Soundtrack....


johnny

Recommended Posts

I've often thought of songs that would be perfect for moments in your life, big events or just everyday stuff....

So I'll start it off by say a moment in my life and then a song that would go perfect for it, just like a soundtrack....

Geddit? Of course you do :thumbsup:

Breaking up from a long term relationship?

"Je suis venu te dire que je m´en vais"

Serge Gainsbourg

Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais

et tes larmes n'y pourront rien changer

comme dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"

je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais

tu t'souviens des jours anciens et tu pleures

tu suffoques, tu blémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure

des adieux à jamais

oui je suis au regret

d'te dir'que je m'en vais

oui je t'aimais, oui, mais- je suis venu te dir'que je m'en vais

tes sanglots longs n'y pourront rien changer

comm'dit si bien Verlaine "au vent mauvais"

je suis venu d'te dir'que je m'en vais

tu t'souviens des jours heureux et tu pleures

tu sanglotes, tu gémis à présent qu'a sonné l'heure

des adieux à jamais

oui je suis au regret

d'te dir'que je m'en vais

car tu m'en as trop fait...

Dead Skunk

( Loudon Wainwright III )

Crossin' the highway late last night

He shoulda looked left and he shoulda looked right

He didn't see the station wagon car

The skunk got squashed and there you are!

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose!

Roll up yer window and hold yer nose

You don't have to look and you don't have to see

'Cause you can feel it in your olfactory

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

Yeah you got yer dead cat and you got yer dead dog

On a moonlight night you got yer dead toad frog

Got yer dead rabbit and yer dead raccoon

The blood and the guts they're gonna make you swoon!

You got yer

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

You got yer dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high Heaven!

C'mon stink!

You got it!

It's dead, it's in the middle

Dead skunk in the middle!

Dead skunk in the middle of the road

Stinkin' to high heaven!

All over the road, technicolor man!

Oh, you got pollution

It's dead, it's in the middle

And it's stinkin' to high, high Heaven!

You don't want to go to work/school tomorrow.

Okay...the obvious one here:

Bang The Drum All Day ~ Todd Rundgren

:drummer:

I dont want to work

I want to bang on the drum all day

I dont want to play

I just want to bang on the drum all day

Ever since I was a tiny boy

I dont want no candy

I dont need no toy

I took a stick and an old coffee can

I bang on that thing til I got

Blisters on my hand because

When I get older they think Im a fool

The teacher told me I should stay after school

She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands

But my licks was so hot

I made the teacher wanna dance

And thats why

Listen to this

Every day when I get home from work

I feel so frustrated

The boss is a jerk

And I get my sticks and go out to the shed

And I pound on that drum like it was the bosss head

Because

I can bang that drum

Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?

I can do this all day

You ran into an old friend from school

I'm Alright ~ Jo Dee Messina

Well it's been a long time glad to see your face

I knew we'd meet again another time another place

Can't believe it's been so many years

You'd better grab a chair and a couple of beers

Lookin' good in your three piece suit

You know, I always knew you'd take the business route

You were always the one to follow the light and you look like you're doing alright

Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper

I'm above the below and below the upper

I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight

But I guess I'm doin' alright

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright

It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm doin' alright

o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright

Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright

Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger

They thought we were crazy but we had the hunger

We kept a lot of friends, skipped a lot of classes

Been on top of the world and knocked on our a**es

We lost touch, we lost in love

We lost our minds when things got tough, but

Beatin' time is a losin' fight and I guess I'm doin' alright

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright

It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm doin' alright

o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright

Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright

Well I guess I'm doin' alright

Well I hate to see this evening end

God only knows when I'll see you again

Just send a fax or send me a letter or give me a call that would even be better

Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family

And tell them all my future's lookin' bright

Well, I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright

I said I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright

It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight so I guess I'm doin' alright

o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright

Got a good old friend here with me tonight and I guess I'm doin' alright

Well I guess I'm doin' alright

I'm doin' alright

You just woke up

Lovely Day ~ Bill Withers

When I wake up in the morning, love

And the sunlight hurts my eyes

And something without warning, love

Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me

Just one look at you

And I know it's gonna be

(Chorus):

A lovely day

... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

A lovely day

... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

When the day that lies ahead of me

Seems impossible to face

When someone else instead of me

Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me

Just one look at you

And I know it's gonna be

(Chorus)

A lovely day

... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

A lovely day

... lovely day, lovely day, lovely day ...

