Not sure of the web-site, but I do know that there are sound bytes on a few songs.
Thanks, Cheval! I will look around.

Oh no, here it comes again
can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
again and again and again ooh again oh

Cry out to legions of the brave
time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
captains at the helm, sail across the sea of lights

Circles and rings, dragons and kings
weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
called by the toll of the bell

Bloodied angels fast descending
moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
out of shadows, shining ever-bright

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights! all right!

Cry out to legions of the brave
time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
captains at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
again and again, again and again and again

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
all rise
I reallly want to do a BSG video with this song, but I think the WoW group will kill me if I vanish on another project. :P

I had a first this morning. I had two songs stuck in my head this morning. One was an Oingo Boingo song, and the other was a song from Avenue Q, which I will be going to see tonight. I've never had that sensation before. But it wasn't like they were playing at the same time...one would play, and the next would take over during the pauses, and they'd kinda leapfrog each other. It was weird.

That happens to me all the time, but with different songs. It is weird.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

My question is featured, lyrics are all the way at the bottom.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to match what you posted, but...

Enjoy.

Alas! It is not the same. :(
Thank you for trying, Menolly. :)
It is an interesting set of lyrics there though.
I guess I'll just have to find the movie and watch it again.

As I have been to the Weeds website and listened to a lot of the music (and fallen in love with several), I constantly have the main song stuck in my head. Thankfully they had a lot of different artists do it.

They played this on the radio at work earlier, and now it's stuck in my head. :(

Been awhile since I thought about, let alone watched the show, so I'm not really sure why I have the theme song to Twin Peaks running through my head. I know it doesn't have lyrics. It still counts. :P

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Don't ever give up.
Don't ever lose the dreams that you dream every day.
Don't ever lose heart.
Know who you are. Live your own life, your way.

Sometimes it's hard, and we have many problems.
Who we will be, and what we will do.
Look deep inside. It's your life, your choice.


Chorus and part of verse one of a song we sang in grade school music class.

I've got a sweet tooth
for licorice drops and jelly roll,
Hey sugar daddy,
Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl.
I'll lay out fine china on the linen
And polish up the chrome
and if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Black strap molasses,
you're my orange blossom honey bear.
Bring me Versace blue jeans
and black designer underwear.
We'll dress up like the disco-dancing
jet set in Milan and Rome.
And if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Oh the thrill of control,
like the rush of rock and roll,
is the sweetest taste I've known. Oh yah
so come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

When honey bees go shopping
it's something to be seen.
They swarm to wild flowers
and get nectar for the queen.
And everything you bring me
got me dripping like a honeycomb
and if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Oh the thrill of control,
like the Blitzkrieg on the roll,
is the sweetest taste I've know oh yah.
If you've got some sugar
bring it home.Bah bah dabba dabba dabba do
Come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home!

Whiskey and French cigarettes,
a motorbike with high-speed jets,
a Waterpik, a Cuisinart
and a hypo-allergenic dog.
I want all the luxuries of the modern age,
and every item on every page
in the Lillian Vernon catalogue.


So you think only a woman
can truly love a man.
Well you buy me the dress
I'll be more woman
than a man like you can stand.
I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clam shell
rising on a sea of marshmallow foam
and if you got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

It's our tradition to control,
like Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl,
remember him
from the Ukraine to the Rhone.
Sweet home uber alles,
Lord, I'm coming home.yah
Come on, Sugar Daddy, bring me home.

Heard this on the oldies station in the car on the way home just now. It'll be in my head for days, but this is one song I don't mind.

Indian Reservation

...

They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still part red man deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die


But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return,
will return!!!

I often have Little Boxes stuck in my head! The other one that gets me a lot is the Sesame Street theme. Don't ask why coz I don't know.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

I'd highly recommend staying away from that site as they have most of the versions of Little Boxes they have featured there.

Mae bys Meri-Ann wedi brifo,
A Dafydd y gwas ddim yn iach.
Mae’r baban yn y crud yn crio,
A’r gath wedi scrappo Joni bach.

Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tân,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A’r gath wedi scrappo Joni bach.

Dai bach yn sowldiwr,
Dai bach yn sowldiwr,
Dai bach yn sowldiwr,
A gwt ei grys e’mas.

Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tân,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A’r gath wedi scrappo Joni bach.

Mae bys Meri-Ann wedi gwella,
A Dafydd y gwas yn ei fedd.
Mae’r baban yn y crud wedi tyfu,
A’r gath wedi huno mewn hedd.

Sosban fach yn berwi ar y tân,
Sosban fawr yn berwi ar y llawr,
A'r gath wedi scrappo Joni bach.
