We Were Not Meant to Be

We Were Not Meant to Be - by MC Eric B
==========================

I liked ketchup
you liked mustard
when I showed my love to you
you got easily flustered

There were times of joy
and times of pain
days the sound of your voice
drove me insane

I wanted kids
you wanted to travel
any idiot could see
how the future would unravel

I liked the beach
you liked to ski
how'd we stay together
it was not meant to be

Chorus
=============================

We were not meant to be together
some things aren't made to last forever
just two ships drifting on the open sea

Living our lives under stormy weather
hoping things would clear and suddenly get better
took splitting us apart to set us free

'Cause baby you and I were not meant to be

==============================

I liked Great Danes
you liked poodles
when you dined on escargot
I ordered noodles

In a candlelit bath
you relaxed to Bach
I blasted Metallica
made my iPod rock

I liked to snuggle
in our cozy bed
you prefered shopping
at boutiques instead

You liked art
I liked TV
lord knows
we were not meant to be

Chorus
=============================

We were not meant to be together
some things aren't made to last forever
just two ships drifting out upon the sea

Living our lives under stormy weather
hoping things would clear and suddenly get better
took splitting us apart to set us free

'Cause baby you and I
'Cause baby you and I
'Cause baby you and I were not meant to be

==============================

by Luke Henley

Row row row your boat
it's all just a dream that's gone up in smoke.
A rich tapestry of human history,
but I made it all up, so it don't mean a thing.
All the people I can't stand,
shaped like clay inside my hand,
now I airhole all the memories
I built so tall and grand.
I invented God, but I do not know what for,
and after just a nap I invented every war.
My dreams do not stop there,
if you really really care,
every thought becomes a crystal,
that I can't break down.
All the good things in the world,
like a Chinese toy unfurled,
they will fall into your arms,
but your arms are really mine.
And when good things go bad,
I will change your heart to sadness,
I didn't even mean to,
these are all the tools I have.
And everything I love,
and everything that sucks,
I will sell it all to you for a hundred fifty bucks.
And one day I will go,
through the awful blackened snow,
and I'll cough up my consumption and I'll wake in bed,
my eyes will open wide,
I'll be dying from inside,
they'll say "your cancer hasn't cured itself, it's been a thousand years."
And my chamber it will thaw,
and I'll stand in shock and awe,
and I'll laugh at all my grandkids
and I'll pass my life to all.

We Were Not Meant To Be
words and music by brody

as far and far as i can see
it's me and him, you and me
movin up the line
guess i'm what you used to be

pound my fist on the butcher block
wind it up and punch the clock
head hangin down
choking on the shit you talk

because
because

be to meant not were we
we were not meant to be

seeing through the things you say
suddenly i'm on my way
i won't be around
to share the place we used to lay

because
because

be to meant not were we
we were not meant to be

We
We
We don't
We don't come from your stupid town
We don't go to your disco
We don't belong to your crowd
We don't fit in with you people

We
We
We don't
We don't play your stupid games
We don't ever need you around
We don't get your ridiculous jokes
We don't need you to make a sound

We were not not meant to be
We were not not meant to be
We were not not meant to be
We were not not meant to be
We were not not meant to be
We were not not meant to be

<b>We Were Not Meant to Be</b>
<i>-Andre was here at midnight</i>

Now, when the dust has settle down
We can talk about it, we can write a book
We can sing our songs and laugh it off,
How it all got started, it was such a mess
We were young and horny,
Living in the same same street

But we were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
My Cousin and me

But now, with the baby out
Makes it kind of hard to run away
To hide the shame from my relatives
If their was a cure, I would buy it now
But she wanted the baby,
And am stuck with her,
Now am stuck with her,

But we were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
My Cousin and me

[WesDavis]

We're people, aren't we?
We're people, aren't we?
Are we not people?
Now, tell me, aren't we?

We make mistakes
Am I mistaken
Or do we make mistakes
And point out mistakes we've both made?

You say
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be

I'm sorry baby
I'm sorry I said
That I am sorry
For bringing it up

I can explain it
I can't expain
How I'll explain
Why you should not say

We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be
We were not meant to be

....man that is a lot of the title. Let it never be said that is not the title of this song. I wish I'd been able to pull out the optional challenge this week, but nothing was coming to me there.

