The ghost of Martin Niemöller
Haunts the halls of history
When they came for the communists
He said “It’s nothing to do with me”
When they came for the democrats
He had nothing to say
And when they came for the Jews
He just looked the other way
His silence didn’t save him
When they came for him as well
There was no one to speak out for him
Resistance had been quelled
What excuses would you tell yourself
If this ever happened to you?
Well I live in a city of heroes
I know what I would do
When they came for the immigrants
I got in their face
When they came for the refugees
I got in their face
When they came for the five-year-olds
I got in their face
When they came to my neighbourhood
I just got in their face
They use tear gas and pepper spray
Against our whistles and our phones
But in this city of heroes
We will protect our home
When they dragged people from their cars
I got in their face
When they took families from their homes
I got in their face
When they murdered our sister
I got in their face
When they murdered our brother
I still got in their face
In Dachau Martin Niemöller
Suffered for his complicity
But in this city of heroes
We learn the lessons of history
I will bear witness to terror
I will bear witness to tyranny
I will bear witness to murder
I will bear witness to fascism

Dattie Do - A Little Note to Self
Dattie Do - A Little Note to Self
Remember to drink water, 2 liters a day
Remember to walk out in the sun every day
Remember to go to bed before it’s too late
and by "too late" I mean eleven or eleven thirtyish
Remember to eat good but don’t forget to eat right
Remember to stay away from unnecessary fights
Remember that sometimes crying can ease your heart and mind
and then a laugh should be enough to make you feel alright
Remember don’t matter if it’s big or small
whatever you do, you give it your all.
and when in doubt don’t listen to the ego’s voices
For it’s known to give the worst of “advices”
Don’t forget to thank yourself for smiling today
Don’t forget to chill your beans when you make mistakes
Don’t forget that “love’s either in your heart or on its way”
But don’t forget it’s okay too that sometimes you forget
Remember don’t matter if it’s big or small
whatever you do, you give it your all.
and when in doubt don’t listen to the ego’s voices
For it’s known to give the worst of “advices”
Don’t forget to thank yourself for smiling today
Don’t forget to chill your beans when you make mistakes
Don’t forget that “love’s either in your heart or on its way”
But don’t forget it’s okay too that sometimes you forget

Alice in Chains - Heaven Beside You
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you... Hell within

Heaven beside you... Hell within
Like the coldest winter will

So there's problems in your life
That's f---ed up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Heaven beside you... Hell within
And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you

You're just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
OneRepublic - Counting Stars
[Intro]
Lately, I've been, I've been losin' sleep
Dreamin' about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been prayin' hard
Said no more countin' dollars, we'll be countin' stars
Yeah, we'll be countin' stars
[Verse 1]
I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye' shall find
[Refrain]
Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel something so right doin' the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong doin' the right thing
I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

I feel your love and I feel it burn
Down this river, every turn
Hope is our four-letter word
Make that money, watch it burn

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly

Thriving Ivory - Angels on the Moon
Do you dream, that the world will know your name
So tell me your name
Do you care, about all the little things or anything at all?
I wanna feel, all the chemicals inside I wanna feel
I wanna sunburn, just to know that I'm alive
To know I'm alive
Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon
Do you believe, in the day that you were born
Tell me do you believe?
Do you know, that everyday's the first of the rest of your life
Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon
This is to one last day in the shadows
And to know a brother's love
This is to New York City angels
And the rivers of our blood
This is to all of us, to all of us
Don't tell me if I'm dying, cause I don't wanna know
If I can't see the sun, maybe I should go
Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming, of angels on the moon
Where everyone you know, never leaves too soon
You can tell me all your thoughts, about the stars that fill polluted skies
And show me where you run to, when no one's left to take your side
But don't tell me where the road ends, cause I just don't wanna know, No I don't wanna know
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying
Don't tell me if I'm dying

