Waltzing Mathilda in its entirety. I like the version from The Dubliners the best.

That's an excellent choice. I also feel the same way about 'you are my sunshine'. Johnny Cash is the best version I've heard so far.

[Sponger.]

And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention to the distance that you're running
to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.

"My girl's a f**kup, just like me/
We go together like cocaine and whiskey."

[C.R.E.A.M.]

"What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?"

Wow, even just typing that gave me the chills and I was stumbling on my typing a lot. Damn, there's so much emotion in those lines. You really feel it.

And the whole of 'The Insight And The Catharthis, by Dimmu Borgir.

" Passenger on confessional course
Unlock with the key you behold within
Repair the shadow of your mind
and come awake

"Oh, dreadful angel of mine
Enrich me with the vastness of being
Rigid father, teach me how to comprehend
I'll commit myself to understand
To be faithful and the instrument
So that the ones with blindfold can see what i have seen
That there is nothing inbetween
For I am the accomplice..."

Aghast and tender, indulged in sin
Embraced by loneliness, legions who grin
I blunder into the realms of slumber
I collide with the obscure
and see the last fraction of light go by

Plundering the sanity from the insane
and providing appearances in black
Carefully swept in decadent spheres
But faces in this world always remain darkened

In circles of dominance, emotional deeps unite
Fiction and transcendence woven together
In the essence of purity lies wisdom
Join the forces, the spiritual black dimensions

What more do you need of proof
Human hands conforming cloven hoofs
For I know the secrets and lies behind all truths
Knowlege is power and the power is mine
It's all mine

So let the children come to me
and share the limitless ways to infinity
Escape death and disease
And behold youth and vitality"

[Phoenix1010]

"The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again
And I feel this comin over like a storm again now
And I feel this comin over like a storm again now

I am too
Connected to you to
Slip away
To fade away
And days away I
Still feel you
Touching me
Changing me
And considerately killing me

Without the skin here
Beneath the storm
Under these tears now
The walls came down

And as the snake is drowned
And as I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I could have cried then
I should have cried then

And as the walls come down
And as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
And will die
It's all right

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind"

[PokerBob]

the Tim version of Can't Hardly Wait by the Replacements. possibly the greatest rock song ever.

[Phoenix1010]

"I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand

The angry boy a bit too insane
Icing over a secret pain
You know you dont belong
You're the first to fight
You're way too loud
You're the flash of light on a burial shroud
I know something's wrong
Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand
I would understand

Well he's on the table and he's gone to code
And I do not think anyone knows
What they're doing here
And your friends have left you
You've been dismissed
I never thought it would come to this
And I, I want you to know
Everyone's got to face down the demons
Maybe today
You could put the past away

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again I would understand

I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand
I would understand"

If you're trying to say, "she feels alone, inconsequential, un-noticed," you could come up with a crap cliche, or you could weave this description:

"She steps out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white"

Awesome. Adam Durtiz, Around Here.

I just saw RENT for the 3rd time, and i have the soundtrack on my ipod. funny ive seen it three times, since its the only major musical/production ive ever seen. theres plenty of lines that sung live give me the goosebumps.

"one Song Glory"- He's a musician that just wants to write one song before AIDS gets the better of him.

"Find, the one song/
Before the virus takes hold, glory/
Like a sunset/
One song/
To redeem this empty life..."

another line that gets me

"Look - I Find Some Of What You Teach Suspect/
Because I'm Used To Relying On Intellect/
But I Try To Open Up To What I Don't Know/

Because Reason Says I Should Have Died/
Three Years Ago.."

Don't have AIDS, dont even know anyone with it. But for some reason RENT is amazing and I usually have goosebumps from start to finish.

EDIT: No need for poz jokes...we get it. ha ha.
