Everlast--What it's Like

(yeah, it's kinda lib, but it's a helluva song)

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you ****in' slob's all he replied

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]
To have to lose...

BTW--they're in studio making another album.  I WILL sell my house for a front-row seat for that show...

U2--Until the End of the World--Achtung Baby

Haven't seen you for quite a while
I was down the hole just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.

Thunderstone - Tool of the Devil

I'm a man without a heart, without a soul
I am here for you, if you'll play my role
Come closer if you dare, I will snow you the way
I'm pleasure and pain, I'm the night of your day
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime

I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil

You try to stay on path, try to keep direction
But the voices in your head, whispering deception
You're standing in the middle, don't know what to do
I'll give you the answers, to get you through
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime

I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil

[Attero Dominatus]

Thunderstone - I Will Come Again

Here again all by myself I'm pounding it all
I can't recall those years before, before when I stood tall
The days of glory in the past, haunting evermore
The vision and the final dream are still behind the door
Searching for the righteous course, I'm lost without a light
I need a sign, I need it now, I'll never give up without a fight

I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead

The story goes on and on, it's time to turn page
I wish to find my final peace, without any rage
And suddenly I see it all, I'm not alone anymore
I need to run but not to hide, I'm reaching for the door

I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead

Strawberry Letter 23

Hello my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain I gave
The sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden, I see (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
West purples shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dressed in green

Pretty music I hear
So happy and loud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Blue flowers echo
From a cherry cloud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask, "is it cool?"
"Is it cool?"

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
I am free flying in her arms
Over the sea...

Stained window yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
With velvet roses diggin' freedom flight (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays I sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah...)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)

(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays I sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays I sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Sabaton - Metal Crüe

Take some venom and accept
That you won't see Nazareth
The rainbow leads you home

Warrior sent to milky way
UFO shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction

Watch the rockbitch go down, vixen spread

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the Queen in crimson glory

You were born a mötorhead
Bike's in flames you race ahead
you do the kansas rush

Racing with the motley crew
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses

Status quo has been reached, wasps unleashed

Take a skyride with me, then you'll see

Goin back to Cali
LL Cool J

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. hmm, I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so

Going back to cali, stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun
The top is down, on the black corvette
And its fly, cause its sittin on daytons
Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
And three girls waiting
Vrrrroom engines blowin, the chrome, is shining
Passing all the cars on the way
Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
Pop in a cassette and push play

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali - yea yall, I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali..

Im going back to cali, shakin em, bakin em
Takin em to spots they never before hung
? ? the place, on sunset its a trip
Where the a.c.s cold, and the girls still strip
The record skip, but this girl kept dancin
Prancin, grindin, grinnin, romancin
I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay
I wanna do this, brutus, but I dont wanna pay

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali - no man I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali..

..

Im going back to cali, rising, surprising
Advising realizing, shes sizing me up
Her bikini - small; heels - tall
She said, she liked, the ocean
She showed me a beach, gave me a peach
And pulled out the suntan lotion
Now I thought that was fast, but this girl was faster
Shes lookin for a real good time
I said, close your eyes, I got a surprise,
And I ran away with the bottle of wine

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so

Warrior - Fighting For The Earth

Face to face, eye to eye
Weilding the axe, the mighty must die
Highest mountain, deepest sea
Eternally searching to destroy the beast

Cry of the jackal, is heard in the land
Immortal enemy, has come to challenge man
Secret science out of control
Conjured the serpent, up from below

We are fighting for the earth
We are fighting for the earth

Searching, searching, searching...

Blood and corruption, hideous crimes
Lying leaders, controlling our minds
Cloak and dagger, conspiracy of hate
Oh hear the cry before it's too late

We are fighting for the Earth

[Attero Dominatus]

Thunderstone - Face in the Mirror

Time after time
We hear the world's cry
No matter how we try
We're always one step behind

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

We are weakened by the virus
There's nothing we can feel
If this will be our last song
I welcome you to the real

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

[Chris_]

Blake Lewis "End of The World"

First act I wake up to find the hope
To see you simply staring back at me
Still there's only emptiness calling
To break the dream I once believed
Now I'm scared that this reality
Is much too heavy for me
I'm too weak to be strong
I can't be the only one
Holding on till the day you find me, so

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

You found the place I hide within
Like you see right through my skin and my heart
To see I’m hopelessly wishing
You can forgive all my mistakes
Take them back and just erase all the wrong
And let our future get brighter

I'm too weak to be strong
I can't be the only one
Holding on till the day you find me, so
[End Of The World lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

Till these shadows disappear
I still wait to find you here
Still I’m haunted from the moment I feared, oh
Never forget what it’s like to surrender in your eyes
Holding on till the day you find me, so

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

Thunderstone - Under The Burning Sun

I'm watching through the frozen window
Through the reflection of my face
There's a cold world out there
And I'm here, safe, and deceitfully fine...

