Bad English - Heaven Is A 4-Letter Word

 
There's a rumor here
And it's going round
Can you hear it on the street
If you realize that the pleasure lies
Between surrender and the heat

Just take a walk
on the wild side babe
And I'll meet you halfway there
And if you're talking about paradise
There's no need to say a prayer
Cause baby I'll take you there

Hey girl
Haven't you heard
Heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough
You'll find out when you enter the world
Heaven is a four letter word

Lose your innocence
For experience
But you've got to take the chance
Can you rock and roll
Can you get down babe
Cause it's tough for you to dance

Don't need to ride in a limousine
To feel like a millionaire
And if you're talking 'bout fantasy
It could happen anywhere
Baby I'll take you there

Hey girl
Haven't you heard
Heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough
You'll find out when you enter the world
Heaven is a four letter word

It's like love and kiss
And it feels like this
Baby don't wait too long
It's just me and you
We know what to do
And it's a long way til dawn

Yeah

Hey girl
Haven't you heard
Heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough
You'll find out when you enter the world
Heaven is a four letter word

Hey girl
Haven't you heard
Heaven is a four letter word
One touch is never enough
You'll find out when you enter the world
Heaven is a four letter word

(Hey girl)
Oh yeah
(Heaven is a four letter word)
It's a four letter word
(One touch)
Haven't you heard
(Heaven is a four letter word)

Hey
Hey girl
Haven't you heard
Heaven is a four letter word 

 

Def Leppard - Photograph (Up!)

 
Huh!

I'm outta luck, outta love
Got a photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch

I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free,
So far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done

Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough

I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh

You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild and free
So far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done

I gotta have your

Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph

You've gone straight to my head

Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh-oh, look what you've done

I gotta have your
I gotta have your

Photograph
I don't want your photograph
I don't need your photograph
All I've got is a photograph

I wanna touch you

Oh
Photograph
Photograph
Your photograph
Photograph
Photograph
I need more than your photograph
I'm outta love
Photograph
I'm outta luck
Photograph
You're the only one
Photograph
I wanna touch
Photograph

Whitesnake - Love Ain't No Stranger

 
Who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I looked around an' what did I see
Broken hearted people staring at me,
All searching 'cos they still believe,
Oh, love ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
I heard no warning, but, a heart can tell
I'd feel the emptiness of love I know so well

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love, no, no, no

Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed
I know good loving an' I'm a friend of pain,
But, when I read between the lines it's all the same

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

So who knows where the cold wind blows,
I ask my friends, but, nobody knows
Who am I to believe in love,
Lord, have mercy,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger

I was alone an' I needed love
So much I sacrificed all I was dreaming of,
Can't hold the passion of a soul in need,
I look for mercy when my heart begins to bleed

Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger to love

Love ain't no stranger,
Love ain't no stranger,
I ain't no stranger...

Illenium & Anna Clendening - Broken Ones

 
I know the way the story goes
The first part is the fun
We leave the room a little cold
To keep each other warm

Just for a minute
'Fore the bombs are hitting
And every night it turns to war

Thought we had a vision
Don't know what I see in us
No more

Cause we're halfway broken
Tryna make up
Damage already done

And it's only
One way down
Guess now we'll join the club

'Cause everyone falls so hard
And everything falls apart

But we know we
Still got heart
Here's to the broken ones

Here's to the broken ones
Broken
Here's to the broken ones

I used to know your breathing sounds
You'd sound me off to sleep
Oh, we're just lying quiet now
Both wide awake

But dreaming of that minute
'Fore the bombs were hitting
And every night it turns to war

Thought we had a vision
Don't know what I see in us
No more

Cause we're halfway broken
Tryna make up
Damage already done

And it's only
One way down
Guess now we'll join the club

'Cause everyone falls so hard
And everything falls apart

But we know we
Still got heart
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones
Here's to the broken ones 

 

Nelly - Just A Dream (Up!)

