Here is on that has only to do with a cr*ppy relationship, but not an A...it's funny and cracks me up everytime I play it. I love the piano in it... "Foundation" by Kate Nash Thursday night, everything's fine Except you've got that look in your eye When I'm telling a story, and you find it boring You're thinking of something to say You'll go along with it, then drop it And humiliate me in front of our friends Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying And say something like, "Yeah, intelligent input, darling. Why don't you just have another beer then?" Then you'll call me a [censored] And everyone we're with will be embarrassed And I won't give a [censored] My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't You said I must eat so many lemons 'Cause I am so bitter I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate, 'Cause they are much fitter." Yes, it was childish And you got aggressive And I must admit that I was a bit scared But it gives me thrills to wind you up My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't Your face is pasty 'Cause you've gone and got so wasted What a surprise Don't want to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick You've gone and got sick on my trainers only got these yesterday Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning And I purposely won't turn the heating on And dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time that you're upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't. [Funny side note: this is our 5 year old's favorite line in the whole song: "I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate, 'Cause they are much fitter." She sings it at the top of her voice everysingletime it's played! And yes, I bleep out the bad words when the kids are around. ;)]

I know my mullet will be showing after this one... And you wear is surprisingly well, W2S. I owned a white leather jacket with fringe on the sleeves. I was so cool. I'm reminded now why they didn't stay cool very long. Hadn't heard this in years. Thanks for the flashback.

I once had blue bell bottoms with a gold window-pane plaid pattern to them that I wore with a gold Nehru jacket, a white shirt and a blue and gold tie...  I also had a pair of white pants and white shoes that I wore with a white belt and lavendar shirt... :MrEEk: My fringed jacket was tan suede...  But I also wore tie-dyed tee shirts at one time... Yep. I was a hippy type. Hair down to the middle of my back in those days.  I almost gave up boots and cowboy hats when Urban Cowboy came out.  Glad THAT burned out. :crosseyedcrazy: I even remember when pick-up trucks were for haulin' stuff in.

Garth Brooks - She's Gonna Make It He followed her to work this morning
He’d never seen that dress before
She seemed to sail right through
Those dark clouds forming
That he knows he’s headed for
After seven years of marriage
He wanted out
Now after seven months of freedom
It’s clear that there’s no doubt
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
He’s at the foot of the mountain
And she’s over that hill
He’s sinkin’ at sea
And her sails are filled
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
And you know it’s not like she’s forgot about him
She’s just dealing with the pain
And the fact that she’s survived so well without him
You know it’s driving him insane
And the crazy thing about it
Is she’d take him back
But the fool in him that walked out
Is the fool that just won’t ask
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
He’s at the foot of the mountain
And she’s over that hill
He’s sinkin’ at sea
And her sails are filled
She’s gonna make it
And he never will
Lord, she's gonna make it
And he never will

Love the group and have always loved this song but now it is especially meaningful to me. http://www.jango.com/music/Barenaked+Ladies?l=0Barenaked Ladies - Call and Answer I think its getting to the point Where I can be myself again I think its getting to the point Where we have almost made amends I think its the getting to the point That is the hardest part. And if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster I'll point you home You think I only think about you When were both in the same room You think I'm only here to witness The remains of love exhumed You think we're here to play A game of who loves more than whom And if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster I'll point you home You think its only fair to do what's Best for you and you alone You think its only fair to do the same To me when you're not home I think its time to make this something that is More than only fair So if you call, I will answer And if you fall, I'll pick you up And if you court this disaster I'll point you home. But I'm warning you, dont ever do Those crazy, messed up things that you do If you ever do I promise you I'll be the first to crucify you Now its time to prove that you've come back Here to rebuild. Rebuild Rebuild Rebuild If I had $1,000,000 is still my fave.

Groovy, Mark. You knew were "it" in your fine apparel, right?
And pick-up trucks... Common where I grew up and I lived on a farm so I hear ya. My H drove a Chevy Luv in high school. Okay, not a real truck, but enough of one. It had a bench seat so I could sit right by him and we fit in its bed just fine. I loved that truck.
You know, we should start another thread titled "Moments from our past that make us go 'DOH!' in a good way."
Now, back to the music.
(I love this thread.)

