All amazing.

My favorites are already named ("I know it's over," JM955's picks, etc.), but also:

"Promise:" Tracy Chapman

"One Tin Soldier:" can't remember who does it, but your parents will know

"I'll Back You Up:" Dave Matthews Band

"Angel:" The Eurythmics

"Waiting For That Day:" George Michael (although I'd never admit that I like a George Michael song!)

Better yet:

"4th of July " - X (See How We Are)

She's waitin' for me

when I get home from work

oh, but things ain't just the same

She turns out the light

and cries in the dark

won't answer when I call her name

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

She gives me her cheek

when I want her lips

but I don't have the strength to go

On the lost side of town

in a dark apartment

we gave up trying so long ago

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

What ever happened I

apologize

so dry your tears and baby

walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

The Freshmen by The Verve

very sad because i think it's written about some girl committing suicide after cheating on one of the guys in the band or maybe an abortion, think i'm getting stuff confused\

Anything by Britney and American Idol contestants makes me cry 'cause they are making more money than me for all that crap.

Girls

Girls - all I really want is girls

And in the morning it's girls

Cause in the evening it's girls

I like the way that they walk

And it's chill to hear them talk

And I can always make them smile

From White Castle to the Nile

Back in the day

There was this girl around the way

She liked by home-piece M.C.A.

He said he would not give her play

I asked him, "Please?" - he said, "You may."

Her pants were tight and that's ok

If she would dance - I would D.J.

We took a walk down to the bay

I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!"

I asked her out - she said, "No way!"

So I broke North with no delay

I heard she moved real far away

That was two years ago this May

I seen her just the other day

Jockin' Mike D. to my dismay

Girls - to do the dishes

Girls - to clean up my room

Girls - to do the laundry

Girls - and in the bathroom

Girls - that's all I really want is girls

Two at a time - I want girls

With new wave hairdos - I want girls

I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!
