The Lyrics

Son Volt - Drown

What doesn't kill you
makes you wish you were dead
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take

one more moment of this silence
The loneliness is hauting me
And the weight of the world's

getting harder to hold up
It comes in waves
I close my eyes
Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not okay
and it's not alright

Won't you tread the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
don't let me drown

Who will make me fine?
Drag me out alive

Save me from myself
don't let me drown
What doesn't destroy you
leaves you broken instead
Got a hole in my soul growing deeper and deeper
And I can't take

one more moment of this silence
The loneliness is hauting me
And the weight of the world's getting harder to hold up

It comes in waves
I close my eyes

Hold my breath and let it bury me
I'm not okay
and it's not alright
Won't you tread the lake and bring me home again?
Who will fix me now?
Dive in when I'm down?
Save me from myself
don't let me drown
Who will make me fine?
Drag me out alive
Save me from myself
don't let me drown
Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
Cause you know that I can't do this on my own
don't let me drown...

The Clash -- Stay Free

We met when we were in school
Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools
The teacher says we're dumb
We're only having fun
We piss on everyone
In the classroom

When we got thrown out I left without much fuss
An' weekends we'd go dancing
Down Streatham on the bus
You always made me laugh

Got me in bad fights
Play me pool all night
Smokin' menthol

I practiced daily in my room
You were down the Crown planning your next move
Go on a nicking spree
Hit the wrong guy
Each of you get three
Years in Brixton

I did my very best to write
How was butlins?
Were the screws too tight?
When you lot get out
Were gonna hit the town
We'll burn it fuckin' down
To a cinder

'Cause years have passed and things have changed
And I move anyway I want to go
I'll never forget the feeling I got
When I heard that you'd got home
An' I'll never forget the smile on my face
'Cause I knew where you would be
An' if you're in the Crown tonight
Have a drink on me
But go easy...step lightly...stay free

Sinéad O'Connor - 'Til I Whisper U Something

Sure hate to see you looking so sad
Delicate man it needn't be that bad
You sit with me and I will listen
You'll feel much better when you open

You said all you wanted was a good time
Like a big hill you have to climb
And you got to be willing

You stand tall and you be strong
You have ruthless compassion
For yourself and for everyone
Yeah it's hard but it can be done

I know you've every right to feel grief
You've not had anything that you need
But you put your head on my shoulder
Till I whisper you something
Till I whisper you something

It don't take much to have a good time
A lot of lovemaking and a little wind
And you got to be willing

You stand tall and you stand strong
You try ruthless compassion
For yourself and for everyone
Yeah it's hard but it can be done

But you put your head on my shoulder
'Til I whisper you something
'Til I whisper you something

It's a long walk towards a good time
It's a big hill you have to climb
And you got to be willing

It don't take much to have a good time
A lot of lovemaking and a little wind
And you got to be willing

If you've never seen a good time [Repeat: x3]
How would you recognize one
How would you recognize one, how would you
How would you even find one
How would you, if you've never seen a good time
If you've never seen a good time
If you've never seen a good time
How would you recognize one

Baby I'm broken
I can't be with you
Been tumbling down down down
Cause my heart ain't got the room
I'm just so sorry
I know I'm moving too slow
And you want it now now now
Don't pretend nobody told you so

I can't remember, I don't understand
is it malice that makes you this way?
Carry it with you til someone forgives you
I laugh cause there's nothing to say
You can't begin to consider the
palpable hate in the air when you're here
None of us wonder what weather you're under
you're making it perfectly clear

Soundgarden - Blow up the outside world

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside world

Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

What if I came knocking - John Mellencamp

What if I came knocking
On your front door some night?
Would you open the window
And drop me down the key?
What if I came knocking
On your bedpost that same night?
Would you open up your heart
Or try to get the best of me?
What if I came knocking
On your brain the next day
And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty?
Would you build up your big walls
And try to hide behind that smile
Or would you try to pull the wool right over me?
So what if I came knocking?
So what if I came knocking?
So what if I came kicking
And it scared you a little bit
And I came on strong
Would you think
That there's something wrong with me?
Or could it be your fears
Of trying something real
Or just afraid to touch
A guy like me?
What if I came knocking?
What if I came knocking?
What if I came knocking
On your front door some night? Ahh
So let's just say it worked out
Like a storybook dream
And we lived happily ever after
Fa la la la
But what if I came crying
After just a few weeks
And said I misread my heart
This is not really meant to be? yeah
So if you hear some knocking
On your window tonight
You can bet that it's probably me
But let it be known
That we're just a pair of tumbling dice
And the outcome of these crap shoots
Is hard to see
So what if I came knocking?
So what if I came knocking?
So what if I came knocking
On your front door tonight? Ahh
So what if I came knocking?
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking
Kick, kick, kick
What if I came knocking
On your front porch tonight, tonight?

