Crush

[JonPorobil]

Jon Eric - Crush

I'm understandably skeptical
About our prospects at a second chance
Another lease on this love of ours
Risking more broken hearts

If you don't believe me, leave me
Tease me grieving, I see it really won't be easy
But some things are
Worth fighting for, so fight hard
And that's just the easy part, I know so

I feel the spot on my jaw that I'm sure I missed shaving
I gotta be ready for anything, gotta be brave risk-taking

It may not be love
But it's one heck of a crush
La la la-la-la-la la la-la-la la la la-la-la-la la la-la-la

I understand why we're built this way
So anxious and entirely full of nervous energy
Still, at some
Point, gotta get something done

If you can glance it, chance it, we'll romance it
If you don't have it, I'll advance it
Just lean in close
Until we get nose to nose
It's like I'm dancing with your ghost, so tell me

If there's a reason why we ever called it quits to begin with
Why not forget it and let it all slip down the river's bending?

It may not be love
But it's one heck of a crush
La la la-la-la-la la la-la-la la la la-la-la-la la la-la-la

Don't wanna hear it, but the secret won't keep
It feels like waking up from a deep deep sleep
It's blurry then clear, I get it, I understand
So hold on tight, dig your nails down into my hand
One minute it's fine, the next it's all cracked
I wanna stay right here, I wanna go back

With what's at stake with this date, I can see why you're quaking
Every mistake that you make leads to ache so why not retake one?
It may not be love
But it's one heck of a crush

La la la-la-la-la la la-la-la
I kinda hate what kinda state I put you in when I flaked out
I paid in spades for every late realization I made now
It may not be love

But it's one heck of a crush
It's one hell of a crush
La la la-la-la-la la la-la-la

I'm understandably skeptical
at our prospects for a second chance
another lease on this love of ours... but then again...

Rone Rivendale has a Crush

It's so obvious
I'm into you
Can't stop looking
You're always catching me

I haven't felt this way in a long time
But from past mistakes I know it isn't real
I want to believe that you are the one

It's just a crush I know it's true
But I want to pretend that I love you
It's just a crush it's sad but true
Can't I pretend that I am in love with you?

I smile at you
You start to blush
It's so tempting
But I can't rush it

I can't keep doing this to myself
If I keep on dreaming about you
I'll pass out from mental fatigue

It's just a crush I know it's true
But I want to pretend that I love you
It's just a crush it's sad but true
Can't I pretend that I am in love with you?

It's just a crush I know it's true
But I want to pretend that I love you
It's just a crush it's sad but true
Can't I pretend that I am in love with you?

As I explained in the prefight thread, I was beset by recording difficulties, and ended up submitting the original sketch, which had an early version of the words. Here's how they would have gone, with minor changes to emphasize the crushing insult to this weirdo's feelings. Thanks to my jamming buddies for suggesting "puerile."
------
He thinks it's love, but everybody laughs when he talks about it
Well, they're just wrong, and he'll make them sorry that they ever doubted

He'll make the teacher keep him late
When they're alone he'll demonstrate
How wrong it was to denigrate
His love as an infatuation

He goes to school and executes his plan for a long detention
The teacher's cross, but everyone is giving him their full attention

And soon they'l be alone tonight
And everything will be so right
And even if she tries to fight
They'll see it's not infatuation

They say, "You're much too young,
It's just a crush --
Your feelings for the teacher are a pile of mush.
Yeah, your feelings for the teacher are a puerile crush."

Crush
- Give Our Regards To The Earth's Core

300 pounds
of grunting, sweating man-brute
driving like a locomotive pulling pig-iron down the track
Pressing down
with 500 kPa
of pure passion pouring in you lying there down on your back

I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love

Pouring sweat
like a rutting bull gorilla
with my pheromonic juices dripping all over your face
I'll make you wet
you will be moistiness incarnate
while you revel in the pleasures of my trouserless embrace

I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love
I'm gonna crush you with my love

Song Fight Song 101
Crush

It always starts out in a small town
Population: 7, and monsters all around
There's nothing left to do but pick up a sword and shield and whisper:
Don't worry; I'll kill them where they sleep
Don't worry; I'll crush them in their sleep

At first, things are going well
But pretty soon, everything goes to hell
Now I'm trapped into saving the world and a princess too
So I keep one foot in front of the other
And save as much of me as I can
The blood on my hands...there's blood on my hands
Don't worry; I killed them where they sleep
Don't worry; I crushed them in their sleep
Don't worry; I crushed them all

And life will be better, never, when I'm all through
And life will be better whenever, when I'm all through
And life will be better whenever, when I'm done and back in my
Home town, where I'm from
Population: 7, but there's no need to run
Since I picked up my sword and shield and
Don't worry; I killed them where they sleep
Don't worry; I'll crush them in their sleep
Don't worry; I killed them where they sleep
Don't worry; I crushed them in their sleep

