blind-fitter Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Off the top of my head...... "My Girl" - Madness ...which speaks to just about every bloke, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Speaking of Japan... "The Art Of Parties," "Ghosts," and "Talking Drum." All from their last album, Tin Drum. Lemme add some Roxy Music and David Bowie into the mix by listing "More Than This" and "The Man Who Sold The World." I'd also like to say "Words" by F.R. David (since it is the best song ever made), but that's mainly the nostalgia talkin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 You've lived "The Man Who Sold The World"??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ombre Vivante Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Just the beginning part about a chance meeting with a person from the past. Definitely the line "although I wasn't there, he said I was his 'friend' " makes me think of a couple of situations I've encountered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 I can't really think of any songs that I have 'lived' so to speak. Everyone interprets song lyrics differently so based on that there could be any number of applicable songs. I just fret about listing any songs because I worry that the meaning I derive from them isn't the meaning I'm supposed to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Radhi - that's the beauty of art, of any kind. It's left to interpretation by the viewer, the listener, whatever. Even if the artist meant one thing while they wrote the song, it can have special meaning for someone for something completely different. One other song I have "lived" are: Independence Day ~ Martina McBride and one I feel I'm living right at this moment is Every Breath You Take ~ Sting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 ha ha... that's funny. I think if I were the stalker, I wouldn't admit that it were even happening. Unless I was completely insane, in which case, yeah, I'd probably brag about it. I'm not insane. That I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 So I guess that's a roundabout way of saying you're the stalkee? Sucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Too many to count.

Shawna Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 oh yeah... and the one I've lived my entire adult life (along with every other single woman out there): Trying To Find Atlantis ~ Jamie O'Neal I hear he's out there somewhere Been looking for him everywhere From Roswell to Timbuck Tu I thought I found him once at a Jiffy Lube But it turned into a dead end so I got my oil changed and I tried again He was a major in archeology I was digging on him but he wasn't on me A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis It's a mystery like the deep blue sea You can take it you can leave it but I still believe So I won't give up and I won't give in I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis I met a mystic down in Memphis, we stood at the foot of the pyramids He had me looking east, he had me looking west Then he showed me a map and said, "I wish you the best" Then there was Elvis - not the real one When told me good bye he called me "hon" Just another shot in the dark like El Dorado or Noah's ark A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis It's a mystery like the deep blue sea You can take it you can leave it but I still believe So I won't give up and I won't give in I know I'm gonna find him I just don't know when A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie_sane Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Thunder Road - Bruce Springsteen Night Moves - Bob Seger Sure Know Something - Kiss I Remember You - The Ramones I think that's why these songs would always be on a list of my favourites, because I can relate to them so strongly.

edna Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 "Bob Dylan´s 115th Dream" tells my story: I was riding on the Mayflower When I thought I spied some land I yelled for Captain Arab I have yuh understand Who came running to the deck Said, "Boys, forget the whale Look on over yonder Cut the engines Change the sail Haul on the bowline" We sang that melody Like all tough sailors do When they are far away at sea "I think I'll call it America" I said as we hit land I took a deep breath I fell down, I could not stand Captain Arab he started Writing up some deeds He said, "Let's set up a fort And start buying the place with beads" Just then this cop comes down the street Crazy as a loon He throw us all in jail For carryin' harpoons Ah me I busted out Don't even ask me how I went to get some help I walked by a Guernsey cow Who directed me down To the Bowery slums Where people carried signs around Saying, "Ban the bums" I jumped right into line Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late" When I realized I hadn't eaten For five days straight I went into a restaurant Lookin' for the cook I told them I was the editor Of a famous etiquette book The waitress he was handsome He wore a powder blue cape I ordered some suzette, I said "Could you please make that crepe" Just then the whole kitchen exploded From boilin' fat Food was flying everywhere And I left without my hat Now, I didn't mean to be nosy But I went into a bank To get some bail for Arab And all the boys back in the tank They asked me for some collateral And I pulled down my pants They threw me in the alley When up comes this girl from France Who invited me to her house I went, but she had a friend Who knocked me out And robbed my boots And I was on the street again Well, I rapped upon a house With the U.S. flag upon display I said, "Could you help me out I got some friends down the way" The man says, "Get out of here I'll tear you limb from limb" I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too" He said, "You're not Him Get out of here before I break your bones I ain't your pop" I decided to have him arrested And I went looking for a cop I ran right outside And I hopped inside a cab I went out the other door This Englishman said, "Fab" As he saw me leap a hot dog stand And a chariot that stood Parked across from a building Advertising brotherhood I ran right through the front door Like a hobo sailor does But it was just a funeral parlor And the man asked me who I was I repeated that my friends Were all in jail, with a sigh He gave me his card He said, "Call me if they die" I shook his hand and said goodbye Ran out to the street When a bowling ball came down the road And knocked me off my feet A pay phone was ringing It just about blew my mind When I picked it up and said hello This foot came through the line Well, by this time I was fed up At tryin' to make a stab At bringin' back any help For my friends and Captain Arab I decided to flip a coin Like either heads or tails Would let me know if I should go Back to ship or back to jail So I hocked my sailor suit And I got a coin to flip It came up tails It rhymed with sails So I made it back to the ship Well, I got back and took The parkin' ticket off the mast I was ripping it to shreds When this coastguard boat went past They asked me my name And I said, "Captain Kidd" They believed me but They wanted to know What exactly that I did I said for the Pope of Eruke I was employed They let me go right away They were very paranoid Well, the last I heard of Arab He was stuck on a whale That was married to the deputy Sheriff of the jail But the funniest thing was When I was leavin' the bay I saw three ships a-sailin' They were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was And how come he didn't drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said, "Good luck." No, I was joking... But "April, come she will", Simon&Garfunkel, was written about me... well, in case I´m wrong, it´s a coincidence... I apologize for the long post.
