R&P: Is there a song with lyrics that sums up your whole life or a part of your life?

Question

'Lose another day here, lose another year here, I'm with you
You are the fire on my apartment floor
Sixteen stories, I'd rather burn than fall
It isn't fate that took us all by storm
It's just the turn of a card
Goodbye old friend, goodnight!
I'll move on, I'll move on
You'll call it fate, I'll call it karma
We had our time, it was fun while it lasted
I'll look back with honor and no regrets now
I won't be mad, I won't feel bad
These memories will never leave me
Don't be sad cause life goes on, life goes on
It's getting too late, tomorrow is here'

MY LIFE summed up.

BQ. Am I a reg, a newbie, or some random annoying kid you want to kick out of this section?
BQ2. Don't you all love me?
BQ3. I'm not self-obsessed at all, am I?;)
BQ4. Dark chocolate is best.

Rock And Roll Singer - AC/DC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3KHzp4HKc8



My Daddy was workin' nine to five

When my Momma was havin' me

By the time I was half alive

They knew what I was gonna be

But I left school and grew my hair

They didn't understand

They wanted me to be respected as

A doctor or a lawyer man

(But I had other plans)



Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,

A rock 'n' roll star



Well I worked real hard and bought myself

A rock 'n' roll guitar

I gotta be on top some day

I wanna be a star

I can see my name in lights

And I can see the queue

I got the devil in my blood

Tellin' me what to do

(And I'm all ears)



Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll,

A rock 'n' roll star

(I hear it pays well)



Well you can stick your nine to five livin'

And your collar and your tie

You can stick your moral standards

'Cause it's all a dirty lie

You can stick your golden handshake

And you can stick your silly rules

And all the other ****

That you teach to kids in school

('Cause I ain't no fool)



Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll

A rock 'n' roll star



Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll star

Gonna be a rock 'n' roll singer

I'm gonna be a rock 'n' roll

A rock 'n' roll star

Yes I are!

Answer 2

Crimpshrine - Trying too Hard. You need somebody to be with to feel complete. So you look for what you need in everyone you meet. Loneliness fuels your insecurities, and you think "Maybe something's wrong with me..." Take a little time to think about something besides trying to find somebody to love. Now the days are gone when you didn't care What people thought of you, but now you're keenly aware. 'Cuz if you hide your flaws and play your cards right, maybe you'll find someone to be with at the show tonight. How could things have gotten so bad? You're looking for someone to remind you of what you once had. Now you've lost your identity But that's alright. Convince yourself that anyone you find Is just right BA: no. never even been on a date.

Answer 3

"And the kids round here look just like shadows always quiet, holding hands

From the churches to the jails tonight all is silence in the world

As we take our stand down in jungleland



The midnight gangs assembled and picked a rendezvous for the night

They'll meet `neath that giant exxon sign that brings this fair city light

Man there's an opera out on the turnpike

There's a ballet being fought out in the alley

Until the local cops, cherry tops, rips this holy night

The streets alive as secret debts are paid

Contacts made, they vanished unseen

Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades hustling for the record machine

The hungry and the hunted explode into rocknroll bands

That face off against each other out in the street down in jungleland



In the parking lot the visionaries dress in the latest rage

Inside the backstreet girls are dancing to the records that the d.j. plays

Lonely-hearted lovers struggle in dark corners

Desperate as the night moves on, just a look and a whisper, and they're gone"

jungle land - bruce springsteen

Answer 4

Ride - Here and Now.





"The bridge holds back the sky

Can't hold back what's inside

And the train above me

Sounds like the music in my head

My thoughts are undecided

I think it so I hide it

And the train rushes past

Like a day gone too fast



I wish that I was stronger

Could keep my head for longer

I sit and watch my fear

But it won't dissapear

I can dream myself away

Lose myself for days

And the train rushes past

Like a day gone too fast



All I know is here and now"

Answer 5

My weekends right hurr

"Went to a party

I danced all night

I drank 16 beers

And I started up a fight

But now I am jaded

You're out of luck

I'm rolling down the stairs

Too drunk to **** "



... Just kidding.

Mostly.

HERE I GO AGAIN Whitesnake



(David Coverdale & Bernie Marsden)

I don't know where I'm going

But, I sure know where I've been

Hanging on the promises

In songs of yesterday

An' I've made up my mind,

I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again

Here I go again



Tho' I keep searching for an answer,

I never seem to find what I'm looking for

Oh Lord, I pray

You give me strength to carry on,

'Cos I know what it means

To walk along the lonely street of dreams



An' here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known,

Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

An' I've made up my mind

I ain't wasting no more time



I'm just another heart in need of rescue,

Waiting on love's sweet charity

An' I'm gonna hold on

For the rest of my days,

'Cos I know what it means

To walk along the lonely street of dreams



An' here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known,

Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

An' I've made up my mind

I ain't wasting no more time



But, here I go again,

Here I go again,

Here I go again,

Here I go...



An' I've made up my mind,

I ain't wasting no more time



An' here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known,

Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

'Cos I know what it means

To walk along the lonely street of dreams



An' here I go again on my own

Goin' down the only road I've ever known,

Like a hobo I was born to walk alone

An' I've made up my mind

I ain't wasting no more time...



But, here I go again,

Here I go again,

Here I go again,

Here I go,

Here I go again...