Medusa Oblongata - Crush

looking through me, you can tell I have a secret
it's been so long since we've been here
when did I become a fragile piece of lace
trying hard to fall with grace. babe please come home

'cause i am perpetually head over heels
no, don't assume it accidental i fell so hard for you
so easily, i wish you would see the dream be real
but something doesn't measure up to your point of view

i'm hanging on a chance of rain or sunshine
on a gloomy afternoon
as i wait for you
who blames it on the butterflies in central park
don't worry, they'll do no harm
we'll see this theory through, pretty lady
if you'll maybe be my baby true

oh, i am perpetually head over heels
no, don't assume it accidental i fell so hard for you
so easily, i wish you would see the dream for real
but something doesn't register with your point of view

babe, come home babe

'cause i am perpetually head over heels
don't assume it accidental i fell in love with you
so easily, i wish you would see the dream be real
but something doesn't register with your point of view

Crush (tuned down 1/2 step)
I refused to go with the "crush on someone" angle, so instead, we have poetry rock as follows...

VERSE 1 & 2
E
what is it like,
F#m G#m
to walk on death?
C#m
are you at rest?
Bm A
the least depressed?

hold your fist!
what is the risk,
to see that this,
is just a twist?

the mind it reels,
about the fields,
can you distill,
anything real.

PRE-CHORUS
E G#m A
and yet... you must wonder what it all means...

CHORUS
E Bm
every..bud on the tree, is meant to be,
G#m A
where the sun and the soil meet,
E Bm
the crushed dead leaves start to speak
F#m G#m Bm
G#m A E
what do you think they say

BRIDGE (E-A-F#m-Bm)
dead leaves speak a lot
don't hear them say much
if living is breathing
what should I make of crushing

PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS x2







BONUS UNUSED CHORDS AND LYRICS/IDEAS. This serves to show that I'm trying to enhance the final tune more than in the past

CHORUS VERSION 1 CHORD: C#m-A-F#m-G#m-A-Bm x2, G#m-A-E
CHORUS VERSION 2 CHORDS: E-G#m-A-Bm x2, G#m-A-E

wilst thou crush this burly ale?
thoust wilt! thoust wilt!
with form and vigor, me crush thee ale
and then I say good day!

wilst thou crush it with breakfast?
wilst thou crush it with

Crush
(Lyrics by Glenn Case)


I can't recall for certain Just where or when it was
I didn't see it coming Nobody ever does
I figured that it would be Another normal night
But, I was oh so wrong

Like in a corny movie That was made for TV
Right when I looked at her That's when she looked at me
And in that very instant I wondered to myself
How could this feel so strong?

CHORUS
They call it a crush for a reason
It feels just like there's something inside of you squeezing
And makes it so much harder to breathe
But it's not hard to believe
that you're bleeding,
needing something to stifle the feeling

Spoken introductions And an exchange of names
I couldn't think or focus I knew something had changed
It only took that moment And I already knew
That you were in command

I've got to level with you I don't think that it's fair
How you're intoxicating How it affects the air
I breathe in while I'm near you I try hard not to stare
And I'm a different man

I know I need to pull myself together
I know I need to keep myself in line
And every time I think I'm getting better
You still get to me, girl, every time

Maintaining my composure Is tougher than it seems
I need a sense of closure And various other needs
The more I think about it I buckle at the knees
This crush is powerful

REPEAT CHORUS

It couldn't be much better if it were well rehearsed
Each new time that I see you? No different than the first
I underestimate you But then your eyes hit mine
My veins are going to bust

I'm not sure how you do it Not sure I'll ever know
The way you hypnotize me The way you take control
One day you're gonna kill me From sensory overload
A not so harmless crush

ROCK!

by Ross Durand

20 years and, you know, you still look good
I mean, you don't look the same, except your eyes
We always got along just like we should
It shouldn't come as a surprise - but it do
When you say
"I guess you never knew I had a crush on you."

20 years should be a long, long time
And yet it feels like yesterday
You made my heart stand still just like you used to do
I hold my tongue though it wants to say the thruth
I guess you never knew I had a crush on you, too.

Life is full of shoulda's and coulda's
Maybe sos and maybe nots
Life is full of the things that happened to me
In the meantime

20 years is just a memory
Of when young hearts went pitter-pat
You say, "Let's get together soon," and I say, "Yes"
But we know what'll happen to that - cuz it's true
You never knew I had a crush on you.

