Singing in My Sleep
by Semisonic

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes

All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose

And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a capulet
On a balcony in your mind

In the city the lion sleeps
Pray to sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice

And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

I love this song... makes me think about crushin' on a guy for a while and he gives you something that could be a very innocent exchange, but for you, it means the world. It's like you can create a whole begining, middle and end to a relationship in your dreams because of that one item. And it all happens in a dream.

The Entertainer
by Billy Joel

I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand
Another serenader and another long haired band
Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts,
But I know the game, you'll forget my name,
And I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts

I am the entertainer and I've had to pay my price
The things I did not know at first I learned by doing twice
But still they come to haunt me, still they want their say
So I've learned to dance with a hand in my pants, I let 'em rub my neck
And I write 'em a check, and they go their merry way

I am the entertainer, been all around the world
I've played all kinds of palaces and laid all kinds of girls
I can't remember faces, I don't remember names
But what the hell, you know it's just as well
'Cause after a while and a thousand miles
It all becomes the same

I am the entertainer, I bring to you my songs
I'd like to spend a day or two but I can't stay that long
I got to meet expenses, I got to stay in line
Got to get those fees to the agencies
And I'd love to stay but there's bills to pay
So I just don't have the time

I am the entertainer, I've come to do my show
You've heard my latest record, it's been on the radio
It took me years to write it, they were the best years of my life
It was a beautiful song but it ran too long
If you're gonna have a hit you gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05

I am the entertainer, the idol of my age
I make all kinds of money when I go on the stage
You see me in the papers, I've been in the magazines
But if I go cold, I won't get sold
I get put in the back in the discount rack
Like another can of beans

I am the entertainer and I know just where I stand
Another serenader and another long haired band
Today I am your champion, I may have won your hearts,
But I know the game, you'll forget my name,
I won't be here in another year
If I don't stay on the charts

Here is song #2 for Greg... I let him pick out the song this last week. So, only he could honestly tell you why he enjoys it so much. But he likes Billy Joel... so that in and of itself, may be reason enough.

Just the Way You Are
by Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
I don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

In honor of Greg's birthday, this week and next week's songs will be Billy Joel tunes. He's a pretty big fan (not a crazy fan, but pretty big) He loves the truth told in the songs. This week's song is Just the Way You Are and it's a pretty good description of his affection for me. He doesn't want me to put on aires just to get him to notice me. He doesn't need me to try and act sophisticated to get attention. He likes me just the way I am... all my faults and flaws, he loves that about me.

I Am Me
by Ashlee Simpson

What's she got that I don't have
Does she fill those spaces that I left you
When you wake up everynight
Does the scent of regret ever haunt you

Put this under your skin
I am me and I won't change for anyone
Me and I won't change for anyone
For anyone like you

Does the weight of consequence
Drag you down until it pulls you under
Does she lend an eager hand to save you
From the future of being with her
Are you with her?

Put this under her skin
I am me and I won't change for anyone
Me and I won't change for anyone
For anyone like you

Why would I, Why would I change
Why would I change
Put this under your skin

I have decided that this song is a pretty good representation of how much I hated my exboyfriend. It's a great song and I like the refrain the best:

Put this under your skin
I am me and I won't change for anyone
Me and I won't change for anyone
For anyone like you

Why should I change my ways for someone who doesn't respect me or make me feel that I am worth the change? It's been a real long time since I've dated him or anyone else. I love my hubby, and he respects who I am and all of my faults... I am me, and I don't have to change for my hubby.

Eye
by Smashing Pumpkins

I lie
I wait
I start
I hesitate
I am
I breath
I melt
I think of me
Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found these
Through you
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself feel down
Turn away from Eye
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough
I taste
I love
I call
I bleed enough
I hate
I might
I was
I want too much
Is it any wonder I can't sleep?
All I have is all you gave to me
Is it any wonder I found these
Through you
Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself feel down
Turn away from Eye
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough
Just a touch
It's not enough
Just a touch

When I can't get to sleep some nights, I love to hear this song come on. Contemplative moods strike when the lights are low and no one else knows you're awake. Being an insomniac aides in that a little too.
