    Okay, one more. This song is EPIC, though.


    **COIN-OPERATED BOY - THE DRESDEN DOLLS

    Coin operated boy
    Sitting on the shelf, he is just a toy
    But I turn him on and he comes to life
    Automatic joy
    That is why I want a coin operated boy

    Made of plastic and elastic
    He is rugged and long-lasting
    Who could ever ever ask for more
    Love without complications galore
    Many shapes and weights to choose from
    I will never leave my bedroom
    I will never cry at night again
    Wrap my arms around him and pretend....
    /
    And if I had a star to wish on
    For my life I cant imagine
    Any flesh and blood could be his match
    I can even take him in the bath

    Coin operated boy
    He may not be real experienced with girls
    But I know he feels like a boy should feel
    Isn't that the point that is why I want a
    Coin operated boy
    With his pretty coin operated voice
    Saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
    Straight and to the point
    That is why I want
    A coin operated boy.

    how's this one?.....for the married, cheaters etc etc - BEWARE of explicit lyrics!!!

    Why d'ya do it? by Marianne Faithfull

    When I stole a twig from our little nest
    And gave it to a bird with nothing in her beak,
    I had my balls and my brains put into a vice
    And twisted around for a whole fuvking week
    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you let that trash
    Get a hold of your c@ck, get stoned on my hash?

    Why'd ya do it she said, why'd you let her suck your c@ck?
    Oh, do me a favor, don't put me in the dark
    Why'd ya do it, she said, they're mine all your jewels,
    You just tied me to the mast of the ship of fools

    Why'd ya do it, she said, when you know it makes me sore,
    Cause she had cobwebs up her fanny and I believe in giving to the poor
    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you spit on my snatch?
    Are we out of love now, is this just a bad patch?

    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did?
    You drove my ego to a really bad skid.

    Why'd you do it, she said, ain't nothing to laugh,

    You just tore all our kisses right in half!

    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd ya do what you did,
    Betray my little oyster for such a low b*tch

    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did?
    You drove my ego to a really bad skid

    Why'd ya do it, she screamed, after all we've said
    Every time I see your d$ck I see her c#nt in my bed

    The whole room was swirling,
    Her lips were still curling.

    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did
    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did
    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd ya do it, she said,
    Why'd you do what you did?

    Oh, big grey mother, I love you forever
    With your barbed wire p#ssy and your good and bad weather
    Why'd ya do it, she said, why'd you do what you did...

    Ah, I feel better now

    It's a Beautiful Day - Michael Buble.

    I don't know why
    You think that you could hold me
    When you couldn't get by by yourself
    And I don't know who
    Would ever want to tear the seam of someone's dream
    Baby, it's fine, you said that we should just be friends
    Well, I came up with that line and I'm sure
    That it's for the best
    If you ever change your mind, don't hold your breath

    'Cause you may not believe, mmm mmm mmm
    That baby, I'm relieved, mmm
    When you said goodbye, my whole world shined

    Hey hey hey
    It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
    If we're drinking, then I'm buying
    And I know there's no denying
    It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing
    And even if it started raining
    You won't hear this boy complaining
    'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away
    It's a beautiful day

    It's my turn to fly, so girls, get in line
    'Cause I'm easy, no playing this guy like a fool
    Now I'm alright
    Might've had me caged before, but not tonight

    And you may not believe, mmm mmm
    That baby, I'm relieved
    This fire inside, it burns too bright
    I don't want to say "so long," I just want to say "goodbye"

    It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
    If we're drinking, then I'm buying
    And I know there's no denying
    It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing
    And even if it started raining
    You won't hear this boy complaining
    'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away, mmm mmm

    'Cause if you ever think I'll take up
    My time with thinking of our break-up
    Then you've got another thing coming your way
    'Cause it's a beautiful day, mmm mmm
    Beautiful day, oh, baby, any day that you're gone away
    It's a beautiful day
