Song Survey
So I'm behind the times. I still like it :)
1. Who are you?
The north is to south what the clock is to time.
There’s east and there’s west and there everywhere life.
I know that I was born and I know that I’ll die.
The in between is mine. I am mine.
Pearl Jam, "I Am Mine"
2. What do you look like?
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
West Side Story, "I Feel Pretty"
3. What is your secret?
for every one yeah
there's a person, place or time,
that brings you back and makes you feel alive.
before your reason clouds your eyes,
when you could rule the world if you wanted to...
yeah.
Better Than Ezra, "Cry In The Sun"
4. What do you want to be?
And everything I want to be
Is just another silly dream, you see
But I'll keep dreaming just the same
Sometimes it's hard to be me
When people stand in my way
I get so easily discouraged
Well, what can I say
They try to mess you up
They try to push you around
They'll do anything
To bring you down
I'm not gonna be
Stuck in mediocrity
When everybody's trying to bring me
Back down to reality
Oh, why can't they see
Just how much this means to me
Maybe one day I'll be special
Save Ferris, "Everything I Want To Be"
5. What can you do?
I can go anyway, way I choose
I can live anyhow, win or lose
I can go anywhere, for something new
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose
The Who, "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere"
6. What don't you do?
Don't get mad, get even
Aerosmith "Dont Get Mad, Get Even"
7. What is love?
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
The Postal Service, "Such Great Heights"
8. What is friendship?
Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Dionne Warwick and Friends, "That's What Friends Are For"
9. Are you strong?
another ditch in the road
you keep moving
another stop sign
you keep moving on
and the years go by so fast
wonder how I ever made it through
Savage Garden, "Two Beds And A Coffee Machine"
10. What are you afraid of?
Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself
And covered with a perfect shell
Such a charming, beautiful exterior
Laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes
Perfect posture, but you're barely scraping by
But you're barely scraping by
Dashboard Confessional, "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most"
11. What would you tell the one who loves you?
someone said, someone wrote,
we're floating tethered to a rope.
so complicate me,
i could use the weight.
in how you move the scenery,
lover, how you mirror me.
but stop me if you've heard it all before.
and now and again,
you find yourself over your head.
in a cynical time, in you i find
a reason to live.
Better Than Ezra, "Everything in 2s"
12. What do you want to do?
Wait a minute can we stop the car right here
Can I take a picture here can I
Have a second just to take in all the sights
All the southern stars and northern lights
Wait a minute can we put aside the past
Can we make it something last for life
The Clarks, "Wait A Minute"
13. Where do you want to be?
And if you want to find me I'll be out in the sandbox,
wondering where the hell all the love has gone.
Playing my guitar and building castles in the sun,
and singing "Fun, Fun, Fun."
Barenaked Ladies, "Brian Wilson"
14. What do you want to say?
It's the perfect time of day
It's the last day of your life
Don't let it drift away
While your heart is still racing
It's the perfect time of day
Howie Day, "Perfect Time of Day"
15. Whom do you love?
If tomorrow never comes
I would want just one thing
I would tell it to the stars and the sun
I would write it for the world to see
And it's you
The light changes when you're in the room
Oh it's you...
Michelle Branch, "It's You"
16. How do you feel?
I want to be where I've never been before
I want to be there and then I'd understand
Know I'm right and do it right, could I get to be like that
I'll know what I don't know with nothin more to gain
Will I get better or stay the same
I find I always move too slowly
Can't lift a finger, can't change my mind
I never knew till someone told me that...
If that's all you will be, you'll be a waste of time
You've dreamed a thousand dreams, none seem to stick in your mind
Two points for honesty
It must make you sad to know that nobody cares at all...
Guster, "Two Points for Honesty"
17. What would you do if you won a million dollars?
If I had a million dollars (If I had a million dollars)
I'd buy you a monkey (haven't you always wanted a monkey?!)
Barenaked Ladies, "If I Had A Million Dollars"
18. What would you like to tell your parents?
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness my admiration
For everything you've done you know I'm bound
I'm bound to thank you for it
La la la la...
Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave
The love, the tenderness, I wanna thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity, the love
And the honesty that you gave me
I want to thank you show my gratitude
My love, and my respect for you, I want to thank you
