THAT YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND

>>67950801

Breakin' my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
A breakin' my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

Ready let's roll onto something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
'Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

Pace yourself for me
I said maybe, baby, please
But I just don't know now
When all I want to do is try

Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential, I've got potential

A rushing, rushing around

Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Depends what you want out of dragons.

Dragons that are also powerful magical beings and can shapeshift like in most RPG systems are pretty much non existent in western movies.

Smaug wasn't a dragon he was a wyrm.

>>67950152
I know this is /tv/, but I liked the portrayal of dragons within the novels. To be fair I was about 11 when I was reading them so my memories may be tinted by nostalgia/bad memory, but I remember liking the first and second books a lot, in no small part because of the treatment of dragons.

Smaug wasn't a wyrm he was a wyvern.
>>
>>67951956

Oh yeah.

Still not a proper dragon.
>>
>>67951956
wyrm is just a colloquialism for dragon.
IIRC Smaug was described as a Great Wyrm in the novel.
>>
>>67951956

He wasn't really. Wyverns are dumb and have poisonous tails. And don't breathe fire.
>>
>>67952002
A wyvern is a winged dragon with two legs, and generally a barbed tail, which smaug sort of has. Poisonous tails have nothing to do with it
>>
>>67952051
>In the fantasy genre, the wyvern is usually considered to have two legs, whereas the dragon may have either four or none. The wyvern is regarded, moreover, as the distant, lesser cousin to the dragon, similar to a dog being the distant cousin to the wolf. Wyverns tend to be smaller, weaker, not as intelligent, and ultimately inferior to the much more ferocious and powerful dragon. While a dragon almost always has the ability to breathe fire (though other types of breath such as lightning have been seen as well), a wyvern will usually be unable to breathe fire. Those that can breathe fire are sometimes termed "fire drakes" and are still considered a lesser form. A wyvern will typically be unable to speak, while a dragon often does have that ability.

Smaug this is not.

>European dragons exist in folklore and mythology among the overlapping cultures of Europe. They are commonly described as having hard or armoured hide, and are rarely described as flying, despite often being depicted with wings.

and that says dragons generally don't fly, just like how yours says wyverns "tend" to not breathe fire and other things such a smaug. He's neither a dragon nor a wyvern, but wyvern is the closest thing aesthetically
>>
How would the LOTR trilogy have gone if Smaug were still alive?

nah, you're just an edgy cunt. There is no way to know whether or not God(s) is/are real. But let me tell you. The more I learn about the world/universe, the more I start to see the order within the chaos. The way everything neatly (more or less) falls into the laws of physics. The more I learn, the more I'm ok with the thought of a higher power.

pic related is a nice succinct TL;DR of what I just said.
