The Prodigy - Wake Up Call

It's been a long time but I just can't wake up

Back on tour, one, two, three, we all back on four you better wake up

You gotta feel me

Iron Maiden - The Educated Fool

I am an educated fool

So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do

About this awkward situation

That's been forced down right upon me

As I'm walking down into

On my own into the Valley of life

Got a lifetime of experience

Yeah I've got so much to give

Open the page at chapter one

Could this just be that life's just begun

Forever within your darker thoughts

Reflecting on everything you've been taught

Never felt this way before

Seems that somebody's just opened the door

To the book of life... or is it death

Is there ever anyway out

Someone's looking down on me

To the very inner core of my soul

They won't tell me what they see

But I really want to know

I want to leave my life on my own

I want to lift the unturned stone

I want to walk right into the fire

I want to live out all my desires

I want to go and see the fire burn

I want to see and feel my world turn

I want to know what more there's to learn

I want to pass the point of no return

Do you really wanna be

Just another one statistic or feel

That you really should aspire

That you really do deserve more

Do you ever really feel

That you have so much potential inside

What you really have to give

Could be realised so much more

I want to leave my life on my own

I want to lift the unturned stone

I want to walk right into the fire

I want to live out all my desires

I want to go and see the fire burn

I want to see and feel my world turn

I want to know what more there's to learn

I want to pass the point of no return

Time will flow

And I will follow

Time will go

But I will follow

I want to feel what life's like respond

I want to meet my father beyond

I want to walk right into the light

I want to feel no fear but delight

I want to leave my life on my own

I want to lift the unturned stone

I want to walk right into the fire

I want to live out all my desires

Time will flow

And I will follow

Time will go

But I will follow

The educated fool

The Cure - Fire In Cairo

Slowly fading blue

The eastern hollows catch

The dying sun

Night-time follows

Silence and black

Mirror pool mirrors

The lonely place

Where I meet you

See your head

In the fading light

And through the dark

Your eyes shine bright

And burn

Like fire

Burn like fire in Cairo

Burn like fire

Burn like fire in Cairo

Shifting crimson veil

Silken hips slide

Under my hand

Swollen lips whisper

My name

And I yearn

You take me in your arms

And start to burn

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

Then the heat disappears

And the mirage

Fades away

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

FIREINCAIRO

Burn like a fire in Cairo

Burn like a

Fire

Blaze like a fire in Cairo

Blaze like a

Fire

Flare

Burn like fire

Burn like

Fire in Cairo

The Cramps - The Way I Walk

The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way i talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby and I'll go hog wild!

The way I love is just the way I love
Come on and be the one I'm thinking of
Touch me baby, it feels so good
Sometimes I think I wanna but I don't know if I should

The way I walk is just the way I walk
The way I talk is just the way i talk
The way I smile is just the way I smile
Touch me baby and I'll go hog wild!

The way I love is just the way I love
Come on and be the one I'm thinking of
Touch me baby, ooh, it feels so good
Sometimes I think I wanna but I don't know if I should

The way you love me's got to cramp my style
Oh, little baby, I would say bye-bye
Love me, baby, love me right
Love me morning, noon and night

(originally recorded by Jack Scott)

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

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... Hell within

And you think you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life

That's fucked 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

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... Hell within

And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life

That's fucked up, and I'm not blind

I'm just see through faded, super jaded

And out of my mind

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... Hell within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... Hell within

And you know you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life

That's fucked up, but You're not blind

You're just see through faded, overrated

And out of your mind

Paradise Lost - Darker Thoughts

Drifting through loss

we escape from the cost of the pain

The healing through years

so obscured by the tears and the strain

But this one-way street you’re on

You’ll never be fulfilled

And this one-way street you’re on

Is gonna get you killed

Healing.The lost,so delusional hollow and vague

ascending through fear as emotionless dreams of the grave

but this one-way street you’re on

You’ll never be fulfilled

And this one-way street you’re on

Is gonna get you killed

Onto a higher ground, a youthful lie, no warning, death

Hiding is truth in all us

Another fired down, do or die it’s just despair

Hiding the truth in all us

God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill

God asks not.

Godless sworn to kill, Godless sworn to kill

God asks not.

With inner peace gone, you pray

All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay

With inner peace gone you’ve paid

All those darker thoughts are coming back to stay

Godless sworn to kill

Annihilation

Godless sworn to kill

Annihilation

God asks not to kill, God asks not to kill

God asks not.

Godless born to kill, Godless born to kill

God asks not.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen

This world is beautiful

Held within its stars

I keep it in my heart

The stars are your eyes

I loved them right from the start

A world so beautiful

And I keep it

In my heart

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Slowly twirling, twirling, all around

Glowing circle in my hand

Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Slowly twirling, twirling, all around

A ghosteen dances in my hand

Dancing, dancing, dancing, all around

There goes the moonlit man

Got a suitcase in his hand

He’s moving on down the road

Things tend to fall apart

Starting with his heart

He kisses you lightly and he leaves

Leaves your sleeping body

Curled and dreaming around your smile

Around your smile

The three bears watch the TV

They age a lifetime, O Lord

Mama Bear holds the remote

Papa Bear he just floats

And Baby Bear he has gone

Gone to the moon in a boat

Oh in a boat

I’m speaking about love now

How the lights of love go down

You’re in the back room washing his clothes

Love’s like that you know

It’s like a tidal flow

And the past with its fierce undertow

Won’t ever let us go

Won’t ever let you go

If I could move the night I would

And I would turn the world around if I could

There is nothing wrong with loving something

You can’t hold in your hand

You’re sitting on the edge of the bed

Smoking and shaking your head

Well there’s nothing wrong with loving things

That cannot even stand

Well, there goes your moony man

With his suitcase in his hand

Every road is lined with animals

That rise from their blood and walk

Well  the moon won’t get a wink of sleep

If I stay all night and talk

If I stay all night and talk

The Sisters Of Mercy - On The Wire

Now the ground comes up too fast

Too fast to meet you

In clouds of dust erupting

Thick around your feet, be careful

In the rubble in shrouds in waiting

Wall to wall to where you tread

Now the quick and the dead and the same old

Fates come calling cards away

How do you think it came to pass you

By the hard way by desire

How do you think it came to pass you by?

On the wire

I don't sleep so I don't dream so I don't

Wake up frightened

Everything is what it seems if

You look deep enough tonight and

See ...

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not fall

On the wire, on the wire, on the wire I will not ....

Iron Maiden - Shadows Of The Valley

Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I follow
Walking in a dark world that’s been
Kissed with sadness
Without sunlight things are born
To the dead of nightmares
Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness

Listen closely to the raven’s call
Praying hard for our world not to end
Try as might to make sense of it all
Will it be for the penance of men
Follow north for the call of the wild
Look all out for a small wayward child
Lay in fear as the dark raven crows
Look for guidance from the one who knows
He lived on this earth for a time and a half
Playing a tune to the old man’s laugh
The fear that’s inside the men of the oath
In the script of the book that he wrote

Ask them the questions
Tell them no lies
A cry for freedom
Praying that they wouldn’t die
Mind over matter
Cry over sins
Their lives are over now
Ended before they begin

As the raven again passes by
I can hear all the wake fathers cry
That the first born of all men will die
That their lives will be taken from them
Face the danger a battle of wills
Strength and courage a cure for all ills
We believe in that thou shall not kill
But others are ready to spill
The hearts of all men since beginning of time
Living with temptation
Wanting and crime
A walk in the shadow of the valley of death
Knowing I’ll take my last breath

Ask them the questions
Tell them no lies
A cry for freedom
Praying that they wouldn’t die
Mind over matter
Cry over sins
Their lives are over now
Ended before they begin

The hearts of all men since beginning of time
Living with temptation
Wanting and crime
A walk in the shadow of the valley of death
Knowing I’ll take my last breath

Ask them the questions
Tell them no lies
A cry for freedom
Praying that they wouldn’t die
Mind over matter
Cry over sins
Their lives are over now
Ended before they begin

Into the valley of death fear no evil
We will go forward no matter the cost
Into the valley of death follow me now
Bring me your souls and I’ll make it our last

Ask them the questions
Tell them no lies
A cry for freedom
Praying that they wouldn’t die
Mind over matter, cry over sins
Their lives are over now
Ended before they begin

Body Count - 6 In Tha Morning

6 in tha morning, police at my door

Fresh Adidas squeak across the bathroom floor

Out my back window I make my escape

Didn't even get a chance to grab my old school tape

Mad with no music, but happy cause free

And the streets to a player is the place to be

Got a knot in my pocket, weighing at least a grand

Gold on my neck, my pistols close at hand

I'm a self-made monster of the city streets

Remotely controlled by hard hip-hop beats

But just living in the city is a serious task

Didn't know what the pigs wanted, didn't have time to ask

Word

Seen my homeboys cooling way, way out

Told 'em 'bout my morning cold bugged 'em out

Shot a little dice till my knees got sore

Kicked around some stories 'bout the night before

Posse to the corner where the fly girls chill

Threw action at some freaks until one bitch got ill

She started acting silly, simply would not quit

Called us all punk pussies, said we all weren't shit

As we walked over to her, ho continued to speak

So we beat the bitch down in the goddamn street

Just living in the city is a serious task

Bitch didn't know what hit her, didn't have time to ask

Word

Continued clocking freaks with immense posterior

Rolling in a Blazer with a Louis interior

Solid gold, the ride was raw

Bust a left turn was on Crenshaw

Sean-e-Sean was the driver, known to give freaks hell

Had a beeper goin' off like a high school bell

Looked in the mirror, what did we see?

Fucking blue light: L.A.P.D.

Pigs searched our car, their day was made

Found an Uzi, .44 and a hand grenade

Threw me in the county high-power block

No freaks to see, no beats to rock

Didn't want trouble but the shit must fly

Squabbled this sucker, shanked 'em in the eye

Just living in the county is a serious task

Nigga didn't know what hit him, didn't have time to ask

Word

Back on the streets after five and a deuce

Seven years later, but still had the juice

My homeboy Hen Gee put me up the track

Told me E's rolling Villain, BJ's got the sack

Bruce is a giant - Nat C's clocking dough

Be-Bop's a pimp, my old freak's a ho

The batter rams rolling, rocks are the thing

Life has no meaning and money is king

Then he looked at me slowly and Hen had to grin

He said, "Man, you out early, we thought you got ten"

Opened his safe, kicked me down with long cash

Knew I would get busy, he didn't waste time to ask

I bought a Benz with the money, the rest went on clothes

Went to the strip, started pimping the hoes

My hair had grew long on my seven year stay

When I got it done, on my shoulders it lay

Hard from the joint, but fly to my heart

I didn't want trouble, but the shit had to start

Out with my crew, some punks got loud

Shotgun blasts echoed through the crowd

Six punks hit, two punks died

All causalities was applied to their side

Human lives has to pass just for talking much trash

We didn't know who they were, no one had the time to ask

Word

Pearl Jam - Quick Escape

Reconnaissance on the corner
In the old world not so far
First we took an aeroplane
Then a boat to Zanzibar

Queen cranking on the blast
And mercury did rise
Come along where we all belonged
You were yours and I was mine

Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE
Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE

Crossed the border to Morocco
Kashmir then Marrakech
The lengths we had to go to then
To find a place Trump hadn't fucked up yet

Living life on the back porch
Lifting rocks to make a wage
Every sunset paid attention to
Not a starry night went to waste

Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE
Had to,... QUICK ESCAPE

And here we are, the red planet
Craters across the skyline
A sleep sack in a bivouac
And a Kerouac sense of time

And we think about the old days
Of green grass, sky and red wine
Should’ve known, so fragile
And avoided this one way flight

Green Day - Sugar Youth

What are the symptoms of our happiness and Civil War?
Mano y mano in the stereo without a cure
I've got a fever a non-believer and it's killing me
Like a high school loser that will never ever ever ever fuck the prom queen


I got the shakes and I'm on fire
I got a feeling and it's dangerous
I'm gonna dance to something wild
I got a feeling and I need a rush
All hell is breaking loose and heaven only knows
I don't wanna be a Romeo
I don't wanna be a Romeo
I don't wanna be a Romeo, no

I'm hearing voices up inside my head
(Oh what you thinkin'?)
I need a sugar fix it's making me sick
(Oh what you drinkin'?)
I wanna drink all the poison in the water
I wanna choke like a dog that's on a collar
I am the child of coyote and bandito
I'm drinking whiskey by the river doing yeyo!