[MintyHandy]

We Were Not Meant To Be
Love theme from Bride Of Frankenstein, the Musical

---

Doctor doctor what'd you do to me
I woke up dead tired and I'm feeling strange
I'm trapped in a rotisserie
Deep inside a basement that is stacked with brains

I made it to the window, took a look outside
Saw all the torches, had to run and hide
I ducked inside this closet, didn't know what to do
Turned on the light and I found you

I don't know what this place is for
But we'd best hurry 'fore they break down the door
I'd like to talk but we don't have time
And frankly I'm not sure that this mouth is mine

I know it's kind of hasty, but we just can't wait
If we get out of here alive, perhaps we'll date
We'll get as far from civ'lization as a body can
We are not animal and we are not man

We were not meant to be
However you interpret those words
Why did he bother to create us
Only to make us so ugly the townspeople hate us

We were not meant to be
We really were not meant for this world
Yeah what he did he did for science
All we can do now is form an unholy alliance

And crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Together

Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)
Crush the town (crush the town, la la la)

We Were Not Meant To Be
Lyrics by my collaborator, Dexter Stevens.
(also a dinosaur comics fan)

Today is a good day for breakfast
And nothing goes better with food
Than the freshly fetched paper
Retrieved right ouside in the nude
And as I - But hold!
My neighbor's house was sold?

I don't think you're taking all that I say seriously
We were not meant to
Apparently no one around me beieves what I see
We were not meant to be

Given that my neighbors are jarring
A slight fear for them can't be odd
The racoons that mount up as an army
And occasional purple cephalopod
And though I - But Slow!
Where did they all go?!

Wrap your tentacles not even once around me
We were not meant to
Your masked face masking you as a trash maitre d
We were not meant to be

Oh how I wish
No I want, No I need
my neighbors to leave me at once
and I will pilfer their house for the deed
If it comes down to that

Today was a bad for neighbors
Also, I somehow feel that the hurt
That I feel everyday that they live here
will end up on somebody's shirt
And so now I trust
It will feature an octopus

If you could see them I am sure that you would agree
They were no meant to
My love for them isn't real, and that's a gaurantee
We were not meant to be

[Measle]

Quicker than Al Sharpton over Don Imus
More lucid than an insight from Dromeciomimus
Asking what the haps are to that crazy Utahraptor
He’s a lean, green stomping machine whose heart I want to capture
Cos my heart he has stolen Also (colon)
I want to take him bowlin’
And the good times they would roll on
But I’m a racoon or a cephalopod
It’s a lunatic plan and I know that its odd
That I’d fall for a guy whose good mates with God
If my heart was a shoe then its already shod
We were not meant to be
This time with harmony
We were not meant to be

He points to his ear in a three level pun
There’s no MMORPG that the Devil hasn’t won
From non-anthropomorphic tugboats to the mysteries of creation
The awesomeness of wizards turning you into a cetacean
There’s no topic left uncovered. Songs, buildings, food
That he hasn’t condensed into a sentence suffixed “dude”
And we’re just his neighbours, still somehow unseen
To a guy that got namechecked by lonelygirl15
And I have a face full of prehensile tentacles
Devils is gaming, can’t get to his pentacles
I sit myself down and my time it was spent
In collating facts for the song and the chorus it went somehow
We were not meant to be
T-Rex, can I call you "T"
We were not meant to be

[MC Eric B]

Measle - I forgot to mention in my review, this line made me chuckle:
We were not meant to be
T-Rex, can I call you "T"

"We Were Not Meant To Be" by Regular Gonzalez


We were not meant to be investment bankers
We didn't know what we were doing
We could have filled a dozen oil tankers
With all the people we were screwing
We made especially colossal blunders
By fudging up some quite important numbers
We were not meant to be investment bankers
We were not meant to be in love

We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We never even spent a day in college
Our heads are practically devoid of knowledge
We were not meant to be investment bankers
We were not meant to be in love

We were not meant to be insurance agents
It was far too much to endure
We got fed up and sent all claims back denied
Citing the cause of force majeure
We somehow always find a way to screw up
It kinda makes you think it's time we grew up
We were not meant to be insurance agents
We were not meant to be in love

