stormsewerOkay! Let's answer the survey with Ben Folds lyrics!
1. Are you male or female?
the girls don't understand it
anything you say
and i don't understand it either
guess that makes me gay
(sports and wine- ben folds five)
2. Describe yourself:
all i know is i gotta be
where my heart says i oughta be
it often makes no sense, in fact
i never understand these things i feel
(don't change your plans- the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner)
3. How do you feel about your friends?
i know it seems that i don't care
but something in me does, i swear
i don't remember all last year
i left you awake to cry the tears
while i was dreaming in streams
flowing between the shores of joy and sadness
(narcolepsy- the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner)
4. How do they feel about you?
do you not hear me anymore?
i know it's not your thing to care
i know it's cool to be so bored
it sucks me in when you're aloof
it sucks me in, it sucks, it works
i guess it's cool to be alone
will you never rest?
fighting the battle of who could care less
every day you wake up late
sometimes i wish i was that way
(battle of who could care less- whatever and ever, amen)
5. How do you feel about yourself?
as i'm growing older i'm bored
i remember when misery thrilled me much more
when i can't relax
i'd like to go back
but that's gone
(video- ben folds five)
6. How do you feel about life?
everybody knows
it hurts to grow up
and everybody does
it's so weird to be back here
let me tell you what
the years go on and
we're still fighting it
(still fighting it- rocking the suburbs)
7. What would you rather be doing?
i thought about
the hours wasted watching TV, drinking beer
i thought about the things i thought about
until immobilized with fear
and all the great ideas i had
and how we just made fun
of those who had the guts to try and fail
(regrets- the unauthorized biography of reinhold messner)
8. Describe where you live:
this boring life that he leads
of buying and selling stocks
makes him feel
he's growing old and tired
there's no joy, no strife
just the passing time
in this boring life
he wants the lights, the jazz,
a piece of ass,
a toothless bitch to blow him for a vial of crack
he cooks his junk
in some Gatorade
and scores a bag of chronic on the east MLK
my friends are all salesmen,
my wife is a slut!
there must be something bigger
i can stick in my butt!
the IRS is auditing,
my life's in a rut!
and so he's
fired his heat
he's blown his blow
it's coming up on sunrise
and it's time to go
he smells like barf
his hair's a mess
he wipes the coke and lipstick
off his fat hairy chest
he stumbles home from a
lezzie show
he will be at work in an
hour or so
he crawls in bed
with his sleeping wife
just a night to break up
this boring life
(the secret life of morgan davis- rocking the suburbs EP)
9. Describe how you feel about the person you love:
she's dear to me
and so expensive
now i'm not talking about money
when money talks
i hate to listen
but lately it's been screaming in my ear
and when i've heard enough, i tell myself
that we've learnt our lesson, but i
don't wanna walk away from emaline
(emaline- naked baby photos)
10. Describe how you love:
next door there's an old man
who lived to his nineties
and one day passed away in his sleep
and his wife she stayed on
for a couple of days and passed away
i'm sorry i know that's a
strange way to tell you
that i know we belong
that i know that i am
the luckiest
(the luckiest- rocking the suburbs)
11. Share a few words of wisdom:
jane be jane
you're better that way
not when you're trying
imitating something
you think you saw
so jane be jane
and if sometimes that might
drive them away
let them stay there
you don't need them anyway
you're worried there might not be
anything at all inside
but that you're worried
should tell you that's not right
don't try to see yourself
the way that others do
it's no use
