Electric Light Orchestra - Prologue/Twilight

 
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream
The strangest pictures I have seen?
Night is day, and twilight's gone away

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

Across the night, I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here
But can you take me back?
In sight, the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here, and then you go away

(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

(Twilight, twilight)
(Twilight) I gave you time
To steal my mind
Away from me

You brought me here
But can you take me back again?

With your head held high
And your scarlet lies
You came down to me
From the open skies
(It's either real or it's a dream)
(There's nothing that is in between)

Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time
To steal my mind

(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile
(Twilight) I only meant to stay awhile

Twilight (Twilight)
Twilight (Twilight) 

 

Parabelle - (I Was Told) To Never let You Go

 
The sands of time have run their course
She dodged them once so she could find her comfort
From all the things she does to hurt her
And when she goes to close her eyes to sleep for the night
She hears opinions, they're not yours or mine
I say just throw this down and break this
Crushing hold they have on your soul

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurt so bad but you wont let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

She stands out in crowd
She thinks out loud to save her breath
With a portrait of her parents death
And I can show you stars
If this is who you are
You're far more priceless than the price that's spent
A choice like this gets harder just to fight through
So let this go
And we'll break this crushing hold
They have on your soul

My advice is to take all they steal right back
Whether we hate or unite
Make the ones who are hurting feel right

I was told to never let you go
I promise you've the prettiest of eyes
It hurts so bad but you won't let it show
I'll never let you know
It feels like the past and now inside
Common sense will never let you go

I was told to never let you go
To never let you go! 
 

Five Finger Death Punch - Brighter Side Of Grey (Up!)

 
I'm writing this in case I'm gone tomorrow
I'm writing this in case I've moved along
There's something that I hope you'll remember
That life is not a game, it's a song

So take the best parts of me
Locked away without the keys
And know that I'm forever by your side

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

If you're reading this, I know you're feeling sorrow
If you're hearing this, I know you're probably scared
Just know that all the things you own are borrowed
And all you get to keep is all you've shared

So wipe away the tears for me
Know that we've made history
Remember no one ever really dies

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey 


All That Remains - The Thunder Rolls (Garth Brooks cover)

 
Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul in sight
The city's looking like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's heading back from somewhere
That he never should have been

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burning
In a house across town
She's pacing by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Asking for miracle
Hoping she's not right
Praying it's the weather
That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waiting by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightning flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Because tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been 

 

Chiche/ شيش/שיש (Paris 10e)


 

Love - Andmoreagain

 
And if you'll see Andmoreagain
Then you will know Andmoreagain
For you can see you in her eyes
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And when you've given all you had
And everything still turns out
Bad, and all your secrets are your own
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And I'm wrapped in my armor
But my things are material
And I'm lost in confusions
Cause my things are material
And you don't know how much I love you
Oh, oh, oh...

And if you'll see Andmoreagain
Then you might be Andmoreagain
For you just wish and you are here
Then you feel your heart beating
Thrum-pum-pum-pum

And I'm wrapped in my armor
But my things are material
And I'm lost in confusions
Cause my things are material
And you don't know how much I love you
Oh, oh, oh...

Midnight Oil - Jimmy Sharmans Boxers

 
From the red dust north of Dalmore Downs
Sharman's tents roll into town
Twelve will face the auctioneer
Sharman's Boxers stand their ground
Their days are darker than your nights
But they won't be the first to fall
Children broken from their dreams
But they won't be the first to fall

Fighting in the spotlight
Eye's turn blacker than their skin
For Jimmy Sharman's boxers
It's no better if you win
Standing in the darkness
Lined up waiting for the bell
The days are wasted drinking
At the first and last hotel

Why are we fighting for this?
Why are you paying for this?
You pay to see me fall like shrapnel
To the floor
What is the reason for this?
There is a reason for this?
What is the reason they keep coming back for more?

