Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair

 
Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill in the deep forest green.
Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested brown.
Blankets and bedclothes the child of the mountain
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Without no seams nor needle work,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

On the side of a hill in the sprinkling of leaves.
Washes the grave with silvery tears.
A soldier cleans and polishes a gun.
Sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

Tell her to find me an acre of land:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
Between the salt water and the sea strands,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions.
Generals order their soldiers to kill.
And to fight for a cause they have long ago forgotten.

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme;
And gather it all in a bunch of heather,
Then she'll be a true love of mine.

Are you going to Scarborough Fair:
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme.
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Two Steps From Hell - Impossible

 



U2 - I Will Follow

 
I will follow

I was on the outside
When you said, you said you needed me
And I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh, why?

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes
Your, your, your eyes
Your eyes, just give me
Your, your, your eyes
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
Follow 

 

Killswitch Engage - Always

 
In these moments of loss and torment
When the vast skies don't seem to call to you
When the weight of this world bears down
And the stars have fallen like tears

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

Monuments built in remembrance of me
But monuments fade, erode and decay
The memories are all that remain
As far as east is from the west, remember

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

When hope seems lost down and lowly,
I am here with you always

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

I am with you always,
From life until death takes me 

 

Kings Of Leon - Temple

 
The dance floor's a temptress
Can't make out what you're saying
But you rub me the right way
With your child-like persuasion

I've got my hands in my pockets
And I'm crossing my fingers
Shoot fire am I simple
Stonewashed up and so so

I'd take one in the temple
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you

I feel all a mess now
I'm tossed in the scatter
And your eyes keep on shifting
To the boys that don't matter
I've got my hands in my pockets
I'm still crossing my fingers

I'd take one in the temple
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you

I've got my hands in my pockets
And I'm crossing my fingers
I just want to be noticed
I just want to be noticed

I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple
I'd take one for you
I'd take one in the temple (temple)
I'd take one for you 

 

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

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

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
