"Under my thumb"

Post by Annapurna »

A question for the music fans in this forum!

I'm sure you know the song by the Stones: Under my thumb.

I'm looking for other cool songs that deal with power in a relationship...can you think of any?

Ty!

The things I'm asking, huh? :D

Whipping Post - Allman Brothers
I've been run down
I've been lied to
I don't know why,
I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money
Wrecks my new car
Now she's with one of my good time buddies
They're drinkin' in some cross town bar

My friends tell me
That I've been such a fool
And I have to stand down and take it babe,
All for lovin' you
I drown myself in sorrow
As I look at what you've done
Nothin' seems to change
Bad times stay the same
And I can't run

Sometimes I feel
Sometimes I feel
Like I've been tied
To the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Tied to the whipping post
Good lord I feel like I'm dyin'

On Reflection - Gentle Giant
In my way did I use you, do you think I really abused you
On reflection now it doesn't matter:
How can you say I made you need me more than anyone else
Who can say it right now it's finished over:
It's my act, it's my calling, I explained exactly the falling
Different ways of life can never even:
Be the same when you saw me, could you always take me the
same way As I came and went I tried to remember you:
Still you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs

How:
Could you see in me what you thought about all you want me to be
Now:
On reflection why should have I changed my ways for you
All around all around

Cry my sympathy's with you but I never lied to you all in all
it seems it's just an experience:
Placed my cards on the table told of everything I was able,

Understanding still not anything different:
Find another to lean on, start again for I should have long
gone, on reflection now it's just an experience.
Soon the pain will have ended, together never intended, as I
come and go I'll try to remember you.
Still you stay
Tied in your way
Changing times
Watching the signs
How:
All around all around...

I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
that we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
our time drifting away:

Look back it's not your game, together just in name.

I'll remember the good things how can you forget all the years
that we shared in our way:
Things were changing my life, taking your place in my life and
our time drifting away:

All around all around...

From Annie Get Your Gun - "I can do anything better than you can, I can do anything better than you" "No you can't" "Yes I can" "No you can't" "Yes I can" "No you can't, no you can't no you CAAAAAAAN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Norwegian Wood - Beatles - The gurl got the skinny on the boy in that one

Another Beatle song - and it's old - and I cannot remember the name - but the refrain is "Catcha with another man, that's the end ... little girl"

"She said" also by the Beatles "She said, I know what's it's like to be dead .." "And she's making me feel like I've never been born" (oo that's a good Buddhist one!)

"I put A Spell On You" Creedance Clearwater Revival - and a shakin' blues song it is

The Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer - a funny parody scream of a song

"Set me Free Why Don't You Babe" Sung by The Supremes

"I'm Gonna Keep On Loving You" - I think it's Kansas but don't quote me (guy stays with gal even tho she screws around on him)

"Gett Off" Prince - the one and only purple baddass shaft from outer space
I'm your friendly, neighbourhood Asura