I got the shakes and I'm on fire
I got a feeling and it's dangerous
I'm gonna dance to something wild
I got a feeling and I need a rush
All hell is breaking loose and heaven only knows
I don't wanna be a Romeo
I don't wanna be a Romeo
I don't wanna be a Romeo, no

Beck - Uneventful Days

Uneventful days, uneventful nights

Living in that dark, waiting for the light

Caught up in these never-mending battle lines

Everything has changed, nothing here feels right

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know it's gone

I know

I know, I know it's gone (Ooh, yeah)

Never-ending days, never-ending nights

Everything I say, I know I can't get right

It means definitely more to me than life

You might know my name, you don't know my mind

I don't even know what's wrong (The days without you)

Ever since you've been gone

Only ten minutes to go (Leave me cold and alone)

I don't even know you now

I don't know where you're from (From my world without you, no)

I don't know where you belong

I don't wanna hurt you (No, no, no)

I don't wanna let you go (Gonna leave me alone)

Uneventful days, uneventful nights

Living in that dark, waiting for the light

Nothing you could say could make it come to light

I don't have a way to make you change your mind

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know it's gone

I know

I know, I know it's gone (Yeah)

Never-ending days, never-ending nights

Time is moving slow, I don't even mind

It means definitely more to me than life

Got nowhere to go, got no will to fight

Haven't said a word now

Money getting thin now, I'm eating now

Have another round of drink now

Nothing but a low down, let down

You better not get down, left out

What am I really damn thinkin' 'bout?

Been in and out of love all night

Never-ending days, never-ending nights

Everything I do, you know I don't do right

I've been waiting around all night

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Dead Can Dance - The Writing On My Father's Hand

...

Editors - No Sound But The Wind

We can never go home

We no longer have one

I'll help you carry the load

I'll carry you in my arms

The kiss of the snow

The crescent moon above us

Our blood is cold

And we're alone

But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire

We will keep it alight together

Help me to carry the fire

It will light our way forever

If I say shut your eyes

If I say look away

Bury your face in my shoulder

Think of a birthday

The things you put in your head

They will stay here forever

Our blood is cold

And we're alone, love

But I'm alone with you

Help me to carry the fire

We will keep it alight together

Help me to carry the fire

It will light our way forever

Help me to carry the fire

We will keep it alight together

Now help me to carry the fire

It will light up our way forever

If I say shut your eyes

If I say shut your eyes

Bury me in surprise

Where I say shut your eyes

Help me to carry the fire

We will keep it alight together

Help me carry the fire

It will light our way forever

Snow Patrol - Set The Fire To The Third Bar (Reworked)

The Sisters of Mercy - Lights

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
Ignore the voices, discard the day
For the brand new darkness, for the bright new way
Hit
There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand
Emerald signal, the green on black, the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades, but there's a
Voice in the distance, quiet and clear, saying
Something that I never ever wanted to hear

There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand, I see the
Emerald, see the signal, see the green on black, I see the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I'll never be seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain and I'm
Happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain, rain, rain, I'm happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain

The Chemical Brothers - The Pills Won't Help You Now

Thought we were going
And go up the field a ways
And join all the other living souls
But you never came

Robbed of your fortune
You get disappointments in life
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright

In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Once you're crying

Thought you were going
Go up the field a ways
Join all the other living souls
But you never came

Robbed of your fortune
You get disappointments in life
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright

In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Once you cry

Robbed of your fortune
You get disappointments in life
You're probably poisoning your body
I hope you're alright

In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Once you cry

In a moment of fear
You dig in your heels
The pills won't help you now
Once you cry.

