Favorite Songs: 139-135

139. "Jealousy" by Pet Shop Boys (Behaviour)
I am kind of surprised there aren't more Pet Shop Boys songs on this list, honestly. Granted, the only CD I have of theirs is Discography, the singles collection that came out in 1991. However, that only encompassed their first 3 albums. Since then, they've released 9 more albums, a live album, and a couple more singles collections and greatest hits albums. Anyway. That has nothing to do with this song. Honestly, when I bought Discography it was only for "West End Girls" and their cover version of "Where the Streets Have No Name." It instantly became one of my favorite CD's to listen to, especially for the slower moodier songs, like this one. If you can hunt down the actual video on YouTube, it's worth it. The live version I linked is good too, but the original video's better. Just couldn't embed it.
Line: "I never knew time passed so slow. I wish I'd never met you."



138. "The Last Beat Of My Heart" by Siouxsie and the Banshees (Peepshow)
This story is kind of the same as above. The only difference is I actually have a few other albums by Siouxsie and the Banshees, not just their singles collection. Peepshow is one of those albums, and the album version of this song is amazing. The version on the singles collection is live, and while it's still good, it kind of misses the atmosphere of this version. Either way, bad ass song from one of my favorite female singers.
Line: "At the close of the day the sunset cloaks these words in shadow play."



137. "Your Song" by Elton John (Elton John)
This one kinda had to be on here, seeing as how it was the song Holley and I danced to at our wedding. Otherwise, it honestly might not have even been included on this list. Still a classic song though.
Line: "I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is while you're in the world."



136. "Drop" by The Jesus and Mary Chain (Automatic)
I used to like this album a lot more in high school, but it's still a solid offering. My love for this song, though, has never changed. Clocks in at just under 2 minutes, and just leaves me longing for more.
Line: "The way you drop is like a stone. Make like you're flying, but you've just been thrown."



135. "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance (The Black Parade)
When we went to see My Chemical Romance in '08, this was one of the highlights of the show. (But not the highlight. That's later on the list. Ooooh! Foreshadowing!) I wasn't really a fan of this song until then, but it just stood out so much that I've liked it since. The video is so much of a ripoff of the "In the Flesh" scene from the movie Pink Floyd's The Wall that it's amazing these guys weren't sued for infringement.
Line: " They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me."
