Why is it ME? This not my day
I burnt myself with coffee and my brand new doggie ran away.
How can it be? I can't not believe
I don't have any money and I have to pay the bills today.
I wish that I could run away

Myself esteem is low. At losing I'm a pro
But there is one thing that I know
It'd all be good if I could just stay home

What should I do?
He told me "I Hate You!"
I don't know where to live next year and my guitar won't stay in tune
Where should I go? I am so all alone
I broke my new computer and nobody calls me on the phone
I wish I weren't so accident prone

Myself esteem is low. At losing I'm a pro
But there is one thing that I know
It'd all be good if I could just stay HOME

Tsunami Bomb - Very Bad Day.

we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
where are we going, so far away
and somebody told me that this is the place
where everything's better, everything's safe
walk on the ocean
step on the stones
flesh becomes water
wood becomes bone
and half and hour later we packed up our things
we said we'd send letters and all those little things
and they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
it seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came

now we're back at the homestead
where the air makes you choke
and people don't know you
and trust is a joke
we don't even have pictures
just memories to hold
that grow sweeter each season
as we slowly grow old

Toad Wet Sprocket-Walk On The Ocean

Tired at 20 years OLD
Memory collecting before his time
Recall the old stomping ground
I see a tear welling up in his eye

No, you can't cheat time, don't let that control your life
Hold your breath, close your eyes, just jump in, the water's fine

These pleas fall on deaf ears
Ears that were once tuned to truth
A dated, washed up old man
Has seen it all, nothing else for him to do

No, you can't cheat time, don't let that control your life
Goes over your head, you look over your shoulder
When you turn back you're that much older

It slips away
Be what you're becoming
It slips away
And not who you were
It slips away
Grab hold of the here and now while you still have the chance

So are you giving up now?
As for adventures you've had your fill
Who says you're over the hill?
I think it was you and you know very well

You're holding yourself back
(Turn your face to the day)
When you could be doing anything
(Don't just dig your own grave)
When will you trust yourself
(Take with you what you learn)
The same as I do
(Be yourself, not who you were)

I want to see you use your capabilities
Build me an ocean then destroy it with your EYES

Tsunami Bomb - Twenty Going On...

Honey you are a rock,
Upon which I stand,
And I came here to talk,
I hope you understand,
The green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you,
I came here with a load,
And it feels so much lighter now I met you,
And honey you should know,
That I could never go on without you,
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea,
Upon which I float,
And I came here to talk,
I think you should know

The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find,
And anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind,
Because I came here with a load,
And it feels so much lighter since I met you,
Honey you should know,
That I could never go on without you,
Green eyes, green eyes
Oh oh oh oh (x4)

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

Coldplay-Green Eyes

You just can't seem to underSTAND
The reason why i am gone
That was the last time that you make me
The little one you step on
I've had it up to here
The end is drawing near
I'm leaving you my dear

Can't you see
You can't break me
I'm not the same as i used to be
I've overcome the misery
And i will be the person that i want to be

And somewhere out there
Lies a person who is stronger than this world
I'm not suffering,
I'm not helpless,
And i'm not your little girl
So listen if you can
And try and understand
Cuz' i need a better man

Can't you see
You can't break me
I'm not the same as i used to be
I've overcome the misery
And i will be the person that i want to be

I know you're not the one to change
I'd rather leave you standing
Than try to rearrange
I'll only turn and walk away
Accept responsibility for what you see
Cuz' it's time you see
That i'm not the same!

Can't you see
You can't break me
I'm not the same as i used to be
I've overcome the misery
And i will be the person that i want to be

Why can't you SEE?

I've got something to say
I have finally realized
That i'm wasting my life away
You've made so many promises
That's all you ever do

Things would have turned out this way
Should've listened
To all the things my friends would say
How could you say you loved me?
Well, i know that wasn't true
You were never thinking of me

Save Ferris - Im Not Crying For You

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just dont care


And I said "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, thats the one thing we've got."


I see you - the only one who knew me,
And now your eyes see through me
I guess I was wrong
So what now? It's plain to see we're over,
And I hate when things are over -
When so much is left undone.

