WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
"Easy as Life" from "Aida" -- living a life without romantic love? -- too true.
This is the moment when the gods expect me
To beg for help but I won't even try
I want nothing in this world but myself to protect me
But I won't lie down, roll over and die
All I have to do is to forget how much I love him
All I have to do is put my longing to one side
Tell myself that love's an ever-changing situation
Passion would have cooled and all the magic would have died
It's easy, it's easy
All I have to do is to pretend I never knew him
On those very rare occasions when he steals into my heart
Better to have lost him when the ties were barely binding
Better the contempt of the familiar cannot start
It's easy, It's easy
Until I think about him as he was when I last touched him
And how he would have been were I to be with him today
Those very rare occasions don't let up they keep on coming
All I ever wanted and I'm throwing it away
It's easy, it's easy as life
But then I see the faces of a worn, defeated people
A father and a nation who won't let a coward run
is this how the gods reward the faithful through the ages?
Forcing us to prove the hardest things we've done
Are easy
So easy
And though I'll think about him 'til the earth draws in around me
And though I choose to leave him for another kind of love
This is no denial, no betrayal but redemption
Redeemed in my own eyes and in the pantheon above
It's easy
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
It's easy as life
Love both of those soundtracks, and both of those songs. Wednesday's child. *sad smile*
WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?
30 Seconds to Mars "Depuis Le Début (From the Beginning)" --
LOL. Not sure what to say with that one. I like a guy who's done it all -- danced with a million devils, made love to a million angels, murdered a million men? I like a guy who's really lived?
Or can I just say I love the lead singer and leave it at that?
I danced with a million devils.
Died from a life of sin.
Made love to a million angels.
Murdered a million men.
There will be blood.
There will be blood.
There will be blood.
There will be blood.
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE?
Van Halen "Jump" -- rolling with the punches? that's good
I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real
Ah, can't you see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't you see what I mean?
Ah
Might as well jump
(Jump)
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump
(Jump)
Go ahead and jump
WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?
HIM "Heaven Tonight" -- Hmmm. Am I the lonely one with the eyes that have lost their light? Or am I trying to recapture the light in someone's eyes?
I hold your hand in mine
I hold your hand and you're so lonely
Oh so lonely
Your eyes have lost their light
Your eyes have lost their light and you're empty
Oh my God you're so empty
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
(I'm in love with you)
You are my heaven tonight
Trying to find the heart you hide
Trying to find the heart you hide in vain
Oh in vain
And you're my haven in life
And you're my haven in death, Baby
Life and Death my Darling

Shiny Toy Guns "Blown Away" -- "I've missed so many days in a world that has become an unfamiliar place." -- I'm lost? Losing it? *g*
Days
I haven't seen days
Just solid water
Down my face
Days
I've missed so many days
In a world that has become an unfamiliar place
Now to you, I'm just an unfamiliar face
I'm losing myself again
You swore you'd be around this time
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
Blown Away
Will you still be there
With your heart boarded up
Nailed with my mistakes
Should I start giving up
Or am I too late
I'm losing myself again
Turning us into friends this time
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
Blown Away
Sheltered days, everybody wants more
And take it away, everybody wants yours
These sheltered days, everybody wants more
We never change
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
When revelation calls
And everything is blown away
Blown Away
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OFTEN?
Evanescence "My Last Breath" -- "Closing your eyes to disappear.
You pray your dreams will leave you here.
But still you wake and know the truth." -- My dreams are better than my reality? Or death, the end, the hereafter?
Hold on to me, love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I'm not afraid, oh
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree
(Come and find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here
But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there
Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, calling me
As you fade to black
Holding my last breath
(Say goodnight)
Safe inside myself
(Don't be afraid)
Are all my thoughts of you
(Calling me, calling me)
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light, it ends here tonight
Holding my last breath
WHAT IS 2+2?
Massive Attack "Teardrop" (aka the theme from "House") -- "Love is a verb. Love is a doing word." -- 4 letters in love?
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Night, night after day
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my...
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
You stumble in the dark
You stumble in the dark

Sweet days of summer - the jasmine's in bloom.
July is dressed up and playing her tune.
When I come home from a hard day's work.
And you're waiting there.
I don't have a care
Not a care in the world.
See the smile waiting in the kitchen.
Food cookin' and the plates for two.
Feel your arms reaching out to hold me.
In the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze
Makes me feel fine,
Blowin' through the jasmine
In my mind.

