What songs inspire you when you're down? When I'm not quite feeling myself...there are many songs that I can listen to that lift my spirits and make me feel better...
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wig in a Box 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 | |

David Bowie - Rock 'n Roll Suicide
Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth You pull on your finger, then another finger, then your cigarette The wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, then you forget Ohhh, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide You're too old to lose it, too young to choose it And the clocks waits so patiently on your song You walk past a cafe but you don't eat when you've lived too long Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suciide Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road But the day breaks instead so you hurry home Don't let the sun blast your shadow Don't let the milk float ride your mind They're so natural - religiously unkind Oh no love! you're not alone You're watching yourself but you're too unfair You got your head all tangled up but if I could only make you care Oh no love! you're not alone No matter what or who you've been No matter when or where you've seen All the knives seem to lacerate your brain I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain You're not alone Just turn on with me and you're not alone Let's turn on with me and you're not alone Let's turn on and be not alone Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful Gimme your hands cause you're wonderful Oh gimme your hands. | |

"I Can't Forget" - Leonard Cohen
I stumbled out of bed I got ready for the struggle I smoked a cigarette And I tightened up my gut I said this can't be me Must be my double And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what I'm burning up the road I'm heading down to Phoenix I got this old address Of someone that I knew It was high and fine and free Ah, you should have seen us And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember who I'll be there today With a big bouquet of cactus I got this rig that runs on memories And I promise, cross my heart, They'll never catch us But if they do, just tell them it was me Yeah I loved you all my life And that's how I want to end it The summer's almost gone The winter's tuning up Yeah, the summer's gone But a lot goes on forever And I can't forget, I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. |

I was listening to this on the way to work:
Strange But True Okay, let me say this quick - before I start 2 cry U’re the only one that I gave it 2, the one I fantasised 4 And time away from U has taught me What I should have known That this hole I’m trying 2 fill with another - yeah, it’s grown And I got your package But when I tried 2 write back I bailed See, trying 2 express the future, sometimes language fails And over this time I’ve learned My life force is increased by knowing U Every door that closes, another one opens Strange but true Strange but true No regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggas chasing Dreams of sovereignty, they tried to come between U and me A curse therein set forces a chain of events That only freed me when I remembered Where I was and who I am The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land All understand and all standunder this affirmation now By the power invested in me by God... All negativity bows Strange but true, let’s see what U can do U may have lost me, but I found myself The ones who love me without condition - this is my wealth And with these words I will win Repeat them over and over again All understand and all standunder this affirmation now By the power invested in me by God... All negativity bows All negativity bows All negativity bows | |

Sinéad O'Connor
I was born in Dublin town Where there was not too much going on down For girls whose only hope Was not to find a man who could piss in a pot So early I heard my first guitar And I knew I wanted to be a big star And I told my poor worried father Said I ain't gonna go to school no more Cuz see I wanna look cool and I wanna look good With my hair slicked back and my black leather boots Wanna stand up tall with my boobs upright And feel real hot when the makeup's nice I get sexy underneath the lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel good make you feel all right I'm going away to London I got myself a big fat plan Gonna be a singer in a rock 'n' roll band And I'm gonna change everything I can Sorry to be disappointing Wasn't born for no marrying Wanna make my own living singing Strong independent Pagan woman singing And I feel real cool and I feel real good Got my hair shaved off and my black thigh boots I stand up tall with my pride upright And I feel real hot when the makeup's nice I get sexy underneath them lights Like I wanna fuck every man in sight Baby come home with me tonight Make you feel good make you feel all right I'm glad I came here to London I've myself some big fat fun And I have even made some mon' I got the most angelic son My baby daughter is golden And I do what I like for fun And I'm happy in my prime Daddy I'm fine I'm fine Daddy I'm fine Daddy I'm fine I'm fine Daddy I love you |

Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Wig in a Box I have been trying to convince a friend he should get this soundtrack! I love that song. I even used a Hedwig profile here for a short time. A good friend of mine hipped me to the movie and that made me get the DVD and OST. Amazing show. Amazing movie. And just think about Hedwig shaking her frilly skirt in Madonna's face.....<-----see the DVD documentary to understand THAT lil memory... | |

Bu tlately it has been Jordan Knight's A Different Party.
And I am not even afraid to admit it. The lyrics are nothing special, just a lewd Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis itty-bitty that makes me wanna shake me toosh. It sounds like a Prince song. It's an amazingly overlooked track. Prejudice, anyone? | |

Well I've been out of the woods for six days and nights now
Well I'm a little hot wired, but I'm feeling alright I got some money in my pocket and a long lean ride I got to make it down to Galveston by Saturday night Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling O.K. Got a little lost along the way But I'm just around the corner to the light of day Well, I'm just around the corner to the light of day Been driving five hundred miles, got five hundred to go, yeah I got rock and roll music on the radio I got a brother on a rig just off the gulf coast He says the girls down there, well they're really the most, man Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling O.K. I got a little lost along the way But I'm just around the corner to the light of day Just around the corner to the light of day I'm just around the corner to the light of day I'm just around the corner to the light of day Well I got thrown out of work on the Kokomo Don't ask me what I'm doing, I don't know I hope he wasn't joking when he wrote me that letter "Things can't get any worse, they got to get better" Well I'm a little down under, but I'm feeling O.K. I got a little lost along the way But I'm just around the corner to the light of day Just around the corner to the light of day Just around the corner to the light of day Just around the corner to the light of day - Bruce Springsteen ("Light of Day") | |

You and Homer Simpson! 
it's true. i love the simpsons and was so pleased when they started using that tune for comic relief. aside from it being an outrageously happy and uplifting tune, i love the way that it constantly promises to go to another level and shift gear - and never does. perfect. | |

For you I will explain. In the doc John Cameron Mitchell tells about how back in the theatre days Hedwig would run into the audience and single one person out. She would climb on the armrest and wave her frilly skirt into the face of the person sitting there.... JCM then continues it was a sport to put famous people in this certain seat, then calls out a few names.... I would have loved to see the play. | |
