Flexible
Billie Myers
Dara
She's gay, she's straight.
She's black and she's white.
She'll be anything you want her to be tonight,
[Barbie or boy],
and a little bit more.
Loverboy to lovergirl,
I'm's flexible.
She's loveable.
He's flexible,
Adorable, tonight.
Girl
Tori Amos
Dara
From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way finds a way
[...]
She's been everybody else's girl
maybe one day she'll be her own
Never the Same
Supreme Beings of Leisure
Dara
And now I'm never the same
Never the same girl twice
Oh no I'm never the same
Never the same girl twice
Not the same girl you loved last night
I Refuse
Sensefield
Dara, for Corwin
Don't say that you know me
You never knew the first thing at all
Still you should've told me
Took everything, selling it off
These holes in your story
As many as there's holes in the wall
You told me that you liked the old me
Cause the new me is telling you
I refuse
To fit into this, and lay my due
You always have, for me
I don't want to be what you want me to be
Strong Enough
Sheryl Crow
Francesca, on her type
Lie to me
I promise I'll believe
Lie to me
But please don't leave
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
It's try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Don't Tell Me
Madonna
Francesca, on impulse control
Tell me love isn't true
It's just something that we do
Tell me everything I'm not
But don't ever tell me to stop
Tell the leaves not to turn
But don't ever tell me I'll learn, no, no
Take the black off a crow
But don't tell me I have to go
Are you Happy Now?
Michelle Branch
Francesca, for Nickolai
Now, don't just walk away
Pretending everything's ok
And you don't care about me
And I know it's just no use
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care
Could you look me in the eye?
And tell me that you're happy now
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
You took all there was to take,
And left me with an empty plate
And you don't care about it, yeah.
And I am giving up this game
And leaving you with all the blame 'cause I don't care.
Fallen
Sarah McLachlan
Francesca, on loneliness
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our back the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
[...]
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Kiss Off
Violent Femmes
Francesca, to the Aristocracy of Begma
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
[...]
I take one one one 'cause you left me
And two two two for my family
And three three three for my heartache
And four four four for my headaches
And five five five for my loneliness
And six six six for my sorrow...
Escape
Balligomingo
Martin
Drag me kicking, screaming
Torn red, revealing
My escape
How Soon is Now?
The Smiths
Martin
I am the son and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar;
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular.
Where the Birds Always Sing
The Cure
Martin
an endless sense of soul and an eternity of love
a sweet mother down below and a just father above
Why Not?
Hillary Duff
Emilia
You always dress in yellow
when you wanna dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told
Naked Eye
Luscious Jackson
Dara
Last night I came into your home
To break some ice and throw some stones
I asked if we could be alone
I had some troubles of my own
Knew I had to say goodbye
To all the old things held inside
If I let the moment fly
I knew they'd all be magnified
I Am Your Garden
NaNOBeAT
Zarina
I am your garden
your tempest torn garden
but I long not for gentle rains
only dark threatening skies.
I Say
Happy Rhodes
Martin
But I must stand and speak my name,
Or be forced to live up to your dreams.
[...]
If people speak in my stead,
Do not trust everything that is said.
Dirty Work
Steely Dan
Martin
Like the castle in its corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same
Reflections
Christina Aguilera
Dara
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
Opera Singer
Cake
Leonora
Some people, they call me monster
Some people, they call me saint
My talent feeds my darker side
Yet no one will complain
