create the soundtrack to my life

- by Easily Amused

I am discouraged
I have a fear
I can hide in a room for a year

I’ve got the brains
I’ve got the guts
I’m a shooter when it comes to my looks

Then I’m up and down
Then I’m all around
I’m your friend one minute and I’m off in the next

I’m up and down
Yeah I’m all around
Got a moody reflex

I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do too
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something’s got me trapped inside

I’m like a man
I take a stand
I don’t care what anybody thinks

I’ve got the means
I do the work
I bury all my feelings in the dirt

Then the tricky part crushes my thin heart
I’m afraid one minute and I lose in the next

The tricky part crushed the delicate spot
I’ve got a moody reflex

I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do too
I have the courage to be brave
I can conquer anything
But something’s got me trapped inside

Oh…
I like the way I’m made up yeah
And I’m not gonna change my way
I like it, I like it
I am only a girl who suffers too
I am only a girl who suffers like you
I have just the amount of patience that you do to
I am only a girl who’s brave and true
I am only a girl in the world

21st Century Rip Off – T.S.O.O.L.

I’ve been cheated by everyone
I’ve been cheatin’ myself
I’ve been cheated by everyone
And everyone’s been cheated by me

I’ve been cheated by things I’ve done
And I’ve been cheated by friends
I’ve been cheated to put you one
And it looks like it will never end

Well, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
And everyone’s been cheated for the 21st century…

I’ve been cheated by things I’ve seen
And all I’ve learned in school
I’ve been cheated by TV screens
And artificial families too

So teach me how to get even
And take a change with me

Well, I could make you the biggest fool
Could even make you bigger than me

Well, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated for the 21st century…

Well, some people think think that they’re gaining control
Oh! Isn’t it fun just to watch them fall
If they screwed you once they will do it again
So hurry up before you wind up on losin’end
And come on, come on, come on

I’ve been cheated so many times
But I’m as good as can be
So let me drop you another lie
And show you to my company
Well, did I say that I liked you
Should I remember your name
Well you can do what you want to do
Cause you’re all a big part of a frame

Well, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated for the 21st century

Yeah, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated by everyone
Yeah, everyone’s been cheated for the 21st century…

So come on…
Yeah, come on

If You Don’t, Don’t – Jimmy Eat World

...no lyrics for this one, just because I really can’t be bothered!

Half the World Away – Oasis

I would like to leave this city
This old town don’t smell too pretty
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

And when I leave this island,
I’ll book myself into a soul asylum
‘Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go
Still sratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can’t give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You’re half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I’ve been lost, I’ve been found but I don’t feel down

And when I leave this planet
You know I’d stay but I just can’t stand it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

And if I could leave this spirit
I’d find me a hole and I’ll live in it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

Here I go
I’m still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can’t give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You’re half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I’ve been lost, I’ve been found but I don’t feel down
No I don’t feel down
No I don’t feel down

I don’t feel down…

... you know the ones. Some make you laugh, others make you cry, but they all have something in common. The sense that the song was written for YOU, was penned as an ode to a specific event in your life. With hearing one of those songs comes this overwhelming feeling of something that cannot be described.

Or maybe that’s just me.

Here’s to writing my story in song.