This is my world
My haven, my home, where I can be alone
Only hear and see
Hear and see things that really matter to me

When I open the door and look upon the haze
I can see a million eyes and the way they're gazing at me
Walking through the misery
Surrounded by the things that I don't want to see

I can feel the hopeless pain,
and it's driving me insane
And today I'll make a promise
Just to break it by tomorrow

We will never learn
We will never turn
Our eyes to the world
Where the pain is reality
We will never see
We'll never believe
Until we touch the burning sun

I feel the breeze
The breeze that makes me realize that I am not alone
I'm here,
I'm home and safe again behind the doors, locked
inside
Never want to leave again

[Attero Dominatus]

Sabaton - Stalingrad

Fresh from Moscow
Over Volga came to comrades aid
City in despair
Almost crushed by the führers army

Oh it's colder than hell
Hitlers forces advancing

The sound of mortars
The music of death
A grand symphony

See your friends fall hear them
Pray to the god your country denies
Every man dies alone and when your
Time comes you will know that it's time

Stalins fortress on fire
Is this madness or hell

The sound of mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devils symphony
Our violins are guns
Conducted from hell

Oh Stalingrad
Mratnimiat

Are you playing
Do you follow the conductors lead
No one knows you
No one cares about single a single violin

Play the score of the damned
Know the devil within

[Zeus]

There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose

When i've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being

Justin Timberlake

I’m bringing sexy back
Them other boys don’t know how to act
I think you're special, what's behind your back?
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge]
Dirty babe
You see the shackles
Baby I’m your slave
I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave
It’s just that no one makes me feel this way

Take 'em to the chorus

[Chorus]
Come here girl
Go ahead, be gone with it
Come to the back
Go ahead, be gone with it
VIP
Go ahead, be gone with it
Drinks on me
Go ahead, be gone with it
Let me see what you’re working with
Go ahead, be gone with it
Look at those hips
Go ahead, be gone with it
You make me smile
Go ahead, be gone with it
Go ahead child
Go ahead, be gone with it
And get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
[Repeat 6 times]

Get your sexy on

[Verse 2]
I’m bringing sexy back
Them other ****ers don’t know how to act
Come let me make up for the things you lack
'Cause you're burning up I gotta get it fast

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I’m bringing sexy back
You mother ****ers watch how I attack
If that’s your girl you better watch your back
Cause she’ll burn it up for me and that’s a fact

Take 'em to the chorus

In Your Eyes Lyrics
 Â» Peter Gabriel
Get Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes ringtone
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

[Zeus]

Wish I Was - Gamma

I wish I was a willow tree
Leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train
Midnight train to Georgia

I wish I was a grain of sand
Laying in a baby's hand
Falling like a diamond chain
Into the ocean
A willow tree
Is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak
Who lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand
Is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on over me, oh

I wish I was an old guitar
Sitting in a beat up car
Hitting every two-bit bar
From here to Texas
Then I wouldn't be ashamed
To look up my old friends
They would be so proud
To see me strung up again

Repeat Chorus

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just another face
Lost on the crowded street

Repeat Chorus

Right on
Right on over me

[Zeus]

Tears of God - Los Lobos

When it's up to you
To figure out what's right and wrong
It's someone else's parade
And yours is an unhappy song

When it hurts so bad
And you feel that you can't go on
Each day go by too fast
And the nights are so very long

[Chorus:]
You'll find out true
What mother said to you
That tears of God will show you the way
The way to turn

When your only escape
Is a cheap nickel wine
And the peace you need in your heart
Is so very hard to find

It's a stubborn life we lead
And there's never no rest
Trouble's out there looking for you
Even when you try your best

[Chorus]

Hide not your head
The way to turn
Hear what he once said
He'll show you the way
For there is a world for you and me
Where the blind too can see
Through the tears of God

The son of the maker said
This is my cross to bear
Taking off of our shoulders
Something we should have shared

[Chorus]

[Attero Dominatus]

Stormwarrior - Heading Northe

Wilde at hearte, defiant minde
Surrender is not my fate
I've cross'd the seas for all the years
And always have prevail'd

I've seen the tempest in darkest nights
I've faced the eyes of Thor
I've felt the icy colde winde blow
So mystical and raw

I've never fear'd the open battlefielde
(never fear'd the open sea)
I've always brav'd the wildest storms
(brav'd the wildest storms)
But when I close my eyes I see the northern skies
And I see the place where I was borne

We're heading northe, heading home
Where the northern son was borne
And the northewinde fills my hearte again
Withe the flame that miss'd so longe
We're heading northe, heading home
To the shores where we belonge
Njörð's daughters take me home again
To the ones we've left alone
We're heading northe

I've conquered oh the stormy seas
Laid waste the foreign shores
The scars of countless victories
revive the days of yore

I've never ...
