I've been really bored lately so I started to catalogue my c.d's onto my computer. I came across many c.d's that I'd forgotten I had. Anyway, to cut a long story short I started playing some of them and when I heard this HEART song it just reminded me, in part, of Buffy and Spike.

MAGIC MAN
(all rights belong to Ann & Nancy Wilson)

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
You don't have to love me yet
But let's get high awhile
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
I'm a magic man."
Winter nights we sang in tune
Played inside the months of moon
Never think of never
Let this spell last forever
Summer over passed to fall
Tried to realise it all
Mama says she's worried
Growing up in a hurry

"Come on home girl" mama cried on the phone
"Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home"
"But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a magic man, mama
Hes's a magic man

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you a woman from a child
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a magic man, oh yeah
He's got magic hands

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
You don't have to love me yet
But let's get high awhile"
But try to understand
Try to understand
Try, try, try to understand
He's a magic man."

Anyone else wanna share songs they think sum up Spike, any of his relationships or predicaments?

I've always thought this Buzzcocks song summed up Spike and Buffy's relationship, particularly in S6:

"Ever Fallen In Love With Someone (You Shouldn't've Fallen In Love With)?"

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame
What a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you
And that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

You know I am no shipper, but I reckon Spike could sing GOTR's very own "Good Night Sweet Girl" to Buffy.... Charlie DeMars very excellent work:

Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.

Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone

So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me

Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably wont...

Because there will be...

There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear
Say they'll take away you sadness
And your fears

They may be kind and true
They may be good for you
But they'll never care for you
More than I do

I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend

To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other till the end
Of time...

Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me
But i know it's still there
Even when you sleep

So I say, good night sweet girl

OK I'm totally over Coldplay now but I do still love the song 'Yellow', it always made me think of Spike (for a coupla lines in particular, see in bold below) but then someone posted a screensaver over at the JM board with loads of images of Spike accompanied by 'Yellow' which now adorns my pc at home ;D

Coldplay
Yellow

Look at the stars; look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all yellow

I came along; I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
And it was all yellow

Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know?
You know I love you so
You know I love you so

I swam across; I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cos you were all yellow

I drew a line; I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow

And your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know?
For you I bleed myself dry
For you I bleed myself dry


It's true
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for...
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine for you
Look how they shine

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And all the things that you do

well the song that reminds me of him is 'everywhere' by michelle branch, the lyrics just ring true about how i feel bout him.......

"turning inside out so i can see, the part of you thats drifting over me,

and when i wake your, your never ther and when i sleep your, your everywhere, your everywhere

just tell me how i got this far, just tell me why your here and who you are,

cos every time i look your never there, and everytime i sleep your always there

cos your everwhere to me, and when i close my eyes its you i see your everything i know that makes me belive....im not alone, no no


i recognise the way you make make me feel, its hard to think that you mite not be real

i sense it now the waters getting deep, i try to wash the pain away from me....away from me.....


cos your everywhere to me, and when i close my eyes its you i see, your everything i know that makes me believe im not alone ...no no...im not alone

im not alone

let me touch your hand, its then i understand, the beauty thats withing, its now that we begin,

you always light my way there never comes a day no matter where i go, i always feel you so

your everywhere to me and when i close my eyes its you i see your everything i know that makes me believe im not alone cos your everywhere to me and when i clatch my breath its you i belive your everything i know that makes me believe im not alone

your everything i see so tell me do you see me? "

One song that reminds me of Spike, especially around the time of Crush and Season Seven, when his appearance changed and he kept showing up out of the blue, is Avril Lavignes- "Complicated"

"Complicated"

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become

Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no

You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become

[Incogni2]

Well, for Season 7, the lyrics are simple [glow=red,2,300]I can't get no satisfaction[/glow]

[lozz0900]

Ok, this may be completly off the mark and i think its more vampires in general but on my kerrang Album is a song by a band called Disturbed and its called "awaken you" the chorus goes Awaken you, with a little evil inside and it always makes me think of a newly sired vamp wakeing up with the demon inside them......

to be the bad man
to be the sad man

Tom Petty the visionary...

"Spike"
By Tom Petty
Copyright © 1984 Gone Gator Music ASCAP

Oh, we got another one, just like the other ones
Another bad ass, another trouble-maker
I'm scared, ain't you boys scared?
I wonder if he's gonna show us what bad is?
Boys, we got a man with a dog collar on
You think we oughta throw ol' Spike a bone?
Hey Spike what do you like?
Hey Spike what do you like?
Here's another misfit, another Jimmy Dean
Bet he's got a motorbike,
What'a y'all think?
Bet if we be good we'll get a ride on it
If he ain't too mad about the future --
Maybe we oughta help him see
The future ain't what it used to be
Hey Spike, you're scarin' my wife
Hey Spike what do you like?
Please Spike, tell us 'bout life?

[Pluto7077]

My most favourite Robbie Williams song is Better Man and I always think of Spike when I hear it, especially S7.

Better Man

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harmIn pouring rain

Give me endless Summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul feels the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Go easy on my conscience
'Cause it's not my fault
I know I've been taught
To take the blame

Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I'm in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man

Once you've found that lover
You're homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around

I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But love is still around

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain

Give me endless Summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I'm getting old
Before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doin' all I can
To be a better man

"Absence Of Fear" (Jewel)

Inside my skin there is this space
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart there's an empty room
It's waiting for lightning
It's waiting for you
And I am wanting
And I am needing you here
Inside the absence of fear
Muscle and sinew
Velvet and stone
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans
My bones call to you
In their separate skin
I make myself translucent
To let you in, for
I am wanting
And I am needing of you here
Inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger
This restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you're no stranger
you're my gravity
My hands will adore you through all darkness aim
They will lay you out in moonlight
And reinvent your name
For I am wanting you
And I am needing you here
I need you near
Inside the absence of fear
