Literature Text

Having looked around, I found several songs that I felt matched each of my characters. It's an interesting idea, so I figured I may as well share it. Most people just have snippets or a verse or so but some (like Emily) had a whole song that matched for them. Anyone have any alternatives?

Oh, and if you haven't finished the series you're probably not going to get some of these. Just warning.


Cameron - Anything But Ordinary

To walk within the lines,
Would make my life so boring.
I want to know that I have been, to the extreme...

So knock me off my feet,
Come on now, give it to me.
Anything to make me feel alive...


Kieran - Being Boring

'Cause we were never being boring
We had too much time to find for ourselves
And we were never being boring
We dressed up and fought, and thought: 'Make amends'
And we were never holding back, worried that
Time would come to an end
We were always hoping that, looking back
You could always rely on a friend.


Jess - Skies The Limit [sic]

The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do,
I'll think about you
How can we fail?

Sooner or later,
I'll keep the promise
I made you.
Sooner or later,
It will be greater
Than we ever knew...

The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do,
I'll think about you
How can we fail?


Danny - Grow Up

I don't wanna be told to grow up,
And I don't wanna change,
I just wanna have fun.
I don't wanna be told to grow up,
And I don't wanna change,
So you'd better give up
'Cause I'm not gonna change,
I don't wanna grow up.


Jack - On Top

'Cause I've been down,
Across a road or two
But now I've found, the velvet sun
That shines on me and you

In the back, oh-oh, I can't crack
We're on top.
It's just a shimmy and a shake, oh-oh, I can't fake
We're on top,
We're on top


Alex - Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere                                      The Best at Being the Worst (slightly adapted)

I can go anyway (Way I choose)                                          Harry: We're the best, at being the worst!
I can live anyhow (Win or lose)                                                            
I can go anywhere (For something new)                               We're officially number one...
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose.                                  Russell: Yeah, one hundred percent,
                                                                                     Louise: Incompetent,
I can do anything (Right or wrong)                                       Harry: Hey, that's never been done!
I can talk anyhow (And get along)
Don't care anyway (I never lose)                                         We're very good, at being very bad
Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose...                                 It's our rate of success that's sadly been weak
                                                                                     Louise: We'll just have to accept,
                                                                                     Alex: We're completely inept
                                                                                     Harry: That's what makes us so unique.
                                                                                                       
                                                                                     Alex: We're so bad that it's a crime,
                                                                                     Russell: We crash and burn each and every time
                                                                                     Louise: Masters of disaster!
                                                                                     Russell: No-one screws up faster!
                                                                                     Alex: Hey,
                                                                                     All: At failure we shiiiiine!

                                                                                    We're an imperfect ten
                                                                                    We've gone and blown it all again,
                                                                                    So I guess we're just cursed?
                                                                                    Harry: And you heard it here first
                                                                                    All: We're the best, at being the worst!

                                                                                   Who'd guess we'd get so far?
                                                                                   Russell: By being completely sub-par
                                                                                   Louise: As losers we've raised the bar
                                                                                   All: Now we're superstars!

                                                                                  We're the best, at being the worst!
                                                                                  Alex: At coming in last, we're always the first!
                                                                                  Russell: Our flaws are top-drawer
                                                                                  Harry: We define Murphy's Law!
                                                                                  All: We're the best at being the worst!
                                                                                  We're totally immersed
                                                                                  And incredibly well-versed!

                                                                                  We're the best, at being the worst!



Max - What's My Age Again?

I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne, to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV,

And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're 23
And are still more amused by TV shows,
What the hell is ADD?

My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?


Stuart - Mr. Wonderful (More like how Stuart sees himself...)

Hey, Mr Wonderful,
Oh, you're so incredible
Hey, Mr Wonderful,
Wonderful to me.
Hey, Mr Wonderful,
Oh, you're irresistible
Hey, Mr Wonderful,
A miracle to me...


Lizzy - Good To Be Bad

Pigtails,
The cutest smiles,
But it's all delusion.

Kneesocks,
The sweetest eyes,
It's just a grand illusion.

