Songs about ADD?
Sitting in the morning sun
I`ll be sitting when
The evening come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch em
Roll away again, yeah
I`m sitting on
The dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I`m just sitting on
The dock of the bay
Wasting time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
Cause I`ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothing`s
Gonna come my way
So, I`m just gonna sit
On the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I`m sitting on
The dock of the bay
Wasting time
Look like nothing`s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can`t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I`ll remain the same, yes
Sitting here resting my bones
And this loneliness
Won`t leave me alone
It`s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now, I`m just gonna sit
At the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oowee, sitting on
The dock of the bay
Wasting time
sounds quite familiar.Well I know there is this song, and this band that sings it and I know it had meaning to me about all this stuff, but for the life of me I cant remember it - but it is in here somewhere. hmmmm maybe someone can make a song out of that.
I nominate "Don't Let Me Get Me" by Pink:
"Never win first place, I don’t support the team
I can’t take direction, and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can’t do nothin’ right
"Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can’t take the person starin’ back at me
I’m a hazard to myself
"Don’t let me get me
I’m my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don’t wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
"Doctor, doctor won’t you please prescribe me somethin'
A day in the life of someone else?
Cuz I’m a hazard to myself."
It's funny, I was just wondering the other day if Pink may have ADD! Ok, I need to go do some work now, enough play time for me.
Not necessarily songs written about ADD, but which tracks do you find sum up your condition the best?
I'd nominate three.
1) Supersonic by Oasis
I need to be myself
I can't be no one else
I'm feeling supersonic
Give me gin and tonic
You can have it all but how much do you want it?
2) Born of Frustration by James
All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self-control has just expired /
Stop stop talking about who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change /
I'm living in the weirdest dream
Where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one's who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
3) Zoo Station by U2
Time is a train
Makes the future the past
Leaves you standing in the station
Your face pressed up against the glass
I suppose a close fourth would be Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd, but that's a bit obvious isn't it?
