't matter when you got to

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down
Then we'll do it all again
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon

Landlord says I should buy a tent
But he can kiss my a** 'cause I paid the rent
So I doubt, he'll kick me out this afternoon

Down on the corner in a seedy bar
Jukebox cranking out to CCR
Had a few to Susie Q this afternoon

You better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on doesn't matter when you got to

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down
Then we'll do it all again
Yeah, we get up, go out
Me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down
Then we'll do it all again
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon

Don’t want a wristwatch or an alarm clock to see what time it ends
From the moment I wake up I just love being with my friends
We barely get by, but have the best times and hope it never ends
We drink all day until we fall down, so we can do it all again

It's not the human walk, it's the human race
I feel we're living on the edge and taking too much space
So I'll doubt I'll figure out just what to do
About to kick it around, hanging out this afternoon

You better hang on if you're tagging along
'Cause we'll be doing this till six in the morning
Nothing wrong with going all night long
Tough to put the brakes on, doesn't matter when you got to

Get up, go out
Me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down
Then we'll do it all again
Yeah, we get up, go out
Me and all my friends
Drink up, fall down
Then we'll do it all again

Just kicking around, hanging out this afternoon
Sitting around, hanging out this afternoon
(Last call you sonsab*tches!)
Just kicking around, hanging out this afternoon
Just sitting around, hanging out this afternoon(X3)

La Cucaracha....
 

 Una cosa me da risa
Pancho Villa sin Camisa
Ya se van los carrancistas
Porque vienen los villistas
    La Cucaracha, la Cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene, porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
    Para sarapes, Saltillo
Chihuahua para soldados
Para mujeres, Jalisco
Para amar, toditos lados

Admin note: In future, kindly keep the glow effect out of your messages, it distracts from what you have posted and hurts the eyes. Also, knowing the rough translation of the song, I will let you know that it's not really an appropriate song for this site, no matter how often they played it on Loony Tunes.

"Round And Round"-Ratt

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf
Another day, some other way
We're gonna go, but then we'll see you again
I've had enough, we've had enough
Cold in vain, she said

(Pre-chorus)

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why

Dig

Lookin' at you, lookin' at me
The way you move, you know it's easy to see
The neon light's on me tonight
I've got a way, we're gonna prove it tonight
Like Romeo to Juliet
Time and time, I'm gonna make you mine
I've had enough, we've had enough
It's all the same, she said

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Yeah!

Solo

Out on the streets, that's where we'll meet
You make the night, I always cross the line
Tightened our belts, abuse ourselves
Get in our way, we'll put you on your shelf

(Chorus)

Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time, time, time, time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why, why, why, why
Round and round

[Mooncat]

This is a deep, personal song that describes my thoughts on life sometimes.  The parts in bold are the parts that fit really well.

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all...
Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself...
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
Keep on looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself...
Find yourself afraid to see?

-Nine Inch Nails, "Right Where It Belongs"

[IloveGarbage]

Enough Is Never Enough- Garbage


Searching for fun, where do you go?
Got your leather boots on
What do you know?
And they're playing garbage on the radio

Enter the dark, you wanna run
Enter the night where nobody knows you
Where the boys are and everybody's high

If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then
Come with us
If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then
Come with us

Back to the bar
Where the place is slamming
All the pretty queens
And the sluts are dancing
And the conscience of politicians slide

All sweat and lust
And filthy habits
All the wanna-bes
Hoping to sell their package
At the carnival of lonely broken hearts

If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then
Come with us
If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then
Come with us
If enough is never enough and
You're down at heart
If the world is getting you down then
Come with us

Come with us
Come with us
Come with us
Come with us

[Stelio Kontos]

"Heaven"-Warrant

I've got a picture of your house
and you're standing by the door.
It's black and white and faded,
And it's looking pretty worn.
See the factory that I worked
Silhouetted in the back.
The memories are grey, but man they're really coming back.

I don't need to be the king of the world
As long as I'm the hero of this little girl

Chorus:
Heaven isn't too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say

How I love the way you move
and the sparkle in your eyes
Theres a color deep inside them like a blue suburban sky
When I come home late at night
and you're in bed asleep
Now I wrap my arms around you so I can feel you breathe

I dont need to be a superman
As long as you will always be my biggest fan

Chorus:
Heaven isnt too far away
Closer to it everyday
No matter what your friends might say
We'll find our way

Now the lights are going out,
along the boulevard
Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard
I've got nowhere left to go
And no one really cares
I don't know what to do
But I'm never giving up on you.

[PoppieSkat]

So we built our own computer,
out of macaroni pieces
and it did our thinking while we lived our lives,
so we counted up our feelings and
divided them up even
and called that calculation perfect love...♥
