The Lyrics

There's a track that's played backwards and then one that has more than one artist. Stop me if you've heard this one though:
 
Fool in the rain - Led Zeppelin

Oh, baby

Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shining
Like a star that can't wait for a night
I hate to think I've been blinded baby
Why can't I see you tonight
And the warmth of your smile starts a-burnin'
And the thrill of your touch gives me fright
And I'm shaking so much, really yearning
Why don't you show up, make it all right, yeah, it's all right, all right

And if you promised you'd love so completely


And you said you would always be true
You swore that you would never leave me, baby
What ever happened to you
And you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me, baby
I'm standin' here feeling blue, blue
Ha, yeah, I'm blue, hoh, baby

Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I'll watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I'm turning around, 'round
The clock on the wall's moving slower
Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Light of the love that I found


Light of the love that I found
Ohhhh, that I found

Hey babe

Oooh, hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over

Oooh, tired of the light
I just don't seem to find
Have you wait, get away

Whoa oooh, I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you
You I gotta get it all
Gotta get it all, gotta get it all
I've got to get all

Ooh, now my body is starting to quiver
And the palms of my hands getting wet, ohh
I've got no reason to doubt you baby
It's all a terrible mess
An' I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, ohhhhhh yeah
Hey now, ohhhhhh-hoh

Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I
Light of the love that I found
Light of the, hey now
Light of the, hey now
Light of the love that I found
Light of the love that I found

I'll run in the rain till I'm breathless
When I'm breathless I'll run till I drop, hey
The thoughts of a fool's kind of careless
I'm just a fool waiting on the wrong block, oh yeah
Light of the love that I found...
 
Darius Rucker - If I Told You

What if I told you about my little nothing town
The two room house where I came from
The man that I got my name from
I don't even know where he is now

What if I told you sometimes I lose my faith
I wonder why someone like you would even talk to me
What if I told you there is no fixing me
Cause everybody has already tried

Would you stay?
Would you leave?
I could wait
It'll all come out eventually

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I've blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be
When there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way?
Could you love me anyway?

What if I told you I don't plan on staying here
My dreams are a million miles away
And I know your family is gonna want you to stay
You know what I don't blame 'em

So I'll say
What I don't want to
And I'll just pray
You want what I do

If I told you all the stupid things I've done
I've blamed on being young
But I was old enough to know I know
If I told you the mess that I can be
When there's no one there to see
Could you look the other way?
Could you love me anyway?
Aww, could you love me anyway?

So before we go any further here
Let a week turn into another year
There some things you probably don't wanna hear
But you have to

If I told you sometimes I get jealous
Sometimes I'm half crazy
Would you say the hell with me, the hell with me
If I told you I barely know what love is
But girl if that's what this is
I don't want to let it slip away
No, no, no

Could you love me anyway?
Please
Could you love me anyway?
Could you love me anyway?
Could you love me anyway?
 
Florida Georgia Line - This Is How We Roll

The mix tape's got a little Hank, little Drake
A little something bumping, thump, thumping on the wheel ride
The juice is a little stronger than you think
So get a grip, take a sip of that feel right
The truck's jacked up, flat beds flipped back
Yeah you can find us where the party's at

This is how we roll
We hanging round singing out everything on the radio
We light it up with our hands up
This is how we roll
And this is how we do
We're burning down the night shooting bullets at the moon baby
This is how we roll

Yeah baby this is how we roll
We rollin' into town
With nothing else to do we take another lap around
Yeah holla at your boy if you need a ride
If you roll with me yeah you know we rollin' high
Ballin' thirty seven nittos, windows tinted hard to see though
How fresh my baby is in the shotgun seat oh
Them kisses are for me though, automatic like a free throw
This life I live it might not be for you but it's for me though
Let's roll!

