DESCRIBE HOW YOU LOOK:
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ask
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying past
-thirty two flavors
&
i want to be more than a pretty girl
-not a pretty girl
TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF:
i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
and i light up a room
i'm the color me happy girl
miss live and let live
and when they're out for blood
i always give
-pixie
&
i do it for the joy it brings
because i'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it's the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
everything i do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
and the woman who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff that they say
and she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry
-joyful girl
IF YOU COULD SAY ONE THING TO THE PERSON YOU "LIKE" WHAT WOULD IT BE:
i am walking
out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan
of the dial tone again
and i am getting
nowhere with you
and i can't let it go
and i can't get through...
i am writing
grafetti on your body
i am drawing the story of
how hard we tried
-both hands
HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW:
they say goldfish have no memory
i guess their lives are much like mine
the little plastic castle
is a surprise every time
it's hard to say if they are happy
but they don't seem much to mind
- little plastic castle
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR BEST FRIENDS:
i hope in the end we can laugh
and say it was all worth it...
maybe the most that we can do
is just to see each other through it...
and too much is how i love you
- hour follows hour
DO YOU HAVE A BOY/GIRLFRIEND:
i don't need anyone to hold me
i can hold my own
i got highways for strechmarks
see where i've grown
i sing sometimes
like my life is at stake
'cause you're only as loud
as the noises you make
-my i.q.
&
i want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
i want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time
i want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me go, you know
i never heard it put that way
make me say, what did you just say?
i want somebody who can hold my interest
hold it and never let it go
someone who can flatten me with a kiss
that hits like a fist
or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
if you hear me talking
listen to what i'm not saying
if you hear me playing guitar
listen to what i'm not playing
and don't ask me to put words
to all the silences i wrote
don't ask me to put words
to all the spaces between notes
in fact if you have to ask, forget it
do and you'll regret it
i'm tired of being the interesting one
i'm tired of having fun for two
just lay yourself on the line
and i might lay myself down by you
but don't sit behind your eyes
and wait for me to surprise you
i want somebody who can make me
scream until it's funny
give me a run for my money
i want someone who can
twist me up in knots
tell me, for the woman who has everything
what have you got?
i want someone who's not afraid of me
or anyone else
in other words i want someone
who's not afraid of themself
do you think i'm asking too much?
-asking too much
WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE DOING RIGHT NOW:
feels like reckless driving when we're talking
it's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
but no one's going to sympathize when we crash
they'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
and we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
i'm sorry i can't help you, i cannot keep you safe
i'm sorry i can't help myself, so don't look at me that way
we can't fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this.
- falling is like this
ANY WORDS OF ADVICE:
we are made to bleed
and scab and heal and bleed again
and turn every scar into a joke
we are made to fight
and fuck and talk and fight again
and sit around and laugh until we choke
sit around and laugh until we choke...
what doesn't bend breaks
- buildings and bridges
Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? - High Fidelity
