Smile Empty Soul - Silhouettes

 
Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
They won't let me go the wrong way
My mother taught me all the fables, told me how
In the end all the sinners have to pay
But...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

He worked so hard his bones are breaking
He wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
His good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
I don't ever want to end up like he did
And...

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

When I have kids
I won't put any chains on their wrists, I won't
I'll tell them this
There's nothing in this world that you can't be if you want it enough

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
And I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

I don't wanna live like my mother
I don't wanna let fear rule my life
I don't wanna live like my father
I don't wanna give up before I die

Killing Joke - Love Like Blood

 
We must play our lives like soldiers in the field
The life is short, I'm running faster all the time
Strength and beauty destined to decay
So cut the rose in full bloom

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

Everyday through all frustration and despair
Love and hate fight with burning hearts
'Til legends live and man is god again
And self-preservation rules the day no more

We must dream of promised lands and fields
That never fade in season
As we move towards no end, we learn to die
Red tears are shed on grey

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood

'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood
'Til the fearless come and the act is done
A love like blood, a love like blood 

 

New Order - True Faith

 
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A certain sense of liberty
I don't care, 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A certain sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun...

On the morning sun...
On the morning sun...
On the morning sun...
On the morning sun...
On the morning sun...
On the morning sun... 

 

Survivor - Burning Heart

 
Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

In the warrior's code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Knows it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

Rue Dieu (Paris 10e)


 

Gims ft. Sia - Je Te Pardonne (Up!)

 
Tu m'as demandé pardon, j't'ai repoussée (repoussée)
J'voulais qu'tu comprennes que je souffrais (je souffrais)
Mais t'as laissé ton odeur sur les draps (sur les draps)
J'donnerai tout pour être dans tes bras (dans tes bras)

Et j'ai tenté d'te haïr mais la colère est partie
Les bons souvenirs l'emportent sur la haine et la rancœur

I forgive you, you know not what you have done
Ohh I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on
Ohh I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong
Ohh I, and I love you, always in my heart you'll live on
You'll live on
You'll live on

On se croise sans se lancer un regard (un regard)
Je n'sais quoi dire quand on m'fait la remarque (la remarque)
Notre entourage tente de nous raisonner (raisonner)
Je pense qu'il est temps de se retrouver (retrouver)

Et j'ai tenté d'te haïr mais la colère est partie
Les bons souvenirs l'emportent sur la haine et la rancœur

I forgive you, you know not what you have done
Ohh I, I forgive you, now it's time for me to move on
Ohh I, I forgive you, you did not see right from wrong
Ohh I, and I love you, always in my heart you'll live on
You'll live on
You'll live on 


Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

 
Jessie is a friend,
Yeah, I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed
It ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine

And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

I'll play along with the charade
That doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot

'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it!
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman...
Where can I find a woman like that?

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?

Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?

Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl 

 

Jefferson Starship - It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)

 
Listen
We don't call the shots here
We don't make the rules
We take what we get
Get what we can

That's learning the hard way
Here on the streets
You can't build a dream
Without a plan

(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win
We play for keeps

It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

The odds are against us
They say we don't stand a chance
Well, there's no givin' up
No givin' in

When push comes to shove
You got to fight
For what you love
You do what you must
Do what you can

(Passion speaks)
Let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps)
They play to win
We play for keeps

It's not over 'til it's over
(It's not over)
It's not over 'til we get it right

It's not over 'til it's over
(Don't go givin' in)
It's not over 'til we get it right
Get it

The odds are against us
To know we still stand a chance
There's no givin' up
No givin' in

It's not over
It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

It's not over 'til it's over
It's not over 'til we get it right

Cité Riverin (Paris 10e)


 

Toto - Stop Loving You

 
Reflections in my mind
Thoughts I can't define
My heart is racing and the night goes on

I can almost hear a laugh
Coming from your photograph
Funny how a look can share a thousand meanings

Well-intended lies
Contemplating alibis
Is it really you or is it me I'm blaming?

