my blog - my rules!

so if you are not liking it today, me does... and if you don't think this is a drag/trans/whatsoever-movie me does.. by the way i like pedro almodovar what makes it more easier - for me. so i think it is not absolutely necessary that the main charakter in the movie has to be the dragqueen to make the movie a dragma... and i think all about my mother is a wonderful movie... so it should be named... plus you might think i'm just a comedy-freak - i'm not! that's the most important thing about being a dragqueen trapped in a womans body - yes i changed that a bit, and i changed the copyright too... it's a girls mission to be excursive! - DRAMA... hilarious drama is nice but more important are the human abysses (this works in german, i hope it does also in english - otherwise i wrote the biggest crap ever here)
another problem was to find the music... how can you add songs without lyrics? hmmhmmmhmmmmhmhmhmmhmhm... see what i mean? and when they sing, they sing in spanish and the only thing i can say in spanish is i speak no spanish... how should i decide what is a good lyric-choice?

you're right! so i made things easy for me and just picked a song about a mama... and because i posted the wonderful take your mama out already, i choose the also wonderful bran van 3000 =D

... may i borrow this lighter?


artist: bran van 3000
song: mama don't smoke
album: glee

kay well we'll just start. ready? 1, 2, 3, go.

mama don't smoke,
that much dope,
don't you worry about me.
mama don't smoke,
that much dope,
don't you worry about me.
i only get high about twice a day,
it helps to keep my blues away.

chris said something about all them,
long-haired Jesus Christ look-alikes,
shining down on me,
shining down on me.

i'm more laid back than you,
i'm more laid back than you,
yeah, i'm more laid back than you will ever be.

mama don't smoke,
that much dope,
don't you worry about me.
mama don't smoke,
that much dope,
don't you worry about me.
i only get high about twice a day,
it helps to keep my blues away.

Finally!!

Yes, yes yes! finally we are mentioning the wonderful - oscarwinning - dropdeadgorgeous movie

THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA - QUEEN OF THE DESERT

*sigh... what shall i write? these costumes were ... brilliant! the scene whitth the long silvery trail waving in the wind...
the scene with the aborigines...
the scene with the abba shit...
the scene with the flipflopdress...
whoa... the scene with the pingpongballs...
the scene with the drinking game... "now listen here, you mullet. why don't you just light your tampon, blow your box apart? because it's the only bang you're ever gonna get, sweetheart!" - *roflmao

let's sing-along with adam (i love that bastard) "a desert holiday, let's pack the drag away. you take the lunch and tea, i'll take the ecstasy. fuck off you silly queer, i'm getting out of here. a desert holiday, hip hip hip hip hooray!" - and praise this extraordinary movie

the only question that keeps sticking in my mind... why was i never able to be afraid of agent smith? AND has this anything to do with the fact that the wachowsky brothers made bound? AND is elrond gay? is he arwens father? or mother? questions! questions!! questions!!! it's a dragma!!!!

artist: cece peniston
song: finally
album: the advenures of priscilla queen of the desert (ost)

finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face and
i just can not hide it

meeting Mr. Right,
the man of my dreams
the one who shows me true love
(or at least it seems)
with brown cocoa skin
and curly black hair
it's just the way he looks at me
that gentle loving stare


finally you've come along
the way i feel about you,
it just can't be wrong
if you only knew
the way i feel about you
i just can't describe it


finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face
my feelings can't describe it
finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face and
i just can not hide it

it seems so many times
you seemed to be the one
but all he ever wanted
was to have a little fun
but now you've come along
and brightened up my world
in my heart i feel it,
i'm that special kinda girl

finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face
my feelings can't describe it
finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face and
i just can not hide it

finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face
my feelings can't describe it
finally it has happened to me
right in front of my face and
i just can not hide it

extension!

