Depeche Mode - A Question Of Lust

  

Fragile, like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me, I'd never willingly do you harm
Apologies are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child, you make me smile when you care for me
And you know

It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence is still important for us though
(We realise)
It's easy to make the stupid mistake of letting go
(Do you know what I mean?)
My weaknesses, you know each and every one
(It frightens me)
But I need to drink more than you seem to think before I'm anyone's
And you know

It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye when I'm on my own
But you know that I'd rather be home

It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together
It's a question of lust, it's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Chris de Burgh - Crying And Laughing (Up!)

  

Searchlights, rain on the road,
Waiting for the airport limousine,
Your time in this foreign land,
Is nearly over, I'll never forget how

Last night, after he called,
You held me like you'd never let me go,
But your eyes are happy now,
And you are beautiful, you're ready to leave me,
Homeward, back to your world,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way;

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
When you go away...
Long ride, holding her hand,
Looking all the words we cannot speak,
One mile to the boulevard,
And the aeroplane that's waiting to take you
Homeward, back to your land,
Back to the one who is there,
Go now, but go in love,
For it's the only way;

And you'll be crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
For the love we have,
But you must go,
Crying, laughing,
Half a world away,
You'll be crying, laughing,
Don't forget me love,
When you go away... 

Sandra Lauer Cretu - Hiroshima (Wishful Thinking cover)

 
Fly little bird to Hiroshima
On the way a load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode

Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!

There's a shadow of a man at Hiroshima,
Where he passed the moon.
In a wonderland at Hiroshima,
Where he died too soon
And the world remembers his face
Remembers the flame was

Hiroshima...

Fly little bird to Hiroshima
On the way a load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was

Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Hiroshima...

Hiroshima was the flame!
Know his face, we know his name!
We're remembering the place was here!

Shadow of a man at Hiroshima,
Where he passed the moon.
In a wonderland at Hiroshima
Where he died too soon
And the world remembers his name
Remembers the flame was

Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Hiroshima...

Hiroshima!
Hiroshima!

Oh...no no no!

Oh, no, don't do it!

Fly little bird to Hiroshima
On the way a load
Speak the magic word to Hiroshima
Let the sky explode

Fake - Another Brick (Duply Remix 2017 - Up!)

  

Where will I find you on the other side
of the tightrope writing about your fear,
as a visit with the exiled writers.
You survived all the burning fields
of dissidents in the East and arrived as the beauty,
into the gap with me.

Another brick is falling from the isle of you,
another brick is falling down, from the isle of you.

Stay under the lama in our grand parade,
it's not like Mardi Gras more like a passion,
not a revolution in your sign.
In the ashes of a knight the part was played,
a drama gripped in fright behind the curtain.
About those who stayed too long.

Another brick is falling from the isle of you,
another brick is falling down, from the isle of you.

Can you imagine, a flower,
with petals of steel and you as it's pistil, surrounded.
Kannst du dir vorstellen 

Paul Hardcastle - 19

  

In 1965, Vietnam seemed like
Just another foreign war
But it wasn't, it was
Different in many ways
As so were those
Who did the fighting
In World War II
The average age of the
Combat soldier was twenty-six

In Vietnam, he was nineteen
In Vietnam, he was nineteen
In Vietnam, he was nineteen
In Vietnam, he was nineteen
N-n-n-n-nineteen

The heaviest fighting
Of the past two weeks
Continued today twenty-five
Miles northwest of Saigon

I really wasn't sure
What was going on

N-n-n-n-nineteen, nineteen
N-nineteen, nineteen

In Vietnam, the combat soldier
Typically served a twelve month tour of duty
But was exposed to hostile fire almost everyday

N-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-nineteen

In Saigon, a US miltary spokesman
Said today, more than 720 troops
Were killed last week in
That sensitive border area
In all of South Vietnam
The enemy lost a total of
2,689 soldiers

All those who remember the war
They won't forget what they've seen
Destruction of men in their prime
Whose average age was nineteen