When the day that lies ahead of me

Seems impossible to face

When someone else instead of me

Always seems to know the way

Then I look at you

And the world's alright with me

Just one look at you

And I know it's gonna be

A lovely day......(chorus repeated)

You're very upset with someone

^ "Everything about you" from a few posts up would have worked too, but since I already used that one:

I hope you Die ~ Bloodhound Gang

You must die I alone am best!

I hope ya flip some guy the bird

He cuts you off and you're forced to swerve

In front of the Beatles' tour bus

A Bookmobile and a Mack truck

Hauling hazardous biological waste

The light turns red you have no brakes

And "Hard Copy" gets it all on tape

So you can see the look on your face

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope your Pinto begins to spin

Takes out a disabled Vietnam Veteran

Mows down a Nobel Peace Prize Winner

And maybe some orphans having Christmas dinner

Perhaps even the British Royal Family

And the Rabbi that's clutching the bottle-fed puppy

And we can't forget the newlyweds

And those Jerry's Kids are as good as dead

I hope this helps to emphasize

I hope this helps to clarify

I hope you die

I hope your cellmate thinks he's God

But C.N.N. refer to him as "Bowling Ball Bag Bob"

Serving time again for abuse of a corpse

Only this time the victim's a Clydesdale horse

While he masturbates to photos of livestock

He does the "Silence of the Lambs" dance to Christian Rock

Eats feces and quotes from "Deliverance"

And fights with his imaginary playmate Vince

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

Die Die Die Die Die Die Die

I hope he grins like Jack Nicholson

And forces you to play a game called "Balls On Chin"

And whatever happens next is all a blur

But you remember "fist" can be a verb

And when you finally regain consciousness

You're bound and gagged in a wedding dress

And the prison guard looks the other way

‘Cause he's the guy ya flipped the bird the other day

I hope this helps to emphasize

I hope this helps to clarify

I hope you die

I hope you die

It's raining

Let It Rain ~ Eric Clapton

The rain is falling through the mist of sorrow that surrounded me.

The sun could never thaw away the bliss that lays around me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let your love rain down on me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let it rain, rain, rain.

Her life was like a desert flower burning in the sun.

Until I found the way to love, it's harder said than done.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let your love rain down on me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let it rain, rain, rain.

Now I know the secret; there is nothing that I lack.

If I give my love to you, you'll surely give it back.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let your love rain down on me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let it rain, rain, rain.

Waking up in a bad mood.

I like this game :grin:

Waking Up - Elastica

I'd work very hard but I'm lazy

I can't take the pressure and it's starting to show

In my heart you know that it pains me

A life of leisure is no life you know

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh oh, I think you should know.

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh, oh, I think you should know.

Oh, oh, I think you should go.

Make a cup of tea, and put a record on.

I'd work very hard but I'm lazy

I've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head.

I'll get a guitar and a lover who pays me

If I can't be a star I won't get out of bed.

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh, oh, I think you should know.

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh, oh, I think you should know.

Oh, oh, I think you should go.

Make a cup of tea, and put a record on.

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh, oh, I think you should know.

Waking up and getting up has never been easy,

Oh, oh, I think you should know.

"Generation Landslide"- Alice Cooper :rockon:

Please clean your plate dear

The Lord above can see you

Don't you know people are starving in Korea

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles

Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them

The over-indulgent machines were their children

There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them

'Cause they looked just like humans

At Kresge's and Woolworth's

But decadent brains were at work to destroy

Brats in batallions were ruling the streets

Saying generation landslide

Closed the gap between them

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

Militant mothers hiding in their basements

Using pots and pans as thier shields and their helmets

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs

While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers

Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer

Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance

Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours

But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father

Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour

The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em

But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

Hungry

Weird Al Yankovic - Eat It

How come you're always such a fussy young man

Don't want no Cap'n Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran

Well don't you know that other kids are starvin' in Japan

So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate

Don't want to hear about what kinds of foods you hate

You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off you're plate

So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full

Just eat it... eat it

Get yourself an egg and beat it

Have some more chicken

Have some more pie

It doesn't matter

If it's boiled or fried

Just eat it, just eat it

Just eat it, just eat it... Woo!

