Song Quotes/Lyrics

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?



I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?



You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain (so vain)
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you?

Good morning, lethargy
Drink Pepsi - it’s good for energy
The bath’s on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat, and on my neck a nasty bruise
And where it came from
Well I don’t know
But we played last night - it was a good show

Got the play-out on a second rate chat show
A nationwide deal, so we gotta go
Jeff from the company says it’ll be alright
Got an ad on Kroq
And there’s an in-store tonight
Well I build things up
Then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio

Look inside America
She’s alright, she’s alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I’m not trying to make her mine
Looking for America
With it’s kookie nights
And suicides
Tv says it’s alright
'Cause everybody’s hung up
On something or other

Stepping off in twenty
So the driver says
I should sleep tonight
But I think I’ll watch videos instead
Annie hall leaves new york in the end
Press rewind and woody gets her back again
And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don’t know that it means much to me

Look inside America
She’s alright, she’s alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I’m not trying to make her mine
I’m looking for America
With it’s kookie nights
And suicides
Tv says it’s alright
'Cause everybody’s strung out
On something or other

And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don’t know that it means much to me

Gonzo gets a free ounce of phernium for mentioning KROQ.

How Do You Sleep? by John Lennon.


So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mother's eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since you're gone you're just another day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon they'll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts & hope to die

Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut

Ask yourself
Will I burn in Hell?
Then write it down
And cast it in the well
There they are
The mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into fire wood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say

Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good

Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash and bone

i'll fight if you want me to fight.
i'll laugh if you want me to laugh
and cancel out the sun.
i will
i will
you know i surely will.

'cause all you need is a pretty song.
and if you wanna sing,
tell me what you wanna sing
and i'll play.
yeah, i'll play.
speed it up or slow it down
if you want, we'll change the sound.
we'll play.
yeah we'll play anything that you want.
all we want from you is a word or two.

and even though we don't show
we'll cast our nets like missionaries
if we sell out, oh well.
our only fan will be changing costumes.
and you'll see it's much the same.
so sing our songs.
and for applause, we'll get up.
get up.

if you wanna sing,
tell me what you wanna sing
and i'll play.
yeah, i'll play.
speed it up or slow it down
if you want, we'll change the sound.
we'll play.
yeah we'll play anything that you want.
all we want from you is a word or two.

i've been worth a ton.
and i've been worth - i don't need you now.
the words you write make my heart race and stop.
and just quit.

yeah we'll do anything that you want.
so please don't go and break my heart.

i'll fight if you want me to fight.

Jimmy Eat World - "Work"

If you only once would let me,
Only just one time—
Then be happy with the consequence,
With whatever's gonna happen tonight;

Don't think we're not serious;
When's it ever not?
The love we make is give and it's take—
I'm game to play along;

All I can say
I shouldn't say—
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time;

All the best DJs are saving
Their slowest song for last;
When the dance is through it's me and you—
Come on, would it really be so bad?

The things we think might be the same,
But I won't fight for more;
It's just not me to wear it on my sleeve—
Count on that for sure

All I can say
I shouldn't say—
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time;

Can't say I was never wrong,
But some blame the rest on you;
Work and play—they're never ok
To mix the way we do;

All I can say
I shouldn't say—
Can we take a ride?
Get out of this place while we still have time;

Fall Out Boy - "Grand Theft Autumn"

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman;
Maybe he won't find out what I know—
You were the last good thing about this part of town;

When I wake up
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget that you hate him
More than you notice—I wrote this for you:

You need him;
I could be him;
I could be an accident but I'm still trying—
That's more than I can say for him;

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman;
Maybe he won't find out what I know—
You were the last good thing about this part of town;

Someday I'll appreciate in value—
Get off my ass and call you,
For the meantime I'll sport my
Brand new fashion of waking up with pants on at four in the afternoon;

You need him;
I could be him;
I could be an accident but I'm still trying—
That's more than I can say for him;

Where is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman;
Maybe he won't find out what I know—
You were the last good thing about this part of town;


Fall Out Boy - "Sugar, We're Going Down"

Am I more than you bargained for? Yet,
I've been dying to tell you
Anything you want to hear—
'Cause that's just who I am this week;

Lie in the grass
Next to the mausoleum;
I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
But you're just a line in a song;

Drop a heart,
Break a name;
We're always sleeping in
And sleeping for the wrong team;

We're going down, down in an earlier round;
And sugar, we're going down swinging;
I'll be your number one with a bullet—
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it;

Is this more than you bargained for? Yet,
Oh, don't mind me I'm watching
You two from the closet—
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans;

Isn't it messed up
How I'm just dying to be him?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
But you're just a line in a song;

Drop a heart,
Break a name;
We're always sleeping in
And sleeping for the wrong team;

We're going down, down in an earlier round;
And sugar, we're going down swinging;
I'll be your number one with a bullet—
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it;

Dear Diary

Mood: Apathetic

My life is spiraling downward. I couldn’t get enough money to go to the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks cause they play some of my favorite songs like “Stab my heart because I love you” and “Rip apart my soul” and of course “Stabby rip stab stab” And It doesn’t help that I couldn’t get my hair to do that flippy thing either…like that guy from that band can do….some days you know...

