Since Mara insists on still liking Coldplay, I think I should bring up this actual quote by the lead singer.

"It was cool for us that Jack Nicholson came, and I really wanted to crack this joke. I'll tell you the joke. It's terrible, but he gave me a chance to introduce the band and I said, 'This is Guy, this is Will, I'm Chris, and heeeeeeere's Jonny!' And I thought that was very funny. No one else got it, really."

Right.

Anyway.

"Love, Reign O'er Me" by Pete Townshend

Only love, can make it rain

The way the beach is kissed by the sea

Only love can make it rain

Like the sweat of lovers

Laying in the fields

Love, reign o'er me

Love, reign o'er me, reign o'er me.

Only love can bring the rain

That makes you yearn to the sky

Only love can bring the rain

That falls like tears from on high

Love, love reign o'er me, reign o'er me

Love, reign o'er me, reign o'er me

On the dry and dusty road

The nights we spent apart alone

I need to get back home

To cool, cool rain

I can't sleep and lay and I think

The nights are hot and black as ink

Oh God, I need a drink

Of cool, cool rain.

Love, love, love reign o'er me, reign o'er me

Love reign o'er me

Love, love, love reign o'er me, reign on me

Reign on me

Love...

*Walks on stage*

Excuse me. Please give me your attention everyone. I would like to sing a old favorite for my new friends here at Galactic Basic. I'm sure some of you will continue the song if I pass out from that rather questionable drink I had at the cantina. Also anyone is welcome to sing with me.

She's just a small town girl, living in a lonely world

She took the midnight train going anywhere...

Chris Martin is just silly, though.

I mean, his daughter's name is Apple. :p

But the music is.... awesome.

It's not as bad a name as people make it out to be.

But the music is...bland, and if you ask me, (I know, you're not :p) pretty s***ty.

Probably one of the best rap songs I've ever heard.

"Sly Fox" by Nas

"So we look at what's going on -- this as an EXTREME aggression, um

I'm also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!

It's-it's on the islands, it's on the continent, it's here: it's everywhere!

And this is, if you will, a WAR -- An all out assault by..."

The sly fox

Cyclops

We locked

In the idiot box

The video slots

Broadcast

The Waco Davidian plots

They own YouTube, Myspace

When this ignorant s*** gon' stop?

They monopolizing news

Your views

And the channel you choose

Propaganda

Visual cancer

The eye

In the sky

Number five

On the dial

secret agenda

Frequency antenna

Doctor mind bender

Remote control

Soul Controller

Your brain holder

Slave culture

Game's over

What's a Fox characteristic?

Slick s***

Sensin'

Misinformation

Pimp the station

Over stimulation

Reception

Deception

Comcast digital Satan

The Fox has a bushy tail

And Bush tells

Lies and Foxtrots

So I don't know what's real

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up

O' Reilly

Oh really?

No rally needed

I'll tie you up

Network for child predators, settin' 'em up

Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts

Ya'll exploit rap culture, then ya'll flip on us

And you own the post, and ya'll s*** on us

What is they net worth?

They gon' try to censor my next verse?

Throw 'em off the roof neck first

While I'm clicking my cursor

Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal

It gets worse while I'm clicking my mouse

While they kickin' my house

They figured us out

Why a nigga go south

It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!

I watch CBS

And I See B.S.!

Tryin' to track us down with GPS

But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill

But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?

What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)

The backdoor deals

On oil fields

How's Nas the most violent person?

Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you

Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)

I use Viacom

As my firearm

And let the lyrics split you

Who do you rely upon?

They shoot shells at Leviathan

I'm dealing with the higher form

F**k if you care how I write a poem?

Only Fox that I love was the red one

Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!

Red rum

Political bedlam

Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum

Murdoch on Fox

Not 18 with Barracas

And he hate Barack cause

He march with the marchers

"I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.

Not the biased truth

Not the liar's truth

But the highest truth

I will not be deceived

nor will I believe

In the Propaganda

I will not fall for the Okey-Doke

I am tuned-in"

Just cause I'm in this kind of mood:

"Creep" by Radiohead

When you were here before,

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel,

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

I wish I was special

You're so very special

But I'm a creep,

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,

I wanna have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

when I'm not around

You're so very special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out the door

She's running out

She run run run run...

run...

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so very special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here...

Into the Night

Santana featuring Chad Kroger

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7amYNaPTRI

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,

It was love from above, that could save me from hell.

She had fire in her soul; it was easy to see

How the devil himself could be pulled out of me.

There were drums in the air as she started to dance.

Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands,

And we sang?

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And the voices rang like the angels sing,

We?re singing?

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And we danced on into the night,

Ay oh ay oh,

Ay oh ay oh,

And we danced on into the night.

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,

You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces.

We were spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes.

No room left to move in between you and I.

We forgot where we were, and we lost track of time,

And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night.

And we sang?

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And the voices rang like the angels sing,

We?re singing?

