Music is amazing

We're all standing with our backs against the wall
Sooner or later
Waiting on a phone that never calls, at all
Heartbreak comes, rollin' in like a storm
Sooner or later
Trying to swim but you're sinking like a stone, alone

And I can feel fire in the night waiting here
Baby it's like we're walking on a wire through the fear
Take my hand, we'll get there

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this momAnd I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

You made the mistake
Of letting me and my mates
In your house
You don't know us at all
And I can't be held responsible
For getting naked in your swimming pool

What a night you're alright
And you're quite a sight for my sore eyes
Things is you don't even realise
Your house is a joke
I'm that kind of bloke
A pipe And some slippers fit nicely

You are one of God's mistakes
You crying, tragic waste of skin
I'm well aware of how it aches
And you still won't let me in

Now I'm breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I don't like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space

I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Keep track of visions in my eyes

While she's deceiving me, she cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

*Chorus*:
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades; oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades; oh no
You got it made with the guy in shades; oh no

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, So I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

While she's deceiving me, she cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say

*Chorus*:
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades; oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades; oh no
You got it made with the guy in shades; oh no

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

I got two strong arms
blessings of babylon
with time to carry on
and try
for sins and false alarms
so to america the brave
wise men save

[chorus]
near a tree by a river
there's a hole in the ground
where an old man of aran
goes around and around
and his mind is a beacon
in the veil of the night
for a strange kind of fashion
there's a wrong and a right
but he'll never, never fight over you

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be as in love with you as I am
They would be as in love with you as I am
They would be as in love with you as I am
They would be in love, love, love...

Awake your heart
You fear it but we’ll make a start
Seems like the wind just blows your way
With clouds full of rain

And you hide because the world ain’t right
Know that your cold and hurtin’ soul
Is never alone

Don’t waste your time
Just lift your mind
Imagination comes alive
Now you know that I’ll be by your side

Honestly, what would become of me?
Don't like reality, it's way too clear for me
But really, life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust, lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to en end
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an end
Why do all good things come to an end?

I am so ashamed
I am so ashamed of all the trouble I have caused
and I am so ashamed of all these unopened doors
I am so ashamed of what I have become

That oh, my heart is bursting again
Don't leave this mark
Your eyes are turning away

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge, but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know, we're not the same (no)
We're not the same (oh)

Let it never be said
That romance is dead
Cause there's so little else
Occupying my head
There is nothing I need
Except the function to breathe
But I'm not really fussed
Doesn't matter to me

Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Do you, do you, do you, do you?
Know what you're doing (doing) to me?
Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

She's had to peel me
off the pavement
trying to insinuate sometimes
i'm in danger of going too far
said would i like to go
for tea and toast?
get your hand off my thigh
in the car
she turned to me and said

you're not nineteen forever,
pull yourselves together
i know it seems strange
but things they change
older woman
and a younger man
both of them
doing all they can

I saw you
Again, I knew just where you'd be
I'll stop this
Real soon when you're back safe with me

When you come home, I'll stop this
When you come home, I'll hide it good
I'll never cry again, when you come home, to me
Rx3

Here we go again, I kinda want to be more than friends
So take it easy on me, I'm afraid you're never satisfied
Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend
You're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive
No, I won't sleep tonight

Oh, oh, I want some more
Oh, oh, what are you waiting for?
Take a bite of my heart tonight

Hung around here long enough
Seen the smooth, but only caught the rough
I've got no reason
Oh no, i got no reason.
Disco on the radio
I ain't got no place to go
I got no reason
Oh no I got no reason

But wait
See the new girl in town
Maybe I can show you round
Baby let's generate some heat

I gotta reason
Oh now I've gotta reason

There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing but I can try for your heart
Our dreams and they are made out of real things
Like a shoebox of photographs with sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart
Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Hum it's always better when we're together
Yeah we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone when the morning light sings
Or brings new things for tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too, too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression I was somewhere in between
With only two, just me and you, not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be we'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah it's always better when we're together
Hum we're somewhere in between together
Well it's always better when we're together
Yeah it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories they look so, so pretty when I sleep
And now when, when I wake up you look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time
And there is no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together

Businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would
And I guess I'll just begin again
You say can we still be friends

If I was scared, I would
And if I was bored, you know I would
And if I was yours, but I'm not

All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But to bow to down to them anyway
Is better than to be alone

What is this I'm feeling?
If you'd only leave a minute
We've come too far to give up who we are
Then raise the bar and our cups to the stars

She's up all night 'til the sun
I'm up all night to get some
She's up all night for good fun
I'm up all night to get lucky

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love
Feel the home that I live in
'Cause I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?

We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through.

Things get damaged,
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give...

