my life in song

Today is kind of dreary weatherwise and jobwise. So I'm trying to keep myself active to keep from getting too glum with myself. Lately I've noticed a lot of song lyrics seem to relate to my life as this blog knows it. And I've been thinking that I should maybe include some of them in my post. But by the end of the day when I write here, I tend to have forgotten about whatever song had touched on my life earlier in the day. The following are the lyrics that have seemed relevant to me in the past few weeks.

"When I awoke today, suddenly nothing happened,
But in my dreams, I slew the dragon," Colin Hay, 'Waiting for My Real Life to Begin"

"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to
Relax, slip away," Tool, 'Stinkfist'

"Can you imagine, for a second
doing anything, just 'cos you want to?
Well, that's just what I do
so hooray for me, and fuck you," Bad Religion, 'Hooray for me'

"Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing.
I'm very scared for this world.
I'm very scared for me," R.E.M., 'You Are the Everything'

"But time is not given and time is not taken.
It just sifts through itself," Regina Spektor, 'Buildings'

"And I am a writer, writer of fictions," The Decemberists, 'The Engine Driver'

"I used to be the bright one,
top in my class.
Funny what they give you when you
just learn how to ask," The Dresden Dolls, 'The Perfect Fit'

Ok. I've put you through enough of this for now. From here on out, I'll try to post lyrics like this when they come up instead of in a big chunk.
