Does Anyone Else Do This?

I've heard the joke that the only difference between a love song and a Christian contemporary song is that instead of "baby" they change the word to "Jesus". Well it works the other way too.

I've never had someone to put on the other end of all the love songs I hear on the radio. So I've started imagining God singing them to me or me singing them to God.

But not the gross ones with sexual innuendos.

In your end-o.

Stand Out Above the Crowd

My inspiration song for when I get job rejections:

Open up your eyes take a look at me
If the picture fits in your memory
I've been dreamin by the rythym like the beat of a heart
And i won't stop until I start to stand out

Some people settle for the typical thing
Livin' all their lives waitin' in the wings
It ain't a question of 'if', just a matter of time
Before I move to the front of the line

And once you're watchin' ev'ry move that I make
Ya gotta believe that I got what it takes

(Chorus)
To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me

If the squeaky wheels always gettin the greese
I'm totally devoted to disturbin the peace
And I'll do it all again, when I get it done
Until I become your number one

No method to the madness and means of escape
Gonna break every rule I'll bend them all out of shape
It ain't a question of 'how' just a matter of when
You get the message that I'm tryin to send

I'm under a spell, I'm in over my head
And you kno I'm going all of the way, till the end

To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out 'til you notice me, yeah


If I could make you stop and take a look at me instead of just
Walkin' by
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
If it was gettin' you to notice
I'm alive

All I need is half a chance, a second thought, a second glance'll prove
I got whatever it takes
It's a piece of cake

To stand out
Above the crowd
Even if I gotta shout out loud
'Til mine is the only face you see
Gonna stand out
Stand out, hey
Stand out!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Stand out!
(Hmph!)
'Til mine's the only face you see
Gonna stand out
'Til you notice me