Neon Trees - Everybody Talks
Hey baby won't you look my way?
I can be your new addiction
Hey baby what you gotta say?
All you're giving me is fiction
I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time
I found out that everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can't even chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Hey honey you could be my drug
You could be my new prescription
Too much could be an overdose
All this trash talk make me itching
Oh my my shit
Everybody talks, everybody talks
Everybody talks too much
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can't even chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Never thought I'd live to see the day
When everybody's words got in the way
Hey sugar show me all your love
All you're giving me is friction
Hey sugar what you gotta say?
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I can't even chitchat
Take me to your love shack
Mamas always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks
Everybody talks... back
It started with a whisper (everybody talks, everybody talks)
And that was when I kissed her (everybody talks, everybody talks)
Everybody talks

Snow Patrol - Called Out In The Dark
Snow Patrol - Called Out In The Dark
It's like we just can't help ourselves
Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called out to the towns
How the heavens they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain-washed histories
Well, we do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye, trained on a different star
This magic, this drunken semaphore, and I
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this your time
We are listening and were not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time
We are listening and we're not blind
This is your life, this is your time

Echosmith - Cool Kids
She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style
They all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind
Nothing in this world could ever bring them down
Yeah, they're invincible and she's just in the background
And she says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
He sees them talking with a big smile, but they haven't got a clue
Yeah, they're living the good life, can't see what he is going through
They're driving fast cars, but they don't know where they're going
In the fast lane, living life without knowing
And he says
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
And they said
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
I wish that I could be like the cool kids cuz all the cool kids, they seem to get it
I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids
Nothing More - Jenny
Verse 1
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply you still demand
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands
Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all
Verse 2
Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall
Cause
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear, life is short, my dear
See your mother here, her last painful year
I wish you only knew...
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need
To finally see
I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, Oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
x2
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
She stuck around for you (She stuck around for you)
She stuck around for you
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need
To finally see, she loved you through it all
x2
I'll be with you through it all
Metallica - The Memory Remains
Metallica - The Memory Remains
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd, cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
Hide and swallow mansions whole
Dim the light of an already faded primadonna
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Dance little tin goddess
Drift away
Fade away
Little tin goddess
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
Fortune, fame
Mirror vain
Gone insane
But the memory remains
Ash to ash (ash to ash)
Dust to dust (dust to dust)
Fade to black (fade to black)
The memory remains
Yeah
To this faded primadonna, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance little tin goddess dance
Da da da da da da da, da da da da da
(Say yes... or at least say hello (la da da....)
Say yes... or at least say hello (la da da....))
Bryan Wickham - Last Time You Go Alone
Bryan Wickham - Last Time You Go Alone
The sky looks like wildfire
Morning light and the cold wind blows
Your plane leaves and I see it fly
From the hills of Northern Caroline
All the miles I'll try to hide
In the picturesque of the morning sky
Hope it's the last time you go alone
That you go alone, oh
That you go alone, oh
Maybe you'll call again and
Your voice will ring out well and clear
Seasons change but they come around in a year
Snow melts when the flowers come
But you're miles away when you feel at home
Hope it's the last time you go alone
That you go alone, oh
That you go alone, oh
That you go alone, oh
The last time that you go alone
First Thessalonians Chapter One
1 PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the
Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ,
in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance;
as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith
to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God
from idols to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
First Thessalonians Chapter One - KJV
Proverbs Chapter 31
1 THE words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; he clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

Rocket Science - Being Followed
Rocket Science - Being Followed
I'm being followed by someone I don't know
He's in the shadows, I see him below
He's got weird eyes, you know, he looks like a freak
He's a man I would not like to meet
I've got these tingles up and down my spine
I feel his stare, he's right behind
I turn 'round fast just to see him clear
But all I find is the shadowy air
He's in my mind, didn't do no crime
He wants to bring me down just for being the clown
You know he walks right behind, he only talks in rhyme
He's really got me down, now that I've been found
He's my shadow man
Shadow man, shadow man, shadow man
I'm being followed by someone with a smile
He sneered at me back over half a mile
He's pigeon-toed, you know, he walks with a limp
I fear the worst, I can sense his grip
He's moving in so now I have to run
His icy eyes cut through me like a gun
I shed a tear as his hand meets my neck
I turn the corner, I'm away to the left
He's in my mind, didn't do no crime
He wants to bring me down just for being the clown
You know he walks right behind, he only talks in rhyme
He's really got me down, now that I've been found
He's my shadow man
Shadow man, shadow man, shadow man
Oh, c'mon!

