Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water

List of Similes by 6 Patience

Good job in sourcing so many similes. However, try to remember at least one or two of them and use it in your daily conversations and even in your writing. As I did mention in class, simile has the effect of triggering your imagination to better effect than adjectives.

...and everytime I hear the song She Bangs, I can't help but be reminded of William Hung :)

Talk to me
Tell me your name
You blow me off like it's all the same
You lit a fuse and now I'm ticking away
Like a bomb
Yeah, Baby

Talk to me
Tell me your sign
You're switching sides like a Gemini
You're playing games and now you're hittin' my heart
Like a drum
Yeah, Baby

And she bangs, she bangs
Oh baby
When she moves, she moves
I go crazy
'Cause she looks like a flower
but she stings like a bee
Like every girl in history
She bangs, she bangs