You ready? Lets go!
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all c'mon

It's just ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

Ohh!
Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister
And your mama too
We're about to go down
And you know just what to do

Wave your hands in the air
Like you don't care
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance
Do your dance
Do your dance quick mama, come on baby tell me what's the word
Word up (up,up)
Everybody say when you hear the call
You've got to get it under way
Word up (up,up)
it's the code word
No matter where you say it
You know that you'll be heard

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before

Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

"Hahahahahahahaha"

Feel good

Shake it, shake it. Shop with it
Feel good
(x8)

City's breaking down on a camel's back
They just have to go 'cos they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You won't get out the county, 'cos you're bad and free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style
A melancholy town where we never smile
And all I wanna hear is the message beep
My dreams, they've got to kiss, because I don't get sleep, no

This ain't nothing but a summer jam
Bronze skin and cinnamon tans whoa!
This ain't nothing but a summer jam
We're gonna party as much as we can
He-ey, ooh, he-ey
Summer jam all right
He-ey, ooh, he-ey

Tonight hotties wearing "Prada"-skirts
Real tight temperature is rising
Feelin' real hot in the heat of the night
Midnight the party won't stop
until the moon light
I'm skopin' out the hotties with the light eyes
Be with me tonight

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
My heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

Oh well I don't know much, I don't know how...

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside

Coming at ya like Cleopatra!

This is the place, stand up
Right now!
Check it!
We`re coming at ya
Like Cleopatra
We`re coming through
Do what `cha do
Bow shalak
Where is da punani
Under my skin
Can`t you see I`m horny
Bow shalak
I`m the rhyme driller
If you don`t believe
Here`s another floor filler

A light on a platform
Perfume of a secret
The sound of scissors
And a girl with a faint smile

Moaning like a brick wall
As she merges on the highway
Could she be a doctor
Or a light on a platform

Ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh
Ooohh oh ooooh, oh oh oh ohhh

It's a cruel cruel world to face on your own
A heavy cross to carry alone
The lights are on, but everyone's gone
And it's cruel

It's a funny way to make ends meet
When the lights are out on every street
It feels alright, but never complete
Without you

If you had this time again
Would you do it all the same?
I wonder, would I?

Of the promises we made
Is there anything you'd change?
In the re-runs of our lives

If I could call you for a day just to hear the words you'd say
I would…

Well he was in Thailand based.
She was an airforce wife.
He used to fly weekends, it was the easy life.
But then it turned around, and he began to change.
She didn't wonder then, she didn't think it strange.
But then he got a call, he had to leave that night.
He couln't say too much, but it would be alright.
He didn't need to pack, they'd meet the next night.
He had a job to do, flying to Cambodia.

Rise above, gonna start the war
Whatcha want, whatcha need, whatcha come here for?
Well, an eye for an eye, and an 'F' for fight
They're takin' me down as the prisoners riot
Eh, yeah

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've got shackles on, my words are tied
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Fear can make you compromise
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
With the lights turned up, it's hard to hide
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Sometimes I want to disappear

I, I'm a one way motorway
I'm a road that drives away
Then follows you back home
I, I'm a street light shining
I'm a white light blinding bright
Burning off and on

It's times like these
You learn to live again
It's times like these
You give and give again
It's times like these
You learn to love again
It's times like these
Time and time again

Ah!
Alagamunlan
wae wakun heya hanun gon
Alagamunlan
wae makun heya hanun gon
Alagamunlan
ari gari hanon kari he
Alagamunlan
We Like We We We Like Party, hey!

Ichiba varriya is hara moru mashi sondori yama varriya
Yougun pegi tur equa machen varriya
Noga onku pega haga kunge nande varriya
Damn! Girl! You so freakin sexy!

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh, no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

You, you got me
Thinking it'll be alright.
You, you told me,
"Come and take a look inside."
You believed me,
In every single lie.
But I, I failed you this time.

And it feels like tonight.
I can't believe I'm broken inside.
Can't you see that there's nothing that I wanna do,
But try to make it up to you?
And it feels like tonight,
Tonight.

He's got a rolling stones tee
But he only knows one song
They think they're from the sixty's
But they were born in 1991

There's a man standing in the corner
No-one knows quite where he's from
There's a fight between jill and luann
There's a dad to have a b-side on her thumb
And the nights only just begun

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind, that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought

If my life is for rent
And I don't, learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get,
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like a lunar landing
Make me want to run till I find you
Shut the world away from here, drift to you, you're all I hear
Everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending, truth is I am done pretending

I never thought that I had any more to give
Pushing me so far, here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
Everything will change, but love remains the same

I give in to the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)
That no one's gonna turn me 'round
Just one more step, I could let go
Oh and in the middle
I hear the voices and they're calling for me now (I know)
And nothing's gonna wake me now
'Cause I'm a slave to the sound

And they're calling
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
They keep saying
Don't stop, no one's ever enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling, oh

She don't know who she is,
Oh,I can take her anywhere,
Do whatever comes naturally to you,
You know she just don't care,
You know she just don't care,

'Cause I'm always where,
I need to be,
And I always thought,
I would end up with you eventually,

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

These ideas are, nightmares to white parents
Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings
Like whatever they say has no bearing
It's so scary in a house that allows, no swearing
To see him walkin around with his headphones blaring
Alone in his own zone, cold and he don't care
He's a problem child, and what bothers him all comes out
When he talks about, his fuckin dad walkin out
Cause he just hates him so bad that he, blocks him out
If he ever saw him again he'd probably knock him out
His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin back
Talkin black, brainwashed from rock and rap
He sags his pants; doo rags and a stockin cap
His step-father hit him so he, socked him back
And broke his nose, his house is a broken home
There's no control, he just let's his emotions go

