“Ashes To Ashes”

By David Bowie

Do you remember a guy that's been

In such an early song

I've heard a rumour from Ground Control

Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too

I've loved all I've needed to love

Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing

Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I

Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair

But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

CHORUS

  Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

  We know Major Tom's a junkie

  Strung out in heaven's high

  Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself

I'll stay clean tonight

But the little green wheels are following me

Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend

"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"

One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things

I never done bad things

I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh

Want an axe to break the ice

Wanna come down right now

CHORUS

REPEAT

  My mother said to get things done

  You'd better not mess with Major Tom

“Always Crashing In The Same Car”

By David Bowie

Every chance, every chance that I take

I take it on the road

Those kilometers and the red lights

I was always looking left and right

Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car

Jasmine, I saw you peeping

As I pushed my foot down to the floor

I was going round and round the hotel garage

Must have been touching close to 94

Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car

“Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?”

by U2

You're dangerous 'cause you're honest

You're dangerous, you don't know what you want

Well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot

For any spirit to haunt

Hey hey, sha la la

Hey hey

You're an accident waiting to happen

You're a piece of glass left there on the beach

Well you tell me things I know you're not supposed to

Then you leave me just out of reach

Hey hey, sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Well, you stole it 'cause I needed the cash

And you killed it 'cause I wanted revenge

Well, you lied to me 'cause I asked you to

Baby, can we still be friends?

Hey hey, sha la la

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?

Oh, the deeper I spin

Oh, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin

Took a drive in the dirty rain

To a place where the wind calls your name

Under the trees the river laughing at you and me

Hallelujah, heaven's white rose

The doors you open, I just can't close

Don't turn around, don't turn around again

Don't turn around, your gypsy heart

Don't turn around, don't turn around again

Don't turn around, and don't look back

Come on now love, don't you look back

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?

Who's gonna taste your salt water kisses?

Who's gonna take the place of me?

Who's gonna ride your wild horses?

Who's gonna tame the heart of thee?

“Unravel”

by Bjork

While you are away

My heart comes undone

Slowly unravels

In a ball of yarn

The devil collects it

With a grin

Our love

In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it

So when you come back

We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it

When you come back

We'll have to make new love

While you are away

My heart comes undone

Slowly unravels

In a ball of yarn

The devil collects it

With a grin

Our love, our love,

In a ball of yarn

He'll never return it

When you come back

We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it

When you come back

We'll have to make new love

He'll never return it

When you come back

We'll have to make new love

“5 Years”

by Bjork

You think you're denying me of something

Well I've got plenty

You're the one who's missing out

But you won't notice

'Til after five years

If you'll live that long

You'll wake up

All loveless

I dare you

To take me on

I dare you

To show me your palms

I'm so bored with cowards

That say they want

Then they can't handle

You can't handle love

You just can't handle

I dare you

To take me on

I dare you

To show me your palms

What's so scary ?

Not a threat in sight

You just can't handle

You can't handle love

You can't handle love, baby

You can't handle love

It's obvious

You can't handle

I dare you

To take me on

I dare you

To show me your palms

I'm so bored of cowards

That say they want

Then they can't handle

You can't handle love, baby

You can't handle love,

It's obvious

You can't handle

I dare you, I dare you

“It’s No Good”

by Depeche Mode

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

“The Apologist”

by R.E.M.

They call me the apologist

and now that I'm at peak

you know at first it really hurt

we joke about these things

I've skirted all my differences

but now I'm facing up

I wanted to apologize for

everything I was, so

I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry ...

Did you understand me right?

the people here are good

they tell me what I should have done

and offer what I could

I'm good, all is good

all's well, no complaints

when I feel regret

I get down on my knees and pray

I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry ...

I live a simple life

unfettered by complex sweets

you think this isn't me?

don't be weak

there I go

I'm so sorry

thank you for being there for me

thank you for listening, goodbye

I can forfeit selfishness

I hope for you that you apply

this happiness

this peacefulness

I'm sorry, so sorry, so sorry ...

I live a simple life

unfettered by complex sweets

you think this isn't me?

that's so sweet

I'm so sorry

“Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home”

by Sinead O’ Connor

We used to go out

walking hand in hand

You told me all the big

things you had planned

It wasn't long

till all your dreams came true

Success put me in second place with you

You have no time

to love me anymore

Since fame and fortune

knocked up on our door

And i spend all

my evenings all alone

Success has made a failure of our home

If we could share

an evening now and then

I'm sure we'd find true

happiness again

You never hold me

like you used to do

Oh, it's funny what success

has done to you

You have no time to

love me anymore

Since fame and fortune

knocked up on our door

And i spend all my

evenings all alone

Success has made a failure of our home

I never changed

I'm still the same

I never changed

Stop what you're saying

You're killing me

And am i not your girl?

Am i not your girl?

Am i not?

“Four Strong Winds”

by Neil Young

Think I'll go out to Alberta

Weather's good there in the fall

I got some friends that I could go to working for.

Still I wish you'd change your mind

If I ask you one more time

But we've been through this a hundred times or more.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change come what may.

If all the good times are all gone

Then I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

If I get there before the snow flies

And if things are lookin' good

You could meet me if I send you down the fare.

But, by then it would be winter

Not too much for you to do

And those winds sure can blow cold 'way out there.

Chorus: Four strong winds that blow lonely

Seven seas that run high

All those things that don't change come what may.

If all the good times are all gone

Then I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.