 
Uhh, uhh, uhh
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream

I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot, now she found her a replacement
I swear now I can't take it
Knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around, baby I can't think
I shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring
'Cause I can still feel it in the air
See her pretty face, run my fingers through her hair
My love of my life
My shorty, my wife
She left me, I'm tight
'Cause I knew that it just ain't right

Uhh, uhh, uhh
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream

When I be riding man I swear I see her face at every turn
Trying to get my Usher on but I can't let it Burn
And I just hope she know that she the only one I yearn - for
More and more, I miss her, when will I learn?
Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby
Hey, she was so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm going through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm missing, wishing she pick up the phone
But she made a decision that she wanted to move on
'Cause I was wrong

Uhh, uhh, uhh
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone
And you wishing you could give them everything
Everything (heyyy)
Said if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone
And you wishing you could give them everything

Uhh, uhh, uhh
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream
Uhh, uhh, uhh
I was thinking 'bout her, thinking 'bout me
Thinking 'bout us, what we gon' be?
Opened my eyes, yeah
It was only just a dream
So I travel back, down that road
Will she come back? No one knows
I realize, yeah
It was only just a dream

Teddy Swims - Bad Dreams

 

Sun is going down, time is running out
No one else around but me
Steady losing light
Steady losing my mind
Moving shadows and grinding teeth

Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight
What I'd do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you I keep

Slippin' into bad dreams
Where there's no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these
Bad dreams
Waiting on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these, all of these

(Ooh) Bad dreams
(Ooh) All of these, baby, please

Come around
Help me settle down
Hellish habits can cloud my head
What you waiting for
Something physical
I can't do this by myself

Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight
What I'd do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you I keep

Slippin' into bad dreams
Where there's no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these
Bad dreams
Waiting on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these, all of these

(Ooh) Bad dreams (bad dreams), baby, please
(Ooh) All of these (baby, please), all of these


Antônio Carlos Brasileiro de Almeida Jobim - Chega De Saudade

 
Vai minha tristeza
E diz a ela
Que sem ela não pode ser
Diz-lhe numa prece
Que ela regresse
Porque eu não posso mais sofrer
Chega de saudade
A realidade
É que sem ela não há paz
Não há beleza
É só tristeza
E a melancolia
Que não sai de mim
Não sai de mim, não sai
Mas se ela voltar, se ela voltar
Que coisa linda, que coisa louca
Pois há menos peixinhos a nadar no mar
Do que os beijinhos
Que eu darei na sua boca
Dentro dos meus braços
Os abraços
Hão de ser milhões de abraços
Apertado assim
Colado assim
Calado assim
Abraços e beijinhos
E carinhos sem ter fim
Que é pra acabar com esse negócio
De você viver sem mim
Não quero mais esse negócio
De você longe de mim
Vamos deixar desse negócio
De você viver sem mim

 

Caetano Veloso - Terra

 
Quando eu me encontrava preso
Na cela de uma cadeia
Foi que eu vi pela primeira vez
As tais fotografias
Em que apareces inteira
Porém lá não estavas nua
E sim, coberta de nuvens

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Ninguém supõe a morena
Dentro da estrela azulada
Na vertigem do cinema
Mando um abraço pra ti
Pequenina
Como se eu fosse o saudoso poeta
E fosses à Paraíba

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Eu estou apaixonado
Por uma menina, terra
Signo de elemento terra
Do mar se diz: Terra à vista
Terra para o pé, firmeza
Terra para a mão, carícia
Outros astros lhe são guia

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Eu sou um leão de fogo
Sem ti me consumiria
A mim mesmo eternamente
E de nada valeria
Acontecer de eu ser gente
E gente é outra alegria
Diferente das estrelas

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

De onde nem tempo, nem espaço
Que a força mande coragem
Pra gente te dar carinho
Durante toda a viagem
Que realizas no nada
Através do qual carregas
O nome da tua carne

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria?

Nas sacadas dos sobrados
Da velha São Salvador
Há lembranças de donzelas
Do tempo do Imperador
Tudo, tudo na Bahia
Faz a gente querer bem
A Bahia tem um jeito

Terra, terra
Por mais distante
O errante navegante
Quem jamais te esqueceria? 

 

Legião Urbana - Eu sei (Up!)

