For a friend . .

Lotsa Love and Luck! ! !

I posted that as I was collecting my crap to head out the door for work. The following really needs to go along with it. (Took me 5 plays to get to work and I turned off the player as the last one ended pullin' into the parkin' lot. {-; )

Usually, I think of my step kid when listening to this song (volume cranked, of course) but I hope it'll someday be true for me as well. Even if that someone is only my self.
Foo Fighters Best Of You

I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

Are you gone and onto someone new
I needed somewhere to hang my head without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have but had no use
I was too weak to give in, too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again but I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
but I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in, no I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

Has someone taken your faith
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust,
You must,
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

Oh right . .

Oh, o' oh
Oh, o' oh

Has someone taken your faith
It's real, the pain you feel
The life, the love you die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust,
You must,
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

I’ve got another confession my friend, I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again, somewhere new
Were you born to resist or be abused
I swear I’ll never give in, I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you

Has someone taken your faith
It's real, the pain you feel
You trust,
You must,
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you
BTW, the linked site says there's a video with it, but I can't tell if that's so cuz o' my work's firewall. Check it out if it's there. It's really one of those tunes on my All Time Top 10 list.

  5. Hey MB, Love that song, too.

    But, now that I'm done crying -- how in the HECK did that happen? 15? My God! I was just 15!

  6. Hey BG, I dig it... {sniff} {sniff} {sigh}

    lol!

    but still... Cable guy came out yesterday and we had to go up on the roof to find where my line-in was damaged (boy was it!) but we talked 'bout all kinds o' things, and when I told the 20something dude I'm 41 he was like, no freakin' way. Man did I feel sad instead of glad that I look younger than I am.

    Why the hell'd I waste all those years instead of .... blah blah blah, eh.

    Startin' clubbing on my 41rst b-day is only one way I'm trying to do that. That will get weird pretty quick (I couldn't hang w/ 20 yo hotties when I was 20! lol!) but the idea is sound: Enjoy Life Now. At least we'll never be our parents' age.

    ;-)

  7. I love that song but every time I hear it I think of Rev. Run singing it over and over on Runs House.

  8. Can you imagine how glad I am that I don't know who Rev. Run is?