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And we danced on into the night,

Ay oh ay oh,

Ay oh ay oh,

And we danced on into the night,

Ay oh ay oh,

Ay oh ay oh,

And we danced on into the night,

[santana solo]

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,

Reba McEntire & LeAnn Rimes

"When You Love Someone Like That"

LeAnn

I think it was me it must have been me

I guess I did something wrong

I tried too hard

Wanted too much

I guess that's why it's gone

I lost my pride, I falled and cried

I felt like a little kid

What's wrong with me?

Still can't believe

I did the things I did

Bridge1

I couldn't change him

He was gonna break my heart

I saw it comin

Yeah I knew it from the start

Chorus

When you love(when you love)

When you love someone like that,when you give what you can't take back

When you love(when you love)

With all your heart and soul, it's so hard to let it go

When you love someone like that

(when you love someone like that)

Verse2

Reba

Girl it aint right, it just aint right

Don't tell yourself that it was you

You followed your heart,you gave it your best

There's nothin more you can do

Guys like him are like the wind

And you know it's just too bad

They blow in and out again and never know what they had

Bridge2

Girl I can tell ya

He'll do the same to someone else it aint about you

So don't be so hard on yourself

*chorus*

Reba: oh we've all loved and lost

It's happened to us all

LeAnn: I hear what you're sayin but I feel like the only one

Reba: You might feel right but you're not

You're alright (I'm alright)You're ok(I'm ok)

You're gonna make it anyway(both)

*chorus*

"Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" by Brand New

Whatever poison's in this bottle

will leave me broken, sore and stiff

But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at,

he owes me one last wish

So here's a present to let you know I still exist

I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips

But I got a plan (I got a plan)

To drink for forty days and forty nights

A sip for every second-hand tick

And every time you fed the line,

?you mean so much to me?

I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say

And even if her plane crashes tonight

she'll find some way to disappoint me,

by not burning in the wreckage,

or drowning at the bottom of the sea

Jess, I still taste you, and thus reserve my right to hate you

And all this empty space that you create

does nothing for my flawless sense of style

It's 8:45 (it's 8:45), the weather is getting better by the hour

(rains all the time) I hope it rains there all the time

And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied

I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say,

who would do anything you say

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Never gonna get it right, you're never gonna get it

Okay no more songs about you. After this one I am done. You're gone.

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say

Tell all the English boys you meet

about the American boy back in the states

The American boy you used to date

who would do anything you say

Metallica - "The Unforgiven III"

How could he know this new dawn?s light

Would change his life forever?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course

By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain

With his careless dreaming?

Been afraid, always afraid

Of the things he?s feeling

He could just be gone

He would just sail on

He would just sail on

How can I be lost?

If I?ve got nowhere to go?

Searched for seas of gold

How come it?s got so cold?

How can I be lost?

In remembrance I relive

And how can I blame you

When it?s me I can?t forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog

It?s thick and suffocating

This seeking life outside its hell

Inside intoxicating

He?s run aground like his life

Water?s much too shallow

Slipping fast down with the ship

Fading in the shadows now

A castaway

Blame all gone away

Blame gone away

How can I be lost

If I?ve got nowhere to go?

Searched for seas of gold

How come it?s got so cold?

How can I be lost?

In remembrance I relive

And how can I blame you

When it?s me I can?t forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not

Forgive me, forgive me not

Forgive me, forgive me not

Forgive me, forgive me

Why can?t I forgive me?

Set sail to sea but pulled off course

By the light of golden treasure

How could he know this new dawn?s light

Would change his life forever

How can I be lost

If I?ve got nowhere to go?

Searched for seas of gold

How come it?s got so cold?

How can I be lost?

In remembrance I relive

So how can I blame you

When it?s me I can?t forgive?

"Seventy Times 7" by Brand New

Back in school they never taught us

what we needed to know

like how to deal with despair

or someone breakin' your heart

For twelve years I've held it all together,

but a night like this is beggin' to pull me apart

I played it quiet, left you deep in conversation

I felt un-cool and hung out around the kitchen

I remember I kept thinking

that I know you never would

And now I know I want to kill you

like only a best friend could

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

As if it happening wasn't enough

I got to go and write a song

just to remind myself how bad it sucked

Ignore the sun, covers over my head

Wrote a message on my pillow that says,

"Jesse, stay asleep in bed"

Don't apologize (I hope you choke and die)

Search yourself for something with which to hang yourself

They say you need to pray

if you want to go to heaven

But they don't tell you what to say

when your whole life has gone to Hell

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

Everyone's caught on to...

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

So is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

'cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish

I've seen more guts in eleven-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home

I hope there's ice on all the roads

and you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt

and again when your head goes through the windshield

Is that what you call tact?

You're as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

So let's end this call and end this conversation

And is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

'Cause you left the frays from the ties you severed

when you say, "best friends means friends forever"

Is that what you call a getaway?

Tell me what you got away with

'cause I've seen more spine on jellyfish

I've seen more guts on eleven-year-old kids

Have another drink and drive yourself home

I hope there's ice on all the roads

and you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt,

and again your head goes through the windshield

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

(I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to everything you do

(and I can't let you let me down again)

Everyone's caught on to...

Ahhhh!!!

