Liz’s Movie—In Music!

I think we all believe that we’re the heroes of this one big movie with the whole world as the setting and everybody else as supporting actors. In our eyes, we can never be that dude who got the minor part of playing, I don’t know, the janitor who got killed early because he knew too much. We’d always be the hero who saves the world, or at least knows how to, in theory. The start may be a little sleepy but we hope the movie gets better in the end to get our money’s worth. 

But a movie is not complete without the OST! So heres’s mine. In shuffle. Yeah, meme.

Opening credits: Less Than Jake- Overrated

Everybody’s so afraid to be different
Please excuse me now if I don’t get it

I think sex is overrated
So is always getting wasted
Designer drugs and dead end jobs and
Classic rock is so outdated
I’m so sick of therapy and all the things it’s done to me
How can I be satisfied when everything is overrated?

I swear I’m not this angsty. But who knows?

Waking up: Barbie’s Cradle- Shiny Red Balloon

Maybe it’s not true

Love on the tv

Just like we imagined it

And it’s so hard to do

There’s always some distraction

A shiny red balloon it ruins everything

I’m usually happy on mornings. 

Falling in love: Stars- One More NIght

try as he might he’s unable to speak
he grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
the bed is unmade like everything is
dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
take me like that, ruin it all
then build it again by the light in the hall
he drops to his knees says please my love, please
i’ll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won’t freeze

Breaking up: The Killers- Mr. Brightside

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this

It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss.

Life: Eyes on Me- Final Fantasy VIII theme song

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you’re never hurt
As if you’re never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure?
If frown is shown, then
I will know that you are no dreamer

Getting back together: Cartel- Last Chance

This is me calling you out for all these built up superstitions.
They haunt me now and then.
For just a little light down here… I would run,
I would cross a thousand seas.
And in our perfect world you world wait at the other side.
I know that you, you’ll follow up with all the answers if you were there for me at all

Wedding: Dynamite Boy- I Want It That Way

You are my fire, the one desire

Believe me when I say

I want it that way

Birth of a child: The Get Up Kids- Overdue

You’re a few years overdue

I spent them waiting here for you

Final battle: The Dresden Dolls- Dirty Business

Raise your glass
We have incorporated
Place your bets
We’re all so sick of waiting
Queen takes jack
You got me this time but i"ll get you back
So pick a number

She’s the kind of girl who looks for love in all the lonely places
The kind who comes to poker pockets stuffed with kings and aces
She’s the kind of girl who only asks you over when its raining
Just to make you lie there catching water dripping from the ceiling

One of my favorite songs of all time!

Death scene: Tori Amos- Taxi Ride

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha.
Lily is dancing on the table.
We’ve all been pushed too far.
I guess on days like this you know who your friends are.
Just another dead fag to you, that’s all.
Just another light missing on a long taxi ride, taxi ride.

How apt, ha.

End credits: Marilyn Monroe- Diamonds Are A Girl’s Bestfriend

The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won’t pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped
These rocks don’t lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

Panalo! 

Okay, back to work.
