Bon Jovi ~ You Give Love a Bad Name. I have a great story about that song, but not one that I can share. :p
Quote:
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

Ramblin' where to begin
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
Been saved the warmer the waves
I felt a slip into a watery grave

You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get Over It - The Eagles
Quote:
Girl, close your eyes,
let that Rhythm get into you.
Don't try to fight it,
there ain't nothing that you can do.
Relax your mind.
Lay back and groove with mine.

Quote:
Isn't it strange
The way things can change
Life that you lead turned on its head
Suddenly someone
Means more than you felt before
House and its yard
Turns into home
Sorry, but I meant to say
Many things along the way
This one's for you...
That doesn't sound good.Quote:

I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
(I'll give you a hint: It is a current song and they couldn't possibly play it anymore. In fact, it was on two different stations at the same time on the way to the store, and then it was on again when I got home :crash:. )Quote:
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
Better than me....Hinder
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would,
I told you I was trouble...
Actually, it's really funny just not family friendly. ;)Quote:

We will come to your town
Burn your house down
Turn the sky brown
All because, all because, all because
Bicycle ~ Be Your Own Pet (Googled fer sure!)
Quote:
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on
Daniel Powter....Bad Day
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

Well I ain't got no use
For your red apple juice
And I'm not gonna be treated this a way
This a way this a way
And I'm not gonna be treated this way

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
twenty years
I don't know
sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone
And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

You too, Googled and almost missed. Is it Bob Seger "Twenty Years from Now"? Your Haiku The Rock was my clue. Hope I read it right. If I got it right, just call me Sherlock. ;) . Otherwise... [name-calling is most unpleasant :)]
Always tease tease tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, next day is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

I want a name when I lose

Deacon Blues by Steely Dan
Quote:
So I'll throw my thoughts into the sea
Where no one will ever find
And your marvelous episodes of pain
Will very soon be mine
I can't seem to shake this awful feeling
You wore, you wore, you wore me out
And I can't believe
no sorry, it's the Be Good Tanyas (but the title is right!)Quote:

Quote:
Well you know those times
When you feel like there's a sign there on your back
Say's I don't mind if ya kick me
Seems like everybody has
Things go from bad to worse
You'd think they can't get worse than that
And then they do

Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes man, it's hard to be clean
The worms will live in every host
It's hard to pick which one they eat most
The Beautiful People ~ Marylin Manson (Like wrestling, can't stand the singer!)
Quote:
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet-maker's son
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
He gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
He tried to be a soldier once, but his music wouldn't wait
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
leader of the band by dan fogelberg, I just heard this yesterday on the radio
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay
He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
Then in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word
Maybe I shall meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day
He'll build a little home
That's meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you
That would be 'The Man I Love' if I'm not mistaken.
There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now i've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye
Black Coffee In Bed ~ Squeeze (Googled the Artist, knew the song)
Quote:
I walk these streets
With a six string on my back
I play for keeps
Cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere
Still I'm standing tall
I've been a million places
And I've rocked them all
Wanted: Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Quote:
He's kind of tall
He's really fine
Some day I hope to make him mine, all mine
And he's neat
And oh so sweet
And just the way he looked at me
He swept me off my feet
Ooo whee, you ought to come and see
How he walks
And how he talks

Quote:
Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
you doing alright he said it's out there most
days and nights, but only a fool would
complain. Anyway Susan, if you like, our
conversation is as faint as a sound in my
memory, as those fingernails scratching on
my hull.
Nautical Disaster ~ Tragically Hip (Goggled-- Tragically not my cup of tea!)
Quote:
Hey mister can you help me
I'm a loner on the run
I'm just looking for tomorrow
And I ain't gonna hurt no one
I jumped headfirst into a bottle
I was looking for a friend
Came up just short of nothing
I didn't find the truth I only found an end

Hi Pen, are you a fan?:)
You say you feel like a natural person
You haven't got nothing to hide
So why do you feel imperfection
Cut like a sword in your side
Coz you're under the weather
Just like the world
And I need somebody to hold
When I turn out the light
You're out of sight
Although I know that I'm not alone
Feels like home
Of Bon Jovi? Oh yeah!
KT Tunstall ~ Under The Weather (Goggled)
Quote:
It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will-
Learn To Be Still ~ Eagles

Hello little boys, little toys
We’re the dreams you're believing
Crawling up the walls
Running down your face
Razor sharp, razor clean
Feel the weapon's sensation
On your back...

It was a macho barber shop.
Hair dryers were mounted on a rifle rack.
Wasn’t no mirrors. The barber chair was a Peterbilt...
Barber walked in; he was huge,
seven feet tall, three hundred pounds of spring steel and rawhide.
Wearin' a hard hat, chewin' a cigar, had a t-shirt on—-said, “I hate musicians.”
Threw me in the chair, sneered and said, “What’ll it be pal?”

Quote:
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

Is what you say about society

Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The first moment that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love
Little Ghost by the White Stripes
...these lyrics always make my boys laugh.Quote:
Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
Somebody Told Me -- The Killers
Quote:
So, what do you do?
Oh yeah, I wait tables too.
No, I haven't heard your band,
'Cause you guys are pretty new.
But if you dig on vegan food
Well come over to my work
I'll have them cook you
Something that you'll really love.

Hey what's the point of this
Hey what's your favorite song
Maybe we could hum along
I think you're smart
You sweet thing
Tell me your name
I'm dying here
