Last Date

last date - frankie big face

i'm sitting here reading the wine list
for the third time
and i know the phone companies are crooks
but baby, could you drop me a dime?
i'm getting looks from a stable
of hungry people who are eyeing this table

oh baby, how much longer can i wait?
will this be our first or will it be....

ice cubes are swimming laps around the
open mouth of my water glass
'cause the bus boy with the stain on his sleeve
keeps filling me up every time he walks past
am i naive for thinking
there's still a chance to keep this night from sinking?

oh baby, how much longer can i wait?
will this be our first or will it be....

when you get here, i'm gonna make a scene
i'll demand to know exactly where you've been
i'm gonna take one look at your face
and throw my glass into the faux fireplace
and everyone will see the teardrops in your eyes
quiet their kids so they can hear you 'pologize
and when you're finished everyone will shout a cheer
and i'll buy the whole place another round of beer
yeah, that's what's gonna happen when you get here...
if you ever get here

i'm sitting here reading the wine list
for the seventh time
the waiter's acting like refilling my basket with bread
is some kind of capital crime
i'm fed up with the way i feel
but more from the fact they're now out of the veal

oh baby, how much longer can i wait?
will this be our first or will it be....
our last date?

"Last Date" by 15-16 puzzle

Once in a while,
I might hear your name
And I might smile;
I know you won't think of me.
Why did I wait,
Holding back the kiss
On our last date?
Awkwardly timed stupidity.

I play it over in my mind:
Hit a button and rewind the moment-
Analyze it one too many times.
A nervous smile, an empty laugh,
A hug that lasts too long by half,
And uninspired, old and tired pick-up lines.
Old pick-up lines.

Wait for the beep,
Leaving me a message
While I'm asleep;
When I get up, check the machine.
Steady red light:
Nobody called
Into the night.
I coulda sworn... What does it mean?

Another knocking at the door
Just like a hundred times before,
And still the peephole tells me that nobody's there.
A watch set 15 minutes fast
As I look forward to the past
Because the present is a cold, unblinking stare.
Unblinking stare.

Once in a while,
I might hear your name
And I might smile;
I know you won't think of me.
Why did I wait,
Holding back the kiss
On our last date?
Awkwardly timed stupidity.

Last Date (Wai-tu-kei)
by Kelysian

Countless eons, we were masters
Of the earth and all it held,
So you'll hear the old ones tell.

High and mighty, once we governed
Over land and sea and sky,
Grew more proud as years ticked by.

Centuries ago we'd harnessed flame,
Conquered stone and steel,
Ripped apart the elements,
Tore the lightning from the sky
Forging our silicon semiconducted plastic lives ideal

Soon our power was in the wires
And the waves that crossed the skies,
And our knowledge and our information
All relied on automation
Driven by manipulation
Of the world we digitized

The last date any of the old ones can remember
Ended in a double nine

Last Date (of the WORLD)
by lamb grin tnt YOW

Across the table
Sits the planet Earth
On human shoulders
This is not a metaphor

I loved him so much once
We danced among the stars
But now the passion's gone
I'll give him armagheddon

Mars is in my purse
He's my new true love
Soon he'll sit on shoulders
Established earlier in the song

I stick a fork into Antarctica
And pull forward
He rolls off
Into a bowl of soup.

This is the last date of the world.
Murder was never this strange before!

(murder, last date, murder, last date, murder, last date, murder murder murder murder)

short attention span lover
when i meet them there's no other
in every town you see there seems to be a guy like me
though the girls are sweet they never live up to fantasy

first date
tried so hard to get her
second date
we should stay together
third date
i found someone better
last date
i wish i never met her

watching as she passes by check out the girl i seek
flash a smile, she looks so wild, my third crush this week
and though it feels so fine i find i can't make up my mind
am i lost and blind cause now i think she's a waste of time

i confess
i'm such a mess
since she told me she'd settle for less

first date
tried so hard to get her
second date
we should be together
third date
she found someone better
last date
i wish i never met her
