I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson

Little miss, little miss, little miss can't be wrong
Wha'tcha gonna do to get into another one of these here rock 'n' roll songs?

Nerd Anthem, Marian Call

All the cool kids keep enthusiasm rationed
Right down to the last explosive ounce
But I’d rather indulge my many passions
Even if my squaritude is overly pronounced

Perhaps I do not strike you as a geek
Without the horn-rimmed glasses or knee-high argyle socks
But nerdery is more than wardrobe-deep
And I’m a nerd down in my heart, and that’s where nerdhood rocks

Oh, I’m better acquainted than a good girl ought to be
With Aragorn and Yo-Saff-Bridge and Worf and HAL and Han
But you don’t really know me and my culture don’t control me
So don’t you pigeonhole me, cuz my phaser’s set to stun

Oh, I have been a nerd since long before I could have heard that
Bookish girls should look and act a certain way
And I’ll still be a geek when I am utterly antique
Because I do not care what normal people say

My superpower’s draining fun from parties
But if I am a misfit then I’m in good company
With Auden, Austen, Hawking, Galileo, and Van Gogh
And countless other weirdos whom you really ought to know

So stow your expectations — no — I won’t fix your PC
And I don’t mind being underrated or ignored
The world is much too interesting to entertain ennui
So I will never play it cool, and I will never once be bored

Oh, I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard that
Pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend
And I’ll still be a geek after nobody thinks it’s chic
Because I don’t require approval in the end

In aught-four, D-Kwon’s Dance Grooves swept the country
And suddenly old moon boots were Italian haute couture
Time Magazine reported that our hour had finally come
I guess they didn’t know that we already run the world

Oh, I have been a nerd since my first (five-syllable) word
And no TV series or movie changes that
And I’ll still be a geek now Vote for Pedro’s so last week
I do not care whether Milan endorses plaid

Oh, I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend
And I’ll still be a geek after nobody thinks it’s chic
You will find that I have nothing to defend
Oh, I don’t need your approval in the end

Swingin' the Alphabet!
B-A-bay, B-E-bee, B-I-bicky-bi, B-O bo, bicky-bi bo, B-U bu, bicky bi bo bu.

When you greet a stranger look at his shoes
Keep your money in your shoes put your trouble behind
When you greet a stranger look at her hands
Keep your money in your hands put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head home is a long way away
At the end of the day, I'll forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away

When you greet a stranger, look at her shoes
Keep you memories in your shoes, put your travel behind
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away
At the end of the day, when there are no friends
When there are no lovers, who are you going to call for
What do you have to change

A familiar face a foreign place I forget your name
I'd like it here if I could leave and see you from a long way away
Who are you going to call for, what do you have to say
Keep your hat on your head
Home is a long way away

-- Good Advices, R.E.M.

O Superman. O Judge. O Mom and Dad.

...when force is gone, there's always Mom.

Hi Mom!

Whoa Black Betty, Bam ba lam
Whoa Black Betty, Bam ba lam
She's From Burlyham, bam ba lam
Went down in Alabam, bam ba lam
Well, She's shaking that thing, Bam ba lam
Oh she makes me sing, Bam ba lam
Whoa Black Betty, Bam ba lam
Whoa Black Betty, Bam ba lam

Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy
Slow ride, take it easy

I'm in the mood
The rhythm is right
Move to the music
We can roll all night

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let it drag you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
...to your heart

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...

How much does it cost? I'll buy it!
The time is all we've lost- I'll try it!
But he can't even run his own life
I'll be damned if he'll run mine!

Sunshine go away today,
I don't feel much like dancing

Welcome to the grand illusion!
Come on in and see what's happening!
Pay the price!
Get your tickets for the show!!

"I'm never coming back!" they heard him cry

...and I believe him

Well, he never meant to do anything wrong
It's gonna get worse if he waits too long

Billy, Billy don't lose my number
'Cos you're not anywhere that I can find you

Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl!

Hi Mom!

It's a long story but I've been looking for this song for almost 30 years...Thanks Kenny!

...don't analyze what I'm doing here!

wanna be impulsive? reckless?

...but now you're running away with my heart!

MY HEART!!!

Too much magic bus!

IwantitIwantitIwantitIwantitIwantitIwantit...

YOU CAIN'T HAVE IT!

I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed,
Someone's taken my place!

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart...

Darkness makes me fumble for a key to a door that's wide open...

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

Sonny, if you want it, here it is come and get it!

The low rider is a little higher...

Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear...

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front

You may hate me but it ain't no lie,
Baby Bye, bye, bye...


Bye Bye!

Nobody told me there'd be days like these

Strange days indeed
strange days indeed.

Everybody's runnin'
and no one makes a move

Everyone's a winner
and no one seems to lose.

You don't have to be born into this society
You pay for love, but the hate comes free

...You get so stoned you think you could fly
But you won't get high on the low life

I remember finding out about you
Every day, my mind is all around you

Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I give my love to you...

You know the demon's in the design
A good idea at the time

Yeah, seemed like a good idea at time

If I knew all about this one thing,
Wouldn't that be something?

I don't want to be the girl you tame
an oddity, locked away somewhere safe.

What's all these crazy questions they askin' me?
This is the craziest party there could ever be
Don't turn on the lights, 'cause I don't want to see

Mama told me not to come...

I seen so many things
I ain't never seen before
I don't know what it is
somebody shut that door

Mama told me not to come...

I dreamed I was in a hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind!

Spill the wine, take that pearl!

...And everyone but me is destined just to be
Slaves to the remorseless grind

But I found myself an easy way out,
Sticking that givling djoy into my arms

Into my arms

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Givin' up, givin' up givin' a givl!

Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole?

The mountain is high, the valley is low
and you're confused 'bout which way to go
So I flew in to give you a hand
and lead you into the promised land

Come on and take a free ride (free ride)
come on and take it by my side
come on and take a free ride!

Born under a bad sign
I been down since I began to crawl

If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all...

My love is a flame that burns in your name
We'll be together
