You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds But soon you'll cage me on your shelf I'll never learn to be just me first By myself
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own, you and me Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, You want to marry me, we'll marry https://youtu.be/Ux7HgO9QhAc?si=_FZeJpbKyuUK54pR
"Coming Around Again"
Baby sneezes, Mummy pleases, Daddy breezes in So good on paper, So romantic, But so bewildering ... You pay the grocer, You fix the toaster, Kiss the host good-bye Then you break a window, Burn the soufflé, Scream a lullaby
The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain And the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again https://youtu.be/DR1HNHLsSAQ?si=FJDhkUyA5AafPJjg Simon wrote this song for the movie "Heartburn," about a mother who leaves her unfaithful husband while pregnant.
"The Princess Who Saved Herself" by Jonathan Coulton
There was a castle by a waterfall, With a pink and purple wall, And a princess living there.
She had no parents and was all alone, She got by on her own, And she liked it pretty well.
'Cause she never wore her socks, She had a pet snake, She bought a red guitar, And she ate a whole cake. And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do, So she did what she wanted to. https://youtu.be/T9KvA2eWjwY?si=gkBi24RXiYOLSLOc
"Girl Land" from "Free to be You and Me"
Welcome to Girl Land My good little girls! Admission's a wink And a toss of your curls
Wonderful Girl Land... The island of joys! Where good little girls Pick up after the boys
So, come on in… and look about… You go in a girl And you never GET OUT!! HaHa!
They're boardin' up Girl Land Some say it's too bad They try to remember some fun that they had And other folks say it was no fun at all Bein' a girl in Girl Land https://youtu.be/HzPCnx8gWmM?si=N-owHzjjAu18ZykN
You know how us Catholic girls can be Hey, yeah, hey yeah, yeah We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday
We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir Oh, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question…
We all had delusions in our heads We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did…
_________________ Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven. – Satan and TwilightPrincess
I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew The Friday night charades of youth Were spent on one more beautiful At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces Lacking in the social graces Desperately remained at home Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, "Come dance with me" And murmured vague obscenities At ugly girls like me At seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain Of valentines that never came And those whose names were never called When choosing sides for basketball
