Lyrics and My Biggest Pet Peeve

So, sometimes, in the middle of the day my brain stops functioning. I can't work anymore, and I need a distraction. If the girls aren't up for a walk, or if I don't really have time to leave my office, I go check out a random website. Usually a favorite blog. I already have music playing on Pandora, or through myplaylist.com or a CD that I particularly want to listen to - and I open the blog and WHAM! I am bombarded by someone else's taste in music. Do you know how confusing, loud, and obnoxious it is? It's like one of those hidden pop-ups that start talking and you can't figure out how to turn it off! So now I have to scroll down and QUICKLY push pause in order to make sure I am not blasted out of my office before the music player loads. But not only that, I have to do it EVERY TIME the page is refreshed! IT IS SO ANNOYING.

So because you force your music on me, every time I read your blog, I am going to do it too. Only less obnoxiously.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*... yeah, that's annoying.

Some songs I like for the beat, others the melody, usually it's a combination of those two and the lyrics... but lately, I have just been getting a kick out of some of these artists:

MySpace Girl (The Afters)

I saw you once, it was enough/You asked me what I wanted, I want you/But I replied, I'll have some fries
So mesmerized, my heart was over driving through

I saw your name and unashamed/I searched within 500 miles to find/Any clue just as to who I've fallen for/Cause you've got me and I've got time

I saw your picture on Myspace/Maybe someday we can turn it into ourspace baby/I don't care how long it takes/I'm saving space in my top 8 for you

The second time you were so nice/I loved the way told me to enjoy my day/But I know what you meant to say instead/Was really that you wanted us to run away

I said let's go, I'll pack my clothes/Just promise me you'll wear that/purple dress you have/You look so cute when you're confused/You backed away and asked me how I knew about that

I know you're scared/I know our love is crazy/And I'm so crazy/You make me crazy For you

The Horror of Our Love (Ludo)

I'm a killer/Cold and wrathful/Silent sleeper/I've been inside your bedroom/I've murdered half the town/Left you love notes on their headstones/I'll fill the graveyards/Until I have you

Moonlight walking/I smell your softness/Carnivorous and lusting/To track you down among the pines/I want you stuffed into my mouth/Hold you down and tear you open/Live inside you/Oh, love - I'd never hurt you

But I'll grind against your bones/Until our marrows mix/I will eat you slowly/Ohhhhh/The horror of our love...

Love Me Dead (Ludo)

Love me cancerously/Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea./'High-maintenance' means/You're a gluttonous queen/Narcissistic and mean.

Kill me romantically/Fill my soul with vomit/Then ask me for a piece of gum./Bitter and dumb/You're my sugarplum.

You're awful, I love you!
You're hideous and sexy!

Life Will Go On (Chris Isaak)

Tender dreams, shadows fall/Love too sweet, to recall/Dry your eyes, Face the dawn/Life will go on, life will go on/Broken heart find your way/Make it through just this day/Face the world on your own/Life will go on

Close I've Come (Ben Lee)

the universe is brought back/from the brink of destruction/every time you smile

Into the Dark (Ben Lee)

you're not a landmine/you're not a goldmine/no, you're not mine at all

Hmm...there are tons more. Maybe I will share more later. Or check out any of Ludo's songs. They are crazy, strange, and I absolutely love them.
