Yes, Virginia, there IS a bathroom on the right!
I swear these are all true. And as embarrassing as it is, this is my bid at reaching out to the community -- my social services work, if you will -- to let other can’t-figure-out-the-words people know that they’re not alone! (If you ever appear on that game show, “Don’t Forget the Lyrics,” don’t ask me to be your backup!)

Lady Gaga - "Poker Face" |
Can't read my, can't read my |
Can't reply, can't reply |
I figured this one out on my own! |

|
Three Days Grace - "World So Cold" |
Living in a shell with no soul |
Living in a shower with no soap |
I didn't think this line was all that weird, actually. |
|

Black Sunshine - "Once in My Life" |
Let's face it |
Let's be said |
I love this song! So glad I know this line now! |

Stone Sour - "Through Glass" |
That forever feels like home |
That forever feels like corn |
I did NOT understand the farm reference! |
|

Papa Roach - "Time Is Running Out" |
I refuse to surrender |
I reach out to surrender |
Ah, my beloved Papa Roach... Jacoby, will I ever understand you? |

Orianthi - "According to You" |
I don't feel like stopping it |
I don't feel my suffragette |
I thought this had something to do with the girl guitar player thing. In your face, boys! |
|

|
|
Rob Zombie - "Sick Bubblegum" |
Sick bubblegum |
Sic boulder |
I figured he wanted to attack a rock. |
 My autographs -- HIM and the Mouse. |
I sang along with all of the songs at the two HIM concerts. And I think I got most of the lyrics right, too! |

I'm going under |
I'm growing London |
I didn't know if Amy was singing about the city or some kind of plant. |

Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On" |
Mother, mother |
Marvin, Marvin |

Papa Roach - "Scars" |
I sew myself shut |
I sell myself shy |
Yes, I sang MY version at the concert. |

Creed - "Overcome" |
Completely stunned, I am numb |
Completely stunned and done |
I think Scott is actually singing my words. |
|

Lady Gaga - "Paparazzi" |
Chase you down until you love me |
Jinx, you know, until you love me |
This makes sense to me for some reason. |

The Airborne Toxic Event - "Sometime Around Midnight"

And the stars, sometime around midnight
|
Well? What happens to them?

Escape from this afterlife |
Escape from myself tonight |
Why is the song called "Afterlife"? |
|

Kelly Clarkson - "I Do Not Hook Up" |
Keep your head on my hand and your heart on your sleeve |
Keep your head out of hand, and I'm a saltine |
Am I just hungry? |

|
Kelly Clarkson - "I Do Not Hook Up" |
I go slow |
I go solo |
That sounds naughty... |

Nickelback - "Gotta Be Somebody" |
Nobody wants to be the last one there |
Nobody wants to be the last one dead |
That would suck! You'd be like Will Smith in "I Am Legend." |

So if you want me, out of
ca-chi |
Is she out of some sort of tea? |

Everlast - “What it’s Like” |
Then you really might know what it’s like... to have to lose |
Then you really might know what it’s like... to have the flu |
Hasn’t everyone had the flu at one point and time? What’s the big deal? |

Kelly Clarkson - “My Life Would Suck Without You” |
Forever united here somehow, yeah |
Cause we’re lying here surrounded |
Don’t even tell me you got this one right! |
|

Motley Crue - “Kickstart my Heart" |
All we needed, needed was a laugh |
All we needed, Vinnie was a lamb |
Why is Vince singing about himself in the third person? And what about the other guys? |
|
Angie almost singing "My Life Would Suck Without You" by Kelly Clarkson |
I don't seem to have many problems with HIM songs. Ville's from Finland. Maybe that's the secret! |

Gavin Degraw - “I Don’t Want to Be” |
I don't need to be anything other
than a prison guard's son |
I don't need to be anything other
than a prison guard sign |
I also thought the “specialist’s son” was “specialist sign.” |
|
|

I’m torn away from what I need |
I’m tired away of what I’ll be |
I love this song! I just have a little trouble with this line... |

Can you profit from this ocean of despair? |

Try to see it once my way |
Trust me once my way |

"And love wants us dead, just me and my poison girl..." |

Ta-da!
And just so none of you have any problems with the lyrics I wrote for Count Vladimir, here’s what he’s singing:
“My Blood Would Suck Without You”
I feel weak when you’re not near.
A walk along the Santa Monica Pier
Does nothing for the ache in my heart.
Will AB negative make me feel better?
A light snack of Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder?
Or will the pain still seep through my veins?
I have come to the conclusion
I don’t need a transfusion.
My blood would suck without you.