Your table manners are a crying shame

You're playing with your food, this ain't some kind of game

Now, if you starve to death

You'll just have yourself to blame

So eat it. Just eat it.

You better listen, better do as you're told

You haven't even touched your tuna casserole

You better chow down, or it's gonna get cold

So eat it.

I don't care if you're full

Just eat it... eat it

Open up your mouth and feed it

Have some more yogurt

Have some more Spam

It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned

Just eat it! Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!

Don't you make me repeat it!

Have a banana, have a whole bunch

It doesn't matter what you had for lunch

Just eat it! Eat it!

Eat it! Eat it!

Eat it! Eat it!

If it's too cold, reheat it

Have a big dinner. Have a light snack

If you don't like it, you can't send it back

Just eat it! Eat it!

Get yourself an egg and beat it!

Have some more chicken. Have some more pie

It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried

Just eat it! Eat it!

Don't you make me repeat it!

YOU'VE JUST LOST YOUR JOB

Take This Job & Shove It--Johnny Paycheck

Take This Job and Shove It

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

and took all the reasons

I was working for

You better not try to stand in

my way as I'm walking out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

I've been working in this factory

For nigh on fifteen years

All this time I watched my woman

Drowning in a pool of tears

And I've seen a lot of good folks die

That had a lot of bills to pay

I'd give the shirt right off my back

If I had the guts to say

Take This Job and Shove It

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

and took all the reasons

I was working for

You better not try to stand in

my way as I'm walking out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

Well that foreman he's a riggity dog

The lineboss He's a fool

Got brand new flattop hair cut

looorrdd he thinks he's cool

One of these days I'll blow my top

And That Sucker he's gonna pay

lord I can't wait to see their faces

When I get the nerve to say

Take This Job and Shove It

I ain't working here no more

My woman done left

and took all the reasons

I was working for

You better not try to stand in

my way as I'm walking out the door

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it

I ain't working here no more,

Take this job and shove it

You have just won the lottery.

For The Love Of Money ~ The O'Jays

Money money money money, money (x6)

Some people got to have it

Some people really need it

Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it

You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it

Talk about cash money, money

Talk about cash money- dollar bills, yall

For the love of money

People will steal from their mother

For the love of money

People will rob their own brother

For the love of money

People can't even walk the street

Because they never know who in the world they're gonna beat

For that lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar, money

For the love of money

People will lie, Lord, they will cheat

For the love of money

People don't care who they hurt or beat

For the love of money

A woman will sell her precious body

For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight

Call it lean, mean, mean green

Almighty dollar

I know money is the root of all evil

Do funny things to some people

Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime

Money can drive some people out of their minds

Got to have it, I really need it

How many things have I heard you say

Some people really need it

How many things have I heard you say

Got to have it, I really need it

How many things have I heard you say

Lay down, lay down, a woman will lay down

For the love of money

All for the love of money

Don't let, don't let, don't let money rule you

For the love of money

Money can change people sometimes

Don't let, don't let, don't let money fool you

Money can fool people sometimes

People! Don't let money, don't let money change you,

it will keep on changing, changing up your mind

You are being stalked.

Light Up Or Leave Me Alone - Traffic

Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away

You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say

Don't make me angry with the games that you play

Either light up or leave me alone

You walk in my room, you lie in my bed

You open your mouth, shoot someone dead

All of a sudden you're inside my head

Either light up or leave me alone

Spending my bread like it grew on a tree

You're trying to tell me 'bout the birds and the bees

The skirt that you're wearing is way past your knees

Either light up or leave me alone

You're up all night preaching your mind

Come home in the morning with your latest find

I'm gonna have to lay it to you straight on the line

Either light up or leave me alone.

