Lyrics Dump.

Okay- so I write lyrics, and I play the piano. You'd think I'd be a great song-writer right? Yeah, no. I write lyrics because I really enjoy doing so, and although I can come up with a tune- sheet music is really hard for me to do, so I end up having piles and piles of lyrics with no music.

Solution? I dump them here and if anyone stumbles across them, they can use them! I mean, they're not great, and I mean, I have my own tune for them - but hey! If someone is a budding guitarist and needs some quick lyrics for practice? Go ahead.

Rules? Let me know you're using them via e-mail - Ohsnapz@rocketmail.com. That's about it, I don't need credit if you don't want to give it. Also, if you want to know the tune I had in mind - email as well, I'll get it to you somehow- I'm no singer but I could always just hum it and send it via skype or youtube ;D

I'm nearly 100% sure no one will ever use these, but I may as well put them out there, right? ;D

[Note - most of these are based on books. IE Harry Potter ;D]

To Rosie

[wizard rock]

It's been years since I heard her voice, singing lullabies to me
It's been hard but I made my choice to always hold tight and follow my dreams
And I know its been tough on her and hard on dad
To see me go through the rough and the tough and the bad
It's true that my life is far from what they wanted it to be
But I'm glad of the path I've chosen and how it lead myself to me

But mom, I'll always remember the not you stuck on my bag the day I left
I was worried what it said and that you were pleading me to come back

[Chorus]
But the note said; Hey Rosie I just wanted to say life's always hard at this stage and I'm warning you now it gets harder day by day
I wanted to warn you that, not everybody comes back and sometimes lies turn out to be fact
Friends are easier to lose to then keep but you gotta work at it don't be beat, just keep strong and stay on your feet
If love comes your way take a jump, but don't just fall for any old chump, I'm tellin' you now its worth the fear to confront
And don't forget I'll always love you, no matter what you've been through, just do whatever it is you have to do, Love mum.

Since that day I've followed her words on the note inside my pocket
I've known between the lines that until I'm ready I shouldn't go back yet
Sometimes brooms start to get old and the outside world turns mean
But her writing on a dog-eared note is usually all that I need.

[CHORUS]

Mum hey, it's been years since you left me that letter
Life's been hard and times got tough but somehow you always made it better.
Thought I'd let you know I've found a man who I think is the one
And with your help fell in love
I can't wait to see you and dad again
Just calm him down about Scorp, he's way different then his old man

[CHORUS]

Hey mom, long time no chat, I feel like it's been forever
Hope things are going well since my wedding and your healthy as ever
We've just got news no need to be scared
But you and Dad had better best get prepared
Because when Christmas comes this year
Instead of two, we'll be a group of three to ring in the seasonal cheer

[CHORUS]

It's been too long, your granddaughters moving out of home
Says she needs to see the world, to venture and roam
I told myself I wouldn't cry, that I knew this was always coming.
That It's a beautiful, smart creature she's becoming
But even though Scorp told me it's best not to cling
I had to do just one small thing

I stuck a note on one of her bags the day that she left
I know she was worried about what it said, and if it was pleading for her to come back

[CHORUS]

The Ballad of Neville & Hannah

[wizard rock]

Part of a song- [Neville and Hannah, sing to each other]


Hannah - Could you write me a song, straight from the heart, full of chords and verses that paint lovely art? And that song could it possibly be full of life, packed with love pretty phrases and shinning sunlight.

Neville - Honey, I could and I can do that for you if it chases the nightmares and scary thoughts too. I'll do it if once again you could peacefully sleep, and hear no longer that night full of screaming and weeps

Hannah - Darling I know that it was a long time ago, but still I hear them cry. The night was long and the fight was hard, so many had to die

Neville - Sweetie I know, oh I hear them too, they fill your every thought. Something like the great battle of Hogwarts could not easily be forgot

[CHORUS & such]



Snape to Lily

[
wizard rock]