Deep Blue Something-Breakfast at Tiffanys

So unimpressed but so in awe
Such a saint but such a whore
So self aware so full of shit
So indecisive so adamant
I'm contemplating thinking about thinking
It's so frustrating just get another drink in
Watch me come UNDONE

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I come undone
I come undone

So rock and roll so corporate suit
So damn ugly, so damn cute
So well trained, so animal
So need your love, so fuck you all
I'm not scared of dying I just don't want to
If I stopped lying I'd just disappoint you
I come undone

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
I pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet

Because I'm scum
And I'm your son
I've come undone

So write another ballad
Mix it on a Wednesday
Sell it on a Thursday
Buy a yacht by Saturday
It's a love song
A love song
Do another interview
Sing a bunch of lies
Tell about celebrities that I despise
And sing love Songs
We sing love Songs
So sincere
So sincere

They're selling razor blades and mirrors in the street
Pray that when I'm coming down you'll be asleep
If I ever hurt you your revenge will be so sweet
Because I'm scum
I'm your son
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I've come undone
I am scum
Love your son
I am scum
Love your son
You've gotta love my sad song, my love song
My sad song, my love song, my sad song, my love SONG

Robbie Williams - Come Undone

One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory -- on another empty life
Time flies -- time dies
Glory -- One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory -- glory
Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then - no need to endure anymore
Time dies

Roger (RENT)- One Song, Glory

one day i saw a man asleep in a doorway
on the street thru walls of sheltered inhibition
i perceived his condition dying of hunger and exposure,

food and shelter two blocks over
within this place we breed and dwell
in we've created living hell
sleep long sleep
well only to awake in hell city
sleeps and pigeons flutter
vagrant DIES in the gutter prideless death
somehow befitting to life
spent working on forgetting riding on the bus
i looked outside and thought about death
passing cars the only tribute to his gasping final breath

sleep long sleep
well only to awake in hell
(constant subliminal brain immersion subconcious death wish coercion buy and consume and want and need never fall from the trap of greed)
i thought about the bitter pain of jail cells
and falling rain i thought ahead
and looked away what can you do anyway in sheltered youth
and our pretension avert our eyes to divert attention
only to see the human victins
always there to remind us sleep long sleep
well only to awake in HELL

Operation Ivy - Sleep Long

The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what

I guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you

The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow

Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a [sic] evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

[Instrumental]

When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

[Instrumental]

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet

Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been

And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

The Devil Down To Georgia-The Charlie Daniels Band

There's NO room for sides, divided is all we'll be
Yeah we've made mistakes but mistakes we have learnt from
Just cos it's in a song, don't mean it can't be wrong
I'm just another thinker looking for some answers
Yeah I'm young, I may have got it wrong
But at least I can admit, react and move forward
You'll twist inside, fearing damage to your pride
But pride is a belief in yourself worked, conceived over time
There's no room for sides,
I'm not the first to say that your pride DIVIDES

for years now we've fought alone
but segregation won't build us a home no
our strength will grow through community
so what is it to be?
well sometimes we feel happy
and sometimes we feel proud
and so we keep on struggling
sometimes i'm so tired i can't see the good through the bad
but still we keep on struggling

our time is now
what you gonna do?
are you just gonna sit and let IT pass you?
our time is now
what you gonna say?
unification today

people say that we will never go
but negative is all they're offering
those people say
but they will never know
rewards we've gained through years of struggling
cos their judgements are based on what they're told
so they will never BREAKTHROUGH

When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow i have to make this final breakthrough
Now

I wake up
Feel just fine
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something you're touching me
I'm under your thumb under your spell can't you see
If i could only reach you
If i could make you smile
If i could only reach you
That would really be a breakthrough - oh yeah

Breakthrough these barriers of pain
Breakthrough to the sunshine from the rain
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow i have to make this final breakthrough
Now!

