Open Mic Night!

[Liselle]

<p>Karoke night! So what song will you be playing when you get your decision?</p>

<p>Here’s mine, dedicated to YOU, Harvard:</p>

<p>U2 - City of Blinding Lights </p>

<p>The more you see the less you know
The less you find out as you go
I knew much more then than I do now </p>

<p>Neon heart dayglo eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They’re advertising in the skies
For people like us </p>

<p>And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground…. </p>

<p>Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh </p>

<p>Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights </p>

<p>Don’t look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs purple irises
The camera can’t see </p>

<p>I’ve seen you walk unafraid
I’ve seen you in the clothes you made
Can you see the beauty inside of me?
What happened to the beauty I had inside of me? </p>

<p>And I miss you when you’re not around
I’m getting ready to leave the ground </p>

<p>Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh </p>

<p>Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights </p>

<p>Time… time
Won’t leave me as I am
But time won’t take the boy out of this man [Well…the idea still applies!]</p>

<p>Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
Oh you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights </p>

<p>The more you know the less you feel
Some pray for others steal
Blessings are not just for the ones who kneel…luckily. </p>

<p>It won’t be the end of the world if I don’t get in, but it would be so rocking awesome if I did!</p>

<p>AL Green & Slic, dedicated to all you nervous EA’ers out there</p>

<p>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But, if we are wise, we know that there’s, always tomorrow.</p>

<p>CHORUS
Lean on me, when you’re not strong, and I’ll be your friend,
I’ll help you carry on. For, it won’t be long, 'till I’m gonna need, somebody to lean on.</p>

<p>Please, swallow your pride, if I have
things, you need to borrow. For no one can feel, those of your needs, that you won’t let show.</p>

<p>You just call on me brother when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you’ll understand, we all need somebody to lean on.</p>

<p>CHORUS</p>

<p>You just call on me brother when you need a hand, we all
need somebody to lean on. I just might have a problem that
you’ll understand, we all need some body to lean on.</p>

[KidSampson]

<p>whatever ill be listening to will be drowned out by my own noises of despair…</p>

[Anom]

<p>“The Sound of Silence”</p>

<p>Simon and Garfunkle</p>

[sunglasses]

<p>“I’m Shakin’” by Rooney–while I’m opening my inbox.</p>

<p>I’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel normal
To be normal
I’ve forgotten what food tastes like
The way it tastes right
The taste buds taste right
I wake up in so much spit and sweat, it is not normal
What is normal?</p>

<p>I go to bed
When I wake up
After cleaning all
All the spit and sweat</p>

<p>I’m sha sha shakin, sha shakin’
I’m sha sha shakin, I’m shakin’ now
Woah</p>

<p>I tossed and turned all night
'cause I was looking for an ending
This was so because I watched all day
The neverending story with atreyu</p>

<p>The next day came but not a beam of light
Because the blinds were shut
Sha sha sha shut so tight</p>

<p>I fell out of bed laced with spit and sweat
It made me very cold
It made me</p>

<p>Now I’m, now I’m
Sha sha shakin’, sha shakin’
I’m sah sha shakin’, I’m shakin’ now</p>

<p>I’m supposed to feel better
this nightmare is supposed to end
I am holding on, I am holding on,
I am holding on, I am holding on,
I’m sha sha shakin’, sha shakin’
I’m sha sha shakin’, I’m shakin’ now</p>

<p>i’ll be the first to hate on simple plan… however, this song is just OH SO right (just replace the idea that this song was written for an actual person, and it’s right one track): <em>first verse is KEY</em></p>

<p>Another day is going by
I’m thinking about you all the time
But you’re out there
And I’m here waiting</p>

<p>And I wrote this letter in my head
Cause so many thing were left unsaid
But now you’re gone
And I can’t think straight</p>

<p>This could be the one last chance
To make you understand</p>

<p>I’d do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can’t put you in the past
I’d do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cause I know
I won’t forget you</p>

<p>Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place
To never come back</p>

<p>So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I’ll be here
I’ll be waiting</p>

<p>This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can’t let you leave me once again</p>

<p>I’d do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cause somehow I can’t put you in the past
I’d do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
Cause I know
I won’t forget you</p>

<p>I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can’t forget you
Nanana
And I’d do anything for you</p>

<p>I’d do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Cause somehow I can’t put you in the past
I’d do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
With you</p>

<p>I’d do anything
To fall asleep with you
I’d do anything
There’s nothing I won’t do
I’d do anything
To fall asleep with you
I’d do anything
Cause I know
I won’t forget you</p>

<p>Hahaha, I love it, Fiesta. Good call.</p>

[invictus]

<p>i can’t believe you hate a simple plan. =(</p>

[staticsoliloquy]

<p>omg SIMPLE PLAN = my life!!</p>

<p>love “welcome to my life” and “perfect”</p>

<p>i’m so emo!</p>

[invictus]

<p>i guess you can never really understand. <em>sob</em></p>

[just_forget_me]

<p>emo is considered an epithet for people who know music</p>

<p>that being considered, calling Simple Plan “emo” is an affront to that term</p>

[willywonka]

<p>I think U2’s “Stuck in a Moment” is probably a song that will, unfortunately but realistically, serve much of this board well tomorrow.</p>

<p>“In Other Words” by Ben Kweller really has nothing to do with the situation, but it’s so sad-sounding that I’m sure it would be a nice accompaniment.</p>

<p>The Olivia Tremor Control: Hilltop Procession (Momentum Gaining)</p>

<p>mystified and unified we know
half-empty but positive we know
there are no explanations to the things you see
in your mystery
so don’t look to me to validate your dreams</p>

<p>hilltop procession momentum gaining
take me away from this food chain link
bauble among the bone and streams
woke up</p>
