Is it everything you want it to be?

^-^

You know, it seems like everytime I hear that song, I always hear the same exact snippet?

Well, I heard it on Peterotica last night, in that little scene with the made up Jude Law and Renee Zellwegger movie thing where her face is like an anteaters, and when she starts eating the ants, 'Roll to me' by Del Amitri begins to play.

Of course, it's that same snippet I'm used to hearing...

... So I thought about it tonight, decided to gfind out what the band's name was, what the name of the song was, and I found it by looking for a description of Peterotica, which of course wound up including a description of this same scene, and by default named the song! Thn iread briefly about Del Amitri before getting bored and looking for the lyrics, which I've copied already, and will paste momentarily, then I looked for the music video. However, I didn't like the thumbnails, and when I saw an AMV someone made for it to Digi Charat right below the music video, I went 'OOh, a more fitting music video!' and headed straight for that. Either way I heard the whole song and damn is it short, but I still like the song.
It really does have a spring/summer sound, but I have to say... though there is a strangely 'spring' aspect to the song, there is also a summer aspect to the song, so I guess I'd better add it to the list!

When it's Over
Someday by Sugar Ray
This Love by Maroon 5
Remedy by Jason Mraz (was it, now??)
Hotel California by The Eagles, and
Roll to Me by Del Amitri
(I'm not including Beach Boys songs on this list initially because they have a LOT of songs that make me think of summer... Kokomo, for instance...)

Roll to me
song by Del Amitri

Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you want it to be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

Look into your heart pretty baby,
Is it aching with some nameless need?
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it?
right then,
roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So don't try to deny, pretty baby,
You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining it's the right time
to roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair.
so if you want ot talk the night through,
guess who will be there?

So look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you want to be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
