Since the idea seemed popular in chat, the purpose of this thread is to post song dedications. They can be songs that remind you of a certain character, or a situation, or perhaps one that popped in your head while reading a certain post/thread. Feel free to share the lyrics with everyone, we only ask that you watch the swearing.
To start, I give you a bit of Bowie, just for a few obvious key lines:
David Bowie - Oh, You Pretty Things Lyrics
Wake up you sleepy head Put on some clothes, shake up your bed Put another log on the fire for me I've made some breakfast and coffee I look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the nightmares came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to No room for me, no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the Golden Ones Written in pain, written in awe By a puzzled man who questioned What we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things) Don't you know you're driving your Mothers and fathers insane Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things) Don't you know you're driving your Mothers and fathers insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look out at your children See their faces in golden rays Don't kid yourself they belong to you They're the start of the coming race The earth is a bitch We've finished our news Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things) Don't you know you're driving your Mothers and fathers insane Oh, you pretty things (oh, you pretty things) Don't you know you're driving your Mothers and fathers insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

In honor of the "Libidrox"
"Dancing With Myself"-Billy Idol
On the floor of Tokyo Or down in London town to go, go With the record selection With the mirror reflection I'm dancing with myself
When there's no-one else in sight In the crowded lonely night Well I wait so long For my love vibration And I'm dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself Oh dancing with myself Well there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove I'll be dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world And there's every type of girl But your empty eyes Seem to pass me by Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink 'Cause it'll give me time to think If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself Oh dancing with myself Well there's nothing to lose And there's nothing to prove I'll be dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world And there's every type of girl But your empty eyes Seem to pass me by Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink 'Cause it'll give me time to think If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself Oh dancing with myself If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
Dancing with myself Dancing with myself Dancing with myself Dancing with myself
If I looked all over the world And there's every type of girl But your empty eyes Seem to pass me by Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink 'Cause it'll give me time to think If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance And I'll be dancing with myself

This is about Kenny's struggles in S.H.E.I.L.D
Live to Win-Paul Stanley
Frustrated, degraded, down before you're done Rejection, depression, can't get what you want You ask me how I make my way You ask me everywhere and why You hang on every word I say But the truth sounds like a lie
Live to win 'Till you die 'Till the light dies in your eyes Live to win Take it all Just keep fighting 'till you fall
Obsessive, compulsive, suffocates your mind Confusion, delusions, kill your dreams in time You ask me how I took the pain Crawled up from my lowest low Step by step and day by day 'Till there's one last breath to go
Live to win 'Till you die 'Till the light dies in your eyes Live to win Take it all Just keep fighting 'till you fall
Day by day, kickin' all the way I'm not cavin' in Let another round begin Live to win Yeah, live, yeah, win
Yeah...
Live to win 'Till you die 'Till the light dies in your eyes Live to win Take it all Just keep fighting 'till you fall
Day by day, kickin' all the way I'm not cavin' in Let another round begin Live to win Live to win Live to win Yeah, live, yeah, win

For Kitty and Kurt. Devil's Dance Floor - Flogging MollyHer breath began to speak As she stood right in front of me The colour of her eyes Were the colour of insanity Crushed beneath her wave Like a ship, I could not reach her shore We're all just dancers on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Pressed against her face I could feel her insecurity Her mother'd been a drunk And her father was obscurity But nothin' ever came From a life that was a simple one So pull yourself together girl And have a little fun Well she took me by the hand I could see she was a fiery one Her legs ran all the way Up to heaven and past Avalon Tell me somethin' girl, what it is you have in store She said come with me now On the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor The apple now is sweet Oh much sweeter than it ought to be Another little bite I don't think there is much hope for me The sweat beneath her brow Travels all the way An' headin' south This bleedin' heart's cryin' Cause there's no way out Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Well swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, a little more next to me Swing a little more, little more o'er the merry-o Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

If Havin' a Ball was a MUSICAL, Doug would be singing this little ditty to Tatiana right now... Song: "So Alive" Recorded by "Love and Rockets" Album: "Love and Rockets" - 1989
I don't know what colour your eyes are, baby But your hair is long and brown Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long And you don't come from this town My head is full of magic, baby And I can share this with you The feel I'm on a cross again, lately But it's nothing to do with you I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive This drug makes me crazy Makes me see you more clearly. Oh, baby, now I can see you. Wish I could stop, Switch off the clock, Make it all happen for you. I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive OOOOH OOOOH Don't know what colour your eyes are, baby But your hair is long and brown Your legs are strong, and you're so, so long And you don't come from this town My head is full of magic, baby And I can share this with you The feel I'm on top again, baby That's got everything to do with you I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive I'm alive Oh Oh, so alive

I thought the "I'm a loner, but I'm never alone" line was MOST appropriate for Jamie...

For Jean and Scott. It seemed to fit their complex relationship.
Song: Little Lies Artist: Fleetwood Mac
If I could turn the page In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two (close my, close my, close my eyes) But I couldn't find a way So I'll settle for one day to believe in you (tell me, tell me, tell me lies)
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies (Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies) Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Although I'm not making plans I hope that you understand there's a reason why (Close your, close your, close your eyes) No more broken hearts We're better off apart, let's give it a try (Tell me, tell me, tell me lies)
If I could turn the page In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two (close my, close my, close my eyes) But I couldn't find a way So I'll settle for one day to believe in you (tell me, tell me, tell me lies)
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies (Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies) Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies (Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies) Oh, no, no you can't disguise (You can't disguise, no you can't disguise) Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies

This song always reminds me of Jubilee. I like the cover by the Donnas for her better though - it's got more bounce. Bad Reputation - Joan Jett I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation You're living in the past it's a new generation A girl can do what she wants to do and that's What I'm gonna do An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation Oh no not me An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation Never said I wanted to improve my station An' I'm only doin' good When I'm havin' fun An' I don't have to please no one An' I don't give a damn 'Bout my bad reputation Oh no, not me Oh no, not me I don't give a damn 'Bout my reputation I've never been afraid of any deviation An' I don't really care If ya think I'm strange I ain't gonna change An' I'm never gonna care 'Bout my bad reputation Oh no, not me Oh no, not me Pedal boys! An' I don't give a damn 'Bout my reputation The world's in trouble There's no communication An' everyone can say What they want to say It never gets better anyway So why should I care 'Bout a bad reputation anyway Oh no, not me Oh no, not me I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation You're living in the past It's a new generation An' I only feel good When I got no pain An' that's how I'm gonna stay An' I don't give a damn 'Bout my bad reputation Oh no, not me Oh no, not Not me, not me

Well, the gift for my wife [along with several other things...heh] for her birthday led me to this song, which fits Doug Ramsey in this world to a T.
Artist: Within Temptation Song: Hand Of Sorrow Album: The Heart of Everything
The child without a name grew up to be the hand To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand The choice he made he could not comprehend He’s got a grim secret they had to command
He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have passed toward a noble land of lies Will all our sins be justified
The curse of his powers tormented his life Obeying the crown was a sinister crime His soul was tortured by love and by pain He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have passed toward a noble land of lies Will all our sins be justified?
Please forgive me for the sorrow For leaving you in fear For the dreams we had to silence That’s all there’ll ever be Still, I’ll be the hand that saves you Though you’ll not see that it is me
So many dreams are broken and so much we sacrifice Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have passed toward a noble land of lies Will all our sins be justified?

For the Ragin' Cajun, this song strikes me as appropriate...
Artist: Enigma Song: Silent Warrior Album: Cross of Changes
Long ago, for many years White men came in the name of god They took their land, they took their lives A new age has just begun . They lost their gods, they lost their smile They cried for help for the last time. Liberty was turning into chains But all the white men said Thats the cross of changes . In the name of God - the fight for gold These were the changes. Tell me - is it right - in the name of god These kind of changes ? . They tried to fight for liberty Without a chance in hell, they gave up. White men won in the name of god With the cross as alibi . Theres no God who ever tried To change the world in this way. For the ones who abuse his name Therell be no chance to escape On judgement day . In the name of God - the fight for gold These were the changes. Tell me - is it right - in the name of god These kind of changes ? . Tell me why, tell me why, tell why The white men said: Thats the cross of changes ? . Tell me why, tell me why, tell why, In the name of god These kind of changes.
Also, same band, different song, even MORE appropriate, with the Rogue/Gambit angle mixed in...

for any of the males in regards to their ladies: While she lays sleeping, i stay out late at night and play my songs And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when i finally make it home, all alone While she lays dreaming, i try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says how was your night? And i come to her and say, it was all right, and i hold her tight And she believes in me, i'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, i could change the world With my little songs, i was wrong But she has faith in me, and so i go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, find a way... While she lays waiting, i stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then i see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end While she lays crying, i fumble with a melody or two And i'm torn between the things that i should do And she says to wake her up when i am through, God her love is true... And she believes in me, i'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl, i could change the world With my little songs, i was wrong But she has faith in me, and so i go on trying faithfully And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right I will find a way, while she waits... while she waits for me! www.esnips.com/doc/40d685e0-77d7-4877-beed-9ed0c466c1b7/She-Believes-In-Me
