I feel you (Depeche Mode)


I feel you
Your sun it shines

I feel you
Within my mind

You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes

You take me to
And lead me through
Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings

I feel you
The joy it brings

Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again

You take me to
And lead me through
Oblivion

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your precious soul

And I am whole

I feel you
Your rising sun
My kingdom comes

I feel you
Each move you make

I feel you
Each breath you take

Where angels sing
And spread their wings
My love's on high

You take me home
To glory's throne
By and by

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

Welcome home-Sanitarium (Metallica)

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged


Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
The dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can’t they see it’s why my brain says

 “rage”

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium,

just leave me alone

Build my fear of what’s out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I’m insane


They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He’s getting better, can’t you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our

"hell"

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium,

just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

Real (Gorgon City Ft. Yasmin)

You and I
were so in love
Nothing could ever come between us


But me and you
We're so confused
And now we're left in broken pieces

I know that the faster you rise is
the harder you fall
We were one, now we don't care it all


You and I
Just can't be free
Now all I know is that we used to be real


We used to be real
 
You and I
We're far too young
Thought we knew what we were feeling


But me and you
We had no clue
And now we're lost and have no meaning


We know we need to let go
It's the end of the road, don't go back
we can get by on our own.

 
 
You and I
Just can't be freed
All I know is that we used to be real


We used to be real

We used to be so real


Ain't no happy ending
When we're living life pretending
No answer to our questions 

We are just too far gone, remember
We had everything
We were so complete

If (Pink Floyd)

If I were a swan,
I'd be gone.
if I were a train,
I'd be late.
and if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
more often than I do.


If I were to sleep, 
I could dream.
if I were afraid, 
I could hide.
if I go insane,
please don't put
your wires in my brain.


If I were the moon,
I'd be cool.
if I were a rule, 
I would bend (for you).
if I were a good man,
I'd understand
the spaces between friends.


If I were alone, 
I would cry.
and if I were with you
I'd be home and dry.
and if I go insane,
and they lock me away,
will you still let me join in the game?


If I were a swan,
I'd be gone.
if I were a train,
I'd be late... again.
if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
more often than I do

The zephyr song (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of leg to bite on?
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on?
Take a look it's on display for you
Coming down, no not today

Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up it’s on with Stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pickin’ up but not too strong for you
Take a piece and pass it on

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together
Fly on my wind

Rebel and a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look it's on display for you
Comin’ down, no not today

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’ll find a place together

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We’ll find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We’re gonna live forever
Forever

Sunny Afternoon (The Kinks)

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me,
save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama
trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me,
help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons
why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime

 Ah, save me, save me,
save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama
trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime

Precious (Depeche Mode)

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

We always try 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

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing 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

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two

Kryptonite (Three Doors Down)

Well, I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying
somewhere in the sands of time

But I watched the world float
to the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do

I watched the world float
to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew
it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well,
will you be there a-holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down

You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still call me Superman?
If I'm alive and well,
will you be there a-holding my hand?
I'll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Pigs on the wing I & II (Pink Floyd)

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care
 for you

We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally
glancing up through the rain

Wondering
which of the buggers to blame

And watching
 for pigs on the wing

You should know that I care
what happens to you,

And I know
that you cared for me too.

So I don't feel alone,
With the weight of the stone,

Now that I've found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.

And any fool knows
a dog needs a home,
A shelter
 from pigs on the wing.

Silence (Delirium)

Give me release
witness me
I am outside
give me peace

Heaven holds a sense of wonder
and I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

Passion chokes the flower
'til she cries no more
possessing all the beauty
hungry still for more

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

I can't help this longing
comfort me
I can't hold it all in
if you won't let me

Heaven holds a sense of wonder...

In this white wave
I am sinking
in this silence
in this white wave
in this silence
I believe

I have seen you
in this white wave
you are silent
you are breathing
in this white wave


 I am free

Coming back to life (Pink Floyd)

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight.. Into the shining sun

Lonesome town (Ricky Nelson)

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it 'Lonesome Town'
Where the broken hearts stay
 
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears
 
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away
 
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Funky Monks (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

There are no monks in my band
There are no saints in this land
I'll be doin' all I can
If I die an honest man

Confusion is my middle name
Ask me again I'll tell you the same
Persuaded by one sexy dame
No I do not feel no shame

 You are on the road
Can I get a little lovin' from you
Can I get a little bit of that done did do
You are on the road
Tell me now girl that you need me too
Tell me now girl
cause I've got a feeling for you

Every man has certain needs
Talkin' 'bout them dirty deeds
To these needs I must concede
Livin' by my lowly creed

Woman please know that I'm good
Know that I did all I could
But yes it's true likelihood
Of being great is not so good


You are on the road
Can I get a little lovin' from you
Can I get a little bit of that done did do
You are on the road
Tell me now girl that you need me too
Tell me now girl

cause I've got a feeling for you

 There are no monks in my band
There are no saints in this land
I'll be doin' all I can
If I die an honest man

Virtue slipped into my shoe
No I will not misconstrue
More rockin' more rockin' now doobley do
Dancin' down your avenue
 
