Because I liked the song, because it took me a bit to come up with something else, and because "Pretender" wasn't one of the options. I try to stay with the word or the proffered options if I can.

Uncanny the way you read my mind...seriously, just yesterday I was wondering if I'll ever be able to use "Wicked Garden" by Stone Temple Pilots in this thread.

Very similar indeed, but there's an "l" in the song. No matter - actually, extra points for you; I don't think I could come up with song lyrics for "bind".

For me, that's the fun of these posts - stirring up those memories. Well, that and I like most of these songs so I listen to them again while double checking the lyrics.
I like the picture(s) the lyrics evoke for some songs I haven't listened to - like the ones you just posted.
The Look - Roxette
Swaying to the band, moving like a hammer, she's a miracle man. Loving is the ocean, Kissing is the wet sand, she's got the look.

Me too!
Incubus, whether you like the music or not (I love it), has some amazing lyrics - "Wish You Were Here" is no exception; the whole song is great. Since you haven't heard it, give a listen - and you don't even have to look at Brandon Boyd, the incredibly hot singer, who evokes all kinds of pictures for some of their songs.
Some pretty powerful lyrics in this one too...
from "Countdown to Extinction" by Megadeth
Endangered species, caged in fright Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight The stage is set, now pay the price An ego boost don't think twice Technology, the battle's unfair You pull the hammer without a care Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned ...