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Contrary to popular belief, know what yo
This is not a lovesong
It's a sonnett
Damn if feels good to have people up on it but
I'm just a fool playing with the masters tools
Learning how to break the rules of this record company coup
Hallucination - I see with my eyes
But my heart's telling me lies
Why do I fantisize?
Why am I telling lies to the people from the stage

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love, I did, I did
And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot, I did

And now, when all is done, there is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won, you can go ahead, tell them

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far

Hear them saying that a lot is a lot
You think it's all that matters
You've done your math well
You checked the figures
You've done your math tell
Who is the bigger
Man can't explain it but you got a hunch
Well, that's always something
Climb up the ladder
Step up a notch

Nobody here knocking at my door
The sound of silence I can’t take anymore
Nobody ringing my telephone now
Oh how I miss such a beautiful sound

Chorus:
And I don’t even know how I survive
I won’t make it to the shore without your light
No I don’t even know if I’m alive
Oh, oh, oh without you now
This is what it feels like

I waited by your bedside,
And didn't close my eyes all night.
I named you like a prayer.

It's anybody's guess how,
The angel of doubt came down,
And crept into your bed.

But after we danced to the shipping forecast,
The words escaped your mouth:
"i know it's gotta stop love, but i don't know how."

I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am i gonna be an optimist about this?
How am i gonna be an optimist about this?

We all have a weakness
Some of ours are easy to identify
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness

We'll make a pact
To never speak that word again
Yes, you are my friend

I've been down so low people look at me and they know,
they can tell something is wrong
like I don't belong,
well, staring through a window standing outside there just to happy to care
tonight I wanna be like them but I'll mess it up again,
I tripped on my way in, got kicked outside, everybody saw.

Chorus:
And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now,
Well I thought that I was doing well but I just wanna cry now,
Well I know that it's a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea,
but I can only see it when you're here, here with me.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand; I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep; it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Somedays I can't even, trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary this, ship will carry our, bodies safe to shore

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Just have a little, patience

I'm still hurting from a love i lost,
I'm feeling your frustration,
Then maybe all the pain will stop,
Just hold me close inside your arms tonight,
dont be too hard on my emotions

She never took the train alone she hated being on her own
She always took me by the hands and say she needs me
She never wanted love to fail she always hoped that it was real
She'd look me in the eyes and say believe me
And then the night becomes the day and there's nothing left to say
If there's nothing left to say then something's wrong

I wanna be the one you call, every day and night
Are you gonna be the one who's always gonna treat me right
And when we get together turning down the lights
Need you 100, need you 100 percent and

I wanna be the one you tell all your friends about
Baby I'll be the one you just can't do without
You gotta give me everything, baby ain't no doubt
Give me 100, need you 100 percent

Black rose and radio fire

I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but i was kind
And sometimes i get nervous
When i see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart

Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop

Look back in silence
The cradle of your whole life
There in the distance
Losing its greatest pride
Nothing is easy, nothing is sacred, why?
Where did the bow break?
It happened before your time

And there were people there
Lovely as you'd ever care
Tonight, baby, you can start again
Laughing in the open air
Have yourself another dream
Tonight, baby, we can start again

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do
Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath

You need somebody who likes himself
Who lives for life and never calls for help
You need somebody to walk you back
Someone who loves you too before you ask

You're worth more, you're worth more than this
You can take a leap without the risk
There's no time, there's no time for this
Take your love and start again

Start wearing purple wearing purple
Start wearing purple, for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish
I promise, it's just a matter of time...

I know you since you were a twenty and i was twenty,
But thought that some years from now
A purple little little lady will be perfect
For dirty old and useless clown...

There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born

Up on the hill across the blue lake
That's where I had my first heartbreak
I still remember how it all changed
My father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!

I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure.
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go to the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good?!

Do you think about me when you’re all alone?
The things we used to do we used to be
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

Do you think about me when the crowd is gone?
It used to be so easy, you and me
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

It's funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I'd pay to lose
One half won't do

I've asked myself how much do you
Commit yourself

I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you

With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
Hypnotize me through

Won't you come here?
You know the way, it's the one you made.
Built it in the sky, all that's in your eye now not the same.
Watch it tumble down, falling all around.
Can you stand watching it undo all that's made of you?

Here I go out to see again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eyes
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere

Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

Look at me
It really was not easy
But I can breathe
And I'm so grateful 'cause I can see
I am free to do exactly what I please
So come with me to a place where we can be

Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna hold you
I wanna love you tonight
Ooh I wanna touch the sky
I wanna fly so high
Ooh I wanna satisfy
I wanna make you cry

It's bugging me
Grating me
And twisting me around

Yeah I'm endlessly
Caving in
And turning inside out

I've been trying to do it right
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleeping here instead
I've been sleeping in my bed
I've been sleeping in my bed