We're safe and sound (hold your ground)
We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
We're safe and sound
Rob Thomas - Hold On Forever
Another night and here we are again
All our faults laid out ahead
Let it out, then let it right back in
All those voices in your head
And we both know everything
But we can't learn to leave
So I'll tell you what you need
First thing: We make you feel better
Next stop: We pull it all together
I'll keep you warm like a sweater
Take my hand, hold on forever
Just fall apart if you need to
I'm here and I won't leave you now
Don't look down
Hold on forever
Lay down all your troubles end to end
They could reach up to the stars
So many roads, you don't know where you've been
But you still know who you are
And if I seem preoccupied
I'm wondering what to do
So here's my recipe for you
First thing: We make you feel better
Next stop: We pull it all together
I'll keep you warm like a sweater
Take my hand, hold on forever
Just fall apart if you need to
I'm here and I won't leave you now
Don't look down
Hold on forever
And we both know everything
But we can't learn to leave
So I'll tell you what you need
First thing: We make you feel better
Next stop: We pull it all together
I'll keep you warm like a sweater
Take my hand
Hold on forever
Just fall apart if you need to
I'm here and I won't leave you now
Don't look down
Hold on forever
Just take my hand
Hold on forever
Hold on forever
Just take my hand
Hold on forever
Proverbs Chapter 30
1 THE words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal,
2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound
the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's
name, if thou canst tell?
5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reproved thee, and thou be found a liar.
7 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches: feed me with food convenient for me:
9 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain.
10 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things
say not, It is enough:
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea;
and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go thy forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood:
so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.

OneRepublic - Good Life
Woke up in London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Col-or-ado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's stuff that don't work now
We are god of stories but please tell me-e-e-e
What there is to complain about
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cuz hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
Smash Mouth - All Star
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Back to the rule and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name
Four letter word just to get me along
It's a difficulty and I'm bitin' on my tongue
And I, I keep stallin' and keepin' it together
People around gotta find somethin' to say now
Holdin' back everyday the same
Don't wanna be a loner
Listen to me, oh no
I never say anything at all
But with nothin' to consider they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me Her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me quiet
But I'm a riot

Always the same
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
I'll miss the catch if they throw me the ball
I'm the last chick standing up against the wall
Keep fa-fallin', these heels that keep me borin'
Getting clamped up and sittin' on the fence now
So alone all the time and I lock myself away
Listen to me, oh no
And though I'm dressed up out and all
With everything considered they forget my name (ame, ame, ame)
They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me quiet
But I'm a riot

Always the same
That's not my name

That's not my name

Are you callin' me darlin'?
Are you callin' me bird?
Are you callin' me darlin'?
Are you callin' me bird?
They call me hell
They call me Stacey
They call me her
They call me Jane
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
That's not my name
They call me quiet
But I'm a riot