The blows now bring him to his knees
But still the crowd calls out for more
The drums are burning in his ears
The man keeps counting out the score 


 

Scorpions - Always Somewhere

 
Arrive at seven the place feels good
No time to call you today
Encores till eleven then Chinese food
Back to the hotel again

I call your number the line ain't free
I like to tell you come to me
A night without you seems like a lost dream
Love I can't tell you how I feel

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Another morning another place
The only day off is far away
But every city has seen me in the end
And brings me to you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Always somewhere
Miss you where I've been
I'll be back to love you again

Oh 
I'll be back!
 

Helloween - I Want Out

 
From our lives' beginning on
We are pushed in little forms
No-one asks us how we'd like to be
In school they teach us what to think
But everyone says different things
But they're all convinced that
They're the ones to see

So they keep talking and they never stop
At a certain point you give it up
So the only thing that's left to think is this

I want out
To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

People tell me A and B
They tell me how I have to see
Things that I have seen already clear
So they push me then from side to side
They're pushing me from black to white
They're pushing till there's nothing more to hear

But don't push me to the maximum
Shut your mouth and take it home
Cause I decide the way things gonna be

I want out
To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

There's a million ways (million ways) to see the things in life
A million ways to be the fool (million ways)
In the end of it, (in the end) none of us is right
Sometimes, we need to be alone (alone, alone, alone)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Leave me alone

To live my life alone
I want out
Leave me be
I want out
To do things on my own
I want out
To live my life and to be free

I want out 

 

Roachford - Higher

 
 Oh, won't you listen to the sound

Well, ever since, way back when I was a kid
You know I was always chasing you out
Oh, don't you know you were a baiter
My one and only who can make me scream and shout

You were bad, you were mean, fast like a sex machine
And I'm sad for the people who've never sinned
When we were down down in depression
Your music was a pick-me-up, an inspiration

So just can get take this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
Keep on taking this higher (higher)
Come on take this higher 
Than we've never ever been before 

You set this place on fire
And it's like a supernatural - ain't no lie
My body's shaking like a wire
And I hope that feeling never dies

Keep on taking this higher
Keep on taking this higher 
Than we've never ever been before
We need to go higher (higher)
Come one, take us higher
Than we've never ever been before


 

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

 
From the coast of gold across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years 

 

Tyketto - Forever Young

 
No sleeping
She waits tables late
Trying to stay tough
Never ending
However long she waits
It's just not enough

He's sleeping late
No work around
Broken dreams come tumbling down
He's been down every road in this old dead-end town
And now we're two more runners in the night

Forever young
Time on our side
We got tomorrow
We got tonight
Two hungry hearts
Out on the run
We'll always be forever young

She's crying ,two worlds collide
Can't take anymore
He's denying the kick inside
Died and slammed the door, (he says)
We made a deal, you and I
Crossed our hearts and hope to die
No matter what may come
We'll never say goodbye

But now we're two more runners in the night
Forever young
Time on our side
We've got tomorrow
We've got tonight
Two hungry hearts
Out on the run
We'll always be forever young

Forever, just you and I
Forever, forever just you and I

Alannah Myles - Who Loves You

 
I send a message to you
I close my eyes and hope it gets through
It's in the language of love
It's in your touch, bearing 'em all
I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
So tired I can't fall asleep
I close my eyes and breathe in the heat
I've got this passion for you
Like desparation out of the blue
I wonder if you hear me tonight
Sometimes you're so far away
I wanna have you near me tonight
Do you belong to me
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna run to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it
Who loves you, who you gonna to
Who loves you, what's you gonna do about it now
What's you gonna do about it now 

 

Crownshift - My Prison

 
The smile is long gone
I'm left with scars to drag along
An image shattered
Shards don't fit, a scene beyond repair

All good fades away

A broken reflection
Light doesn't fix the night in me
(Light doesn't fix the night in me)
Locked within the choices I didn't get to choose
(The choices I didn't get to choose)
Everything I ever had
All gone for good
This final dream is all I need to lead me free

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold

The sun has gone down
No warmth can reach what I conceal
Like a dead ship drifting
Horizon fades into shades
My prison remains

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold

Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!

