She's lucky my parents love her just as much; her dad and stepmonster are away for the weekend, they don't give a fuck what she does, so long as she doesn't get pregnant or date any boy from a non-six-figure-plus-income household. Jerk-offs. My parents, they adore Caroline, beautiful Caroline with the long caramel hair, the big cherry Tootsie Pop lips, the juvenile delinquent arrest record. They won't care if she stumbles from my room into the kitchen tomorrow afternoon all disheveled and hung over. She's the one, not me, who meets their expectation of what the daughter of an Englewood Cliffs-livin', fat-cat record company CEO should be: wild.*
JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS - do you wanna touch (yeah) (
♫ )
My, my, my
Whiskey and rye
Don't it make you feel so fine
Right or wrong
Don't it turn you on
Can't you see we're wastin' time, yeah
Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch (yeah)
Do you wanna touch me there, where
There, yeah
LADY GAGA - dance in the dark (
♫ )
Run run
Her kiss is a vampire grin
The moon lights her way while she's howlin' at him
She looks good
But her boyfriend says she's a tramp
She's a tramp
She's a vamp
But she still does her dance
TOKYO POLICE CLUB - wait up (boots of danger) (
♫ )
I'm on your team
But I never know when you're not
You never wear shoes without your socks
You never tell anything to me
I'm on your side
But only for a while, of course
You never use words you can't afford
A house of cards and it's a sign
3OH!3 - i can do anything (
♫ )
I can smell the roses
Or watch as it decomposes
I can be one of those models shoving coke up their noses
I can live in the streets
Or I can rot in a mansion
I can live off the beats
Or I can die from the dancin’
I ain’t gonna take no shit from no one
I ain’t gonna take no lip from no one
You ain’t gonna try to get me to hold on
It’s golden now
Why would I slow down?
THE BEATLES - she came in through the bathroom window (
♫ )
She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon
She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew but I could not say
And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She would steal what she could not rob
LADY SOVEREIGN - i got the goods (
♫ )
You want me for my pennies
You want me for my dimes
You want me for my Henrys
You want me for my rhymes
I won't be fooled by dickheads
I won't be fooled by lies
I won't be friends with Klingons
I'll spray lemon in their eyes
LITTLE BOOTS - remedy (
♫ )
Spin me faster like a kaleidoscope
All I've got's the floor
Yeah you can try but I found the antidote
Music is the cure
So you can try to paralyze but I know best this time
And when the music fades away
I know I'll be OK
Contagious rhythms in my brain
Let it play
ANGUS AND JULIA STONE - and the boys (
♫ )
Well it's been days now
And you change your mind again
All the cracks in the walls reminds you of things we said
And I could tell you that I won't hurt you this time
But it's just safer to keep you in this heart of mine
And the boys go on and on and on and on
And the boys go on and on and on and on
And there's gold falling from the ceiling of this world
Falling from the heartbeat of this girl
Falling from the things we should have learned
Falling from the things we could have heard
THE NAKED & FAMOUS - young blood (
♫ )
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-betweens
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate
SAY HI TO YOUR MOM - oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (
♫ )
If the devil was a girl
And she wore a yellow tee
It would be a spitting image
But that's okay with me
It's the flip of her hair
It's the sound of her verbs
It's the shape of her legs
It's the way that she curses
THE DEAD WEATHER - die by the drop (
♫ )
Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave
I never said we was equal
I never wished to be saved
If I'm a problem then preach on
Let's dig a little grave