“Sacrifice”

by Sinead O’ Connor

it's a human sign

when things go wrong

when the scent of her lingers

and temptation's strong

into the boundaries

of each married man

sweet deceit comes callin'

and negativity lands

cold, cold heart

hard done by you

some things look better baby

just passin' through

and it's no sacrifice

just a simple word

it's two hearts living

in two seperate worlds

and it's no sacrifice

no sacrifice

no sacrifice at all

mutual misunderstandings

after the fact

sensitivity builds a prison

in the final act

we lose direction

no stone unturned

no tears to damn you

when jealousy burns

cold, cold heart

hard done by you

some things look better baby

just passing through

and it's no sacrifice

just a simple word

it's two hearts living

in two seperate worlds

but it's no sacrifice

no sacrifice

no sacrifice at all

I gave my heart

“Love Comes Tumbling”

by U2

Love don't need to find a way

You find your own way

I forget that I can't stay

And so I say that

All roads lead to where you are

The seed is spilled, the bed defiled

For you, a virgin bride

Hide yourself in someone else

Don't find yourself in me

I can't lift you up again

Love comes tumbling down again

Love don't need to find a way

You find your own way

I forget that you can stay

And so I say that

All roads lead to where you are

“The Last Day of Our Acquaintance”

by Sinead O’ Connor

This is the last day of our acquaintance

I will meet you later in somebody's office

I'll talk but you won't listen to me

I know what your answer will be

I know you don't love me anymore

You used to hold my hand when the plane took off

Two years ago there just seemed so much more

And I don't know what happened to our love

Today's the day

Our friendship has been stale

And we will meet later to finalize the details

Two years ago the seed was planted

And since then you have taken me for granted

But this is the last day of our acquaintance

I will meet you later in somebody's office

I'll talk but you won't listen to me

I know your answer already

But this is the last day of our acquaintance

I will meet you later in somebody's office

I'll talk but you won't listen to me

I know your answer already

“Fire On Babylon”

by Sinead O’ Connor

She took my father from my life oh

Took my sister and brothers oh

I watched her torturing my child

Feeble I was then but now I'm grown

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Fire on Babylon

Fire

She's taken everything I liked

She's taken every lover oh

And all along she gave me lies

Just to make me think I loved her

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Look what she did to her son

Fire

Fire on

Life's backwards

People turn around

The house is burned

The children are gone

Fire

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Fire on Babylon

Fire Fire, oh

Fire, oh

Fire on Babylon

Oh yes a change has come

Look what she did to her son

Fire, haha

Fire

Fire, aha

Fire on Babylon

“Love Is Blindness”

by U2

Love is blindness

I don't wanna see

Won't you wrap the night

Around me

Oh, my heart

Love is blindness

In a parked car

In a crowded street

You see your love

Made complete

Thread is ripping

The knot is slipping

Love is blindness

Love is clockworks

And cold steel

Fingers

Too numb to feel

Squeeze the handle

Blow out the candle

Love is blindness

I don't wanna see

Won't you wrap the night

Around me

Oh, my love

Blindness

A little death

Without mourning

No call

And no warning

Baby, a dangerous idea

That almost makes sense

Love is drowning

In a deep well

All the secrets

And no one to tell

Take the money

Honey

Blindness

Love is blindness

I don't wanna see

Won't you wrap the night

Around me

Oh, my love

Blindness

“Kite”

by U2

Something is about to give

I can feel it coming

I think I know what it means

I'm not afraid to die

I'm not afraid to live

And when I'm flat on my back

I hope to feel like I did

And hardness, it sets in

You need some protection, the thinner the skin

I want you to know

That you don't need me anymore

I want you to know

You don't need anyone or anything at all

Who's to say where the wind will take you?

Who's to say what it is will break you?

I don't know which way the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?

Don't wanna see you cry

I know that this is not goodbye

In summer, I can taste the salty sea

There's a kite blowing out of control on a breeze

I wonder what's gonna happen to you

You wonder what has happened to me

I'm a man

I'm not a child

A man who sees

The shadow behind your eyes

Who's to say where the wind will take you?

Who's to say what it is will break you?

I don't know where the wind will blow

Who's to know when the time has come around?

I don't wanna see you cry

I know that this is not goodbye

Did I waste it?

Not so much I couldn't taste it

Life should be fragrant

Rooftop to the basement

The last of the rock stars

When hip-hop drove the big cars

In the time when new media

Was the big idea

That was the big idea

“Light Years”

by Pearl Jam

I've used hammers made out of wood

I have played games with pieces and rules

I undeciphered tricks at the bar, but now you're gone

I haven't figured out why

I've come up with riddles and jokes about war

I figured out numbers and what they're for

I've understood feelings and I've understood words

But how could you be taken away?

And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go

It don't seem fair

Today just disappeared

Your light reflected now

Reflected from afar

We were but stones

Your light made of stars

With heavy breath awakened regrets

Back pages and days that could have been spent together

But we were miles apart

Every inch between us becomes light years now

No time to be void or save up on life

Oh, you got to spend it all

And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go

It don't seem fair

You seam to like it here

Your light reflected now

Reflected from afar

We were but stones

Your light made of stars

And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go

It don't seem fair

Today just disappeared

Your lights reflected now

Reflected from afar

We were by stones

Your light made of stars

“Ruby Tuesday”

by The Rolling Stones

She would never say where she came from

Yesterday don't matter when it's gone

While the sun is bright

Or in the darkest night

No one knows

She comes and goes

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

Who could hang a name on you?

When you smile with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you...

Don't question why she needs to be so free

She'll tell you it's the only way to be

She just can't be chained

To a life where nothing's gained

And nothing's lost

At such a cost

There's no time to lose, I heard her say

Catch your dreams before they slip away

Dying all the time

Lose your dreams

And you will lose your mind.

Ain't life unkind?

Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday

Who could hang a name on you?

When you smile with every new day

Still I'm gonna miss you...

“You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’”

by The Righteous Brothers

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.

You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.

If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.

We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.

So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.

Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (I need your love), I need your love (I need your love),
So bring it on back (So bring it on back), Bring it on back (so bring it on back).

