Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street

 
Winding your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold
It's got so many people, but it's got no soul
And it's taken you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it held everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're trying, you're trying now
Another year and then you'd be happy
Just one more year and then you'd be happy
But you're crying, you're crying now

Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything
He's got this dream about buying some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one-night stands
And then he'll settle down
In some quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Five Finger Death Punch ft. DMX - This Is The Way

 
This is the way is the way it's supposed to be
Is this the way?
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
Is this the way?
This is the way is the way it's supposed to be
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
Let's go

Ya'll niggas heard it through the grapevine
What's that?
Expect I'ma take mine
Name of the game is get in where you fit in (What?)
Dog, I fit in at the beginning

Cats livin', jumpin' out the window
Where money go? Yo, right out the window
Where's there's rock and roll, I lock and load
Shut 'em down, open up a shop, oh no

I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
Walked through fire and through brimstone, and there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it, tell me

Is this the way is the way it's supposed to be?
Is this the way?
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
Let's go

Let me go, nigga, back up off me
Dog got the cage, cats walk softly
Talk real lightly, scared to bite me
Scared to death to shoot me, scared to fight me

In the street, niggas, just playin' the wrong game
Up in the real nigga face, saying the wrong thing
Real shit, this is how a dog get down
Hands in the air whenever dog hit town

I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
Walked through fire and through brimstone, and there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it, tell me

Is this the way is the way it's supposed to be?
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
Let's go

I'm no angel, I'm no savior, and I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
Walked through fire and through brimstone, and there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it, tell me

Is this the way is the way it's supposed to be?
Is this the way?
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be 

 

Skindred - If I Could

 
I would erase you if I could

You've left us balling balling
Name calling all over the world
It seems like it's falling
I see a beautiful day
Stuck inside a cell where I cannot get away
We all have had enough
We've had it oh so rough
I cannot take no more
Let me go and leave me alone

In every way you broke me and it's not OK
In every way you're so wrong

You think you're so bad
But yeah you're no good
I would erase you if I could
I got you so wrong
So misunderstood
I would erase you if I could
If I could

Well in light of the things you've done recently
I'm gunna set an embargo against your country
Lying teefing hearts you're breaking
Everything you are forsaking
And dem der ting it no right right
You're trying to take away my life life
You better step up and fight fight
You're going on like a thief in the night

In every way you broke my heart it's not OK
In every way you're so wrong

You think you're so bad
But yeah you're no good
I would erase you if I could
I got you so wrong
So misunderstood
I would erase you if I could
If I could

If ah could ah
Should ah would ah
Should ah would ah could ah
Should ah would ah could ah

Should ah would ah could ah
Shouldn't have done what you did
Sitting on that dick was no accident
Should ah would ah could ah
Shouldn't have done what you did
You're trying to murder me to the maximum
I've got heart ache and sad ache
You ain't getting an invitation to my party
The things wha you ah do ah go make your heart stop
Go make your heart stop

You think you're so bad
But yeah you're no good
I would erase you if I could
I got you so wrong
So misunderstood
I would erase you if I could

You think you're so bad
But yeah you're no good
I would erase you if I could
I got you so wrong
So misunderstood

If I could
If I could
I would erase you if I could
If I could 

 

Like A Storm - Break Free

 
Help me
I've fallen further in myself
I'm stuck here again
And I can't see
That I'm not digging my way out
I'm digging my grave.

I've become my own demise
Paralyzed inside my mind
Arms are weak from holding up this front
No escape and no surprises
Complicated compromises
Hold me down
When what all I really want

Break free, break free, break free
From everything
Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way
Start again.

Tell me
How you can be the brighter star
That light up the sky
Well I can't seem
To even light up my own place
And I've burned out from trying

I've become what I despise
Paralyzed inside a lie
Arms are weak from holding back the flood
Sinking as the waters rise
Drink myself to sleep each night
I'm going under
And all I really want

Break free, break free, break free
From everything
Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way

Start again

No
Going under
I all I really want
Break free

Break free
Before it breaks me
There's got to be another way

Start again
Start again
Start again
There's got be another way.

Start again
Start again
Start again
Start again 

 

Stone Broken - Wait For You (Up!)

