What song best describes you?

I don't know if this has been done before here...but name a song or a couple of songs that best describe who you are.



Best Imitation of Myself - Ben Folds Five

I feel like a quote out of context
Withholding the rest
So I can be free what you want to see
I got the gesture and sound
Got the timing down
It's uncanny, yeah, you think it was me
Do you think I should take a class
To lose my southern accent
Did I make me up, or make the face till it stuck
I do the best imitation of myself

The "problem with you" speech
You gave me was fine
I liked the theories about my little stage
And I swore I was listening
But I started drifting
Around the part about me acting my age
Now if it's all the same
I've people to entertain
I juggle one handed
Do some magic tricks and
The best imitation of myself

Maybe I'm thinking myself in a hole
Wondering, who I am when I ought to know
Straighten up now time to go
Fool somebody else, fool somebody else

Last night I was east with them
And west within
Trying to be for you what you wanna see
But I can't help it with you
The good and bad comes through
Don't want you hanging out with
No one but me
Now if it's all the same
It comes from the same place
And if my mind's somewhere else
You won't be able to tell
I do the best imitation of myself
Yes it's uncanny to see
You'd really think it was me
The best imitation of myself
The best imitation of myself




Girl From the Gutter - Kina

For all the things you said I'd never do
For all the things you said that were untrue
For all the times you made me feel alone
Said I'd never make it on my own

Things are looking up for me now
It seems like Karma's making it's rounds
It's my turn now, won't be held down, no
Karma's gonna visit you too
You gotta pay for the things you put me through
I hope you do, I hope you do

Yeah, yeah
I hope your hell is filled with magazines
And on every page you see a big picture of me
And under every picture a caption should read
Not bad for a girl from the gutter like me

For all the times you said "I got your back"
For all the times you stabbed me
For all the times you tried to hurt my pride
For all the pain I held down deep inside

Things are looking up for me now
It seems like Karma's making it's rounds
Its my turn now, won't be held down, no
Karma's gonna visit you too
You gotta pay for the things you put me through
I hope you do, I hope you do

Needed to make me weak to help you feel stronger
I know y'all bitches think I'm somewhere dyin' inside
Oh yeah, poor Kina, she went home
She couldn't take it no longer
But I'm right here
I'm right here, I'm right here

 

Lean on me

I'd say overall it would have to be "Lean on me" I like the fact people depend on me and it is rewarding to help those people.

Some times in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But, if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow.

CHORUS
Lean on me, when your not strong, and I'll be your friend,
I'll help you carry on. For it won't be long, 'till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on.

Please, swallow your pride, if I have
made, you need to borrow. For no one can feel those of your
needs, that you won't let show.

You just call on your brother when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you'll understand, we all need some body to lean on.

CHORUS

You just call on your brother, when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you'll understand. We all need someone to lean on

If, there is a load, that you have to bear, that you can't carry,
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load, if you just call me.

 

cool thread, builder...

i think john mayer said it best in "no such thing" i relate to that song best.

"no such thing"

"welcome to the real world", she said to me
condescendingly
take a seat
take your life
plot it out in black and white
well i never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
i'd like to think the best of me
is still hiding
up my sleeve

they love to tell you
stay inside the lines
but something's better
on the other side

i wanna run through the halls of my high school
i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

so the good boys and girls take the so called right track
faded white hats
grabbing credits
maybe transfers
they read all the books but they can't find the answers
and all of our parents
they're getting older
i wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories
tiny tragedies

they love to tell you
stay inside the lines
but something's better
on the other side

i wanna run through the halls of my high school
i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you got to rise above

i am invincible
as long as I'm alive

i wanna run through the halls of my high school
i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above

i just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
i'm gonna bust down the double doors
and when i stand on these tables before you
you will know what all this time was for" -john mayer

 

Theme from Charlie's Angels by Destiny's Child -- Independent Woman



Question: Tell me what you think about me
I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings
Only ring your cell-y when I'm feelin lonely
When it's all over please get up and leave
Question: Tell me how you feel about this
Try to control me boy you get dismissed
Pay my own fun, oh and I pay my own bills
Always 50/50 in relationships

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that

Tell me how you feel about this
Who would I want if I would wanna live
I worked hard and sacrificed to get what I get
Ladies, it ain't easy bein' independent
Question: How'd you like this knowledge that I brought
Braggin' on that cash that he gave you is to front
If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt
Depend on noone else to give you what you want

