GC Song Dedications

[LuaBlanca]

this one's for DOCET who has decided to hate me, and i'm sad...
GC Chat on AIM people know what I'm talking about




A Thousand Miles
Vanessa Carlton

Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.

And I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.

It's always times like these
When I think of you,
And wonder if you ever think of me.
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Livin' in your precious memory.

'Cause I need you,
And I miss you,
And now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
Tonight.

I, I, don't wanna let you know
I, I, drown in your memory.
I, I, don't wanna let this go.
I, I, don't.

Makin' my way downtown,
Walkin' fast,
Faces pass and I'm homebound.
Starin' blankly ahead,
Just makin' my way,
Makin' a way through the crowd.

And I still need you,
And I still miss you,
And now I wonder...

If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time
Would pass.. us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...


If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you.
If I could just hold you....
Tonight.

To everybody who thinks that they are just the image of antebellum womanhood and don't have a single member of their sorority who has ever been drrrry.

(this song was written about sorority girls at a certain school that's not in the same region as Wisconsin)

Palo Alto, "Naked Sorority Girls"

There was this girl, I loved her so.
She was a Kappa Beta Theta Phi Sigma Roe.
I took her to Beale Street on a Saturday Night,
I found the Southern Comfort seemed to do it just right.

Then I took her on a carraige ride,
And it started to rain so we went inside.
I was hanging out with the Peabody Ducks,
Then she pulled out her room key and said Let's MAKE FRENCH TOAST

Naked Sorority Girls,
Those kinda women just rock my world.
They power walk all day and drink all night,
You know Daddy's Little Girl will always treat you right.
Naked Sorority Girls,
They're more fun to ride than a Tilt a' Whirl.
I don't know if this is how love should be,
But when it comes to love its all Greek to me.

Seen her walkin' down the road with a bow on her head,
"Hey baby what's your FRENCH TOAST major?" "Elementary Ed."
"I don't need a degree, I'm trying to find a man."
Well who needs an education when you've got a tan?
She orders fat free food to keep her body hard.
She's running up the bill on Daddy's credit card.
Getting the oil changed on the BMW's my baby's biggest fear,
She's been through five years of school,
She's not once bought her own beer.

She wears the sleevless shirts with the hiking boots,
She's got the bleach blonde hair with the jet black roots.
I see her all day but she's never in class,
She's got a bottle of Ni and got her shake in her APPLESAUCE

Naked Sorority Girls,
Those kinda women just rock my world.
They power walk all day and drink all night,
You know Daddy's Little Girl will always treat you right.
Naked Sorority Girls,
They're more fun to ride than a Tilt a' Whirl.
I don't know if this is how love should be,
But when it comes to love its all Greek to me.

Tried to get her to come to a late night, but she won't go.
A couple of her sorority sisters said "Well, Jim you know
She's not that kind of girl, she doesn't sleep around."
But it ain't immoral if its oral baby go on down.
And one took me for a ride in her Mercedes Benz,
When up from the back popped a couple of friends.
We took a quick drive to Sardis Lake,
And in about a half an hour they all three got naked.

Had...
Three Naked Sorority Girls,
Those kinda women just rock my world.
Lady keep on power walking all day,
You keep on drinkin all night.
Because you and your two sisters were sure out of sight.
Naked Sorority Girls,
They make my eyes roll back, they make my big toes curl.
I don't know if this is how love should be,
But when it comes to love its all Greek... to me.

Someone on here loves Cory Morrow!!!

[FHwku]

YEAH, JOHNNY CASH HELPED ME GET OUT OF PRISON

AND I CAN DO YOU EVERY SONG

AND I STILL DO ALL THE SAD ONES THAT I KNOW
I CAN'T HELP IT, I LOOK LIKE MERLE HAGGARD
AND I SOUND A LOT LIKE DAVID ALLAN COE

"Longhaired Redneck"



*Coe brought his earrings and his hair to Western this past semester and played at the Deuce.

Ahh! You are beyond bad @$$!! I LOVE this song!! It's one of my fav's by Cory!

Here are the lyrics, just for you.



"I Don't Like To Drink Alone"
by Cory Morrow


I woke up with some Wild Turkey starin at me
I poured a couple fingers into my cup of coffee
I got up and I tried to recall the whole night
Why do I drink so much? Why do I smoke on that pipe?

Well, nobody said I've got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted too many hours in far too many bars
I don't like to drink alone at all

Next thing I know, the phone is ringin off the wall
I stumbled through the beer, and the cigarettes, and women and all
It's just my wife she says I've had it now and I'm takin the kids
Well, I downed another chug-a-lug and I blow her a whiskey kiss

Nobody said I've got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted many an hour in far too many bars
I don't like to drink alone at all

They told me everything would be fine,
but they lied
I knew that drinkin alone was not right,
wasting my mind

On the bus again, crossin all the state borders
I'm on my way to another late night recording
Got all my friends on board, and some in cars on the side
'Cause you know I'll need some help drinkin my way through the night

Nobody said I've got to act like a Hollywood star
I wasted too many hours in far too many bars
I don't like to drink alone at all

For Kath, of course, commemorating our undying hate for Chris Carrabba and the day he broke my computer and I got caught by the RIAA for downloading this song twelve times even though I HATE IT and now, by association, you


"Hands Down"
Dashboard Confessional
sort of

Breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might gilby.
So won't you gilby, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fillibuster,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed, let's not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"Hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear . . .
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might gilby.
So won't you gilby, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fillibuster,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you mount it.
And I knew that you mount it,
that you mount it,
that you mount it,
and I knew,
that you mount it,
that you mount it.

