Top 5 Songs! (Week Starting 25/05/09)

OK, I do have a good reason as to why I didn't post this on Friday, as I always should. I kind of thought it was Thursday and was thinking "what to post tomorrow..." all day. In fact, I only realized it was Saturday when I started posting and looked at the date in the corner of my screen. It's been a long, fantastic week (more about it all another time) and I lose track of days easily :p

So, here we are again. Another week, another 5 songs for you guys.

5. Emergency - Paramore

I found this during one of my paranoid moments with me sprawled across the computer desk with my earphones on. Sort of the first time the lyrics got through to me. It's a good song and it's come sixth a few times on my "top 5" list, but here it is, gloriously in fifth :p

Good Lyrics: "I've seen love die way too many times, when it deserves to be alive"

4. Keep On - Lightweight Holiday

This was one of the songs that hit me on my London day, it came on while i was standing at the Watford Junction platform, it kind of makes sense to me, so here it is!

Good Lyrics: "I'll take your word
You've fallen for him
(I guess that was selfish of me)
And oh by the way
What would you say
To you bein' mine someday"

"I'll drive for hours to your house
I know your inside thinking of me
For hours away"

"I wrote this song to communicate
When your locked in the trunk with your mouth taped shut
You're making it hard
to scream
You're making it hard
to leave"

3. Welcome To Oblivion - Madina Lake

My other London song. I was so tempted to put this song higher up, because I do love it, and you'll probably find it on this list again sometime. As always with Madina Lake, it's about lyrics, and the way they practically shape the tune around them. It's amazing.

Good Lyrics: "(Chorus)
Welcome to oblivion
Where panic starts to settle in
And I'm afraid of everything
Oh, I lost my head again
Welcome to oblivion
Where my whole life is caving in
And I can't stand who I am
Oh, I think I'm losing it
I lost my head again"

"Then I met you
You were standing all alone, because you felt it too
The world has broken you down
You and me are gonna make it through
Because now we know there's people like us"

2. The New Black - Every Time I Die

I listen to my music at night, and I think this song's played every night this week, and I like it. Interesting tune, pretty cool lyrics. It's been a contender for weeks.

Good lyrics: "Don't you know who I am? I'm the real thing with the low-key sensibilities"
"If everything I do is wrong, Then by God I do it right"
"If loving me is wrong, then God damn you do it right,"
"It turns us on to turn you down"

1. The Rumour - You Me At Six

I have a feeling that so far, You Me At Six are the only band to top my list twice, congrats :p I'm not really sure where it came from, but this week was the first time i really listened to the lyrics, and they made sense. It was the other song I heard during my paranoid moment, kinda sorted me out.

"Well I am the cancer running through your veins
I am the sweat dripping down the side of your face
I am the pain in the back of your legs, it makes you fall to you knees it makes you believe
And I am the headline, that's going to make front page news
I am that fashion that you're all into.

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.

I am that feeling, that you've done something wrong.
I am that friend , who knew all along.
We say we have our best friends yet we stab them in the back.
We try to show some love and , it's a skill that we lack.
I've had it with this crowd and I am done with this town.
I've had enough of these shows, its over with you now.

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you

I am the rumour on everyones lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x2)

Hold your hands in, into the air
Oh hold on

Hold your hands in, into the air
Hold your hands as, as if you care (x6)

Josh

Behind your back, they talk about you all the time
Behind your back, they spread some shit, spread some lies"

Poker

The poker tournament is finally over! It saw nine players start off with 1838 monopoly dollars fight it out through two and a half weeks of poker. Our players were: Michael, Nichola, Eleanor, James, Hitten, Nikesh, Tom, Nick and myself.

Day 1 was one of the most interesting days, it started with 8 dollars in the first pot (figure it out) and Tom stole it early. Then we had our first casualty of the tourney, Nick went all in against Nichola and lost it all before 2pm. 8 people left, Nichola in first.