last week was short... good for everyone who likes to stay away from the desk... bad for the wonderful pieces of entertainment i like best... dragqueenmusicalmovies!
and just because we have so many of them yet unmentioned... this week we'll go on with it. starting with one of my favourites: connie and carla. i loved toni collette since she played in muriels wedding. then she was a brilliant courtney love copy in velvet goldmine too blonde in in her shoes but simply wonderful in connie and carla...
it's a hilarious story about two girls who have to hide from drugdealers (you laugh your ass of when the kilo cocain "explodes" in the car!) they end up pretending to be dragqueens... a woman pretends to be a man who pretends to be a woman?!? - yes, we will talk about victor/victoria later this week... i love this movie! even if you might throw in, that it is not a real dragqueen movie, because the girls are girls... before i say that there are dragqueens in it, i say DON'T BE SUCH A BIGOTT! i mean who cares! it's a wonderful movie with brilliant songs including the one i'm going to add... which is complicated, because i couldn't find the original soundtrack.. this movie is treated so bad by the industry, it was high time that finally me is featuring it a bit =D
AND i found out that they will show it in amsterdam this year during canal pride... whoever has the chance to go there... go... it is great! fantastic... next week i will talk about that! so i'll add the song that is the kickoff of c&c's career in west hollywood and i take the original not the "cc original" ... who cares, watch the movie and you'll understand everything =D



artist: connie and carla
song: maybe this time
album: connie and carla ost

maybe this time, i'll be lucky
maybe this time, he'll stay
maybe this time
for the first time
love won't hurry away

he will hold me fast
i'll be home at last
not a loser anymore
like the last time
and the time before

everybody loves a winner
so nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
that's what i long to be
all the odds are in my favor
something's bound to begin
it's got to happen, happen sometime
maybe this time i'll win

p.s. i found out, why i couldn't find the soundtrack... i spelled connie wrong!!! shame on me!!!

Sorry i am confused!

two days ago i told you all started with Rocky Horror... but i think this is a wrong information. well it's complicated.. the first movie i saw, where men wear womens clothes was some like it hot... maybe it was something else that i cannot remember... but i was too little to see the problem, why men souldn't do that... in what age do we stop being tolerant??? anyway... i love that movie, even though they are no dragqueens... but please ... have a look at toni curtis legs!! gorgeous! i mean, why are men blessed with this legs? it's a fucking waste! has anybody seen the add with carl lewis on red highheels? - what? for tires.. who cares... have you seen his legs?? i mean they are alright in spikes... but red highheels! RED HIGH HEELS! - do you think i'm a bit obsessive??? *ROFLMAO
anyway...some like it hot YES!!! i will not speak about marilyn monroe ... too sad! maybe later in this blog...
lets just assume i love this movie, and i find a wonderful piece of music, and it's not " i wanna be loved by you" - what is a thing i definitely want but not necessarilay wanna listen to =D

artist: marilyn monroe
song: runing wild
album: some like it hot ost

running wild,
lost control.
running wild,
mighty bold.
feeling gay,
reckless too,
carefree mind
all the time,
never blue.

always going,
don't know where,
always showing...
i don't care!
don't love nobody,
it's not worthwhile.
all alone,
running wild!

there is no better movie with patrick swayze!

i love this. to wong foo is so brilliant. and wesley snipes! wesley snipes!!! ok... ru paul is great... but WESLEY SNIPES! hello?!? this is such a wonderful movie, and this great cinderella storie with sheriff dullar... sorry it's a misprint... i mean what a great movie! i love it. i mean, i want to believe that this is possible. i want to believe that freaks were welcomed in a tiny small town, accepted and *sigh loved... i want to, i want to, i want to... do you think i'm a bit too blue-eyed? anyway... wesley snipes pushing up the bed in full drag!!!! hilarious!!!

but... i had a really hard time choosing the right song. should i take "hold me"? or "girls just wanna have fun"? but ... we are ins somekind of a freakweek ... and because of that i choose this... muahahahaha!

artist: tom jones
song: she's a lady
album: to wong foo ost

well she's all you'd ever want,
she's the kind they'd like to flaunt and take to dinner.
well she always knows her place.
she's got style, she's got grace, she's a winner.
she's a lady. whoa whoa whoa, she's a lady.
talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
well she's never in the way
always something nice to say, oh what a blessing.
i can leave her on her own
knowing she's okay alone, and there's no messing.
she's a lady. whoa, whoa, whoa. she's a lady.
talkin' about that little lady, and the lady is mine.
well she never asks for very much and i don't refuse her.
always treat her with respect, i never would abuse her.
what she's got is hard to find, and i don't want to lose her
help me build a mountain from my little pile of clay. hey, hey, hey.
well she knows what i'm about,
she can take what i dish out, and that's not easy,
well she knows me through and through,
she knows just what to do, and how to please me.
she's a lady. whoa, whoa, whoa. she's a lady.
talkin' about that little lady and the lady is mine.
yeah yeah yeah she's a lady
listen to me baby, she's a lady
whoa whoa whoa, she's a lady
and the lady is mine
yeah yeah yeah she's a lady
talkin about this little lady
whoa whoa whoa whoa
whoa and the lady is mine
yeah yeah she's a lady
and the lady is mine.

