Author Meaplus3 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 answerplease37, have you no sense of shame?! Poor Mr. Rogers is most likely spinning in his grave. And I'm sure your exMM is not Mr. Rogers worthy. My exMW certainly is not. On a more serious side, I'm happy to see that another "veteran" shares my sense of triumphant remorse on hearing that great Green Day song. By the way, the acoustic version is fine, too. Poor Mr. Rogers is most likely spinning in his grave. And I'm sure your exMM is not Mr. Rogers worthy. My exMW certainly is not. Yeah well let him Spin, LOL! That show and song annoyed me for year's. No Xmm is not Mr. Roger's worthy, however sometimes he's Dressed like him, not kidding. I'll catch a glimpse as he leaves for work and I'm like WOW! Check out that outfit, Too Funny!:lmao: AP:)

That's fine with me. My exMW, in a last ditch effort to keep our Affair alive, sent me Dido's "White Flag," which has the following lyrics: [FONT=Verdana][sIZE=5][sIZE=2]"White Flag" I know you think that I shouldn't still love you, Or tell you that. But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it where's the sense in that? I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder Or return to where we were I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I know I left too much mess and destruction to come back again And I caused nothing but trouble I understand if you can't talk to me again And if you live by the rules of "it's over" then I'm sure that that makes sense I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be And when we meet Which I'm sure we will All that was there Will be there still I'll let it pass And hold my tongue And you will think That I've moved on.... I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be I will go down with this ship And I won't put my hands up and surrender There will be no white flag above my door I'm in love and always will be Well, she went down with the ship.

We worked together in a GIGANTIC company where it truly is possible to go years without seeing someone and it always made me nervous going into our lobby...I was soo afraid of seeing him. I few months after the W found out I quit...and though not because of the risk of seeing him...it has made a tremendous difference. Like a weight has been lifted because now the chance of running into him is virtually zero. So many feelings. So many strong feelings. Why on earth do we put ourselves into those situations? I mean, honestly?

That really, really sucks, woman. Stay light, laugh and have fun but never, ever go back to the Dark Side. Now, when a married woman demonstrates the least bit of interest in me, I run for the hills. If she wants thrills, it won't be with me. Which reminds me. What's the perfect Affair song for the OM? The cynic in me nominates Zep's Dazed and Confused. You know the line,"soul of a woman created below."

But I did make a choice to get involved so this is the price I have to pay! So, when I am out and about and I know full well that mm is too, I will just belt out "I'm a little tea pot short and stout here is my handle and here is my spout. When I get all steamed up here me shout! Tip me over and pour me out", LOL I'm for darn sure that will make him look another way because he will think I am a nut case, LOL! As for you and Married women, Run and fast! A great idea! Oh and Dazed and Confused, that's a good one! I think Justine Timberlake hit the nail on the head with this song.

In the afternoon, Banana chips and tea. Sliced bananas lightly fried with coconut oil. Mmm... They're just a little bit sweet. Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! Banana chips for me! Banana chips for you! I can never get enough banana chips, it's true. Oh, I really like to eat them. Love their sweet smell of coconut oil. Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips, Banana Chips. Oh, yeah! Banana chips for you!

Herzen Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I agree, AP, this Timberlake song contains some fine poetry: Girl, you got what you deserved And now you want somebody To cure the lonely nights You wish you had somebody That could come and make it right But girl, I ain't somebody I'm out of sympathy As am I. As am I.
directx Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I love this song! It was so good, even Frank Sinatra would sing it in Vegas (which I would KILL for a recording of, if one exists) YOU AND ME When I get home from work, I wanna wrap myself around you. I wanna take you and squeeze you Til the passion starts to rise. I wanna take you to heaven. That would make my day complete. But you and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, babe, well that's enough for me. Sometimes when you're asleep and I'm just starin' at the ceiling, I wanna reach out and touch you, but you just go on dreamin'. If I could take you to heaven, that would make my day complete. But you and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some lovin', and TV, yeah. That's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, sweetheart that's just enough for me. You and me ain't no super stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, some popcorn, and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am is what I am. And I tell you, babe, you're just enough for me. When I get home from work, I wanna wrap myself around you. I like to hold you squeeze you Til the passion starts to rise. I wanna take you to heaven. That would make my day complete. You and me ain't no movie stars. What we are is what we are. We share a bed, of lovin', and TV, yeah. And that's enough for a workin' man. What I am well that's what I am. I tell you, baby, that's just enough for me.

IMOP Cool and true lyrics! Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder, Don't you know, the hardest part is over, let it in, Let your clarity define you in the end, You will only just remember how it feels. Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders These twisted turns of fate, time falls away, But these small hours, these small hours, still remain. Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you, let it stand, Till you feel it all around you, And I don't mind if it's me you need to turn to, we'll get by, It's the heart that really matters in the end. Our lives are made, in these small hours, these little wonders These twisted turns of fate, time falls away, But these small hours, these small hours, still remain. All of my regret, will wash away somehow, But I cannot forgive the way I feel right now. In these small hours, these little wonders, these twisted turns of fate, All these twisted turns of fate, these twisted turns of fate Yeah, times falls away But these small hours, these small hours, still remain. They still remain, these little wonders, all these twisted turns of fate time falls away, but these small hours, these little wonders Still remain. AP:)
Herzen Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 What this Thread shows is that there's much good poetry in pop music. I appreciate the poetry and text of a good song more when the music, melody and rhythms are silent, and I can just read the text. It also says that many experiences although felt personally are indeed quite universal: love, infidelity, the bitter aftertaste of failed love, etc.

lindya Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Whenever I read this section of the site, Tim Rice's self-congratulating old cheese-fest "I know him so well" plays through my head. For instance: Wasn't it good? (Oh so good) Wasn't he fine? (Oh so fine) Isn't it madness, He won't be mine? Didn't I know? How it would go, If I knew from the start, Why am I falling apart? I remember reading that he wrote that song while he was having an affair with the singer Elaine Paige - who then went on to sing it (or part of it, given that it's a duet between a wife and a mistress) in the musical Chess.

People existing in the same space, running over the same old ground, not distinguishing a smile from a veil... but they're just lying to each other and wishing the other were 'here'. Have I missed something? I thought you were in one now--just shows that you are still hoping he will leave. LOL I do feel sorry for you.
