Just as every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints...
List five songs that you currently love. It doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the songs in your blog. Then tag five other Livejournal friends to see what they're listening to.

1) "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" by Jefferson Starship
Yeah, I know, I know. But it makes me so happy. We have the best song ever, Liz.
2) "Rescued" by Jacks Mannequin
This is another song given to me by Liz as part of the BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!!!! It's just one of those songs that's so lovely you want to go outside and gaze at the stars soulfully or something.
When it's quiet, does she hear me?
Jettisoned to the center of the storm
And I'm thinking I
Prefer not to be rescued
Oh, I can feel her, she's dying
Just to keep me cool
I'm finally numb, so please
Don't get me rescued...
*sighs* John/Atlantis OTP (lol, Liz, you're probably the only one who's going to understand that).
3) "Welcome to the New South" by Less Than Jake
Less Than Jake has always been a comfort band of mine. Chris' voice is familiar and comfortable and kind of like an old friend.
Welcome home, outcast, because I know how you have felt over the years
The truth is that looking at me is like looking in a mirror
And I know how it feels to be the best part of a running joke to all of your friends
And to be on the edge of your bed, with your head buried in your hands
Wishing that everything would end
Yeah, I know how it feels to be the loneliest...
This week has SUCKED. Like, really sucked. And listening to this song... it makes you cry harder, but it helps somehow. Thanks Chris.
4) "Sympathy for the Devil" by The Rolling Stones
This song is just so fucking cool. I kind of adore it and wish it wasn't so long and repetative or I would suggest singing it in Pitchforks.
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzlin' you is the nature of my game...
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, oh yeah
Hell yes. Badass.
5) "High School Confidential" by Carol Pope
lol, oh, Queer as Folk. You have completely bastardized my musical tastes. But, to be fair, I only love this song as much as I do because whenever I hear it I think of Randy Harrison doing that really hot backbend move on the stripper pole... all hail the King of Babylon!
What's that man doin' with him
It's that guy
And he's screwin' with him!
Can he feel the sex and sweat
He makes you cream your jeans
So you won't forget
High School
High School Confidential...
He drives a loaded jeep
With seats in the back
If you don't do him soon
You'll have a heart attack
When he flashes you a look
You wanna burn his books
Give up high school, well well well well...
