(1) Most of the movie SPEED (sandra bullock and keanu reeves) takes place on a bus. Might be interesting to re-watch and think about what kind of (created) bus community the movie explores.


(2) I like this song by the band Canoe Club. The lyrics are from tropicalstormhawaii.com


Along For The Ride W Corrected Lyrics Chords.txt

Composed By: ?
Performed By: hawaiian canoe club
Submitted By: tehani


D E A
My poppa said fill my pockets with riches
D E A
Buy a big house in Bell Air
D E A
Tie the knot with a supreme court justice
D E A
Raise 2.5 millionaires
D E A
But daddy dear, oh my wallet's half empty
D E A
I rent a shack on the shore
D E A
I know you want just the best for me
D E
But I'm fine, just biding my time

(chorus)
D
I'm just along for the ride
E A A7
and there's no need for me to drive
D A
I'm just along for the ride
D A A7
I'm happy taking in all the sights
D
Oh I'm, just along for the,
E A
I'm just along for the ride
D E A
Doo doo doo doooo


You insist I should have some direction
Take a stand take control
Here's my two cents, Mr. Bus Man drive me away
anywhere please

I'm on the bus going no where fast
I missed my stop but it's OK
My prized possession is my Mickey Mouse watch,
Oh, I like it this way

I tell ya,
(chorus)
('ukulele solo)

You might not approve of this road i'm traveling
My life is like a sunday drive
But thanks for asking about me anyway
I'll be alright
I like it this way

I'm just along for the ride,
And there's no neee-ed for me to drive
I'm just along for the riii-ide
I'm happy taking in all the sights, whoah I'm,
Just along for the.. (5x)
Just along for the ride

Doo doo doo doo
(I'm on the bus going nowhere)
doo doo doo doo
(along for the ride)
Along for the ride
(I'm like the road that I'm travelling,)
doo doo doo doo
(but I'll be all right)
No need to drive
Doo doo doo doo
(I'm on the bus going nowhere,)
doo doo doo doo
(along for the ride)
I'm along for the ride
(I'm like the road that I'm travelling,)
doo do doo doo
(but I'll be all right)
Just taking it all in strides, doo doo doo doo
I'm along for the ride
(I'm on the bus going nowhere,)
doo doo doo doo
(along for the ride)
Mmmm no need to drive
Doo doo doo doo

I love this song. I used it in my high school graduation video. It's funny how the lyrics are antithetical to the idea of SPEED. We should have an all day movie marathon and watch SPEED and HAWAII.