This is how we roll
We hanging round singing out everything on the radio
We light it up with our hands up
This is how we roll
And this is how we do
When the world turns ugly I just turn and look at you baby
This is how we roll

Yeah we're proud to be young
We stick to our guns
We love who we love and we wanna have fun
Yeah we cuss on them Mondays
And pray on them Sundays
Pass is around and we dream about one day

This is how we roll
We hanging round singing out everything on the radio
We light it up with our hands up
This is how we roll
And this is how we ride
We slingin' up the mud, cuttin' through the countryside baby
This is how we roll

Yeah this is how we roll
This is how we roll
Yeah this is how we roll
This is how we do
We're burning down the night shooting bullets at the moon baby
This is how we roll
Yeah this is how we roll
 
And Also the Trees - Gone... Like the Swallows

Balancing on the wind
Leaning on the cliff edge wind, in limbo—
He watches sand running through the fingers
of his left hand and into the palm of his right.
He sees someone walking in a hot dry wasteland,
Young, hesitant steps...
Recognised her crooked fringe and narrow eyes—
Threadbare, summer patterned, dirty cotton flowered dress...
Scratched ankles and nail bitten hands.
Wanted to touch her cool brown hair...
But she was gone.
And his old tired face was as still as ever.
An aeroplane hummed way up in the sky
High up above the clouds.

A green teapot and a pair of boots
A broken pocket watch and chain,
A born dead baby pig
Lying, pure white... bloodless
Soft, smooth as a gloved lady's hand;
a spinning wheel, a bill hook,
An umbrella, empty bottles, tin bath,
Rip-saw, a hat stand and a slate grey pill box hat—
Sailed past his grabbing hands,
And were gone... like the swallows.

Stuttered words... Voices asking questions he cannot hear
Come and find us... Step back or you'll fall—
But the aeroplane is humming so loud now.
Tried to cling to the summer, cotton
Light threadbare patterned sleeveless
Flowered dirty carnation sunflower
Sweatstained primrose threadbare
Dirty disappearing decaying flowered
Fading cotton, forgotten fucking summer dress—
But it was gone...
Gone like the swallows.
 
Nirvana - Dumb

I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is done, but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb. or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy

My heart is broke, but I have some glue
Help me inhale, and mend it with you
We'll float around, and hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover...

Skin the sun, fall asleep
Wish away, the soul is cheap
Lesson learned, wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them, but I can pretend
The sun is gone, but I have a light
The day is done, but I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
 
Lucinda Williams Car Wheels on a Gravel Road


Sittin' in the kitcken, a house in macon
loretta's singing on the radio
smell of coffee, eggs, and bacon
car wheels on a gravel road
pull the curtains back and look outside
somebody somehere i don't know
come on now child we're gonna go for a ride

car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road

can't find a damn thing in this place
nothing's where i left it before
set of keys and a dusty suitcase
car wheels on a gravel road
There goes the screen door slamming shut
you better do what you're told
when i get back this room better be picked-up

car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road

low hum of voices in the front seat
stories nobody knows
got folks in jackson we're going to meet
car wheels on a gravel road
cotton fields stretching miles and miles
hank's voice on the radio
telephone poles trees and wires fly on by

car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road

broken down shacks engine parts
could tell a lie but my heart would know
listen to the dogs barkin in the yard
car wheels on a gravel road
child in the backseat about four or five years
lookin' out the window
little bit of dirt mixed with tears

car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
car wheels on a gravel road
 
And what shall I do
I try to speak and words stop short of my tongue
They make their way back to my thoughts
Still crafted by a still soul
I move my eyes around trying to find a place to rest
I can't see it but I feel the light

"Killer Wolf" - Danzig

I'm the wolf
I'm the one you want
I'm the killer wolf
I'm 'onna pound you home
I'm the wolf
Howlin' all night
I curl up next to you
When you're all alone

When I go inside your little girl, and I do
When I go inside your little girl

Just one kiss, yes
From my lips
Rake your soul
Over burning coals

I'm the wolf
Howlin' all night
I'm the king wolf
I put the chill in your bones
I'm the wolf
Hunting you down
I ain't no back door wolf
I don't scratch at no doors

When I go inside your little girl, and I will
When I come inside your little girl

Just one kiss, yes
From my lips
Rake your soul
Over burning coals
Just one touch
From my love
Make you howl
'Til the sun comes up
I'm the wolf

When I go inside your little girl, and I will
When I come inside your little girl

Just one kiss, yes
From my lips
Rake your soul
Over burning coals
Just one touch, yes
From my love
Make you howl
'Til the sun comes up
I'm the wolf

Howlin' all night
I'm your killer wolf
Whatever you want
I'm the wolf
Howlin' all night
I'm your wolf
 
If you give me it all, I will search and listen.