(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)

Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring in the night so calm
Calling this off
(Screaming on my knees
Oh please set me free!)
Staring eyes, dreaming eyes
Turn so cold...

Spear Of Destiny - Never Take Me Alive

 
I'm leaving on the five train
Don't ask me when I'm coming back again
I reckon it's only a matter of time
Before the law kick in the door
Mother I'm running out of change,
But I had to phone to let you know

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive

Mother I killed someone
It wasn't that I hated him
You see, he was trying to stop me
But he found out
I'd go the whole way

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

I can't tell you how I feel
Maybe you don't wanna know
Maybe, maybe
But anyway: I love you so

They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me

They'll never take me alive 
 

Foreigner - Urgent

 
You're not shy, you get around
You wanna fly, don't want your feet on the ground
You stay up, you won't come down
You wanna live, you wanna move to the sound

Got fire in your veins
Burnin' hot but you don't feel the pain
Your desire is insane
You can't stop until you do it again

But sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyes
Maybe you're thinking of some other guy
But I know, yes I know, how to treat you right
That's why you call me in the middle of the night

You say it's urgent
So urgent, so oh oh urgent
Just wait and see
How urgent my love can be
It's urgent

You play tricks on my mind
You're everywhere but you're so hard to find
You're not warm or sentimental
You're so extreme, you can be so temperamental

But I'm not looking for a love that will last
I know what I need and I need it fast
Yeah, there's one thing in common that we both share
That's a need for for each other anytime, anywhere

It gets so urgent
So urgent
You know it's urgent
I wanna tell you it's the same for me
So oh oh urgent
Just you wait and see
How urgent our love can be
It's urgent

You say it's urgent
Make it fast, make it urgent
Do it quick, do it urgent
Gotta rush, make it urgent
Want it quick
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
Urgent, urgent, emergency
So urgent, emergency
Emer... emer... emer...
It's urgent 

 

Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You

 
I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well, as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love is suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
Well, I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And, baby, you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for you

I wasn't there when you were happy
And I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what love can do
I'll be there for

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you 

 

Florent Pagny - Savoir Aimer

 
Savoir sourire
À une inconnue qui passe
N'en garder aucune trace
Sinon celle du plaisir
Savoir aimer
Sans rien attendre en retour
Ni égard, ni grand amour
Pas même l'espoir d'être aimé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Savoir attendre
Goûter à ce plein bonheur
Qu'on vous donne comme par erreur
Tant on ne l'attendait plus
Se voir y croire
Pour tromper la peur du vide
Ancrée comme autant de rides
Qui ternissent les miroirs

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Savoir souffrir
En silence, sans murmure
Ni défense ni armure
Souffrir à vouloir mourir
Et se relever
Comme on renaît de ses cendres
Avec tant d'amour à revendre
Qu'on tire un trait sur le passé

Mais savoir donner
Donner sans reprendre
Ne rien faire qu'apprendre
Apprendre à aimer
Aimer sans attendre
Aimer à tout prendre
Apprendre à sourire
Rien que pour le geste
Sans vouloir le reste
Et apprendre à Vivre
Et s'en aller

Apprendre à rêver
À rêver pour deux
Rien qu'en fermant les yeux
Et savoir donner
Donner sans rature
Ni demi-mesure
Apprendre à rester
Vouloir jusqu'au bout
Rester malgré tout
Apprendre à aimer
Et s'en aller
Et s'en aller

Van Halen - Dance The Night Away (Up!)

 
Have you seen her?
So fine and pretty. Fooled me with her style and ease.
And I feel her from across the room.
Yes, it's love in the third degree.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Come on, take a chance.
You're old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
A live wire.
Barely a beginner, but just watch that lady go.
She's on fire, 'cause dancing gets her higher than anything else she knows.
Ooh, baby, baby.
Won'tcha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby, baby.
Well, don't skip romance, 'cause you're old enough to dance the night away.
Oh, come on, baby, dance the night away.
Dance the night away.
Dance, dance, dance the night away.
