There she stood
She was a vision a picture of perfection
So I made the big decision
I'm going to talk to her

I have to show to her
It could be magic
And I got the nerve up
So went over there

She was a goddess
I had to show to her
I could be her Adonis
At first sight I knew she was my destiny

The first time the feeling has come over me
Intimidation, feared rejection
I need to make a love connection
Then the unexpected had occurred
And then it happened

And she spoke
And it all just went to hell
Her personality quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned

That I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
If she don't shut up

I'm gonna throw up
All over her shoes

How could it be?
That such a goddess
Would ever talk to me
And make me nauseous

All the things she said
Just echoed in my head
I thought she was an angel
But it was all just misread

Every word was terrible
And made it more unbearable
And made me have to leave
The f-ing room

And it's all because she spoke
Tortured by her words
Such a pretty shithead
That I wished I never heard

Perfect on the outside
But fucked on the in
How can god be so cruel?
It's got to be a sin

I had to plug my ears
Until she disappears
So I can cry
Waahh!

And it's all because she spoke
It all just went to hell
Her personality quickly broke the spell
So disillusioned

That I came to the conclusion
She was garbage wrapped in loveliness
Leaving me so unimpressed
I was destined to learn my lesson
And I learned it well

Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
Never fall in love till you go through her purse
Never think she's perfect till you talk to her first
And I should know

    I like this song. I think we've all wanted to talk to that really beautiful person and then they speak and ruin everything. Personality is definatly a lot better than looks

    my friend really liked this girl (and i'm not sure why...she's not even really attractive) but he said "on paper she's like perfect, she's a good student, she's a runner (he's a runner too) she's attractive (i beg to differ)...but her personality ruins everything." so i told him the lyrics of this song...and after he stoped laughing he said "exactly"

    Hah, what makes you think she's stuck up? She could just be really dumb or racist or something. I'd hate those qualities in someone more.

    Oh, and it takes me about three minutes to get up in the morning, and I'm female.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