 
I've waited too long
I've tried to find ways to carry on
But all of my days roll into one
I've gotta get away from here
Go somewhere where the waters clear
Somewhere I can clear my mind
Somewhere I can spend my time

All the things I wanted to do
Are so much better when I'm with you
Something inside of me
Is waiting for something new
So I'll just wait for you

I'm trying to hold on
I'm looking for somewhere that I belong
Sometimes I think I'm too far gone
I'm trying to get away from here
Go somewhere where the water's clear
With someone who can clear my mind
With someone I can spend my time

All the things I wanted to do
Are so much better when I'm with you
Something inside of me
Is waiting for something new
So I'll just wait for you

To come and find me
If you only knew
It would terrify me
If you had a clue
What would you say
Oh

All the things I wanted to do
Are so much better when I'm with you
Something inside of me
Is waiting for something new
So I'll just wait for you

All the things I wanted to do
Are so much better when I'm with you
Something inside of me
Is waiting for something new
So I'll just wait for you

Yes - Love Will Find A Way (Up!)

 
You wanna get close to me
The feeling so clear
But I need some time to see
Vision through my tear
You wanna get next to me
I need your intrusion
I don't need to be
Blinded by confusion

Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at chez nous

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way for me and you

Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

So you want to get over me
And that's how you feel
Everything you want to be
Seems so unreal
I want to be all of you
And that's the confusion
It's so hard for me
To draw a conclusion

Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at chez nous

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Love will find a way
I believe that there's a way
If you want it to
Will love find a way
Love will find a way
Will love find a way
Love will find a way 


Kim Wilde - Million Miles Away

 
A while ago you looked at me
And said there'd come a time
You'd have to go away
You put it on the line
And told me we should only
Take each moment day by day

Well I know that there's a time in life
When people change
And go their separate ways
But I miss you, more each day

You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Though it hurt to leave that way
We'll we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end

There is no way to love
No rules that we can follow
Nothing simple or defined
We make our own
And some we borrow
Hoping it won't end
But darling now we know
We've got no-where left to go

You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end

And if I travelled to the stars
Would I find out where you are
Touch the secret in your heart
And set it free
Or would you turn away
Cos I miss you more each day

You're a million miles away
But I feel you in my heart
Through it hurt to leave that way
Well we knew that from the start
Cos you never did pretend
Our love would never end
Our love would never end 

 

The Connells - '74-'75

 
Got no reason for coming to me in the rain running down
There's no reason
And the same voice coming to me like it's all slowin down
And believe me

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after. '74-'75

It's not easy, nothing to say 'cause it's already said
It's never easy
When I look on your eyes then I find that I'll do fine
When I look on your eyes then I'll do better

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after, '74-'75
Giving me more and I'll defy
You're really only after '74-'75

I'll be your wish upon a star that you and I
Have never gone astray and that love was here to stay
Ever since then I've been dreaming of
That you and me we'd fly away, og
When I look on your eyes then I find that I'll do fine
When I look on your eyes then I'll do better

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after, '74-'75
Giving me more and I'll defy
'Cause you're really only after '74-'75

I was the one who let you know
I was your sorry-ever-after, '74-'75
I was the one who let you know, oh-oh-oh
Giving me more and I'll defy
'Cause you're really only after '74-'75 

 

The Hooters - All You Zombies

 
Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye
"Let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
Yeah, he's just gonna break 'em in half

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark
Working all by himself

Only Noah saw it coming
40 days and 40 nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah, they were the Israelites

All you zombies, hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you

Holy Father, what's the matter?
Where have all your children gone?
Sitting in the dark, living all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies, show your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

All you zombies, show your faces (I know you're out there)
All you people in the street (Let's see you)
All you sittin' in high places
It's all gonna fall on you

Zombies... 

 

Ghost Hounds - Fire Under Water

 
One of these days, I'm gonna put it all together
I'm gonna pick up all the pieces that I lost along the way
One of these days, before tomorrow turns to never
I'm gonna find a little mercy while I still got a soul to save

Fire
Fire under water
Just like fire
Fire under water

You can shut your eyes and jump or you can look before you leap
You can walk right past the trouble or fall into the deep
I could change my way of thinkin', but that just wouldn't be me
I could wash away my sins, but I'd still be

Fire
Fire under water
Just like fire
Fire under water

I could swim a thousand oceans and sail the seven seas
But I'll always feel that fire
Following (Following), following (Following)
Following (Following), following me
Hey now

Garbage & Screaming Females - Because The Night (Patti Smith Group cover - Up!)

