rest stop - matchbox twenty

Just three miles from the rest stop And she slams on the breaks She said I tried to be but I'm not And could you please collect your things I don't wanna be cold I don't wanna be cruel But I gotta find more Than what's happening with you If you'd - open up the door
She said - while you were sleeping I was listening to the radio And wondering what you're dreaming when It came to mind that I didn't care So I thought - hell if it's over I had better end it quick Or I could lose my nerve Are you listening - can you hear me Have you forgotten
Just three miles from the rest stop And my mouth's too dry to rage The light was shining from the radio I could barely see her face But she knew all the words that I never had said She knew the crumpled-up promise of this Broken down man - and as I opened up the door

ULTRA violet (light my WAY) {performed by U2}
Sometimes I feel like I don't know | Sometimes I feel like checkin' out | I want to get it wrong | Can't always be strong | And love it won't be long... | Oh sugar, don't you cry | Oh child, wipe the tears from your eyes | You know I need you to be strong | And the day is as dark as the night is long | Feel like trash, you make me feel clean | I'm in the black, can't see or be seen | Baby, baby, baby...light my way | You bury your treasure | Where it can't be found | But your love is like a secret | That's been passed around | There is a silence that comes to a house | Where no one can sleep | I guess it's the price of love | I know it's not cheap | Baby, baby, baby...light my way | I remember | When we could sleep on stones | Now we lie together | In whispers and moans | When I was all messed up | And I had opera in my head | Your love was a light bulb | Hanging over my bed | Baby, baby, baby...light my way

Simple kind of life (performed by g. stefani & no doubt)

For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn’t work out, I’m covered in shells
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife
I’m so ashamed, I’ve been so mean
I don’t know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I’m hunting you down
Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?
I always thought I’d be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you’d be a good dad
Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How’d I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life

Frog On My Toe (performed by tori amos)
Poppa I know there's a frog on my toe maybe I'll call him Jethro. maybe I'll grow up to be quite as good as he, and maybe you'll come back after you're long gone. and Poppa I'm sure the worms have eaten you now and Jethro's been on some Frenchy's plate long ago and now I'm pretty sure that I listened to every word cause I still hear you telling me still slap them boys when they're naughty make them crawl, make you haughty make you strong little girl you paint them toes that reddish color and you know one day you're gonna be bigger than a flea you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree
now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visitand talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and in funny little chants like an Indian Brave you said we all grew fat when the white men came but one day girl you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl make them grow tall but have the grace to be a lady with disgrace you fry them 'taters and you make them with lady's hands and all you're my poppy's baby
