I was aware that it was the Who that wrote it even before the Limp Bizkit version came out. I like both versions equally and I only have the Limp Bizkit version, so that's the name I used.

I'm older in my head
My innocence is gone
I have that book you read
To help me carry on
Wha-aaat a price to pay
to feel like you're alive
I was blind
When he said....

oooo-ooh, its all the same, no matter where you are....


- All the Same, Queens of the Stone Age

"Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

This song represents exactly how I feel about my life at home. I always play it when I browse Rent.com, an apartment site. My regards to Kelly Clarkson for describing my situation so perfectly. I constantly feel like I need to break away before I break down completely.

Both convey similar feelings of alienation and depression; I like both of them, though.

Five Iron Frenzy \ Wizard Needs Food, Badly

I know that you're probably mad at me.
I've come to expect that.
You know that you'll never have all of me,
you've come to resent that.
You say "tomato", I say "video games",
you're acting so solemn.
You'll take the precious remote control from me.
Do I sound like Gollum?
(It's) not that I'm escaping,
you charm me like the flame does moths,
it's just that you'd prefer me docile,
like a narcoleptic sloth.

The wizard needs food badly,
the Voltron can't be incomplete.
The things I love, you hate so madly,
I must not go down in defeat.

In the hunter-gatherer societies,
I'd bring home the bacon.
Public thought says men should try and be tame,
stirred but not shaken.
I say "baseball" then you start to cry,
I'm sorry I grieve you.
I think a motorcycle's a good way to die,
this must bereave you.
I know that you try so hard,
and I'm not saying it's a sin,
it's just that they don't feel my pain,
in Vogue or Cosmopolitan.

And I'm sure you have your reasons,
but listen to me please...
I want the G.I. Joe with the Kung-Fu action grip.
I want Nintendo with the extra-graphics-microchip.
Tackle football with rocks,
and sticks, and knives, and pain...
I want a truck with the four wheel drive train.
You'd rather see me get good at bookkeepping,
I could clean house in the time that I'm not sleeping.
I live to serve you, and I don't want to be rude,
but you should see that the wizard needs food.


I also love Kelly Clarkson-Breakaway, Aspie1!! My favorite Kelly Clarkson song, however, is You Found Me

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

I haven't heard anything from Five Iron Frenzy in years. I'll have to check that out.

FIF Broke up recently That song is from their most recent album "The End is Near" I got it in a set with a recording of their final concert "The End Is Here" I highly reccomend it, some really good songs on there! They're all with new bands....Reese's new band is called "Roper" Great to have another FIF fan here!!

I'll have to go check out that CD once I get a shotgun.

I just watched the movie of Phantom of the Opera, and I just *adore* this scene/song *sigh*

Phantom Of The Opera - All I Ask of You Lyrics

RAOUL
No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
RAOUL
Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .
CHRISTINE
All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .
RAOUL
Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Iet me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
BOTH
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .
CHRISTINE
Say you love me . . .
RAOUL
You know I do . . .
BOTH
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
(They kiss)
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .
(CHRISTINE starts from her reverie)
CHRISTINE
I must go -
they'll wonder where I am . . .
wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE;
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from
behind the statue)

You think that you can take me on,
you must be crazy,

Cause there's nothin that you can do,
will ever phase me,

But if you want to have a go,
I just want to let you know,

(Refrain)
Yeah!
Get offa my back!
and into my game,
Get outa my face,
like you think you know the game,
Get out of my way!
Take your best shot!
I think it's time you better face the facts,
Get offa my back!

(Here follows a bit that i can't remember)

(Refrain)

Get offa my back!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off!

Get off!

Get offa my back!

I just realized that i achieved veteran status four posts earlier. Now i have 495 posts to go before i become elite. Yay!

I love the movie Spirit, Archmange!! It's one of my favorites. Here are the rest of the lyrics to "Get off my Back" (BTW, on the lyrics site they always spell faze p-h-a-s-e...grrr....pet peeve of mine)

Well you think that you can take me on
You must be crazy
There ain't a single thing you've done
That's gonna faze me
Oh but if you want to have a go
I just want to let you know

Get off of my back and into my game
Get out of my way and out of my brain
Get outta my face or give it your best shot
I think it's time you better face the fact
Get off my back

You know it's all just a game that I'm playing
Don't think that you can find a way in
That's what I'm saying
Oh if you want to have a go
I just want to let you know...

Thanks for that! I didn't know all the lyrics, so i guess i just had to invent a few.

This song from "Phantom of the Opera", causes me to have a huge emotional/physical reaction (when listening to the movie soundtrack)

DON JUAN (PHANTOM)
You have come here
in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of
that wish,
which till now
has been silent,
silent . . .
I have brought you,
that our passions
may fuse and merge -
in your mind
you've already
succumbed to me
dropped all defences
completely succumbed to me -
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts,
you've decided,
decided . . .
Past the point
of no return -
no backward glances:
the games we've played
till now are at
an end . . .
Past all thought
of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought,
and let the dream
descend . . .
What raging fire
shall flood the soul?
What rich desire
unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction
lies before
us . . .?
Past the point
of no return,
the final threshold -
what warm,
unspoken secrets
will we learn?
Beyond the point
of no return . . .
AMINTA (CHRISTINE)
You have brought me
to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .
I have come here,
hardly knowing
the reason why . . .
In my mind,
I've already
imagined our
bodies entwining
defenceless and silent -
and now I am
here with you:
no second thoughts,
I've decided,
decided . . .
Past the point
of no return -
no going back now:
our passion-play
has now, at last,
begun . . .
Past all thought
of right or wrong -
one final question:
how long should we
two wait, before
we're one . . .?
When will the blood
begin to race
the sleeping bud
burst into bloom?
When will the flames,
at last, consume
us . . .?
BOTH
Past the point
of no return
the final threshold -
the bridge
is crossed, so stand
and watch it burn . . .
We've passed the point
of no return . . .
PHANTOM
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Lead me, save me
from my solitude . . .
(He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
Slowly she takes it and puts it on her finger.)
Say you want me
with you,
here beside you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too -
Christine
that's all I ask of you

"For You Will Burn Your Wings Upon the Sun", by Black Tape for a Blue Girl

I demand you return all the love I gave to you
how can I ever trust again?
this poison forbids my new hopes
how can I take love and find purity?
I loved you so desperately - I believed your every words
yet I've watched you emerge from other's beds.
for you have taken my heart and fed it to snakes
this girl who sleeps in the garden of shards.
I cough this blackened breath - a shallow man
wearing my own hopes as your disguise.
for you will burn your wings upon the sun, my love
you deserve nothing from me anymore.

"Still it Takes Me by Surprise", by Tony Banks

It can be strange
In the world we live in
So many things are not how they appear
We sit and talk
Of what it doesn't matter
The meaning of the words we use
hides behind the sound

Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can't control
How simple words and gestures
make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say

It's hard to believe
That once we met as strangers
Not knowing of the life that we would share
You lead me on
Through new ways unfamiliar
Or down a road we travelled many times before

Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can't control
How simple words and gestures
make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say

The years go by
Older yet no wiser
Our hearts and minds remain as they once were
And after all the time
That we have been together
So many times we must have been this way before

Yet still it takes me by surprise
How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind
With thoughts which even now I can't control
How simple words and gestures
Make the world seem right
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
