You with the sad eyes <br>don't be discouraged <br>oh I realize <br>it's hard to take courage <br>in a world full of people <br>you can lose sight of it all <br>and the darkness inside you <br>can make you fell so small <br><br>But I see your true colors <br>shining through <br>I see your true colors <br>and that's why I love you <br>so don't be afraid to let them show <br>your true colors <br>true colors are beautiful <br>like a rainbow <br><br>Show me a smile then <br>don't be unhappy, can't remember <br>when I last saw you laughing <br>if this world makes you crazy <br>and you've taken all you can bear <br>you call me up <br>because you know I'll be there <br><br>And I'll see your true colors <br>shining through <br>I see your true colors <br>and that's why I love you <br>so don't be afraid to let them show <br>your true colors <br>true colors are beautiful <br>like a rainbow <br>

Great song, ImAWaffle!<br><br>Now it will be stuck in my head for the rest of the night. <br>

i still think of OM when i hear "your body is a wonderland." i forget who mentioned something about <i>not</i> thinking of naughty songs, but that made it stick.

Nah, that don't make me think of O&M, but it's still a really good song.

I don't really see the connection either; maybe it's not so much the lyrics by themselves as the song as a whole.<br><br>And by the way, sorry I still haven't gotten around to storyboarding that other theme song idea. I suspect I'm putting it off on purpose 'cause I know it'll be a lot of work. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--> I'll try to get around to it though. <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You see, if everything I've heard is true, being gay in the Reagan era was even harder then it is today.<br><br>It was shortly after the song hit the airwaves and became a hit that her friend became stricken with AIDS. Remember, this was back in the days that AIDS was viewed as "a gay problem".<br><br>If you'll look over the lyrics again with this in mind, you'll see it isn't about romance. It's about encouraging someone you love to accept themselves, even if the rest of the world doesn't, because you've seen beyond the surface to the beutiful person that lies beneath.<br><br>And THAT'S why it reminds me of Ozy and Millie.

There are various Fiery Furnaces songs that remind me of O&M. Namely Chris Michaels, I guess, and Blancheflower (o/`I had a dexadrine... hyperactivity selective o/`). <br><br>Oh, and in lieu of the recent Hair Curse strips, here's a little something for our (creepy) friend, MR. CROSBY!<br><br>Almost cut my hair <br>It happened just the other day <br>It was getting kind of long <br>I could have said it was in my way<br><br>But I didn't and I wonder why <br>I feel like letting my freak flag fly<br>And I feel like I owe it to someone <br><br>Must be because I had the flu for Christmas <br>And I'm not feeling up to par <br>It increases my paranoia <br>Like looking into a mirror and seeing a police car <br><br>But I'm not giving in an inch to fear <br>Cos I promised myself this year <br>I feel like I owe it to someone <br><br>When I finally get myself together <br>I'm gonna get down in some of that sweet summer weather <br>I'm going to find a space inside to laugh <br>Separate the wheat from the chaff <br><br>Cos I feel like I owe it, yeah <br>Said I feel like I owe it, yeah <br>You know I feel---- like I owe it yeah to someone

>>Metallica - Of Wolf And Man<< ALWAYS reminds me of Ozy and Millie, but I have no idea why.<br>>>Green Day - Minority<< works too.

Maybe it's because Ozy looks similar to a wolf, as DCS had conceived him as one.