We played for about a week until our second casualty, Tom was looking pretty low on cash and he looked like he'd catch eighth place, then James went all in against Michael with an incredibly stupid hand and crashed and burned. Such a shame, James was one of my favourites. Michael storms to the front of the pack.

I started off the tournament pretty badly, heading straight to the back, but while Michael was taking out James (and then Tom), I was earning a steady income from the other players, working my way into first place. About 2 weeks in, things kicked off, Eleanor took Hitten down to 1 dollar, and I finished him off the next day, it was then that Michael and myself clashed.

All it took was one hand. Michael accused me and James (our dealer) of cheating straight away, so we counted the cards and I dealt. All was looking bad for me until the last card, a pair. Turns out Michael had two pairs from the first three cards. But a heavenly voice said "did you burn the last card?" so Michael laid down a SIXTH card (this is him cheating now), then a seventh and an eighth and a ninth! He took the ninth card and cleared the fifth (losing my pair), sixth, seventh and eighth cards. Little did he know that although he had given himself a flush (pretty good) with an ace (the best flush possible), he had just given me a straight flush (second best hand in the game). He foolishly went all in and I laughed all the way to the bank.

I was now well ahead of the rest and with only four players and one school day left, things were heating up. Eleanor "forgot" her cards on the last day so my intentions were to take out Nikesh and play Nichola and Eleanor outside of school hours. However, as all of my plans go, this failed, and Nikesh finished off Nichola glamourously at break. Leaving just me and Nikesh to battle it out at lunch time, our final school battle. I walked away with the spoils, keeping me in first with an awesome 10,900, a good two thirds of the overall money. Just me and Eleanor left.

A few days into the holiday, a convenient invitation to a BBQ at her house arrived by text, asking me to bring my cash with me. And so we played our final game of the tournament at hers. She started off pretty well, but I stole it with a lucky hand (and having much more cash in the first place) and walked away with all of my monopoly money safely in my pocket.

So, thanks to everybody involved in the tournament and thank you for looking after the cash as well. It's been great. hope we can do it again next winter!

Why me?! (Does anyone even read this blog anymore?)

Lately, my life's been great, I've been seeing everyone, having great outings, just generally having fun. But the little things are starting to get to me, and there are a lot of them...even while i type, my wrist thingie's getting caught in the keyboard.

Saturday was great, but at the end of the day, I missed TWO buses, is this some kind of sign? And in the past week alone, I've been accused of being gay, having a split personality and having feelings for one of my friends (by THREE seperate people). Is it because I'm a bad person? If so many people think so many things about me then does that mean they think that I keep secrets? or that I'm a liar?

I know I used to be a bad person, but I don't know if I still am or not. Someone really needs to tell me because I'm getting really paranoid about it.

I've been asking "Why me?" a lot lately. I guess it's just because I don't understand. If people think i have a split personality, does that make me crazy? And if my friends think I'm crazy, why are they still there for me? Someone please answer this, because I just don't get it anymore.

Buses, Lottery Tickets and Tennis

I set my alarm for 9:30 today, especially so i could go see Michael, yet at 12:30, I was woken by a phone call...

It was Emma and Karolina, asking if i wanted to go to gym. I was still in bed, so I went with "no" :p After that, I got up and went looking for a bus. I missed it...

Is it just me or is it that when you're only with one person at a bus stop, the other person is disabled in some way? I learnt this today, don't ask. Anyway, I eventually got to Michael's and I resided there until 7pm, during this time we attempted to purchase a lottery ticket and seriously failed. Only one of us knew how to fill it in. At seven I received ANOTHER phone call...

Emma and Karolina again, wanting me to go play tennis with them, sounded pretty decent (no one's ever asked me before :P). After missing my second bus of the day, I somehow managed to get to my second destination of the day.

OK, I'm not sure who won tennis, we lost count. I guess we can call it a practise session :p We then sat around and relaxed and sang and stuff (don't ask). Normally i'd explain all of this and actually make it sound interesting, but it's 2am, and I just wanna get it posted.

