| | Brick Lyrics Artist(Band):Ben Folds
I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping I am numb Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte They're not home to find us out And we drive Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly They call her name at 7:30 I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me, "son, it's time to tell the truth" She broke down, and I broke down Cause I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For the moment we're alone Yeah she's alone I'm alone Now I know it She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly If you find some error in Brick Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Abortion is a sad thing -- but a necessary thing. I knew a woman who was staunchly pro-life, and religious, but when she became pregnant unintentionally, she changed her tune. I know women who have had abortions and feel no remorse about it at all, either. They are not monsters, so don't go there: it's not like it's easy for anyone. But they recognised the reality of it and made the choice that was best for them. And I know women who have had abortions and feel terribly guilty about it, but would do the same thing again, given the decision to make over. I know a man whose teenage girlfriend, twenty years ago, gave their child up for adoption. He says now that she should have had an abortion because she suffered for years (and maybe still does) for having given up the child. Who is beautiful, and loved, and all that -- but her birth mother was terribly terribly damaged by the whole process. It's not easy for anyone, is what I mean, and any choice a woman makes in the circumstance is probably not an easy one. That's why it has to be her choice: she's the one who has to live with it. I had a baby last year, and I meant to, and pregnancy s u c k e d -- no one should be forced to go through that if she doesn't want to. It is far more than "inconvenient". Compassion, people, compassion. Wow... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/09 This song moves me every time. It captures everything I couldn't express or explain, and also gives some perspective on a mans point of view...especially the emphasis on time would tell she would not be fine--so TRUE. You won't be fine..initially, you will become ok.. same thing | Reviewer: terrible person | 9/21/09 this same thing happened to me and my hs sweetheart. we were discussing getting an abortion and he really didnt want to get it. i told him that it was my decision and this was the only way out... i ended up having a miscarriage, but the hole can never be filled.. and a patch will simply fall off. im the brick and we both drowned... i dont think God will ever give me a child again. Crazy | Reviewer: Chris630 | 6/19/09 It's funny to see someone make a statement like this: "hmm, i find it interesting how the catholic church condemned a girl who, at 9 years of age, got pregnant of being raped. now pregnant with twins, she would most likely die if she gave birth. the rapist was forgiven, and she and her mother excommunicated when she had an abortion to save her life." And then end their post with this: " "pro-life" is anti-choice, and anti-woman. " So you list 1 example of stupidity and then bag out an entire philosophy based on that one point? As if all pro-life people agree with that. I don't think that you're stupid enough to actually believe that's true, but you are, apparently, not smart enough to mount a cohesive argument on the subject. Which makes sense because you only see one side of an issue, which makes things much harder to judge. Ugh I just wanted to see the lyrics to a good song and I get this crap! I see the arguments for both sides, but the only arguments for abortion that really hold water so to speak, for me, are ones of necessity, which are an EXTREMELY small percentage of abortions. Where human life begins is hard to figure out sometimes, but how can someone nitpick when, if you're wrong, you're killing millions of babies, that otherwise would be real living people right this very second, in the name of convenience. just in general | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/20/09 hmm, i find it interesting how the catholic church condemned a girl who, at 9 years of age, got pregnant of being raped. now pregnant with twins, she would most likely die if she gave birth. the rapist was forgiven, and she and her mother excommunicated when she had an abortion to save her life. "pro-life" is anti-choice, and anti-woman. --- :-? --- | Reviewer: bluebookguitar | 3/5/09 honestly, i didn't know that this is a song about abortion. someone from my past just introduced this song to me when we were still a happy couple and from that moment, i instantly fell in love with it. and i am so amazed how the writer of this song was able to put into words and melody a sad feeling or traumatic experience he once felt... uuuuuuuuuuugh | Reviewer: youllneverknow,willyou? | 2/23/09 You people call yourselfs prolife. What about the teens who have to go through all this? Do you even know how common a young mother's death in a miscarrige is? It's not fair to even think about forcing anyone to withstand a whole pregnancy. I mean, I can see maybe wanting to if the woman is a WOMAN and didn't use protection. That's...like....birth manslaughter. But there's such a thing as going too far. mmm | Reviewer: mary | 1/24/09 The song is sad because it talks about the interruption of someones life, a decision that won't ever be repair... i'm pro-life and i believe everyone has the right to live, to feel, to laugh, even to cry and learn from life experiences, everyone has the right to love and to be love... because of the grace and love of God we have life and liberty... le'ts don't use our liberty to terminate life A sincere song | Reviewer: Jersey Girl | 11/20/08 Look, I understand exactly what Ben Folds was going for here. Am I pro choice? Of course I'm not! But give him a break. He wasn't writing the song to encourage people to do it. He didn't want to start a big political debate. He was "young and didn't know any better" his words exactly. The point of this song is that it sucked to go through. It was the worst time in his whole life. A majority of the best songs ever written are so good because they were an emotional event for the writer! Do you think he wanted his girlfriend to get an abortion? Of course not! 33 years later | Reviewer: Blondie | 11/17/08 I have always loved this song, and was pretty sure I knew what it was about, but am just now looking it up. I totally understand that it will never get better because 33 years later I still cry about it and can't believe what I did. I have a 24 year old daughter, but feel like I cheated her out of a sibling. I've never told her about it, or anyone else. I was only 15 years old and in no way ready to raise a child. The pain never ends.