The shoes on my feet
I've bought it
The clothes I'm wearing
I've bought it
The rock I'm rockin'
'Cause I depend on me
If I wanted the watch you're wearin'
I'll buy it
The house I live in
I've bought it
The car I'm driving
I've bought it
I depend on me
(I depend on me)

All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that

Destiny's Child
Wassup?
You in the house?
Sure 'nuff
We'll break these people off Angel style

Child of Destiny
Independent beauty
Noone else can scare me
Charlie's Angels

Woah
All the women who are independent
Throw your hands up at me
All the honeys who makin' money
Throw your hands up at me
All the mommas who profit dollas
Throw your hands up at me
All the ladies who truly feel me
Throw your hands up at me

Girl I didn't know you could get down like that
Charlie, how your Angels get down like that
(repeat until fade)

 

Sixteen Tons -- Johnny Cash (among others)

I Like Beer - Tom T. Hall

damn ... i can't remember the lyrics

 

THE WANDERER by Donna Summer

Woke up this morning
dragged myself across the bed
Alice went to wonderland
but I stayed home instead
I started feeling bad
'cause I was left behind
'cause I'm a wanderer
Oh yes, I'm a wanderer

She climbed right through the mirror
Oh that really blew my mind
I think I'll follow through her rhythm
and her rhyme
I know I'm ready now
It's just a little time
'cause I'm a wanderer
I'm a wanderer

Chorus:
'cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'cause I'm a wanderer
from here to outer space
'cause I'm a wanderer
got no time
'cause I'm a wanderer
just a wanderer

Slipped down the back stair
on my toes
the out the door
they didn't hear
now they won't
see me anymore
'cause I'm can't take
that nine to five life
it's a bore
'cause I'm a wanderer
just a wanderer

and so it's up and out
and on and off the road
won't have no troubles
'cause the whole world
is my home
no need to worry
'cause I seldom am alone
'cause I'm wanderer
I'm a wanderer

(Chorus)

Now you may see me
any time and any place
and you may know me
from the same look
on your face
and I don't know if I could
change your frame of mind
'cause I'm a wanderer
just a wanderer

'Cause I'm a wanderer
I travel every place
'cause I'm a wanderer
from here to outer space
'cause I'm a wanderer
got no time
'cause I'm a wanderer
'cause I'm a wanderer
'cause I'm a wanderer
'cause I'm a wanderer...

 

At this moment... this song...
What'll we get for ten dollars?
Every t'ing you want.
Everything?
Every t'ing
Monica?
Yes, Bill?
Monica, what would you do for a job here at the White House?
I'd do anything, Bill.
Really?
Mm-hm.
Well, do you swallow?
I sure do, Bill.
You do?
Mm-hm.
Well, what would you do with this cigar?
Well why don't you let me show you, Billy.
Ooh! Don't do that, baby! Ahh! Hold on this! Oh, sock it to me! Aaah!

Chorus: (repeated during breakdowns)
Ahh! Me so horny! Me love you long time!

Verse 1: [Brother Marquis]
Sittin' in my office with my dick on hard
Fuckin' all the interns 'cause I'm the boss
Picked up the telephone to call one of my bitches
Said, "What's up, Monica baby? Can you come and kiss it?"
She arrived at the White House, knocked on the door,
Threw her draws on the floor and said "Fuck me!" like a whore"
I'm a freak in heat, a dog without warning!
Your dick is much bigger than Vernon Jordan's."

Chorus

[Bill] (during chorus):
Now Monica ...
Monica, c'mon, let's go into the Oval Office, girl.
I just wanna break you off a lil' somethin' ...
Comeon now, let's go ... well, you know we can go half on it, baby ...

Verse 2: [Fresh Kid Ice]
Gore always asks him why he sexes so much
It's the perks of being Prez; you always get a nut
Since you're married to Tipper, you shouldn't be sad
Don't tell Hilary so she won't get mad
'Cause you know she'll be disgusted if he ever gets busted
And Newt will be mad 'cause he didn't get the ass
He's a Prez in heat, a freak without warning
He loves oral sex, 'cause Bill so horny!

etc...

 

Dammit, you beat me to it.

 

depends on the mood I'm in
