Guardian Anthems

Indeed. It almost seems to have Idealist elements, especially in the video, where the girl is having trouble fitting in cuz she's so strange and the lyric that says "[my viewpoint] is not sane..." But then again Guardians look for acceptance which she was through the whole vid and ends up being content with people just like her (Idealists would say, forsooth! ) And then of course the lines about their life being pretty plain and just watching concrete things and trying to hold together and seek stability which sounds just like my Protector.

Blind Melon "No Rain"

Ooooo-oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watching the puddles gather rain

And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view
But it's not sane, it's not sane

I just want someone to say to me no, oh, oh, oh
I'll always be there when you wake, yea-ah
You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made

And here is what I THOUGHT the lyrics said back in the day:

All I can do is just pull some teeth or two.

and..

You know I'd like to keep my teenage tragedy, so stay with me and I'll have a maid!

HAH!!!

YES. I've been having fun at work looking up misheard lyrics on KISSTHISGUY.com and singing them to the radio to my coworkers. Some of them are downright hilarious. No time to post them now, I'll have to come back and make a thread about it later.

Death Cab For Cutie "Expo '86"

Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.

But if I move my place in line I'll lose.
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.

I am waiting for something to go wrong.
I am waiting for familiar resolve.

Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect
The twists and turns of plots that turned us from lovers to friends
I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf
And crack it's weary spine and read to help remind myself

But if I move my place in line i'll lose.
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.

I am waiting for something to wrong
I am waiting for familiar resolve
I am waiting for another repeat
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
And I am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.
