*wearing a light pink baby doll corset dress with black fishnet stockings, knee high boots, and her hair pulled back except for two strands at the sides of her face*

this goes out to the gals who just don't have luck with the guys, this would cure alllllll of our ills *grins*

"coin operated boy" by dresden dolls
coin-operated boy
sitting on the shelf
he is just a toy
but i turn him on
and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a
coin-operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever, ever ask for more?
loe without complications galore

many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend
coin-operated boy
all the other real
ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle
to my new boy and i'll
never let him go
and i'll never be alone
and i'll never let him go
and i'll never be alone
and i'll never let him go
and i'll never be alone ...
coin-operated boy

this bridge was written
to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture
of girl getting bitterer
will you extract me
from my plastic fantasy
i didn't think so
but i'm still convinceable
will you persist
even after i bet you
a bill-i-on dollars
that i'll never love you
and will you persist
even after i kiss
good-bye for the last time
will you keep on try-ing
to prove it?
i'm dying
to lose it
i'm losing
my confidence
i want to
i want to
i want to
i want to
i want to
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want you
i want a ...
i want a ...
i want a ...
i want a ...
i want a ...
coin-operated boy

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i can't imagine
any flesh and blood would be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin-operated boy
he may not be real
experienced with girls
but i know he feels
like a boy should feel
isn't that the point?
that is why i want a
coin-operated boy
with a pretty coin-
operated voice
saying that he loves me
that he's thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want a
coin-operated boy.

"Therapy" by finger11

wide awakened out of spinning
round your safest orbit
you controlled the ordinary
i was grateful for it
wide awake in the beginning
trembling after the fall
only half my world remembers
while the other half revolves

cut off cause i can't remember
a face that would cut me deeper
but hearts could never leave me bleeding
becoming the cause and burden
the lesson begins unlearning
and it has never been forgiving my dear

its all too fmiliar
i've been here before
i'll carry this weight for your smallest reward
because i'll continue to break down the door
just let me in i swear
it will not be like before

can't think of what to say
can't think of what to do
i just think i might be losing my mind
can't stop this agony
cancel my therapy
cause i just thought of you
and now i feel fine

collecting the strangest conscience
apathy returns it's offense
but only after i get moving
relax and begin the change
in time for the newest age
to help me find out what i'm missing in here

its all too fmiliar
i've been here before
i'll carry this weight for your smallest reward
because i'll continue to break down the door
just let me in i swear
it will not be like before

can't think of what to say
can't think of what to do
i just think i might be losing my mind
can't stop this agony
cancel my therapy
cause i just thought of you
and now i feel fine

i covered all the ground til i uncovered our design
and every second i have spent has come to remind me in time

wide awakened out of spinning
round your safest orbit
you controlled the ordinary
i was grateful for it
i was grateful for it

can't think of what to say
can't think of what to do
i just think i might be losing my mind
can't stop this agony
cancel my therapy
cause i just thought of you
and now i feel fine

can't think of what to say
can't think of what to do
i just think i might be losing my mind
can't stop this agony
cancel my therapy
cause i just thought of you
and now i feel fine

I'm not even gonna tell you who this is dedicated to!

"These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs

These are days you'll remember
Never before and never since, I promise
Will the whole world be warm as this
And as you feel it, you know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

These are days you'll remember
When May is rushing over you with desire
To be part of the miracles you see
In every hour, you know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched by something
That will grow and bloom in you

These are days....

These are the days you might fill with laughter until you break
These days you might feel a shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do, you'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It's true, you'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they're speaking to you
To you

[FishiesGoPookPookPook]

OOOOOoooooooooo! *holds up a lighter in the crowd* GO NEWSY!

[Newsy]

Oh, I'm no fun at a karaoke bar. See, I can actually sing. Which I have been told makes me no fun.

*does a quick wardrobe and hair change, defying several laws of physics - or at least the physics of how hair works*

*creeps back onto the stage wearing a red fake-velvet top with cap sleeves, long flowy black skirt and black boots up to mid-calf, with her hair ironed straight*

*doesn't hit the middle of the stage until the first line of the second verse*

"Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette

Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd need shepherd
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate...

[FishiesGoPookPookPook]

.... yes ... yes you are not fun ... lol when i do karaoke i love hearign the good and the bad, the good ones give my ears a break from the bad ones and i'm not too bad ... but it really depends on what i'm trying to do lol i miss karaoke'ing :\

*walks out onto the stage in her floor length Vash the Stampede coat, black knee high boots, glasses pulled down the bridge of her nose, hair somewhat tussled, but no, not spiky and certainly not blond and bows to Newsy* damn it's hard to follow that lol the girl's got talent i found this song rather appropriate after the day i've had, i came home, turned on the radio, cranked it up and this was playing ...

