heheh I see a lotta Queen on her I luv it.
One of my 'leaving' songs was
Queens "Break Free'
I want to break free,
I want to BREAK free,
I wan't to break free from your lies
your so self satisfied I don't need you
I want to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
(then 4th vs)
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby can't you see
I've got to break freeAnother was AC/DC's Highway to Hell.... hehhe
In high school when times got tough I always sung Tom Petty's 'wont back down', it came in handy during our heresey trial.
No I won't back down, gonna stand my ground
you can stand me up at the gates of hell
but I won't back down, no I'll stand my ground
and I'll keep this world from dragging me down
gonna stand my ground and I won't back down dddododododoododhhhoodoodEurithymics "Thorn in my side" was a good one too
Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you ever were.
A bundle of lies.
You know that's all that it was worth...
I should have known better
But I trusted you at first.
I should have known better
But I got what I deserved...
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.
Thorn in my side.
You know that's all you'll ever be.
So don't think you know better
'Cause that's what you mean to me...
I was feeling complicated.
I was feeling low.
Now everytime I think of you
I shiver to the bone...ohwowohowhowowwowho
to run run run run
To run away from you
Was all that I could do.and my personal version of 'I will surivive' (sung to Gloria Gaynor or Cake, whatever your preference hehehe)
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how many they’d done me wrong I grew strong, I learned how to move on.
Now you think I've gone aposate
I just walked in to find you here with a book your tyin’ to place
Put me on your Do Not Call List
It’ll make you leave me be
I should have known in just one second you’d be back to bother me
Ohh NOW GO walk out the door,
just turn around now your not welcome anymore
weren’t you the one who tried to promise paradise
did you think I’d crumble did you think I’d break down and die?
Ohh not I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive, I WILL SURVIVE!!!
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
I’m trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent ohh so many nights reading books about the cult!
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high!
And you’ll see me believing something knew,
I’m not that stupid little person still controlled by you
And so you thought you’d just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I’m savin all my faith for a God who’s lovin me
Ohh NOW GO walk out the door,
just turn around now your not welcome anymore
weren’t you the one who tried to promise paradise
did you think I’d crumble did you think I’d break down and die?
Ohh not I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I’ll be alive
I’ve got all my life to live, I’ve got all my love to give
I will survive, I WILL SURVIVE!!! -

I think this is the one for me:
- I'm Free
[TOMMY]
I'm free -- I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality!
I'm free -- I'm free,
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
If I told you what it takes
To reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say "Nothing's that simple."
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free -- I'm free,
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
I'm free -- I'm free,
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.Now I think I know why I have loved that song for so many years........
My subconscious is so much smarter than I am!

That big eight-wheeler movin' down the track,
Means your true-lovin' daddy ain't comin' back,
I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone.You were flyin' to high,
For my little ol' sky,
So I'm movin' on.francois

By 'The Angels' a great Aussie band
We Gotta Get out of this Place
In this dirty old part of the city
where the sun refused to shine
people tell me there is no use in trying
now my girl you so young and so pretty
and one thing I know is true
you'll be dead before your time is due
see my daddy in bed a dyin'
see his hair it's turning grey
he's been working and slaving his life away
He's been working so hard
every night and day
ooh I've been working too
yeah, yeah
We gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place
girl there's a better life for me and you
Now my girl you so young and pretty
and one thing I know is true
you'll be dead before your time is due
see my daddy in bed a dyin'
watch his hair it's turning grey
he's been working and slaving his life away
He's been working so hard
every night and day
yeah, yeah, yeah
We gotta get out of this place
if it's the last thing we ever do
we gotta get out of this place
girl there's a better life for me and youLove this song.

OOh OOh I've got some more:
This ones for the JC meeting:
Angels - Face To-Face Us - Waiting For The World lyrics: (Brewster-Neeson-Brewster)
Barefooted could've beens, playing snakes and ladders
climbing up the gravel walk
welcome them inside and you watch their words collide
as they try to talk
show them the doors to the cold star chamber
they say "after you"
then they all take turns waving flags, playing mastermind
held by a thumbscrew
That's you, yeah you, ah that's you
waiting for the world to come to you
Spare me the dose of your reneoed wisdom that you think is new
`cos good all time's making monkeys out of small time flunkies
like you
That's you, yeah you, ah that's you
waiting for the world, waiting for the world to come to you.This ones how you feel when you wanna get out:
Angels - Face To-Face Aus - Straight Jacket lyrics: (Brewster-Neeson-Brewster)
He comes from a wasteland where stones misdeed into the night
they pretend they feed him, then shoot him down in the
search light
They're putting words in your mouth so you talk like them
dressing you up in a straight jacket
Wearing his straight jacket, taking his pay back in scars
she lies beside him and tells him that life's not too hard
They're putting words in your mouth so you talk like them
dressing you up in a straight jacket
Caught by the fear and the anger of all you despise
wanting the feeling of eden, you've learnt how to die

Amazing, so many more excellent selections. My file grows larger. I will have a whole CD of Leaving WT songs. I wonder if it can be marketed?

Blondie,
Cool topic, and lots of great song lyrics posted here.
For a change of pace, my favorite "leaving song", from the point of view of the WT!
The Cardigans -
Deuce
I am afraid of you now
Now that you left me
Nothing to say
Not much now
Now that you left me
Now that you left me
Now that you left me
Just for how long
Did you know before you left me?
Nothing to do
It's up to you
To use it against me
Use it against me
Now that you left me
You are ahead of me now
Because you left me
Words that I said
All yours now
Use it against me
You have erased me!
Now that you left me
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
------------------------------------------------------------------
Might be hard to find, this song was never on a Cardigans CD. It's from the soundtrack to the "X-Files movie, Fight the Future".