hello my little possums!

yes, this week ... as the wellinformed of you might already know by the quote from my beloved dame edna... we will have a closer look on my fatal attraction to crossdressers =D
it all started -of course- with the rocky horror picture show. *sigh my dear tim curry - he was so beautiful... AND susan sarandon - (touchatouchatouchatouchme) yummie! i think i should keep in mind to post a thing about "the hunger" ... but back to the main plot. DR. FRANK'N'FURTER... i saw him and i loved him. ok i also had a mad crush on magenta ... *drop to the floor ...what a voice *sigh ... doing a diadem followed by a double collier still lying on the ground ... *sighsighsigh
anyway. two more very important things about this movie... when i got my first tattoo i was led to the chair of torture by a nice guy - looking exactly like riff raff... ok, he was brunette and he hasn't got a hunchback, but he knows that he looks like him and it seems he loves behaving weird... it was fun!
and second, to explain how serious this weak spot should be treated... i cried at "i'm going home"... well, i'm a fag trapped in a womans body (don't even think about it! i have the copyright for that!)

to not ruin my laptop with salty waterfalls i will post the most popular song from the movie... no not timewarp... moron!

and always remember: DON'T DREAM IT, BE IT!!!

artist: tim curry
song: sweet transvestite
album: rocky horror picture show ost

Frank:

i'm not much of a man by the light of day,
but by night i’m one hell of a lover

i'm just a sweet transvestite
from transexual, transylvania

let me
show you around, maybe
play you a sound.
you look like you're both
pretty groovy.
or if you want something visual
that’s not too abismal
we can take in an old
Steeve Reeves movie

Brad: (speaking)
i'm glad we caugt you at home.
could we use your phone?
we're both in sort of a hurry.

Janet:
right.

Brad:
we'll just say where we are,
then go back to the car.

(Transylvainian: pleasure to meet you Dr. Furter)

Brad:
we dont want to be any worry.

Frank:
well you got
caugt with a flat, well
how about that!
well babies
don’t you panic

by the light of the night
it will all seem alright
i’ll get you a satanic
mechanic

i'm just a sweet transvestite
from transexual, transylvania

why dont you
stay for the night

Riff Raff: (whisper)
night!

Frank:

Columbia: (whisper)

Frank:

obsession
i've been making a man
with blond hair and a tan
and he's good for relieving my
tension

(Riff-Raff, Magenta, Columbia: sweet transvestite)

Frank:

(Riff-Raff, Magenta, Columbia: transylvania)

Frank: (speaking)
so
come up to the lab
and see whats on the slab
i see you shiver with antici...pation
but maybe the rain
isn't really to blame
so i’ll remove the cause
but not
the symptom!

my favourite song annie ever sang!

sorry, for breaking out of the concept. but my favourite annie lennox song is without participation of dave stewart. it's OF COURSE from bram stokers dracula a spectacular beatiful movie. yes she did nice in lord of the rings too BUT! i cried! when i listened to that song in the theatre... i nearly killed that idiot who faded the sound out before it was completely over...

so here we go, one of the most beatiful songs ever recorded

artist: annie lennox
song: lovesong for a vampire
album: bram stoker's dracula ost

come into these arms again
and lay your body down
the rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum

it beats for you - it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
for it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs...

once i had the rarest rose
that ever deigned to bloom.
cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon.

oh loneliness - oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
for there is in all the world
no greater love than mine.

love, oh love, oh love...
still falls the rain... (still falls the rain)
love, oh love, oh, love...
still falls the night...
love, oh love, oh love...
be mine forever.... (be mine forever)
love, oh love, oh love....

let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
now the floor of heaven's lain
with stars of brightest gold

they shine for you - they shine for you
they burn for all to see
come into these arms again
and set this spirit free

the song that's known best!