"The Red" by Chevelle

They say freak
When your singled out
The red...
It filters through

So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again

Seeing red again

This change
He won't contain
Slip away
To clear your mind
When asked
What made it show?
The truth
He can't send to most

Seeing red again

They say freak
When your singled out
The red...
It filters through

[Speedbreaker]

*drags on a cigarette*

She packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the earth so much I miss my wife
It’s lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it’s cold as hell
And there’s no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don’t understand
It’s just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

[Rhinox]

Give me the dust of my father
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare all the sacred flesh of time itself

Follow me (Follow me)
I've come so far behind again
Follow me (Follow me)
Wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (Follow me)
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted the things I had before
All that I needed I never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
All of my endings waiting to begin

I know the way but I falter
I can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe

Follow me (Follow me)
I've seen so much I'm behind again
Follow me (Follow me)
I feel so bad I'm in love again
Follow me (Follow me)

All that I wanted the things I had before
All that I needed I never needed more
All of my questions are answers to my sins
All of my endings waiting to begin

[Newsy]

Fishies: YAY CHEVELLE! *cheers wildly*

*pulls hair back in a twist, leaving a few curls framing her face*

*puts the high-heeled brown sandals on again and quietly enters the stage, wearing a light blue 3/4-sleeve sweater and capri-length jeans*

*sits down on a bar stool placed downstage left*

"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
And God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance... I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
And never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance... I hope you dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance...

Time to go old school.

Coolidge by "The Descendents"

I'm not a cool guy anymore
As if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
Then rolled it over in my mind
The feelings I could not release
Became a bitter part of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked at my reflection
And I saw a stranger's face
I saw where I was going
And I had to walk away

I lost a girl, it's Just as well
She tried to save me from myself
I've still got her on my mind
Tossing and turning in my bed
But if she had stayed another week
I would have dragged her down with me
She took it till she'd had enough
Is that what I though love was?
I told her see you later
But it's hard to see at all
At the bottom of the barrel
With your back against the wall

I'm not a cool guy anymore
Left it behind, then locked the door
I know you can't escape the past
Now I look back and have to laugh
I was my worst enemy
It almost got the best of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
I looked up one day and saw that
It was up to me
You can only be a victim if you
Admit defeat

*drops mic, exits stage*

[FishiesGoPookPookPook]

ROCK ON RHINOX! *raises fists in the air* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (that's a "girls gone wild" scream people lol) slipknot is ALWAYS good

and elton john is just scaring me .... lol

*dons her normal daily attire, wide legged black courderoy pants with a white and red stipe up and down each leg, a sliced up fishnet shirt with ominous matching scars visible, her Lenore "fishies go pook pook pook" baby doll tee on over it, her bucket hat plastered in random and sometimes insulting pins, black beat up work boots unlaced with light blue laces nearly pulled entirely out, orange nail polish chipped almost entirely off and orange lip gloss* ... the lip gloss is new and so far i'm liking the "what the fu ..." factor most people have towards it *grins*

and just to make you all wonder about me, here's a relatively new favorite of mine "Pablo Picasso" by Citizen Cope

the woman that i love
is forty feet tall
she's a movie star
she's all in the papers
and everywhere i go
people hand me quarters
and they pat me on the back
they treat me like i'm famous
i'll never leave her side
'cause today can be dangerous
and when the night arrives
the light hits her features
and the cars drive by
just so they can see her
and she never bats an eye
when someone takes her picture

and mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher
say mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher
gonna end up in the papers, going to end up the papers' yeah

if i had a pistol
i'd brandish it and wave it
she's the only one alive that knows that i'm not crazy
she's gonna testify on my behalf
down at the navy
so i can get some peace
and provide for my babies
i got a stick and a bottle
i'll pretend i got a razor
helicopters and cameras all shootin for the station
they say that a wild man defending his lady
but for some odd reason
they keep calling you a painting

say mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher
say mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher, say
gonna end up in the papers, going to end up the papers' yeah

mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher
mr. officer if you've come to take her
then that means one of us
gonna end up on a stretcher, say
gonna end up in the papers, going to end up the papers' yeah

THAT... wasn'tEltonJohn... that was... William Shatner!

"Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it'd take
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone to lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don't have no master suite
But I'm still the king of me
You've got a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame I'm looking up

I'm gonna soak up the sun
I got my 45 on so I can rock on

[FishiesGoPookPookPook]

i haven't heard that song in far too long, i actually miss hearing it now and then :\

*strolls out onto the stage feeling conspicuous in faded, well fitting boot cut jeans, a light blue my little pony shirt over a white fishnet shirt, and the normal barely brushed hair, crooked glasses and the beloved knee-high silver boots* this is "the frog song" that someone always requests me to sing in real karaoke joints

"Warning" by incubus

bat your eyes girl,
be other worldly,
count your blessings,
seduce a stranger.
what's so wrong with
being happy?
kudos to those who
see through sickness.
when she wakes in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by
and she called out a warning,
"don't ever let life pass you by."

i suggest we
learn to love each-
other before it's
made illegal.
when will we learn?
when will we change?
just in time to
see it all fall down.
those left standing ... will make millions
... writing books on the way it should have been
and she called out a warning
"don't ever let life pass you by."

floating in this
cosmic jacuzzi
we are like
frogs oblivious
to the water
starting to boil.
no one flinches
we all float face down.

when she woke in the morning
she knew that her life had passed her by.
and she called out a warning
"don't ever let life pass you by."

[Machete Holiday]

I just want to mention that I heard that song 850 times over the past two summers. It was the standard song that they put on EVERY female seniors picture slide show.

Thanks for the memories.

*cries*
