Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh But I've been trying hard against unbelievable odds It gets so hard in times like now to hold on My guns they're waiting to be stuck by At my side is God (NOTE: not religious but this jibes with my belief there is a positive power or force - maybe that's what Big Star meant as well)
And there ain't no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round
There's people around who tell you that they know The places where they send you, and it's easy to go They'll zip you up and dress you down Stand you in a row But you know you don't have to You could just say no
And there ain't no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round
I've been built up and trusted Broke down and busted But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours Just if we can Just, ah, hold on Hold on Hold on Hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh But I've been trying hard against strong odds It gets so hard at times like now to hold on Well, I'll fall if I don't fight And at my side is God
Ain't there no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round Ain't no one goin' turn me 'round

Agreed, Kortie. BTW, thanks for putting Zevon in my head. I just put on Werewolves of London and I'm howling at the ceiling. Love that song.
What's funny is that I want to howl with every thing inside me, but too self conscious. Even when alone and nobody to bear witness, I am that self conscious.
Go guys, go!!

"Sleepwalking" has been my theme song for almost three years now. The words have been in my signature since I joined. The singer of the song has always been my avatar. I'm not getting over this obsession any time soon.

I remember you mentioning your avatar before in relation to something before. But I did not get the reference at all. Now it all makes sense.....Nice to put that one to rest LOL

I'm howling quietly because the family is in bed Woke my dogs up, though!
You are in Shock! With love, the sky comes crumbling down You are in Shock! It comes crumbling down into my heart Even if you bind this fervid heart down in chains, it’s now to no avail I’ll knock down whoever stands in my way with but a fillip of my finger
You are in Shock! With love, pulses quicken You are in Shock! With love, my pulse quickens Seeking you, this vagrant heart is now fervidly ablaze.. .. mercilessly thrusting around and melting everything
So as to safeguard our love.. .. you set out on a journey.. losing sight of tomorrow Your face, so oblivious of a smile.. is not what I desire to see.. .. bring love back!
♫
You are in Shock! With love, tear darkness into pieces You are in Shock! Tear my darkness into pieces None will ever be able to spoil the serenity between us two These consolidating bonds, shall never again come apart
So as to safeguard our love.. .. you set out on a journey.. losing sight of tomorrow Your face, so oblivious of a smile.. is not what I desire to see.. .. bring love back!

Marina and The Diamonds - Solitaire
Pretty much everything about the song gets to me. But particularly

Devo - Mongoloid Mongoloid is the old word for Down's Syndrome A lot of the lyrics in the song are relevant for autistics that can "pass". And there is Devo's spastic movements
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid One chromosome too many
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid And it determined what he could see
And he wore a hat And he had a job And he brought home the bacon So that no one knew
He was a mongoloid
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid His friends were unaware
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid Nobody even cared

Too much time on my hands as been my theme song for years. I don't feel like I have a lot of time, but it looks like it to other people because the things I do are things they don't have time to do (video games, knitting, baking, working with my dogs, etc...)

Yeah, here I am sitting on this bar stool, Talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues And I've given up hope for the afternoon soaps And a bottle of cold brew Is it any wonder I'm not crazy Is it any wonder I'm sane at all
Well I'm so tired of losing I've got nothing to do and all day to do it Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place To go and all night to get there Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal Is it any wonder I'm not in jail
Is it any wonder I've got too much time on my hands It's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands It's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
(Too much time on my hands) It's tick tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) And I don't know what to do with myself (Too much time on my hands)
(Too much time on my hands) (Too much time on my hands) (Too much time on my hands)
Now I'm a jet fuel genius I can solve the world's problems Without even trying I've got dozens of friends, and the fun never ends That is as long as I'm buying Is it any wonder I'm not the President Is it any wonder I'm null and void
Is it any wonder I've got too much Time on my hands It's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands It's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands And it's ticking away, ticking away from me
(Too much time on my hands) Ticky tick tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) And I don't know what to do with myself (Too much time on my hands) Umm mmm (Too much time on my hands) Tick tick tick ticking away (Too much time on my hands) Umm mmm (Too much time on my hands) Too much time on my hands Too much time on my
For a while I'd listen to Hold On every night before I went to bed when I was in school.
Quote:
I know this pain Why do lock yourself up in these chains? No one can change your life except for you Don't ever let anyone step all over you Just open your heart and your mind Is it really fair to feel this way inside?
[Chorus:] Some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know? Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can you hold on for one more day Things'll go your way Hold on for one more day
You could sustain Or are you comfortable with the pain? You've got no one to blame for your unhappiness You got yourself into your own mess Lettin' your worries pass you by Don't you think it's worth your time To change your mind?
[Chorus]
I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day and Break free the chains Yeah I know that there is pain But you hold on for one more day and you Break free, break from the chains
Some day somebody's gonna make you want to Turn around and say goodbye Until then baby are you going to let them Hold you down and make you cry Don't you know? Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day yeah If you hold on
Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day, If you hold on Can you hold on Hold on baby Won't you tell me now Hold on for one more day 'Cause It's gonna go your way
Don't you know things can change Things'll go your way If you hold on for one more day Can't you change it this time
Make up your mind Hold on Hold on Baby hold on
Then of course there's Magic Power, which just makes me feel good.
Quote:
Something's at the edge of your mind You don't know what it is Something you were hoping to find But you're not sure what it is Then you hear the music And it all comes crystal clear The music does the talking Says the things you want to hear
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free Got the magic power of the music in me I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free Got the magic power of the music in me
She climbs into bed She pulls the covers overhead And she turns her little radio on She's had a rotten day So she hopes the DJ's Gonna play her favorite song
Makes her feel much better Brings her closer to her dreams A little magic power Makes it better that it seems
She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free She gets the magic power of the music from me She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free She gets the magic power of the music from me
You're thinking it over But you just can't sort it out Do you want someone to tell you What they think it's all about Are you the one and only Who's sad and lonely You're reaching for the top Well, the music keeps you going And it's never gonna stop It's never gonna stop It's never gonna, never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop
The world is full of compromise And infinite red tape But the music's got the magic It's your one chance for escape Turn me on, turn me up It's your turn to dream A little magic power Makes it better than it seems
I'm young now, I'm wild now, I want to be free Got the magic power of the music in me I'm young now, I'm wild and I'm free Got the magic power of the music I got the music in me
I got the power I got the magic She's got the power She's got the magic She's got the power She's got the magic She's got the power She's got the magic
