For the lovely, the talented, Ms. queen_haq!

So I was up way too late tonite (like almost always), and this song started playing on winamp and it totally made me think of you, and of "Alive" and especially of certain desperation (early on) between V and Logan.
The song is called "Chloroform the One You Love" and it's by a band called Flickerstick.
Have you ever heard of them? They were on this show on Vh1 ages ago called "Bands on the Run" and I fell in love with their music.

Anyhow here are the lyrics:

And if I couldn't attain
All I need to explain
Would she even look me in the eye again
She sits back and ignores
My need to adore
Intimidation's got me down again
She's only 18 but such a beautiful dream
All she needs is some chloroform
And she'll be mine

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back

Every once in a while
I catch a strut and a smile
Maybe rejection is the high
That keeps me coming here
I need some compassion but she's
Laughing at the nervousness
I feel whenever she is around
And I can't see just how real
Is the charm no I don't mean
You no harm despite my heart's
And the challenge while she's lying here

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back
(repeat 1 more time)

So just walk on by
I can see today is like any other day
But it seems brighter than it was before
I just can't believe that its
Not the same no it's not the same
It will never be the same for me again

Chloroform the one, the one that you love
And take her back
(repeat 3 more times)
*****

I'm sure that certain people (those who think Logan's a stalker) would only see this song as a confirmation of that belief. But the song (when you hear it, hear it's tone) is not angry, it's not sad or melancholy. It's a little high strung, even a bit upbeat, and yet still somewhat desperate. I thought you might like it.

Flickerstick and Coke :-)

I totally thing we should open the club to others, as long as they have the same obsessiveLoganlove like us!

As for the song, if you haven't found it yet, I can email it to you no problem! I've already saved it into a draft in my yahoo account..all I need is an email address!

I'm so glad you loved the song...yeah I have a few ex-boyfriends who this song reminds me of too. I love that band so much. You'd probably like Coke too. Here's the lyrics:

Says she's got another life
That I am living in my friend
Through and through she says
It's nothing I can change
I always was the one

The celebration ends without a sound
And the friends they're not around
And you find you're all alone
Talking to yourself again
You promised it's the end
Just one night you'll be fine
Cause in the end the dreams you dream
Are all you ever were

She's got another life
That I am living in my friend
Through and through she says
It's nothing I can change
I always was the one
And she'll say
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke
And lie here naked with my girl
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke
And lie here naked with my girl

The lights dim once again someday I'll sleep
Cause it's all the same to me
This tiny voice inside my head keeps me awake
Come on let's find the cure
Come on let's die until we live
In the end you'll find how high you climbed
There's no design to ever bring you down

She's got another life
That I am living in my friend
Through and through she says
It's nothing I can change
I always was the one
And I'll say
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke
And lie here naked with my girl
Come on I'd like to buy the world a coke
And lie here naked with my girl

And she knows
(repeat 6 more times)

I gotta buy the world a coke
I gotta buy the world a coke
And lie here naked with my girl

And she knows
(repeat 9 more times)



And this is the site where I got the lyrics: http://www.flickersticklounge.com/

I'm so lucky to have you gals as friends!

Re: Flickerstick and Coke :-)

Oh wait, I just found the lyrics for "Beautiful"!
This is sooooo Logan and Veronica.

You could be the devil in my bed
You could be the angel in my head
You could be the voices that I hear
I'm singing along because it sounds just like you're near

Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today

I could be the drug you can't resist
I could be the antidote you missed
I could be the love you hate to fear
You're filling the hole inside your heart with feeling near to me

Cause you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off the ground
I've got to say
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful today

Can we make it through
Together we got to fly
Don't you know I got to fly
Cause when you're coming around I got to fly
Don't you know I want to fly

And I know
And I feel
That I could learn to hate just like you
And I know
And I feel
That you could learn to love just like me

(repeat above 6 lines)

(repeat chorus w/above 3 lines in background)

Can we make it through together
I've got to fly

Re: Flickerstick and Coke :-)

I think your name is cool! I hope I'm pronouncing it correctly in my head. I'm doing it phonetically. Your family loves cool unusual names, huh?

I'm the only one with an unusual name in my family (my name's Helena), my sibs all have "normal" names like Kristina, Grace, and Theo. My half-sisters have more quirky names (BreAnna and Maya). I've never met anyone else with my name though, and I bet you haven't either!

And the songs have been sent via email... Hope you like them as much as you thought you would. :)

Whoa, we are all on late lol. This song really does sound like Logan, ahh, it makes me dislike Veronica even more lol, because he wanted her so bad and she mentally bitch-slapped him. I don't think I've ever heard this, it sounds like it would be a good song to listen to.

I agree about italianjem! We should extend an invite....

Yeah, I stay up way too late posting, but I'm having so much fun with y'all, I just can't help myself...
Oh, if you want a copy of the song, just let me know. I can't believe I didn't think of emailing it before now.

July 19 2005, 22:47:42 UTC 6 years ago

Yes, yes we should lol! Now or should we wait till the next chapter??? I know, I'm having so much fun with this club, we're all so alike and both you guys are hilarious!!! Yeah, you can send me a copy, my email address is sunkissd88@hotmail.com, Thanks! Now I have to go read your other comments lol...

My vote is for the next chapter, because we're about to hit the 100 comments mark on the last chapter! We sure love to post.... :-)

I got the song but it didn't work, but that's okay. It could just be my really old computer lol. I am always so amused by the number of comments in the feedback section! People probably read it and see we're all obsessed with Logan and think we're insane lol! But they are really just jealous and want to be in our club...so we must invite them! lol

I know, that is exactly what I was thinking. If just anyone joins, we may find some people not completely in love with JD, and then it probably wouldn't work lol. Okay, I'll do it! Unless Empressjolie wants to...and can I just say how much I love the word CONTENDER, it reminds me of Marlon Brando, he was so yummy when he was young.

July 20 2005, 01:52:56 UTC 6 years ago

Go for it sunkissdbaby88! It's all you, especially since you nominated italianjem...

I totally agree, they have to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Logan and JD.
That's rule number 1.

It's so weird that you mentioned Brando, because I think that JD has that same amazing intensity when he acts. I even felt that way in the first episode when I hated Logan (yes, girls, I know! it's crazy to even think I once thought that way, but I did - however, in my defense, I think that JD wanted us to hate Logan...I know RT did). But yeah, definitely intense.

Okay, I will when I get the chance. I just remember she hated Veronica for treating Logan badly lol, and so I thought she was an excellent choice. ; D

Yes, that is rule #1!

Yes, there is something so alluring about Brando in his old movies, and I think JD DOES have the same intensity, that same kind of depth, to him, that is so attractive and makes me think there is so much more to him! I think we all hated JD in the beginning, but like you, I think there was something kind of interesting/intense about him that sort of set him apart. And I never thought I would think someone that intense is hot before seeing this show!

We're so pitiful in our Logan/JD love, it totally should sound corny. See below post for Rule #1 of LL4E!

The show set us up! They made us LOVE V from the very beginning and since he was such an ass to her, we HATED Logan. But then, once he wasn't just an ass, once we saw behind his snarky, jack-assy outside, to his soft marshmallow side (Deep, deep down), then we could love him. Then we could see the hotness. Ya know?