Queen-Breakthru

never had the luck to see that face before
at most i've only had a fleeting chance
but NOW it looks as though you're just not fleeting anymore
now it has turned into quite some romance
and i'm distant no longer more
since you have come to pass right through
right through that open door
people come and people go in the end they're all the same
the quest for someone special is all so clear
trying to find identity
trying to find a name i seem to find myself since you've here
and i'm distant no longer more
since you have come to pass right through
right through that open door
i've fought oppression
i've paid the price
but here with you it's twice as nice so
i'll change my ways
i'll start today
i've got to change my life
my heart goes out to all of you the many who have tried
to try and grasp what of that they may dream
i'll tell you right now all of you in your venture to find
it'll happen so fast you won't have time to BREATH

Pennywise - Open Door

hold on to me love
you know i can't stay long
all i wanted to say was i love you and i'm not afraid
can you hear me?
can you feel me in your arms?

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

i'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
i know you hear me
i can taste it in your tears

holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there

say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black

Evanscence-My Last Breath

Light in the doorway
shining so bright
in the doorway
i clench your hips
for the flesh
you tore my prose
in the doorway
animal lie
like the doorway
as you hide
hear it then
will you let me in
let me in
oh in the doorway
we were so young
in the doorway
release the BLACK dogs
on our breasts
we'll never rest
we'll never rest
we'll never forget
i ain't never gonna let you REST

Misfits - In The Doorway

So now I've made the decision
to walk behind you in the dark for the rest of my life
and I'll never show my face again
because it's too scarred and bloody to be enough
and I don't have the right stuff-
all I have are the empty boxes to carry away your heart
and I think that tonight I will sneak into your house
and I'll sing songs and wake you up
and I'll take you blindfolded dancing onto bridges
and you'll say you don't to be with me
'cause no one ever does and no one ever thinks of me that way
but I will even drive you home if you never let me forget about you
and if you promise me that I'm good enough for someone
'cause I've got to be good enough for you
and someday soon I'll get it right
and then you'll see just how good I can be
so don't ask me about forever because right now I'm feeling lost
but there's got to be some place for me because if there isn't where will I go?
Will there be some place for me and will you be waiting there for me?
If and when we get there please catch me before I crawl all the way home
but I won't stop until you do.

Misfits - Theme For A Jackal

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin` in a Rock & Roll Band
I never had no problems
Burnin` down the night stands

And everything around me,
Got to stop to feelin` so low
And I decided quickly,
Yes I did
To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they were
Dancin` and singin`
and movin` to the groovin`
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die ,
oh till you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were outta there minds
How could I be so foolish
To not See I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
Loosing every step by the way
I said, I must go back there
In Jackessee still the things are the same

When they were
Dancin` and singin`
and movin` to the groovin`
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die,
oh till you die

SOLO

At first it wasn`t easy
Changed in Rock`n`Roll at mind
The things won`t get `n shaking
I thought I have to leave it behind

But now it`s so much better
I`m funking out and out by the way
Well, I`ll never loose that feeling
How I learned by lesson yeahea

When they were
Dancin` and singin`
and movin` to the groovin`
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that ufnky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die,
oh till you die

That`s all
Play that funky music...
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right

a refreshing plunge
a drink of palatable water
a deep inspiration on a warm summer day
a safe stroll in a middle of the road community
a neighbour who in times of need will not turn away
i ain't no politician
i am a citizen
and i wonder if i'm living too far out of bounds community protection
rehabilitation, police that serve without legitimate RIGHT to maim
global awareness
ecological guilt
cultural and environmental awakening
i ain't no optimist
i try to be a realist
and i think that we're living too far out of bounds
is it too much to ask?
could it be the earth is shrinking?
i can see the walls closing in
no one can take much for granted anymore remote control
three cars for every family
corruption at the expense of the simple majority
a violent clash
a plunder of the third world
any wretched ploy that bolsters our economy
i ain't no blind supporter
i'm a conscious citizen
and i know that we're living too far out of bounds
is it too much to ask?
could we keep the earth from sinking?
i'm not taking nothing for granted ANYMORE

Bad Religion - Too Much To Ask

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

More lies about a world that

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she

Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie

I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore

It Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Evanescence - Everybody's Fool

fools run the government
sick foreign policy
their words sound valiant but their hands are green
unending quest for power
taxes that make us slaves
don't believe a word of it
ignore the fucked up things they say
i'm gonna make it
on my own
dictator on a throne
make my own philosophy
u.s. of me
a citizen who's really pissed
united anarchists
give me death or liberty
i am my own country
united states confederate of me
old whigs in parliament
play bedroom politics
salacious stories make them look obscene
spin on your nemesis
fill up the news today
don't believe a word of it
not all the fucked up things they say
it's ail me no secret POLICE

Pennywise - My Own Country

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
but the wind blows round my heels, so I stay
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else
trying to find somehow to get away.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

Sometimes I sit here hearing voices in my head
I try to understand, to make some sense.