I’m an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You’d be non-conforming too if you look just like me
I have paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I’m almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real deep when dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a f**
Our dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo

I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

I’m dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister’s mascara now I’m grounded for a week
Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can’t get through a hawthorne heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me, it’s never any fun
They say they already have a p****, they don’t need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo

I don’t jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo

Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo

I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

my life is just a black abyss... ya know..it’s so dark. And it’s suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the way.

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped gives me an erection
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I’m just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me “Catcher in the Rye” and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said that I like girls I’d only be half right

I look like I’m dead and dress like a h***
must be emo

Screw xbox I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo

I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo

Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

My parents don’t get me ya know. They think I’m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy…well, a couple guys …but still, I mean it’s the 2000’s, can’t two…or 4 dudes make out with each other without being gay. I mean, chicks dig that kinda thing anyways. I don’t know diary, sometimes I think you are the only one that gets me…you’re my best friend.

Alkaline Trio - "Private Eye"
---------------------------------------

I dragged this lake looking for corpses
Dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
Pieces of planes and black box recorders
Don't lie
Don't lie
And I've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
That sense DNA on barbed wire fences
Maybe someday I'll find me a suspect
That has no alibi

New Year's Eve was as boring as heaven
I watched flies f*** on channel 11
There was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
And there's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry

But at the right place at the right time
I'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
And I won't have to quit doing f***ed up sh**
For anyone but me
And at the right place at the right time
It will have been worth it to stand in line
And you won't have to stop
Saying "I love cops" for anyone but me,
Your private eye

Samael: Reign of Light
Song: Inch'allah

Sing the same song along the way
Keep focused throughout the day
Take a ride on your mantra
From your life, have an overall view
Simultaneously here and there
Be prepared for what is new
Put a light on a new world
Deep rooted in the past
Link your current thoughts
With the basis of your Dogma

On and on we keep growing inside
Hopefully for a long, long time
Side by side hope and remorse
Lead us to our realm Inch'Allah

Philosophically negentropic
Religiously entropic
The shelter of one thought is a jail for the mind
The shelter of one thought is a jail for the mind
Be aware of what you need
Be a temple of your own...

On and on we keep growing inside
Hopefully for a long, long time
Side by side hope and remorse
Lead us to our realm Inch'Allah

Put a light on a new world
Deep rooted in the past
Link your current thoughts
With the basis of your Dogma

On and on we keep growing inside
Hopefully for a long, long time
Side by side hope and remorse
Lead us to our realm Inch'Allah

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It’s eating me apart
Trace this line back

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know

I was at a funeral the day I realised
I wanted to spend my life with you
Sitting down on the steps at the old post office
The flag was flying at half-mast
And I was thinkin' 'bout how everyone is dying
And maybe its time to live

I don't know, where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Walked into the Thrifty
Saw a man with the hollow eyes
who didn't give me all my change
But it didn't bother me this time
'cause I know I've only got
this moment
And it's good
I went to the gas station
Old woman honked her horn
Waiting for me to fix her car

I don't know, where we're going
I don't know what we'll do

Laying in bed tonight Im was thinking
and listening to all the dogs
and the sirens and the shots
And how a careful man tries to dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk

And maybe it's time to live

"Options" By: Pedro the Lion

We were walking, holding hands
With our bare feet in the sand
And the seagulls over head
When I broke the spell and said
I could never divorce you
Without a good reason
And though I may never have to
It's good to have options
But for now
I need you
But for now
I need you
But for now
I need you
But it was only in my head
Because no one ever says
What they really mean to say
When there's so much at stake
So I told her I loved her
She told me she loved me
And I mostly believed her
And she mostly believed me

Outside there is a war
in here, the night is still.
The jasmine buds have bloomed
the way a jasmine will
and I have given birth to a speckle of dust,
to a sparkle of light, to a small hint of life.

Frail as a flower in the morning
is this tiny work of art
when I see his face before me,
this is too much for one heart.
Here, like a seedling in a garden,
is a world about to start
how I need you here to share it,
this is too much for one heart!

