so, is that thumbs down because you don't like the streets? the song is clearly about dealing with being single again after a break-up.

"Fuck & Run" - the lovely Liz Phair


red, no offense, but I never found this to be an uplifting song about single life... in fact, I find it downright depressing.

Star Room Boys, "Cocaine Parties" is also a good'n.


"With your fiiiiiine young women,
And your wild cocaine parties till dawn,
With your faaar away eyes,
And cigarette ashes so long"

"Everybody Wants You" - Billy Squire

You see em comin at you every night
Strung on pretension they fall for you at first sight
You know their business--you think its a bore
They make you restless--its nothin you aint seen before
Get around town, spend your time on the run
You never let down...say you do it for fun
Never miss a play, though you make quite a few
You give it all away when everybody wants you

You crave attention--you can never say no
Throw your affections anyway the wind blows
You always make it--youre on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine
Puttin on the eyes til theres nobody else
You never realize what you do to yourself
The things that they see make the daily reviews
You never get free when everybody wants you

Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you

Nights of confusion and impossible dreams
Days at the mirror, patchin up around the seams
You got your glory--you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol
Say goodbye to conventional ways
You cant escape the hours--you lose track of the days
The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away...everybody wants you

Blackout Blues - Widespread Panic

Either about single life or being a train wreck drunk.

They tend to go hand in hand sometimes.

Actually I think the songs about the Single Life that I'm drawn to are not the ones celebrating it, but the ones that do NOT paint a pretty picture.
If you know that Webb Brothers song, you know what I mean.
