Throw Aside your opinion on the song itself (if u can)....


[Round and Round from Graffitti Bridge inspired this post,


Can u tell me where we're goin' 2?
Can u tell me what it is we really want 2 find?
Is the truth really there or is it right under our hair?
4 all we know it's been there all the time

I say, nothin' comes from dreams but dreams
I say, sittin' idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2

But the world still goes around and round
Round and round
We go round and round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't found

Can u tell me when we gonna get 2 it?
I'm tired of foolin' around
I said, I want 2 do it
I learned my lesson young
I say, if U really want 2 have fun - go 4 it
and when u win, say "I knew it"

nothin' comes from dreams but dreams
I say, sittin' idle in our boat
While everyone else is down the stream
Nothin' comes from talkers but sound
We can talk all we want 2

But the world still goes around and round
Round and round
We go round and round
And what we're lookin' 4 still isn't foun





tho i wouldn't say that's my choice.]

And U weren't supposed to see my screw up in the quote

"Round and Round" -- good choice for lyrics

The Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Fightin' with lover's past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said - "It sound like a real man 2 me (U're kinda cute)
U're kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?" (Do U wanna, do U wanna?) ... Bath?

Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What U say?)
Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
She said - "Sound like a real man 2 me
Mind if I turn on the radio?"

"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)

Well

My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room
(Tell us what U did, what U did) Let me tell U what I did

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
(Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker)
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker

Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Oh

good word: avoid fighting and take a bubble bath with your pants on instead
"Well..."

i wanna see the girl behind the glasses

SirPsycho said:

I do not know Sir.But I know I also love that line and everything else about The Ballad of Dorothy Parker. It is one of my favorite songs ever .

"Silly no? When a rocketship explodes and everybody still wants to fly. Some say a man ain't truly happy until he truly dies. Why oh why?"

As far as I'm concerned, there's one song that has some very UNCOOL lyrics about my Boo.

The Exodus Has Begun is another cool one.