I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defence.

If I asked him nicely d'you think he'd show me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now to try

Try, all of my sins
'cos I can't stop now,
just don't leave me behind.

Sometimes I lie awake, wondering if I'll get out of here,
but the words stick in my throat and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else,
trying to find somehow to get away

If I asked him nicely d'you think he's show me how to fly,
'cos the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try.

Phil Collins - Love Police Lyrics

everytime i TRY so hard i get
nothin' (nothin')
they say try and you won't fail, i
get nothin' (nothin')
i did all that i could i got nothin'
(nothin')
i tried so hard, for nothin' (nothin')
i never wanted it that way, guess
there was nothin' i could say
i don't know what i want. but i know
i don't want this
i give up, i give in, i know i'm
never gonna win
i know it's really not your fault
i'm gonna blame you anyway
you say you're sorry, but i know it
won't do no good
i give up, i give in, i knowi'm
never gonna win.

i don't fucking care,
i don't fucking care,
i don't fucking care anymore
it's gonna be all right
cause i don't fucking care ANYMORE.

Reel Big Fish - Nothing

tell me everything you know
but everything you know is wrong
I got the vision - double vision
I got the answers knew them all along
I'm not that way now anymore
you do not know me like before
and now I can't take you anymore
i'm not like i was before
don't need you anymore
don't have time for don't have room for
can't take you anymore
we used to laugh at stupid things
we used to plan and we used to scheme
but idealistic is not realistic
an intellectual's opium dream
i'm not that blind to it anymore
i'm not that kind too like before

Wanderers-Cant Take You Anymore

every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who i am BEFORE i roll the dice
the option is the only thing that i decide you see
i live for a moment now i never did before
with all and everything i sweap the floor
random i am i never give a damn
about what's gonna happen
next my wife and kids they left me
my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've gotta pay
if you're gonna go your own way
solvin' problems can be done in many ways
i don't care, i just roll the dice
it's o.k, cause i just have to pretend
that i am someone else get rid of all the habits
not that's the plan come on and try it
and you'll feel grand the first step is the hardest step
to take imagination is the only brake
just roll the dice
and everything will turn out nice
you can be who you wanna be
do what you wanna do
and do it how you like
this is my way of getting through the day
but i still don't KNOW

Millencolin - Random I Am

Hold on to me love
You know I can’t stay long
All I wanted to say was
I love you and I’m not afraid

Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms
Holding my last breath?
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

I’ll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree

I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears.
Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you.

Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

Closing your eyes
You pray your dreams will leave you here,
But still you wake and know the truth -
No one’s there.

Say goodnight, don’t be afraid
Calling me, holding me, as you fade to black.

(say goodnight) holding my last breath
(don’t be afraid) safe inside myself
(holding me) are my thoughts of you
Sweet rapture and life,
It ends here tonight.

Evanescence- My Last Breath

I gotta go gotta go gotta go before I do something stupid I gotta go
Gotta go gotta go gotta go before I do something lame
I know it's your fault that I’m in the mess I’m in
And you think I’m cool but I don’t man
Maybe its too soon but I think it's too late
And things like bad timing just won’t wait
Maybe it's not right (I have a girlfriend) made a friend TONIGHT (who is a girl and)
I just wanted to talk you but then I started wondering if she's the one, or not

So I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something stupid
I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something lame
I know that flirting is nothing and it should be where it ends
But I know yes I know that I want you for more than a friend
Maybe it's not right (I have a girlfriend) made a friend tonight (who is a
girl and) I just wanted to talk you but then I started wondering if she's the one

So I gotta go, gotta go, gotta go before I do something stupid but I know,
I know it's too LATE

Reel Big Fish - A Little Doubt Goes A Long Way

I don't want to die
Even though I have to
I just want to live a long, long time

And I see the gang to which I belong
Time to sing out our happy song
Wouldn't it be a cruel joke
If it's too late to try? Why?