 
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is a hunger it's the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feed

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now
Can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

Have I doubt when I'm alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes

Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can't touch you now
Can't touch you now, can't hurt you now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us

With love we sleep
With doubt this vicious circle turns and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive the yearning burning
I believe it's time
Too real to feel
So touch me now
Touch me now
Touch me now

Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us 


Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight

 
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night 

 

Ronnie James Dio - The Last In Line

 
We're the ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home

We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies
Between the good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah
We're the last in line, oh

Yeah, we're off to the witch
We may never, never, never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
You know we're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way to go is down

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, oh
We're the last in line
See how we shine

We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the last in
We're the first in line, oh

We're a ship without a storm
We're the cold inside the warm
We're the laugh without tear
We're the smile without the mirror

We're the last in line
We're the last in line
We're the last in line
See how we shine
We're the last in line 

 

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son

 
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ah

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
Well, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more

No more!

SOiL - Unreal

 
Sit back, bare your cross to me, oh, won't I listen?
Goddamn, have I burned my hands on what's been missin'?
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, let me start again

You fucked me
Behind this garden
Don't fuck with me

Long before I could even see you're what was missin'
Twistin' deep inside of me, forever missin' the glistenin'
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, hold closed your hand

You fucked me
Behind this garden
Don't fuck with me

Can you see all the clear skin in front of me?
Can you see, can you see what you wanna see?
Can you see there's a little spot of light in me?
Can you see, can you tell I'm fucked?
Bleed emotions
Bleed emotions

You sat back, gave your soul to me, but did I listen?
Goddamn, did I burn my hands on what was missin', the glistenin'?
I feel unreal every time I try and start to feel
Pick me up, my friend, hold closed my hand

You fucked with me, behind this garden
You fucked with me, behind this garden
Don't you fuck with me 

 

Like A Storm - Until The Day I Die

 
The waters rise, the light declines
But I'm not turning back from here
Voices are crying, corpses remind
The most don't make it to the end

Look to the sky
Take back what's mine

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll stand and fight it
Until the day I die

I left the known, to walk alone
'Cause to remain was suicide
The could've been, stood up again
'Cause not to try was just to die

Maybe I'm wrong
But it's my right

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll stand and fight
Until the day I die

I'll stand and fight
I'll stand and fight
I'll stand and fight

Stars keep falling
Darkness calling
Feed the fire I need to light my way

This life can be a cemetery
This life can be a shallow grave
I'll never be a casualty
I'll never bow before I break
I'll face the night
I'll find the light
Look to the sky
Take back what's mine
I'll stand and fight it
Until the day I die 

 

The Killers - Shot At The Night

Uh-uh, uh-uh)

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these bones
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Oh, give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

(Uh-uh, uh-uh)

To find that our home, has long been out grown
Throw me a life line, cause honey I've got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light

Give me a shot at the night, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Give me a moment (Just give me at the moment)
Some kinda mysterious (Give one shot at the night)
Give me a shot at the night (Ohohoh) 

 

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  

 

Within Temptation - Ritual

 
I'll make you line up, 'cause I'm imperial
Shapeshifting into what I want, and now I own you all

But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

I'll make you rise up into my midnight oil
Drink, drink
Wet martini from my paper cup
Going down the rabbit hole

But I already know
I can't let you go
Like my ritual
My ritual
'Cause I already know
I can't let you go
You're my ritual
My ritual playground

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

Your equality, your vanity, your relevancy
Sexuality and venomous perversity
Venomous perversity
Venomous perversity

Ooh, I got the spark to light your fire
You're going down for milk and honey
With every touch I embody your desire
You're going, you're going down with my ritual

You're going down with my ritual
You're going down with my ritual

Asia - Don't Cry

 
Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't Cry now that I've found you
Don't Cry take a look around you
Don't Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Don't Cry

I knew I'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh
