I just can't get Everything with Alanis Morisette out of my head. Usually when a song gets itself stuck in my head it is entirely unwanted but somehow manages to plant itself inside my cranium and multiply so that even when I succeed in getting it out of my head it is still there, lurking in the shadows ready to jump forward and irritate the living hell out of me. This is not one of those time. This time it's voluntary...
I got to work at 8 this morning and put alanis on replay, so far I haven't turned it off... You see every morning I wake up with the same song echoing in the vacum that is my head - sadly it isn't Everything. Instead I get out of bed humming All my life I’ve been waiting
For you to bring a fairy tale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It’s not okay I don’t feel safe
And every morning I feel like throwing up while I scream bloddy murder and wish to god this song would just be Left Outside Alone, in the cold where it can die a slow, painful and hopefully violent death. Fortunatly when I blast the brilliant Everything, it manages to scare the terrible Anastacia travesty back into the shadows and instead I can joyfully declare how I can be an asshole of the grandest kind...
Everything
I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you’ve never met anyone who's
As negative as I am sometimes
I am the wisest woman you’ve ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you’ve ever seen
And you've never met anyone who's
As positive as I am sometimes
You see everything
You see every part
You see all my light
And you love my dark
You dig everything
Of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to
Which you can't relate
And you’re still here
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive, aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you never met anyone who's
As closed down as I am sometimes
You see everything
You see every part
You see all my light
And you love my dark
You dig everything of
Which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you’re still here
What I resist, persist, and speaks, louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter, how low or high I go
I am the funniest woman that you've ever known
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known
I am the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as everything as I am sometimes
You see everything
You see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you’re still here
You see everything
You see everything - you're still here...
