Song Lyrics

Every year during exams, I choose an exam song. I then listen to this song lots and lots of time during the period, including right before any given exam. This tradition dates back to I believe junior year of high school. While I won't reveal these songs, several of them are present in the lyrics that I have chosen.

Random song lyrics that are meaningful to me:

"Well I've traveled around, I've been all over this world,
Boy, I've never seen nothing like a Galway Girl." -Steve Earle, Galway Girl

"This is our decision, to live fast and die young,
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun.
Yeah it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?" -MGMT, Time to Pretend

"And my tires were slashed and I almost crashed, but the Lord had mercy,
and my machine she's a dud all stuck in the mud somewhere in the swamps of Jersey." -Bruce Springsteen, Rosalita

"She used to run track back in high school,
Now she tricks on the track right by school.
She takes the loss cause she don't want to see her child lose,
So respect her, or pay up for the time used." -Wyclef Jean, Sweetest Girl

"And you know it might not be that bad,
You were the best I ever had,
If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago,
I might not be alone." -Gin Blossoms, Hey Jealousy

"One minute I held the key,
next the walls were closed on me,
And I discovered that my castles stand,
on pillars of salt and pillars of sand." Coldplay, Viva La Vida