That's not my name
That's not my name
So alone all the time and I lock myself away
Though I'm dressed up out and all
With everything considered they forget my name
KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Corrine Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
[Verse 1]
Three little birds sat on my window
And they told me I don't need to worry
Summer came like cinnamon, so sweet
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe sometimes
We've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change
The more they stay the same
Ooh, don't you hesitate
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Post-Chorus]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[Verse 2]
Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside (Just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you
Got to love that afro hairdo
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe sometimes
We feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same
The more they seem to change
Don't you think it's strange?
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Yeah!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Girl)
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Post-Chorus]
You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
[Bridge]
'Twas more than I could take
Pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake
I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realize
That you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Baby, ooh!)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Uh, let your hair down)
put your records on,girl put your records on,
put your records on lyrics,put your records on sped up,
records on,love put your records on,girls put your records on,
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams (Hope you get your dreams)
Just go ahead, let your hair down (Baby, let your hair down)
[Chorus]
Girl, put your records on
Tell me your favorite song (Yeah, oh, go)
You go ahead, let your hair down (Hey, hey)
Sapphire and faded jeans
I hope you get your dreams (Sapphire faded jeans)
Just go ahead, let your hair down
[Outro]
Ooh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow
Jack Johnson - Upside Down
Who´s to say what´s impossible?
Well, they forgot this world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread it's wings
There´s no stopping curiosity
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I´ll find the things they say just can´t be found
I´ll share this love I find with everyone
We´ll sing and dance to mother nature´s songs
I don´t want this feeling to go away
Who´s to say I can´t do everything?
Well, I can try, and as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren´t always just what they seem
I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I´ll find the things they say just can´t be found
I´ll share this love I find with everyone
We´ll sing and dance to mother nature´s songs
This world keeps spinning
And there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning
Round and round and upside down
Who´s to say what´s impossible and can´t be found?
I don´t want this feeling to go away
Please don´t go away
Please don´t go away
Please don´t go away
Is this how it´s supposed to be?
Is this how it´s supposed to be?
John Mayer - Waiting On the World to Change
John Mayer - Waiting On the World to Change
[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it
[Chorus]
So we keep waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
[Verse 2]
Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
But when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want
[Chorus]
That's why we're waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
And we're still waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
[Outro]
Now we keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (Waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change

Jason Mraz - The Remedy (I won't worry)
Well, I saw fireworks from the freeway
And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away
'Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
Well, something on the surface, it stings
I said, something on the surface, well, it kinda makes me nervous
Who says that you deserve this? And what kind of god would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well, if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says, the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
Well, I heard two men talking on the radio
In a crossfire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
While they were counting down the ways to stab the brother in the
Be right back after this, the unavoidable kiss
Where the minty fresh death breath
Is sure to outlast this catastrophe, dance with me
'Cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy
The remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
When I fall in love (i fall in love)
I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun (turn off the sun)
But I'm still gonna shine
And I'll tell you why
Because the remedy is the experience
This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious
This is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
The rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
When it all amounts to nothing in the end
I ('cause I won't)
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
(I won't worry my life)
I (and I won't)
I won't worry my life away (no)
I ('cause I won't, and I won't, and I won't)
I won't worry my life away
Hey, oh, oh
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
I (I won't, I won't, I won't)
I won't worry my life away
New Radicals - Someday We'll Know
New Radicals - Someday We'll Know
Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
Don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
What ever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety seventh time tonight
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Someday we'll know
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash into the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me
Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
Seeing you in February was great
Cliches all come true 'time heals all wounds'
I went to get us our ninth drink
And you ran out the door with another guy
I woke up on the floor with my shoes on
A smile on my face and I didn't even care
Proverbs Chapter 29
1 HE, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
3 Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.
4 The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.
5 A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.
6 In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
8 Scornful men bring a city into a snare: but wise men turn away wrath.
9 If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest.
10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
12 If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.
13 The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.
14 The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.
17 Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19 A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.
20 Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
21 He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.
22 An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression.
23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.
24 Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not.
25 The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
26 Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
27 An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten
I am unwritten, can't read my mind,
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand,
Ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
I break tradition, sometimes my tries
Are outside the line
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes,
But I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Ellie Goulding - Lights
I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In an unlocked place
The only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Home, home
Home, home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Home, home
Home, home

