Lyrical Moments...

[Katie Kicks Ass]

dirty babe, you see these shackles baby I'm your slave, I'll let you whip me if i misbehave.
Justin Timberlake- sexy back

Oh I wish I was a prawn cracker with fried rice in my hair.
Chris Moyles take on Sandi Thom's I wish I was a punk rocker.

[Ghost]

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I won't be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing

In the end only kindness matters
~ Hands, Jewel

[Freudian Hips]

You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon. (hey)
You got soul (yeah), you got class (ohh). You got style, you bad ass Oh Yeah!

Ain't No Other Man, Christina Aguilera

[azande]

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him


You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta
{Lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta}(2)

His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows it's all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old partna', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motha****in roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the, fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to, 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
teeter-totter caught up between being a father and a pre madona
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day in monotony's
gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motha****in option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you betta

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Eminem - Lose yourself

[Sparkles]

People say shes crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well, thats one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten
Then she slipped into my pocket with my car keys
She said "You've taken me for granted because I please you,
Wearing these diamonds"

{Chorus}

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said "Honey, take me dancing!"
But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes...

[Miss Conduct]

What a profound effect this song had on me...


GO

I remember
All the things that you did to me:
How you played with my sanity,
Would you leave me be?
Would you let me live my life?

I remember,
As I drown in my memories,
How I vowed you would not break me.
Did you think me so weak?
I’d still hold my head up high

Do you remember
How you made your worst enemy?
Were you so blind that you could not see
The change in me?
Oh, I’d learned to fly...



Father
The worm has turned, now it’s you who needs me.
Will your conscience not let you sleep,
Not leave you be?
Can’t you find your piece mind?

Father
I don’t want you apologies.
Your recognition I don’t need,
Can’t you see?
I finally learned to fly

Father
I’ve decided to set you free:
In your hand I place the key,
I beg of you leave.
Go find your piece of mind

On at mo. Neil Finn. He's a genius. For thouse that don;t know him. He is the Singer Songwriter from Crowded House. Get his ablums.

Wherever You Are

Wherever you are,
Its 3 A.m. and I’m awake,
Imagine the light,
Upon your blue transparent face,
Through coloured glass,
It filters down to warmest red,
I’m the one who reads your mind,
See my life in your design,
True companion at your side,
You’re gracious and good,
When all around is turning bad,
Restless and brave,
When laid upon suburban grass,
Your timing is right,
Remove the sad persistent thought,
Hold the course,
I’m the one who reads your mind,
Sees my life in your design,
True companion at your side,
I’ll give you something,
for when I’m not around,
to make you smile,
and if you think it then it must be true,
if only I could make it through,
climb into my bed,
wherever you are,
wherever you are,
your timing is good,
remove the sad persistent thought,
hold the course,
I’m the one who reads your mind,
Sees my life in your design,
True companion at your side,
I’ll leave you something for when I’m not around,
To make you smile,
Outside that wasteland,
And if only I could make it through,
If you think it then it must be true,
Wherever you are

" Don’t feel like dancin’, dancin’
Even if i find nothin' better to do"

Not the song, just that I still ache too much from Camber.

[jacksondonut]

I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm, he came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldnt be that man I adored
You dont seem to know, dont seem to care what your heart is for
But I dont know him anymore
Theres nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings fine Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn

So I guess the fortune tellers right
Should have seen just what was there and not some holy light
To crawl beneath my veins and now
I dont care, I have no luck, I dont miss it all that much
Theres just so many things that I cant touch, Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Youre a little late, Im already torn. torn.

Theres nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
Thats whats going on, nothings right, Im torn

Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
Im all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and Im ashamed bound and broken on the floor
Youre a little late, Im already torn

[Ghost]

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right(you're right)

You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize...
Vienna waits for you.

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Why don't you realize...Vienna waits for you
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

Vienna ~ Billy Joel

[Sparkles]

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'cause I know that you feel me somehow
Youre the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I dont want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'cause sooner or later its over
I just dont want to miss you tonight

And I dont want the world to see me
'cause I dont think that they'd understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know youre alive

And I dont want the world to see me
'cause I dont think that they'd understand
When everythings made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

[Ghost]

It must be hard
Being an angel
When the devil in your heart
Won’t set you free
It must be hard
Being an angel
When the world has let you down
Imperfection all around
Hey look at me

Gentlemen, gentlemen please!
Can you please support the notion
Of what I’m saying here
That the person here in question
Must be an angel here on earth
If they can see a human being
For what a human being’s really worth
Gentlemen please!

Nobody’s perfect
All of the time
Nobody’s perfect
We are what we are
There’s no perfect reason
And no perfect rhyme
For most of the time
That’s what we’re looking for…..

Nobody's Perfect ~ Mike and the Mechanics

[Aleks]

I can believe it
You're a dream coming true
I can believe it
I have fallen for you
Y sé que eres tú
el que me hace suspirar
Y sé que por tí
yo podría llorar
You are the one
who's lead me to the sun
How could I know
That I'd be lost without you
I want to tell you
you control your game
I wanna let you know
you're alive in my veins
Yo nunca fui
estrella que desear
Ahora sí
Tú me has dado vida
I want to tell you
you control your game
I want you to know
you're alive in my veins
Y apago la luz
para verte mejor
y saborear
este sueño de amor
I have fallen for you (yo podría llorar)
I have fallen for you
I just wanna tell you
You're a dream coming true (este sueño de amor)
I have fallen for you
I have fallen for you
I have fallen for you

[Beowulf]

To bring this down into the "gutter"* again.

*well ok, not so much the gutter.. but the horrid sugary sweet place of Disney Musicals

Found myself singing this one while in the shower this morning..

"In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game

And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see

That...
A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along - for

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

The honey bee that fetch the nectar
From the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
From ev'ry flower that they sip
And hence (And hence),
They find (They find)
Their task is not a grind.

Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah!

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way"

[Gav]

Remember that tank top you bought me.
You wrote 'You're Gorgeous' on it.
You took me to your rented motor car and filmed me on the bonnet.
You got me to hitch my knees up and pulled my legs apart.
You took an instamatic camera and and pulled my sleeves around my heart.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through.

You said my clothes were sexy, you tore away my shirt.
You rubbed an ice-cube on my chest snapped me 'til it hurt.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through.

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

You said I wasn't cheap. You paid me twenty pounds.
You promised to put me in a magazine on every table in every lounge.

Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I'd do anything for you.
Because you're gorgeous our love will see us through.
Because you're gorgeous I know you'll get me through. I know you'll get me through.

Falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms
I’m falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms…
I never
If I believe that everything that everything is fine
If I believe that everything that everything is just fine
Well here I am
Beside you and I’m falling
On my knees
Falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms
Will you catch me
Will you catch me
Falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms
Falling asleep
Will you catch me
Will you catch me
I’m falling asleep in your arms
Will you catch me
Will you catch me
Falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms
If I believe that everything is fine
Just fine
Falling asleep
I’m falling asleep in your arms (goodnight… ya!)