It's fallen down, I've lost hope no reasons now no way to cope
Tears fall down my cheeks let them wash away what you meant to me , for now, for now.
You were a blinding light that shined strong and your memory will live on in me, in me.
You were perfect like the sunset,a ll colors, sunshine held no regret, unlike me, unlike me
Because the sunset of my life is gone, day and night will live on without me, without me, but no blending will I see. because to start again is to give up, and I've caused enough
Can't you see? Can't you come back to me, Lily
Loose lips do sing ships and the debris of my mistake is coming in with the tide
Because when the happenings of that night took place I was not the one by your side
But I wish I were, everyday, If only the pain could fade away so I could finally say what I need to say, Lily
Beauty like the flower, but fire did you innocence devour, because of me all me.
Once upon a time was how your live did start until your Happily ever after fell apart
Blame me, blame me Lily
He stole you and you left with him, I know I don't want to forget, but my memories are all gone now, and my fading light is of regret
Will I see you again, Lily? Am I going where you are, Lily?



From Simon To Jace [City of Bones]

Jace, Jace, I hate your face, I'd wish you'd go away and wallow in disgrace
Cause you've got everything I've ever wanted

With your stupid golden eyes and your perfect blond hair
and the way you act like you just don't care
Isn't what I really need right now

'Cause you've got Clary in you little twist
And my arrows back but I think I'm going to miss
My target's moving too fast now

My heart's in the hands of a girl you've seduced
And I wish into a pile of black ash you'd reduce
And draw your hand away from my girl

Just because you see perfect her and she can see you
Stupid ignorant and obsessed with your hairdo
Doesn't mean you get to take away my world

Instead of stepping back, I'm stepping up
And I'll hunt you down 'til you've had enough
You won't get Clary this time, no not this time.

You say you're part angel, but I don't agree
In fact you act more like the devil if you ask me
But who am I, a mundane, to say how I feel

I don't care if you fight demons of the horrors of your past
If you were ever dying in a ditch, I'd get there last
Just so you could feel the pain in which I reel

Because I've loved that girl for ten whole years
And who are you to just suddenly appear
And take away my best friend?

My heart's in the hands of a girl you've seduced
And I wish into a pile of black ash you'd reduce
And draw your hand away from my girl

Just because you see perfect her and she can see you
Stupid ignorant and obsessed with your hairdo
Doesn't mean you get to take away my world

Instead of stepping back, I'm stepping up
And I'll hunt you down 'til you've had enough
You won't get Clary this time, no not this time.

But the sad part is, I don't really hate you
Because as annoying as you are, I think her feelings are true
Falling for you just seems like something she was born to do..

My heart's in the hands of a girl you've seduced
And I wish into a pile of black ash you'd reduce
And draw your hand away from my girl

Just because you see perfect her and she can see you
Stupid ignorant and obsessed with your hairdo
Doesn't mean you get to take away my world

Instead of stepping back, I'm stepping up
And I'll hunt you down 'til you've had enough
You won't get Clary this time, no not this time.


You won't get Clary this time, no not this time.




Hogwarts Rap

[wizard hop/rock]

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry
Four houses stand tall within thee
House colors of red, Green, yellow & blue
With you, 'til the end, I'll always stand true

As a ravenclaw I always try my best
Intelligence and wit beyond the very rest
Academic achievements values my worth
Never going back and always going forth

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry
Four houses stand tall within thee
House colors of red, Green, yellow & blue
With you, 'til the end, I'll always stand true

Hufflepuffs are known to be true friends
We are always loyal and quick to defend
Head held high, smile on my face
Hufflepuff is a very special place

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry
Four houses stand tall within thee
House colors of red, Green, yellow & blue
With you, 'til the end, I'll always stand true


As a Slytherin, I', known to be cunning
If there's ever a conflict, I know I'll be running
I value myself above all the others
Ambitious and strong, I don't help one another

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry
Four houses stand tall within thee
House colors of red, Green, yellow & blue
With you, 'til the end, I'll always stand true

Finally, I'm a Gryffindor known for my brave heart
In a battle I know and always play my part
I act before I think, I have to save the helpless
I try to stay strong but often end up in a mess

Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and wizardry
Four houses stand tall within thee
House colors of red, Green, yellow & blue
With you, 'til the end, I'll always stand true
With you 'til the end, I'll always stand true.