In short, it was a stressy afternoon, and a really relaxing evening. Michael, If ever you read my blog, I'm sorry that i abandoned you, I can't really give an excuse, maybe I'm just a twat, but I AM sorry. I had fun today, it was totally worth it. Thanks to everyone mentioned (that's Michael, Emma and Karolina), it was a good Saturday thanks to you guys =D

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 18/05/09)

Ok, I think this is more of a tunes than lyrics week, so stick with me on this one. It's not been that much of a music week, I've sort of been trying to devise a rough idea of my top 100 songs of all time in my head, for a blog anniversary or something. However, this is what I've got for this week:

5. Crash Romeo - Actions Not Words

Ok, actions not words is NOT a perfect song, I admit that now. The song doesn't really catch me much. BUT, there is this one line that hits me really hard. It goes "what've I done? What have I done to me?" I guess it kinda illustrates this whole ex situation (she tried speaking to me again yesterday) and what I became while i was with her...

4. Alkaline Trio - This Could Be Love

Alkaline Trio practically introducted me to rock, with a song called time to waste. It was one of the first rock songs i ever got into and I still love it. This could be love has this sinister appeal to it that manages to attract me :p

Good lyrics: "Step one -- slit my throat
Step two -- play in my blood
Step three -- cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house"

3. The All American Rejects - The Last Song

Three years ago, I found a song called "my paper heart", I fell in love with it, and borrowed The all american rejects' first two albums. I still think their first is their best, and this is one of the songs on it, it's also one of my fave music videos :p Why do i like it? nice lyrics, steady beat, amazing instrumental. Sorted.

Good Lyrics: "You wanted the best
It wasn't me
Will you give it back?
Now I'll take the lead
When there's no more room
To make it grow
I'll see you again
You'll pretend you're naive
Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
How you end up, let me know"

"[Chorus]
As I go, remember
All the simple things you know
My mind is just a crutch
And I still hope
That you will miss me when I'm gone
This is the last song"

2. 3OH!3 - Colorado Sunshine

It's like some kind of techno, I think. What I know about it is that it has a really catchy beat :p and the chorus is catchy too, even though the lyrics to it aren't perfect. Stick with it if ever you listen to it because the intro isn't that great, it get's good after the first verse.

Good Lyrics: "And if i had something to say to you i'd whisper it softly,
kiss you on your rosey lips and never let you off me.
shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,
hold you through the night and watch that colorado sunrise."

"and as long as it's okay with you i think i'll stay right here.
i got no where to go cuz where to go is up to you, dear.
happy as a clam i see the glimmer in your eyes.
hold you through the night and watch that colorado sunrise."

1. Relient K - In love With The 80s

I love this song, the tune catches me so easily and the lyrics are delightfully punky :p it also mentions the prom a lot, so i guess it relates back to that. Apart from that, it's awesome =D

"So it was jeremy in 1983,
In his ocean pacific t,
Who got a bloody knee,
On his skateboard,
In the halfpipe,
In the backyard,
That tuesday night.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear,
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long,
And my favorite band will always be tears for fears,
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom

Cuttin class through the next four window,
He's drivin fast cause he never did a thing slow,
And I look up to my big bro cuz in the eighties
all the ladies grabbed his hand
and couldn't let go.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear,
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long,
And my favorite band will always be tears for fears,
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom, a pink tux to the prom.

Do, do, do-do, do, do, Pink tux to the prom,
Do, do, do-do, do, do, Pink tux to the prom

I am gonna to wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care, what can possibly go wrong?

When you're the president of the breakfast club,
And you're not hesitant to fall in love,
To fall in love, to throw it away,To fall in love with the eighties.

I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care, what can possibly go wrong?
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom,
Live without a care 'cause you threw it away to fall in love
With the eighties..

Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do
Do, do, do-do, do"

Hobbies

I think I've found my new hobby. Stay tuned for Adam's cooking corner :p

I love cooking, but I never thought of turning it into a hobby, made omelettes today (really adventurous i know), will start experimenting now i've got the hang of it. I'm like the evil scientist of the catering world (and creator of "bessie", the marmite and pickle sandwich!).

On the random side of things, i found this picture of my uncle from new year's day. Now you see where i get it from :p He's awesome, and I feel sorry for my Auntie (left) who has to put up with him all the time. Classic.

Getting the message

I'm beginning the think that it's time for another change. Poker WAS a good idea, but i think that the tournament we're having could be the end of it. I need another exit, my life is starting to crack again, with this whole getting the message business. I was lied to, I don't like being lied to, but i won't have to do much about it, it'll take care of itself.

I'm sure whoever reads my blog who doesn't know about this mysterious ex girlfriend of mine who i never really talk about should probably know now that she's back on the scene. She's this girl i started dating on September 26th 2007 (I'm good with dates), in the following 14 months there were many good times and bad times. But since she ditched me (January 3rd 2009) i slowly learnt of all of the lies i was told and how much i was used. She lied to me impulsively, she used me, and she cheated on me (twice). So there you go, the mystery is revealed, it took me four months to get over it and I guess i need to keep telling myself this because chances are she wants to get back with me again. So what's the plan? Eyes on someone else, perfect. Turns out my best chances are to not have relationships at all, because then i wont be lied to, wont be used, wont be hurt. Abstinence for everyone! Yayyy!

Why we should rename this blog "Adam's Depressing Thoughts"

Last night brought back ALL of my paranoia about losing people, not even madina lake can stop it now, I'm beginning to doubt my friendships with people more than ever, especially those that wont be forced to go to the same school as me next year.

I guess i can get away with posting this because barely anyone reads this anymore (no one's commented in like, three weeks), and well, last night was the first time i really doubted a few of my friendships, maybe i just overestimated people, maybe it's just me, maybe i'm just being paranoid again. I guess we'll have to find out.

I also learnt that i took a few friendships for granted too, and as much as i want to fix that, i'm probably going to lose them too.

I know i'm safe with everyone who's staying on next year, and i'm really grateful for that. But i'm scared of losing a few people, and it is only a few. What do i do?

Why Tonight?!

I'm posting now because I'm confused. I'm really annoyed how my life has these stupid twists. It's fucking unreal. So, story time kids:

I forgot about one element of prom, the waiters. They were year 10 students. Who's in year 10, that's right, my ex...

I was pissed off, i still am, but i decided to ignore it, fine as always.

After a well needed toilet trip, i was on my way back to the hall, when she called out to me...

She wanted to say sorry for everything she's done to me and whatever.

I'm confused, I'm annoyed and I don't understand why tonight, and why me...

So, what do I do??? I know that the one thing i'd never, ever do is get back with her, just in case people are afraid, I've moved on.

To be honest, I guess I'm kind of afraid. I just want things to stop happening.

Apart from that, prom was fantastic, I'll post more about it when i get the pictures =D

Top Five Songs! (Week Starting 11th/05/09)

Ok, another busy week, so not much posting :( However, I WILL catch up on everything on here, picnics, barbeques, and various other things. I promise. But for now, you'll just get this week's share of music:

5. Statistics - Madina Lake

Yes, their album still totally bedazzles me everytime i hear it, so I'll just post my favourite song on it at the moment. I like this song for the same reason i like most of madina lake's songs: awesome tune, awesome lyrics.

Good Lyrics:
"You're a wolf, you are dressed like a fox, got me tied up in knots over you"

"I've been wrong so many times,
Let's be realistic,
I'm only a statistic to you,
And it hurts so deep inside,
Maybe I'm sadistic,
I love what you've inflicted to me"

"I just caught you like a disease
It's terminal, and I'm going down
But you're a fate that's worse than death
And I've got to get out of this mess
You're a wolf, you are
You are"

4. Damn Regret - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

This is another of those songs that i like, but i don't know why, catchy tune and lyrics i guess :p

Good Lyrics: "The moon is shining bright,
The mood is feeling right.
I'll kiss you on your neck,
People'll stare but we won't care."

