Songs For Aspies
I don't know really...it just kind of reminds me of WP...you know with the whole friendship theme and all.
Tom, you can strike it from your list if you like.
OMG I think I've heard thast song before! I've actually performed "The Pirates of Penzance" before. Awesome show.

Hello.
who were you? i was "Ruth".
I joined choir half way through the year, so the major roles had already been assigned. So I got to be a pirate. I didn't exactly have a costume though, it was clothes I found around my house. I ended up looking like a gay motorcycle gang member. Good thing it was a concert performance of the show. If I had gotten a part, I would've been The Pirate King or General Stanley (probably King).
Another song for the list!
Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy....for all those ego-centric Aspies like myself!

great song.
shame about the chorus stuff - the pirate king is SUCH a great part. in our version, we had a gay bloke play it, with the obvious result of "pirate queen". laugh a minute, or what?

"Pirate Queen" lol...Reminds me of my outfit I wore. It was a few clothes form around the house. A friend commented saying I look like a "Gay Motorcycle Gang Member Hobo Alcoholic Pimp", or something like that. I really need to find a picture.
And...another song!
John Kander and Fred Ebb(they wrote the song and music) - Mister Cellophane
...it's from my favorite musical Chicago and is about being ignored in social settings regardless of how loud you are.

Hello.
Cold - Don't Belong
My mind takes you to where you need to be
Cure for your heartbreak to take away the pain
I could describe each mistake for you
Tattoo it on my tainted heart
[Chorus]
well I won't ever tell the world
that I don't belong
Please don't ever tell the world
That I don't belong
That I don't belong
Can you still feel me or did I slip away
A sick man, a monster, broken still today
I can't explain what happens to me
Caught in the game I've always starred
I could decribe each mistake for you
Tattoo it on my tainted heart
[Chorus]
Well I won't ever change my ways
and I can't be strong
That I don't belong
and it's my own shame
I can't break your ways
[Chorus]
Well I won't ever change my ways
and I can't be strong
please don't ever tell the world
that I don't belong
that I don't belong
that I don't belong
Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
I'm walking down the road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's stuffed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
And know I'm still alive and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone up there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
List updated. Keep the recommendations coming.
I also took the liberty to add: Gollum's Song by Emiliana Torrini from the Two Towers soundtrack. After all, what Aspie can not relate to the character of Gollum?
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home
So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn't try
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home
You are lost
You can never go home
"Ordinary Day"-Great Big Sea
I've got a smile on my face, I've got four walls around me
The sun in the sky, the water surrounds me
I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise, it's not so bad
[Chorus]
And I say way-hey-hey, it's just an ordinary day
and it's all your state of mind
At the end of the day, you've still got to say,
it's all right.
See that girl on the street, what keeps her from dying
Let them say what they want, she won't stop trying
She might stumble, if they push her 'round
She might fall, but she'll never lie down
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful day, but there's always some sorrow
It's a double edged knife, but there's always tomorrow
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Keep the faith and your ship will come in.
It's not so bad
another GBS aspie song
Consequence Free
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended,
And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind?
I've always said all the rules are made for bending,
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?
Chorus:
Oh, and I wanna be consequence free
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
I wanna be consequence free
Just say na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
I could really use to lose my Catholic conscience
'Cause I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it, yeah, I've got the best intentions,
For a little bit of anarchy, but not the hurting kind
Chorus
I couldn't sleep at all last night
'Cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind
But you know it's not that easy
Oh for just one night
Wouldn't it be great if the band just never ended
We could stay out late, and we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission
We could slip off the edge, and never worry about the fall
Chorus
Na na na na na na na na na
This may have been suggested before:
Radiohead- "Creep"
When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You’re so f***in’ special
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
I don’t care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I’m not around
You’re so f***in’ special
I wish I was special
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here.
She’s running out again,
She’s running out
She’s run run run running out...
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so f***in’ special
I wish I was special...
But I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don’t belong here
I don’t belong here
Bush- "Glycerine"
Must be your skin that I’m sinking in
Must be for real cos now I can feel
And I didn’t mind
It’s not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything’s gone white
And everything’s grey
Now you’re here now you’re away
I don’t want this
Remember that
I’ll never forget where you’re at
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
I’m never alone
I’m alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it’s like strwaberry fields
I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn’t love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don’t let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn’t change though I wanted to
Could have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine (repeat)
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine
I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
That’s just fine
That’s just one of my names
Don’t let the days go by
Could’ve been easier on you
Glycerine
Metallica- "Unforgiven"
The Unforgiven
New blood joins this earth,
And quickly he's subdued,
Through constant pain disgrace,
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in,
This whipping boy done wrong,
Deprived of all his thoughts,
The young man struggles on and on he's known,
A vow unto his own,
That never from this day,
His will they'll take away
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives,
To running all of his,
He tries to please them all,
This bitter man he is,
Throughtout his life the same,
He's battled constantly,
This fight he cannot win,
A tired man they see no longer cares,
The old man then prepares,
To die regretfully,
That old man here is me
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never be,
Never see,
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt,
What I've known,
Never shined through in what I've shown,
Never free,
Never me,
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me,
I'll label you,
So I dub thee unforgiven