definitely "sweet dreams (are made of this)" i like it, too. even though with all the covers made from it ... i was disappointed most of the time... but marilyn manson did a really great one!
but the best thing that ever was made out of this song is "sweet cream is made of cheese" look it up under kissthisguy.com. great site by the way, you will laugh your ass of.
that reminds me... anyone who can read german should read axel hacke's "der weiße neger wumbaba" i don't think it was ever translated to english, but it is so funny. it's about misheard song... actually the title says " the white negroe wumbaba" best about it, you haven't the slightest idea what this should mean... but there is a childrenssong where they sing der wald steht schwarz und schweiget, und aus den wiesen steiget, der weisse nebel wunderbar" that's the point "der weisse nebel wunderbar" means "the white mist, wonderful" but carelessly pronounced you can mishear it. so i don't think this will make any sence to anyone, but who reads this? so ... "tomorrow morning, if god likes, you'll be choked again" *roflmao explanations will be send on kind request ...

my favourite eurythmics album!

i always asked myself, why especially this album was so underestimated. i think it's wonderful. they started very experimental... then they hit a spot with sweet dreams... my beloved touch was packed with hits (AY think, the top ten is overrated..) after that came the soundtrack to the big brother movie 1984 - strange music!!! =D followed by two total mainstream discs. be yourself tonight was still their music, but they wanted big success in america with these, so they did songs together with elvis costello and aretha franklin... nothing against these two but was that nessecary? and i was so disappointed by revenge... what a big title, what a sucking album... revenge is their worst peace ithink. and after that they went back to the roots. and promptly only "you've placed a chill in my heart" was a selling success... but i love it. it's my favourite. and one of my favourite songs of it is this:

artist: eurythmics
song: savage
album: savage

words of power are killing me
while the sun displays its teeth.
all mockery is laughing
all violence is cheap.
she said...
"these are my guns
these are my furs
this is my living room."
"you can play with me there sometimes
if you catch me in the mood."
savage
savage
savage
you savage

she said...
"i have this unhappiness
to wear around my neck."
"it's a pretty piece of jewellery
to show what i protect."
she said...
"everything is fiction
all cynic to the bone."
"so don't ask me to stay with you
don't ask to see me home."
savage
savage
savage
you savage

savage
savage
you
savage

savage
savage
savage
sssssssssssss
sssssssssssss
sssssssssssss

my first record!

isn't it a pretty one? i was away for i think five years? seven? maybe ten? definitely i was gone for six months... completely. i had my earplugs and these songs i didn't need anything more... i nearly was sent home from a school trip because i refused to take of my walkman while we were hiking. i mean, my teacher told me i should better listen to the sound of the woods instead of that crap. great idea... a kid grewing up in a small village, or more specific in the forest that surrounded this village, had surely never heard "the sound of the woods" before!
well that schooltrip =D *sigh that reminds me... i was so madly in love with a classmate... =D *sighsighsigh well HER would have been something i MIGHT took that headphones of for... maybe =D

anyway... there are a lot of great songs on that album. of course there is "who's that girl" and "here comes the rain again" but i also loved "paint a rumor" and, of course "the first cut" but remember, i was a pretty undecided little fly agaric back then and i didn't realized it instantly... but looking backwards i think the most important song for me on that album was this.

i tried to manage my life under that motto... of course i failed a few times, but i'm still trying...


artist: eurythmics
song: no fear, no hate, no pain (no broken hearts)
album: touch


well in the morning

a new week - a new theme!

and this time it's gonna be really silly. whatever you think, i was just warming up. so this week will be a wonderful and sentimental journey back to nico's past. i told you - nothing sillier than that is possible.
anyhow... the first record i ever owned was a funny little compilation of childrens song - i don't know why but i always thought the cover looked like one of my babypictures... i sang every single tune of that album from the top of my lungs even though i had mumps when i got it... later in my life i went a bit more silent, ah yes, i know you don't believe that... but who asked you?? ... where was i... silent! i should have used a what, shouldn't i ?!? don't mind... so someone anywhere watched over me or maybe i was just lucky, but my eyes fell on annie lennox those days. and from the first second i saw her, i knew whatever this woman sings is made for me. the first album i ever bought by myself after saving my allowance for a whole month was touch. their third album- of which we will speek later this week. it was often mistaken as their second one after sweet dreams but most of the people forget their first album in the garden, we also might speek about that later... would you please stop laughing? yes me is silly but not that silly. the album is called IN THE GARDEN noone forgot it there stupid! =D but that's definitely a joke of my taste... anyway

today - for starters, we will look at one later piece, where i found a song that really moved me. it is pretty close to my favourite "explain everything"-song .... all together: the origin of love from hedwig and the angryy inch, thank you...

