Here's mine:

Survival, Madonna

I'll never be an angel
I'll never be a saint it's true
I'm too busy surviving
Whether it's heaven or hell
I'm gonna be living to tell, so

Here's my story, No risk, no glory
A little up and down and all around
It's all about survival

Here's my question
Does your criticism
Have you caught up in what you cannot see
Well if you give me respect
Then you'll know what to expect, a little

Up and down and all around
It's all about survival

I'll never be an angel
Up and down and all around, survival
Up and down and all around
I'll never be a saint it's true
Up and down and all around, survival

"It's a Sin" by Pet Shop Boys
"It's My Life" by Bon Jovi

lauri ylonen explains that this song is about religion.

When you found me on the street
Did you think you rescued me?
Bet you thought without you I would die
Like a snake you swallowed me
I took it till I couldn't breathe
Just to bring your fantasies to life
You count on the faithful
To get your way
And to follow your light

You got it wrong now
'cause I don't give a ****
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

You fool me with your mystery
Preaching peace and charity
But I see through your vanity and lies
You think you got the best of me
But I will rewrite history
I'll take back my life to your surprise
If I could make it as painful
As you did for me
I'd be just wasting my time

You got it wrong now
'cause I don't give a ****
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

There's a little part of me
That would like to see you cry
Even if it's just one tear
I know it would never dry

You got it wrong now
'cause I don't give a ****
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

Title: R.E.M. - Losing My Religion lyrics

Artist: R.E.M. Lyrics


Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

(chorus)
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight, I'm
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try?
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream
Dream

"See A Little Light" - Bob Mould

Listen, there's music in the air,
I heard your voice comin' from somwhere,
But look how much we've grown,
Well, I guess I should have known.

As the years go by they take a toll on you,
Think of all the things we wanted to do,
Now those words we said yesterday
Well, that's a long time ago.

You didn't think I'd really go now.
Are you waiting? I know why.
You're already saying goodbye.
Are you ready? I know why...

Chorus:
I can see a little light (I know you will)
I can see it in your eyes, I know you still care,
But if you want me to go you should just say so.

Repeat chorus multiple times


Btw, this is my favorite song; the opening guitar motif makes my knees weak.

(Also, I never know how to punctuate song lyrics or poetry, so please pardon my spastic commas.)

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost

Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won’t bring me down!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
bring me down!
