New Draft - Songs about Imperfect Relationships (1 Viewer)

its' dark and stormy here, so I'm going to pick.... dark enough out.

I had to get the full translation online, but each of their song titles are pretty...um...self explanatory (eg: "binge eating binge drinking bulimia") and usually revolve around getting the raw deal from love... but still KAWAI! regardless.. you better still sit down and strap in for this one.

8- Cheating:

Otoboke Beaver- If you set the heart on fire, put it out and go home (Don't light my fire)

Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't light my fire
Don't light my fire
Don't GO Don't GO Don't GO GO GO
Don't light my fire
Or not GO TO HELL

If you set a heart on fire, put it out properly, go home, put it out, then go home.If you put a heart on fire, put it out, go home, put it out, then go home. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
GO TO HELL

Or Not Go Go Heaven Or Not Go Go Heaven

If you set a heart on fire, put it out properly, go home, put it out, then go home.If you put a heart on fire, put it out, go home, put it out, then go home. GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
GO TO HELL
If you set your heart on fire, Hot Hotter Hottest If you set your heart on fire, Sad Sadder Saddest Sadd Sadder Saddest Wipe me with your love butt!

Don't light my fire Don't light my fire

Fire on heart (fire on heart)
The heart was ignited, the heart was fired (the heart was fired)
I could set my heart on fire

Even though my heart was ignited, I had to clean up myself.

Alone

 
Round Eight

Wild Card/Leaving or Distance?

Bob Dylan - Boots Of Spanish Leather

But if I had the stars of the darkest night
And the diamonds from the deepest ocean
I'd forsake them all for your sweet kiss
For that's all I'm wishin' to be ownin'

...

Oh, I got a letter on a lonesome day
It was from her ship a-sailin'
Saying I don't know when I'll be comin' back again
It depends on how I'm a-feelin'

All of those fit. Wild card can be anything really, and leaving is obvious in the song. The lyrics do touch on her being distant in her emotions with her being vague about not knowing when she is coming back, and it depends on how she is feeling. The lyrics go on to say...
 

If a-you, my love, must think that-a-way
I’m sure your mind is a-roamin'
I’m sure your thoughts are not with me
But with the country to where you’re goin'

I haven't heard that song in a long time. It's nice to hear it again.

 
Round 8 - Disagreeable Behavior - Negative Girl, Steely Dan

The best picture i have left of my Mary is next to "disagreeable" in the dictionary. She would  :heart:  how much i associate this song with her.

She's lost - she's late
She's zooming on a couch somewhere
Or high - or home
I'm not supposed to call her there

I wait - I smoke
I stare into my coke
It's happening again
I tell myself that it's over and done, amen

Her skin - like milk
It's like she's never seen the sun
Some hearts to crunch
Is more like her idea of fun
I know - she's ill
I'm cruising for a spill
I'm hanging just the same
I need to be in the heat
Of her cold white flame

Another negative girl
At the edge of the frame
Deliciously toxic
The original classic thing - more of the same

She's in the zone
Crying on the phone
I need you here
I'm on the street again
Staggering out into the burn of the brain dead dawn
To arrive in time to find her gone

She's on the train
To somewhere up by Fordham Road
Her reptile brain
Locked down and ready in combat mode
Some cash - a key
This guy she has to see
A doctor friend uptown
And maybe she gets to me when she comes back down

Another negative girl
Spinning out of the frame
Exquisitely limpid
The original classic thing - more of the same

A goof - a buzz
If that is what it was
Then how do you explain
The way she looks when she's
Dragging me out to dance with her
In the summer rain

Another negative girl
At the edge of the frame
Exhausting and luscious
The original classic thing - more of the same

Nice. I suppose it could be any of those emotions for the category. It is rare that his lyrics are easily and neatly unpacked. Lots of novel-esque switching of places, persons, time, narrative voices. Glad it was something you enjoyed. Always nice to hear.

Cold Distant

Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind

...And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can't see...

...And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack

I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

Round 8: Distant/Cold

Waiting for the Rain to Fall - Chris Isaak

You and I don't love each other,
We don't talk to one another,
I don't think you love anyone in this world at all.
I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.


Tears may fall and clouds may gather,
I should go I think I'd rather,
Wait until there's no chance left at all.

I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.
I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.
Rain will fall and leave me crying,
But there's no clouds up in the sky,
But you don't care there's no denying,

'Cause there's no teardrops in your eyes.
You and I don't love each other,
We can only hurt each other,
I think there's no love left at all,

I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.
I'm just waiting for the rain to fall.
I'm just waiting for the rain to fall. [\spoiler]

The times that they've had have been such good times. She still loves him. But now it's time she thinks she had a life of her own. I guess it's just what she must do.

I have been when I can, but there is no reason why people can't add their own picks. It should be editable by all.

Here is the link.

 
Round 7  Leaving  -  What About Us  -  Pink

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

Hopefully there is no vandalism. In the sports draft thread we had someone intentionally destroy our spreadsheet when we were in like round 30

 
Rd. 8 - Leaving - Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine

It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

One of the most beautiful voices ever.

I bet you're wonderin' how I knew

'Bout your plans to make me blue
With some other guy you knew before
Between the two of us guys
You know I loved you more
It took me by surprise I must say
When I found out yesterday
Don't you know that I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh I heard it through the grapevine
Oh I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah.
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine baby

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I can't hold inside
Losin' you would end my life you see
'Cause you mean that much to me
You could have told me yourself
That you loved someone else
Instead I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine
Oh, I heard it through the grapevine
And I'm just about to lose my mind

Honey, honey yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby

People say believe half of what you see
Some and none of what you hear
But I can't help but be confused
If it's true please tell me dear
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?

Don't you know I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah
I heard it through the grapevine
I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah

Honey, honey, yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah yeah
I heard it through the grapevine,
Not much longer would you be mine, baby yeah yeah