artist: eurythmics
song: when the day goes down
album: we too are one

well don't you cry now -
don't go drowning in your tears
haven't you learnt anything
after all these years?

all god's little children
are beautiful and pure
and you're as good
as all of them
of this you can be sure

and we are just the same
underneath the shadows
of the sun
and we are just the same
no more no less than anyone

all the people
of this lonely world
have a piece of pain inside
don't go thinking
you're the only one
who ever broke right down
and cried

that's when the rain comes down
that's when the rain comes down

and this is for the broken dreamers
this is for vacant souls
this is for the hopeless losers
this is for the helpless fools
and the burnt out and the useless
and the lonely and the weak
and the lost and the degraded
and the too down to speak

and the day goes down
that's when the day
goes down

am i brilliant? - what a question...


so here is the answer. first of all it's friday. and because we, ahm me and the other sixteen persons in my head, decided to make this an "according-to" week, here is a short recap. firts we had broken flowers, with a holly golightly that sounded a bit like after dark from from dusk till dawn, where miss *sigh juliette lewis partcipated who stole her stage performance from hedwig and the angry inch (my very subjective, personel and maybe totaly wrong opinion!) this hedwig is, because of a disastrous and failed sexchangesurgery still something like a man and according to this a crossdresser - like AMY in "if these walls could talk 2" which is played by chloe (sorry i don't know how to ad the dots above the e) sevigny who TADA! played carmens assistant in "broken flowers" - HA! full circle! i'm a genius =D and according to this i'll celebrate my little dance of victory to this wonderful natalie cole song... even though it's from the episode where no miss sevigny is in... and from my point of view this makes me even more genius *ROFLMAO
plus, it's weekend, what is another great excuse for a little dance =D have a nice time, read you on monday...

artist: natalie cole

the first time anyone has loved me

oh, oh, oh

i'm so glad
you found me in time
and i'm so glad that
you've rectified my mind
this will be
an everlasting love on me

oh, oh

loving you
is some kind of wonderful
because you show me
just how much you care
you've given me
the thrill of a lifetime
and made me believe you've got more thrills to spare, oh

this will be
an everlasting love,
oh yes it will now

you've brought a lot of sunshine
into my life
you've filled me with happiness I
never knew

you gave me more joy than I
ever dreamed of
and no one, no one can take the place of you, ooh

this will be,
you and me,
yes-sir-ee,
eternally

hugging and squeezing and kissing and pleasing together, forever, through rain or whatever

yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
you and me

so long as i'm living, true love i'll be giving to you i'll be serving cuz you're so deserving

hey, you're so deserving,
you're so deserving yeh, yeh, yeh, oh, oh, oh, oh

love, love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love

HIGH TIME!!!! for my favourite movie...

and i notice this blog-thing is somehow like the chart. because one thing leads to another. holly went lightly over to tito and the spider where we met miss lewis, which - except of being nearly touched by me - in my opinion "borrowed" her on-stage-behaviour from my beloved, highly appreciated and adored hedwig! *sigh i can't help myself, i have a mad, mad thing for crossdressers. i adore them all. the good ones i love and the bad ones? i want to hug them and tell them the world isn't that evil place it seems to be - aaaaah comeon! this would be a nice kind of a lie ... anyway. if you don't have already, watch this movie... it's wonderful!