Falling - Beth Orton

I hear you
'Bout a million miles from here
I'm with you
But I don't know if it's clear
And I don't look down
What I see is what I get
So I close my eyes
And I feel you better there

And I'm falling backwards
I'm falling sidewards
And I'm falling backwards from your arms
From your arms

And it looks like
Our harvest didn't come in
It feels like
We are losing everything
Now my phone book
Is filling up with dead friends
And I wonder
Who would answer if I called them
You copy you paste you lose
And I'm falling backwards
I'm falling sidewards
I'm falling backwards from your arms
From your arms
Works like a charm

I'm falling backwards
I'm falling sidewards
I'm falling backwards from your arms

And I've fallen so hard
I've fallen so low
And I can't get back to where we were
Get back to where we were

Oh I'm falling, falling
Oh I'm falling, falling
Oh I'm falling from the sky
Love brought me right back to you
Love brought me right back to you

When I was falling so hard
When I'd fallen so low
That I can't get back to where we were
I got back to where we were
 
A Strange Boy - Joni Mitchell

A strange boy is weaving
A course of grace and havoc
On a yellow skateboard
Through midday sidewalk traffic
Just when I think he's foolish and childish
And I want him to be manly
I catch my fool and my child
Needing love and understanding

What a strange strange boy
He still lives with his family
Even the war and the navy
couldn't bring him to maturity

He keeps referring back to school days
And clinging to his child
Fidgeting and bullied
His crazy wisdom holding onto something wild
He asked me to be patient
Well I failed
"Grow up!" I cried
And as the smoke was clearing he said
"Give me one good reason why"

What a strange strange boy
He sees the cars as sets of waves
Sequences of mass and space
He sees the damage in my face

We got high on travel
And we got drunk on alcohol
And on love the strongest poison and medicine of all
See how that feeling comes and goes
Like the pull of moon on tides
Now I am surf rising
Now parched ribs of sand at his side

What a strange strange boy
I gave him clothes and jewelry
I gave him my warm body
I gave him power over me

A thousand glass eyes were staring
In a cellar full of antique dolls
I found an old piano
And sweet chords rose up in waxed New England halls
While the boarders were snoring
Under crisp white sheets of curfew
We were newly lovers then
We were fire in the stiff blue-haired house rules
 
You Don't Know Me - Ray Charles

You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello"
And I can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

Well, you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend
That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside that lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me
And then you say "Goodbye"
I watch you walk away beside that lucky guy
Oh you will never know
The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
 
Ticket to ride ...the Beatles

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me

I think I'm gonna be sad
I think it's today, yeah
The girl that's driving me mad
Is going away, yeah

Oh, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

I don't know why she's riding so high
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me
Before she gets to saying goodbye
She ought to think twice
She ought to do right by me

She said that living with me
Is bringing her down, yeah
For she would never be free
When I was around

Ah, she's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
She's got a ticket to ride
But she don't care

My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care
My baby don't care, my baby don't care (fade out)
Love your choice Elle *waving hello*
 
Yuna - Unrequited Love

Spoken Intro:
Sometimes you find yourself trying to let go of something
But it's like you have been swimming in the ocean
For a very very long time
And you feel like you belong there
You are one with the waves
The warmth of the water
And your body moves in sync with the ocean
And you swim around just trying to stay afloat
Then you get tired and you start to drown
And you swim back to land
When you get there you just feel so heavy
Because you lost touch with gravity for so long
And you collapse on the beach
As you try to find balance again
And then your feet finds gravity
You stand up and you look at the horizon one last time
And just know that no matter how beautiful the sea was
And how good it made you feel it was never yours for you to keep
And someday's you will miss it, you know
And you feel yourself moving with the waves
And you dream of diving in
Then you realize your feet was meant for land
And not cut out for the ocean
Maybe you're meant to climb trees
Or hike hills or just run really fast
Letting go is not easy
There is nothing quite like swimming in the ocean
Just like how it's natural for your feet to find gravity
It's natural for you to let go
And find your true purpose in life again
The sea is the sea
And you are just you
I have to let go
But sometimes I find myself waking up at the beach again


