To brighten up a miserable Friday morning lets play something not sure if it has been done before:
If there was a song that could describe you what song would that be
I am "Poison" by Alice Cooper
Your cruel device Your blood, like ice One look could kill My pain, your thrill I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison, I don't want to break these chains Your mouth, so hot Your web, I'm caught Your skin, so wet Black lace on sweat I hear you calling and it's needles and pins (And pins) I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name Don't want to touch you but You're under my skin (Deep in) I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains Poison One look could kill My pain, your thrill I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison You're poison running through my veins You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains Poison I want to love you but I better not touch (Don't touch) I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop I want to kiss you but I want it too much (Too much) I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison, yeah I don't want to break these chains Poison, oh no Runnin' deep inside my veins, Burnin' deep inside my veins It's poison I dont't wanna break these chains Poison
Over to the JB and I know you will have fun!

(This is also set up for someone close to my heart )
There are several that come to mind, but one which matches me to some extent is "I am Woman" (the Helen Reddy version)
I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before And I've been down there on the floor No one's ever gonna keep me down again
CHORUS Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to, I can do anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
CHORUS
I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe As I spread my lovin' arms across the land But I'm still an embryo With a long long way to go Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise But it's wisdom born of pain Yes, I've paid the price But look how much I gained If I have to I can face anything I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible) I am woman Oh, I am woman I am invincible I am strong
FADE I am woman I am invincible I am strong I am woman
Well, it's not hard to see Anyone who looks at me Knows I am just a rolling stone Never landing anyplace to call my own To call my own
Well, it seems like so long ago But it really ain't you know I started out a crazy kid Miracle I made it through the things I did The things I did
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow Til then, I travel alone And I make my bed with the stars above my head And dream of a place called home
I had a chance to settle down Get a job and live in town Work in some old factory I never liked the foreman standing over me Over me
Oh Id rather walk a winding road Rather know the things I know See the world with my own eyes No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes No goodbyes
Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow Til then, I travel alone And I make my bed with the stars above my head And I dream of a place called home
Pete Atkin - Stranger in Town (lyrics by Clive James)
I never will remember how that stranger came to town He walked in without a swagger, got a job and settled down The place would have seemed the same without him And now I can't recall a thing about him
He didn't wear a poncho or a gun with a filed sight And he wasn't passing through like a freight-train in the night He rarely wore a stetson with a shadowy big brim And I still can't be sure if he was him
From Kansas to Wyoming, from Contention to Cheyenne His name meant less than nothing and it didn't scare a man So folks didn't worship him or fear him And I can't remember ever going near him
He didn't tote a shotgun with the barrels both sawn off So people didn't hit the deck or dive behind a trough He walked the street in silence ignored on every side And it's doubtful if he could even ride
I never could remember how that stranger met his death He was absolutely senile, and with his dying breath He forgot to ask his womenfolk to kiss him And afterwards they didn't even miss him
I've sung some songs that were lame I've slept with girls on the game. I've got my Catholic shame Lord I'm in purgatory Basically it's all come-on talk for me
I wasn't me when we met You haven't lost my respect I'm here to serve and protect What shape of insanity Keeps leading you back to me?
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
Don't wanna piss on your parade I'm here to make money and get laid Yeah I'm a star but I'll fade If you ain't stickin your knives in me You will be eventually
To all you Sharons and Michelles With all your tales to sell Save your meat money well I'm glad that spending a night with me Guaranteed you celebrity.
And I can't talk in a crowd When I'm alone I'm too loud You've done your daddy's proud Thank you for keeping me company You've all been so nice to me
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
Oh Lord I feel Nothing I know much smarter men Never got this far
I got too many regrets I've smoked too many cigarrettes I've had more blondes than brunettes I'm not expecting your symphathy But it's all been too much for me
So put your hands across the water Oh my Sharon Monsoon Come soon
He was a hard-headed man He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty She held him up, and he held her for ransom in the heart of the cold, cold city He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude They had one thing in common, they were good in bed She'd say, 'Faster, faster. The lights are turnin' red." Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind, mm Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and hot for the game The coming attraction, the drop of a name They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
Out every evening, until it was light He was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it
Life in the fast lane Surely make you lose your mind Life in the fast lane, everything all the time Life in the fast lane, uh huh Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine ring. We've been up and down this highway; haven't seen a goddam thing." He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash." " The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash." They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off And it was life in the fast lane Life in the fast lane
..... not really - but it makes me sound really cool....
My daddy left home when I was three, And he didn't leave much to Ma and me... Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid, But the meanest thing that he ever did Was before he left, he went and named me 'Sue'.
Well, he must o' thought that is was quite a joke, And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk. It seems I had to fight my whole life through. Some gal would giggle and I'd get red, And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head. I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named 'Sue'.
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean, My fist got hard and my wits got keen. I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame. But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars, And kill that man that give me that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town, and my throat was dry. I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew. At an old saloon on a street of mud, There at a table, dealing stud, Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me 'Sue'.
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had, And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye. He was big and bent and gray and old, And I looked at him and my blood ran cold, And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do! Now you gonna die!"
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes, And he went down, but, to my surprise, He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear. But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell ya, I've fought tougher men, But I really can't remember when, He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile. I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss, He went for his gun and I pulled mine first, He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough, And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough, And I know I wouldn't be there to help ya along. So I give ya that name and I said good-bye. I knew you'd have to get tough or die, And it's that name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight, And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do. But ya ought to thank me, before I die, For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you 'Sue'."
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, And I come away with a different point of view. And I think about him, now and then, Every time I try and every time I win, And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!
I guess this applies to me - Maroon5 She will be loved:
Beauty queen of only eighteen She had some trouble with herself He was always there to help her She always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles And wound up at your door I've had you so many times but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved
Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful I know I tend to get so insecure It doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies It's compromise that moves us along, Yeah My heart is full and my door's always open You can come anytime you want, Yeah
I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved And she will be loved She will be loved
I know where you hide Alone in your car Know all of the things that make you who you are I know that goodbye means nothing at all Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls Yeah
Tap on my window knock on my door I want to make you feel beautiful
I don't mind spending everyday Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved She will be loved And she will be loved She will be loved

{Kim choking} NOW BLEED! BITCH BLEED! BLEED! BITCH BLEED! BLEED!
Now that I'm recovered from the image of black lace on sweat from the 1st posting
I'll just go with part of a song:
You know I’d sooner forget but I remember those nights When life was just a bet on a race between the lights You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder like you don’t seem to care But believe in me baby and I’ll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
’cos I’ve run every red light on memory lane I’ve seen desperation explode into flames And I don’t want to see it again. . .
It's been posted before, but well worth a look in here!
The A25 Song
They say in the Air Force a landing's OK If the pilot gets out and can still walk away, But in the Fleet Air Arm the prospect is grim If the landing's piss-poor and the pilot can't swim.
cho: Cracking show, I'm alive,
But I still have to render my A25.
I fly for a living and not just for fun, I'm not very anxious to hack down a Hun, And as for deck landings at night in the dark, As I told Wings this morning,'Blow that for a lark.'
When the batsman gives "lower" I always go higher, I drift o'er to starboard and prang my Seafire. The boys in the "Goofers" all think that I'm green, But I get a commission from Supermarine.
They gave me a Barra to beat up the Fleet, I shot up the Rodney and Nelson a treat, I forgot the high mast that sticks out from Formid, And a seat in the "Goofers" was worth fifty quid.
I thought I was coming in high enough but I was fifty feet up when the batsman gave "cut", And loud in my earphones the sweet angels sang:
"'Float, float, foat, float, float, float, float, float, float, float,
PRANG!"
When you come o'er the round-down and see Wings' frown You can safely assume that your hook isn't down. A dirty great barrier looms up in front, And you hear Wings shout, "Switch off your engine, you fool!"
The Wings of St Merryn in a "Reliant" one day Set out for Trelliga for tea for to stay, But as he got there his engine cut out, And now all you hear is Wings' painful shout:
I swing down the deck in my Martlet Mark Four, Loud in my ear-'oles the Cyclone's smooth roar:
"Chuff-clank-clank, chuff-clank-clank, chuff-clank-clank-clink!' Away wing on pom-pom, away life in Drink
I flew over Jay-pan in my F.O. 2 Taking some pictures, admiring the view, When up came the flack and I turned round about, And that's why I sit in my dinghy and shout:
I came back to England and much to my wrath They gave me some dual in an old Tiger Moth, Which does fifty-five knots or something fantastic, Which is bloody good-o on some string and elastic.
One night in the 'Wardroom a subby named Bash, An awkward young bastard with a ginger moustache, Said, "Chaps I must drown all my sorrows in gin, I've been twelve hours ashore and I can't get it in."
I sat in the starter awaiting the kick, Amusing myself by rotating the stick. Down came the green flag, the plane gave a cough,
"Gor Blimey," said 'Wings'," he has tossed himself off."
Now in the Luftwaffe they never complain Since Goering invented the pilotless plane. They sit in the crew room and sing all the day, And this is the song that they sing so they say:
The moral of this story is easy to see, A Fleet Air Arm pilot you never should be, But stay on the shore and get two rings or three And go out every night on the piss down at Lee.
Cracking show, I'm alive, But I still have to render my A25.

Wish I'd written this but Kirsty MacColl beat me to it
I've been the token woman all my life The token daughter and the token wife And I've collected tokens one by one
'Til I've saved enough to buy a gun
Now you can't get even but you can get mad And it's not funny no and it's not sad It's just a feeling that I've always had Oh Look out world I'm about to be bad
I want a brief encounter in a stolen car A hand on my buttock in a Spanish bar I want to meet the man who wants to go too far For a token of my affection
I want to taste excitement Smell the danger Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger I want to try something that I've never had Oh look out world I'm about to be bad
I've been an awful woman all my life A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife And I've had my eye on that carving knife Oh you've been lucky so far
I'm not crazy no I'm just mad I don't want to be sorry No I want to be glad It's just a feeling inside that I have always had So look out world I'm about to be bad
When you look over your shoulder And you see the life that you've left behind When you think it over do you ever wonder? What it is that holds your life so close to mine
You love the thunder and you love the rain What you see revealed within the anger is worth the pain And before the lightning fades and you surrender You've got a second to look at the dark side of the man
You love the thunder and you love the rain You know your hunger like you know your name And i know you wonder how you ever came To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame
Draw the shade and light the fire For the night that holds you and calls your name And just like your lover, knows your desire And the crazy longing that time will never tame
You love the thunder and you love the rain You know your hunger like you know your name I got your number if it's still the same You can dream But you can never go back the way you came
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing Watch you smile while you are sleeping While you're far away and dreaming I could spend my life in this sweet surrender I could stay lost in this moment forever Well, every moment spent with you Is a moment I treasure I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing Lying close to you Feeling your heart beating And I'm wondering what you're dreaming Wondering if it's me you're seeing Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together And I just wanna stay with you In this moment forever, forever and ever I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss one smile I don't wanna miss one kiss Well, I just wanna be with you Right here with you, just like this I just wanna hold you close Feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all the rest of time Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna close my eyes I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you The sweetest dream would never do I'd still miss you, baby And I don't wanna miss a thing Don't wanna close my eyes Don't wanna fall asleep, yeah I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss a thing
