Itty's Favorite Song Lyrics
The vast majority of the songs I listen to, I do so because of the
lyrics, not the music itself. Some because they're funny, some
because I can sympathize, some because they invoke memories (good and
bad). Listed below are a selection of my favorite quotes from the
songs I listen to on a regular basis. While some of these certainly do
represent a mood or way of thinking I often have, and others
definately have a very special significance to me, many refer only to
thoughts and moods I've had at one time in my past. I'll also try to
give a small explanation for a few of the songs. Oh, and these are
in no particular order.
Been around the world and found that only stupid
people are breeding.
Flagpole Sitta, Harvey Danger
Everyone's your friend in New York City. And
everything looks beautiful when you're young and pretty. The streets
are paved with diamonds and there's just so much to see. But the best
thing about New York City is you and me.
New York City, They
Might Be Giants
And I'd give up forever to touch you, 'cuz I know
that you'd feel me somehow. You're the closest to Heaven that I'll
ever be, and I don't wanna go home right now. And all I can taste is
this moment. And all I can breathe is your life. Sooner or later
it's over. I just don't wanna miss you tonight. And I don't want the
world to see me, 'cuz I don't think that they'd understand. When
everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I
am.
Iris, Goo Goo
Dolls
I could stay awake, just to hear you breathing,
watch you smile while you are sleeping, while you're far away and
dreaming. I could spend my life in this sweet surrender. I could stay
lost in this moment forever. Where every moment spent with you is a
moment I treasure. Don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall
asleep 'cuz I'd miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing. 'Cuz
even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do. I'd still
miss you baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing.
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing,
Aerosmith
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of
my life. Oh, just to be with you has given me the best day of my
life.
Thank You, Dido
You become somebody else 'round everyone else.
You're watching your back like you can't relax. You're trying to be cool,
you look like a fool to me. Tell me why you gotta make things so
complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else
gets me frustrated.
Complicated, Avril
Lavigne
I just found out there's no such thing as The Real
World. Just a lie you've got to rise above.
No Such Thing, John
Mayer
Her boyfriend, he don't know anything about her.
He's too stoned, Nintendo. I wish that I could make her see she's
just the flavor of the week.
Flavor of the Week,
American Hi-Fi
