Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white. In between the moon and you angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right. I walk in the air between the rain and myself and back again where. I don't know. Rita says she's dyin, to the door I here her cryin, I don't know.

Round here, ya always stand up straight. Round here, something radiates. Rita came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand, said she'd like to meet a boy that looks like Elvis. She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in the circus. She parks her car outside my house, takes her clothes off, says she's close to understanding Jesus. And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood. She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous. Round here were carving out our names. Round here, we all look the same. Round here we talk just like lions, but we sacrifice lion rounds. Round here, shes slipping through my hands.

Round here, she could have been running like the wind. Out of the lights. Lalalalalalala. Out of the lightning.

She said it's only in my head. She says, I know it's only in my head. Take the girl in the car in the parking lot says man you should try to take a shot. Cant you see my world is crumbling. She looks up at the building says shes thinkin of jumping. She says she's tired of life, she must be tired of something round here. She's always on my mind. Round here, I get lost sometimes. Round here we get the sense of better things and nobody makes us wait. Round here we stay up, very very very very late. I can't see nothin, nothing, round here. Catch me if I'm fallin, catch me if I"m fallin, catch me cause I'm fallin down on you. I said I'm under the gun, round here. Ah man I said I'm under the gun, around here. I can't see nothin, nothin, round here.


Alright this thread has a point. Complain about where you live.

It's full of Americans taking photos of cats and roadsigns :(

(The English Lake District)

Has scallies.

No Yank tourists though, they tend to go go staight through to the Lake District and Scotlans probably. (to take pictures of cat?)

It's full of pompous and wealthy investors and hedge fund babies. I wonder where that is? I bet you all know.

When it's not 70 degrees it's either 100 or 30. We get rain and snow only 7 days of the year and there's a shit load of people moving in.

Seattle?

You live in Manchester or Liverpool?

Yeah, there's always fat american tourists taking photos of cats and signposts. It's a wierd phenomena.

See- this is from an Americans holiday website. It's a signpost near my street. Why?????

That's the tech babies.

But no this is Manhattan New York.

Bump.

I live in paradise. Lakeshore property. Nice boat. Great fishing lake, all seasons. Wildlife galore. No close neighbors. Privacy!

OK, I thought of two things. Taxes are way too high. And I live too far away from my place of employment (but that's my fault, not my residense's or my employer's fault). Gas over $2 a gallon!

Where is this? Lake Tahoe?

in atlanta we have freakishly large bugs, and gang problems

You have no idea how much I hate Counting Crows and that song specificly.

hmmm, I love counting crows...

Where I live? It's nutty. Last week we had a blizzard and it was -10(Celcius) and today it was almost +30 (celcius) Too much Urban sprawl for a city with under 1 million people. It grows like a ring, while the center is dying, suburbs just grow on the outskirts and eat up farmland.

It was an amazing day today though :)

Because we have no idea whatsoever what that sign is telling us. Should we not tip the lake? Are there instances where we do tip the lake? What is a standard tip for a lake? 10%? 10% of what?

we get fat slobs from the valley clogging our roads and taking up our beaches. FAT. SLOBS.

BUMP, THE GIRL ON THE ASS.

Lets see...its been over 100 for the past week or so now, its only getting hotter, the city has been completely paved over, and (like Ifracombe) the center has died long ago. Everyone drives a massive SUV, which they use to navigate our rough terrain of parking lots and constantly repaved highways. Plus, most of the population is dying.
Phoenix, AZ

Where is this?

Where is this? Small text at the end of post, I didn't want to give it away, since others were having fun guessing.

Arizona?

Thats where I live. I hate snowbirds - old people that come here for the winter. They cannot drive at all. I got stuck behind one going 20 on a 50 road. :x

I hate summers here when it gets all humid and stuffy.

BUMP

'Round here, the only Counting Crows song the radio seems to have heard of is Big Yellow Taxi.
Words cannot express how much I hate Rachel Carson and that song. I almost enjoy 'round here and Mr. James, but hearing BYT at least twice a day, every day, has made me change the radio every single time I hear that voice.

As for the non-musical part of my location, I'm looking forward to leaving it and never looking back in about two weeks.

I don't like their cover of Yellow Taxi very well.

By the way it's "Mr. Jones".

BUMP!

sydney, well weve got the best views ive ever seen, nice weather, pretty good coffee and beaches, lots of beaches

just felt like being conceited

on the down side we do have the worlst public transport in the developed world

I used to have a vacation condo in Sydney. But the REIT fund manager I knew had a feeling their real estate market was screwed so I sold it.

*BUMPS it again, with a little more force.*

Minnesota. Nice place to live. bit nippy though. Lotsa mosquitos and everybody makes fun of "the accent" I don't have an accent!!

I got nothing to complain about. San Francisco is brilliant, and there are few places I would trade it for.
