The Aspie Song

[Origins]

While reading most topics in this forum, i found out that the most common thread is about an NT woman falling in love with an aspie man. The aspie one has a lot of shortcomings which makes the NT pour out one's heartache in this site. I thought about it often, until I recalled a song that clearly resonates with the aspie's feelings. What are your thoughts? Let me know.

By the way, sorry for the misleading thread title. I should have thought of a better one. I will revise it if I can.

I Was Only Joking
Lyrics:
Ever since I was a kid in school
I messed around with all the rules
Apologized, then realized
I'm not different after all

Me and the boys thought we had is sussed
Valentino's all of us
My dad said we looked ridiculous
But, boy, we broke some hearts

In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
Dumb, blank faces stared back at me
But nothing ever changed

Promises made in the heat of night
Creepin' home before it got too light
I wasted all that precious time
And blamed it on the wine

I was only joking, my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I?
I could never win

Never found a compromise
Collected lovers like butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize
Are slowly wearin' thin

Susie, baby, you were good to me
Giving love unselfishly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end

I was only joking, my dear
Looking for a way to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I?
I could never win

Now you ask me if I'm sincere
That's the question that I always fear
Verse seven is never clear
But I'll tell you what you want to hear

I try to give you all you want
But giving love is not my strongest point
If that's the case, it's pointless going on
I'd rather be alone

'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
Pouring my heart out in a song
Owning up for prosperity
For the whole damn world to see

Quietly now while I turn a page
Act one is over without costume change
The principal would like to leave the stage
The crowd don't understand
Songwriters: Gary Grainger / Rod Stewart

That song from "Rod the Mod" is one of my all-time favorites. I don't see it as an Aspie song, but it certainly resonated with me, especially when I was in my late teens-early twenties.

Great thread!

This song makes me think of ASD:

not sure about a 'aspie song' but here is something for aspie central.

These lyrics say it all. So very sad, and yet so very true.

And a rock feels no pain.
And an island never cries.

Sorry I meant this is a song on failed relationships with aspies. I shouldve chosen a better thread title.

To me that's academic. Most of my relationships with humans seem to either fail or just evaporate. Where solitude becomes our only friend.

When I was a teen, I made a photo album from baby pics of myself. Somehow even then I knew walking alone was my path. I put the lyrics to Here I Go Again by Whitesnake
under the various photos.