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo...

Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...

“It’s Too Late”

by Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

“Caroline, No”

by The Beach Boys

Where did your long hair go

Where is the girl I used to know

How could you lose that happy glow

Oh, Caroline no

Who took that look away

I remember how you used to say

You'd never change, but that's not true

Oh, Caroline you

Break my heart

I want to go and cry

It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die

Oh, Caroline why

Could I ever find in you again

Things that made me love you so much then

Could we ever bring 'em back once they have gone

Oh, Caroline no

“Tunnel of Love”

by Bruce Springsteen

Fat man sitting on a little stool
Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you
Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck
Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove
We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love

I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
And them soft thrills in our little fun house
Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
You me and all that stuff we're so scared of
Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love

There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D
I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me
There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother
It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love

it ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love

“Brilliant Disguise”

by Bruce Springsteen

I hold you in my arms as the band plays

What are those words whispered baby just as you turn away

I saw you last night out on the edge of town

I wanna read your mind and know just what I've got in this new thing

     I've found

So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes

Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

I heard somebody call your name from underneath our willow

I saw something tucked in shame underneath your pillow

Well I've tried so hard baby but I just can't see

What a woman like you is doing with me

So tell me what I see when I look in your eyes

Is that you baby or just a brilliant disguise

Now look at me baby struggling to do everything right

And then it all falls apart when out go the lights

I'm just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth

I want to know if it's you I don't trust 'cause I damn sure don't trust

myself

Now you play the loving woman I'll play the faithful man

But just don't look too close into the palm of my hand

We stood at the alter the gypsy swore our future was right

But come the wee-wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied

So when you look at me you better look hard and look twice

Is that me baby or just a brilliant disguise

Tonight our bed is cold

I'm lost in the darkness of our love

God have mercy on the man

Who doubts what he's sure of

“Valentine’s Day”

by Bruce Springsteen

I'm driving a big lazy car rushin' up the highway in the dark

I got one hand steady on the wheel and one hand's tremblin' over my heart

It's pounding baby like it's gonna bust right on through

And it ain't gonna stop till I'm alone again with you

A friend of mine became a father last night

When we spoke in his voice I could hear the light

Of the skies and the rivers the timberwolf in the pines

And that great jukebox out on Route 39

They say he travels fastest who travels alone

But tonight I miss my girl mister tonight I miss my home

Is it the sound of the leaves

left blown by the wayside

That's got me out here on this spooky old highway tonight

Is it the cry of the river

With the moonlight shining through

That ain't what scares me baby

What scares me is losing you

They if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed

But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head

And God's light came shinin' on through

I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew

It wasn't the cold river bottom I felt rushing over me

It wasn't the bitterness of a dream that didn't come true

It wasn't the wind in the grey fields I felt rushing through my arms

No no baby it was you

So hold me close honey say you're forever mine

And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine

“A Simple Twist of Fate”

by Bob Dylan

They sat together in the park.

As the evening sky grew dark.

She look at him and he felt a spark,

Tingle to his bones.

'Twas then he felt alone,

And wished that he'd gone straight.

And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal.

A little confused I remember well.

Stopped into a strange hotel,

With the neon burning bright.

He felt the heat of the night,

Hit him like a frieght,

Train moving with a simple twist of fate.

A saxaphone someplace far off played.

As she was walking down by the arcade.

As the light burst through a beat up shade,

Were he was waking up.

She dropped a coin into the cup,

Of a blind man at the gate.

And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

He woke up the room was bare.

He didn't see her anywhere.

He told himself he did not care,

Threw the window open wide.

He felt an emptyness inside,

To which he just could not relate.

Bought on by a simple twist of fate.

He hears the ticking of the clocks.

And walks along with a parrot that talks.

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks,

Were the saliors all come in.

Maybe she'll pick him out again.

How long must he wait?

Once again for a simple twist of fate.

People tell you its a sin.

To know and feel too much within.

I still believe she was my twin,

But I lost the ring.

She was born in spring,

But I was born to late.

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

“Idiot Wind”

by Bob Dylan

Someone's got it in for me, they're planting stories in the press

Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out but when they will I can only guess

They say I shot a man named Gray and took his wife to Italy

She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me

I can't help it if I'm lucky

People see me all the time and they just can't remember how to act

Their minds are filled with big ideas, images and distorted facts

Even you, yesterday you had to ask me where it was at

I couldn't believe after all these years

You didn't know me better than that, sweet lady

Chorus #1:

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth

Blowing down the backroads headin' south

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

I ran into the fortune teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike

I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's

like There's a lone soldier on the cross, smoke pourin' out of a boxcar door

You didn't know it, you didn't think it could be done

In the final end he won the war after losin' every battle

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are

Visions of your chestnut mare shoot through my head and are makin' me see

stars You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with

lies

One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin' around your eyes

Blood on your saddle

CHORUS #2:

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb

Blowing through the curtains in your room

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot, babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart

You tamed the lion in my cage but it just wasn't enough to change my

heart

Now everything's a little upside down

As a matter of fact the wheels have stopped

What's good is bad, what's bad is good

You'll find out when you reach the top, you're on the bottom

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind

I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed

Your eyes don't look into mine

The priest wore black on the seventh day

And sat stone faced while the building burned

I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees

While the springtime turned slowly into autumn

CHORUS #3:

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull

From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

You're an idiot, babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe

I can't feel you anymore, I can't even touch the books you've read

Every time I crawl past your door, I been wishin' I was somebody else

instead Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy

I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory

And all your ragin' glory

I been double crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free

I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline

Which separated you from me

You'll never know the hurt I suffered nor the pain I rise above

And I'll never know the same about you, your holiness or your kind of love

And it makes me feel so sorry

CHORUS #4:

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats

Blowing through the letters that we wrote

Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves

We're idiots, babe, it's a wonder we can even feed ourselves

5. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

(Bob Dylan)

I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before

Never been so easy or so slow

've been shooting in the dark too long, when something's not right, it's wrong

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Dragon clouds so high above, I've only known careless love

It always has hit me from below

But this time 'round it's more correct, right on target, so direct

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Purple clover, Queen Anne Lace, crimson hair across your face

You could make me cry if you don't know

Can't remember what I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me too much, love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy

Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme

Blue river running slow and lazy

I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time

Situations have ended sad, relationships have all been bad

Mine have been like Verlaine and Rimbaud

But there's no way I can compare all those scenes to this affair

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing

Staying far behind without you

You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying

You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to

I look for you in old Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula

You're gonna have to leave me now, I know

But I'll see you in the sky above, in the tall grass and the ones I love

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

“If You See Her, Say Hello”

by Bob Dylan

If you see her say hello, she might be in Tangiers

She left here last early spring, is living there I hear

Say for me that I'm alright, though things get kind of slow

She might think that I've forgotten her

Don't tell her it isn't so

We had a falling out, like lovers often will

And to think of how she left that night, it still brings me a chill

And though our separation, it pierced me to the heart

She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart

If you get close to her, kiss her once for me

I always have respected her, for doin' what she did and gettin free

Whatever makes her happy, I won't stand in the way

Though the bitter taste still lingers on

>From the night I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people, as I make the rounds

And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town

And I've never gotten used to it, I've just learned to turn it off

Maybe I'm too sensitive, or else I'm gettin' soft

Sundown, yellow moon, I replay the past

I know every scene by heart, it all went by so fast

If she's goin' by this way, I'm not that hard to find

Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time

“Shelter From the Storm”

by Bob Dylan

'Twas in another life time,

One of toil and blood.

When blackness was a virtue

And the road was full of mud.

I came in from the wilderness,

A creature void of form.

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you,

Shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again,

You can rest assured,

I'll always do my best for her

On that I give my word.

In a world of steel eyed death and men

Who are fighting to be warm,

Come in she said,

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm.

Not a word was spoke between us.

There was little risk involved.

everything up to that point,

Had been left unresolved.

Try imagining a place

Where it's always safe and warm

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm.

I was burned out from exhaustion

I was buried in the hail.

Poisoned in the bushes

An' blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile,

Ravaged in the corn

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm

Suddenly I turned around

And she was standing there

With silver bracelets on her wrists

And flowers in her hair.

She walked up to me so gracefully

And took my crown of thorns

Come in she said

I'll give you,

Shelter from the storm.

Now there's a wall between us

Something has been lost.

I took too much for granted

I got my signals crossed

Just to think that all began

On an uneventfull morn

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm

Well the deputy walks on hard nails

And the preacher rides a mount

But nothing really matters

It's doom alone that counts

And the one-eyed undertaker

He blows a futile horn

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm

I've heard newborn babies wailin'

Like a mornin' dove

And old men with broken teeth

Stranded without love.

Do I understand your question, man

Is it hopeless and forlorn.

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm.

In a little hill top village

I gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation

And they gave me a leathal dose.

I offered up my innocence

And got repaid with scorn

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm

Well I'm livin' in a foreign country

But I'm bound to cross the line.

Beauty walk a razors edge,

Someday I'll make it mine.

If I could only turn the clock back

To when God and her were born

Come in she said

I'll give you

Shelter from the storm.

“Free Fallin’”

by Tom Petty

She’s a good girl, loves her mama
loves Jesus and America too
She’s a good girl, crazy ‘bout Elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too

It’s a long day livin’ in Reseda
there’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
and I’m a bad boy, ‘cause I don’t even miss her
I’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart

Chorus:
And I’m free, I’m free fallin’

All the vampires walkin’ through the valley
move west down Ventura Blvd.
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

Chorus

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin’
Gonna leave this world for awhile

“You Can Still Change Your Mind”

by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

It’s gonna be another hard night
You wanna take it all alone
You wanna face up to the trouble
You wanna face up to your soul
And baby you can have it any way you want it
You just get a little lost from time to time
Sometimes it gets a little crazy somewhere down inside

Chorus:
But you can still change your mind
You can change your feelings

Everybody wants all the world can give ‘em
Everybody wants to get all they can get
Everybody’s waiting on somethin’ that hasn’t come yet
And you can hide it for a little while honey
You can try and just lose it for awhile
Then it’s gonna do something to ya somewhere down inside

Chorus

Oh and it gets harder by the minute girl
Oh it gets harder every day
Listen to me darlin’, oh you don’t have to wait

Chorus:
It’s alright, you can still change your mind
Just hold tight, everything’s gonna be alright
If you can change your mind
You can change your feeling

“Don’t Answer Me”

by Alan Parsons Project

If you believe in the power magic,

I can change your mind

And if you need to believe in someone,

Turn and look behind

When we were living in a dream world,

Clouds got in the way

We gave it up in a moment of madness

And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence

Don't let me win

Don't answer me, stay on your island

Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,

It's all a fantasy

So if you need to believe in someone,

Just pretend it's me

It ain't enough that we meet as strangers

I can't set you free

So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence

Don't let me win

Don't answer me, stay on your island

Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Can you change the things we've said and done?

“Sour Girl”

by Stone Temple Pilots

She turned away what was she lookin at?
She was a Sour Girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you lookin at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me

She turned away what was she lookin at?
She was a Sour Girl the day that she met me
Hey! What are you lookin at?
She was a happy girl when she left me

What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do I follow?

Don't turn away what are you lookin at?
He was so happy on the day that he met her
Say, what are you looking at?
I was a Superman, but looks are deceiving

The roller coaster ride's a lonely one
I'd pay the ransom note to stop it from steaming
Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me. . .