I don't wanna grow
Even if it's good growth
I just wanna stay just like this

And I see the comfortable place to rest
Time to get this shit off my chest
Wouldn't it be a cruel joke
If it's too late to try? Why?

Weezer-To Late To Try

You say you're down you can’t lose that frown
Life sucks. What else is new? That’s tough.
There's not much you can do- you're not the only one not havin’ any fun

I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through
I've been depressed and I get so stressed
Life sucks. I don't wonder WHY. That's tough.
I just keep on tryin’, so I won’t be the one not havin’ any fun

I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through
I'm not givin’ up yet that's not the end of me
But it's not gonna be all right you'll see, you’ll see!
I've got a funny feelin’ we’re all born to lose
And I've got a funny feelin’ that this life ain’t worth livin’ through

Cheer UP!

Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where Ive become so numb

Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

Now that I know what Im without
You cant just leave me
Breathe into me and {make me real}
Bring me
To life

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

{Bring me to life}
[Ive been living a lie..Theres nothing inside]
{Bring me to life}

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

[All of this I, I cant believe I couldnt see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me]

Ive been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything

[Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul]
{Dont let me die here}(It most be something wrong)
Bring me to life

-CHORUS-
[wake me up] Wake me up inside
[I cant wake up] Wake me up inside
[Save me] Call my name and save me from the dark
[Wake me up] Bid my blood to run
[I cant wake up] Before I come undone
[Save me] Save me from the nothing Ive become

Bring me to life
[Ive been living a lie.. Theres nothing inside]
Bring me to life

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

Another day in this broke down place
The towers grow and the skies are slowly replaced
With the cold gray structures that lay to waste
Everything that stands in the way
Stare at the ground as I walk on by
You make me sick and I hate what I feel inside
As I lobby for acceptance, you know I've tried
Another LIFE for you to nullify
I'm weak inside because I see the shape of things to come
I'm weak inside because I don't change what's begun
I'm weak inside because I hate what I've become
I'm feeling empty as I struggle with my thoughts each day
Just a drone who contributes to his own decay
An apathist who's sweat and blood grease the wheels for pay
Just a whore for the puppeteer to whom I obey
And nothing changes...No nothing changed today
I close my eyes and keep my mouth shut
Why am I afraid to stand up and knock them down
When I've been betrayed
You've been conditioned to accept everything they say
So I walk on but I start to stumble
Through the ruins of a life that's troubled
By the expectations I'm conditioned to struggle for
My possessions leave me self-absorbed
So many bombs I've left unblown
The streets are crowded and I feel so all alone
Stacking bricks that to this day remain unthrown
Yet I'm the one to cast the first stone

Against All Authority - I'm Weak Inside

She don't wander in... don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here... don't wander in here...

The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs

She don't wander in... don't wander in here, she...
She don't wander in here...

I will walk... with my hands bound
I will walk... with my face blood
I will walk... with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone... yeah...

After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go... with my hands bound
I will walk... with my face blood
I will walk... with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone

I don't show... I don't share...
I don't need, yeah... What you have to give...

Oooh, I will walk... with my hands bound
I will walk... with my face blood
I will walk... with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden... oh...

I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...

I don't know... I don't care
I don't need, yeah... need to live... yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...
Uh huh huh...

(jon- thought i would give you MANY options )

Pearl Jam-Garden

I'm an expert on her cause I see her everyday
She's got one of those bedrooms you can see from the freeway
I know her brothers, her cousins and her Dad
Would not appreciate me getting on those
Not from the same neighborhood,
Her brothers scare me but their sister looks so good

Sandra, I know, huh? You gotta' go home to
Make dinner and clean up and that sucks. I know, huh?
Sandra, I know, huh? You gotta' go home to
Fill up the pinnate for you cousin's quincenera

And when we dance, the snare drum comes out of nowhere
But we're together, and they're playing our song
'Cause when she calls, I know I just gotta' go there
And when I get her in the mood, the tuba ruins the song

I know huh?/The Vandals

I lie awake on a long, dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

Me?I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
it just won't heal

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel like giving up

Me?I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels
and it just won't heal

The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
So I choose to fight
To fight

Creed-Weathered

Love this song!

okay, little reminder of the rules, and so, the point, to this thread ...