A distant memory
Flashes over me
Even though you're gone I feel you deep inside

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl

There's a window in the heart
I've tried to look through from the start
You're never really sure what someone else is thinking

Someone's broken something new
Another altered point of view
Just a certain someone's conscience playing

I held it in my hand
I did not understand
What lives inside the wind that cries her name

Trying to catch a shooting star
What seems so close can't be that far
I'm living in a dream that's never ending

Dance beneath the light with that look in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl

Dancing with that look that's in your eyes

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you girl

I can't stop loving you
Time passes quickly and chances are few
I won't stop 'til I'm through loving you

Loving you

REO Speedwagon - Can't Fight This Feeling

 
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find

And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore 


 

Boston - Don't Look Back

 
Don't look back (ooh, a new day is breakin')
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon (ooh, and I'm awakin' now)
Oh, I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin' (ooh, the clouds are breakin')
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong, oh, yes, I can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Ooh, far away and left behind, left behind

Oh, the sun is shinin' and I'm on that road

Don't look back (ooh, a new day is breakin')
Oh, it's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind (ooh, where I get taken)
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around, oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Oh, far away and left behind

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back 

 

Electric Light Orchestra - Shine A Little Love

 
Although the things you've done, I wouldn't criticize
I guess you had your way
You see, I gotta make you understand

I know it sounds a foolish thing to say
But it don't matter, baby
'Cause today's another day

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Remember, tonight we're gonna run 'til dawn
Remember, tonight we're gonna say
We'll never stop, we got a good thing goin' on

I know you've heard it all before
But I really need you, darlin'
Every day, I need you more

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
Hu, hu, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu-ha, hu

It's been a year now and it's gettin' so much better
Came home without a word
Though everybody said you'll soon forget her

They couldn't see and they just didn't understand
And lookin' in the mirror
There were fools at either hand

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

Can you understand (yes, I understand)
Can you feel it's right (I know it is)
Will you be the same (I'll do it all again)
Hu-ah-aah-aah-aah-aah-hu-aah, hu

How many days had I been waitin' there to tell you
I really can't believe
We're walkin' out into the world tonight

We'll do it all again until the break of light
And the feeling in your heart
Will soon be shinin' in your eyes

You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine on me)
You shine a little love on my life (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see

You shine a little love on my life (Shine)
You shine a little love on my life (E.L.O.)
You shine a little love on my life
And let me see 

 

3 Doors Down - Away From The Sun

 
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done?
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the World
Can anyone tell where I am?

'Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the Sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the Sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here?
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

'Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the Sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the Sun again
Away from the Sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the Sun again
Oh, no
Yeah
Oh, no

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the Sun
That shines to light the way for me

'Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Away from the Sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the Sun again
Away from the Sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the Sun again

Oh, no
Yeah
I'm gone 

 

The Pusher - Blinded By The Dark (acoustic version)

 
For so long, I've been searching for things to come and
Save us now, but we have fallen and we can't get out

Love went wrong, it drove us far away from what we are and
Words or chords, cannot describe this is what we've become

Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark
I've been trying to say this to you
That things can fall apart, and the end can start, now

Heart to heart, they might be pumping but the veins are dry and
Though we're not apart
I cannot seem to reach your open hand and
We're fighting fighting lying and lying

We keep running but we're standing still

Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark
I've been trying to say this to you
That things can fall apart, and the end can start tonight, and we're

Fighting fighting
Lying and lying

All this running and running has got me shattered and lonely
Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark tonight
Heart, oh, heart, you keep on pumping but the veins are dry

And we're blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark
I've been trying to say this to you
Things can fall apart, and the end can start, tonight, and we're

Fighting and we're lying

All this running and running has got me shattered and lonely
Blinded by the dark, blinded by the dark tonight

Heart, my sweet heart, you might be pumping but my veins are dry

G-Eazy & Post Malone - I Gave You Everything (Enkay47 cover)

 
When I first saw you, I thought you were perfect
Now you are gone, I deserve it
I'm feeling awful and worthless
Threw what you bought in the furnace
Saw that you called
There's no service
Yeah I look calm on the surface
But look what underneath
You were the only one that I ever loved
The only one that I'd ever want
In my life, I'd never run away
You were the only one that I ever loved
The only one that I'd ever trust
With my life and all I wanna say
Is that I'm sorry for the way I treated you
I was conceited
I no longer needed you
I said goodbye and you said "I believe in you"
I guess I'm blind 'cause I didn't see the truth
You gave me everything I ever wanted
I guess I just didn't want it at the time
I really thought that my life would be better if you were gone
I'm sorry I'm selfish

I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I dealt with suicidal thoughts for a minute
It's hard to admit it but you pulled me out the dark and committed yourself to me and my music
No matter what, nobody told you
Your family and friends disowned you
They tried to tell you I'm a waste of time
I guess that they were right
'Cause everything they said about me was true
I know that I knew it deep down and I see now that I should've fuckin' told you the truth
I should've told you that you don't wanna be with somebody like me
I'll take everything you have
You don't wanna be with somebody like me
I'll take everything you have
You said

I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had
I gave you everything
Everything
I gave you everything I had

Louis le Grand

 


Kaleo - Backbone

 
Hold the line, yeah
Do you fight for pride or glory?
Do you hold your scars close to your heart?
Fall behind, yeah
Who will live to tell your story?
You were taught to leave no man behind

I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Now you waste your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else

Hold your fire, yeah
Brave young men will fall before they
Ever get to watch their young ones grow
Hear me now, yeah
Carry all my sins and I will
Learn to love the flag and nothing more

Oh, I don't know where you have gone
You used to be the heart of this town
Wasted all your tears on someone else
I don't know where you are now
You used to have a heart of gold
Only trust yourself and no one else
Oh, no one else

Oh, oh...
You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?

You've got your back against the wall
Say, where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother?
Where's your backbone, brother? 

 

Black Label Society - Scars

 
Say your peace, for I'll be on my way
One last look, nothing left to say
As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day

For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend

When lies become the truth
Well, you've got your beliefs
No burdens on your mind
They're buried beneath your feet

As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day

For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend

As I turn my back, to walk away
I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day

For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend

For every sky that shines
Shall meet the pouring rain
For my will shall never break though it may bend
Like the scars that heal yet never mend 

 

Foy Vance - Burden

 
Let me carry your burden
If something’s not right I will let you know
Like the paint that’s drying on a heart that’s broke
Let me carry your burden

Get you back on a high when you’re feeling low
When the weight’s too heavy but you won’t let go

Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
So let me carry your burden
Let me carry your burden

When your mouth’s on fire but your mind is cold
And you’re fanning flames that won’t keep you warm

Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time
Let me carry your burden, O brother mine
Let me carry your burden

Come tomorrow you’ll be right as rain
It’ll quench your fire
Wash away your stains

Come to me my brother and I will sit with you awhile
Pretty soon I’ll see you smile
And you know you will
No matter how much you are hurting right now
You know that everything will change in time

Oh I just might see it in another light
Got no dog here in the fight
I could carry your burden
O brother mine 

 

Ollie Wride & Sunglasses Kid - Stranger Love

 
I ain't talking forever
Just need some time
Cause I'm fresh out of courage
To speak my mind
I can see a high wind blowing
Across our ventured plain
Has the last straw broken?
Do you still feel the same?

You and I both got
Something bigger than the fall
A stranger love, stranger love
And we tear out every page
Then leave nothing left to waste
A stranger love, stranger love
Not in your nature
To be vacant
It don't matter who's right
Just thought you should know
That you can call it what you like
It's stranger love, stranger love

I never killed the feeling
Like the one we've had
When I said I would be there
My work just held me back
So we go through the motion
You swear on our lives
No one else can disarm me
No one else has your light

You and I both got
Something bigger than the fall
A stranger love, stranger love
And we tear out every page
Then leave nothing left to waste
A stranger love, stranger love
You made me feel like
I count for something
It's only after you realise
How faith gets blinded
You can call it what you like
It's stranger love

I could be wrong about this, but maybe I'm right
Let our troubles fade out into the night, to the night

You and I both got
Something bigger than the fall
A stranger love, stranger love
And we tear out every page
Then leave nothing left to waste
A stranger love, stranger love
Not in your nature
To be vacant
It don't matter who's right
Just thought you should know
That you can call it what you like
It's stranger love, stranger love

We got a stranger love
We got a stranger love
We got a
Stranger love

I ain't talking forever
Just need some time

 

Kingdom Of Heaven - Vide Cor Meum

 
E pensando di lei
 
Mi sopragiunse uno soave sonno
 
Ego dominus tuusVide cor tuumE d'esto core ardendoCor tuum(Lei paventosa)Umilmente pasceaAppreso gir lo ne vedea piangendo
 
La letizia si convertiaIn amarissimo pianto
 
Io sono in paceCor meumIo sono in paceVide cor meum
