MaryJane Mark? Hi. I told her not to call you. That's Maureen, but can I help since I'm here? I've hired an engineer. Great! Well, it's nice to have.. Wait! ... She's three hours late. The samples won't delay but the cable - There's another way. Say something. Anything. Test one, two three... Anything but that. This is weird. It's weird. Very weird. Fuckin' weird. I'm so mad that I don't know what to do. Fighting with microphones freezing down to my bones and to top it all off I'm with you.. Feel like going insane? Got a fire in your brain? And you're thinking of drinking gasoline? As a matter of fact.. Honey, I know this act - it's called the tango Maureen. The Tango Maureen, it's a dark dizzy merry-go-round. As she keeps you dangling You're wrong Your heart she is mangling.. It's different with me And you toss and you turn 'cause her cold eyes can burn yet you yearn and you churn and rebound. I think I know what you mean. The tango Maureen. Has she ever pouted her lips and called you - pookie ? Never. Have you ever doubted a kiss or two? This is spooky. Did you swoon when she walked through the door? Every time. So be cautious. Did she moon over other boys-? More than moon. I'm getting nauseous. It's hard to do this backwards. You should try it in heels. She cheated. She cheated. Maureen cheated. Fuckin' cheated. I'm defeated, I should give up right now. Gotta look on the bright side with all of your might. I'd fall for her still anyhow. When you're dancing her dance, you don't stand a chance, her grip of romance makes you fall. So you think, 'Might as well' 'Dance a tango to hell' 'At least I'll have tangoed at all' The tango Maureen - gotta dance til your diva is through. You pretend to believe her, 'cause in the end you can't leave her. But the end it will come, still you'll have to play dumb til you're glum and you bum and turn blue. Why do we love when she's mean? And she can be so obscene Try the mike My Maureen (een.. een..) Patched. Thanks. You know - I feel great now! I feel lousy. The tango: Maureen! 001105 ... hedwig.child mimi what's the time? well it's gotta be close to MIDNIGHT. my body's talking to me, it says time for danger. it says i wanna commit a crime, wanna be the cause of a fight. i wanna put on a tight skirt, and FLIRT, with a stranger. i've had a knack, from way back, at breaking the rules once i've learned the games, get up life's too quick, i know someplace SICK where this chick'll dance in the flames. we don't need any MONEY, i always get in for free. you can get in too, if you get in with me. let's go out tonight. i have to go out tonight. you wanna play, lets run away, we won't be back before it's CHRISTMAS DAY. take me out tonight. meow, ha. when i get a wink from the doorman, do you know how lucky you be? that you're on line with the feline of AVENUE B. let's go out tonight. i have to go out tonight. you wanna prowlll? be my night owl. well take my hand we're gonna howl, out tonight. in the evening, i've got to roam, can't sleep in the CITY of NEON and CHROME. feels too damn much like home when the spanish babies cry. so let's find a bar, so dark we forget who we are, and all the SCARS of the NEVERS and MAYBES die. let's go out tonight. i have to go out tonight. you're sweet, wanna hit the street, wanna wail at the moon like a cat in heat, just take me out tonight. please take me out tonight. don't forsake me out tonight. i'll LET you make me out tonight tonight tonight TONIGHT. 001227 ... hedwig.child mimi you don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees you dont want to watch me die i just came to say goodbye love goodbye love just came to say goodbye love goodbye just came to say goodbye love goodbye love just came to say goodbye love goodbye. please don't touch me understand i am scared i need to go away.

Go to Hell Was the yucky scum stomped. Not including the homeless now many tickets wen't comped? Mimi, I'm surprised. A bright and charming gril like you hangs out with these slackers, that don't adhere to deals. They make fun, yet I am the one attempting to do some good.

Not to mention of course hating dear old mom and dad. To riding you bike mid-day past the three piece suits. To fruits, to no absolutes.

Don't get me wrong, the musical's one of my favorite things. But "Rent" has more meanings. "I would like to rent a movie." "The rent, my amigos, is due." (Had to put a quote in. But it's relevant!) or even: "God, I HATE my 'rents!" Granted, that's not used much, but... No, I have no idea. Sorry. It just sort of bothers me that this entire page is song lyrics when it could be so much more. 020716 ... blown cherry Well here's my 2 cents on the word 'rent'. I had the most wonderful flat in existence, shared it with my boyfriend, fantastic location, and pretty cheap rent. We split up and he moved out, really only a one bedroom place, so I kept it by myself for four months, paying rent for two people. I stayed until I had no money and no choice but to move back home with my parents (rent free). This is killing me, living here. I can feel parts of my insides slowly turning to grey. I hate the idea of moving out and paying rent again, putting all my money into someone elses pockets, but it's gotta be better than this painfully slow death. My dad noted today how I stay up all night and sleep through the days, and I thought to myself "Well, I wouldn't be doing that if I was living at home" Then I thought "Oh, that home is gone" This temporary move is turning into my eternal hell. I need to get out and pay rent again, it's like paying to get my soul back. rent_a_soul 020716 ... . , 021114 ... joe can't pay it 030202 ... bitch Was the YUPPIE scum stomped! Not the "yucky" scum. I had other corrections but really, why bother? The above is the only one that really bothered me. YUPPIE. Duh. Don't pay rent! Rent is extortion. Property is theft. Yes I still live with my parents. Yes I will end up in a cardboard box. Actually, I am hoping for a fridge. 'Cause everything is rent. 031103 ... schadenfreude i'll toss some change in your cup. 031103 ... megan One song Glory One song Before I go Glory One song to leave behind Find one song One last refrain Glory From the pretty boy front man Who wasted opportunity One song He had the world at his feet Glory In the eyes of a young girl A young girl Find glory Beyond the cheap coloured lights One song Before the sun sets Glory- on another empty life Time flies - time dies Glory - one blaze of glory One blaze of glory - glory Find Glory In a song that rings true Truth like a blazing fire An eternal flame Find One song A song about love Glory From the soul of a young man A young man Find The one song Before the virus takes hold Glory Like a sunset One song To redeem this empty life Time flies And then - no need to endure anymore Time dies 041227 ... megan a movie now? hopefully it won't become some popular misunderstood dvd 051105 ... rikakire how do you measure, measure a year.. 051208 ... rikakire how do you measure, measure a year.. 051208 ... x twisted x i'd die....without you. rent. love it. 060109 ... .. ah 060731 ... nom i've been trying to find something that isn't half or over half my income like my last place. 061109 ... nom my last place which wasn't techinically my last place but was my last long-term place 061109 what's it to you? who go blather from
