The Secret Marraige by Sting



Look around you, look up here

Take time to make time, make time to be there

Look around, be a part.

Feel for the winter but don't have a cold heart.

And I love you best, you're not like the rest.

You're there when I need you, you there when I need

I'm gonna need you





Love to All,

Barb

"Brand New Dream" by Michelle Malone





"C'mon baby

I'm much

Stronger than you know

Sometimes

I'm not afraid

To let it show"

Aww that's Tori Amos' old work, 'cool on your island'.



Hold your hands up to the sky and try

so hard to rise above

But everything is beating down

[mserychic]

That's Fuels Bittersweet!



Always thought that hell was the only place

hot enough to melt our hearts into a locked embrace

There’s something so safe about a lack of air

the only way to make sure that you’ll always be there

That's Burn,Don't Freeze by Sleater-Kinney





I know that I could do it

I know that I'd be swell

A cheering crowd would yell for more

And I'd say 'No, not another encore'

smile and bid a fond farewell



eta: ok, that was Stripper by the Kelley Deal 6000.



Here's an easy one...



Hanging on a frequency and burning like a fire,

boy you've got the motion down, it's getting late, I'm tired

and I've lost control, don't leave me here, time is running out,

take me down the highway like a rocket to the ocean,

we can run,

today could last another million years,

today could be the end of me...

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog...He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world...When all other friends desert, he remains. - George G. Vest

The Telex machine is kept so clean

And it types to a waiting world.

A mother feels so shocked,

Father's world is rock

And their thoughts turn to their own little girl.

Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen

Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat.

They can see no reasons

'Cause there are no reasons,

What reasons do you need?

That's Tori Amos I Don't Like Mondays.



push thru their greatest fears and

live past your memories tears cuz

you don't need to scratch inside

just please hold onto your pride

so don't let them bring you down and

don't let them fuck you around cuz

those are your arms that is your heart and

no no they can't tear you apart

[oneyedchicklet]

Mserychic,

Actually, I didn't know that Tori Amos did that song. The Boontown Rats did it originally in 1979. Hey but you got the title so Yay for that.



Love to all,

Keep on Livin', by Le Tigre. I didn't even have to consult my Le Tigre site for that (grin). . . They were playing it in the bookstore today while I was there - that and Much Finer and Dyke March 2001. That's what you'll get from the school Kathleen dropped out of.

Dear Diary by Pink



Drawn like moths we drift into the city

The timeless old attraction

Cruising for the action

Lit up like a firefly

Just to feel the living night

Hey Barb, you chose one of my all time fav songs and bands.



"Subdivisions", by Rush. Nice to get the lyrics of songs w/o help from a search engine.



Next one.



Born without a family,

Born without a name,

Free this weeping willow,

From drowning in a flood of tears



P.S. Canada ROCKS!

That's Sarah McLachlan Angel. Love that song! Well since it's all I've been listening to lately...



Tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

In the place where I make no mistakes

In the place where I have what it takes

I'm never gonna know you now but I'm gonna love you anyhow

Elliot Smith.... Waltz #2







I'll end up mad before life is through with me

guilty old me

I think I'll pay my dues and

drive real fast to stand in line

Then I'll wrack my brains to find some chaos

as the image forms

I'll let it swallow up my mind

Why can't we just sit here and kiss?

Come one let's go.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained,

After singing it while raiding my cd's that's Cadallaca Winter Storm '98.



When she talks, I hear the revolution

In her hips, there's revolution

When she walks, the revolution's coming

In her kiss, I taste the revolution

Rebel Girl! By Bikini Kill! I'm loving this Kathleen Hanna action! I saw Tribe 8 open for Le Tigre once. Their last song the introduced by saying that they wrote it in the eighties, and everybody always wondered who it was about. They then siad that it was about Kathleen Hanna, of course, and asked "how many of you dykes in the audience have crushes on her?" There was cheering, then they dedicated the song to her, from "us, and all the other dykes who love her" and then they broke into a funny dykey cover of Bikini Kill's Rebel Girl "They say she's a dyke, but I know, she is my girlfriend, yeah." It was so great.



Aaaaand The Boys of Summer, covered by so so many people and virtually a cliche in music media. The phrase, not the song.



My lyrics:



Spaghetti is from China but Italians make it best

Ants can make an anthill and monkeys make a nest

Hungary isn’t hungry

And French fries aren’t from France

Turkeys aren’t from Turkey – they can’t fly but they can dance

BIKINI KILL - Rebel Girl





I never will forget those nights

I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy?

Remember how I made you scream

Now I don't understand what happened to our love

But babe, I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

That's The Used Blue and Yellow. Was that Le Tigre/Tribe 8 show in Santa Cruz earlier this year?! I know at that show Tribe 8 did a cover of Rebel Girl and it was just the coolest thing ever!

(grin) A bit of a departure from the dykey music that's been reigning, Jenpurr. I'm not going to toss in the answer yet, but I wanted to respond - the Le Tigre/Tribe 8 show was in San Diego, but surely of the same tour. I moshed with Lynn Breedlove!!! and she kissed me.

Delurking to say that it's David Bowie in Labyrinth. Loved that film.



Wash me away

Clean your body of me