 
Sexo verbal não faz meu estilo
Palavras são erros e os erros são seus
Não quero lembrar que eu erro também
Um dia, pretendo tentar descobrir
Porque é mais forte quem sabe mentir
Não quero lembrar que eu minto também

Eu sei
Eu sei

Feche a porta do seu quarto
Porque se toca o telefone, pode ser alguém
Com quem você quer falar por horas e horas e horas
A noite acabou, talvez tenhamos que fugir sem você
Mas não, não vá agora, quero honras e promessas
Lembranças e histórias, somos pássaro novo longe do ninho

Eu sei
Eu sei

La Fouine ft. Zaho - Elle Venait Du Ciel (Again & Again)

 
Et si tu crois que tous ses rêves t'appartiennent, tu vis sans sommeil (tu vis sans sommeil)
Elle vient de là où tous les gens déçus saignent, elle venait du ciel
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne

Yeah, elle venait du ciel
À tous les gens autour de nous elle leur donnait du ciel
Aux voisins plus pauvres que nous elle leur donnait du sel
Enfermé dans ma cellule, frère, elle me donnait des ailes
J'viens du ciel les étoiles entre elles ne parlent que de cage-bra
Musicien j'peux plus bouger mes mains, les menottes me foudroient
Yeah, elle disait "reste droit, ولدي reste al"
J'ai mal car par la fenêtre j'entends plus العوني, إدخل لدار
Adolescent réservé trop souvent en colère
Échec scolaire, plus bas que terre, fout sa vie en l'air
Où t'iras j'irai on se l'était juré
Ils me menacent armés, je les supplie de tirer
Si la rue rendait heureux, bah, je serais Bill Cosby
J'galère depuis le Tam-Tam je vends depuis le cobbi
À tous les mecs en manque à la recherche d'un bout d'ciel
Ici la vie n'tient qu'à une ficelle

Et je repense à toi les yeux fermés
J'attends que ton souffle vienne m'emporter
J'ai les mains vides et le coeur avide de toi, de toi
Si tu savais à quel point je t'aimais
Otage de mes deux bras à jamais
J'ai les mains vides et le coeur avide de toi, de toi

Et si tu crois que tous ses rêves t'appartiennent, tu vis sans sommeil (tu vis sans sommeil)
Elle vient de là où tous les gens déçus saignent, elle venait du ciel
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne

Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam

Yeah, je tombe, donne-moi des ailes
Dans les décombres de ma vie je cherche un p'tit bout de ciel
Tu pleurais souvent en t'imaginant notre vie en mieux
On ferme les yeux quand on meurt mais seule la mort nous ouvre les yeux
Yeah, premier couplet, dernier souffle
Même avec une tonne de parfum mes sapes puent la bouffe
Elles sentent l'huile et la friture
J'suis né à Trappes, ça sent la biture, la piqûre
Si seulement le voisin du haut ne tapait pas sa femme
Si seulement l'voisin du bas n'vendait pas d'la came
Si seulement Amidou n'avait pas pris cette moto
Si seulement Mourad nous avait pas quittés trop tôt
J'ai mal et souvent j'les vois dans mes rêves
Aucun tatouage sur ma peau je reste en "Adam et Eve"
Mal dans ma tête elle me donnait des ailes
Quand t'as pas connu l'vinaigre comment apprécier le miel ?

Et je repense à toi les yeux fermés
J'attends que ton souffle vienne m'emporter
J'ai les mains vides et le coeur avide de toi, de toi
Si tu savais à quel point je t'aimais
Otage de mes deux bras à jamais
J'ai les mains vides et le coeur avide de toi, de toi

Et si tu crois que tous ses rêves t'appartiennent, tu vis sans sommeil (tu vis sans sommeil)
Elle vient de là où tous les gens déçus saignent, elle venait du ciel
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne
Elle venait du ciel, une fée, une magicienne

Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam
Joue pour elle ces tam-tam ra-pa-pa-pam-pam

RY X ft. Hermanos Gutiérrez - You

 
Woke up falling
Press into your side
Your body's an ocean
Pull me into your tides

All I see is you
All I see is you
All I see is you
All I see is you

All I see is you
All I see is you
In everything I do
All I see is you

Fall in deeper
Melt beneath your skin
Your breath tied against me
How do I breathe you in

All I see is you
All I see is you
All I see is you
All I see is you

All I see is you
All I see is you
In everything I do
All I see is you

All I see is you
All I see is you
In everything I do
All I see is you 

 

Electric Light Orchestra - Shine a Little Love (Up!)