We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We probably should have earned an honest paycheck
Somewhere we didn't always have to fake it
We were not meant to be insurance agents
We were not meant to be in love

We were not meant to be career consultants
We obviously had no idea
But when you're offered such a cushy day job
You might as well start your career
But we were clueless there as in everything
Told people to take up careers in drinking
We were not meant to be career consultants
We were not meant to be in love

We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We were not meant to be in love
We might as well be called the Aristocrats
Is there anything that we don't suck at?
We were not meant to be career consultants
We were not meant to be in love



(I just noticed I accidentally sung "insurance agents" instead of "career consultants" in the final verse, but this is how the song was originally written)

[chirp]

you held me close in your tentacled arms
and said darling, you know how i feel.
i said darling, that won't change the fact
i'm a mammal.

your eight appendages meant you could love me
twice better than anyone else,
but my whiskers were salty and
i'd grown weary of oysters.

we were not meant to be x3

now i've returned to the forest
but my heart's on the wide-open sea.
i collect all these things that are shiny,
but it doesn't
bring you back
to me

raccoons are creatures of habit,
but my laughter's been stolen away.
if you asked me i'd cradle your face in my paws
and promise
to stay

you woke me from dreams of your cephlopod smile
with a nudge, and a wink, and a fish
and i said, you know i love
fish
and we smiled

we'll move to the sewers that run beneath town
and stop fretting, and just be ourselves,
and sometimes, we'll emerge to stroll out
and upset the neighbors

because
we were not meant to be...

[Denyer]

Sometimes you'll be minding your own business
And you just run into trouble
like
What if I didn't wear a hat on my head
Would the sun hit my scalp and burn it turn it red
Hey yo, what's up homie
I'm sitting here, with Nathan Lonie
We're watching a film, hey, it's Tea Leoni*
No no tea, we're drinking moka only
Don't make me shoot you with my super soaker homie
You best call off your joker cronies
Hey, you can see me on a see saw
With three whores
Two for me and one for my mate, eyeore
Yeah it was me and a donkey
We were going down to do some spelonking*
I was sitting on his back
Smoking a fat sack
When a cop walked by so I tipped my hat
And said, morning officer, how are you doing
He said, son, why is your donkey mooing?
Okay, you got me, it's a cow
But I couldn't find a donkey on such short notice
The cop gave me a ticket
And he sentenced me to a game of cricket
But the joked was on him
Because I like playing cricket and I hit him for 6 bitch
That was fun
Then the cop said would you like to see my gun
I didn't really but he was a copper
So I said yes please, whip it out cobber
He said he can't
Because he lost his gun in some very tall grass
So I helped him look
I didn't find a gun but I did find a book
It was a book titled War & Peace
But I had the Ice Cube albums so it was one I didn't need
Then I got back on my steed
And we swam all the way to Mexico City
When we got there, my cow/donkey was tired
So we found a motel and for the night we retired
Well we tried to, but we were woken soon
A man holding a gun had walked into the room
He said the cops are after me I need a place to hide
At least that's what I assumed because I don't speak Spanish
The man with the gun made us all an omelet
We ate the omelet, drank some Pepsi out a goblet
Then we all went to sleep
Woke up in the morning put our shoes on our feet
Then we went to Domino's
We ordered a pizza, but we ran into the po-po
The po-po saw the man with the gun
One cop said don't I know you from somewhere son?
The gun man said you know me from the chess club
How can you not remember me? I thought you were my best bud
That jogged the cop's memory
They all drove away in the cop's car merrily
Me and my donkey ate our pizza
And decided it was time to move onto Ibiza
But that was a lot of swimming
So we decided to go to some American cities
We'd go to Phoenix, Arizona
All the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, LA
But when we got to the border they wouldn't let us pass
So I ate another pizza and my donkey ate some grass
Mexico was getting kind of boring
We spent another night in the motel snoring
Then it was time to come home
Me and my donkey but we were not alone
And old Mexican lady got a ride back with us
I think she said that her name was Gus
She wanted a holiday in Freemantle
So she helped row the donkey with a homemade paddle

* words I changed so they would rhyme: Téa Leoni, spelunking