What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do I follow?

The girl got reasons, they all got reasons

(chorus x2)

Hey! What are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
The day that she left me
The day that she left me
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
The day that she left me
The day that she left me
She was a sour girl the day that she left me

"I Ain't Mad At Cha"
by 2Pac (feat. Danny Boy)

Change, shit
I guess change is good for any of us
Whatever it take for any of y'all niggaz to get up out the hood
Shit, I'm wit cha, I ain't mad at cha
Got nuttin but love for ya, do your thing boy

Yeah, all the homies that I ain't talk to in a while
I'ma send this one out for y'all, knahmean?
Cause I ain't mad at cha
Heard y'all tearin up shit out there, kickin up dust
[Danny Boy] I ain't...
Givin a motherfucker, heheheheheh
Yeah, niggaz
[Danny Boy] ...mad at cha
Cause I ain't mad at cha

[Verse One: 2Pac]

Now we was once two niggaz of the same kind
Quick to holla at a hoochie with the same line
You was just a little smaller but you still roller
Got stretched to Y.A. and hit the hood swoll
Member when you had a jheri curl didn't quite learn
On the block, witcha glock, trippin off sherm
Collect calls to the till, sayin how ya changed
Oh you a Muslim now, no more dope game
Heard you might be comin home, just got bail
Wanna go to the Mosque, don't wanna chase tail
I seems I lost my little homie he's a changed man
Hit the pen and now no sinnin is the game plan
When I talk about money all you see is the struggle
When I tell you I'm livin large you tell me it's trouble
Congratulation on the weddin, I hope your wife know
She got a playa for life, and that's no bullshitin
I know we grew apart, you probably don't remember
I used to fiend for your sister, but never went up in her
And I can see us after school, we'd BOMB
on the first motherfucker with the wrong shit on
Now the whole shit's changed, and we don't even kick it
Got a big money scheme, and you ain't even with it
Hmm, knew in my heart you was the same motherfucker bad
Go toe to toe when it's time for roll you got a brother's back
And I can't even trip, cause I'm just laughin at cha
You tryin hard to maintain, then go head
cause I ain't mad at cha
(Hmm, I ain't mad at cha)

[Chorus: Danny Boy]

I ain't, mad, at cha [2Pac:] (I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha

[Verse Two: 2Pac]

We used to be like distant cousins, fightin, playin dozens
Whole neighborhood buzzin, knowin, that we wasn't
Used to catch us on the roof or behind the stairs
I'm gettin blitzed and I reminsce on all the times we shared
Besides bumpin n grindin wasn't nothin on our mind
In time we learned to live a life of crime
Rewind us back, to a time was much too young to know
I caught a felony lovin the way the guns blow
And even though we seperated, you said that you'd wait
Don't give nobody no coochie while I be locked up state
I kiss my Mama goodbye, and wipe the tears from her lonely eyes
Said I'll return but I gotta fight the fate's arrived
Don't shed a tear, cause Mama I ain't happy here
I'm through trial, no more smiles, for a couple years
They got me goin mad, I'm knockin busters on they backs
in my cell, thinkin, "Hell, I know one day I'll be back"
As soon as I touch down
I told my girl I'll be there, so prepare, to get fucked down
The homies wanna kick it, but I'm just laughin at cha
Cause youse a down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus: Danny Boy]

I ain't, mad, at cha [2Pac:] (I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad, at cha [2Pac:] (A true down ass bitch, and I ain't mad at cha)

[Verse Three: 2Pac]

Well guess who's movin up, this nigga's ballin now
Bitches be callin to get it, hookers keep fallin down
He went from nuttin to lots, ten carots to rock
Went from a nobody nigga to the big, man on the block
He's Mister local celebrity, addicted to move a key
Most hated by enemy, escape in the Luxury
See, first you was our nigga but you made it, so the choice is made
Now we gotta slay you why you faded, in the younger days
So full of pain while the weapons blaze
Gettin so high off that bomb hopin we make it, to the better days
Cause crime pays, and in time, you'll find a rhyme'll blaze
You'll feel the fire from the niggaz in my younger days
So many changed on me, so many tried to plot
That I keep a glock beside my head, when will it stop?
Til God return me to my essence
Cause even as a adolescents, I refuse to be a convalescent
So many questions, and they ask me if I'm still down
I moved up out of the ghetto, so I ain't real now?
They got so much to say, but I'm just laughin at cha
You niggaz just don't know, but I ain't mad at cha

[Chorus: Danny Boy]

I ain't, mad at cha [2Pac:] (and I ain't mad at cha)
Iiiiiiiii ain't mad [2Pac:] (hell nah I ain't mad at cha) at cha
I ain't, mad at mha [2Pac:] (and I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad at cha [2Pac:] (I ain't mad at cha)
I ain't, mad at cha, noooo
I ain't mad at chaaaaahhhhhhhh

“You Choose”

by Pet Shop Boys

He's gone, you've lost
Stay behind and count the cost
You try, you loose
You don't fall in love by chance - You choose

It's a decision made overtime
Should you take the risk and start to climb
the steepest hill only to find
halfway there you've been left behind
Choosing to love is risking a lot

And trying to change and to keep all you've got
But don't pretend it comes out of the blue
You take a chance and see it through
And if it's refused what can you do?
Continue hopefully
Start a new

Lick your wounds buy your booze
You won't get drunk by accidental choose
Don't blame him for refusing your bid
He didn't decide to love - you did

Learn the lesson take the blows
You didn't fall in love by chance - you chose
Play the sad songs, sing the blues
You don't fall in love by chance - you chose
You chose

