Is there ONE song that puts it all in perspective?
That makes EVERYTHING fade away?

"That's What Living Is To Me"

Any person that loves Mark Twain can't be that bad:)

1. yes
Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there - inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try or is it the clothes you wear?

You're always window shopping but never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers and fly - a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl



Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin'; of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing and rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down from the shelf - a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl
(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Come on, Georgy girl



(Hey there, Georgy girl)
Wake up, Georgy girl

5. Three Dog Night's
Never Been To Spain: ------ (I spent 11 consecutive summers in Spain. I love it there. This song makes it okay to be where you are.)

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
The don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it
It must be real it
Feels so good
Oh, feels so good

Well I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter

7. Letter To God
by Courtney Love

Dear God
I'm writing this letter to you
Cause I don't have a clue
Can u help me
Sitting here
Simply trying to figure out
What my life's all about
Can you tell me

I never wanted to be
The person you see
Won't you tell who me I am
I always wanted to die
But you kept me alive
Please tell me who I am

I lie awake
Conducting this symphony
That you have given to me
But I don't have it yet
Don't get mad cause I get weak inside
And I start to fall apart
Cause I feel nothing

I never wanted to be
Some kind of comic relief
Please show me who I am
I've been tortured and scorned
Since the day that I was born
But I don't know who I am

And I thank you, man, for everything
Sorry I'm so frightened about all of it
Oh, I wish I could give you more
But all the lights are shining down on me
And I feel violated by it all

I never wanted to be
The person you see
Thank you

Oh, God, please tell me now
Are you disappointed?
Are you proud?
Haven't I done everything?
Everything

I'm so sorry I'm so weak
And I'll turn into a freak
But I don't know anything
Anything

But I've lost all self esteem
From burying everything
And I feel nothing
Nothing

Oh, God, please tell me now
Oh, God, please tell me now
Cause I feel nothing

Oh dear God I'm writing this letter to you
I am coming unglued
Please help me


<snip>
For me, this is the song that says it all. It's EXACTLY how I feel a lot of the time.