Banners - Ghosts
I hear noises
Awoken from my sleep
I'm haunted by the thoughts, I creep
If the earth quakes down, buildings fall
I'm pulling pictures off, from our bones, till you say
Here, here I am
Oh, and here, here I am
Oh, oh
All the ghosts
They float, float around us
How they turned all our dreams into dust
We saved your mother
But darling then there was no spark left for us
We won the battle, but lost the heart
And now I know that here, here I am
Oh and here, here I am
Oh, hard to believe
It's said and done, hard to believe
It's not dead and gone
I want to believe
All is well that ends well
But I just can't convince myself
Can't touch the stars, or make them shine
Fight the tide, until the day we die
Can't touch the stars, can't make them shine
But you know I'll try
Can't touch the stars, or make them shine
Fight the tide, until the day we die
Can't touch the stars, can't make them shine
But you know I'll try
For you I'll try
Gotye - Smoke and Mirrors
You're a fraud and you know it
But it's too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You've got 'em going
And you're careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
It's like magic
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
Anyone would do the same
So now that you've arrived well you wonder
What is it that you've done to make the grade
And should you do the same?
(Is that too easy?)
Are you only trying to please them
Will they see then-
You're desperate to deliver
Anything that could give you
A sense of reassurance
When you look in the mirror
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
You put on quite a show
Mother
Are you watching?
You're a fraud and you know it
And every night and day you take the stage
And it always entertains
You're giving pleasure
And that's admirable you tell yourself
And so you'd gladly sell yourself
To others
Mother
Are you watching?
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
Yeah you put on quite a show
Static Dress - human props
Standing face to face
The world above
With a warrant to save themselves
Chasing stars
When all you do is play the part
No room for wasting time
Plastic artists the ladder climb
Monthly flavour id deny
Exploitive cherry is the subtle scum silent choice
Lying since who knows when or lie to make it fair
Would they even care?
If I saw through my naivety
This buildings burning yet they just stand there
So calculated So precise
Stop down playing my pain
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals
Lying never felt this good
It’s gone way too far
Say it so straight faced
As I’m burning
Myself to death in your hollow morgue
But never touched the art you proudly put on display
House burnt down and we’re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Say something
Convincing
then take from me
Lying never felt so good
Criminals
Straight criminal
Flash back
Repeat the feeling
Tongue tied
By my own regret
Flash back to the both of us
With curtains closed
I think it’s best we let it go
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Say something
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Say something
Lying never felt this good
it’s gone way too…far
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Say something Say something
Lying never felt this good
Say something Say something
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Criminals
Straight criminals
Lying never felt this good
House burnt down now we’re screaming
Say something
Convincing
No secret safe
Lying never felt this good
Criminals
Straight criminal
Astrid S - It's Ok if You Forget Me
Astrid S - It's Ok if You Forget Me
Two weeks and I wait ‘til the feeling hits
Maybe I just haven’t let it sink in
For three years we were living together
Held me like you’d hold me forever
Didn’t think that heartbreak would feel like this
From everything to nothing at all
From every day to never at all
And everyone says that I should be sad
Is it normal that:
I don’t feel sorry for myself
Care if your hands touch somebody else
Wouldn’t get jealous if you’re happy
It’s ok if you forget me
I don’t feel empty now that you’re gone
Does that mean it didn’t mean nothing all?
But I’ll tell you what the worst is
It’s the way it doesn’t hurt
When I wish it did
Patience is a thing that I’ve learnt from you
