Jewel - Plain Jane

[Jessica]

Jewel – Plain Jane Lyrics

You wear couture clothing like a hunter wears camouflage
Hiding insecurity hoping no one ever catches on
You like to read scientific magazines like Vanity Fair
There was a well written article about serotonin in there
You keep the same company you think Coco kept, too
You wear a bracelet on your wrist that says, “what would Elvis do?”
You make snide comments in private but in public, you’re fashionably green
You’re ironic, but not too proud to brag you know what it really means

Cynicism has begun to numb the pain
And fashion still works until
You realize you’re the same
Plain Jane

You have a rock-hard body but you only make love in the dark
Beneath painted lips, you’re afraid they see what’s really in your heart
You say cool thing like at least murder is interesting
‘Cause the worst crime a person can commit in life is to be boring

Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
And fashion still works until
You realize you’re the same
Plain Jane

Such a sweet face
Just embrace
The real you
You will see
It’s just lovely
And more than enough to be
Loved
Loved
Loved

Oh, cynicism has begun to numb the pain
And fashion still works until
You realize you’re the same
Plain ...

What's wrong with plain ol' Jane?
I like plain Jane
I like plain Jane

Where'd ya get the footage? Is there more?  ;D

[Administrator]

I got it from a fella on Twitter and, yes, there's more!  I'm going to put it together and upload it tonight.

Unfortunately, it looks like some songs were cut off, but there will still be plenty of good stuff. 

[Donna Sue]

Nice find Jess!

Trying to figure out this new board. Don't we need to sign in? 

[Administrator]

You can post as a guest or signed in.

I think you lose some functionality and you miss some boards if you're a guest.

I'm breaking 'er in now, so we're all learning.

Love how easy it is to post videos now, though!

[jewelwiki]

I hope he got Mercy and BNAB!

[Administrator]

I can confirm that Mercy is cut off and the snippet I posted in Ye Olde Board is all there really is.

BNAB is on there.  I skimmed it yesterday late night, but I think she tries to start it in 4/4 and then goes back to 3/4 because that's how the song goes - I don't care what some Nashville producer thinks.  > 

Gonna need to fix the smiley situation, too.

[Donna Sue]

It says I don't exist as a user...

[jewelwiki]

You'll have to re-register for this forum. Unfortunately, freeforums had their stuff on lockdown so we can't port you over.

[Randy]

I wonder if I should register here under my real name this time... :-\

There was a "Randy" registered at the old board (that sounds weird; it's not old but I guess we're movin' out) but he hasn't posted in some time.

I'll watch the video now!

[Jessica]

Why not register both?  8)

[Randy]

Interesting. That sort of behavior has been branded as a bannable offense on most boards I've seen, but then again, this ain't gonna be like most boards, is it? But if you're cool with mults and...wait a minute. How many do you have? Holy crap, are you everyone but me over at the old board? Are you ME?!!?

Am I me?

*head explodes*

[Randy]

...feel free to delete that nonsense, BTW. 

[Randy]

Seriously, though...this song has me thinking: Is Plain Jane one of Jewel's characters (such as Louisa), or is she taking a long hard look at herself here?

[Jess]

I think it's about Jewel looking at herself.  Something she says or does at the beginning of this video is a p big tip off I though.  Can't remember what it was, though....

You gotta do what you gotta do to keep traffic up.

You could have always registered alts at the old board.  Heck even at the old old board you could register alts.

You can't on most boards, though, you're right. 

The thing is, there's never a rule until you need one, you know what I mean? I don't think our little board will ever need such rules - this isn't Beyonce we're talking about here.

[Randy]

I'm not a guest anymore; I suppose I'll have to get up and get my own Cheetos now...

Oohh, this is cool
So is this: E=MC²

Take this away from me!

[Randy]

When I post something, the thread disappears and I have to open it again. Am I banned?

[Jessica]

No.

BUT

Posting doesn't seem to bring you back to the thread...I much prefer the redirect to the thread just posted in, so that's something else to look into.