Its a song-based chain quizz ... so each song is linked to the one before it ...
Basically, if the last song before your post ends with the word 'song' as illustrated by the fact its put in bold text, then your song must include the word 'song', which you'll put in itallic ...

o that last one doesnt work ... However, me might as well, i dunno ... choose ... so the next one must include the word 'fight' or 'song' ... if that suits everybody ...

Thanks Pab! Way to make me feel and look pretty foolish.

to them we're paper, numbers in a profit margin.
we fill their pockets & keep their bank accounts enlargin'.
no one controls them, they're on the inside of a structure built on bribes.
elitest inner-circle holding decisive power over a nation more corrupt by the hour.
money hungry business man, he's got a big plan.
he's making party donations because one hand washes the other
it's safer to be on the side of big brother
and we all know it's wrong
so here's another fuck you SONG.
the wealthy ruling class, they keep us occupied.
they fill our heads with promises, but we know they're lies.
to them it's a game, and we will always lose 'cause they keep changing the RULES.

Against All Authority - Another Fuck You Song

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me

We're cut adrift
But still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass right through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere

Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

Desperation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love...like a screaming flower
Love...dying every hour...love

You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire

Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot

Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool
Sweetheart...you're so cruel

-U2, so cruel.

You know I can be found,
Sitting home all alone,
If you can’t come around,
At least please telephone.
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.

Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said,
Please, let’s forget the past,
The future looks bright ahead,
Don’t be cruel to a heart that’s true.
I don’t want no other love,
Baby it’s just you I’m thinking of.

Don't be cruel/Elvis Presley

Sorry about the shag - Mindless Drug Hoover

Stayed out late, got in a state,
and I met you in a club
though we got on great in a noisy place,
you bored the trunks off me afterwards,
So thanks for showing me the photographs
of your holiday in greece
but now its getting very late,
and its time for me to leave


its not that you're not pretty
you really do look fine
but i know that I'll have to up and leave
as soon as I've drained my spine
so thanks for the cup of coffee
you really have been kind
and I'm sorry about the shag,
but I've changed me mind


I'm sorry if I've led you on
but I really should call a cab
I dont respect you now
so in the morning I'd just feel bad
I thought while I was out me tree
that we could get quite cosy
but now I'm starting to come round
and things dont look so rosy


Its not that you're not pretty
you really do look fine
but I know that I'll have to up and leave
as soon as I've drained my spine
so thanks for the cup of coffee
you really have been kind
and I'm sorry about the shag,
but I've changed me mind

yeah, and I'm sorry about the shag,
but ive changed me mind

and and I'm sorry about the shag,
but I've changed me mind

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind [3x]

Way out in the water
See it swimmin' ?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind [3x]

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Just by Radio Head

Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow

You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get you
And teach you how to get to purest hell

Ooh you do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, yourself, yourself.

Don’t tell yourself it’s okay.
Don’t tell yourself it’s not true.
I don’t want you to hurt me,
But I want to hurt you.
Why would I wanna hurt you,
When you make me cry so?
Why would I wanna do that?
It makes you want to die so.
Oh. oh.

Don’t tell yourself it’s okay.
Don’t tell yourself it’s so fine.
Why not what a fine day,
I’m so glad that you’re mine.
Why don’t you try more?
You’re ringing in my ears.
I’m going to try more.
Try to buy back my tears.

Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."

Oh. oh.

Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."
Stop telling me, "it’s okay."

Lemonheads- Dont Tell Yourself

I don't know I don't care, cause all we ever do is fight
And, I relize it's the end but that's all right.
I never understood.
Never tried to save the day.
I never got the chance.
Everything will be okay.


Everything is gonna be okay.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Well, I guess there's nothing left to say.

Okay/Riddlin' Kids
