Visions of Paradise - Mick Jagger/Rob Thomas

Don't tell me when
Something is beautiful
And don't tell me how to
Talk to my friends
Just tell me the names of
The stars in the sky
What's your favourite song
Tell me the names of the
Lovers you had
Before I came along

Don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise

And don't ask me where
All of the pain goes
'Cause you make me feel
That I don't know myself
You say that you want me forever
And I say that love is no crime
So tell me the names of the children
We'll have at the end of the line

So don't put your arms around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise
And don't let me near the garden
Of earthly delights
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise

Just use your heart not your head
While I fall apart in my bed
I find myself aching for you
I feel myself breaking in two

So don't tell me when I should
Come on home
There might be a time you don't
Want me around
Don't build your world around me
And don't hold me tight
'Cause I could get used to
Your vision of paradise

Alright - Reamonn

Wipe those tears away from your eyes
Just take my hand you don't have to cry
It'll be alright, baby, I'll make it alright

Don't let the world get you down
Reach for the love that's all around
It'll be alright, baby, we'll make it alright

I'll pick you up when you're feeling down
I'll put your feet back on solid ground
I'll pick you up and I'll make you strong
I'll make you feel like you still belong

Cause it's alright, yeah it's alright
Let me make it alright, make it alright
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

Sometimes the words, well, they're just not enough
Afraid of feelings and in need of love
To make it alright, baby, I'll make it alright

Where will you run to where will you hide
I know the pain comes from deep down inside but
It'll be alright, baby, we'll make it alright, baby

Let me make it alright, make it alright
Let me make it alright, make it alright
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright, stay with me tonight

I'll pick you up when you're feeling down
I'll put your feet back on solid ground
I'll pick you up and I'll make you strong
I'll make you feel like you still belong

Cause it's alright, yeah it's alright
Let me make it alright, make it alright
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright
Stay with me tonight

It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright, yeah it's alright
It's alright
Stay with me tonight

Skyhooks - Women in Uniform gold - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb4AdU6rbFc

Hello there sailor
Hi there Lili Marlene
Good morning school girls
Welcome to the team

Beehive hairdo forty-five on the hip
Patrolwoman Saunders don't you give her no lip
Took me to the station for a breath test
Then back to her bedroom for some house arrest

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but oooh they feel so warm

Flying to my hometown on a 747
Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven
Looking up the aisle trying to see what I could see
She leaned over and said coffee tea or me
White apron and brown leather shoes
The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised
Broke my left leg and sprained my right
Now she takes my temperature every night

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm
Women in uniform Women in uniform
Women in uniform Women in uniform

Commando raid on the Lebanese border
Sergeant Anita she gives the order
Khaki jacket and a sten gun
Baby I surrender let's have some fun

Khaki navy blue and brass buttons bring me to my knees
A peaked cap and a badge or two oooh they're such a tease
So girls if the man you need just won't come across
Put on a uniform show him who's the boss

Women in uniform sometimes they look so cold
Women in uniform but ooh they feel so warm
Women in uniform khaki white and blue
Women in uniform coming after you

hmmmm.....


Speed Of Sound

Yesterdays how quick they change all lost and long gone now.
Want to remember anything moving at the speed of sound.
With the speed of sound.
And yet im still holding tight
To this dream of distant light
And yet somehow ill survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a sun
That just don’t come

Can I forgive what I cannot forget
and live a lie?
I could give it one more try

Why deny this drive inside just looking for some peace
Everytime I get me some it gets the best of me
Not much left to see

And yet im still holding tight
To this dream of distant light
And that somehow I'll survive
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a word
That never comes

The whisper in the dark
Is that you or just my thoughts?
Im wide awake and reaching out

Its gone so quiet now
Could it be I’m farther out
Moving faster than the speed of sound

Why at 2 am do you end up thinking about everything you shouldn't....


Have a little Faith~Michael Franti and Spearhead

I know its hard when you're down
And the bad times seem to follow you around
And you got no reason to show
Don't let it go...oh no

And when it's 3 in the morn
And you've told your whole life story to a telephone
And the radio's the only thing to let you know
You're not alone...oh no

Just have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go...oh no

And I wish I was there
Just to run my own fingers through your worries and cares
Even though I stumble and fall
Don't let it go...oh no

And when the rain falls down you know the flowers are gonna bloom
And when the hard times come you know the teacher's in the room
And when the sun comes up you know that I'll be there for you
Don't let it go...oh no

Just have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go...oh no

Just have a little faith in me
I have a little faith in you
So have a little faith in me
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go

Just be strong for you, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for you, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for you, I'll be strong for you
Just be strong for you, I'll be strong for you

Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go
Don't let it go

Have a little Faith

hey night-owl, just a GREAT song

i'll raise your S.O.S - after November hopefully that's 2 version i've seen live

Coldplay

How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never travel you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light,
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up.

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
A sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand


All those signs I knew what they meant,
Some things you can invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh-ooh

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand.

The Day I Fall in Love ~James Ingram ft. Dolly Parton

Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I looked into your eyes and knew
Today would be a first for me
The day I fall in love
On the day I fall in love
Sky will be a perfect blue
And I'll give my heart forever more
To someone who is just like you
The day I fall in love
People all say love is wonderful
That the bells will ring
The birds will sing
The skies will open
I wonder where's that great big symphony
Roll over Beethoven
Won't you play with me
And I'll never promise to be true to anyone
Unless it's you
Unless it's you
The day I fall in love
Just an ordinary day
Started out the same old way
Then I looked into your eyes and knew
Today will be a first for me
A first for me
The day I fall in love
I know you'll be there
Ooh....I know...
The day I fall in love

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight_ U2


She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight
There's a part of me in the chaos that's quiet
And there's a part of you that wants me to riot

Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?

A change of heart comes slow

It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me, or are you doubting
We're gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight

Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls
Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow

It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
We?re gonna make it all the way to the light
But you now I'll go crazy if I don?t go crazy tonight

Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone

It's not a hill, it's a mountain
As we start out the climb
Listen for me, I'll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light

You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy
You know we'll go crazy if we don't go crazy tonight

Oh oh
Slowly now
Oh oh

Man in my mind - 3 Doors Down

Cloud in my mind,
Trouble my thoughts.
Your silence is beauty,
but your beauty is lost.
There's a sandy man hidden.
You seven times think
that you're very tired and ridden,
but you never once blink.

There's a man in my mind,
kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
paralyzing all my thoughts.

Got a wide eyed view
from a chemical thrill,
set in the pace of time
and prowlin' the killin' field.
Tracer from far away
to this life in my empty cell.
It seems life is just a lie
but there's still the lie to tell.

There's a man in my mind.
kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
paralyzing all my thoughts.

There's a man in my mind.
kickin' in the walls.
Trailin' my innocence,
paralyzing all my thoughts.

There's man in my mind
There's a man.
The man in mine

I love this one... reminds me of not so good times though...


Jimmy Eat World ~ "Carry You"


When I know I'm all alone
I say your name slowly
And I know that I'm alone
But I carry you

Does it feel good like the memory
When you try some history?
It's a dream to come around
The rule doesn't bend
Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

It's easy feeling righteous when removed
All you'll get is what you want to hear
It hurts because it should
How else am I to make it clear?

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes
You told the most, the best of anyone
You said to keep me in your pocket
So I carried you

You better choose your words carefully
Because I'm not your anything
Going to stay here in my place
And you'll stay in yours
Because you're only good as what you're good for

I pace around the room to spend the time
Waiting while the burning pictures fade
One thing to make your mind
And another to say its name

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed
It passed

I'm still carrying a little hope
That maybe things could be different now
Is that so wrong? Is that so wrong?
Is that so wrong?

Would I see you tonight
At a place we'd go?
Could going through the motions
Lead to real emotion?
I want to make things right
Before time runs out
It was like you said
The taste don't taste like it should
Roll down the windows
Let the cold air come in, yeah
Slap my face just to feel
Just to feel you somehow again, yeah

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Well, here's to living in the moment
'Cause it passed

I could never be the one that you want
Don't ask
Yeah, here's to living in the moment
Because it passed, it passed
'Cause it passed, passed
It passed

Picking up pieces - Blue October

I really need to talk with you
I keep stepping on the vein that keeps my lifeline flowing thru
I want to be your perfect stick of glue,
but I don't feel perfect at all
Sad and insecure flaw
I find it hard to hold conversation
I get sweaty sick and I wanna walk away
It's not you it's strictly me in this situation
I'm wondering will it ever go away...
just go away

Sometimes I feel like weeping
awake and then I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
This puzzle I've been keeping
has been in hiding,
creeping out the closet door
spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart

I'll be as honest as I feel
I'm getting more paranoid
and I'm hearing things
and they never turn out real
It feels like my heart is made of pure steel
It's just so heavy all the time
Yea I'm scared of death and I'm scared of living
I gave up on the past cause it's unforgiving
I misplaced my trust
I watched my word begin to rust
I'm a balloon about to bust
I need a place for reliving,

but sometimes I feel like weeping,
awake and then I'm sleeping
Perfecting how to put a game face on
This puzzle I've been keeping
has been in hiding,
creeping out the closet door
spilling out onto the floor

How long will I be picking up pieces
How long will I be picking up my heart
How long (in another place and time)
will I be picking up pieces
in the corner of my mind
How long (it's getting oh so hard to find)
keep picking up pieces
in the corner of my mind
But I still walk on

Ben Gibbard ~ You remind me of home

You remind me of home: the paint cracks when the water leaks
from the rusty pipes that are just beneath my feet
You remind me of home: the heater's warm but fills the room with a
potpourri of dust and gas fumes

You remind me of home: a broken bed with dirty sheets that creaks
when I am shifting in my sleep
You remind me of home: in a suburban town with nothing to do,
patiently waiting for something to happen
But the foundation is crumbling and becoming one with the ground
while you lay there in slumber...
You're wasting your lie

You remind me of home: sitting on a thrift store couch, I'm trying to
get this all down

Placebo - Special Needs

FUCK this is a good song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elVMHKb8A4A

Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me special needs

Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
Think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screams
Remember me special dreams

Just 19 this sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior
Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me...

Just 19 this sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior
Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me...

somehow this reminds me of you...

Untitled / MFC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxoXSS25xOA

I got a car, I've got some gas
oh let's get out of here
get out of here fast
everyone's confused
so i stay in my room
if i go i dont want
to go alone

I hope you get this message
or you're not home
I could be thare in
10 minutes or so
i got my things
we make it up as we go along
with you i could never be alone

Sliding out of reverse into drive, this
We will be turning right, then straight
Off in the sunset she'll ride
She can remember a time denied
Stood by the side of the road, spilled like wine now
She's out on her own and I'm high

There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
She's disappeared

They said that timing was everything
Made him want to be everywhere
There's a lot to be said for nowhere

There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
He's disappeared
There's no leaving here
Ask- I'm an ear
Fuck it- we've disappeared

Happy Birthday Miss Kat...

pick me up song!

The Bucket

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
3 in the morning come a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
Unless you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

Look at the shaky's
what's with the blush?
fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk, your japanese scream
It's been too long since i've left the shed
You kick the bucket, I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die, but old is the grave
