tied for first right now, and i say tied for first because both songs started playing in my head at the same time i read your question.

francie nolan- lifetime

i know you're just confused
i know i ain't the best
but why put my heart to the test?

could you turn the light on now
i'm gonna grab my coat
not stickin' around to watch you gloat this time

cuz it gets only close enough so's you'll know you'll never have her heart
but sometimes words
and long waits in between
when she tries hard to be mean
you'll never have her heart

but you'll prob'ly hate her now
although she's just a neame
and the smoke in her hair reminds of how sweet she would still be to kiss

and when we talked 'bout nothing
until she had to go
where second chances and small talk could have kept me up all night.


you are invited- the dismemberment plan

i got it in the mail one morning
there was no return address
just my name in gold leaf on the front
there was no time or location
there was really no info at all
no date, no place, no time, no rsvp

but it said you are invited
by anyone to do anything
you are invited for all time

i didn't think much about it
it seemed like a really dumb joke
but later that week it was friday once again

i took it down to a disco
that wouldn't have me in a million years
i flashed it once and i was inside with a drink
i really didn't stay too long there
cuz no one was havin much fun
i made my way to a party all the way across town
it was thrown by the friend of the next thing
i wasn't sure if i should go
but when i got up in the place there were smiles all up and down
i grabbed my ex in the kitchen
i told her i was sorry i came
but she looked at me with a glazed smile and said

you are invited by anyone to do anything
you are invited for all time
you are so needed
by everyone to do everything
you are invited for all time

i headed for home kinda early
the party wasn't all that great
i saw my neighbor out crying on his front porch
i stopped to see what his deal was
i didn't catch much through the sobs
something about a party and he didn't go
i thought about it for a second
with the invite in my hands
i threw it down at his feet and i said

you are invited by anyone to do anything
you are invited for all time
you are so needed
if you really wanna go
you are invited for all time

(interesting story about "you are invited"- new years of 01 if i rememeber correctly, there was a big party at my house, my friend phil put all the music on my computer on random. we are all fans of that song, most of my friends know all the words. it started playing just before the ball dropped and it HIT THE FUCKING PEAK OF THE SONG JUST AS THE CLOCK HIT MIDNIGHT. 45 people were singing along through the song. by the hold your friend lyrics, you can only imagine the lone that was in a room full of almost 50 drunkards.)

reprazent.

Everybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joe still pickin cotton
For ribbons and bows
Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you been discrete
So many people you had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
