And all the world is football shaped
It's just for me to kick its face
*****
Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
*****
'Cause there's something that I cannot do without
*****
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
*****
So take that look out of here
It doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor
Come up SCREAMING
Cry out for everything you ever might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth
Were things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with
Every single hope you had shattered
*****
I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
*****
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
*****
Sociability is hard enough for me
*****
When you're strange, no one remembers your name
*****
Two dozen other stupid reasons
Why we should suffer for this
Don't bother trying to explain them
Just hold my hand while I come
To a decision on it
*****
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
I don't know ...
*****
I don't know where I am
But I know I don't like it
*****
The pleasure – what cost
*****
And we scream like alley cats
Tearing down what we attack
To prove that we are one
*****
You're not bigger than this
Not better
Why can't you learn?
*****
There she goes...
There she goes again
*****
Don't ya work as hard as ya play?
*****
If your friends don't like it
You can tell 'em from me
To fuck off
*****
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
*****
You can have it all
But how much do you want it?
*****
We walk along, we could be famous
We walk along, we could be dreamers
*****
When I was young I knew everything
*****
Any day now it will come
*****
I just can't find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read
*****
'Cause if it's not like I told ya
Then it's still your call
You should live how you want
Stay with me
We should stay apart
Just shouldn't ever have to be this hard
*****
Some of your friends think it's really unsound
That you're even seen talking to me
*****
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

Posted by Highwaygirl on July 6, 2004 12:29 PM to the category Day In the LifeSo I recognized about three of those. Not one for song lyrics, am I.
Posted by: rappy at July 6, 2004 01:05 PMWhich ones did you recognize?
Posted by: Highwaygirl at July 6, 2004 01:15 PMNothing compares to you, Sick of myself, when you're strange, Landslide, there she goes, supersonic. Is the last one Men Without Hats?
Posted by: rappy at July 6, 2004 01:39 PM"People Are Strange" by The Doors - my theme song! And my blog title. I feel the love. ~Mensch71
Posted by: Mensch71 at July 6, 2004 02:06 PMA-ha! Who of course, sang the hit "Take on Me." One of my all-time favorite songs.
I also love that Matthew Sweet song.
Posted by: KatJam at July 6, 2004 03:56 PMIsn't the last one "In a Big Country" by the creatively named Big Country?
And I saw Matthew Sweet in concert! EEEE!
Everyone is correct! Some of them I'm sure will be a little too obscure to figure out without the use of Google (unless there's another ASH fan running around here). And that Big Country song is one of the few songs that I could listen to forever on continuous loop.
Although the "compare" lyric is not from "Nothing Compares 2 U." And the last one isn't Men Without Hats.
Posted by: Highwaygirl at July 6, 2004 04:10 PMI love Anthony Stewart Head! But I still don't know most of these lyrics. Weird.
Posted by: Teem at July 6, 2004 04:24 PMD'oh. That's a Beatles song. It was the theme to Providence, covered by Chantal Kreviazuk.