To Fred [I Miss You]


[wizard rock]

Twins like none ever were
Now that's the past, it's like the present, can't tell time straight anymore

Upside down, twisted turned around
Stand up tall, don't you let them see you frown
Oh I wish it were that easy
Oh I wish you were still here
I wish my stomach wasn't so queasy
Whenever a mirror's near

[CHORUS]
Couldn't imagine life without you
But the world keeps moving, I guess I'll have to too
And even if it takes a while
Don't lose hope Fred - I'll meet up with you soon

Fred when you died
You stole the sun now I'm sitting watching clouds to by
Fred, is this the end?
Now you're gone, so am I, no use to pretend
Fred everything's not alright
We won the battle but you lost the fight

[CHORUS]

Fred we all miss you so much
Trying to sense but I'm losing touch
Fred we all love you still
You left a hole no one could ever fill
Feels like I'm trapped in a cage
Feelin' way too old for my age

[CHORUS]

Fred I think I found someone to hold
She's so brave, so smart, so bold
And Fred, I'd be ashamed if you saw
how when I'm with her, your lose isn't so raw
I think I'm starting to move on
But I'm scared if I do, you'll be gone

[CHORUS]

Fred, it's so weird holding new life in your hands
Right now my son doesn't understand
Why I want to cry when I look into his eyes
Or why he's got the name of a true hero who died

[CHORUS]

I'll meet up with you soon




Hufflepuffs ROCK!

wizard rock

Gryffindors they strut around, head held proud and high
They're brave and chivalrous and stupid enough to die

The Ravenclaws they pride themselves on brainary and wit
But when it comes exam time their in a right old fit

Don't even get me started on those snakes who think their cool
They're stupid and their ugly and I don't get how they pass school

But hufflepuffs are loyal true friends 'til the end
If I were you I'd start making Hufflepuff friends




Hogwartian Muggle

[wizard rock]

I've got to admit, had my friends worried from the start
Fictional characters stole my heart
And for me, the day isn't done
Until I've used a Sirius Pun
Everyone else sports Abercrombie & Fitch
I wear my house tie like any other witch
I just don't think the general population
Realizes what's sweeping the nation

[CHORUS]
I'm on a diet of chocolate frogs
Harry Potter's the first boy I've wanted to snog
Broom sticks are the only way to travel
I can only hope my house scarf won't unravel
On my way to see a show of Wrock
Dobby the house elf stole my socks
I've come to realize I don't belong in a muggle world
I'm proud to admit I'm a Harry Potter fangirl

Can't watch soccer anymore
Why use one ball when you can play with four?
I swear Twilight's only a phase
We don't want Cedric back anyway
I'm constantly re-living on Fanfiction.net
Myleaky is where my friends and I met

[CHORUS]

When forced in a conflict I wish I had my wand
Through the years me and Harry developed a bond
Crookshanks is the name of my cat
'A'? I'd rather an 'O' then that
For all those who died, we'll never forget
I accidentally told Tom Riddle's diary all my secrets

[CHORUS]

If I have twins, I'm naming them George and Fred
If I want Harry or James, I gotta be a redhead
I'm skippin' Math for Aritmancy
Everything Dumbledore says should be an inspirational quote
Mudblood is the worse insult
Danial Radcliffe makes my heart do somersaults

[CHORUS]

I don't care the series has come to an end
Sorry- my movies are out on lend
You can say whatever you want
I'll continue to use my HP font
Call me a loser, call me a freak
But some day a wizard rock star I'll be

[CHORUS]

Harry Potter fangirl



Neville Sweetheart

[wizard rock]

Neville sweetheart, I see through your eyes
Through the smiles and the mess-ups and the disguise
I know she loves you, I know that she does
But it just ain’t the same as your parents love

You might not remember how warm were their smiles
And you can’t turn the memories back like a dial
And sometimes you wonder what it’d be like
If they knew your name, and they held you tight

Every time you get on the red train
You sit alone and you think once again
How can you manage a whole ‘nother year?
You sigh to yourself and you choke back the tears

You might not remember how warm were their smiles
And you can’t turn the memories back like a dial
And sometimes you wonder what it’d be like
If they knew your name, and they held you tight

