I'm too lazy to find a YouTube video. This thread reminded me of a line in an Allman Brothers song: "if you don't want to love me somebody else will." Ironically the song is "Good Clean Fun" Oh, yeah. Easily applicable. Well I am on the prowl, baby Looking for someone to satisfy my needs. Some way, somehow, I'm gonna find someone to spend some time with me. I ain't looking, out forever, for some woman to treat a good man right. You look so good, you got me thinking. You might satisfy my soul tonight. There's no harm done, I know you're the one You don't got to worry, no hurry. The night's still young, I'm just looking for some good clean fun. I am looking for one woman, Ain't always tryin' to put me down. I don't want nobody, Who's always givin me that same old run around. I ain't leapin'. I'm just leanin', Looking for that good kind thing. I can tell by the way you're acting, you know exactly what I mean. There's no harm done, I know you're the one. You don't got to worry, no hurry The night's still young, I'm just looking for some good clean fun. I better slow down, I don't wanna move too soon, I'm so confused, I don't know what to do. Please don't think I am movin' in for the kill, But if you don't want to love me somebody else will. I better slow down, I don't wanna move to soon, I'm so confused, I don't know what to do. Please don't think I am moving out for the kill, If you don't want to love me somebody else will. There's no harm done, I know you're the one. You don't got to worry, no hurry The night is still young, I'm just looking for some good clean fun. Some good clean fun...ohh, baby. Just looking for some good clean fun........... |

"I Scare Myself" by Thomas Dolby
A man in a sexless marriage is just about to take drastic measures when his wife has reset sex with him.
I scare myself just thinking about you
I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself when I let my thoughts run
And when they're running
I keep thinking of you
And when they're running
What can I do?
I scare myself and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself, it can get frightening
I scare myself to think what I could do
I scare myself, it's some kind of voodoo
And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?
And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?
But it's so, so very different when we're together
And I'm so, so, so much calmer, I feel better
'Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever
And the sooner that we realize it, the better
And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself

Those with a hall pass or the "staying but straying" group can appreciate "Get Some Strange" by Shark Island.

"Broken" by The Guess Who
This one speaks to refused men.
Take the spell away and turn me back into a man
An' give me credit, ya know I'm doin' all I can
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me and leave it here for just a while
Show the end to me and see if I can fake a smile
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
I don't have to fear, nobody else is here
Don't have to see, I know what I wanna be
Don't have to make an explanation to you
It's true, the deeper the drillin' goes
Shows how much the best of the better knows
That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew
And I've been broken too
Just like you
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me

Vertigo by Khalid
If you're sad or bummed, maybe save this for later. It presents pain a little too well.
Are we better off believing
What the ignorance suggests?
I wish living life was easy (Mhm)
But mine has been a mess
They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)
But the seasons come and go (They go)
I go blurry when I'm thinking
Is it me or vertigo?
[Pre-Chorus]
Criticized, who am I to give up?
I’m breathing, what's the reason to let up?
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite get up
[Chorus]
Are we alive?
Or are we dreaming?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Darker days, brighter endings)
Or are we dreaming? (Darker days, brighter endings)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Darker days, brighter endings)
Yeah
I've been better off than broken
I’ve been battered, I've been beat
I wish I was more outspoken
But the words are out of reach
Hmm, thought I loved you in the moment
I was happy, I was young
I've been learning, I've been growing
But the worst is yet to come
[Pre-Chorus]
Criticized, who am I to give up? (Who am I?)
I'm breathing, what's the reason to let up?
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite get up
[Chorus]
Are we alive?
Or are we dreaming?
After the ride
Are you leaving?
Are we alive? (Darker days, brighter endings)
Or are we dreaming? (Darker days, brighter endings)
After the ride
Are you leaving? (Darker days, brighter endings)
Yeah
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been falling with my
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I’ve been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I’ve been falling with my
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I’ve been falling with my (Vertigo)
Eyes closed, eyes closed (Vertigo)
I've been falling with my (Vertigo)
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been, I've been, I’ve been
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been falling with my
Eyes closed, eyes closed
I've been falling with my
Eyes low, eyes low
I've been falling with my

Two from U2:
ONE
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame?
You say, one love, one life
When it's one need in the night
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well, it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one but we're not the same
Well, we hurt each other then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life with each other
Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same
We get to carry each other, carry each other
One
One
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-ooh
Baby, make it, make it
Higher
Oh, higher (baby, yeah)
Higher
Higher
STUCK IN A MOMENT
I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you (Ooh)
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see
You are such a fool
To worry like you do. Oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep
I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down, to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony paths
And if, and if the night runs over
And if, the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony paths
It's just a moment
This time will pass

Barely Breathing
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me goin', wishing on a star
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must've been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious
If you have to ask me why I say goodbye
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
And everyone keeps asking, "What's it all about?"
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
Nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
I've come to find I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don't come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price
You're worth the price, the price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway
I'm thinking it over anyway
And I know what you're doin'
I see it all too clear

i song I totally relate to my issue is Flowers by Miley Cyrus
[Verse 1]
We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can't be sold
We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn
[Pre-Chorus]
Mm, I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
[Chorus]
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
[Post-Chorus]
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
[Verse 2]
Paint my nails cherry-red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said
Ooh, I didn't wanna leave you, baby, I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
[Chorus]
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

I like 80s glam/hair rock and a few of those songs come to mind:
“Look but you can’t touch.” by Poison
“Never enough” by L.A. Guns
“It’s not love” by Dokken

Guns “It’s not love” by Dokken I'm also a fan of hair/glam metal (some of it really obscure...see my previous post from Shark Island). Dammit, now I'm going to be sifting through my playlists. Off the top of my head is "Nobody's Fool" by Cinderella and "House of Broken Love" by Great White. |