I'm sure I'd heard this song before but never paid attention to the lyrics until a few days ago when I heard it driving home. All those darn questions in a BS's head.  http://www.jango.com/music/All+Saints?l=0All Saints - Never Ever A few questions that I need to know how you could ever hurt me so I need to know what I've done wrong and how long it's been going on Was it that I never paid enough attention? Or did I not give enough affection? Not only will your answers keep me sane but I'll know never to make the same mistake again You can tell me to my face or even on the phone You can write it in a letter, either way, I have to know Did I never treat you right? Did I always start the fight? Either way, I'm going out of my mind all the answers to my questions I have to find My head's spinning Boy, I'm in a daze I feel isolated Don't wanna communicate I'll take a shower, I will scour I will rub To find peace of mind The happy mind I once owned, yeah Vexing vocabulary runs right through me The alphabet runs right from A to Z Conversations, hesitations in my mind You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find I'm not crazy I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no I'm just waiting 'Cause I heard this feeling won't last that long Never ever have I ever felt so low When you gonna take me out of this black hole? Never ever have I ever felt so sad The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad Never ever have I had to find I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind I've Never ever had my conscience to fight The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel righ I'll keep searching Deep within my soul For all the answers Don't wanna hurt no more I need peace, got to feel at ease Need to be. Free from pain - going insane My heart aches, yeah Sometimes vocabulary runs right through my head The alphabet runs right from A to Z Conversations, hesitations in my mind You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find I'm not crazy, I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong I'm just waiting 'Cause I heard this feeling won't last that long Never ever have I ever felt so low When ya gonna take me out of this black hole? Never ever have I ever felt so sad The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad Never ever have I had to find I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind I've Never ever had my conscience to fight The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right x4 You can tell me to my face, You can tell me on the phone, Uh, You can write it in a letter, babe 'Cause I really need to know You can tell me to my face You can tell me on the phone Uh, You can write it in a letter, bab 'Cause I really need to know You can write it in a letter, babe You can write it in a letter, babe

As long as we’re reminiscing, here’s one from the boys from’Bama: Jukebox In My Mind Artist: Alabama
Song: Jukebox In My Mind
In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.
I don't need no quarters, don't need any dime
You filled it up forever
When you said good-bye
Heaven knows I love old melodies
They were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playin' on my mind
Are drivin' me insane.
In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.
Song by song, those melodies
Were meant to ease the pain
But the kind that's playin' on my mind
Are drivin' me insane;
In the corner of my mind stands a jukebox
It's playin' all my favorite mem-o-ries
One by one, they take me back
To the days when you were mine
And I can't stop this jukebox in my mind.

The bass player/lead vocalist/song writer for this band had the same rolls in a band I ran sound for in the mid 70s. Though this clip is fairly old (April 1994) the guy can still sing... From King's-X: I Pretend You took away from me
I tried to get it back
And if you lie to me
I keep it to myself
A trick or treat but then
That don't make it right
I can't remember when
I could say goodnite
Then something comes into my head
And then a change
I work it out somehow
I guess I've got my ways
But then I wonder how did I get it wrong
It doesn't matter now
I pretend.
I pretend.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I take the longest walks
They always do me good
I just indulge myself
In sorrow singing blues
But then I have to laugh
Cause it's an outlet too
And if I add it all
It still just wouldn't do
I've come to realize
There's nothing I can lose
So I control myself
Nothing else to do
I'll just remember when
It comes around again
I'd rather be alone
I won't get hurt again
I pretend
I pretend
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Then something comes
Into my head and then a change
I work it out somehow
I guess I've got my ways
I take the longest walks
It always does me good
I just control myself
I pretend
I pretend
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

And another one from Doug and King's-X... From the 1989 album Gretchen Goes To Nebraska: I'll Never Be The Same She stands in the waiting
She looks down to speak
Your eyes speak invitation
To follow with the beat
Chorus:
She said
Oh no I'll never be the same
You struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same
I've come to know the color
Of indecisiveness
Tell me what I'm feeling
In seven words or less
Chorus:
She said
Oh no, I'll never be the same
You struck my heart like lightning
I'll never be the same
The way looks awful lonely
So long or maybe less
The time has passed so slowly
There's pressure on my chest
Your eyes speak invitation
To follow with the beat
So tell me what I'm feeling
In seven words so speak
(repeat chorus 2x)

THE TAKER
I’m not your average woman living an average life,
I saw what I wanted so I took a slice.
I’m not looking for approval for where I’ve been,
Your approval isn’t needed to absolve my sins.
Some call it love and some call it lust,
I call it pleasure when you call it rust.
If you think you can make a difference in me,
You better think twice, open your eyes and see.
Yeah, I’m a Taker,
I take what I want because it feels so good.
Yeah, you’re a Giver,
You give it to me like you know you should.
I take my men poor, ignorant and young,
I take my men dark, mysterious and hung.
We talk about things far from my life at home,
I help them with their rent and then they "F" my bones.
Then I bid them goodbye and I send them off packing,
with my Taker in control and my lust not lacking.
I’ve got to get home and put dinner on the table,
I’ve got to show my husband that we are stable.
So let me Take,
My needs are many.
And you can give,
Every last penny.
So if you’re lookin’ to lay a little guilt on me,
Don’t be barking up this withered old tree.
I’ve traveled way past your moral lesson,
You must not have noticed with who your mess’n.
And at the end of my life with my children all grown,
Far past my guilt and the love I’ve thrown
Most think that these many years I was giving,
None know the truth of this lie I’ve been living.
I don’t care, because I’m a Taker,
I take his love without remorse.
Because he don’t care, he’s a Giver,
He never knew who I really was of course.
Take a look at me I’m a Taker,
Living my life in an empty hole.
All these years he’s been a Giver,
May God have mercy on my soul.
May God have mercy on my soul………
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows," Bob Dylan