 
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 

 

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

 
Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things that I feel?

If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up's all you wanna do

If I could
Baby I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Sarah Brightman - Scarborough (Simon & Garfunkel cover)

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

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

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

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'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
He once was a true love of mine 

 

Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance

 
When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair

When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year

The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone

"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand"

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay

We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
We bring a garland gay 

 

The Hooters - One Of Us (Joan Osborne cover)

 
If God had a name
What would it be and would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face
What would it look like and would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome

Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome

Masterstroke - Killing Creatures

 

Empty questions, insanity
Schizophrenic humanity
This world is full of selfish societies

Twisted people everywhere
We can see the signs, but we don't care
Oh, why don't we dare

Black gold - is it worth fighting for?
What are they looking for?
Blackened sun will shine forevermore

Where are answers, where are dreams?
Waiting silence, dreadful screams
Sirens playing tunes of death
Bring them back out of hell
They are trapped in a deadly cell
Never-ending war, for one dynasty

Black gold - is it worth living for?
What are they looking for?
Blackened sun will shine forevermore

Men of honour- combat troops
Many corpses - civilians lose
All for one and one for the black gold

Killing creatures in the night
Flash of light, burning sky
Sound of guns, screams of pain
All over the world it is the same
Such a blessing from our god
Beliefs of war, nations fall
What is right and what is wrong?
They're really fighting for the black gold

Black gold - is it worth fighting for?
What are they looking for?
Blackened sun will shine forevermore

Killing creatures in the night
Flash of light, burning sky
Sound of guns, screams of pain
All over the world it is the same
Such a blessing from our god
Beliefs of war, nations fall
What is right and what is wrong?
They're really fighting for the black gold


 


Van Halen - Hot For Teacher

 
Oh wow, man that's a—
Wait a second man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
My butt, man

T-t-teacher stop that screaming
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool

Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doin' well
Teacher needs to see me after school

I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher

Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back
I brought my pencil
Gimme something to write on, man

I heard about your lessons
But lessons are so cold
I know about this school

Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher

Oh man, I think that clock is slow
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed

I got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
Yes I'm hot

Oh my god

The Last Goodnight - Pictures Of You

 
This is the clock upon the wall
This is the story of us all
This is the first sound of a newborn child,
Before he starts to crawl

This is the war that's never won
This is a soldier and his gun
This is the mother waiting by the phone,
Praying for her son

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

There is a drug that cures it all
Blocked by the governmental wall
We are the scientists inside the lab,
Just waiting for the call

This earthquake weather has got me shaking inside
I'm high up and dry

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be

Confess to me, every secret moment
Every stolen promise you believed
Confess to me, all that lies between us
All that lies between you and me

We are the boxers in the ring
We are the bells that never sing
There is a title we can't win no matter
How hard we might swing

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Hung upon your wall for the world to see
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been
Could have been
Could have been
We could have been

Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been
Could have been 



 

Stan Ridgway - Camouflage

 
I was a P.F.C. on a search patrol, huntin' Charlie down
It was the jungle wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out all alone
And I could hear the enemy movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
And then a big marine, with a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there at my shoulder and said "Wait."
"If Charlie wants to tangle now he'll have two to dodge"
I said, "Well, thanks a lot!" I told him my name and asked him his

And he said "The boys just call me Camouflage"

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
'Cause they seemed to go right through him just as if he wasn't there
And in the mornin' we both took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin' through a bush
And that big Marine, he just swat it with his hand

Just like it was a fly...

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at me from the jungle and then he was gone
And when I got back to my H.Q., I told 'em about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big Marine named Camouflage
When I said his name, a soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
And led me to a green tent on the right
He said "You may be tellin' the truth, boy, but this here is Camouflage
And he's been right here since he passed away last night
But before he went, he said Semper Fi, and said his only wish
Was to save a young Marine caught in a mirage

"So here, take his dog tag, son, I know he'd want you to have it now"

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
I was awfully glad to see this big Marine

Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
 
 Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
Things are never quite the way they seem
Woah-oh-oh-oh, Camouflage
This was an awfully big marine