When they're bad
They just get better
Like saints full of sin
And again the constrictor queens
Will shed their skin

All the naughty lordi girls,
They know it's good to be bad.
They're gonna claw before they purr
They know it's good,
Good to be bad.


Luke - I'm Just A Kid

I woke up, it was seven
I waited 'til eleven,
Just to figure out that no one would call.
I think I've got a lot of friends but I don't hear from them
What's another night all alone?
When you're spending everyday on your own
And here it goes,

I'm just a kid, and life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid, I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares cause I'm alone and the world is
Having more fun than me, tonight.


Emily - When You're Evil

When the Devil is too busy,
And death's a bit too much
They call on me by name, you see
For my special touch.
To the gentlemen, I'm Miss Fortune
To the ladies, I'm Sir Prise
But call me by any name
Anyway, it's all the same...

I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm a bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm a pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wriggle and writhe

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil,
And I do it all for free...
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.

While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
While there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
I'll be there, I'll be waiting round the corner
It's a game, I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil,
And I do it all for free...
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.

I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start

And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

...It gets so lonely, being evil
What I'd do to see a smile,
Even for a little while.
And no one loves you when you're evil...

I'm lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need.


Alice - Alice

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down,
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it.
I, I won't cry.

I'll play the game,
But I can't stay
I've got my head on straight
And I'm not gonna change.
I'm not gonna change...

I'll win the race,
Keep up with the pace.
Today's the day
That I start to pray.
You can't get in my way
No...

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashin' down,
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop it.
I, I won't cry.


Louie - We Got A Hit

We got our folks together,
We broke down barriers
We found a dream to dream,
We were the carriers.

We got rich and famous,
Papers at our door
We talked a load of crap,
They just all wanted more.

We got a hit!
(Good news, we got a hit.)
We got a hit!
(Good news, we got a hit.)
We got a hit!
(Good news, we got a hit.)
We got a hit!
(Good news...)

We got a hit!


Mark - Animal I Have Become

I can't escape this hell,
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare,
I can't control myself...

So what if you can see, the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become.
Help me believe, it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal.


Tiffany and Garret - Double Trouble

We're Team Rocket, and we fight for what's wrong,
For mayhem, and madness, and rare Pokemon
Jessie: I'm so gorgeous!
James: I'm always the man
Giovanni: You're just the players in my masterplan.

We're always gonna try it,
No-one can deny it
We could cause a riot in Sunday school (James: Ooh, a riot!)
And we'll have you believing,
Truth can be deceiving.
'Do unto others' is our golden rule...

Jessie (spoken): This is our most ingenious plan ever, if I do say so myself!
James (spoken): Even we couldn't screw this one up, Jessie.
Meowth (spoken): Would you two stop yapping? Here they come!
(Prepare for trouble...)


Travis - The Zephyr Song                                                          Fruits Basket Opening (For Fruits Basket)

Fly away on my zephyr,                                                            I was so happy when you smiled,
I feel it more then ever                                                            Your smile breaks through the clouds of grey,
And in this perfect weather,                                                      Far from the sunny days that lie in sleep...
We'll find a place together.                                                       Waiting with patience for the spring,
In the water where the scent of my emotion,                               When the flowers will bloom renewed again,
All the world will pass me by                                                     Knowing there's more beyond the pain of today.
Fly away on my zephyr,
We'll find a place together.                                                       Although the scars of yesterday remain,
                                                                                           You can go on living as much as your heart believes
Fly away on my zephyr,                                                           You can't be born again, although you can change
I feel it more then ever                                                            Let's stay together, always.
And in this perfect weather,
We'll find a place together.
In the water where the scent of my emotion,
All the world will pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr,
We're gonna live forever...


Anti-Cam - I Might Be Wrong

I might be wrong
I might be wrong
I could've sworn I saw a light,
Coming on.

I used to think
I used to think
There was no future left at all,
I used to think...
I think this post explains itself, really.

Whenever Emily started a fight, I always envisioned more of a "Bombs for Throwing at You" approach, but I think the one you got was probably best in terms of lyrics.
