"Queen of Hollywood" by The Corrs is about me...

She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's believing in a dream
Queen of Hollywood It's a loaded fantasy

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
Queen of Hollywood No she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's the Queen of Hollywood and
Her friends still talk On Corners
She's the Queen of Hollywood


I love Sarah McLachlan's "Possesion"

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide
voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
the night is my companion, and solitude my guide
would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed
trying to find an honest word to find
the truth enslaved
oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

And I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
it's morning that I dread
another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied

and I would be the one
to hold you down
kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
and after, I'd wipe away the tears
just close your eyes...

and "I Love You"

I have a smile stretched from ear to ear
To see you walking down the road
We meet at the lights, I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me on my island of hope
A breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you, a sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek

But everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And the night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so

And everytime I'm close to you
There's too much I can't say
And you just walk away

And I forgot to tell you
I love you
And the night's too long
And cold here
Without you
I grieve in my condition
For I cannot find the words to say
I need you so

and "Paper Bag" by Fiona Apple

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn’t stay, wouldn’t put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, ‘Honey, I don’t feel so good, don’t feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,’ - he said
‘It’s all in your head,’ and I said, ‘So’s everything’ -
But he didn’t get it - I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Cuz I know I’m a mess he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

I have a ton more, but this is long enough!
and I'm not counting musicals because .... there are way too many!

My favorite lyric is just one line from "I hope you Dance" by Leeann Womack

**Lovin' might be a mistake, but its worth makin'**

My favorite rush shirt when I was in school was one that had these lyrics on the back. It really fit my chapter perfectly, because you know, we were the ones where everyone could just be themselves and "get in where they fit in."

Now for my favorite song lyrics of the moment:

"I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything..."
~Evanescence- Fields of Innocence

I LOOOVE BNL.

Some current favourite lyrics from Maroon:

"I can't help anyone 'cause everyone's so cold
Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told
And even I get sick of needing to be sold
Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone
An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can't move on
I'm haunted by a story and I do my best to tell it
Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
Everybody's laughing, while at me they point a finger
A world that loves its irony must hate the protest singer"
- from Helicopters

"You can't live your life in the baby seat
You've got to stand on your own
Don't admit defeat
He came down from his retreat
She saw him later on the street
He said "You are the only one
to recognize that I'm the son"
So she bent down and kissed his feet
And that night between the sheets she told him"
- from Baby Seat

"It goes like this, we have to choice
the minarets, the wailing voice
And vaguely Celtic music fills the air
We choose a foreigner to hate,
The new Iraq gets more irate
We really know nothing about them,
and no one cares
Aladdin and the forty thieves
Enhanced by brand new special effects
Saddam and his cow disease spiced up
With some gratuitous sex
A movie's made, a war is won
A low-speed chase, a smoking gun
Distracts us while the actor takes the stand"
- from Sell Sell Sell



And my favourite - the Hidden track
"Suddenly
Things become unsound
Stumbling
On the shaky ground
Given arrows to shoot tornados down
Shoot them down
To the ground

Saw a falling leaf
Good luck - jump to grab
Much to our surprise
A butterfly
And itÂ’s sunkeness
In duration
In duration
In our lives

Inside oursleves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone

Shivering
Madly in the dark
Like an animal
Abandoned in the car park

Then she held me
And then she showed me
The beauty of
The human heart

Inside ourselves
A hidden sun
That burns and burns
Never does any harm to anyone

A hidden sun
That burns and burns
But never does any harm to anyone
Anyone
Oooh anyone
Hidden sun "

Hidden Sun

Here are the Lyrics to two songs that helped me through some tough times.

I have a problem that I cannot explain,
I have no reason why it should have been so plain,
have no questions but I sure have excuse
I have no reason why I should be so confused.

I, I know, how I feel when I'm around you
I, don't know, How I feel when I'm around you.
(Roulette, System of a Down.)


Song 2

I don't want you to give it all up
and leave your whole life collecting dust
and I don't want you to feel sorry for me
you never gave us a chance to be
I and I don't want you to be by my side
and tell me that everythings allright
I just wanted you, to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you!

so why are you running away
why are you running away.

So I did enough to show you that I
was willing to give and sacafrice
and I was the one you was lifting you up
when you thought your life had had enough
when I get close you pull away
there's nothing that I can do or say
so now I need you to tell me the truth
you know I'd do that for you!

so why are you running away?
why are you running away?

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
to make you, change your mind,

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
is it a waste time?

is it me? is it you?
nothing that, I can do
to make you, change your mind!
NO!

so why are you running away?
why are you running away
(what is it I have to say)
Why are you running away?
(to make you admit you're afraid)
Why are you running away?

(Running away by Hoobastank)