That some things can feel wrong even though they’re true
Went through all the hard times together
Kept me calm when I’d lose my temper
I’m just really grateful that I had you
flora cash - Soul Mate
feels like we’ve lived 100 lives before
together and then decided on one more
here on earth where everything is cruel
‘cause no one knows that this is just a school
for what it’s worth, i’d die with you again
100 more times multiplied by 10
i hope i’ll always have you in my mind
so that i know to find you every time
soul mate
soul mate
soul mate
won’t you dance here with me while it grows late
put your head
on my chest
that’s your safe place
we’ll fall deeper in love every day
from life
unto life
and for always
i’ll be there when you need me around
when night finally comes
and the leaves have fallen from the tree
baby you’ll have me
soul mate
maybe there’s not a brightness in this dark
other than what is burning in this heart
but if we fight to keep this thing alive
pretty sure there’s no end to us in sight
i’ll follow you into whatever is next
or you can follow me, whatever’s best
but first let’s dance the dance that lovers do
before we go to sleep and start anew
i promise you that i’ll find a way
to give you hope, to keep you close and safe
keep you no matter come what may
and then we’ll sleep, in linen sheets of gray
twenty one pilots - The Hype
Sometimes I feel cold, even paralyzed,
My interior world needs to sanitize,
I've got to step through or I'll dissipate,
I'll record my step through for my basement tapes.
Nice to know my kind will be on my side,
I don't believe the hype.
And you know you're a terrible sight,
But you'll be just fine,
Just don't believe the hype.
Yeah they might be talking behind your head,
Your exterior world can step off instead,
It might take some friends and a warmer shirt,
But you don't get thick skin without getting burnt.
No, I don't know which way I'm going,
But I can hear my way around.
Nichole Nordeman - Dear Me
Dear Me …
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
Dear Me …
There are some things that you should know
It's not my intention to embarrass or to shame you
What's inside the rear-view mirror is closer than it appears
We do the best that we know how, with what we have been given
And the difference between you and I is, I've been given time
In time, you'll see
Dear Me …
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
Some things are not as simple as we said
Remember when we thought there were a handful of some magic words to pray
A guarantee and a down payment on a mansion
Remember all the rules we made about the Body and the Blood
The hoops we made them jump through
Though He offers it to everyone
I'm so sorry
Do you remember now the things I said I thought that I deserved
My flag, and safety, a place to learn
The things I know I didn't earn
And bless their hearts, I'm sure it's hard
But handouts don't help anyone
And all the talk about the system
I sure hope someone can fix them
I said those things
Dear Me …
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
You'll see, you're gonna take the long way
And there is nothing you could do or say to separate you
From the love of God who made you just exactly as He meant to
And you cannot imagine all the places you'll see Jesus
But you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasn't supposed to go
So, go!.. Go!..
And hold all the mothers, whose babies bleed from bullet holes
And feel all the hunger, the bellies and the bones
Shout for the prisoner, cry for justice, loud and long
And march with the victims, as Jesus marches on
And sit at all the tables, 'cause Jesus eats with everyone
And dance to the music, if you can't sing its native tongue
And cry for the wombs, the mothers and the empty arms
And hold high the warriors, fighting now for freedoms' song
And love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
And love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
Love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Love, love, love, love, love
Like [you have been?]
Love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love!
Love, love, love, love, love
His name is love
Love, love, love, love, love
Dear Me …
You did not learn this in a day or two or three
So ask a lot of questions
But Jesus loves us, this I know
And there are no exceptions