You are on the road
Can I get a little lovin' from you
Can I get a little bit of that done did do
You are on the road
Tell me now girl that you need me too
Tell me now girl
cause I've got a feeling for you

Gone too long (Him Self Her)

Always (don't)

Life
Always


Life, don't always turn out like you planned 
(turn out)

 Life, don't always turn out like you planned
But these things is making me who I am
Now why, is this so hard to understand?
Since you've been away
I turned into a better man

'Cause baby, you've been gone too long
Gone too long
And you had me, you played me
I'm moving on

Gone too long
And gone too long
Did you really think I'd keep hanging on?
You had me, you played me
I'm moving on

Lying in the dark I thought I heard you speak
Tried to listen but your voice became too weak
Then I knew: I had to get back on my feet
On my feet, oh baby

Won't take this
No longer
You're weak, but
I'm stronger
I got lost in
In the distance
And we're gone from, existence

And no sweet talk, and we'll fix this
'Cause you've burned all, your bridges
I can't see you, I can't hear you
Now

Life, don't always turn out like you planned
But these things is making me who I am
Now why, is this so hard to understand?
Since you've been away
I turned into a better man

'Cause baby, you've been gone too long
(can't take this, no longer)
Gone too long
(you're weak but I'm stronger)
And you had me, you played me
(I got lost in, in the distance)
I'm moving on (and we're gone from, existence)

Gone too long (and no sweet talk, and we'll fix this)
Gone too long ('cause you've burned all, your bridges)
Gone too long (I can't see you, I can't hear you now)
Gone too long (can't see)

Life
it is what is

Vinegar and Salt (Hooverphonic)

I...
like the things that you hate
And you...
hate the things that I like

 But it hurts
Honesty's your church
But sometimes
Its better to lie

 I...
am the vinegar and salt
And you...
are the oil that dissolves
My frustration

 Honesty's limitation
But sometimes
Its better to lie

 I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations

 But sometimes...
I don't dare to ask why

The most beautiful girl in the world (Prince)

Could you be
the most beautiful girl in the world ?
It's plain to see
you're the reason that God made a girl

When the day turns into the last day of all time
I can say I hope you are in these arms of mine
And when the night falls before that day I will cry
I will cry tears of joy 'cause after you all one can do is die

Could you be
the most beautiful girl in the world ?
Could you be ?
It's plain to see
you're the reason that God made a girl
yes you are

How can I get through days when I can't get through hours ?
I can try but when I do I see you and I'm devoured
Who'd allow, who'd allow a face to be soft as a flower ?
I could bow (bow down) and feel proud in the light of this power

And if the stars ever fell one by one from the sky
I know Mars could not be too far behind
'cause baby, this kind of beauty has got no reason to ever be shy
'cause honey, this kind of beauty is the kind that comes from inside

Could you be
the most beautiful girl in the world ?
Could you be ?
It's plain to see
you're the reason that God made a girl
yes you are

Midnight Man (Flash & The Pan)


Twelve o'clock,
You
climb your stairs
You turn the key
And no one's there
No one's there
It's cold in bed

And there's the fire
It's on your wall
And there's a note
No one's called
No one's called
Ain't that small

But I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To your
promised land
I'm your
helping hand
Your
midnight man

You try to sleep
But
sleep won't come
You lie awake
And toss and turn
Toss and turn
And burn burn burn burn

You read a book
And try some food
You have a smoke
It ain't no good
It ain't no good
You remember

But I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To your
promised land
I'm your
helping hand
Your
midnight man

No need to be there
Out on your own
You've got my number
You've got the phone
Any time any day
And I'll be on my way

I'm at your window
I'm at your door
I'm on the ceiling
I'm on the floor
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming
Here I come

'Cause I can help you
I can understand
I can help you
To your
promised land
I'm your
helping hand
Your
midnight man

Mad about you (Hooverphonic)

Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain
 it's driving me insane
I can't fake for God's sake, why am I
 driving in the wrong lane


Trouble is my middle name
 but in the end I'm not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
So mad
about you
mad about you

Are you the fishy wine who will give me
 a headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine
 that'll explode without a decent warning

Give me all your true hate
 and I'll translate it in our bed
Into never seen passion,
never seen passion
That's why I am so mad
 about you
mad about you

Trouble is your middle name
 but in the end you're not too bad
Can someone tell me if it's wrong to be
 So mad
about you
mad about you

 Give me all your true hate
And I'll translate it in your bed
Into never seen passion,
never seen passion
 That is why I am
So mad
about you
mad about you

The sweetest thing (U2)

My love throws me like a rubber ball
 the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
  the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
  the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
  the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
  the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
  the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
 I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
 the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
 the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
 the sweetest thing

Flowers on the wall (The Statler Brothers)

I keep hearing you're concerned about my happiness
But all that thought you're giving me is conscience I guess
If I was walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worried about me
I'm having lots of fun
 

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire 'till dawn
with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
 

Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream, it's hard to slow this swinger down
So please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doing fine
You can always find me here, I'm having quite a time
 

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn
with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
 

It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So I must go back to my room and make my day complete
 

Counting flowers on the wall
That don't bother me at all
Playing solitaire till dawn
with a deck of fifty-one
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothing to do
 

Don't tell me I've nothing to do
