"Another day has almost come and gone
Can’t imagine what else could wrong
Sometimes I’d like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war

'Cause tomorrow’s another day
And I’m thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

It’s almost like the hard times circle ‘round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I’m not dead

Tomorrow’s another day
And I’m thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

I’m not gonna let it get me down
I’m not gonna cry
And I’m not gonna lose any sleep tonight

'Cause tomorrow's another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain"

--Jo Dee Messina "Bring on the Rain"


"F*ck it, fight it, it's all the same" --Sublime

"So get in where you fit in
Go on and shine
Free your mind
Now's the time to put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cause everything is gonna be all right"
--India Arie "Video"
(We had this quote on our Fall 2001 Bid Day shirts )

I'd think of more, but I have to go to class!

Time: by Pink Floyd (excerpts)

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Subdivisions: by Rush (excerpts)

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions ‹
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions ‹
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Hello Goodbye: The Beatles (excerpt)

You say yes I say no You say stop
and I say go go go
Oh no You say goodbye and I say hello
hello hello I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello
hello hello I don't know why you say goodbye I say hello

Draggin' the line: Tommy James an the Shondells

Makin' a livin' the old hard way
Takin' and givin' by day by day
I dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine
Draggin' The Line

These aren't all my favs, just a few :-)

So I wished that I could stay
But before the thing could answer me
Someone came and took the lamp away
I looked
Around
A lousy candle's all I found

We can find
Why don't you come with me little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don't know what
We can see
Why don't you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free"
--Steppenwolf

xok85xo, I share your love of BNL! I think they are the best band ever! I've seen them in concert 5 times and they always come up with something new. Here are a few of my favorite BNL lyrics:

"What did you think I was going to do, curl up and die just because of you?
I'm not that weak, you know.
What did you think I was going to do, try to make you love as much as I love you?
How could you be so low?
You arrogant man, what do you think that I am?
My heart will be fine, just stop wasting my time!"
-Break Your Heart

"I think it's getting to the point where I can be myself again
I think it's getting to the point where we have almost made amends
I think it's the getting to the point that is the hardest part"
-Call and Answer

"I'm not trying to sing a love song--I'm trying to sing in tune
I know I am sometimes headstrong
Falling in love, catching fire---I want to be consumed
Wondering will I ever tire, will I ever tire?"
-These Apples

"I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out"
-Falling for the First Time

"A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool"
-A

I could go on forever...they are the absolute best!

Pearl Jam's Immortality. Many say that it was written about Kurt Cobain's death but I think that some of the lyrics can pertain to anyone's life:
Vacate is the word
Vengence has no place he swears to her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tears, vessel stabbed "Next up volunteers"...
Vulnerable, wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home, and a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the sun
Immortality
As priveledged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than how. How?
Surrendered, executed anyhow.
Scrawl dissolved, cigar box on the floor.
A truant finds home, and a wish a to hold on to
He saw a trap door in the sun
Immortality
Cannot stop the thought running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh, stripped and sold mom
Auctioned forearm
And whiskers in the sink
Truants move on, cannot stay long
Some die just to live....

Then, Pearl Jam's Betterman which I think many girls out there can relate to.
Waiting....watching the clock it's 4 o'clock
It's got to stop
Tell him. Take no more.
She practices her speech as he opens the door.
She rolls over, pretends to sleep as he looks her over.
She lies and says she's in love with him.
Can't find a betterman.
She dreams in color, she dreams in red.
Can't find a betterman....
Talking to herself, "there's no one else so he's the one"
She tells herself
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew it now she swears he's gone
She's lies and says she's in love with him
Can't find a betterman
She dreams in color, she dreams in red
Can't find a betterman....
She loved him, she don't want to leave this way
She feeds him, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a betterman....

Just a funny note on this song. I was at work once and this song was playing on the radio. Eddie Vedder sings "she lies and says she's in love with him" and this guy I'm working with says "Bitch!" It was out of nowhere but still strangely appropriate.

Wonderful Tonight
by Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

I love this song!

[TrojanGirl]

"You kick my foot under the table,
I kick you back, can't say I'm able
To stand for you, or fall for you
Ever again.
Wish for a perfect setting?
Wishing that I'm letting you
Take me where you want me
All over again
You can't give yourself
Absolutely to someone else."
- Do You Sleep? - Lisa Loeb


"Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head
You feel left out or
Looked down on
Just try your best
Try everything you can
And don't you worry
What they tell themselves
When you're away"
- The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