Soon you'll belong to the blest.
Spare us your lives while we need you.
Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on.
Loud is the music. The sky is ringing.
Out of my head as the winter marches on.
And on.
Winter marches on.
WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Music Soulchild "Oh Holy Night" (the Xmas song) -- Your guess is as good as mine. ????
Oh, Holy Night
The stars
Are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear
Saviour's birth
Long lay the world in sin
And error pining
'Til He appeared
And the soul felt
It's worth a thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new
And glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh night
Oh, Holy night
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
When Christ was born
Oh, night divine
Oh, night
Oh, Holy night

Here's a photo I've been looking for
It's a picture of the boy next door

Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a photo of the neighborhood
Here's the corner where we stood
Here's a snapshot of Dad's old car
Never got us very far
Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighborhood
And all those friends
Where did they go, I don't know
All those friends we used to know
In the neighborhood

The Red West "Don't Fall In" -- "Don't run outta time." ???
Been waiting here for days
To hear your voice, to see your face
Who’s gonna pay the rescue bill
I’m all tapped out and I hope somebody will
Don’t run in outta time (?)
Looking for an answer, somebody to give me a sign
Don’t know that you will fall
One more face in a frame upon my bedroom wall
There’s no solicitations
‘Cause love is just an exaggeration
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
Don’t fall in too deep
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
‘Cause you might not get up off your feet
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
Don’t fall in too deep
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
‘Cause your life is right behind the door
Right behind the door
Don’t go and leave this town
Go quietly and fade without a sound
Things get worse when you fall from grace
Try to find me with an inner face (?)
There’s no solicitations
‘Cause love is just an exaggeration
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
Don’t fall in too deep
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
‘Cause you might not get up off your feet
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
Don’t fall in too deep
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)
‘Cause your life is right behind the door
Right behind the door
Don’t fall in (don’t fall in)

WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
"Supernatural" Torid -- ummm, no. Why is that even on my iTunes?
WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
NIN "Another Version of the Truth" -- instrumental -- the truth?
WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
"Desperately" Michelle Branch -- living alone? wanting what I can't have?
Something 'bout the way you looked at me
Made me think for a moment,
That maybe we were meant to be
Living our lives separately
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
Oh why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving it in but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it's strange that things change
But not me wanting you so desperately
You looked my way and said "you frustrate me"
Like you're thinking of lines and times
When you and I were you and me
We took our chance out on the street
Then I missed my chance
And chances are it won't be coming back to me
Why can't I ignore it?
I keep giving in, but I should know better
'Cause there was something 'bout the way you looked at me
And it strange that things change
But not me wanting you-
So desperately
So desperately
I keep giving in but I should know better
I keep giving in but I should know better
So desperately
I want you so desperately
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
U2 "With or Without You" --- ?????
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you
WHAT HURTS RIGHT NOW?
"El Diablo" Arcadia -- "Can't stand another howling day inside this empty skin" -- Enough said.
Enter newborn players and gather weight their innocence
Only the brightest shine but not forever
Many lights die, many tears rain
When those tears run dry on a mountain madness day
You were just in time for a foolish deal for love I sold
Can't stand another howling day inside this empty skin
While the beacons burn, I'll say "Await return from so far away"
One life with the devil do I play for so long
El Diablo is to blame, oh
Oh El Diablo, El Diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul?
Oh El Diablo, El Diablo
Won't you sell me back my soul?
Wedding is on the wind does she blow my way?
She can dance and she can sing, she will tear your heart away
While the promise burns, I'll stay and you will return from so far away
One life with the devil do I play for so long
El Diablo is to blame
One life with the devil do I play for so long
El Diablo is to blame
One life but the devil is in my way
Oh
