i dont' give a d*** about my reputation - Joan Jett


Jett sings that? I've only heard it on the "Shrek" soundtrack, done by Half Cocked...if it's the same song.

Other songs for my list:

1) Jon Bon Jovi - "It's My Life"
2) Kenny Loggins - "Playing With The Boys" (Top Gun)
3) Heather Small - "Proud" - www.myspace.com/heathersmall (Queer As Folk, Season 1 soundtrack)

The reasons are quite simple.

1) I often feel pressure, like people are trying to control me and make decisions for me that I don't want. For example: A guy won't date me b/c I have short hair? That's his problem. I don't have the patience (or interest) in letting it grow out long like most guys want.
2) I've always been a tomboy, so I'm more comfortable around guys.
3) I'm quite stubbornly independent, so there's a lot I've done on my own. I've made tons of mistakes along the way, but I am proud of what I've accomplished.

clawfinger- nobody knows

i don't know, i don't care and i don't want to know or have to care about your problems.
that probably sounds heartless but i lost my heart years ago there is nothing but darkness in me now.

xemnas: don't count on help for your problems now.
oh s**t.
saix: oh now she regrets it.
yeah kind of but that will blow over.

for me, definatly untitled by simple plan

open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Save Me by Remy Zero (it is the theme song in Smallville)

feel the words unspoken inside

When they pull you under
And I would give you anything you want
Well all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around somebody save me
And two warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside

And they pull me under
I would give you anything you want
Well all I wanted
And all my dreams have fallen down
Crawling around somebody save me
And two warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I've been waiting for you

And all my dreams are on the ground

Crawling around somebody save me
And two warm hands break right through me
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save me

I've made this whole world shine for
Just stay
Stay
Come on
I'm still waiting for you

Love that song!

My pick right now would be "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who. It pretty much sums up the neurodivergenti vs. society feeling.

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man

Gayy Jule's mad world sums up my life

"Mad World"

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

I thought "Mad World" was a Tears for Fears song??

Mine are "Simple" by the Beta Band (I've just posted the lyrics on another thread), and the latter part of "Yancy Dangerfield's Delusions" by Compulsion:

"I need some ice, need some calmer dreams
Need some help, need some sympathy
I need some friends, some reality
I need some love, some security
Need some time, need some certainty
I need some pets, need some servicing."

Oh God there are so many...

"And in a dream are connected, siamese twins
At the wrist
And I knew we were forsaken,
expelled from paradise.."

Smashing Pumpkins - "Geek USA"


"And I'm alive
And I'm alone
And I never really wanted to be either of those.."

Chemical Brothers feat. Beth Orton - "Alive Alone"


"Shower in the dark day
Clean sparks diving down
Cool in the waterway
where the baptised drown
Naked in the cold sun
Breathing life like fire
I thought I was the only one
But that was just a lie"

Soundgarden - "4th of July"


"Clarity
just confuses me
The lines drawn on the map
a strange assembly.
when there's northerners and southerners
and westenders in Eastenders
and sunny days in January
left spaces in my diary..
and the demons never need to know"

Super Furry Animals - "Demons"


"Of all the things, a popular song can bring
A permanent picture of hope
Is what I hate the most
But now I'm happy, when I'm told to discover
There is no other"

Catherine Wheel - "Empty Head"


"It's good to see you smiling and the lack of sympathy
It's good to know the reasons, the reasons why
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
I deny myself
I destroy myself
I want to receive"

Catherine Wheel - "Receive"


"I won't be a monkey in anyone's zoo
and I won't get fazed, whatever you do.
Hit him again, he's crazy..."

Ride - "Not Fazed"


I could go on..... 8O

Mine is "Stuck in a moment you can't get out of" by U2. It practically tells the story of my life, or at least that how I see it. It's the only song in the world that always makes me cry when I hear it. Lyrics:

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard

I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing

I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see

And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep

I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

Devo - Mongoloid

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
One chromosome too many
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
And it determined what he could see

And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew

Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared

"Paperthin Hymn" by Anberlin.

While rather abstact, this is a song all AS ppl should listen to.


Listen to it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE1rQPrHpQ0


When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight
These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

(chorus)
Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of Violins become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember
to kiss the ones you love goodnight
You never know what temporal days may bring
So Laugh, love, live free, and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the Lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of Violins become my only friends

Friends............

I thought you said forever, over and over