Yours, half of all of this is yours,
and I swear upon the moon!
Soon you will see
the best of you and me
in a smile that is shining
on the face of your son.
All alone, in my arms I hold such beauty
I want time to stop right here
make perfection last forever,
in which I could disappear!

Disappear!

Yours, half of all of this is yours,
and now I feel you coming near!
Here you will see
the best of you and me
both our stories combining
in this life we've begun!
I have been living with such wonder
that my soul could burst apart!
Knowing soon we'll be together
and it's too much for one heart!

*This song was actually cut from the play during production: it was sung by Lea Salonga during her Broadway Concert in 2002.

Idle-wilds: love steals us from lonliness (best song ever in my opinion)


Every step takes a beat of your heart
Through a city that's falling apart
On a night that rises and clears
In a sky that's clouded by years
My anger is a form of madness
So I'd rather have hope than sadness
And you said something
You said something stupid like
Love steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday
Are you lonely yet?

I misplaced your face in the shape of a smile
On a night that could never surprise me
Don't tell me you're afraid of the past
It's only the future that didn't last
You're kidding yourself, kidding yourself
You're going nowhere and you're going there fast

And you said something
You said something stupid like
Love steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday
Are you lonely yet?

You said something
You said something stupid like
Love won't steal us from loneliness
Happy birthday

You said something
You said something stupid like
Love won't steal us from loneliness
Happy birthday
Are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?

Four o’clock in the morning
My mind’s filled with a thousand thoughts of you
How you left me without a warning
But looking back I’m sure you tried to talk it through

Now I say it so clearly
We have been together but living separate lives

So, I wanna tell you I’m sorry
Baby, I can’t find the words
But, if I could
Than you know I would, yeahhhhhh

No, I won’t let go
No why we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
As I had it all right there before my eyes, yeahhhh
Girl I’m sorry now you were the last thing on my mind

You carried me like a river
How far we have come still surprises me

Now, I look in the mirror (look in the mirror)
Staring back is a man I used to be with you
How I longed for you

No, I won’t let go
No why we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
As I had it all right there before my eyes, yeahhhh
Girl I’m sorry now you were the last thing on my mind

Girl I’m sorry I was wrong
Couldn’t be there, should have been so strong
So, I’m sorry

Ohhhhhhh
No, I won’t let go
No why we can be
I won't watch my life crashing down on me
As I had it all right there before my eyes, yeahhhh
Girl I’m sorry now you were the last thing on my mind (on my mind)

I won't watch my life crashing down on me
As I had it all right there before my eyes, yeahhhh
Girl I’m sorry now you were the last thing on my mind
On my mind (on my mind)

Huh, I thought I had Cake's Frank Sinatra... oh well.


Ted Leo and the Pharmacists: Me and Mia

As I was walking through a life one morning
The sun was out, the air was warm
but ohh, I was cold,
and though I must have looked a half a person,
to tell the tale in my own version,
It was only then that I felt whole.

Do you believe in something beautiful?
Then, get up and be it!

Fighting for the smallest goal to
get a little self control.
I know how hard you try.
I see it in your eyes.
Call your friends, 'cause we've forgotten
What it's like to eat what's rotten,
and what's eating you alive,
might help you to survive.

We went on, as we were on a mission,
latest in a grand tradition.
Ohh, what did we find?
It was Ego who was flying the banner,
Me and Mia, Ann and Ana, ohh,
we'd been unkind.

Do you believe in something beautiful?
Then, get up and be it!

Fighting for the smallest goal to
get a little self control.
I see it in your eyes.
I see it in your spine, but
Call your friends, 'cause we've forgotten
What it's like to eat what's rotten,
and what's eating you alive,
might help you to survive, and

Even the nights they could get better.
and even the days ain't all that bad.

And after a week of fighting,
as more and more it seems the right thing

Do you believe in something beautiful?
Then, get up and be it!

Fighting for the smallest goal to
gain a little self control
Won't anybody here, just let you disappear?
Now, doctors know your mom and dad,
but me and Mia, Ann and Ana
know how hard you try,
don't you see it in my eyes?

Sick to death of my dependence,
Fighting food to find transcendence.
Fighting to survive.
More dead, but more alive.
Cigarettes and speed for living,
sleeping pills to feel forgiven.
I know that you can try,
And all that you're deprived.

What a bourgeois social angel!
Telling you you've got to change.
Don't have any idea.
They'll never see so clear.

But don't forget what it really means to
hunger strike, when you don't really need to
Some are dying for a cause, but that don't make it yours.

And even the nights that could get better...
