One verse

[Peter_Out]

Describe yourself, your mood, or something else about you, in one verse (or chorus) of a song, or poem if that's your preference. Feel free to name the origin, or leave us all to try and find out on our own. It might be an idea to say what you're describing, in case it's not clear, but feel free to leave that out if you want to be mysterious (ooo!).

Obviously, I'll go first:

I've got a wantless need
I've got a thoughtless mind
I've got a needless want
I can't unwind
("What Have I Got", by the Rollins Band) [mood]

 

[MyBee]

So come on by my house and unleash me your monsters
With you at the helm we’ll go crashing around together
Don’t mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary
Cause baby this is love, I’ll come down to hell to keep you company

(The Simplest Thing by Hey Rosetta!)

 

[Hornymwtxn]

Now, when I was just a little boy
Standin' to my daddy's knee
My papa said, "Son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done to me"
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get you now, now

 

[Hypnobitch01]

Name your courage now
We could have had anything, anything else
Instead, you hoarded all that's left of me
Swallowin' your doubt
Like swords to the pit of my belly
I want to feel the fire that you kept from me

 

[F3x0r]

Well, there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me, do ya?
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Jeff Buckleys version of Hallelujah

 

[BishopHeahmund]

Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

Goo Goo Dolls "Name"

 

[Peter_Out]

Don't stop
Pay love and life-oh my
Keep moving on
On again-yeah
Shooting stars never stop
Shooting stars never stop

("Welcome to the Pleasure Dome", by Frankie Goes To Hollywood)

[I have no idea why I never get notifications for this thread. I thought it had simply died.]

 

[Peter_Out]

I wanna touch you, wanna feel you
I wanna make you mine
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
I wanna love you all night long
I wanna be with you all night long
("All Night Long" - Rainbow)

 

[Peter_Out]

Who needs sleep?
Well you’re never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
Tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you get
And there's a guy that's been awake since the second world war
("Who Needs Sleep?" - Barenaked Ladies)

 

[Peter_Out]

I've never been this lonely
And there's nowhere I can turn
But there must be strength in loneliness
And lessons to be learnt
You broke my heart into smithereens
I swear it will not mend
I'd really love to wake up sleeping
In your arms again
("Wake up Sleeping" - The Saw Doctors)

 

[Oralexplorer]

Mod slightly
If you liked Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne
If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape
You´re the lady that I´ve looked for, come with me, and escape...
("Escape (The Pina cõlada song)" Rupert Holmes)

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Get up from a dream
And I look for rain
Take an amphetamine
And a crushed rat's brain
How am I feelin'
Better I suppose
How am I lookin'
I don't want the truth
What am I doin'
I ain't in my youth
I'm past my prime
Or was that just a pose
It a wonderful lie
And I still get by on those

Its a wonderful lie - Paul Westerberg

 

[Peter_Out]

Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby
I'm a carpenter of love and affection
Breaking down the walls of heartache, baby
I got to tear down all the loneliness and tears
And build you up a house of love

("Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache" - Dexy's Midnight Runners, amongst others)

 

[Peter_Out]

If you are falling, I'll put out my hands
If you feel bitter, I will understand

I love you
I am the milkman of human kindness
I will leave an extra pint
("The Milkman of Human Kindness" - Billy Bragg)

“I’m a bitch, I’m a lover
I’m a child, I’m a mother
I’m a sinner, I’m a saint
I do not feel ashamed”

Meredith Brooks: “Bitch”

 

[JessiQueVix]

i tried to find which one resembles my mood or myself. but couldnt find anything appropriate. so now for this feeling, it should be, "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesnt even matter"

guess no one wrote a verse matching my mood lol cause it keeps swinging but the verses cant

 

[cactusjack0584]

This song hits so hard with me:

So, tell me, are you runnin' scared
'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair?
Well, baby, I'm a master of
The ancient art of always fuckin' up
Everything I've ever loved
They fall from me like autumn leaves
The wake, I make it scattered with debris
Of everything that could've been
'Cause I wrote the book, the study of
The ancient art of always fuckin' up

Ancient art of always fucking up - Lewis Capaldi

 

[Mo_Bandy]

No one wants to hear about your 97th tear
So dry your eyes or let it go uncried, my dear
I am all out of love to mouth into your ear
And not above letting a love song disappear
Before it's written

Plus Ones - Okkervil River

 

[AlexBailey]

San Francisco's calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we've got no place to stay
We hung about the Tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
The statue's crying too and well he may

(Piazza New York Catcher - Belle and Sebastian.)

 

[Masters_slutpussy]

My imagination gets the best of me.
You end up getting the rest of me.
The obsessed, crazy drama queen
Ya know what I mean?

Liked you better before- Little Jackie

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows, see how it is
They want you or they don't
Say yes

Say Yes - Elliott Smith

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Dress sexy at my funeral my good wife
And when it comes your turn to speak before the crowd
Tell them about the time we did it
On the beach with fireworks above us
On the railroad tracks with the gravel in your back
In the back room of a crowded bar
And in the graveyard where my body now rests
