Here's a classic song I hope you can work with, if you are still out there. :)

You Give Me Fever
by Peggy Lee

never know how much i love you
never know how much i care
when you put your arms around me
I give you fever that's so hard to bare

you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Sun lights up the day time
moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
and you know i'm gonna treat you right

you give me fever
when you kiss me
fever when you hold me tight
Fever
In the morning
Fever all through the night

Everybodies got the fever
That is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago

Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said Julie baby your my flame

Now give me fever
When were kissin
Fever with that flame in you
Fever
I'm a fire
Fever yeah i burn for you

Captain smith and pocahontas
had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said daddy oh don't you dare

He gives me fever
With his kisses
fever when he holds me tight
Fever
I'm his misses
Daddy won't you treat him right

Now you listened to my story
Here's the point that i have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fair and have a sense of game

They give you fever
when you kiss them
Fever if you really learned
Fever
Till you sizzlen
But what a lovely way to burn

But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn
But what a lovely way to burn

Huh. Some lame song by an icelandic girl band.
Might still be interesting. It's mushy and generic enough. ;)

Good Things
by Nylon

You need to know
I've been thinking about
all the madness that we have shared

I had some hope
But it's slipping away
And you don't even seem to care

You know your power
Got lost in you
Didn't notice you were taking control

I've seen the signs now
And i think it's time
I was getting back my soul

Feels like i'm coming around (around around around)
I was lost but i think i find out

The End

All good things that come to and end now
The End
It's too late to try to pretned you still care
All good things that come to an end now
The end
All those good things

Tired of secrets
All those sleepless slights
I spent wondering about you and me

Tired of chasing
All these little lies
They still got me turned up inside

You are my weakness
You could drive me wild
Going round in circles inside my head

I'm not so blind now
Cos i can see
We were never meant to be

Feels like im coming around (around around around)
I was lost but i think i found out

The End

All good things that come to and end now
The End
It's too late to try to pretend you still care
All good things that come to and end now
The End
All those good things

Feels like i'm coming around (around around around)
I was lost but i think i found out

The End

All good things that come to an end now
The End
It's too late to try to pretend you still care
All good things that come to and end now
The End
It's too late to try to pretend you still care

Helena
by My Chemical Romance

Long ago
Just like the hearse you died to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold
And what's the worst you take(worst you take)
From every heart you break (heart you break)
And like a blade you stain (blade you stain)
Well I've been holding on tonight

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me?
Are you near me?
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again, when both our cars collide

[Chorus]
What's the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Week 90: Submit

helgarr — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 01:41:24 GMT

New Tori Amos CD not long ago.
Two songs from that one.
Hope they are useful!

Bouncing Off Clouds
by Tori Amos

Bouncing off of clouds we were
Is there a love Lost and Found
Make it easy, make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal, wrapped in ivy
Paint it in mint ice cream

We could be bouncing off the top of this cloud (I'll put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud

Failure to respond but
I did, but did you listen?

Bouncing off the top of this cloud (I'll put on my silver)
About what you said, has it come to this? (I'll put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud

Well you can stare all day at the sky
But that won't bring her back, that won't bring her back
You said you're waiting on Fate
But I think Fate is now, I think Fate is now
Waiting on us

Make this easy, easy, easy
We could make this easy, easy love easy
We could make this easy, make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Make this easy, make this easy
It's not as heavy as it seems
Wrapped in metal, wrapped in ivy
Blue umbrellas now smiling

We could be bouncing off the top of this cloud (I'll put on my silver)
About what you said, has it come to this? (I'll put on my silver)
Bouncing off the top of this cloud (I'll put on my silver)
About what you said, has it come to this? (I'll put on my silver)
Bouncing off of clouds, we were...

Secret Spell
by Tori Amos

In one hand dreams a plenty
In her smile a secret spell
There have been disappointments
These she knows all too well
And you losing you was not
A part of this plan

So jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Just turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell

At the heart of the matter
Someone wove a secret spell
Mixed with girl not so peaceful
Angel and animal
But me losing you was not
A part of this plan

So jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Just turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
You still got your secret spell

Girl you got to do a 180
Disappointment you know it well
But you losing you was not
A part of this plan

So jumps at three tears at thirteen
Just turn you around for
Eighteen wheels in a high heel
Just turn you around
Sold a dream at twenty three
Turn you around
Hold out
Hold out
You still got your secret spell
Girl you got to do a 180
'cause you still got your secret spell

Give it a go, will ya?

