Is there a line or two from a song that fits your personality?

[BlueKota]

Mine-From "It's Still Rock and Roll For Me," by Billy Joel.

"Should you try to be a straight A student, if you are then you think too much."

I spent high-school, and college trying to become one. Mostly because one of the nuns wrote on my report card in fourth grade that a C average is probably the best my parents could ever expect out of me.

I set out on a mission to prove her wrong, even though several of my other teachers along the way had already told me, she was full of it, because they knew I was smarter than she was giving me credit for. Still I felt driven.

I made the honor roll all four years of high-school, made the Dean's List at both the Community College and Private College I attended, as well as graduating with honors. I also was inducted into the Social Science Honor Society for never having less than a B+.

I was always mad I never got a 4.0, but went back for 2 years to get a paralegal degree, and finally got my 4.0. So I did prove that nun wrong.

Unfortunately after 10 years as a historian, my anxiety and depression got the better of me, so Billy is probably right. I should have just had more fun along the way, and not cared so much about who thought I was smart or not.

[elleng]

P.S. high school was pretty good, STILL in touch with classmates, had 'small' reunion 2 my home 10 years, they like my pics,

[brewens]

3. "I don't want mucha nothin' at all but I will take another toke." The Charlie Daniels Band-Long haired country Boy.

[House of Roberts]

4. The song is Roll Um Easy, by Linda Ronstadt.

Well I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue

I liked the song so well that I used 'Vagabond' as my AM CB handle. Never ran into anyone else that used that for theirs.

[Ocelot II]

5. Ain't Too Proud To Beg.

[rsdsharp]

6. Gordon Lightfoot -- Race Among the Ruins

Just think about the fool
Who by his virtue can be found
In a most unusual situation
Playin' jester to the clown

[dchill]

7. Day after day, alone on a hill...

The Man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.

[Ziggysmom]

8. Blind Melon, No Rain

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

[mdmc]

33. I've had this song in my head for weeks

[k55f5r]

9. Jimmy Buffet and I know...

And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean
Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion
Strange situation, wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song
Yes it's a strange situation, a wild occupation
Livin' my life like a song

[EverHopeful]

11. Wasn't going to post here but now want to

"I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy
In a world full of pushin' and shove

[red dog 1]

12. A song title fits my personality

"I'm Not Like Everybody Else" by The Kinks

[TlalocW]

15. Whatta Man by Salt N' Pepa

I routinely joke that if I could control reality, I would make it so that all noise in a room would be interrupted by a loud record scratch, the chorus from that son would start playing, and I would enter through a doorway that had inexplicably fogged over.

Of course, this is just a running joke and not serious. I'm not THAT egotistical.

[TlalocW]

16. Seriously though...

I think the song, "My Brilliant Feat," by Colin Hayes sums up most people's lives pretty well. The invincibility of youth; the zenith of your life that you might always strive to reach again but also maybe the maturity to reflect back on that time with fondness and a different perspective, and how you'll be remembered when you're gone. It will be played at my funeral.

Did someone call my name
Like a distant drum is beating
Or is it just another dream of long ago?
I dance again, I am spinning
In the light I am living
And I can feel the power rushing through my veins

Once upon a time I could do no wrong
For the candle flickers
The flame is never gone

To my brilliant feat
They all pay heed
I hear the crowds roar oh, so loudly

Is it a game of chance or merely circumstances?
A jack to a king and back
Then you have to pay to play

The world, it won't wait for you
It's got its own things to do
The sun's gotta rise and drive another night away
And as I listen to the silence
I can hear thunder in the distance

To my brilliant feat
They all pay heed
I hear the crowds roar oh, so loudly
To my brilliant feat
I make grown men weep
And still my eyes grow oh, so cloudy

[Wounded Bear]

17. I am a rock, I am an island...

And a rock feels no pain.
And an Island never cries.

Paul Simon

"I Am a Rock" - Simon and Garfunkel

[lpbk2713]

18. Well ...

Desperado, you know you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking
Through this world all alone
And don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow, and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night-time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you)
Let somebody love you before it's too late


More than a line or two ... my apologies.

[Midnight Writer]

19. Used to be "I wanna rock and roll all night, and party every day!"

Now it's more "guess I'll wind up like I always do. Just me and my shadow".

34. My boys ages 6 and 9 just discovered this song in a Disney show and love it

They also found Iron Man by Black Sabbath and We Will Rock You by Queen.

[Donkees]

20. ''We come in the age's most uncertain hour, And sing an American tune''

And I dreamed I was flying
And high above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

Oh, we come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age’s most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune

American Tune by Paul Simon

[Doc_Technical]

23. Faking it- Simon & Garfunkel

I've just been fakin' it (fakin' it)

Now I sit by my window and watch the cars
I fear I'll do some do some damage one fine day
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers

Oh, still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years
(Paul Simon)

Sometimes when the cuckoo's crying
When the moon is halfway down
Sometimes when the night is dying

I wander round

35. From "I Am Mine," by Pearl Jam:

I know I was born, and I know that I'll die...the in-between is mine."