"Jumpers" by Sleater-Kinney

I spend the afternoon in cars

I sit in traffic jams for hours

Don?t push me, I am not OK

The sky is blue most every day

The lemons grow like tumors they

Are tiny suns infused with sour

Lonely as a cloud

In the Golden State

?The coldest winter that I ever saw

Was the summer that I spent??

The only substance is the fog

And it hides all that has gone wrong

Can?t see a thing inside the maze

There is a bridge adored and famed

The Golden spine of engineering

Whose back is heavy with my weight

Lonely as a cloud

In the Golden State

?The coldest winter that I ever saw

Was the summer that I spent??

Be still this old heart

Be still this old skin

Drink your last drink

Sin your last sin

Sing your last song

About the beginning

Sing it out loud

So the people can hear

Let?s go!

Be still this sad day

Be still this sad year

Hope your last hope

Fear you last fear

Your not the only one

Your not the only one

Your not the only one

Your not the only one

Let?s go!

My falling shape will draw a line

Between the blue of sea and sky

I?m not a bird, I?m not a plane

I took a taxi to the gate

I will not go to school again

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest wait

Four seconds was the longest...

One of the most delightfully sleazy songs of all time:

"Touch Me I'm Sick" by Mudhoney

Ooh.

Come on baby now come with me,

If you don't come,

If you don't come,

If you don't come,

You'll die alone,

WHOOOA!

Ooh.

I'm diseased,

I don't mind,

I'll make you love me,

Til the day you die,

C'mon!

Touch me I'm sick

Come on baby,

Now come with me,

If you don't come,

If you don't come,

If you don't come,

You'll die alooone

One of my (many) favorites from the new album:

Get On Your Boots - U2

The future needs a big kiss

Winds blows with a twist

Never seen a moon like this

Can you see it too?

Night is falling everywhere

Rockets at the fun fair

Satan loves a bomb scare

But won't scare you

Hey! Sexy boots

Get on your boots, yeah

You free me from the dark dream

Candy floss ice cream

All our kids are screaming

But the ghosts aren't real

Here's where we gotta be

Love and community

Laughter is eternity

If joy is real

You don't know how beautiful

You don't know how beautiful you are

(You don't know!)

No, you don't know how beautiful

(And you don't get it, do you?)

You don't know how beautiful you are

(You don't know how beautiful you)

That's someone's stuff they're blowing up

But we're into growing up

Women of the future

Hold the big revelations

I got a submarine

You got gasoline

I don't wanna talk about

Wars between nations

Not right now

Sexy boots

Get on your boots, yeah

Not right now

Bossy boots

You don't know how beautiful

You don't know how beautiful you are

(You don't know!)

No, you don't know how beautiful

(And you don't get it, do you?)

You don't know how beautiful you are

(You don't know how beautiful you are)

Sexy boots

I don't wanna talk about the wars between the nations

Sexy boots, yeah

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound, sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Let me in the sound now

God, I'm going down

I don't wanna drown now

Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound

Creep - Radiohead

When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

And I wish I was special

You're so very special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts

I want to have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

You're so very special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

She's running out the door

She's running out

She's run, run, run, running out

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so very special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here

Haha, I totally put "Creep" by Radiohead on here twice in the same page. Says a lot about my self esteem. :p

In that vein:

"Bliss" by Muse

Everything about you is how i wanna be

Your freedom comes naturally

Everything about you resonates happiness

Now i won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

Everything you pains my envying

Your soul can't hate anything

everything about you is so easy to love

They're watching you from above

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

I want the peace and joy in your mind

Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness

Now i won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

I want the peace and joy in your mind

On the flip side of that coin:

"Dance Song '97" by Sleater-Kinney

Well you know there ain't no doubt

When the feeling finds you out

You know you can try to run

I tell you it still will come

When you feel your body shake

Trip and fall you can't walk straight

Baby then you know it's done

You can feel your heart is stung

You're the one that i saw

You're the one that i want

Well you can try to keep it down

Try not to let the words come out

But i tell you it's no use

In your eyes they see right through

If you're going way too hard

If you're feeling way too much

But inside you can't stop

Desire she eats you up

You're the one that i saw

You're the one that i want

You're the one that i saw

You're the one that i want

You're the one that i saw

You're the one that i want

You're the one that i saw

You're the one that i want

Wow, I haven't listened to them in... s***, probably 2 or 3 years.

This, however, I've been listening to a lot lately:

Backstreets by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends

Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in

Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth

Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat

And hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets

With a love so hard and filled with defeat

Running for our lives at night on them backstreets

Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing

Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings

Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring

In the deep heart of the night to set us loose from everything

to go running on the backstreets, running on the backstreets

We swore we'd live forever on the backstreets we take it together

Endless juke joints and Valentino drag where dancers scraped the tears

Up off the street dressed down in rags running into the darkness

Some hurt bad some really dying at night sometimes it seemed

You could hear the whole damn city crying blame it on the lies that killed us

Blame it on the truth that ran us down you can blame it all on me Terry

It don't matter to me now when the breakdown hit at midnight

There was nothing left to say but I hated him and I hated you when you went away

Laying here in the dark you're like an angel on my chest

Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness

Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see

Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be

And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest

Stranded in the park and forced to confess

To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets
