You know what I mean :)
Hoobastank - Hello Again
I dream
That someday we'll be able to
Look back on this to...gether
And say it was
For the best and that it made us stronger today
Stronger today


There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say
"We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say "hello again"

I'm so
Afraid that if I wait too long
You'll never look in
My eyes again
With a look
That gave me strength and gave me hope
And made me feel
I've inspired

There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say
"We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say "hello again"

Hello again
Hello again, yeah...
Hello again, yeah-e-eah

There's much more for us to see
A brand new day for you and me
And with confidence I say
"We're better than ever"
And I don't know where this will lead
But in my life you need to be
Cause I need to say "hello again"

Slight Return -The bluetones.
(Expecting To Fly 1996)

Where did you go?
When things went wrong for you,
When the knives came out for you.

Where did you go?
All you needed was a friend,
You just had to ask and then.....

Chorus

You don't have to have the solution
You've got to understand the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle,
All this will fade away.
So i'm going home,
I'm coming home.

What did you learn?
Locked away all on your own,
Chance and your head all blown.

What did you learn?
It was unfortunate,
You missed your chance to find out that.

Chorus

You don't have to have the solution,
You've got to understand the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle.
All this will fade away.
So i'm coming home ..
I'm coming home ..
I'm coming home .. ..
But just for a short while.
 
How very true....

[spunge] - Jump On Demand
So you’re sat there in first class
Well I’m not gonna kiss your ass
Coz I don’t care
Outside you may be smartly dressed
Inside you’re just like all the rest so
I don’t care

I’m not the kinda guy who likes to go to work it’s just I need the money
Oh I don’t know why you find that so funny
Maybe I don’t look my best
At least I fit in with the rest so
I don’t care

(Chorus)
Everybody, jump, jump jump
Can’t understand it, when people demand it
Jump, jump, jump
Can’t understand it when people demand it
Why is it you seem to be looking down your nose at me?
Maybe we should take the time to prove your bloods red like mine

Remember when you’re being rude
That we’re the ones that cook your food
So just take care.
Coz I know it might offend
If we were to go and send
Your chicken ala pubic hair

You’re the ones that sit there
You just sit there and get fatter and yet
We’re the ones that don’t really matter
All I say is just beware
Coz we’re the ones that put you there and
We don’t care.

(Chorus)

Good Charlotte
Emotionless

Hey Dad,
I'm Writing to you
not to tell you that I still hate you
Just to ask you how you feel
and how we fell apart
and how this fell apart

Are you happy out there in this great wide world
Do you think about your sons,
Do you miss your little girl
When you lay your head down
How do you sleep at night
Do you even wonder if were all right?

But we're all right,
We're all right

Its been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke our children for life
Its not okay,
but we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how survive
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm Still alive

The days I spent
so cold, so hungry,
Were full of hate,
I was so angry
The scars run deep inside this tatooed body,
Theres things I'll take to my grave,
But I'm Okay, I'm Okay.

Its been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke our children for life
Its not okay,
but we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine,
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm Still alive, Yea I'm still alive

And sometimes,
I forgive,
Yeah, and this time,
I'll admit,
That i miss you,
Said I miss you

Its been a long hard road without you by my side
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried
You broke my mother's heart
You broke our children for life
Its not okay,
but we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those were just a long lost memory of mine,
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive

And sometimes,
I forgive,
and this time,
I'll admit,
That I miss you, I miss you,
Hey Dad.
 
David Bowie - Magic Dance.

You remind me of the babe
What babe? baby with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe

I saw my baby, crying hard as babe could cry
What could I do
My baby's love had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew

What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dogs' tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby, make him free

I saw my baby, trying hard as babe could try
What could I do
My baby's fun had gone
And left my baby blue
Nobody knew

What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog's tails
Thunder or lightning
Then baby said
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that magic jump on me

Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Dance magic, dance (dance magic, dance)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Jump magic, jump (jump magic, jump)
Put that baby spell on me (ooh)

You remind me of the babe
What babe? the babe with the power
What power? power of voodoo
Who do? you do
Do what? remind me of the babe

Dance magic, dance, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic, dance magic, ooh ooh ooh
Dance magic

What kind of magic spell to use
Slime and snails
Or puppy dog tails
Thunder or lightning
Something frightening

Dance magic, dance
Dance magic, dance
Put that baby spell on me
Jump magic, jump
Jump magic, jump
Put that magic jump on me
Slap that baby make him free

The Used - Buried Myself Alive

You almost always pick the best times,
to drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm,
red flashing lights.
Well this time I'm not going to watch myself die.
I think I made it a game to play your game,
and let myself cry.
I buried myself alive on the inside,
so I could shut you out,
and let you go away for a long time.

I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
And if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.

I think the chain broke away,
and I felt it the day that I had my own time.
I took advantage of myself and felt fine,
but it was worth the night,
I caught an early flight and I made it home.

I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that (2X)

with my foot on your neck,
I finally have you,
right where I want you (4X)

I guess it's ok I puked the day away.
I guess it's better you trapped yourself in your own way.
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that (2X)
and if you want me back,
you're gonna have to ask.
nicer than that
nicer in a fuckin way
NICER!!
NICER!!
 
Soul Asylum - Runaway Train

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now,
I'm in too deep; there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Can you help me remember how to smile?
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded?
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just a-drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

And everything seems cut and dried,
Day and night, earth and sky,
Somehow I just don't believe it

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughing at the rain
A little out of touch, a little insane
It's just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train, never going back
Wrong way on a one-way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train, never coming back
Runaway train, tearing up the track
Runaway train, burning in my veins
I run away but it always seems the same
 
Summit simple and sweet.....just like me :D

OASIS - (Probably) All In The Mind
Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you half the world if that's enough

Let me take you down
Let me hear you smile
Let me rest my head here for a while

In the end we'll leave it all behind
Because the life I think I'm trying to find
Is probably all in the mind

Show me who you are
I'll show you what you love
I'll give you all the world if that's enough
 
Oasis - Born on a Different Cloud

Born On A Different Cloud
Born on a different cloud
from the ones that have burst round town
It's no surprise to me
that yer classless, clever and free...

Loaded just like the gun
You're the hero that's still unsung
Living on borrowed time
You're my sun and you're gonna shine

Talking to myself again
This time I think I'm getting through
It's funny how you think
It's funny when you do

Lonely soul
Busy working overtime
Nothing ever gets done
Specially when your hands are tied

Lonely soul
Baking up your mother's pride
Nothing ever gets done
Not until your war's won
 
Cold and misty morning, I heard a warning borne in the air
About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there.

Suffering in silence, they've all been betrayed.
They hurt them and they beat them, in a terrible way,
Praying for survival at the end of the day.
There is no compassion for those who stay.
I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there.

There must be someone who can set them free:
To take their sorrow from this odyssey
To help the helpless and the refugee
To protect what's left of humanity.
Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see.

I'll be there
I'll be there
I will be there;
To heal their sorrow
To beg and borrow
Fight tommorow.

No Doubt - Don't Speak

You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always

I really feel
I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real,
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts

Our memories
They can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening

As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

CHORUS

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me
I can see us dying ... are we?

CHORUS
 
Alan Parson's Project said:
If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

CHORUS:
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

CHORUS

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

Lead Vocal: Lenny Zakatek

If I had a mind to
I wouldn't want to think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldn't want to talk to you

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldn't need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldn't need no alibi

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Back on the bottom line
Diggin' for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
I'd cover anything that showed

I don't care
What you do
I wouldn't want to be like you

Tasty. Made me think of this one.


Gram Parsons said:
Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlour
And I'll tell you how it all went down
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And I remember something that you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night half past two
The switchman waved his lantern goodbye and good day as we
Went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do
Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with those waves of grain
And I saw my devil, and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from Cheyenne to Tennessee

The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And headed out for some desert town
Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town
And I remember something that you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
And they all lead me straight back home to you
Twenty thousand roads I went down down down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Yo pretty ladies around the world
Got a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your mamma too
cause we´re about to throw down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don´t care
Gilde by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance quick mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway
Word up it´s the code word
No matter where you say it you know that you´ll be heard

Now all you sucker DJ´s who think you´re fly
There´s got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on thoso airs and you act real cool
Got to realise that you´re acting like fools
If there´s music we can use it
You´re free to dance
We don´t have the time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Word up everybody says
When you hear the call you´ve got to get it underway

Dial L for love, Dial L for love, Dial L for love
W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP, W.O.R.D. UP

All you sucker DJ´s who think you´re fly
There has got to be a reason and we know the reason why
Why you put on those airs and you act real cool
But you got to realise that you´re acting like fools
Give us music we can use it, we can dance
We dont have no time for psychological romance
No romance, no romance, no romance for me mamma
Come on baby tell me what´s the word

Oasis - Some Might Say

Some might say that sunshine follows thunder
Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine
Some might say that we should never ponder
On our thoughts today cos they will sway over time

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

Some might say they don't believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell
Some might say you get what you've been given
If you don't get yours I won't get mine as well

Some might say we will find a brighter day
Some might say we will find a brighter day

Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
Cos she's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend
 
Oasis - Hello

I don't feel as if I know you
You take up all my time
The days are long and the nights will throw you away

'Cuz the sun don't shine
Nobody ever mentions the weather
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
'Cuz the years are falling by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
Till the life I knew comes to my house and says

Hello

There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
I've got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the shit from your shoes

Nobody ever mentions whoever
Can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember
That life is a game we play

We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away
And it's never gonna be the same
'Cuz the years are falling by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same

Till the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello
