Clever Girl... >> Music >> Soundtrack to my life I'm actually mildly proud of this, in that my attempt to create a round-robin survey that actually provides some insight into the person who sent it to you, has circulated, well... at least part of the world.  Yep, since I started this survey, I've seen people going to message boards and copying it, and yes, I thought "Wow! I made that up!" ;) Anyway, the rule is that you get to pick out 12 songs that sum up your life, you feelings, and your attitudes, and consequently give people an insight into the way you think. Here's mine. 1. Creep - Radiohead When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fucking special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fucking special I wish I was special Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want I was I was special You're so fucking special 2. Did It Again - Kylie Minogue Clever girl... think you are but you think too much Shut down turn around don't look that way anymore Clever girl... think you know but you don't know much Try to make a move go to a different door You know it's all in your head You'd better put that business to bed By the fair hands of design you met with the monster in your mind You did it again You did it again Won't you listen to me when I'm telling you It's no good for you Clever girl... think you're right but what's right from wrong? Little Miss Genius (ha!) you make it hard on yourself Clever girl... you've got it all but you're all messed up Time now turn around move onto something else You know it's all in your head You'd better put that business to bed What you see nobody sees it only brings you to your knees 3. One - Alanis Morissette I am the biggest hypocrite I've been undeniably jealous I have been loud and pretentious I have been utterly threatened I've gotten candy for my self-interest The sexy treadmill capitalist Heaven forbid I be criticised Heaven forbid I be ignored I've been out of reach and separatist Heaven forbid average (whatever average means) I have compensated for my Days of powerlessness Did you just call her amazing? Sure we both can't be amazing And give up my hard earned status As fabulous freak of nature 4. Reasons To Be Beautiful - Hole Love hangs herself with the bedsheets in her cell Threw myself on fires for you 10 good reasons to stay alive 10 good reasons that I can't find Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful So sick in his body so sick in his soul Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful Oh, and everything I am Love hates you I live my life in ruins for you And for all your secrets kept I squashed the blossom And the blossom's dead Oh give me a reason to be beautiful So sick in his body so sick in his soul Oh and I will make myself so beautiful Oh and everything I am Miles and miles of perfect skin I swear I do, I fit right in My love burns through everything I cannot breathe Miles and miles of perfect sin I swear, I said I fit right in I fight right in your perfect skin I cannot breathe Hey baby take it all the way down Hey baby taste me anyway Oh you were born so pretty Your summer babe will never die It faded like a rose And they say in the end You'll get bitter just like them And they steal your heart away When the fire goes out you'd better learn to fake It's better to rise than fade away 5. Fix Me Now - Garbage Bury me above the clouds All the way from here Take away the things I need, take away my fear Hide me in a hollow sound, happy ever more Everything I had to give, given long before Fix me now, I wish you would Bring me back to life, oh fix me now Kiss me blind somebody should From hollow into light 6. Malibu - Hole Crash and burn all the stars explode tonight How'd you get so desperate?  How'd you stay alive? Help me please, burn the sorrow from your eyes Oh come on, be alive again Don't lay down and die Hey hey, you know what to do Oh baby drive away to Malibu Get well soon, please don't go any higher How are you so burnt when you're barely on fire? Cry to the angels I'm gonna rescue you, I'm gonna set you free tonight baby Fall over me Hey hey, we're all watching you Oh baby drive away to Malibu Oceans of angels, oceans of stars Down by the sea is where you drown your scars 7. Turn Off The Lights - Nelly Furtado It's getting so lonely inside this bed Don't know if I should lick my wounds or say 'woe is me' instead There's an aching inside my head It's telling me I'm better off alone But after midnight, morning will come And the day will see if you're gonna get some They say that girl you know she act too tough tough tough It's til I turn off the light, turn off the light They say that girl you know she act so rough rough rough It's til I turn off the light, turn off the light And I say follow me follow me follow me Down down down down Til you see all my dreams Not everything in this magical world Is quite what it seems I looked above the other day 'Cause I think that I'm good and ready for a change I live my life by the moon If it's high take it low, if it's harvest go slow, and if it's full then go But after midnight morning will come And the day will see if you will get some I'm searching for things that I just cannot see Why don't you don't you don't you come and be with me? I pretend to be cool with me, want to believe I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life Where is the love I'm looking to find It's all in me why can't you why can't you why can't you see It's all in me? 8. Petals - Hole She's the angel of the top of the tree Sugar heart, here she comes, she's going to fall on me Innocence was our fire, we told the truth I miss the sweet boys in the summer of their youth Tear the petals off of you Make you tell the truth Tear the petals off of you They will make you so so cynical The fire burns the flesh, destroys the best that makes us old She's the grace of this world, she's too pure For the likes of this world This world is a whore I never knew what I could be All the darling buds of May They call with no sound They carry you down, they carry you down All the lillies bloomed and blossomed Wilted and they're shivering I can't stop them withering Oh this world is a war 9. Overprotected - Britney Spears I need time, love, joy I need space, love I need... me Say hello to the girl that I am You're gonna have to see through my perspective I need to make mistakes just to learn who I am And I don't wanna be so damn protected There must be another way 'Cause I believe in taking chances But who am I to say what a girl is to do God I need some answers.. What am I to do with my life? (You will find it out don't worry) How am I supposed to know what's right? (You just gotta do it your way) I can't help the way I feel But my life has been so overprotected I tell them what I like, what I want and what I don't But every time I do, I stand corrected Things that I've been told, I can't believe what I hear about the world I realise I'm overprotected I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna What I what what what I'm gonna do abotu my destiny I say no, no... nobody's telling me just what I wanna... do do I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me... 10. Dying To Be Alive - Hanson I heard you crying Somebody stole my soul How could I be dying I turned twenty five days ago We're all on the ground crying out Will somebody save me please I won't sit around just thinking about The troubles that tomorrow brings I'm dying to be alive Not trying to just survive Let's not go through this life Without just dying to be alive The people you've touched The way you've touched them I hope they've touched you too Cause in this life it's hard to tell What's false and what is true And we all come tumbling down Now matter how strong we all return to the ground Another day gone, a day closer to fate Soon we'll find it's a little bit too late The things you see, the way you see them Will never be the same again Let's go through life living on luck Betting ten thousand to ten And we all come tumbling down No matter how strong we all return to the ground In the days to come you'll say "why did I wait?" You can't just leave your life up to fate You've got to turn it around before it's too late 11. Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night And wouldn't you love to love her? Takes to the sky like a bird in flight And who will be her lover? All your life you've never seen a woman taken by the wind Would you stay if she promised you heaven? Will you ever win? She's like a cat in the dark And then she is the darkness She rules her life like a fine skylark When the sky is starless Taken by, taken by the sky Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind 12. Polyester Bride - Liz Phair I was talking not two days ago To a certain bartender I'm lucky to know And I asked Henry, my bartending friend If I should bother dating unfamous men And Henry said, "You're lucky to even know me You're lucky to be alive You're lucky to be drinking here for free cause I'm a Sucker for your lucky pretty eyes" And then he said, "Do you want to be a Polyester Bride? Or do you want to hang your head and die? Do you want to find alligator cowboy boots they just put on sale? Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?" I was sitting not two days ago Feeling lonely 'cause I'm just feeling low And I asked Henry, my bartending friend Why it is that there are those kind of men "Princess, do you really want to flap your wings and fly Because you've, you've got time" He keeps telling me "you've, you've got time" But I don't believe him "You've, you've got time" I keep on pushing harder I keep on pushing farther away But he keeps telling me "Baby," he says "Baby.. do you want to be a polyester bride?" "Do you want to flap your wings and fly away from here?" back
