Theme Songs

Susan from Slice of Life did a meme where she came up with her song. And, well, it was too cool to not give a try:

But I have a few:

Mary Chapin Carpenter: I take My Chances

I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks
I stood on the rails till I saw that train
Just to see how my heart would react
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them I would not disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
I say fate should not tempt me
I take my chances,
I don't mind working without a net
I take my chances,
I take my chances every chance I get
I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette
I take my chances, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt
I take my chances,
I take my chances every chance I get
I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep
Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry
So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side
I take my chances, I pay my dollar and I place my bet
I take my chances,
I take my chances every chance I get
I take my chances,
I don't cling to remorse or regret
I take my chances,
I take my chances every chance I get
I take my chances
I take my chances

Finger Eleven: One Thing

Restless tonight cause I wasted the light
Between both these times I drew a really thin line
It's nothing I planned and not that I can
But you should be mine across that line
If I trade it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing wouldn't that be something
I promise I might not walk on by
Mabe next time but not this time
Even though I know
I don't want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds
If I trade it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing wouldn't that be something

And last but not least, my man Bruce Springsteen and Dancing in the Dark this one always gets turned up full volume on the radio

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on baby the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