"Falling for You" by Weezer

Holy cow! I think I've got one here
Now just what am I supposed to do?
I've got a number of irrational fears
That I'd like to share with you
First, there's rules about old goats like me
Hanging around with chicks like you
But I do like you and another one:

You say 'like' too much
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
And I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you

Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it?
Just as I was busting loose
I gotta go turn in my rock star card
And get fat and old with you
'Cause I'm a burning a candle you're a gentle moth
Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder
And I do like you - you're the lucky one
No, I'm the lucky one

You say like too much
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
And I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you

Holy sweet goddamn! You left your cello in the basement
I admired the glowing stars
And tried to play a tune
I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true
What could you possibly see in little ol' 3 chord me?
But it's true - you like me, I like you too
I'm ready, let's do it baby

You say like too much
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
And I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you

[tunatartare]

Caryn, this one's for you:
Everybody Hurts by REM
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
when you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
if you feel like letting go, (hold on)
when you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

"Falling for You" by Weezer

You will not believe this, but back when I was just barely sweet 16 (literally -- I met him two days after my sixteenth birthday) I had a crush on the 20-year-old (maybe 21? either way sketchy) lead singer of a local band who used to dedicate songs for me at their shows to try to get me to sleep with him. It never worked but I was so Madly In Love with him in that teenage way and I used to put many many CD tracks on repeat because they reminded me of him, of which "Falling for You" was one. Along with "Alternative, Baby" by Reel Big Fish and many others which I have forgotten. Actually, I got Pinkerton for my sixteenth birthday and thus nearly every song on that CD reminds me of some bizarre crush or screwed up relationship I had when I was sixteen.

That just brought back gut-wrenching adolescent memories in WAVES. Thanks, bitch.

So this one is in memory of Jimmy, even though he will never ever end up on GC for any reason.

P.S. And he went to Marquette too! -- at least until he dropped out two classes short of a double major in English and philosophy.

"Alternative, Baby"
Reel Big Fish

Well, I see you up on stage and
I don't know just what you're sayin'
but you're my hero, whoa
and a guy just kicked me in the head
a little girl just passed out dead
I'm in between a big jock
and a sweaty skinhead but I love you
whatever that means

But I don't wanna talk to you,
'cause I know I'd just say something stupid
and I know you've got better things to do.

Hey, little alternative girl
don't you wanna be my friend?
you know I'm singin' all my songs to you
it's all right if you don't understand

maybe I shouldn't be so serious,
tellin' you that everything sucks
'cause I don't wanna bring you down
but it never ever works out right
I'm gonna lose, give up the fight
I won't get what I want,
won't get anything but I love you
whatever that means

And they don't wanna talk to me
'cause they know what I'll turn out to be
I said I was cool
but I can't lie to you (but I do)

Hey, little alternative girl
don't you wanna be my friend?
you know I'm singin' all my songs to you
and it's all right if you don't understand

And I don't wanna start again
'cause I know it'll be the same in the end
I didn't like it the first time anyway

Hey, little alternative girl
don't you wanna be my friend?
you know I'm singin' all my songs to you
and it's all right if you don't understand

[James]

For 33 girl . . .


Paradise by the Dashboard Lights

by

Meatloaf

I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night


And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!


Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light


Girl:
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed


Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed


Boy:
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed


Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun


And I gotta let ya know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make your motor run


And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold on tight!
C'mon! Hold on tight!


Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light


You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely--


We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go allt he way
An tonight's the night...


Radio Broadcast:
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker
going here, two down, nobody on, no score,
bottom of the ninth, there's the wind-up and
there it is, a line shot up the middle, look
at him go. This boy can really fly!
He's rounding first and really turning it on
now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna
try for second; the ball is bobbled out in center,
and here comes the throw, and what a throw!
He's gonna slide in head first, here he comes, he's out!
No, wait, safe--safe at second base, this kid really
makes things happen out there.
Batter steps up to the plate, here's the pitch--
he's going, and what a jump he's got, he's trying
for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt--
safe at third! Holy cow, stolen base!
He's taking a pretty big lead out there, almost
daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
glance over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted
down the third base line, the suicide squeeze in on!
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close,
here's the throw, there's the play at the plate,
holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!


II. Let Me Sleep On It


Girl:
Stop right there!
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further--!


Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Do you love me!?
Will you love me forever!?
Do you need me!?
Will you never leave me!?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life!?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me!!!?
Will you love me forever!!!?


Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning


Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning


Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning


Girl:
I gotta know right now!
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
I gotta know right now!
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
And will you love me forever?


Boy:
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you my answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it!!!


Girl:
Will you love me forever?

Boy:
Let me sleep on it!!!

Girl:
Will you love me forever!!!


III. Praying for the End of Time


Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!


So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!


Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today


Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

[GPhiBLtColonel]

There's someone on GC I want to dedicate this song to...

Something To Talk About
( Bonnie Raitt )

People are talkin, talking 'bout people.
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers, kept under covers.
I just ignore it, but they keep saying,
We laugh just a little too loud.
We stand just a little too close.
We stare just a little too long...
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, Darlin'

Let's give them something to talk about!
Let's give them something to talk about!
Let's give them something to talk about!
How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed.
You'd act so nervous, could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced I'm going under.
Thinking 'bout you every day.
Dreaming 'bout you every night.
Hoping that you feel the same way.
Now that we know it, let's really show it, Darlin'

Let's give them something to talk about!
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give them something to talk about!
How about love, love, love, love?

Let's give them something to talk about, baby!
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give them something to talk about!
How about love, love, love, love?

Let's give them something to talk about!
Let's give them something to talk about!
Let's give them something to talk about!
How about love, love, love, love?


(okay, it's late & my rapidly aging mind is wandering)
