A

[kellinator]

(the Barenaked Ladies)

A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a loveable drunk
A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
it's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention

Chorus:
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour

And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"

A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me.
I owe you an apology I'm sorry

And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

You sound like a chick who had high expectations of her friday evening which didn't materialize. Why don't you tell us what you are really feeling rather than quoting some pop band and not adding you personal insight?

We want to know what you think, elsewise we wouldn't read. If I wanted to read BNL lyrics, would I not listen to a CD? You have the education; you have the words; you have the feelings. Express yourself! You are who we want to hear from, Kellinator. You have a fan club out here you know. We like to hear your thoughts. But if you'd rather parrot some goofy canadrians...

Wow.

I'm really, really touched and honored to learn that I have a fan club. Really.

I started to write out everything I was feeling last night, but I deleted it before I got very far. Let's just say that I was in a very bad mood, and decided at the last minute that I didn't want to post it right then. Maybe I will next time.

Finally, Anonymous, thank you. Knowing you are reading this makes a difference. I do hope that at some point you will honor me by revealing your identity, but if you wish to remain anonymous, I'll do my best to respect that.

because sometimes you want to just stick some lyrics in your journal.

sometimes you stick comics in. sometimes you just want to stick in Eminem's opinions about Donny Osmond (he was a fan in the 70s).

sometimes a song is how you're feeling at the time. Juliana and Andrew, for example, post almost entirely lyrics some weeks, because they feel things that way. Nothing wrong with it. I tend to start with lyrics and then from there write about them. But sometimes, you don't want to. Sometimes they're not even making you feel anything, you just like them and want to remember you were listening to that song that day, because, if you feel things that way, if reading lyrics keys aural memory, and that reminds you of the 'feel' of that day, a lyric line can bring back an entire night more than 1000 words.

the journal is, in the end, about what the person writing it wants to remember, not about what you want to pry out of her.

Meaning?

Cool song. Never heard of it before.

But what point are you trying to make? Do you feel you are one of those people? If so, why? If not, why not?