Don't Stop Me Now
by Queen

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world turning inside out, yeah
And floating around in ecstasy, so
Don't stop me now
Don't stop me
'Cuz I'm having a good time, having a good time

I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm a traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

(Don't stop me now) I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball
(Don't stop me now) if you wanna have a good time just give me a call
(Don't stop me now) 'Cuz I'm havin' a good time
(Don't stop me now) Yes, I'm havin' a good time
I don't want to stop at all

I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite, I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode

I'm burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you

Don't stop me, don't stop me
Don't stop me, hey hey hey!
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Oh, ooh, ooh, (I like it)
Don't stop me, don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don't stop me, don't stop me

I'm burning through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman out of you

Yes, we've all had our weird taste.
When I was 14 I owned this CD and loved this song.
If you can't make something of this I'll buy and eat a hat! XD

I Hate You Then I Love You
by Celine Dion

I'd like to run away from you
But if I were to leave you I would die
I'd like to break the chains you put around me
And yet I'll never try

No matter what you do you drive me crazy
I'd rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so empty
As soon as you were gone

Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you
You make me long for you

You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you
You make me cry for you

I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you
I could never live without you

You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you

I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
I love you more
For whatever you do
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you

I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
But you

I know I haven't picked the best lyrics as of late. Might be my taste in music or lack of new artists that actually sing, but I'll try and better that.

All ideas and thoughts are welcomed. All opinions too. No feelings will be hurt in the process. If it's time to let go, I'll let go. :)

Week 87: Voting

helgarr — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 13:22:44 GMT

I am incredibly sorry for not doing my job as a mod these past weeks. It's been a bit weird starting work in a hectic place, finishing exams and having to deal with a lack of entries.
But we still have nine beautiful icons for you to choose from.
I will put up a poll later which will decide the fate of this community.

But now, onto the voting! :D

Week 87: Submit

Was looking at laptops this week and thought I hear Millencolin in the store stereos. Haven't thought of them for years, but I did listen to one of their CDs a lot, including this song.

No Cigar
by Millencolin

Tell us where you're from,
What you want to become
And we'll say if you're OK.
Where did you go to school,
Right answer and you're cool.
Yeah, you're the kid the whole day.
You got a sticker in your face
Information about the case,
So you know your potential.
Don't think you can extend.
Don't think you can extend, just comprehend.
But I don't wanna hear it.
No it's more than I accept.

'Cause, I don't care where I belong no more.
What we share or not I will ignore.
I will ignore.

We will shut you out.
We'll put you in doubt if you think that you're special.
We'll tell you who you are.
We'll tell you that you're close but no cigar.
But, I don't wanna hear it (I don't wanna hear it)
No it's more than I accept.

'Cause I don't care where I belong no more.
What we share or not I will ignore.
And I won't waste my time fitting in.
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin.

What they say is...
Go back where you came from.
They'll tell you that but, I don't wanna hear.
No, I don't wanna hear. No, I don't wanna hear it.
No, it's more than I accept.

'Cause I don't care where I belong no more.
What we share or not I will ignore.
And I won't waste my time fitting in.
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin.
No, it's not a sin.

Week 86: Submit

Hope this goes a bit better than the two last challenges.
My life is now set, no more elections and no more exams. ^^

Tiny Vessels
by Death Cab for Cutie

This is the moment that you know
That you told her that you loved her but you don't
You touched her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me

I spent two weeks in Silverlake, the California sun cascading down my face
There was a girl with light brown streaks,
And she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me
Yeah she was beautiful, but she didn't mean a thing to me

I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking as we moved together in the dark
And all the friends that I was telling all the playful misspellings and every bite I gave that left a mark
Then tiny vessels oozed into your neck and formed the bruises that you said you didn't want to fade
But they did and so did I that day

All I see are dark gray clouds in the distance moving closer with every hour
So when you'd ask, "Is something wrong?" (I'd think)
"You're damn right there is, but we can't talk about it now. No we can't talk about it now."

So one last touch and then you'll go and we'll pretend that it meant something so much more
But it was vile and it was cheap and you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.
Yeah, you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me.

Transatlanticism
by Death Cab for Cutie

The Atlantic was born today, and I'll tell you how
The clouds above opened up and let it out
I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
When the water filled every hole
And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
Making islands where no islands should go (oh no...)

Most people were overjoyed; they took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your
Door have been silenced for evermore
And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row;
It seems farther than ever before (oh no...)

I need you so much closer...

So come on; come on...
