It won't do to dream of caramel, to think of cinnamon
And long for you
It won't do to stir a deep desire, to fan a hidden fire
That can never burn true.
--Suzanne Vega, "Caramel"
Would the world between us
Break these ties
We've worked so hard to realize?
Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?
Could I ever break away?
--John Mayer, "Breakaway"
I've got a hole in me now
I've got a scar I can talk about.
--Matchbox 20, "Bright Lights"
Don't say she takes it all for granted
I am well aware of all I have
Don't think that I am disenchanted
Please understand...
--Mariah Carey, "Looking In"
When did reality become TV?
--Bowling For Soup, "1985"
I'd sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear
Don't you know little fool, you never can win
Why don't you use your mentality
Wake up to reality
But each time that I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
'Cause I've got you under my skin.
--Frank Sinatra, "Under My Skin"
I can't find anything to be sad about
They say I'm doomed, but I feel fine
But if I'm sitting here lonely
With no one to hold me
At least I'll have my health
I'm trying to control myself.
--Maroon 5, "Control Myself"
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago when they used to have a show
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Now she's lost her mind!
--Barry Manilow, "Copacabana"
I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song the way it's meant to be
I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything but be in love with you.
--Dire Straits, "Romeo and Juliet"
How do you know everything I'm about to say?
Am I that obvious? 'Cause if it's written on my face
I hope it never goes away.
--Ashlee Simpson, "Pieces of Me"
And I wouldn't trade 'ol Leroy for your Chevrolet
Or your Escalade or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town.
--Big and Rich, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy"
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to see what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
There's still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day, so I can't say what's going on.
--Damien Rice, "Cannonball"
So I'm on BBC2 now
Telling Terry Wogan I made it
And what I made is unclear now
But his difference is, and his laughter is
My smile is so easy now
Yes, it's easy now...
--Franz Ferdinand, "The Dark of the Matinee"
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forgot the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold.
--Sting, "Fields of Gold"
I'm not concieted; I'm just as good as I say I am.
--Will Smith, "Freakin' It"
I just need some time
Gather all my thoughs
To make up for the love I just lost
You've been so good to me; given me everything
Take what you want, 'cause it doesn't belong to me.
--Maroon 5, "Take What You Want"
This is a song for the unloved
This is the music for one last cry
This is a prayer that tomorrow will help me leave the past behind.
--Backstreet Boys, "The Unloved"
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
Oh, cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine.
--Stevie Wonder, "My Cherie Amour"
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you.
--Beach Boys, "God Only Knows"
