I’m Alright Now - David Ford
The tide came in and nearly buried us here
We saw things like they wouldn't believe
You hear a lot about stories about love and romance
But I swear nothing quite like you and me
And every scar sits like a marker
Every line on the face is a small souvenir
Of all the places, be they good or be they bad
That we stopped into on the journey to here
So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
There were times when, yeah, alright I'll confess
I did things of which I am not proud
Everybody wades through the same colored shit
But it doesn't drag everyone down
And I was stupid, I was insensitive,
I was all the things I promised that I never would be
I've seen a lot of foolish behavior in my time
But I tell ya, they've got nothing on me
So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your heart's finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now
Another evening of sublime self-destruction
To the tune of a thousand cigarettes
Where every nail thats hammered into your spirit
Was unable to sink you just yet
And television is just some weak anaesthetic
To numb the senses til you're out like a light
Like all these drugs they seem to promise you the earth
and then they don't keep you warm in the night
So maybe I lost my sense of direction
But I'm alright now
Every man needs a little affection
So I'm alright now
Give me strength, give me something to believe in
And I'm alright now
Sing along when your heart's finished bleeding
Yeah, I'm alright now
It's like I cannot sleep for dreaming
This is everything that could have possibly hoped it would be
A lot of stories will end happy ever after
But I swear nothing quite like you and me
Waving Flags - British Sea Power
You are astronomical fans of alcohol
So welcome in
Are rising in the East and setting in the West
All waving flags
We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared
And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh
Are here of legal drinking age, on minimum wage
Well, welcome in
From across the Vistula, you've come so very far
All waving flags
We're all waving flags now
Waving flags
But don't be scared
And you, you will be here for a while
And it's all a joke
Oooh, it's all a joke
Ooooooh
Here is my pride
here is my life
It just tastes good
Especially tonight
(Oh welcome in)
Oh welcome in, we are Barbarians
Oh welcome in, cross the ...
Oh we can fail, ... against the sea
No we won't fail, ... against the sea
So walk away
Youth Of Today - Amy MacDonald
Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you're just some incapable figure
Thinking you're bigger than me, but you're not
Yet you don't know a thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all
And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But it's just your one sided feelings
They keep getting in my way
And you don't know a single thing about the youth of today
Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all
And you say,
"My children weren't the same"
"My children's children they're the ones to blame"
And you say,
"In my day we were better behaved"
But it's not your day no more...
And we are the youth of today
Change our hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We'll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don't care what you have to say at all
Elvis Ain’t Dead - Scouting For Girls
When I was young
I never knew
what this thing called love
could do to you
but since you been gone
and I've been on my own
I've been feeling quite peculiar
but I'll get by without your smile
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
and Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
Oh
Since you been gone
I can do what I like
but it doesn't mean a lot to me
I'm all shook up
and I'm lonesome tonight
I think I need a lot of lobotomy
but I'll get by without your smile
I'll get through without you
But I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
You
Me
Maybe we were never meant to be
Maybe we were never meant to be
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
cause I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
and you're coming back to me I know
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
yes I heard him on the radio
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Elvis isn't dead
Me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
I wish it was me you chose
cause Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
and Elvis ain't dead
and you're coming back
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
And Elvis ain't dead
Elvis has left the building
Thank you and good night

Marmalade Fires - Mum
We throw our loupes, our little phone
Our lovely shorts
Oh marmalade fires
We throw our folds, our pots and pans
Our dirty planks
Oh marmalade fires
We throw our wardrobe and cleanse out
Marmalade fires
We throw our house, our round blue skies
Our pretty hills
Oh marmalade fires
We throw our wardrobe and cleanse out
Marmalade fires
We throw our bowls, our friendly tools
Assist us here
Oh marmalade fires
We throw our wardrobe and cleanse out
Marmalade fires
We throw our wardrobe and cleanse out
Marmalade fires
We throw our wardrobe and cleanse out
Marmalade fires
Have I Been A Fool - Jack Penate
We made amends but nothings mended
As what I gave can not be mended
I led you on but leadings wrong
I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leadings wrong
A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is
Have I been a fool? Just say,say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say
You made a mountain of a molehill
Well that's what I will tell myself still
I led you on and leadings wrong
I made a meal of it and stumbled
We both knew that my cookie crumbled
I led you on but leading's wrong
A kiss is just a kiss
I think that's what fools say
But that is what this is
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
I've been told I'm cruel
Due to what I do
I've been told I'm cruel
To you
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say, say, say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Have I been a fool? Just say
Somebody’s Me - Enrique Iglesias
You, do you remember me?,
Like, I remember you?
Do you spend your life, going back in your mind to that time?,
Cause I, I walk the streets alone,
I hate being on my own, and everyone can see that,
I really fell, and I'm going through hell.
Thinking about you with somebody else.
Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you.
Somebody dreams about you every single night.
Somebody cant breathe, without you it's lonely.
Somebody hopes that one day you will see, that somebody's me.
That somebody's me. yeaa...
How, how did we go wrong?
It was so good, and now it's gone,
And I pray at night, that our path's soon will cross.
What we had, isn't lost.
Cause you are always right here in my thoughts..
Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you.
Somebody dreams about you every single night.
Somebody can't breathe, without you it's lonely.
Somebody hopes that someday you will see,
That somebody's me. Oh yeah...
You will always be in my life, even if im not in your life.
Cause you're in my memory...
You, when you remember me?...
And before you set me free, oh listen please...
Somebody wants you,
Somebody needs you.
Somebody dreams about you every single night.
Somebody cant breathe, without you it's lonely.
Somebody hopes that someday you will see, that somebody's me.
That somebody's me.
Somebody's me...
That somebody's me...
That somebody's me...
Oh yeah...
Its The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year - Andy Williams
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago
It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
My Friends - Stereophonics

