"JAMES DEAN" BY THE GOO GOO DOLLS
This is such an amazing song.It's so sad and depressing but that's why I like it.Basically it's Johnny singing about how his life sucks and he wishes he somebody important like James Dean.Then near the end he kinda makes me laugh when he sings the part "Then you go and tell me you found out Dean was gay.Now,I don't wanna be James Dean...".The whole album is a really awesome punk album.I loved the old Goo Goo Dolls when they only did one soft song per album instead of this pop shit, but that's another story...
Look around outside Ain't nothing to do but hang around Think about all the stupid things that I've done I guess I ain't nothin' but a clown If I had a wish, I swear I'd wish, I'd wish for just one thing And I don't even like to think about all the things my wish'd bring 'Cause I just wanna be James Dean I just wanna be James Dean I just wanna be James Dean For a day I wanna be oversexed and underworked and look at me I'm such a jerk And I just wanna be James Dean For a day Think about stories of the actors and the movies stars Sittin' here watchin' the old men drinkin' at the bar I think about Dean and all the things he should've tried I think about Dean and all the ways he could've died Yeah died… And I wouldn't give a shit about anything 'cause I'd be such a big movie star And that don't really do me much good just cryin' at the bar But I just wanna be James Dean I just wanna be James Dean I just wanna be James Dean For a day See but I'm overworked and undersexed and look at me I'm such a wreck And I just wanna be James Dean For a day Going crazy 'cause I'm always all alone Going crazy no one calls me on the phone I think about Dean and I know Dean he wouldn't care If I was Dean I know there'd be somebody there Yeah there'd be somebody there For me... Yeah I think about all the really cool things I could do and say Then you go and tell me that you found out Dean was gay No, I don't wanna be James Dean I don't wanna be James Dean I don't wanna be James Dean Anymore... Hmmm...
