*Lyrics in bold are ones that I think are particularly significant!
From 'Walter Reed'- Michael Penn
I count the cases piled up high
For the 1:15.
For platform and for passerby
It's the same routine.
I'm ranting while I'm raving,
There's nothing here worth saving.
Tell me now, what lebih do anda need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything.
Well there's a few things I gotta say
And make no mistake, I'm mad.
'Cause every good thing I've had
Abandoned me.
All I want to do is hide.
It's graduation day
And everything I learned inside
Didn't seem to pay.
I've had my fill of palm trees
And lighting up Grauman's Chinese.
Tell me now, what lebih do anda need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything
And there's a few things I gotta say.
Make no mistake, I'm mad.
'Cause every good thing I had
Abandoned me.
A sad and lonesome me.
I'm the walking wounded
And I'd say it to your face
But I can't find my place.
So tell me now, what lebih do anda need?
Take me to Walter Reed tonight.
Baby I've lost the will for fighting
Over everything
And there's a few things I gotta say.
Make no mistake, I'm mad
'Cause every good thing I had
Abandoned me.
A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.
A sad and lonesome me.
This songs always reminds me of how House is in general. Sort of brooding and melancholy but in a way, kind of upbeat about his own misery.
From 'See The World'- Gomez
hari to day
Where do anda want to be?
'Cos now you're trying to pick a fight
With everyone anda need
You seem like a soldier
Who's lost his composure
You're wounded and playing a waiting game
In no-man's land no-one's to blame
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been berkata and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that anda earned
Empty handed, surrounded oleh a senseless scene
With nothing of significance
Besides a shadow of a dream
You sound like an old joke
You're worn out, a bit broken
Asking me time and time again
And the answer's still the same
See the world
Find an old fashioned girl
And when all's been berkata and done
It's the things that are given, not won
Are the things that anda earned
You've got a chance to put things right
So how's it going to be?
Lay down your arms now
And put us beyond doubt
So reach out it's not too far away
Don't mess around now, don't delay
See the world...
This song reminds me of how people see House. People who care about him, like Cuddy, Wilson, Cameron and Stacey, see him as a tough but also fragile man and I think this song captures that!
From 'Are anda Alright?'- Lucinda Williams
Are anda alright?
All of a sudden anda went away
Are anda alright?
I hope anda come back around someday.
Are anda alright?
I haven't seen anda in a real long time.
Are anda alright?
Could anda give me some kind of sign?
Are anda alright?
I looked around me and anda were gone.
Are anda alright?
I feel like there must be something wrong.
Are anda alright?
Cause it seems like anda disappeared.
Are anda alright?
Cause I've been feeling a little scared.
Are anda alright?
Are anda sleeping through the night?
Do anda have someone to hold anda tight?
Do anda have someone to hang out with?
Do anda have someone to hug & ciuman you?
Hug & ciuman you
Hug & ciuman you
Are anda alright?
Are anda alright?
Is there something been bothering you?
Are anda alright?
I wish you'd give me a little clue.
Are anda alright?
Is there something anda want to say?
Are anda alright?
Just tell me that you're OK.
Are anda alright?
Cause anda took off without a word.
Are anda alright?
anda flew away like a little bird.
Are anda alright?
Is there anything I can do?
Are anda alright?
Cause I need to hear from you.
Are anda alright?
Are anda sleeping through the night?
Do anda have someone to hold anda tight?
Do anda have someone to hang out with?
Do anda have someone to hug & ciuman you?
Hug & ciuman you
Hug & ciuman anda
Are anda alright?
Are anda alright?
Are anda alright?
This song makes me think of House's relationship with Wilson and Cuddy. They are constantly trying to help him out and make sure he is okay. But, like in the song, they repeat themselves ("Are anda alright? Are anda alright") But House often ignores them atau does the opposite of what they say.
I also like the lyrics from 'Got To Be lebih Careful' oleh Jon Cleary. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the full lyrics, but the song definately reminds me of the battles House has faced against both Vogler and Tritter. And, of course, the infamous 'You Can't Always Get Want' oleh The Rolling Stones/Band From TV.......
YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT anda WANT.
BUT IF anda TRY SOMETIMES,
WELL,
anda JUST MIGHT FIND...
anda GET WHAT anda NEED!
Oh yeah.