“I’m Not the One”

by The Cars

I'm not the one
That you'll be shootin' for
I'm not the one
Who's coming back for more (you know why)
We've been through this so many a-times (you know why)
It's never clear it's pantomime

Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Never lettin' down

I'm not the one
Whose memory you still keepin'
I'm not the one
Who's talkin' in your sleep (you know why)
I don't have to tell you twice (you know why)
Knew you when you weren't so nice

Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Never touchin' down

I'm not the one
That you'll be breakin' in
And I'm not the one
That you'll be takin' in (you know why)
Tried and tried to crack the shell (you know why)
When you fake it's hard to tell

Goin' round and round (round and round)
'Cause you can't get on your feet
Goin' round and round (round and round)
Still takin' all the heat
Goin' round and round (round and round)

“Taken In”

by Mike + the Mechanics

Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises, left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes

I want to believe you but you know how to lie

And if you say you understand I don't believe it

And when you reach out for my hand I don't believe it

And if you say you take the blame I don't believe it

And if say that nothing's changed I don't believe it, don't believe it

Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend

There's one born every minute and you're looking at him

And if you say you want me near I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it

And when you swear that you are mine I don't believe it

And it's your heart that's on the line I don't believe it, don't believe

it

Taken in, taken in again

Wrapped around the finger of some fair-weather friend

Caught up in the promises, left out in the end

No pride, taken for a ride

You say I'm the only one when I look in your eyes

I'd love to believe you but you know how to lie

You say you want me near I don't believe it

And when you're holding back the tears I don't believe it

Oh, there's one born every minute, you're looking at him

Taken in, taken in again

Someone saw me coming, a fool without a friend

I want to believe you, oh

When you say you understand

When you reach out for my hand

Oh, I wish I could believe you

Taken in, taken in again

“Jealous Guy”

by John Lennon

I was dreaming of the past

And my heart was beating fast

I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure

You might not love me anymore

I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes

Thought that you was trying to hide

I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you

I'm sorry that I made you cry

Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you

I'm just a jealous guy, watch out

I'm just a jealous guy, look out babe

I'm just a jealous guy

“You've Got to Hide Your Love Away”

by The Beatles

Here I stand head in hand

Turn my face to the wall

If she's gone I can't go on

Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare

Each and every day

I can see them laugh at me

And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away

How could I even try

I can never win

Hearing them, seeing them

In the state I'm in

How could she say to me

Love will find a way

Gather round all you clowns

Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away

“It's Only Love”

by The Beatles

I get high when I see you go by

My oh my.

When you sigh, my, my inside just flies,

Butterflies

Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?

It's only love and that is all,

Why should I feel the way I do?

It's only love, and that is all,

But it's so hard loving you.

Is it right that you and I should fight

Ev'ry night?

Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright,

Very bright.

Haven't I the right to make it up girl?

It's only love and that is all,

Why should I feel the way I do?

It's only love, and that is all

But it's so hard loving you

Yes it's so hard loving you -- loving you.

“For No One”

by The Beatles

Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all the words of kindness linger on

When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead

You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head

You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years!

“Winterlong”

by Neil Young

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong

It's all illusion anyway

Your things should ever turn out wrong

And all the love we have is gone

It won't be easy on that day

Waiting to follow

Through the dreamlight of your way

It's not so easy falling down

After time is passed away

Things we thought of yesterday

Come back now, come back now, oooh.

I waited for you winterlong

You seem to be where I belong

“I Believe In You”

by Neil Young

Now that you found yourself losing your mind

are you here again?

Finding that what you once thought was real

is gone, and changing?

Now that you made yourself love me

Do you think I can change it in a day?

How can I place you above me?

Am I lieing to you when I say

That I believe in you

Coming to you at night I see my questions

I feel my doubts

Whishing that maybe in a year or two

we could laugh and let it all out

“Birds”

by Neil Young

Lover, there will be another one

Who'll hover over you beneath the sun

Tomorrow see the things that never come

Today

When you see me

Fly away without you

Shadow on the things you know

Feathers fall around you

And show you the way to go

It's over, it's over.

Nestled in your wings my little one

Is special morning brings another sun

Tomorrow see the things that never come

Today

“Only Love Can Break Your Heart”

by Neil Young

When you were young and on your own

How did it feel to be alone?

I was always thinking

of games the I was playing.

Trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart

Try to be sure right from the start

Yes only love can break your heart

What if your world should fall apart?

I have a friend I've never seen

He hides his head inside a dream

Someone should call him and see

If he can come out.

Try to lose the down that he's found.

“Don't Cry No Tears”

by Neil Young

Don't cry no tears around me

'cause when all the water's gone

The feeling lingers on

Old true love ain't to hard to see

Don't cry no tears around me

Well I wonder who's with her tonight?

And I wonder who's holding her tight?

But there's nothing I can say

To make him go away

Old true love ain't to hard to see

Don't cry no tears around me

There's nothing I can say

To make him go away

Old true love ain't to hard to see

Don't cry no tears around me

“WALK ON”

by Neil Young

I hear some people been talkin' me down,

Bring up my name, pass it 'round.

They don't mention happy times;

They do their thing, I'll do mine.

Ooh baby, that's hard to change;

I can't tell them how to feel.

Some get stoned, some get strange,

But sooner or later it all gets real.

Walk on, walk on,

walk on, walk on.

I remember the good old days,

Stayed up all night gettin' crazed.

Then the money was not so good,

But we still did the best we could.

Ooh baby, that's hard to change;

I can't tell them how to feel.

Some get stoned, some get strange,

But sooner or later it all gets real.

Walk on, walk on,

walk on, walk on.

“I'm Looking Through You”

by The Beatles

I'm looking through you, where did you go

I thought I knew you, what did I know

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Your lips are moving, I cannot hear

Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear

You don't sound different, I've learned the game.