Dean Lewis - I Am Getting Well
Dean Lewis - I Am Getting Well
The sun comes up,
but I don't feel it on my face.
The leaves start falling
but the seasons never change
and my brother says come out
but I just stay away.
And indulge in the loneliness
to avoid all the pain.
Now it's dark when it's light
and the spark in my eyes
burning low I should call up my friends.
I've been trying my best
to get our of this bed,
but I think there's something wrong
with my head.
Oh I break everything that is good
'cause I cannot see the good inside.
And trust me if I could I would
change the chemicals inside my mind.
But it's a long long way
up that hill
past all the dead grass
and the thoughts that could kill
It's a long long way up from hell
But I, I am getting well.
My father calls me up and asks me how I am.
He says that he'll stop by
if I ever need a hand and I
take that call but I don't talk for very long
I always hang up first
and tell him please don't worry mum
'Cause it's dark when it's light
and it's hard but I'll try
to be better than I was back then.
And I'll run out of breath
'til I'm out of this mess.
God knows I'm trying my best.
Oh I break everything that is good
'cause I cannot see the good inside.
And trust me if I could I would
change the chemicals inside my mind.
But it's a long long way
up that hill
past all the dead grass
and the thoughts that could kill
It's a long long way up from hell
But I, I am getting well.
Even if I still need help,
I am getting well.
Even if it's hard to tell,
I am getting well.
Lukas Graham - Love Someone
There are days
I wake up and I pinch myself
You're with me, not someone else
And I'm scared, yeah, I'm still scared
That it's all a dream
'Cause you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time
'Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
When you say
You love the way I make you feel
Everything becomes so real
Don't be scared, no, don't be scared
'Cause you're all I need
And you still look perfect as days go by
Even the worst ones, you make me smile
I'd stop the world if it gave us time
'Cause when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
All my life
I thought it'd be hard to find
The one, 'til I found you
And I find it bittersweet
'Cause you gave me something to lose
But when you love someone
You open up your heart
When you love someone
You make room
If you love someone
And you're not afraid to lose 'em
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
You probably never loved someone like I do
Ren - Love Music - acoustic version
Ba-da-da-da-da-dau
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh
Da-da-da-aha
And now this is what I love and I can't stop lovin'
Go out dancin' from 10 till six in the morning
Try and cut to the strangers all night
And then wakin' up with the best memories of your life
For its the moment when the music hits my soul, lifts
And smile radiates the simple joy and the bliss
My life is this; chasing a dream to make it big
I dream of playing festivals and being top of that list
I dream of ten thousand people singing all my lyrics
I dream of sitting backstage with Stevie Wonder, sipping drinks
Dream of making an album called "The Greatest Hits"
I dream of watching records flying off the shelves to the kids
It's life that I want to be livin' so I'll be giving mind, body, soul
Until I'm frickin' seeing this vision
I'm feeling this mission, feels like I was born to be spittin'
And so I stay so dedicated like an ancient tradition
Ohh
Be yourself and you'll be okay, I know this life can be tough
But a smile is just a button away, press play with just one touch
Whenever my skies turn to grey and life starts getting too much
I turn on and tune out
I love this music so much
Ba-da-da-da-da-dau
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Oh yeah-yeah
Da-da-da-aha
I don't ever want to end up in a nine to five
Working a full time job just to try and get by
If I ever gave anyone any advice it would be to follow your dreams
Until the day that you die
And I'm not fussed about being rich
Either, as long as I can live the way I want
Keep your mansion, keep your beamer
I don't want them
As long as I can live happily
And earn a comfortable life for my family and me
And be free
For life is never ever set in stone
That's why I never followed anybody's rules but my own
I always did things through love and respect for myself
But if you bring down, then you're affecting yourself
But if you bring others up, to places they couldn't reach
Then your rewards would be much more than you could earn in a week
And your potential has no bounds, please, take it from me
That's why I swear that you could fly if you'd only believe
Ohh
Be yourself and you'll be okay, I know this life can be tough
But a smile is just a button away, press play with just one touch
Whenever my skies turn to grey and life starts getting too much
I turn on and tune out
I love this music so much
I be the lyrical syllable killer, the blood spiller hahah
I be the baddest on the scene, call me the godfather
My head be so far in the clouds that I can see the stars
And when I'm spittin' the rhythm precisionally take it much further
This is the new shit
Ra-ta-ta-ta
I refuse it with lyrics, use it, mix it up
And god this music takes me so high, I can taste it
The snare and the bass kick
Feel it in my chest coming up from the basement
Ohh
Be yourself and you'll be okay, I know this life can be tough
But a smile is just a button away, press play with just one touch
Whenever my skies turn to grey and life starts getting too much
I turn on and tune out
I love this music so much
Ba-da-da-da-da-dau
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-dau
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh
Ba-da-da-da-da-dau
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Oh yeah-yeah
Da-da-da-aha
I love it
Alice Merton - Ignorance is Bliss
Alice Merton - Ignorance is Bliss
Oh, oh, oh, oh
As I drew your name on the water
Oh I threw my heart in the sand
If you saw what hides in the shadows
Would you try and understand?
Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
My hopes drown in the ocean.
Breaks me when I look into your eyes
If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I’m standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil’s in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be
Oh, oh, oh, oh
So I drew your name on the water
And I threw my heart in the sand
If you saw what hides in the shadows
Would you try and understand?
Why do you stand there like a sculpture?
My hopes drown in the ocean.
Breaks me when I look into your eyes
If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I’m standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil’s in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be
Oh, oh, oh, oh
If ignorance is bliss
And all I get is this
Then I’m standing here
Right now, where I wanna be
The devil’s in the kiss
If this is all it is
At least I got you right here where I wanna be
Oooh oh ohh oh
Oooh ooh oh ooh ooh ooh ooh
The stakes are what it is
You'll be my greatest wish
The devil's in the kiss
The stakes are what it is
You'll be my greatest wish
The devil's in the kiss

