I just noticed that the Promise Lyrics I gave you were incorrect in a few places. Here's the more accurate set:
"Promise" by Eve 6
Sleeping through the evening Singing dreams inside my head I'm heading out I've got some ins who say they care And they just might Run away with you If things don’t go as planned Plannin' big could be a gamble I've already rolled the dice
I spit and stutter stuff and clutter Worries in my worried corner Maladjusted just untrusted rusted sometimes brilliant busted thoughts Think I'll stay for a while I'm intrigued and I'm Red as a newborn, white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye I promise not to try not to let you down
I am elated I am all smiles and dated In my man bites dog town With a Spanish name I am all bone I am two-toned Red as a newborn, white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye I promise not to try not to let you down Don't let me down
Slow
Why do you gotta keep the fan on high when it’s cold outside? Just wanna let you know that I’m still a fan, get it? Everybody wants charm and a smile and a promise Well I promise not to try
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye I promise not to try not to not to leave (promise not to try) Not to leave (promise not to try) Not to not to leave-yay (promise not to try) I won’t leave I won’t leave
Have you heard it before? Because if you haven't, I was thinking about putting up some new MP3s tonight. Really, listening to it, it's so perfect.
Especially the end, where the promises of "I promise not to try not to leave" begins to overlap with "I won't leave," the opposite promise. And of course, "I promise not to lie when I'm looking you straight in the eye" makes me think of so many S/F scenes, like in Pierrot le Fou in the corridoor, and in RFB-II of course.
OMG. That's one of the icons I was going to do (RFBII)!
Oh yeah, I love that frickin' song! My sisters and I listen to it all the time. I originally heard it from a Buffy and Spike music video some time ago.
I don't know if you've seen it or not, so here's the link: http://bandofbuggered.com/promise.zip
Ah.... valereix's videos! Some of my all-time favorites. Have you seen her Spike vid to "Call Me Al" ? My favorite Spike vid of all fandom.
Yep, I loved it as a Spike/Buffy song too. It works for them, in a different way. It works for season 6. But the song has since been taken over in my brain as Spike/Faye. I think it suits them even better than S/B, since S/B have changed so much over the course of the relationship.

Sleeping through the evening
Singing dreams inside my head
I'm heading out
I've got some ins who say they care
And they just might
Run away with you
If things don’t go as planned
Plannin' big could be a gamble
I've already rolled the dice
I spit and stutter stuff and clutter
Worries in my worried corner
Maladjusted just untrusted
rusted sometimes brilliant busted thoughts
Think I'll stay for a while
I'm intrigued and I'm
Red as a newborn, white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye
I promise not to try not to let you down
I am elated
I am all smiles and dated
In my man bites dog town
With a Spanish name
I am all bone
I am two-toned
Red as a newborn, white as a corpse
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye
I promise not to try not to let you down
Don't let me down
Slow
Why do you gotta keep the fan on high when it’s cold outside?
Just wanna let you know that I’m still a fan, get it?
Everybody wants charm and a smile and a promise
Well I promise not to try
I promise not to try not to fuck with your mind
I promise not to mind if you go your way and I go mine
I promise not to lie if I’m looking you straight in the eye
I promise not to try not to not to leave
(promise not to try)
Not to leave
(promise not to try)
Not to not to leave-yay
(promise not to try)
I won’t leave
I won’t leave

Date: 2004-03-26 04:03 pm (UTC)It was only a few small things, but when it comes to lyrics I have to make stuff perfect, and incorrect lyrics piss me off.