D-d-d-d-d-destruction
D-d-d-d-d-destruction

According to a Veteran's Administration study
Half of the Vietnam combat veterans suffered
From what psychiatrists call
Post traumatic stress disorder
Many vets complain of alienation, rage, or guilt
Some succumb to suicidal thoughts
Eight to ten years after coming home
Almost eight-hundred-thousand men
Are still fighting the Vietnam War

None of them received
A hero's welcome

Saigon, Saigon
S-s-s-s-s-Saigon
S-s-s-s-s-Saigon
Nineteen, s-s-s-s-Saigon
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
Vietnam, S-s-saigon
Vietnam, S-s-saigon
Vietnam, S-s-saigon
Vietnam, S-s-saigon 

State Of Mine - What Hurts The Most (Rascal Flatts cover❤️)

  

I can take the rain on the roof
Of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then
And just let 'em out

I'm not afraid to cry
Every once in a while
Even though goin' on with you gone
Still upsets me
There are days every now and again
I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most is being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you
Everywhere I go
But I'm doing it
It's hard to force that smile
When I see our old friends and I'm alone

Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed
Livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away
All the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most is being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do, ooh

Hey, yeah
What hurts the most was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' what could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seein' that lovin' you
And that's what I was trying to do, oh-oh 

Metallica - The Day That Never Comes (Up!)

  

Born to push you around
Better just stay down
You pull away
He hits the flesh
You hit the ground

Mouth so full of lies
Tend to black your eyes
Just keep them closed
Keep praying
Just keep waiting

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes, no
No, the sunshine never comes

Push you cross that line
Just stay down this time
Hide in yourself
Crawl in yourself
You'll have your time

God I'll make them pay
Take it back one day
I'll end this day
I'll splatter color on this gray

Waiting for the one
The day that never comes
When you stand up and feel the warmth
But the sunshine never comes

Love is a four letter word
And never spoken here
Love is a four letter word
Here in this prison

I suffer this no longer
I'll put an end to this, I swear
This, I swear
The sun will shine
This, I swear
This, I swear
This, I swear!

State Of Mine ft. Willy Blaze & Drew Jacobs - Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynyrd cover)

  

Mama told me when I was young
"Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You'll find a woman and you'll find love
And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

"And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

Oh, yes, I will

"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

"And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?"

"Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of simple man
Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can?"

Smash Into Pieces - ❤️Afterglow❤️

 
We all fall apart
Buried deep behind the smile
We all have scars
There is truth in our lies
'Cause the shadow's never
Hiding who we are

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

Wide awake
But caught in the blind
It's like we don't see what's right in front of our eyes

We're stuck in a game
Of playing pretend
We're left in the ashes
Again and again

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

Are we hoping for a miracle
Starting fires 'til we're burning out
Are we headed for the free fall

After all the smoke and mirrors
We are only saint and sinners
Waiting for Afterglow
Did we take a perfect heaven
Turn it into Armageddon
Waiting for Afterglow

In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
In the Afterglow
Waiting for Afterglow 

U2 - Song For Someone (❤️)

  

You got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I've been
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take

I was told I'd feel
Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

And I'm a long way
From your hill of Calvary
And I'm a long way
From where I was, where I need to be

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a kiss
I stole from your mouth
And there is a light
Don't let it go out 

The Fray - You Found Me

  

I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, "Where you been?"
He said, "Ask anything"
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by a telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
That never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who's ever known
Who I am
Who I'm not, and who I wanna be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

For early morning
The city breaks
And I've been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never send me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you? Where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why'd you have to wait?
Where were you? Where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, you found me

Why'd you have to wait
To find me? To find me?

Nickelback - If Today Was Your Last Day

  

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have?
(What if, what if?)
If today was your last day
(What if, what if?)
(If today was your last day)

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
(What if, what if?)

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday? (What if, what if?)
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (That you finally fall in love)
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes (Takes)
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothin' stand in your way (Way)
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you have? (What if, what if?)
And would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies? (What if, what if?)
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love? (What if, what if?)
If today was your last day

Eivør Pálsdóttir ft. Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson - Only Love (Upp!)

  

City lights fade into black
I watch them go
Out of my life, deep inside
I knew it from the start, I was always alone
By your side

Ooh, I heard that you, ooh
Once said, "Here's my heart
Put a bomb inside it"

On-on-on-only love
Only love can do this to you
On-on-on-only love
Only love can do this to you

Let it all go, it's for the best
There is nothing to say
Nothing except, "We were too young
And our hearts nearly burst"
But to find real love, you gotta lose it first

Ooh, I heard that you
Once said, "Here's my heart
Put a bomb inside it"

Casie Conroy - Ugh.. Lennie

  

I don't want to let you down,

But I surely don't wanna be

Anything other than what I am now,

And I say that regrettably.

 

So I'll listen for whatever you need,

Send me a feed

Through the radio

With a song we both know.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

Green eyes shoot ya a gaze,

Saying you could get anything,

Anything other than what you won't take,

Which has lately been everything.

 

So I'm here for whatever you want.

Send me a buzz

Through a fax machine

Just to mess with me,

Call it a fever dream.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

I'm a little too late,

A little too proud.

I'm maybe too good

To say it out loud.

I can't wait around

To settle on down with you.

 

And I could be wrong,

But if that's the case,

Let you be the one

Say it to my face.

I doubt it now

You'll ever come back this way.

 

Don't make me go,

I will not follow.

Follow where you lead,

Don't make me love you like that.

 

In the blue light I can see all that's coming.

In the dawn you'll be ready to go.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And the days keep going and I'll keep knowing,

In the end it's inevitable.

Yeah I know, I know

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

I'm a little too late,

A little too proud.

I'm maybe too good

To say it out loud.

Lennie, don't do it to me.

 

And I could be wrong,

But if that's the case,

Let you be the one

To say it to my face.

Lennie, don't do it to me.



HAEVN ft. Neco Novellas - Great Mother

  

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango

There's a fire on the horizon
I can't put it out
Do I walk away or fight it
I can't turn around
I've been seeking higher healing from above
Do I need to hide this feeling I don't know

Khanina mino wo sela
Khauna weno yako tsandza mbilo
Khauna weno wo sela
Yako tsana ye wene

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell

I'll give myself to the rain tonight
'Cause we just can't always blossom
Waking up in peace I'll find
That summer turns to fall
Great mother knows it all

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango

I can't hear you in the silence
Are you with me now?
In a sea of broken diamonds
Can you get me out?

Khanina mino wo sela
Khauna weno yako tsandza mbilo
Khauna weno wo sela
Yako tsana ye wene

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell

I'll give myself to the rain tonight
'Cause we just can't always blossom
Waking up in peace I'll find
That summer turns to fall
Great mother knows it all

Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa ya matilo ni mate
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango
(Great mother knows it all)
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo yango
Hiye yana mphula ya bassissa yo mbilo...

I'm waiting up for the rain tonight
To wash away my sorrow
Hear a voice from the other side
What great mother has to tell
Great mother knows it all

Greta Van Fleet - Saw You Stand

  

Anyone who ever loved could look at me
And know that I loved you
What a heart and what a beat, remembering
How much I loved you

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

In the end, I hope you know that I chose you
Because I loved you
And after all is said and done, the war is won
Because I loved you

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

I saw you stand
I saw you standing
When you took my hand
I saw you standing

I hope that you'll always know
Your light made the darkness glow
I pray you'll forever know
Loving you made me whole

I hope that you'll always know
Life with you made me whole

The Cure - Pictures Of You (Up!)

 

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures
Are all I can feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky

And you finally found all your courage to let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words

I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart

Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you



Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

  

When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed, our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed?
Get a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Is it something so good just can't function no more?

But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again


 

Dogstar - Joy

  

I'll see you on the other side of midnight
Where the answer's never quite so clear
Even I didn't know that I was leaving
But I was gone when my foot hit the floor

And if I flew through the open door
It's only 'cause I knew it was time to go
The wreckage that remains is just a dream
But it still lives inside of me

Yeah, you thought that we had something so good
Every morning, you would hold my head
Now and then, I think I'm going under
When the ghosts come home