and as alway... soundfiles will be send on kind request =D

on nights like this
when the world's a bit amiss
and the lights go down
across the trailer park
i get down, i feel had
feel on the verge of going mad
and then it's time to punch the clock

i put on some make-up
turn on the tape deck
and put the wig back on my head
suddenly i'm Miss Midwest Midnight Checkout Queen
until i head home
and i put myself to bed

i look back on where i'm from
look at the woman i've become
and the strangest things seem suddenly routine
i look up from my vermouth on the rocks
the gift wrapped wig's still in the box
of towering velveteen

i put on some make-up
some LaVern Baker
and pull the wig down from the shelf
suddenly i'm Miss Beehive 1963
until i wake up
and i turn back to myself

some girls, they got natural ease
they wear it any way they please
with their french flip curls
from perfumed magazines
wear it up, let it down
this is the best way that i've found
to be the best you've ever seen

i put on some make-up
turn on the eight-track
i'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
suddenly i'm Miss Farrah Fawcett
from TV
until i wake up
and i turn back to myself

shag, bi-level, bob
Dorothy Hamill do,
sausage curl, chicken wings
it's all because of you
with your blow dried, feather backed
toni home wave, too
flip, fro , frizz, flop
it's all because of you
it's all because of you
it's all because of you

(okay...everybody...)

i put on some make-up
turn on the eight track
i'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
suddenly i'm Miss Punk Rock Star
of stage and screen
and i ain't ever
i'm never turning back

*SIGH

well, what else would fit better, after this fantastic song than a bit tito and tarantula? right - nothing! so we move straight forward to the next great movie, which is "from dusk till dawn" useless to say, that the german tv-version sucks, because all the dreamsequences of mr. tarantino were cut out... i ask myself why =D
well, and did i mention, that i nearly had the chance to lay a hand on the beautiful body of miss lewis, when she performed on stage with her licks. damn 10 cm, why am i punished with this short arms? - maybe because otherwise i would step on my hands while walking... but who cares? i could have touched her!!! *sighsighsigh

but back to the main plot: the new song

artist: tito & tarantula
song: after dark
album: from dusk till dawn ost

watching her
strolling in the night
so white
wondering why
it's only after dark

in her eyes
a distant fire light
burns bright
wondering why
it's only after dark

i find myself in her room
feel the fever of my doom
falling falling
through the floor
i'm knocking on the devil's door

in the dawn
i wake up to find
her gone
and a note says
only after dark

burning burning
in the flame
now i know her
secret name
you can tear her temple down
but she'll be back
and rule again

in my heart
a deep and dark
and lonely part
wants her and
waits for after dark

after four days of absence, i am opening the soundtrackweeks.

yesterday i saw broken flowers - finally!
i wanted to see this movie for half a year now. but anyway, the film was brilliant as expected. but! i instantly fell in love with holly golightly =D i mean i fell in love with the first holly golightly too, but this one can sing... and so nice! *sigh

aaaaaaaaaaah come on! audrey hepburn was cute, but she couldn't sing... noooo that was whispering!

lets say, holly golightly is a great singer! and kind as i am i share this with you =D

and maybe i'll send soundfiles on kind requests....

artist: holly golightly
song: there is an end
album: broken flowers ost

words disappear
words once so clear
only echoes passing through the night

the lines on my face
your fingers once trace
fading reflections of what was

thoughts rearrange
familiar now strange
all my skin is drifting on the wind

spring brings the rain
with winter comes pain
every season has an end

i’ll try
to see through the skies
but the clouds were red, locking out the sun
the sun

thoughts rearrange
familiar now strange
all my skin is drifting on the wind

spring brings the rain
with winter comes pain
every season has an end
there is an end
there is an end
there is an end
there is an end

another one. again a really hard choice.

i switched back and forth between allelujah! and winter rose.

allelujah! won.

these neck-on-necks drive me crazy!


artist: fairground attraction
song: allelujah!
album: ay fond kiss

the lights on the westway go on
a million cars hurry home
an ice-cream van shuts off its tinsel bells
winter won't be long

i see you everyday
i watch you as you walk down this way
we pass on the stairs on this council block
too shy to find words to say

but your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
allelujah, here i am
let's cut the strings tonight

so meet me on the corner at eight
let's get out of this place
we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
and let the past fall away

'cause your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
allelujah, here i am
we’ll cut the strings tonight


for your smile is a prayer that prays for love
and your heart is a kite that longs to fly
allelujah, here i am
we’ll cut the strings tonight


we'll kiss the first of a million kisses
aye aye aye hm

just as promissed

the cause of the sad songs week was, vicky who sent me the beeeeeeeautiful smells like teen spirit cover. so of course it is absolutely necessary to post it!

even though i have to do a doublepost today, because me will not be around the computer for the next days. yes, in germany the month of may is packed with public holidays =D and me decided to add some by myself...
so ... what is the necessity of a sad songs week than??? plus i interrupted it with an angry song? - i will answer this shortly...

i like sad songs

so here we go

artist: tori amos
song: smells like teen spirit
album: silent all these years

load up on guns and
bring your friends
it’s fun to lose
and to pretend
she’s over bored
and self assured
oh no, i know
a dirty word

hello hello hello hello

with the lights out it’s less dangerous
here we are now entertain us
i feel stupid and contagious
here we are now entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
yeah

i’m worse at what i do best
and for this gift i feel blessed
our little group has been
and always will be until the end

hello hello hello hello

with the lights out it’s less dangerous
here we are now entertain us
i feel stupid and contagious
here we are now entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
yeah

and i forget
just why i taste
oh yeah, i guess it makes me smile
i found it hard
it was hard to find
oh well, whatever
nevermind

hello hello hello hello

with the lights out it’s less dangerous
here we are now entertain us
i feel stupid and contagious
here we are now entertain us
a mulatto
an albino
a mosquito
my libido
yeah, a denial
a denial
a denial

do you know this feeling?

you just want to run? run run run run run. on top speed, till your lungs start burning and your heart is trying to jump right out of you? and just when you think you cannot make one step further you manage to speed up just until the point where there is not enough oxygene left to feed your brain, all is used for your muscles... and your eyes start blackening. then you are running into the tunnel. your sightfield is closing and then you just collapse. fell to the floor and keep lying there... all you can do is fight for some air... nothing else... just breathing... no thinking ... breathing... BREATHE

no? - well ok, if you ever wanna try it out, this would be the perfect backroundsong.

artist: my chemical romance
song: you know what they do to guys like us in prison
album: three cheers for sweet revenge

in the middle of a gun fight...
in the center of a restaurant...
they say, "come with your arms raised high!"
well, they're never gonna get me,
like a bullet through a flock of doves...
to wage this war against your faith in me,
your life...will never be the same.
on your mother's eyes, say a prayer...say a prayer!

now, but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us,
well, i can't...well, i can!
too much, too late, or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish,
i'll kiss your lips again.

they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
my cellmate's a killer, they made me do push-ups (in drag)
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself...am i losing myself?!
well, i miss my mom,
will they give me the chair,
or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
ah, nobody knows...all the trouble i've seen!

now, but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us,
well, i can't...well, i can!
too much, too late, or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish,
i'll kiss your lips again.

to your room...
what they ask of you
will make you want to say, "so long..."
well, i don't remember,
why remember...YOU?!

do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'cause i'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! (FIRE!!)

life is but a dream for the dead,
and well i, i won't go down by myself,
but i'll go down with my friends.
now now now now... (i can't explain)
now now now... (i can't complain)
now now, yeah!

will i ever find out how to make a goodlooking headline

anyway, i'm in the mood for a sad songs week. maybe it's just because vicky sent me this wonderful tori amos song *sigh
which i might also post this week, because it is soooooooooooooooo beautiful. thank you again!!! *sigh again... i even cannot imagine when there was the last time i took such a deep breath... na.. i can, there was something with a sunrise =D anyway...sad songs week: there are so many... all so beautiful... no wonder it's a neck-on-neck race from the start on...

todays winner is van morrison. to sad, village idiot lost... but don't be sad... well, maybe be... anyway, this ones also very nice

artist: van morrison
song: why must i always explain
album: hymns to the silence

have to toe the line, i've got to make the most
spent all the years going, from pillar to post
now i'm standing on the outside and i'm waitin' in the rain
tell me why must i always explain
bared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the cost
most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
there were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain
tell me why must i always explain

why, why must i always explain
over and over, over again
it's just a job you know and it's no sweet lorraine
tell me why must i always explain (alright)

well i get up in the morning and i get my brief
i go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief
it's not righteous indignation that makes me complain
it's the fact that i always have to explain
i can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
and i never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be
and i tell you who i am, time and time and time again
tell me why must i always explain

well it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
always telling people things they're too lazy to know
it can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insane
tell me why must i always explain.

why why why why
