Since everyone seems to enjoying the movie quotes randomly, now you can post snippits of song lyrics.

Title and artist listing are optional on a completely random basis.  
**DO NOT POST COMPLETE SONGS!** - there’s even a sticky or two about that, but it needs repeating just in case, right?

I’ll start:

\*take the time to get to know me  
if you want me why can’t you just show me  
we’re always on this roller coaster  
if you want me why can’t you get closer?

* * *

## Must be something in the water they drink It’s been the same with every girl I’ve had Must be something in the water they drink 'Cuz why else would a woman wanna treat a man so bad?\*

Since no one has called me out in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=250465) yet, I’ll post here. 🙂

\*I was driving on the freeway in the fast lane  
With a rabid wolverine in my underwear  
When suddenly a guy behind me in the back seat  
Popped right up and cupped his hands across my eyes

I guessed, “Is it Uncle Frank or Cousin Louie?”  
“Is it Bob or Joe or Walter?”  
“Could it be Bill or Jim or Ed or Bernie or Steve?”  
I probably would have kept on guessing  
But about that time we crashed into the truck\*

_I’ve waited too long to have you hide in the back of me,  
I’ve cheated so long I wonder how you keep track of me.  
You can never be strong, you can only be free,  
and I’ve never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me._

Smells like Teen Spirit, Nirvana

## With the lights out it?s less dangerous Here we are now Entertain us I feel stupid and contagious Here we are now Entertain us A mulatto An albino A mosquito My libido Yea

Pinball Wizard, The Who

He ain’t got no distractions  
Can’t hear those buzzers and bells  
Don’t see lights a flashin’  
Plays by sense of smell  
Always gets a replay  
Never tilts at all  
That deaf, dumb and blind kid  
Sure plays a mean pinball

Until blood soaks my shirt

And the men who spurred us on  
sit in judgement of all wrong  
they decide  
and the shotgun sings the song

* * *

I was drowning in my sorrows  
when my sorrows learned to swim

* * *

To anyone who’s listenin’  
You’re not born into sin  
The guilt they try and give you  
Puke it in the nearest bin

Missionary maddness  
Sweep up culture with a broom  
Trashing ancient ways  
Is par for the course  
It’s fucking rude

* * *

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,  
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?  
Canyonero!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams  
She’s a squirrel-squashin’, deer-smackin’ drivin’ machine  
Canyonero!

* * *

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,  
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lawd,  
And when you ask them, “How much should we give?”  
Ooh, they only answer’s More! more! more! more!

* * *

Disillusioned words like bullets bark  
As human gods aim for their mark  
Made everything from toy guns that spark  
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark  
It’s easy to see without looking too far  
That not much  
Is really sacred.

…

While one who sings with his tongue on fire  
Gargles in the rat race choir  
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers  
Cares not to come up any higher  
But rather get you down in the hole  
That he’s in.

* * *

Turn off your mind, relax  
and float down stream

* * *

Now if a 6  
turned out to be 9  
I don’t mind  
I don’t mind  
😃

moon hangs around  
a blade over my head  
reminds me  
what to do before I’m dead  
night consumes light  
and all I dread  
reminds me what to do before I’m dead

sun reclines, eats my mind  
reminds me what to leave behind  
light eats night and all I never said  
reminds me what to do before I’m…

the sun reclines…remind me  
the desert skies…remind me  
the ocean wide salted red  
reminds me what to do before I’m…

* * *

Drowning deep in my sea of loathing  
Broken your servant I kneel  
It seems what’s left of my human side  
Is slowly changing in me

## Looking at my own reflection When suddenly it changes Violently it changes (oh no) There is no turning back now You’ve woken up the demon in me

## If I could tell the world just one thing It would be that we’re all OK and not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like these I won’t be made useless I won’t be idle with despair I will gather myself around my faith For light does the darkness most fear

## Bang! Bang! Knock on the door, another big bang, you’re down on the floor. Oh No! What do we do? Don’t look now but I lost my shoe. I can’t run and I can’t kick. What’s a matter babe, are you feelin’ sick? What’s a matter, what’s a matter, what’s a matter you? What’s a matter babe, are you feelin’ blue? Oh-oh-oh!

how’s that for random?

The song is by Eve6, I believe, but I can’t remember the name:

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet  
chalk white and oh, so frail  
my stomach turns and I exhale…

That reminds me…

Betty is in a wet t-shirt  
feeling foolish and vain  
lookin’ like some housecat  
that got caught out in the rain

Lookin’ in the mirror  
at this less than pretty picture  
feelin’ ten years older now  
and 50 bucks richer

Life is hard…

## I’ve got a feeling A feeling deep inside Oh yeah Oh yeah I’ve got a feeling A feeling I can’t hide Oh yeah Oh yeah

## There’s blood in the streets It’s up to my ankles Blood in the streets It’s up to my knee Blood in the streets In the town of Chicago Blood on the rise and following me

The band is just fantastic  
That is really what I think  
And by the way  
Which one’s Pink?

## Does he ask you to tell him about the other loves you’ve had? And when you try to change the subject does it make him mad? Does he say he’s only being curious And regardless it won’t make him furious? Some things are better left unsaid Take it from me Some things are better left unsaid.

I bet your eyes aren’t really that blue  
I think they’ve been airbrushed in by an artist who doesn’t care  
And I bet your hair isn’t really that blonde  
But isn’t it the way we wanted it to be  
And I bet you don’t usually smile that much  
Especially with someone like me  
And I bet you really sweat  
But none of this is what I want to say to you.

Special…you think you’re special, you do  
I can see it in your eyes  
I can see it when you laugh at me, look down on me and you walk around on me  
Just one more fight about your leadership  
And I will straight up leave your shi\*  
Cuz I’ve had enough of this, and now I’m pissed

This time I’m a let it all come out  
This time I’m a stand up and shout  
I’m a do things my way, its my way, my way or the highway

Tight skirt, strawberry hair  
Tell me what you’ve got, baby, waiting under there  
Big green eyes that look like, son  
They can see every cheap thing that you ever done

* * *

Solitude stands in the doorway  
And I’m struck once again by her black silhouette  
By her long cool stare and her silence  
I suddenly remember each time we’ve met

* * *

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight  
I can’t wait till the morning has come  
And I know now the time is just right  
And straight into my arms you will run  
And when you come my heart will be waiting  
To make sure that you’re never alone  
There and then all my dreams will come true dear  
There and then I will make you my own  
And every time I touch you  
You just tremble inside  
And I know how much you want me  
That, you can’t hide …