3.I Am For You - Waking Ashland

What've we got here then? A catchy intro, a decent pace, good tune, and a chorus which means something to me. Perfect.

Good Lyrics:
"Don't give up, you're not thinking
Don't give up, just keep seeking
And I, I am for you
And I, I will love you
And I, I am for you
And I, I will save you"

2.Slowdance On The Inside - Taking Back Sunday

We've missed the week that this song would've been number one but this week brought it all back. I've always imagined some kind of prom when i hear this song, and this IS prom week, so this is technically my official prom song :p Good Parts are the chorus and the chant at the end, and the tune is always good for me.

Good Lyrics: "[Chorus]
Well cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here
So reckless, oh (so reckless)
so thoughtless (so thoughtless),so jealous
I could care less
Cross my heart and hope to
I'm lyin' just to keep you here(so reckless)
Well I'll keep you here
(so thoughtless)
I...
(I could care less)"

"Tonight won't make a difference"x10


1. We'll Be Okay - Madina Lake

Yes, this chart finally makes sense! My favourite band have FINALLY stormed this list :p Okay, this song's been helping me at the moment because I've been really paranoid about losing lots and lots of people at the end of the year, and the chorus of this song makes me feel a lot better about it. I advise everyone with that worry has a listen.

"The night is long over,but we're all still wide awake.
Huddled together,
just oping this moment won't fade away.
The sunlight makes it's way up the field toward us again
marking the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

Carved out our love
and we all broke our hearts together.
These are the times that define who we are forever.
It's hard to leave
you're just memories that I'm thinking of
that mark the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

And sometimes it's hard when everything changes.
Sometimes it feels like the world is unfolding.
This is when the impossible becomes possible.

It's hard to leave,
you're just memories that I'm thinking of
that mark the end of this.

Because everyone's going their separate ways,
sometimes things just change.
But we'll never forget who we were that day,
so don't be afraid,
'cause we'll be okay.

So unafraid, we hadn't lived.
We'll be okay.
Without a care in the whole world.
We'll be okay."

In Other News: Prom Tonight!!!

Fashion

Ok, not posted for entire weekend so will give quick rundown, on sunday i had to drag Nichola to town on an emergency prom trip, as the gay but not quite gay best friend i decided it was my job to help her get her dress ASAP. Because i'm slightly camp, i was thinking of Eleanor's red and so instantly thought a creme would suit the occasion nicely, and so we got hunting. After about 30 minutes of combined changing time, we found something. Sorted. In other news, I'm quite hyper.

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 04/05/09)

Ok, first thing's first, I'm sorry I've not posted since tuesday, it's been a really busy week. Second thing's second, I know it's technically saturday, but i've not slept so i'm counting this as Friday.

This week's list was looking pretty good, until thursday, when i got my new Madina Lake album, and it's amazing!!! so, there are two lists, the old one and the new one, here's the new one:

1.Through The Pain - Madina Lake
2. Criminals - Madina Lake
3. Never Take Us Alive - Madina Lake
4. Welcome To Oblivion - Madina Lake
5. Let's Get Outta Here -Madina Lake

Ok, here's the old one for you guys :P

5. Becoming the bull - Atreyu

I'll keep this short, this is the only song i like these guys, i'm not really sure why and i don't have any lyrics, just listen to it :p

4.The missing frame - AFI

God knows how long this song was in my playlist, but i only discovered it this week, fantastic, isn't it? Again, i haven't really been paying attention to lyrics :p

3. Hey there Delilah - Plain white t's

Everyone knows this song, so i guess i don't need to write too much about it. It's the plain white t's second venture into my top five and i think it's perfectly worthy. However, i'm not that into the chorus, the verses on the other hand, are beautiful.

Cool lyrics: All of the verses, just listen to it :D

2. Hold on for your dearest life - Name Taken

This song was stuck in my head for at least four hours before i found it in my playlist, which makes it pretty good :p the only line i can remember on my own is "take what you want from me" (It's sung amazingly) which is how i found the song name, so that's the only lyric i'll put, listen to it!

1. There's a class for this -Cute is what we aim for

I know this week's not been as serious as before, but that's because i've been pretty damn busy with everything i wish i didn't have to do, this song stuck with me throughout (until i got the madina lake album). The lyrics are pretty cool and they sound good too, however, i don't really like the "party without the people" bit, not as good as the rest. Sorry guys, I promise it'll be more serious next week (but a list's a list!).

Lyrics: Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now
Whatcha got now

We keep ourselves a mystery
But we provide, provide the clues
So the rest is up to you
And don't forget to check the obvious
We are so serious
So I guess it comes down to how curious you can be

Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now
Whatcha got now

Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure love to stare
Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure, but they sure,Love to stare

And you check labels more than the FCC
And these calories are, are killing me
But this is a sticky situation
So keep your chest in the game
And drop your jaw and coax me

Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now, gotta gotta give it up
Whatcha got now
Whatcha got now

Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure love to stare
Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure, but they sure

This is a party without the people
This is a show without the sound
This is a dance without the steps
Now I gave you the clues so find what I found
This is a party without the people
This is a show without the sound
So I gave you the clues
So find what I found

Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure love to stare
Drama doesn't follow me, it rides on my back
I may be ugly, but they sure love to stare

School

• It's one week today until my first exam.
• My ICT coursework deadline is tomorrow.
• I'm currently using a computer with a PINK screen.
• I should be getting the new Madina Lake album this week.
• Right now I should still be asleep.
• I STILL haven't used a day for sleep (this is like, week 3).
• I can't believe I still have three lessons left of today.
• I have no lunch.
• I should have been going to see Madina Lake on friday.
• I have that terrible feeling that this is going to be another really stressful school week.

Friday

Friday was important to me. Why? Because it was unexpected.

Normal day, really stressy because it was my final deadline for my food technology coursework so i spent about three hours on it. I was lying around at about half past five and i decided to text Emma, because i was really bored :p After a few texts, I was asked to go to the cinema with her and Karolina, which i really didn't expect. About an hour later i had recovered from the shock, gathered some cash and was ready to go.

When i got there, it was two minutes before the film was supposedly gonna start, so i just got my tickets and went in, satisfied with the fact that the screen would be nearly empty because of the convenient opening of the Hannah Montana film :) Obviously there was about 20 minutes of shit trailers before anything happened, so i was really pissed off that i didn't get a coke and some revels, luckily Emma loved revels too, so I got one out of two :D

It was a great night, because I really didn't expect it all to happen, i had fun and there was a really good atmosphere between the three of us. It's been a long time since I've been in an atmosphere without tension, I found it really easy to just relax and have no fear of anything going wrong or anything bad being said, it just gave me that warm feeling I've missed for so long because of coursework or arguements or something.

The film? Oh, 17 Again, three reasons to watch it? OK:

1. Zac Effron doesn't sing! (and he actually does a pretty good job of acting)
2. Thomas Lennon (the german guy from balls of fury) plays his geeky best friend, and he rocks! 3. Surprisingly, it's actually a really good film, it has a good comedy factor, and actually has this really good fight scene, ok, so the ending's not great, but hey, i expected it to be crap, so i'm happy.

So yeah, it was an awesome night, thanks to Emma and Karolina for letting me come along, it was really cool =D

(Picnic Tomorrow!!!)

Top 5 Songs (Week Starting 27/04/09)

5. What it is to burn - Finch

This song grabbed me from the first time I heard it. I'm not sure why, so i'm just gonna advise you guys to check it out.

Good Lyrics:
"Like a bad star,
I'm falling faster down to her.
She's the only one
who knows what it is to burn."