The Night Starts Here - Stars
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The pleasure part, the afterthought, the missing stone in the graveyard
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to become a man
The dust at dawn is rained upon, attaches itself to everyone
No one is spared, no one is clean
It travels places you've never been or seen before
The night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out "Please come back to me"
You name your child after your fear, and tell them "I have brought you here"
The scary part, the aftershock, the moment it takes to fall apart
The time we have, the task at hand, the love it takes to destroy a man
The ecstasy, the being free, the big black cloud over you and me
And after that, the upwards fall, and were we angels after all?
I don't know, I don't know...
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
The night starts here, the night starts here, forget your name, forget your fear
You drop a coin into the sea, and shout out "Please come back to me"
You name your child after your fear, and tell them "I have brought you here"
The night starts here...
Tomorrow Tonight - Jesse Malin
I was the kid in that picture
Lost in the green grass
Gimme a scene on the silver screen
Buy me a beer or a love supreme
Happy the man in the promise land
Hey Rudy, don't you know
I fell in love and made the payments
I pledged allegiance to a lie
Gimme a page out of history
Stuck in a town called Willoughby
What kind of love are you dreaming of?
Hey Rudy, don't you know
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your Sunday suit, tonight
Well i must confess
Don't care about tomorrow
Tonight
I sold my soul to the Devil
I had it all and got bored
Give me a ride on the old cyclone
Count me in like Dee Dee ramone
Staying alive when you're 25
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your Sunday suit, tonight
Well i must confess
Don't care about tomorrow
Tonight
It happens all the time, just like summertime
It happens all the time, in my state of mind
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your shark skin suit, tonight
Well I must confess
Don't care about tomorrow
Tonight
Lost in the green grass
Gimme a scene on the silver screen
Buy me a beer or a love supreme
Happy the man in the promise land
Hey Rudy, don't you know
I fell in love and made the payments
I pledged allegiance to a lie
Gimme a page out of history
Stuck in a town called Willoughby
What kind of love are you dreaming of?
Hey Rudy, don't you know
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your Sunday suit, tonight
Well i must confess
Don't care about tomorrow
Tonight
I sold my soul to the Devil
I had it all and got bored
Give me a ride on the old cyclone
Count me in like Dee Dee ramone
Staying alive when you're 25
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your Sunday suit, tonight
Well i must confess
Don't care about tomorrow
Tonight
It happens all the time, just like summertime
It happens all the time, in my state of mind
When you find the truth
You won't care about tomorrow
In your shark skin suit, tonight
Well I must confess
Don't care about tomorrow

No I In Threesome - Interpol
Through the storms and the light
Baby, you stood by my side
And life is wine
But there are days in this life
When you see the teeth marks of time
Two lovers divide
Sound meets sound, babe
The echoes the surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow?
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So, just let us be free
And baby tonight
I see your lips are on fire
And life is wine
Now the windows are open the moon is so bright
There's no one can tell us what love brings, you and I
Sound meets sound, babe
The echoes they surround
And know that we need is one thing
Now what is there to allow
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be free, tonight
Through the storms and the light
Baby you stood by my side
And life is wine
You feel the sweet breath of time
It's whispering, its truth not mine
There's no I in threesome
And I am all for it
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
And feathers bend like trees in the moonlight
Babe, it's time we give something new a try
Oh, alone we may fight
So just let us be free tonight
Manchasm - Future Of The Left
Mark Foley was right
there are no ghosts in this town
there is no reason to fear
there are no obstacles here
Mark Foley was right
there are no barriers for medicine
Mark Foley was right
there are no barriers for shame
audience please!
every minute matters!
all he ever wanted was a detonator!
Colin is a pussy
a very pretty pussy
Colin is a pussy
a very pretty pussycat
(can't get the last bit, just few words:
...
hold on .. and hate
felt him slip down the back of my leg
found his head upon the castanettes
made him mad at the silence
made him sick with the constant call
heard him sigh in the dead of the night
it's times like these that make me wish I'd fail
We’ll Live And Die In These Towns - The Enemy
You spend your time in smokey rooms
where haggled old women
with cheap perfume say
it never happens for people
like us you know
well nothing ever happened on it`s own
and well the toilets smell of desperation
the streets all echo of aggregation
tand you wonder
why you cant get no sleep
when you`ve got nothing to do,
and you`ve had nothing to eat
your life`s slipping
and sliding right out of view
and there`s absolutely nothing
that you can do well
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
dirty dishes from a tv meal
that went cold from the wind
throuh a smashed up window
you cant go out if anybody calls ya
cos you cant have a bath
when there`s no hot water
and your friends are out
on the town again
and you ask yourself if it will ever end
and it`s all too much for your head to take
just a matter of time
before you break, well
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
now...
now...
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now
we`ll live and die,
we`lllive and die in these towns
don`t let it drag you down
don`t let it drag you down now

Over The Rainbow - Connie Talbot
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Veni Vidi Vici - Black Lips
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the greatest of them all
My man Muhammad, Boy Jesus too
Who's messiah be good for you?

Cause I came and I saw

All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll
Who's the greatest of them all
My man Muhammad, Boy Jesus too
Who's messiah be good for you?
Cause I came I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll
People look towards Mecca's way
Sistine Cahpel people pray
It don't matter what you do
Holy World War will come for you
Cause I came and I saw
I conquered all
All ya'll, all ya'll, all ya'll

A song is just a game Im getting good at cheating at
You talk yes you talk a good game
