The Hippie Chick

Just Britney, out and about. Again. But I posted this to ask this; what's with the bad British accent she's been trotting out lately? Seriously, no, Britney. Just. No.

That said, now I think there needs to be a moratorium on Britney Spears. Maybe if the press and paps stop this stupidity and just leave her be, she'll find that she's not getting the attention she craves (and I do think she equates it with love, honestly... she's a sad woman) and decide to get herself some much needed help.

So... moratorium in 5..4..3..2..

Every time I see her or hear something about her, this song automatically pops into my head for some reason:


You're the kind of person
You meet at certain dismal dull affairs.
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud
Running up and down the stairs.
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years.
And though you've tried you just can't hide
Your eyes are edged with tears.

You better stop
Look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.

When you were a child
You were treated kind
But you were never brought up right.
You were always spoiled with a thousand toys
But still you cried all night.
Your mother who neglected you
Owes a million dollars tax.
And your father's still perfecting ways of making sealing wax.

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.

Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane.
Well nothing I do don't seem to work,
It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please.

You were still in school
When you had that fool
Who really messed your mind.
And after that you turned your back
On treating people kind.
On our first trip
I tried so hard to rearrange your mind.
But after while I realized you were disarranging mine.

You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown.
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown
Here comes your nineteenth nervous breakdown


Mick wrote it about Chrissie Shrimpton, but you know, some of those lyrics.... hmmm....

A post to a forum I frequent got me thinking about some of the greatest opening lyrics of rock songs because someone posted Spinner's list. I have to say Spinner sucks with lists quite a bit, so I have to expound upon this. Here are a few that I can add that you really can't forget once you hear 'em:

"I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand walking through the streets of Soho in the rain. He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's, going to get a big dish of beef chow mein."
- Warren Zevon, Werewolves of London. And yes, this one ends up on most greatest opening lyrics of rock lists, for it is that great. XD

"When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all."
- Paul Simon, Kodachrome. And how true is that?! Love this song.

"I read the news today, oh boy."
- The Beatles, A Day In the Life. What more needs to be said?

"Johnny's in the basement
mixing up the medicine.
I'm on the pavement
thinking about the government.
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off..."
- Bob Dylan, Subterranean Homesick Blues. Bow down to the great Zimmerman.

"Hey little girl is your daddy home? Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire...I'm on fire."
- Bruce Springsteen, I'm On Fire. One of only a few songs by the Boss that I really love.

"Sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent. Snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes."
- Jethro Tull - Aqualung

"If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?"
- Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird. This song makes me cry.


"You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht.
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf it was apricot."
- Carly Simon, You're So Vain. Still don't to this day know just who this song is about.

"You're breakin' my heart, you're tearin' it apart. So fuck you!!"
- Harry Nilsson, You're Breakin' My Heart. I just love singing along with this one.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and faith. And I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain. Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate."
- The Rolling Stones, Sympathy For The Devil. Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.

Anyway, enough of that. I could go on. In fact, elfslut? Feel free to steal this for the meme if you want.

Fanny (Be Tender With My Love) <-- click for download

First I rise, then I fall
seems like you don't want the love of this man at all.
And it's sure been a lonely time
right up to the time I met you.
So if you take a love like mine...

Be tender with my love
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't desert me...

So you say to yourself,
boy you're out of your brain.
Do you think I'm gonna stand here all night in the rain?
And it's the start of a love affair
the moment when I first met you.
And if you want I'll take you there...

Be tender with my love
you know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't forsake me...

With my love...
Our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love...
You made a promise you'll always love me forever...

Be tender with my love
you know how easy it is to break me
Fanny, be tender with my love
'cause it's all that I've got And my love won't forsake me...

I've been hearing this one at work a lot lately. Got me back on an early (actually pre- SNF) Bee Gees kick. The album this song comes from, Main Course , released in 1975, was their 11th and the first in which Barry would bust out that falsetto. It had a more R&B feel to it than prior outings as well. Not lacking in those famous, tight harmonies that these brothers made their name perfecting.

"Jive Talkin'" and "Nights on Broadway" are also on this one. And I love, love, love "Wind of Change". But "Fanny" is one I always thought was so sweet and I always have to stop and listen when it comes on.

Listening right now. And I thought I'd share this little nugget with you.

*listens to her playlist on WinAmp*

I have no idea why this wouldn't be one of his top played songs. ♥

Blow Away - George Harrison

Day turned black, sky ripped apart
Rained for a year 'til it dampened my heart
Cracks and leaks
The floorboards caught rot
About to go down
I had almost forgot.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

Sky cleared up, day turned to bright
Closing both eyes now the head filled with light
Hard to remember what a state I was in
Instant amnesia
Yang to the Yin.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

Wind blew in, cloud was dispersed
Rainbows appearing, the pressures were burst
Breezes a-singing, now feeling good
The moment had passed
Like I knew that it should.

All I got to do is to love you
All I got to be is, be happy
All it's got to take is some warmth to make it
Blow Away, Blow Away, Blow Away.

This video is all kinds of awesome. "Pink, it's like red but not quite." ♥ Steven!!

And Centaur!Joe Perry... HAWT.

Pink - Aerosmith
Pink it's my new obsession
Pink it's not even a question,
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo
'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her

Pink it was love at first sight, and
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
Pink it's my favorite crayon, yeah

Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight

*bows, runs off*

Why? Well number one it's Tom Petty. And number two? Because Johnny Depp is in it! They just showed it on VH1 Classics. *le sigh*

( A rebel without a clue... )

Can't resist a guy with a guitar. Especially Johnny with a guitar. ::drools::

That is all. ;)

Remembering on this solemn day.





You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their fathers' hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.


Teach Your Children - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Okay why are men such big idiots? I wanna know.