Fiona Apple ~ Slow Like Honey

You moved like honey
In my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires
Were burning
You came near to me
And you endeared to me
But you couldn't
Quite discern me
Does that scare you?
I'll let you run away
But your heart
Will not oblige you
You'll remember me
Like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the
World inside you

And my big secret
Gonna win you over
Slow like honey
Heavy with mood

I'll let you see me
I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me
Like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder
What it is about me

It's my big secret
Keeping you coming
Slow like honey
Heavy with mood

Though dreams
Can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for
Sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality
Lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across
Like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cause I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Just Like Honey

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
It's good, so good, it's so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

I'll be your plastic toy
I'll be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey

And maybe I'm crazy
Oh, it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me
No one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true
You better believe it

That I would do anything for love
And I'll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love
And I'll take the vow and seal a pact

But I'll never forgive myself
If we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
No, I won't do that

BULLETPROOF - Radiohead

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Stirring up inside of me
Every day, every hour
Wish that I

Was bulletproof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this, just wish that it

Was bulletproof
Was bulletproof

So pay me money and take a shot
Lead fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles, all surrogate

And bulletproof
And bulletproof
And bulletproof
Bulletproof

The Pretty Reckless

Take Me Down


Been waitin' at these crossroads
Forever and a day
On a guy to buy my soul
I spend all night and day
How much harder can I play
You know I gave my life to Rock n' Roll
Here we go
Momma begged me please
Yes, she got down on her knees
Said 'You'll burn in that Mississippi sun'
But I'm the only one that's standing here
So Mama don't you have no fear
I’m either last or I've already won
Here I go
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Won't you take me down
Standing at the crossroads
A dried up pen in hand
The conversation went like this
'Tell me your desire why you pulled me from the fire
And we'll seal the deal with a kiss'
Said 'I wanna raise the dead
Find a note that I can shred
On my walls I scrawl my gods
Don't care what happens when I die
As long as I'm alive
All I wanna do is rock, rock, rock!
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Won't you take me down
Sign with the devil, sign with the devil, sign with the devil
Sign with the devil, sign with the devil, sign with the devil
Sign with the devil, sign with the devil, sign with the devil
Sign with the devil, sign with the devil, sign with the devil
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Won't you take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down
Won't you take me down

Joni Mitchell -- In France They Kiss On Main Street

Downtown
My darling dime store thief
In the War of Independence
Rock 'n' roll rang sweet as victory
Under neon signs
A girl was in bloom
And a woman was fading
In a suburban room
I said take me to the dance
Do you want to dance?
I love to dance
And I told him They don't take chances
They seem so removed from romance
They've been broken in churches and schools
And molded to middle class circumstance
And we were rolling rolling rock 'n' rolling

Downtown
The dance halls and cafes
Feel so wild you could break somebody's heart
Just doing the latest dance craze
Gail and Louise
In those push-up brassieres
Tight dresses and rhinestone rings
Drinking up the band's beers
Young love was kissing under bridges
Kissing in cars kissing in cafes
And we were walking down Main Street
Kisses like bright flags hung on holidays
In France they kiss on Main Street
Amour, mama, not cheap display
And we were rolling, rolling, rock 'n' rolling

Downtown
In the pinball arcade
With his head full of pool hall pitches
And songs from the hit parade
He'd be singing "Bye Bye Love"
While he's racking up his free play
Let those rock 'n' roll choir boys
Come and carry us away
Sometimes Chickie had the car
Or Ron had a car
Or Lead Foot Melvin with his hot-wire head
We'd all go looking for a party
Looking to raise Jesus up from the dead
And I'd be kissing in the back seat
Thrilling to the Brando-like things that he said
And we'd be rolling rolling rock 'n' rolling

Massive Attack ft. Hope Sandoval - The Spoils

[Verse 1]
I got that feeling, that bad feeling that you don't know
I don't even know her but I hope that she comforts you tonight

[Verse 2]
Nobody here that keeps you in the shade and ever owned you
Some sentimental tears or someone else's girl that drips away

[Chorus 1]
But I somehow slowly love you
And wanna keep you the same
Well, I somehow slowly know you
And wanna keep you away

[Verse 1]
I got that feeling, that bad feeling that you don't know
I don't even know her but I hope that she comforts you tonight

[Chorus 2]
And I somehow slowly love you
And wanna keep you this way
Well, I somehow slowly know you
And wanna keep you away, away

[Chorus 3]
And I somehow slowly love you
And wanna keep you this way
Well, I somehow slowly know you
And wanna keep you

[Chorus 1]
But I somehow slowly love you
And wanna keep you the same
Well, I somehow slowly know you
And wanna keep you away

Nas (off Stillmatic... track#?)

If he cough he might die, passin' me trees
The liquor bottle's almost empty
We about to collide, with the enemy
Only way you die if it's meant to be
