Great Romances of the 20th Century (Demo version) Lyrics
(spoken)
A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking Jack and Coke all morning. She can make you feel high; full of the single greatest commodity known to man: promise. Promise of a better day. Promise of a greater hope. Promise of a new tomorrow. This particular aura can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl. In her smile and in her soul.. and the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like it's going to be okay.
September never stays this cold
where I come from, and you know
I�m not one(I'm not one)
for complainin'(for complainin')
But I'd love the way you'd roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as I'd slowly fall apart
(slowly, quietly, slowly fall apart)
It's fallin apart(4x)
I said...
This won�t mean a thing come tomorrow
and that�s exactly how I�ll make it seem
Cause I'm still not sleeping
thinking I�ve crawled home from worse than this
So please, please(please)
I�m running out of sympathy(I'm running out of sympathy)
and I never said I�d take this
I never said I'd take this lying down
She says
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with�
She says
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with�
(I never said I�d take this lying down, I've crawled home from worse than this, worse than this)
She says
"come on, come on, let�s just get this over with�
She says
"come on, come on..."
come on, come on, come on
You always come close but this never comes easy,
I still know everything
You always come close but you never come easy,
I still know everything
This always comes close but you never come easy,
I still know everything
And you always come so close...so
I still know everything, I still know everything, I still know...
You always come close but this never comes easy
You always come close but you never come easy
You come in... you come in close
I never said I'd take this lying down
I never said I'd take this lying down
but I've crawled home from worse than this
If it's not keeping you up nights
then what�s the point
then what�s the point
then what�s the point
then what�s the point
I'm in your room
is this turning you on,
am I turning you on?
I'm in your room
are you turned on?
I'm on the corner of your bed,
I'm thinkin maybe,
are you turned on,
are you turned on?

i like this better than the Cd version because of the intro with the guy talking about finding the perfect girl the intro to this word so deserves spoken word
i think i have this version downloaded. this song rules!! i love how like 2 of them sing at the same time. its really awesome. i dunno of any other bands that do that. but i am sure there are. if you guys know of any send me a private message. kay. thanks.
The quote at the beginning of the song is from a movie called <i>Beautiful Girls</i>
a beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning, she can make you feel high, well the single greatest commodity known to man, a promise, a promise of a better day, a promise of a greater hope, a promise of a new tommorrow, this particular aura can be found in the gaze of a beautiful girl, in her smile and in her soul, and the way she makes every rotten thing about life seems like it's going to be ok... great intro, I love this song, great ending too, it sounds funny when you hear it until I put it in context with relationships, girl being horny as hell, so was I, but she didn't really show it, now I'm faced with it... great song
i agree with phrenchorn, i love that intro. Beautiful Girls is a movie, but i cant find it anywhere on kazaa. Is there any other way i can d/l this movie and watch it?

i like this 1 better than the album cause of the intro and because it is not over-produced (also cause its a demo, ha)
You probably can't download it. However, I'm sure that you could very easily go to the movie store and spend a couple dollars to rent it. It's also on TV sometimes, perhaps TBS or TNT. I've only seen parts of it, it doesn't look very good.
It's a great movie!! I ordered it from netflix (if you have a dvd player and like movies it's super cool) I totally recomend watching it... you'll have so much more respect for the demo version of this song too.
it's a crappy movie...but i'd rent it just to see the part with michael rappaport saying that quote cause it's so cute... the context he has it in is so much diff than the song makes it seem tho