DROPKICK MURPHYS - "THE BIG MAN"
DROPKICK MURPHYS - "THE BIG MAN"
Well, I knew I liked The Big Man
When he kidnapped Adam Corolla
And I knew I liked The Big Man
when he ripped the chains off Kid Rock
And I knew I liked The Big Man
When he shot me with a BB
In front of 15,000 people
In a Warped Tour parking lot
So raise your Pringles cans up high
To the legend, the lunatic
A giant, defiant there till the end
He’s everybody's favorite west coast friend
So raise your cans up high (raise ‘em high)
Let’s have a toast to our favorite guy
He’ll fight the system till the day he dies
He’s The Big Man from Pennywise
Well, we all know he loves the chaos
But around us, he’s fairly tame
Yeah, The Big Guy’s wicked generous
He brought Evan to a World Series game
Stolen cars and flaming Christmas trees
Off his back, he’d give you his shirt
You see he’s all about the good times
And in most cases nobody gets hurt
So raise your Pringles cans up high
To the legend, the lunatic
A giant, defiant there till the end
He’s everybody's favorite west coast friend
So raise your cans up high (raise ‘em high)
Let’s have a toast to our favorite guy
He’ll fight the system till the day he dies
He’s The Big Man from Pennywise
If you need a hotel room wrecked
Or a bandmate thrown through a drum set
Or a cocky rockstar bullied to humility
Guess what? We got a guy for you
You see, he’s fair, but he don’t ---k around
He’ll set you straight, he won’t let you down
To know him is to love him or fear him
Depends on what the case may be
So raise your cans up high (raise ‘em high)
Let’s have a toast to our favorite guy
He’ll fight the system till the day he dies
He’s The Big Man from Pennywise
He’ll fight the system till the day he dies
He’s The Big Man from Pennywise
Harrison Storm - Run
Lost and broke, I feel like we can't get anywhere
Enough to feel like leaving
Hopeless, but I know that this can't be everything
We don't need this heartache
We could break away, if you really want to run
Hard to keep the pace, when you're staring at the sun
Let's hide away from it, try escape from it
Let's hide away, if you really want to run
With you, I see hope, when before I didn't care
Now, I know I need you
I need you, I need you
Now, I know I need you
We could break away, if you really want to run
Hard to keep the pace, when you're staring at the sun
Let's hide away from it, try escape from it
Let's hide away, if you really want to run
Maybe it's freedom
A chance to keep breathing
Maybe we're lonely
Maybe it's freedom
A chance to keep breathing
Maybe we're lonely
Maybe it's freedom
A chance to keep breathing
Maybe we're lonely
Maybe it's freedom
A chance to keep breathing
Maybe we're lonely, ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Maybe we could break away, if you really want to run
Hard to keep the pace, when you're staring at the sun
Let's hide away from it, try escape from it
Let's hide away, if you really want to run
Barlow Girl - Enough
All of You is more than enough for
All of me for every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You
Is more than enough
You are my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know
You're my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You're my coming King You're everything
Still more awesome than I know
Proverbs 27
1 BOAST not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity:
for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
22 Though thou shouldest bray a fool in a mortar among wheat with a pestle, yet will not his foolishness depart from him.
23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds.
24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation?
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
26 And thou shalt have goats' milk for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
Proverbs 27 - KJV