I'm looking through you, you're not the same

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

You're thinking of me, the same old way

You were above me, but not today

The only difference is you're down there

I'm looking through you, any other way

Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight

I'm looking through you, where did you go

I thought I knew you, what did I know

You don't look different, but you have changed

I'm looking through you, you're not the same.

“Black”

by Pearl Jam

Ay...

Sheets of empty canvas

Untouched sheets of clay

Were laid spread out before me

As her body once did

All five horizons

Revolved around her soul

As the earth to the sun

Now the air I tasted and breathed

Has taken a turn

Ooh, and all I taught her was, everything

Ooh, I know she gave me all, that she wore

And now my bitter hands

Chafe beneath the clouds

Of what was everything

Oh, the pictures have

All been washed in black

Tattooed everything

I take a walk outside

I'm surrounded by

Some kids at play

I can feel their laughter

So why do I sear?

Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin

Round my head

I'm spinning

Oh, I'm spinning

How quick the sun can, drop away

And now my bitter hands

Cradle broken glass

Of what was everything

All the pictures had

All been washed in black

Tattooed everything

All the love gone bad

Turned my world to black

Tattooed

All I see

All that I am

All that I'll be

Yeah

Uh huh, uh huh, ooh

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life

I know you'll be a sun

In somebody else's sky

But why?

Why?

Why can't it be?

Can't it be mine?

“Heart-Shaped Box”

by Nirvana

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak

I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week

I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap

I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey

Wait

I've got a new conplaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hate

Haight

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Hey

Wait

I've got a new complaint

Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet

Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath

Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black

Throw down your umbilical noose

so I can climb right back

“Nobody’s Fault But My Own”

by Beck

Treated you like a rusty blade

a throwaway from an open grave

cut you loose from a chain gang and let you go

and on the day you said it's true

some love holds, some gets used

tried to tell you i never knew

it could be so sweet

who could ever be so cruel,

blame the devil for the things you do

its such a selfish way to lose

the way you lose these wasted blues these wasted blues

tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own

that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own

when the moon is a counterfeit

better find the one that fits

better find the one that lights

the way for you

when the road is full of nails,

garbage pails and darkened jails

and their tongues are full of heartless tales

that drain on you

who would ever notice you

you fade into a shaded room

it's such a selfish lose

the way you lose these wasted blues, these wasted blues

tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own

tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own

tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own

tell me that it's nobody's fault

nobody's fault

but my own...

“We Can Work It Out”

by The Beatles

Try to see it my way,

Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?

While you see it your way,

Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Think of what you're saying.

You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright.

Think of what I'm saying,

We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,

So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

Life is very short, and there's no time

For fussing and fighting, my friend.

I have always thought that it's a crime,

So I will ask you once again.

Try to see it my way,

Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong.

While you see it your way

There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long.

We can work it out,

We can work it out.

“Yer Blues”

by The Beatles

Yes I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why.

In the morning wanna die

In the evening wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why.

My mother was of the sky

My father was of the earth

But I am of the universe

And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why.

The eagle picks my eye

The worm he licks my bone

I feel so suicidal

Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones

Lonely wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why.

Black cloud crossed my mind

Blue mist round my soul

Feel so suicidal

Even hate my rock and roll

Wanna die yeah wanna die

If I ain't dead already

Ooh girl you know the reason why.

“Every Breath You Take”

by The Police

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep on crying baby, baby please
O can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
{begin fade out}
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

“Wicked Game”

by Chris Isaak

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that i'd meet somebody like you
And i never dreamed that i'd lose somebody like you

No, i don't want to fall in love
[this love is only gonna break your heart]
No, i don't want to fall in love
[this love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you

What a wicked game you play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

“I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)” (live)

by Bob Dylan

I can't understand,

She let go of my hand

An' left me here facing the wall.

I'd sure like t' know

Why she did go,

But I can't get close t' her at all.

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,

She said she would never forget.

But now mornin's clear,

It's like I ain't here,

She just acts like we never have met.

It's all new t' me,

Like some mystery,

It could even be like a myth.

Yet it's hard t' think on,

That she's the same one

That last night I was with.

From darkness, dreams're deserted,

Am I still dreamin' yet?

I wish she'd unlock

Her voice once an' talk,

'Stead of acting like we never have met.

If she ain't feelin' well,

Then why don't she tell

'Stead of turnin' her back t' my face?

Without any doubt,

She seems too far out

For me t' return t' her chase.

Though the night ran swirling an' whirling,

I remember her whispering yet.

But evidently she don't

An' evidently she won't,

She just acts like we never have met.

If I didn't have t' guess,

I'd gladly confess

T' anything I might've tried.

If I was with 'er too long

Or have done something wrong,

I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run an' hide.

Though her skirt it swayed as a guitar played,

Her mouth was watery and wet.

But now something has changed

For she ain't the same,

She just acts like we never have met.

I'm leavin' today,

I'll be on my way

Of this I can't say very much.

But if you want me to,

I can be just like you

An' pretend that we never have touched.

An' if anybody asks me, "Is it easy to forget?"

I'll say, "It's easily done,

You just pick anyone,

An' pretend that you never have met!"

“Don’t Come Around Here No More”

by Tom Petty

Don’t come around here no more
Don’t come around here no more
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey, don’t come around here no more

I’ve given up, I’ve given up --
I’ve given up on waiting any longer
I’ve given up, on this love getting stronger

I don’t feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey, don’t come around here no more

I’ve given up, I’ve given up
I’ve given up, you tangle my emotions
I’ve given up, honey please admit it’s over

Chorus

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to meet?
Whatever you’re looking for
Hey, don’t come around here no more

“With Or Without You”

by U2

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or without you

Through the storm, we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you

With or without you, ah-ha

I can't live

With or without you

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give yourself away

My hands are tied

My body bruised, she's got me with

Nothing to win and

Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away

And you give

And you give yourself away

With or without you

With or without you, oh, oh

I can't live

With or without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

With or without you

With or without you, oh, oh

I can't live

With or without you

Oooooh...