4. I'd hate to be you when people find out what this song is about - Mayday parade

I think the chorus of this song is beautiful, even though the title isn't :p it catches me every time with the intro, because it sounds so lovelyyyyy...

Good lyrics:
"And we both go down together
We'd stay there forever
Just try to get up
And I'm sorry this wasn't easy
When I asked you
Believe me
And never let go"

3. The Pirates who don't do anything - Relient K

Punk Rock Piracey! What else can i say? that's it, it's a good jokey song to listen to and it's good punk too. It gets ridiculously stupid towards the end which just makes it even more fantastic to hear. However, the best part is the intro, which is a barbershop quartet style intro, but with "argh"s!

Good Lyrics:
"We are the pirates, who don't do anything
We just stay at home, and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you, we don't do anything"

"And I never hoist the mainstay
and I never swab the poop deck
and I never veer to starboard
'cuz I never sail at all,
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned a parrot
and I've never been to Boston in the fall."

"Well I've never plucked a rooster
and I'm not too got at ping pong
and I've never thrown my mashed pa-taters up against the wall,
and I've never kissed a chipmunk
and I've never gotten head lice
and I've never been to Boston in the fall."

"We don't know what he did, but we're down with Captain Kidd
We don't wake up late for lunch, but we all eat Captian Crunch
We don't smoke, we don't chew, but we watch Captain Kangaroo"

"And I've never licked a spark plug,
and I've never sniffed a stink bug,
and I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball,
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings...
and I've never been to Boston in the fall!"

2. True Love - Madina Lake

And about time! If you asked me my favourite band, Madina Lake is the first that comes to mind, their lyrics are so amazing and the way they're executed are spellbounding. I love them.
I like this song for two reasons, the first is that the intro catches me for some reason I don't know, the second is the chorus, which gets me every time!

Good Lyrics:
[Chorus]
"They always say true love is all you need,
But when true love is gone,
Can we go onnnn?
They say true love will never leave,
But my true love is gone,
And I can't go onnnn"

1. Saturday - Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy?! How could it possibly happen?! Because it's nothing like the crap they're spawning now, that's why. It's from their first album and it really means something to me, although, the verse after the first chorus is shit. :D

"I'm good to go
And I'm going nowhere fast
It could be worse
It could be taking you there with me
I'm good to go
But it looks like I'm still on my own

I'm good to go
For something golden
Though the motions I've been going through have failed
And I'm coasting on potential towards the wall
At a 100 miles an hour

When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door (yeah)
I can't sleep In the wake of Saturday (Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended

Pete and I attacked the laws of Astoria
with promise and precision and mess of youthful innocence
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived more than an hour (more than an hour)

When I say
Two more weeks
My foot is in the door (yeah)
I can't sleep In the wake of Saturday (Saturday)
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended

And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived
And I read about the afterlife
But I never really lived

Two more weeks
My foot is in the door
Me and Pete
In the wake of Saturday
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
When these open doors were open-ended
Saturday
Saturday"

Can't Sleep

Time for a quick lesson in adamology:

I can't sleep at all when i worry, it keeps me awake for hours. What am i worrying about? Losing a friend...

I sound like a pansy, but it will haunt me for weeks that i failed to keep one person around, i hate it.

I'd understand if I had actually done something wrong, but I haven't! I'm being stereotyped and it's horrible. I've done bad things to a lot of people, but not the people I've lost. I've done so many bad things to Emma, I don't really understand why she still talks to me, even if i never meant to cause trouble...And even when i DO do bad things, i never mean for them to be bad...

One of my biggest fears is losing a friend, and it really messes with my head, and i don't wanna lose this person at all, because it'll destroy me. I just can't stand the thought of losing ANOTHER person.

I'm scared.

I admit that i'm scared. I wont hide it behind some curtain that tells you "I'm not afraid to lose a friend," because i fucking am.

Everyone always tells me that i'm sensitive, am I too sensitive?

I can't sleep. Not tonight.
