The Lyrics

This song is about a girl that got dumped by her boyfriend. Since he's been gone, she's rather dissatisfied and feels ugly and she gets more and more snotty. She needs someone to talk to and since she lives in New York City and she doesn't have any friends, she's gonna see Julia Stiles in SoHo talking to her, trying to forget about her boyfriend...
I used to love wild life
Now I'm rather snobbish
i wake up, had a nightmare
and i don't know where the bathroom is
i don't know where to go
or what sky i am under
and i wake up in the darkness and i
don't have any friends
everyone has one
and a closet where they can keep him in
where are mine?
every song has a you
a you that the singer sings to
but i don't have any friends at all
baby, i m so snotty since you been gone

i need to wash my face
i use the back of my hand
and i like to take my make-up kit
just because i'm ugly
and i use my dress
to wipe the lipstick from my lips
i care more and more
what people think
and you lead a life without me
you always dissapoint me
sometimes it feels like i m choking
but it's really not funny
and i just want you to live up to
the image of you i create
i see you and i'm so disatisfied
i see for me and you it is too late

so i'll walk through the park
with a dumb smile on my face
if i'm gonna go down to SoHo
i'm goin' to Julia Stiles
and you will see me surrender
you will hear me confess
'cuz you gave me nothing
but this ugly dress
and i m staying with her long enough
and i m gonna close the door
and then i hear it click shut behind me
and every key works differently
i forget everytime when i m with her
she would never deny me
that's what defines me

Now this is different than most of what comes along here. Going for a new story, not humor. Can't really rate it 'cause I don't know the OS, but i like what you're trying to do. Say, is 'snobish' really the alternative to 'wild life?'

Well, you know, it's not that easy making up songs that already exist in away. I mean, you can't totally change the whole story because then the song wouldn't be realted to the original. But I know what you're saying =). I had some difficulties since the songs should make sense, but snobish is of course NOT the alternative to wild life...