You Have A Nasty Hangover

Brainstew ~ Green Day

I'm having trouble trying to sleep

I'm counting sheep but running out

As time ticks by

And still I try

No rest for crosstops in my mind

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed

Dried up and bulging out my skull

My mouth is dry

My face is numb

Fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

My mind is set on overdrive

The clock is laughing in my face

A crooked spine

My sense is dulled

Passed the point of delirium

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed

Dried up and bulging out my skull

My mouth is dry

My face is numb

Fucked up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

You wake up alone... again

Amy Winehouse-Wake Up Alone

It's okay in a day, I'm staying busy

Tied up enough so I don’t have to wonder where is he

Got so sick of crying

So just lately

When I catch myself I do a 180

I stay up clean the house

At least I'm not drinking

Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking

That silent sense of content

That everyone gets

Just disappears soon as the sun sets

His face in my dreams, seizing my guts

He floods me with dread

Soaked to the soul

He swims in my eyes by the bed

Pour myself over him

Moon spilling in

And I wake up alone

Bothers my heart

I'd rather be restless

The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless

Got this ache in my chest

Cuz my day is done now

The dark covers me and I cannot run now

My blood running cold

I stand before him

It's all I can do to assure him

When he comes to me

I drip for him tonight

Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light

His face in my dreams, seizing my guts

He floods me with dread

Soaked to the soul

He swims in my eyes by the bed

Pour myself over him

Moon spilling in

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone

And I wake up alone

You keep missing each other.

"Ana Ng"- They Might Be Giants

Make a hole with a gun perpendicular

To the name of this town in a desk-top globe

Exit wound in a foreign nation

Showing the home of the one this was written for

My apartment looks upside down from there

Water spirals the wrong way out the sink

And her voice is a backwards record

It's like a whirlpool and it never ends

Ana Ng and I are getting old

And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words

They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

All alone at the '64 World's Fair

Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all"

Who was at the Dupont Pavilion?

Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there?

Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire

To the horn on the pole at the bus depot

And in the back of the edge of hearing

These are the words the voice was repeating:

Ana Ng and I are getting old

And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words

They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge:

"I don't want the world, I just want your half"

They don't need me here, and I know you're there (don't need me)

Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by)

And it sticks like a broken record

Everything sticks like a broken record

Everything sticks until it goes away (it goes home)

And the truth is, we don't know anything (don't know)

Ana Ng and I are getting old

And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words

They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old

And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words

They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

Ana Ng and I are getting old

And we still haven't walked in the glow of each other's majestic presence

Listen Ana hear my words

They're the ones you would think I would say if there was a me for you

You want to go home

Homeward Bound

I'm sitting in the railway station.

Got a ticket for my destination.

On a tour of one-night stands my suitcase and guitar in hand.

And ev'ry stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band.

Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting

Silently for me.

Ev'ry day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines.

And each town looks the same to me, the movies and the factories

And ev'ry stranger's face I see reminds me that I long to be,

Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting

Silently for me.

Tonight I'll sing my songs again,

I'll play the game and pretend.

But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me.

Homeward bound,

I wish I was,

Homeward bound,

Home where my thought's escaping,

Home where my music's playing,

Home where my love lies waiting

Silently for me

Silently for me

You really miss someone

Your Name On A Grain Of Rice ~ RCPM

I see the sun settin’ over America

I’m tryin’ to leave my darker side behind

Feelin’ my way down a blue desert highway

Wish my rear view mirror could tell me a lie

The harder I fight the stronger it’s a comin’

I wipe the tears from my eyes

and keep on strummin’

Baby, I ain’t runnin’ away

I’m tryin’ to find you something better inside me

And now my second home is a third world cantina

I spend years alone in the days I can’t see you

And to me the sunset sinkin’ in the sea

Looks like my own bleedin’ corazon

There’s a man comin’ over here

Sellin’ silver and souvenirs

And I will pay full price

For your name on a grain of rice

I am a father, a son and a restless spirit

I can see the light but I can never get near it

What good is my love song

If you ain’t around to hear it

I see the fighter planes tearing’ across the desert sky

Do I curse them or cheer them on?

I still can’t decide….

But the silence they leave behind

Sounds like what I feel inside…

And now my second home is a third world cantina

I spend years alone in the days I can’t see you

And to me the sunset sinkin’ in the sea

Looks like my own bleedin’ corazon

There’s a man comin’ over here

Sellin’ silver and souvenirs

And I will pay full price

For your name on a grain of rice

You wish someone would just go away.