You wonder why your so clumsy and why the lack of friends
You wonder if you’ll have the strength to fight ‘til the very end
People often wonder, how you got in Gryffindor
But you smile that the banner you’re under, is just like your father’s before

You might not remember how warm were their smiles
And you can’t turn the memories back like a dial
And sometimes you wonder what it’d be like
If they knew your name, and they held you tight

They wonder where you found the strength, when you looked in his red eyes
You helped defeat Voldemort, and you took that snake down by surprise
But I think I know what you saw, as you swung that sword
The happy look on your mother’s face, and how you wish you’d seen it more

You might not remember how warm were their smiles
And you can’t turn the memories back like a dial
And sometimes you wonder what it’d be like
If they knew your name, and they held you tight

If they knew your name, and they held you tight.



THERE WE GO! <3

DFTBA,
Lori (:

omigodz fangirls

Yes, I'm sure, by looking at the date I'm posting it, and the title, you have miraculously figured out the subject of this blog;Twilight. Oh, how they scream ! Oh, how they ravish the being that is Edward Cullen. They, I mean, the fangirls. In which I put myself as a center of them. I am the fangirl; the fangirl is me.

Now, you have to see my case before I go on a rant. I read. I read. And, I read. I have always loved books, and I always will. Since 2006 (the summer New Moon released) I was drooling over Jasper Hale, (and of course Edward Cullen). I threw my book at my friends; forcing them to read it so we could have squeling discusstions. I brought them into my circle of Twilight, and slowly, but surely, we began to grow (the Twilighters). At least in my region, because already there were so many across the country, the world, the universe ! You had to search for the fan sites, but they were sure there. And slowly people began to discover them, and soon they caught on, that the Twilighters were growing to a level that could compete with Harry Potter. "The New Harry Potter" they accused us. As if. Could Harry even play on the same level as Edward ? No, they were too different. But for some reason, we crossed each other's territorys. Harry Potter's fandom slowly crept into bookstores, silently, with comoflage, buying Twilight and loving it. As did the fans of Twilight, finially tempting into reading the series. And, from there it became something larger. There were of course those fighting on either side "HARRY POTTER" some yelled. "TWILIGHT FTW!" others screamed. But we could chose neither. They are both amazing, we would reason. Stop the war !

But soon, to no one's surprise, Twilight was optioned for a movie for the second time (the first being shot down). Stephenie Meyer, finally agreeing to the smaller production company, Summit Entertainment, take it. And of course, they went at it, took the bull by the horns. Did they truly know what they were getting in to ? Twilight was already huge, but it was still somehow hidden underground. Did Cathrine or the producer's really understand what any of us would do for a bite ? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Obiously the stars didn't. They didn't comprehend until the film was released; and "others" began "loving" it.

This is where I get pissed off. The kids who now flaunt around my school (and I'm sure others) don't really understand Twilight. They see simply some "really hot guy" the new "Chace Crawford" or "Zac Efron" or something. Not the literary art that is Twilight. I'm sure some of them didn't even know what a book was before seeing how big it was. Twilight hasn't become loved, or adored, or truly understood; it has become a trend. Something that is seems everyone has to follow. Oh, how I use to get looks for giggling with friends about how hot the Cullens were (along with every other book related subject). Now, I can barely walk down the hallway without some "popular" kid gushing about Robert Pattinson. IT WAS EVEN ON MUCH MUSIC. That' was where I knew we'd fallen through a hole. How could these illiterate "fans" even dare call themselves "Twi-hards"? I question. How could we allow this to happen to our beloved books ? Who knows. But perhaps this is why I've fallen from loving them. Why it annoys me to see everyone "loving" the books. Lies, I tell you, lies.

Moving on.

The movie was by far; amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it was. Catherine Hardwick is by far my favorite director. I get what they were all saying now; they didn't change the STORY really. I mean, some scenes were cut; others added, but realistically, nothing made me scrutch up my face and be like "wtf? what is this?". I was there giggling, gasping, awwwing, squeling and cheering along with the movie at the moments that called for it. I mean, some parts, were suppose to be super serious, but just turned out to be really funny; and the humans are my heros. Without a doubt, I'm joining the Micheal Welch fan club. He's an amazing actor. And out of all of them, I was so proud to see him on the screen. Maybe it's because he's been the one so in tuned with the fans, or maybe it's because NoMoreMarbles has interviewed him. Who knows, but I pretty much squeled when ever I saw him. And Jackson. Him and his face...