“Special”

by Garbage

I'm living without you but
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
But I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion
A mind of your own
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new infection (x4)
But we were the talk of the town (x4)

I thought you were special (repeat until end)

“Go Your Own Way”

by Fleetwood Mac

Loving you isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever

Change things that I feel? If I could, maybe I'd give you

My world. How can I when you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way, go your own way. You can call it

Another lonely day. You can go your own way, go your own

Way.

Tell me why everything turned around. Packing up, shacking

Up is all you wanna do. If I could, baby, I'd give you my

World. Open up. Everything's waiting for you.

You can go your own way, go your own way. You can call it

Another lonely day. You can go your own way, go your own

Way....(repeat and fade out)

“Landslide”

by Smashing Pumpkins

I took my love and I took it down

Climbed a mountain and turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills

'til the landslide brought it down

Oh, mirror in the sky -What is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changin'...ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

I don't know.....I don't know

Well I've been afraid of changin'

because I've built my life around you

But time makes you bolder, even children get older

And I'm getting older too....

So, take my love...take it down

Climb a mountain and turn around

and if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills...

well the landslide will bring it down

The landslide will bring it down

“Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)”

by Bob Dylan

You say you love me
And you're thinkin' of me,
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me,
But you know you're not that strong.
I just can't do what I done before,
I just can't beg you any more.
I'm gonna let you pass
And I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

You say you disturb me
And you don't deserve me,
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say you're shakin'
And you're always achin',
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care,
It can't be this way ev'rywhere.
And I'm gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell just who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

The judge, he holds a grudge,
He's gonna call on you.
But he's badly built
And he walks on stilts,
Watch out he don't fall on you.

You say you're sorry
For tellin' stories
That you know I believe are true.
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover
And yes, I believe you do.
You say my kisses are not like his,
But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
I'm just gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I'll go last.
Then time will tell who fell
And who's been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

“Don't Think Twice, It's All Right”

by Bob Dylan

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It don't matter, anyhow

An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

Don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

That light I never knowed

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway

So don't think twice, it's all right

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

But goodbye's too good a word, gal

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right

“Just Like A Woman”

by Bob Dylan

Nobody feels any pain

Tonight as I stand inside the rain.

Everybody knows that baby's got new clothes,

But lately I see her ribbons and her bows

Have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman.

She makes love just like a woman.

And then she aches just like a woman.

But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend.

Yes I believe I'll go see her again.

Nobody has to guess that baby can't be blessed

'Till finally sees that she's like all the rest

With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls.

She takes just like a woman.

She makes love just like a woman.

And then she aches just like a woman.

But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first, and I was dying there of thirst,

So I came in here.

And your long-time curse hurts, but what's worse

Is this pain in here.

I can't stay in here.

Ain't it clear...

That I just can't fit.

I believe it's time for us to quit.

But when we meet again, introduced as friends,

Please don't let on that you knew me when

I was hungry, and it was your world.

You take just like a woman.

You make love just like a woman.

And then you ache just like a woman.

But you break just like a little girl.

“What It Takes”

by Aerosmith

There goes my old girlfriend

Well there's another diamond ring

And all those late night promises

I guess they don't mean a thing

So baby what's the story

Did you find another man

Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made

When you don't look back I guess the feelings start to fade away

I used to feel your fire

But now it's cold inside

And you're back on the street

Like you didn't miss a beat, yeah

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Tell me how the pain's supposed to go

Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night

Without thinking you lost everything that was good

In your life to the toss of the dice

Tell me what it takes to let you go

Girl before I met you

I was F.I.N.E. fine

But your love made me a prisoner

Yeah my heart's been doin' time

Spent me up like money

Well then you hung me out to dry

It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise

'Cause you had me deep with the devil in your eyes

Tell me that you're happy that you're on your own

Tell me that it's better when you're all alone

Tell me that your body doesn't miss my touch

Tell me that my lovin' didn't mean that much

Tell me you ain't dyin' when you're cryin' for me

Tell me who's to blame for thinking twice (no no no no)

'Cause i don't wanna burn in paradise

(let it go let it go ... )

“Layla”

by Derek and the Dominos

What'll you do when you get lonely

And nobody's waiting by your side?

You've been running and hiding much too long.

You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.

Layla, I'm begging, darling please.

Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation

When your old man had let you down.

Like a fool, I fell in love with you,

Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation

Before I finally go insane.

Please don't say we'll never find a way

And tell me all my love's in vain.

Chorus

“The One I Love”

by R.E.M.

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I've left behind

A simple prop to occupy my time

This one goes out to the one I love

Fire (she's comin' down on her own, now)

This one goes out to the one I love

This one goes out to the one I've left behind

Another prop has occupied my time

This one goes out to the one I love

“Love Will Tear Us Apart”

by Joy Division

When routine bites hard,

And ambitions are low,

And resentments ride high,

But emotions won't grow,

And we're changing our ways, taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,

All my failings exposed.

And there's a taste in my mouth,

As desperation takes hold.

Just that something so good just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.

Love, love will tear us apart again.

“No Woman No Cry”

by Bob Marley

No, woman, no cry;

No, woman, no cry.

'Cause - 'cause - 'cause I remember when a we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown,

Oba - obaserving the 'ypocrites - yeah! -

Mingle with the good people we meet, yeah!

Good friends we have, oh, good friends we have lost

Along the way, yeah!

In this great future, you can't forget your past;

So dry your tears, I seh. Yeah!