[Spud]

Crush
as recorded by Octothorpe
lyrics by Stubs
----------------

Lucy sees me enter the room
The moment is coming soon

I hold her hand and say her name
Even now she seems the same

She looks at me with brown eyes
She won't give up and tells lies

She lays out a sequence in a rant
She wants to buy a diamond elephant

And I crush all her plans

She looks at me and doesn't get it
I tell her again not with out credit

The email she got was a big scam
I crush all her plans

[V2]
I run six miles from the scene
I slow, as I exert my spleen

Walking down the street with a big thirst
There is a row of stores, I go in the first

The machine, beckons from the door
I have a Sprite and want some more

Two minutes go by, and it is done
Lots of empty on the floor, the soda is gone

And I crush all the cans

The owner complains about the deposit
I tell him that he can stuff it

The aluminum is not the man's
I crush all the cans

[V3]

I am the captain of a big boat
I sail around, and it can't but float

Things are good when the crew listens to me
They scurry around at my decree

I demand an elephant and some Sprite
They start to cry and cower in fright

I look at them demanding an answer
The galley is dry til we reach Tropic of Cancer

And I crush all my crew

They plead with me that it isn't their fault
That does nothing to stop my assault

With out my sprite they are through
I crush all my crew

Crush
Berkeley Social Scene
Lyrics by Martyr & glennny

Verse 1

Now that I have you
Alone at the party
I drum up the courage
to say what I'm thinking

you've given no signals
but I have the insight
my logic is nimble
and my timing is just right

Chorus

Remember Me?
you fit perfectly
forget dignity
this is crushing me

mapped it out
crazy simple crush
losing all my cool
this is crushing me

Verse 2

you're like a rockstar
and i can't find my critic
you're not perfection
but I can't tell the difference

I should know better
you don't act like you want me
I suppose you're just friendly
and i needed that too much

Chorus

Bridge

you speak the way that I'd like to think
I need to be more of a leading man
I lost the ground and I'm fearing a fatal crash
please make a sound, the silence is deafening

Verse 3

Don't call it obsession
I've been concentrating
I'm slightly myopic
and no one's complaining

So here's some sonatas
and 3 portraiture paintings
I finished the novel
please don't ruin the ending

[boltoph]

No one will hum, or sing along with you. Never at a loss for words -- but still say nothing -- and if we stare too long, at least we won't get undone. And even if we say it all wrong, I think I think we're not dumb; at least we're numb. And if you're far, or if you forget, don't you know I remembered?

If your tiny, warm hand touches air and sand, I'll pray to crush us all. And if your walls close in, threaten to crush you; closing in, threatening to crush you.

Leave, then. Never mind my point of view, even if it seems so uneducated; I didn't mean to take your time from you. But wouldn't it be nice to be young, and wouldn't it be nice to be able, and on your gun? Wide open, instead of closing in.

And all the unlikely evidence definitely points to you. Any time I'm on the fence and won't jump over for fear of hurts and aches. Will you shoot wide enough, leave a walking thin line behind you? Is it tight enough? In a blind, hot moment, crush my world. Crush my world. Crush.

Tuners Union

out upon the shore there are fifty-thousand men
we fought them back before and we'll fight them back again
they came from afar just to march upon our gates
we'll crush them where they are and seal their cursed fates

the battle will be won when their forces come undone
and the sun sets on the armies from the west
many men have tried and most of them have died
and we'll be the ones to crush all of the rest

as our enemies retreat, we'll unleash our massive fleet
in the sky above our flying fists will roar
the winds of change have blown, we'll dispatch our western foe
and crush them as we storm onto their shore

throw a parade now in the streets
the hungry devils have been beat
with just some than what it takes to win the war
raise up your hands with great repute
and follow with rigid salute
should you cross our ocean be aware
we crush all those that dare

[Realist]

Crush (Realist)

There's a place I saw today
Where the children go to play
Used to be the funnest places
But now its just the safest
Shelter the kids from everything
shelter us from the world
Keep 'em from seein what's out there
and keep them from being heard

I want to crush the world
Crush it down
beneath my feet
feel it crumble
down, around
without missing a beat

Walk around downtown
it seems people are so mean
but it's not that they mean anything
They just wanna feel free
Buried beneath the 9 to 5 shit
its easy to think that this is it
The only way to escape this now
Is to go and tear it all down

I want to crush the world
Crush it down
beneath my feet
feel it crumble
down, around
without missing a beat

Feel it falling
and I don't look back
its what bitter serves
that revenge is sweet

There's a hatred
and resentment
disappointment
and fear
Frustration
despondency
dependency
and love
for this fucked up world

Its disillusionment
and acceptance
that makes me
take my time
there's got to be
something worthwhile to find
It made me what I've become

There must be something in the water
that makes people think they're clean
the filth and dirt of the lies we tried
We think its alright
Moments every day where priorities fade
Tryin to make sure that all is just right
The realities that we protect our selves from
come back with teeth
you know they bite

I want to crush the world
Crush it down
down beneath my feet
feeling it crumble
down, around

Feel it falling
and I don't look back
that revenge is sweet
Crush it down