So, overall, fangirl or not; SEE THE MOVIE. I don't even care. You have no excuse. And don't use that "vampire movies aren't my type.." shit. Because, if you like action or romance or comedy or just about any movie genre; you'll love Twilight. So go. Get tickets. Or I'll send the spider monkeys after you. >;D

The world through NaNoWriMo.

NaNoWriMo can be the most helpful thing, or the most treacherous. It can be amazingly simple, or finger-breaking hard. It's one of those things that one day you want to pull out your hair, others you just sit back and go "wow".

NaNoWriMo stands for "National Novel Writing Month". Your goal ? 50 000 words. Your time frame ? November 1st to the 30th. Your diet ? Halloween treats and flat coke.

Now, I'm sure your staring, blinking, at the screen. Fifty. Thousand. Words. IS SHE MAD ?!

The answer; Yes. I'm completely, utterly, and proudly insane. I beat kids with inflatable dolphins, and I like to blare 1920's country music through open windows.

But that's besides the point.

Nothing is more fun then TRYING to achieve something. You may fail horribly (as I, myself, expect to do). Or accomplish something beyond your greatest dreams. You may, in the end, need to spend some quality time with those men who give you the nice white jacket, and have fun bouncing around in a rubber room. Or, you could be in the next local paper; your NaNoWriMo published, because, you succeeded in writing the story you've always meant to write, but, "didn't have the time".

All this, of course, revolves around your ability to cope, and your attention span. Which I have very little of (attention span that is). If you can, as many can't, sit down in front of your computer screen for, oh, a few hours a day, just typing? Kudos to you. Because, if anything, that's my principal weakness.

None the less. This entire blog entry is actually me procrastinating writing.

It's working.

But, alas, I need to continue.

Comment, if you too feel the burn of NaNoWriMo.

Saturday the 14th

Hey all you people who just might have stuck around, to read this less then entertaining piece of the internet! Yaaaaayyy ! Actually I really do commend you for not being all mean like, and posting mean, mean things about me. Actually, your all so nice you didn't post anything at all. Thanks. Mhm, getting on. If you noticed the title of this here blog, it's Saturday the 14th. In case there are some out there who are really, really bad at dates, that means yesterday day was the 13th, and a Friday ! Dun, dun, duuuuuunnnn. Okay so, I personally am a little superstitious. A little, as in I don't step on cracks or walk under ladders. Mostly because it's obvious.. Did you ever realize that all superstitions are completely just made up of common sense ? Like, for your best interest and intelligence, most people wouldn't go out of their way to walk under a ladder. Because, you, if you have the brain of someone over a two-year-old, would realize that it could fall, or something/someone on it could drop to the ground, you being the object between them. Common sense. Same with everything else. "Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mothers back", more like "Don't step on a crack or you'll break your back from tripping".. Yes, i know the other sounds cooler with it's ryming and such, but you get my drift, eh ? So anyway, that's todays rant. Tune in next week for more on Lori's spare time..

First Blog ?!

Hello to all of you bored enough to be reading this soon to be legendary corner of of the internet. I am one of many and few words, someone who reads like crazy and writes just the same. Actually, I really got this as a joke. You see, I use a lot of codes, role play, msn, you tube.. blah blah all the time. So my friend was actually informing me of her vision of myself in the future; old, jobless, in my parents basement writing blogs with blacked out windows. Haha, well, I'm sure I've created a great reason to be made fun of now. Actually, I really do love the computer, I own a lot of sites. You know, where all the cool nerds hang out. Piczo, Myspace, Facebook, Gaia, and now, I am here, discussing to you on my newest craze ; Blogger ! Amazing is it not ? Actually, this is really just a stepping stone. I'm probably going to use this blog for a lot more then chatting aimlessly to probably no one at all. I really do love discussing pieces of literature, and having punctual, mature debates with people. Hopefully this dreadfully dull artless blog will become the thing of homepages !
