a couple of possible gate songs - Norgarth - 07-14-2006 Talking Heads - "Road to Nowhere" Well we know where we're goin But we don't know where we've been And we know what were knowin But we can't say what we've seen And were not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride I'm feelin' okay this mornin' And you know, We're on the road to paradise Here we go, here we go Chorus Maybe you wonder where you are I don't care Here is where time is on our side Take you there...take you there We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere We're on a road to nowhere There's a city in my mind Come along and take that ride And it's all right, baby, it's all right And it's very far away But it's growing day by day And it's all right, baby, it's all right They can tell you what to do But they'll make a fool of you And its all right, baby, its all right We're on a road to nowhere ********************* Ozzy Osbourne - "Road to Nowhere" I was looking back on my life And all the things I've done to me I'm still looking for the answers I'm still searching for the key Chorus The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me It just won't leave me alone I still find it all a mystery Could it be a dream? The road to nowhere leads to me Through all the happiness and sorrow I guess I'd do it all again Live for today and not tomorrow It's still the road that never ends Chorus Ah ah The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by Ah ah I hope we never have to say goodbye I never want to live without you Chorus ************** A pair of possible gate songs, although I suspect Doug would be wary about a world that Ozzie's version brings him to. The talking Heads version is more upbeat.__________________ I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe. ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin Re: a couple of possible gate songs - Bob Schroeck - 07-14-2006 The Talking Heads one is a song that I've been wanting to do something with for a while -- possibly paired with the B-52s "Roam"... -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... Re: a couple of possible gate songs - Bluemage - 07-19-2006 Could be used to leave DW-VII, VIII,or BSSM. They all have school contexts, after all. */ Vitamin C, "Graduation Song", 5:40 /* And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now cause you don't have another day Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of the night in June I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon And There was me and you, and then it got real blue Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and We would get so excited, we'd get so scared Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels Chorus: As we go on, we remember All the times we had together And as our lives change, from whatever We will still be, friends forever So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money When we look back now, will that joke still be funny? Will we still remember everything we learned in school? Still be trying to break every single rule Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man? Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan? I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly And this is how it feels Repeat chorus La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now? Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow? I guess I thought that this would never end And suddenly it's like we're women and men Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round? Will these memories fade when I leave this town I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye Keep on thinking it's a time to fly Repeat chorus 3x "Graduation" and 'going away' are synonymous, when you're talking about a school, after all.

Re: a couple of possible gate songs - Bluemage - 07-22-2006 How about for leaving DW-EVA? The apocalyptic references work, the time seems to not be an issue (depends on when DW-SKU is set ), and the mood seems decently cheerful enough. */ Prince, "1999" /* I was dreamin' when I wrote this Forgive me if it goes astray But when I woke up this mornin' Could have sworn it was judgment day The sky was all purple There were people runnin' everywhere Tryin' to run from the destruction You know I didn't even care They say two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999! I was dreamin' when I wrote this So sue me if I go too fast But life is just a party And parties weren't meant to last War is all around us My mind says prepare to fight So if I gotta die I'm gonna listen to my body tonight They say two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999! 1999! If you didn't come to party Don't bother knockin' on my door I got a lion in my pocket And baby, he's ready to roar Yeah, everybody's got a bomb We could all die any day But before I'll let that happen I'll dance my life away They say two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! (We're runnin' outta time) So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! Say, say, Two thousand zero, zero, party over, Oops, out of time! So tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999! Alright, it's 1999! You say it, 1999! 1999! 1999! Don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time! 1999! (Ten points if you know why I even bothered to look at this song!)

Re: a couple of possible gate songs - Bob Schroeck - 07-25-2006 Actually, I was thinking of this as a variety of attack song. The version I had on tape for many many years ended with either Wendy or Lisa plaintively repeating several times, "Mommy? Why does everybody have a bomb?" -- Bob --------- ...The President is on the line As ninety-nine crab rangoons go by... |
