I’m in a long distance relationship so it would be either the “transportation” song: _You can reach me by railway… I don’t care how you get here Just get here when you can…_ or the “mountain” song: _There ain’t no mountain high enough Ain’t no valley low enough Ain’t no river wide enough To keep me from gettin’ to you…_ ---

right now, probably “Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover,” by Sophie B. Hawkins. Then there’s also “Toucha Toucha Toucha Touch Me” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, for when I’m in one of my, er, “moods.” Here I am a college virgin with absolutely no romantic experience whatsoever… but I don’t mind. ---

> [@](#): > > Nacho, I think that’s Judy Collins Geobabe already clarified, but yes, I am most definitely referring to “Both Sides, Now” as sung by the one, the only, Joni Mitchell. (If you’ve never heard her version, I recommend it. No one can make you feel a song straight through to your bones like Miss Mitchell can). The other song that comes to mind is “I Know” by Fiona Apple: “And when the crowd becomes your burden And you’ve early closed your curtain I’ll wait by the backstage door” ---

I’m apparently in the same boat as **mayberrydan** …Songs of choice (with lyric references): Blink 182 - Happy Holidays, You Bastard (Ejaculate into a sock…) Blink 182 - Story of a Lonely Guy (Girls possess me but they’re never mine…I’m always nervous on days like this, like the prom, I get too scared to move ‘cause I’m a fsckin’ boy) Green Day - Longview (When masturbation’s lost it’s fun, you’re fsckin’ lazy…) Green Day - All By Myself (You and me had such wonderfull times when I was all by myself…) Come to think of it, Blink 182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket CD is all about horny teenagers. At least more than usual… Anyone else feeling like we need an SDMB Singles Club forum?😃 ---
