meatloaf......

....I want you
I need you
But -- there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

.....or is it ??

is it enough for you?? or are you holding out for the brass ring..

Brass ring devices were developed during the heyday of the carousel in the U.S.--about 1880 to 1920. At one time, the riders on the outside row of horses were often given a little challenge, perhaps as a way to draw interest, or build excitement. Some rings were steel, and a few were brass; if you grabbed a brass ring, you got a free ride. ....
Once the ride started moving, a metal arm was swung out for riders to try to grasp the ring from. As the wooden horses or other creatures circled around the center where the machinery and organ were housed, rings were fed to one end of a wooden arm that was suspended above the riders, who hoped that the timing of their horse's rise would coincide with their approach to the ring, which they would try to grab.

On some rides this held a single brass ring, which was difficult to grab, and riders could try to grab it as they passed. Whoever managed to retrieve it, if anyone, could redeem it for a free ride. Another system had a dispenser of rings, most of which were steel and had no value, but one per ride was the brass one that won the prize.

The brass ring as a term also means striving for the highest prize, or living life to the fullest.

three out of three is the prize I want... how about you?

but..is it living life to the fullest looking for all three? .. or is it better settling for less..??

( remember it can be any two of the three.. just not all three if you settle...)

or ...

are you thinking it is time to get off the carousel and just quit riding for awhile?

Posts: 4,919 Why would anybody settle for two out of three? I don't believe anybody should settle. I know I never could!
I always took that song to mean that he only wanted her in a sexual way. Then he goes on to say "now don't be sad" oink oink!

I tried it once and it just made me miserable. Never again.

I'm not too bothered about the gold ring but I'm definitely going for the brass one!!

Posts: 124 in defense of meatloaf.. his "true love??" did and said this to him long ago..( in the song..) and as he still loves her.. he says he cannot ever love another again - even though she walked away.. saying "two out of three aint all bad.. "

.. I take this to mean that they had a big disagreement, prior to her walking out, where he was saying that he wanted all three.. and as she could never love him.. she decided it was time to leave...

in the now.. he is asking himself if he missed out on living life to the fullest by not settling........ all the while asking others to settle for what he has to offer them..2 out of three... ( thinking he should just let go of the past.. and live life to the fullest but that would require a change in his perception of his "true love" for the woman of yesterday.. vs the woman that he "??loves??" today..

( I still want all three...)

Baby we can talk all night
But that aint getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
Theres nothing left inside of here
And maybe you can cry all night
But thatll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldnt make me leave here

I cant lie
I cant tell you that Im something Im not
No matter how I try
Ill never be able
To give you something
Something that I just havent got

....Theres only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know Ill never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back
Ooh I know
I remember how she left me on a stormy night
She kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away

And she kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
She kept on telling me
I want you
I need you
But there aint no way Im ever gonna love you
Now dont be sad
cause two out of three aint bad

Posts: 8,407 Has anyone seen the new cell phone commercial that uses Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" song?

In the commercial, its a father and son singing it together, and it ends with the son singing ".....I will love you till the end of time..."

I wonder if the people selling those phones realize that many of us know that entire song, and, were it to continue, the next line would say...."so now Im praying for the end of time!!!"

Posts: 124 Lj.....and that has what to do with this thread..??

....maybe....

.. try waiting until page 6 before taking it on your tangents?? ( or start your own thread on...Being careful what you ask for..cause you just might get it... )

I. Paradise

Boy:
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night

Boy:
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!

So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time, so I can end my time with you!!!

Boy:
It was long ago and it was far away
and it was so much better than it is today

Girl:
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife

Kinda sounds like my ex.

Settling has got me nothing but heartache so far.

I'm not settling anymore.

I want it all, cause I give it all.