Out on the tar plains
the glides are moving
all looking for
a new place to hide
You sit beside me
so newly charming
sweating dewdrops glisten
freshing your side
And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart
Way down the lane away
living for another day
the aphids swarm up
in the drifting haze
swim seagull in the sky
towards some hollow
western isle
my envied lady
holds you fast
in her gaze
And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver
And watching lovers part
I feel you smiling
what glass splinters
lie so deep in your mind
to tear out from your eyes
with a word to stiffen
brooding lies
and I'll only watch
you leave me
further behind
And the sun drips down
bedding heavy behind
the front of your dress
all shadowy lined
and the droning engine
throbs in time
with your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver
Sing, Sing Blue Silver
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

Up for a slow but groovy beat? (Close your eyes and sway…) "Drift Away" (AKA "Give Me The Beat Boys") by The Doobie Brothers Day after day, I'm more confused Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain You know that's a game that I hate to loose And I'm feelin' the strain Ain't it a shame Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind Now I'm countin' on you To carry me through Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Yea, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through To soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song And rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along Makin' me strong Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Oh-ho, ah-no Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Hey, hey, hey, yeah Give me the beat boys and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock n roll And drift away Na, Na, now won't ya Won't ya take me Oh-ha, take me (Lyrics as posted on www.stlyrics.com)

My current favorite: This time, I wonder what it feels like To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of But dreams just aren't enough So I'll be waiting for the real thing, I'll know it by the feeling The moment when we're meeting, will play out like a scene Straight off the silver screen So I'll be holding my breath, right up 'til the end Until that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with Cause nobody wants to be the last one there Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares Someone to love with my life in their hands There's gotta be somebody for me like that Cause nobody wants to go it on their own And everyone wants to know they're not alone There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere There's gotta be somebody for me out there Tonight, out on the street, out in the moonlight And dammit this feels too right, it's just like déja vu Me standing here with you So I'll be holding my breath, could this be the end? Is it that moment when, I find the one that I'll spend forever with Cause nobody wants to be the last one there Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares Someone to love with my life in their hands There's gotta be somebody for me like that Cause nobody wants to go it on their own And everyone wants to know they're not alone There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere There's gotta be somebody for me out there You can't give up, (when you're looking for) a diamond in the rough (cause you never know) When it shows up, (make sure you're holding on) Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on Cause nobody wants to be the last one there And everyone wants to feel like someone cares Someone to love with my life in their hands There's gotta be somebody for me, oh Nobody wants to go it on their own And everyone wants to know they're not alone There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere There's gotta be somebody for me out there Nobody wants to be the last one there Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere There's gotta be somebody for me out there Gotta Be Somebody by Nickelback. lyrics.com

My all-time favorite song by my all-time favorite group. Doesn’t matter what’s going on in my life, it's always appropriate. (Next time I’ll post my other favorite of theirs, “Barracuda,” just to mix it up here a bit.) "Love Alive" by Heart, album [i]Little Queen[/i] (1977) The Sky was dark this morning When I raised my head I stood at the window - Darkness was my bane Suddenly a sunbeam arc Thrilled me to my weary heart It was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen I knew I had to keep my Love Keep my Love alive Keep my Love - Keep my Love live Baby I want you to roll me Hold me in your love No more habits, promises and jive Ever since I was a baby girl Wanted one thing most in this world It was to Keep My Love - Keep My Love alive I want to keep my Love - Keep my Love alive Keep my Love - keep my love alive You're up there under the spotlight Your silver trophy shines With all you got, my lord! You must get high You need a whole lot more than money You need more than to survive You gotta to keep your Love Keep your Love alive (Lyrics as found on http://www.sing365.com) (I dare you to tell me that the middle instrumental/"ahhhh" part of the song didn't lift your spirits. I dare you...)

I love "Keep My Love Alive", but my favorite part of the song has nothing to do with the lyrics - I love the guitar solo in the middle of the song. I could listen to that all day. (Well, not ALL day...)
