5 on Friday - Set 183

Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

Birthday girl time -- here are five tunes featuring singers born in August.

1 - Milk - Shirley Manson from Garbage

The first of our lionesses.  

2 - From This Moment - Shania Twain

3 - Wannabe - Geri Halliwell from the Spice Girls

4 - Bedroom Hymns - Florence Welch from Florence + the Machine

I featured this song not too long ago, when I discovered it in a Vikings fan video. I just love it. 

5 - Hung Up - Madonna

5 on Friday - Set 16

For today's 5 on Friday, I'd like to share five songs by Garbage, an alternative band that appeals to my badass side.

For more great tune-age, head over to Trav's Thoughts.

1 - Lick the Pavement

I learn to bribe
I learn to say please
Oh, won't you
Lick the pavement for me?

I like you best
When you're on your knees

- Erickson / Manson / Marker / Vig, 1998



2 - I'm Only Happy When it Rains

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down on me

- Erickson / Manson / Marker / Vig, 1995

3 - Hammering in My Head

Sweat it all out
Sweat it all out
With your bedroom eyes
And your baby pouts

Sweat it all out
In our electric storms
And our shifting sands
Our candy jars
And our sticky hands

- Erickson / Manson / Marker / Vig, 1998



4 - Special

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

- Erickson / Manson / Marker / Vig, 1998



5 - You Look So Fine

You look so fine
I want to
Break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You've got me
Tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down
Just to find out
I'm through
Living for you

- Erickson / Manson / Marker / Vig, 1998



Jamie says Okay nothing like a touch of Domination with a tinge of S & M on the side to start the Friday of a long weekend. :-)

Linda says I do believe that Jamie said it perfectly! This is what I love about this meme, it gives me a chance to listen to music that I may not have heard otherwise and broaden my horizons a little each week.

Mary says Oh Julia, I like them!
