"Bad Day"
(Fuel)

Had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again.
She spilled her coffee, broke her shoelace.
Smeared the lipstick on her face.
Slammed the door and said "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."

And she swears there's nothing wrong
I hear her playing that same old song
She puts me off and puts me on

And had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
She left a note that said, "I'm sorry, I had a bad day again."

Not much into country music much, but all about lyrics, and meaning to me....

Thanks to teachers who took extra time with me to protect me, and give me support.

Trapt - "No Apologies"

Holding your breath, holding your tongue
you're only holding yourself back
So much to say, so far to run,
out from the shadow you have cast.

[Chorus]
The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Closing the door, closing your eyes,
You're only closing yourself off.
So much to see, so much to try,
Don't be afraid of what you want.

[Chorus]

The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Don't wanna be no one else
What you see is what you get
No one to please, no apologies, no apologies

[Chorus]
The best days of your life have yet to come
but it's okay, its alright to open up
You don't owe anybody anything
Life is yours to live anyway you please, no apologies
No promise left for you to keep
You can be whoever you want to be, no apologies

Cast - Live the Dream

Somebody's after me, I can't pretend to be
Something I know I'm not
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today, is all I need
Chorus:
I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - so come on look within
Someone will always be more than I'll ever be
So then I'll be myself.
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today - I need today
Chorus:
I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - come on, live your dream
(Guitar Solo)
Oh you're big enough - you're tuff enough, and now I begin to see
Girl you've gotta, lay your love on me.
It's big enough - so far enough, and as far as my eye can see
Girl you gotta, lay your love on me, lay your love on
Lay your love on - lay your love on me
Somebody's after me, I can't pretend to be
Something I know I'm not
And when they come for me - I'll just let them be
'Cause all that I need today, I need today
Chorus:
An' I just wanna be thinking thoughts that I think
Dreaming my dreams and drifting within
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I know where I've been - so come on, live your dream
Like a bird without wings
Like a bird who don't sing
Like a fish on dry land
Like I'm swimmimng in sand
Like a bird without wings
Like a bird who don't sing
Like a fish on dry land
Like I'm swimmimng in sand
Like I've fallen for you

Crash Test Dummies - in the days of the caveman

When you go on camping trips you're stuck right out in nature
Foraging the forests like a primate
Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates

Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you're not a wild beast
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bedtime

See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys

Sometimes when I lie awake I hear the rainfall on my tent fly
I think of all the insects that are sleeping
And wonder if the animals are dreaming

See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys

In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors

And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in technicolor
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
Alive and being fed inside a zoo cage

Crash Test Dummies - "The Psychic"

She knows the future like the palm in your hand
She knows your past like the lay of the land
The first time she met me she saw right through me
Some cards and a cane in her hand - and she said:

All the years that have come to pass
And all the years that shall be
I see here right before me

She said her visions were a bane in her life
She could not control them, they kept her up nights
I know what you're thinking, I haven't been drinking
She knew things that cut like a knife - and she said:

All the years that have come to pass
And all the years that shall be
I see here right before me

Will there be earthquakes and great tidal waves?
Can she see back to the dinosaur days?
How can she foresee just by squinting at me and
Can she see me naked in her mind's eye?

What does she think when she foretells a disease?
Would she keep it a secret if death stood before me?
What could some cards hold, where is her foothold
Can I escape what she sees? And she said:

All the years that have come to pass
And all the years that shall be
I see here right before me
I see here before me

Ocean Colour Scene - Travellers Tune

Where do you go buttoned in your favorite coat
Stepping out to a different world
And you might be home late
And where are you now
Staring at your favorite box
The one with the traveler's cross
On the road past the gate

But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While you're thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in your different world

And if I could swim
Then I'd get out and find my boat
Sail away to my favorite coast
And let you all in
And if I could do all the things you're asking for
Then maybe I'd find your door
And bring it home to you

But if you find yourself standing on the corner
While you're thinking of a different world
Then you might see me waiting on the corner
Staring through you in your different world

So where do we go
Like two Christophers in the snow
Yeah we're blind but we want to know
Just to say I love you
And all of our lives
We'll sail through the suns and moons
To sing our travelers tune
Just to say I love you

@Muzikluvr posted if a different thread. Yet I can't get out of my head. Don't judge, or comment, unless you watch entire video. Republican, Democratic, or Independent - doesn't really matter. Why are we letting our country go down hill so fast. Anyone who knows some history knows faster they rise - harder they fall.

Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite " - Makana

Abba - I'm a marionette

"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee
Something's wrong, got a feeling that I don't belong
As if I had come from outer space, out of place, like King Kong

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

Like a doll, like a puppet with no will at all
And somebody told me how to talk, how to walk, how to fall

Can't complain, I've got no-one but myself to blame
Something's happening I can't control, lost my hold, is it safe?

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"Look this way, just a little smile," is what they say
"You look better on the photograph if you laugh, that's okay"

I'm a marionette, just a marionette, pull the string
I'm a marionette, everybody's pet, just as long as I sing
I'm a marionette, see my pirouette, round and round
I'm a marionette, I'm a marionette, just a silly old clown

"You're so free," that's what everybody's telling me
Yet I feel I'm like an outward-bound, pushed around, refugee

Del Amitri - Nothing ever happens


Post office clerks put up signs saying 'position closed'
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
And janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show

And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go
And by five o'clock everything's dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
Like the doped white mice in the college lab

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care
Closed-circuit cameras in department stores
Shoot the same movie every day
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

And bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While "Angry from Manchester" writes to complain about
All the repeats on TV
Computer terminals report some gains in the values of copper and tin
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
For the price of a hospital wing

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before

And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
And we'll all go along like before

And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