Only when I look into your eyes
My senses ignite
I feel life
I was waiting for an answer
Like a feather falling
From the sky

You don't want to belong to me
Cause freedom feels better
Than I could give
You love inadequately
But you steal hearts like mine
Perfectly

Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't all of me
Pass it all

For as long as I can remember
Like oil and water we collide
But you don't seem to want forever
This adventure was only real to my eyes

You don't want to listen to me
Cause freedom sounds better
I can see
You love inadequately
You steal hearts like mine
Perfectly

Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't all of me
Pass it all

You're a man with excuses
Cause we've had something real
But it was only what I feel, no
Oh you're man, with your muses
Always wanting something new
And I was just someone that you could use

Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be my unrequited love
(Unrequited love)
Why can't all of me
Pass it all

David Bowie - As The World Falls Down

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes
A kind of pale jewel
Open and closed
Within your eyes
I'll place the sky
Within your eyes
There's such a fooled heart
Beatin' so fast
In search of new dreams
A love that will last
Within your heart
I'll place the moon
Within your heart
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers 'til now,
We're choosing the path
Between the stars
I'll leave my love
Between the stars
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill is gone
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you-ou-ou
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down, falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down, falling
Falling
Falling
Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love
As the world falls down

No more ~ LL Cool J

We need to have a conversation

I made you, why would I play you?
Trade home, base four, California angel
Swinging a fast bitch, foul out, betray you
When I won't even wanna hit it in a day or two
Straight home I'd run, well, that's debatable
I can't front, I hit a slump all players do
But tough times are minor to a major dude
We all lose sometimes, I call it paying dues
Now you're searching all the clubs for what's available
A year ago, my slot was unassailable
My feast is a famine without you to cater to
If these walls could talk, what would they say to you?


Don't understand what we gonna do
But it's like you don't know me
And I don't know you, no more
Not no more!
And it's like damn, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here not no more!
Baby, baby,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, that girl no more!

The dining room has an empty chair
The mirrored staircase has an empty stair
House full of company, but no one's here
We singing cheers while we holding back tears
To keep up appearances in front of our peers
We play holiday card tricks every year
Blackjack, poker, make the joker disappear
The ace can't breathe when it's tension in the air
Three clubs in one night, but nobody cares
Cause it's still not a full house without a pair
You tipped your hand, but the text wasn't clear
You're dealing from the bottom queen of hearts, play fair!

Don't understand what we gonna do
But it's like you don't know me
And I don't know you, no more
Not no more!
And it's like damn, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here not no more!
Baby, baby,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, that girl no more!

Slip in the door, you hold my hopes so
All I hear is love don't live here anymore
We can tear the house down or build some scaffold
We're sitting on a fence, so where you wanna go?
You're the architect of your life, it's your show
You create the blueprint and how the rooms flow
Before you burn the house down, think, take it slow
Even arsonists need a shelter, let me know

Don't understand what we gonna do
But it's like you don't know me
And I don't know you, no more
Not no more!
And it's like damn, how the hell we get here?
No idea, but we're not what we were before
Could it be that I don't love you and you don't love me no more?
That girl don't live here not no more!
Baby, baby,
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, that girl no more!
 
Hate this place~ goo goo dolls

Gone away
Who knows where you been
But you take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Take your time
Move yourself to me
Yeah, I can take your lies
Until you fall away

You know I'm lost
Hiding in your bed
No, I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head

Can you feel it?
I didn't mean it
Can I see you?
What are we doin'?
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin'
Nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hey, whatcha do to me?
Would you come back to me?
Yeah, I can't do another day
I'm not certain of it anyway
I ain't messin' with another life
Can I get along without you?
Tell me the lies that you know I need

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
Hold on dreamaway
 
Rush - "Entre Nous"

We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No one else has read
Even joined in bonds of love
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads

We are planets to each other
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse
Each of us a world apart
Alone and yet together
Like two passing ships

[Chorus:]
Just between us
I think it's time for us to recognize
The differences we sometimes fear to show
Just between us
I think it's time for us to realize
The spaces in between
Leave room for you and I to grow

We are strangers to each other
Full of sliding panels
An illusion show
Acting well rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know

[Chorus]

We are islands to each other
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea
Some are burned or swept away
Some we would not choose
But we're not always free

[Chorus]
