Okay, this is a gay one, but I was looking for texts for english "journeys" and came across the Phil Collins song "Son of Man". Pretty applicable. I also think that the Garth Brooks song "the river" is kind of okay as well. Not a country fan, but it's okay. I don't know if that helps. they may be too gay and cliche'.

aaah, I remember vitamin C graduation song. And that was when all of us 06ers were in year 6 gradutating form primary school. Primary School!!!! Now it's high school.

I remmber when my year 6 year had to perform it in front of the school. We were all singing it and then suddenly this random little year 3 boy burst into tears, and we all laughed. All those memories.

I can't think of any good songs from the top of my head, but if there are certain words you might want to sing then maybe google it with the words 'lyrics'. Not sure if that's the best idea, but i hope it works.

hey butthead.. lol

i burnt that CD for skewes and i added the song "i hope you dance" by leeAnn Womack...

yesh yesh, its been done before but oh well it goes with our year cause you know with the dancing..

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
and when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on the years and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on the years and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)"

oh well, you probably wont read this til tomorow cause its like 12:16am!! lol

I found some suitable lyrics... enjoy...

These are the best days, these are the best days,
These are the best days, these are the best days of our lives.
Time keeps changing everything, it's changing you and me,
It's moving all around us, keeps moving endlessly.
But nothing's ever gonna change the way I feel inside,
The memory is always gonna be alive, when I remember...
These are the best days - I remember love,
These are the best days, I remember how you always gave it all you've got,
These are the best days of our lives.
I remember all the good and bad times, the happy and the sad times,
And how you taught me to remember these are the best days of our lives.
I will walk beside you, when I hold your hand,
When I'm not sure what to do, you simply understand.
No matter where my life may lead, no matter where I go,
The memory will still be there for me to hold, when I remember...
Chorus
These are the best days, these are the best days,
These are the best days, these are the best days of our lives.
Time is changing everything, it's changing you and me,
But nothing's ever gonna take that away from me, when I remember...
Chorus
I remember, these are the best days, I remember love,
These are the best days, I remember love, love, love.

BUT who is it by you ask? .... *evil smile*...

the oh so lovely miss Nikki Webster, lol.

andrew bird - measuring cups

it's a song about school, it's about not being able to be up there with everyone else and the expectations school places on kids. i love it personally, may not be for everyone.

get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain
we'll give you a complex, and we'll give it a name

get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game
can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same
liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain

when you talk about the hand of glory
a tale that's rather grim and gory
is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
when the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed

i think they're gonna make you start over
you don't wanna start over
put your backpack on your shoulder
be the good little soldier
take your places now, cause we're all predisposed

measuring cups, play a new game
front of the class, measure your brain
give you a complex and we'll give it a name

when you talk about the hand of glory
a tale that's rather grim and gory
is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed?
when the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed

so put your backpack on your shoulder
be the good little soldier
it's no different when you're older
you're predisposed
that's all for questions
now, the case is closed

download it it's great.

Could be a song about sex and love.

It's got that sombre tone to it, a song of 'finality' and the an end of era aura to it...also it would be pretty cool hearing 60+ studnets sing the chorus together.

I think the other songs could be considered as a graduating song.

A couple of years ago the grad song for year 12 at my school was 'My Way' by Frank Sinatra, and that was really nice.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
" Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

this song was used on Laguna Beach during their graduation scene..

Time bt Chantel Kresuviak

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time

Apathy - School

Intro cuts : "You know, in school.
Everyone tries their very best to learn good habits
So we're going to try to do the very same thing
As we sing."
Verse 1 (character: Jeff)
All star quarterback, varsity letter, I drive a Jetta
A popular kid, my parents give me all my cheddar
Plus I date Heather, the flyest girl in our school
I got a very large house, with an inground pool
I rock Polo and Abercrombie & Fitch, I'm rich
Pompous and arrogant, makin' fun of nerd clicks
You motherf**kin' freaks and geeks are dumb
With ya painted white face, and pierced nose and tongue
I pass my classes with ease and get an "A"
Cheatin. cuz if I don't pass, I don't play
I'll shove you in ya locker and I'll get in ya face
Put you in ya place, cuz you f**kin nerds are a waste of air
Black clothes, blank stare, died hair
You could die tommorow and nobody would care
I'll push on the floor when all the halls are crowded
But you're just a wimp, whatcha gonna do about it?
[Hook]
No more homework, no more books
No more teachers dirty looks
No more detentions no more "F's"
No breath inside your chest.
No more homework, no more books
No more teachers dirty looks
No unpopular, no more cool
No more. school
Verse 2 (character: girl)
Four years of high school, I can't believe its here
My senior year, waitin for the crowd to cheer, at graduation
I haven't decided my occupation, but my major in college is gonna be
communications
I'm nice to everybody in school, whether cool, or uncool. I'm neutral
An outstanding pupil like my teachers say
I never missed a single day
Always on the honor roll, never less than an "A"
I help jocks with their grades, even that jerk Jeff
Who's an ass, but never woulda passed class with an "F"
Kids he picks on are smarter then him, and smaller than him
Never larger or taller than him
But this one kid, named Jay.
That jeff calls gay, and beats up, doesn't look very normal today
So I give a little smile and he gives one back
Then he walks by and reaches into his napsack
I feel like I wanna run, but my whole body's stunned
I can't believe it, but Jay's got a ..
[Hook]
Verse 3 (character: Jay)
My name is Jason, a real big fan of death
I sit back thinkin' of Jeff and I take a deep breath
How'd I'd love to fire 30 slugs into his chest, till nothin' is left
I'm always frustrated with stress, I want respect
Back when I was 6 I'd dissect insects, and spray house pets with Windex
I'm Beelzebub on drugs
The intellect of a David Berkowitz, roamin' on the internet
I'm sick of gettin pushed around bein' clowned
When I'm the most powerful evil being in town
I wake up at 5:30 and stare into space
Walk into my parents room and shoot 'em both in the face
Take a shower get dressed load my weapon for school
Walk thru the hall, step over the large blood pool
On the bus with a semi-automatic in knapsack
Smile on my face, as I sit in the back
Then I step into the building and I almost feel invincible
Wave to the nurse, say hi to the principal
Walk to to my locker, everything seems slow
Then I Jeff. and here we go
Weapons out the bag, people stop speakin', girls shreikin'
I start shootin' rounds till Jeff's chest is bleedin'
His head explodes then I start to reload
Nobody can hurt me now. cuz I'm in murder mode
Fire at everybody that's directly in my sight
But layin' on the ground on the somebody is I like
This girl who I've known who's always nice and talks to me
Crawls to me, coughin' up blood and awkwardly
Whispers two words right before her head drops
She opened her mouth and said. "please. stop"
I could never begin to describe the way I felt
I dropped to my knees, turned the gun on myself
And pulled the trigger.
Outro cuts: "You know, in school.."col=255;function fadein() { document.getElementById("lyrid").style.color="rgb(" + col + "," + col + "," + col + ")"; col-=5; if(col>0) setTimeout('fadein()', 10); }

lmao Good Riddance and that Vitamin C graduation song were the 2 songs they played repeatedly for 2 hours at my primary school graduation. :|

You know what would be hilarious, that song by Scott Cain (some guy from Popstars years ago who, from memory, used to frolick around on skateboards):

"I'm moving on, I'm feeling strong, I'm good as gone, [*cue the high pitch*] out of your heart babe"