I'd follow you into the sun

I held your hand

You held me then

I went outside

You never saw me again

They lay me there

And there I lay

TOOL - Descending

Free fall through our midnight

This epilogue of our own fable

Heedless in our slumber

Floating nescient we free fall through this boundlessness

This madness of our own making

Falling isn't flying

Floating isn't infinite

Come our end suddenly

All hail our lethargy

Concede suddenly

To the quickened

Dissolution pray

We mitigate the ruin

Calling all to arms and order

Drifting through this boundlessness

This madness of our own making

Sound our dire reveille

Rouse all from our apathy

Lest we cease to be

Stir us from our

Wanton slumber

Mitigate our ruin

Call us all to arms and order

Sound the dread alarm through the primal body

Sound the reveille

To be or not to be

Rise

Stay the grand finale

Stay the reading of our

Swan song and epilogue

One drive to stay alive

Elementary. Muster every fiber

Mobilize

Stay alive

Stir us from our

Wanton slumber

Mitigate our ruin

Call us all to arms and order

Lana Del Rey - Love Song

In the car, in the car, in the backseat I'm your baby
We go fast, we go so fast we don't move
I believe in a place you take me
Make you real proud of your baby
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burning through you
In your car, I'm a star and I'm burning through you

Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lying on your chest
In my party dress
I'm a fucking mess, but I

Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, you's the best
Passed the test and yes
Now I'm here with you and I

Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

Dream a dream, use the scene, touch me anywhere 'cause I'm your baby
Grab my waist, don't waste any part
I believe that you see me for who I am
So spill my clothes on the floor of your new car
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?
Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are?

Oh, be my once in a lifetime
Lying on your chest
In my party dress
I'm a fucking mess, but I

Oh, thanks for the high life
Baby, you's the best
Passed the test and yes
Now I'm here with you and I

Would like to think that you would stick around
You know that I just die to make you proud
The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

The taste, the touch, the way we love
It all comes down to make the sound of our love song

Pixies - On Graveyard Hill

And when the moon grows smaller
Donna picks out a flower
Gives her a witchy power
There in the witching hour
In the witching hour

Donna's taking her potion
Eating all my devotion
Fucking up my emotion
In the witching hour
Donna picks her a flower
In the witching hour

On the graveyard hill
She's calling out her curse
I'm taking my last breath
With each chapter and each verse
And soon I will be killed

In the poisonous forest
Donna lights up her torches
Her eyes are flying saucers
Her hair is black and gorgeous

I see her down at the crossroads
She can lead you to madness
She's leading me into darkness
In the witching hour
In the witching hour
In the witching hour

On the graveyard hill
She's calling out her curse
I'm taking my last breath
With each chapter and each verse
And soon I will be killed

On the graveyard hill
She's calling out her curse
I'm taking my last breath
With each chapter and each verse
And soon I will be killed

And soon I will be killed

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen Speaks

I am beside you
I am beside you
I am beside you
I am beside you
Look for me
Look for me
I am beside you
Look for me
I try to forget
To remember
That nothing is something
Where something is meant to be
I am beside you
I am beside you
Look for me
Look for me
Well, I think they’ve gathered here for me
I am within you
You are within me
I am beside you
You are beside me
I think they’re singing to be free
I think they’re singing to be free
I think my friends have gathered here for me
I think they’ve gathered here
To be beside me
Look for me
Look for me
I am beside you
You are beside me
You are beside me
Look for me

Paradise Lost - Hope Dies Young

How could you know?
As pure as driven snow

Through a winter of descent
The splintered argument
Such a withering lament

Hopes will die young
Hopes will die young now

Obscure the light of day
Assured the life that yearns inside
Reaching out in vain
Reaching out betrayed

How would you know?
The purest visions grow

Through the system of intent
A weakened argument
Is your eternal punishment

Hopes will die young
Hopes will die young now

Obscure the light of day
Assured the light that burns inside
Reaching out in vain
Reaching out some way

How could you know?
As pure as driven snow
How could you know?

Johnny Cash - A Boy Named Sue [Live]

My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue".

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue".

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue".

Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said, "My name is 'Sue'! How do you do!
Now you're gonna die!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said, "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said, "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son of a bitch that named you 'Sue'."

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

The Clash - Charlie Don't Surf

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star

Everybody wants to rule the world
Must be something we get from birth
One truth is we never learn
Satellites will make space burn

We've been told to keep the strangers out
We don't like them starting to hang around
We don't like them all over town
Across the world we are going to blow them down

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star

The reign of the super powers must be over
So many armies can't free the earth
Soon the rock will roll over
Africa is choking on their Coca Cola

It's a one a way street in a one horse town
One way people starting to brag around
You can laugh, put them down
These one way people gonna blow us down

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie's gonna be a napalm star

Charlie don't surf he'll never learn
Charlie don't surf though he's got a gun
Charlie don't surf think that he should
Charlie don't surf we really think he should
Charlie don't surf

Charlie don't surf and we think he should
Charlie don't surf and you know that it ain't no good
Charlie don't surf for his hamburger Momma
Charlie don't surf

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Medley: War / No More Trouble [Live]

Until the philosophy

Which holds one race superior and another

Inferior

Is finally

And permanently

Discredited

And abandoned

Well, everywhere is war

Is your war

And until there’s no longer first-class and second-class citizen of any nation

Until the color of a mans skin is of no more significance

Than the color of his eyes

I’ve got to say ‘War’, yeah

And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all

Without regard to race

Is your war, hey

But until that day

The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship

And the rule of international morality, yeah

Will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued

But never attained

Well, everywhere is war

Is your war

War in the east

War in the west

War up north

War down south, yeah

Yes, you want a war

And the rumors of war

And, until the ignoble and unhappy regime

That holds our brothers in South Africa, yeah

South Africa, yeah

Sub-human bondage

Have been toppled, yeah

Utterly downstroyed

Well everywhere is

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

Everywhere, everywhere, everywhere

War in the east

War in the west

War up north

War down south, yeah

Yes, you want a war

And the rumors of war

And until

And until

And ’til all these things have a meaning

’Til man learns

There’ll be always war, now

There’ll be always war

And the war in the east

War in the west

War up north

War down south

Some winning

Some losing

Some dying

Some crying

Some singing

We don’t need

No more troubles

We don’t need

No more troubles

No more troubles, no more troubles

No more troubles, eh

What we need is love

To guide and protect us on

If your hope looks down from above

Help the weak if you are strong

We don’t no trouble

What we need is love

We don’t need

No more troubles

No more troubles

No more troubles

No more troubles

No more troubles

We don’t need

We don’t need

No more troubles

No more war, no more war, no more war, I say

Toy Dolls - Daveys Days

Davey, wakes wearing a frown

Cause he knows that she's around

He's in his dressin' gown, down and Davey

Davey, dreams of days gone by

Makes Davey wanna cry

He weeps and wonders why

Since he tied the knot

It's what Davey got

Wife of woe, all aggro

Why, why, why, why, oh oh oh oh

She makes Davey's days so blue, oh oh oh oh

These days of Davey's, Davey's

These days of Davey's these, Daveys

Days of Daveys

Davey, Davey's days are days so glum

How did Davey be so dumb

What the bleedin' eck's become of Davey

Davey, the memories of what he had

Make Davey discontent and sad

A lost and lonely lad

Since he tied the knot

It's what Davey got

Wife of woe, all aggro

Why, why, why, why, oh oh oh oh

She makes Davey's days so blue, oh oh oh oh

These days of Davey's, Davey's

These days of Davey's these, Daveys

When he cut the wedding cake

We all said at your peril

But Davey wed a she devil

(Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday)

His days were gone, the gormless goon

When he went on his honeymoon

(Friday, Saturday, Sunday)

Grief and pains, Davey says

Is what remains of Davey's days

Why, why, why, why, oh oh oh oh

She makes Davey's days so blue, oh oh oh oh

These days of Davey's, Davey's

These days of Davey's these, Daveys

Days of Daveys

Alice in Chains feat. Mark Arm & Chris Cornell - Right Turn

Inside always trying to get back inside

But it's so hard to penetrate pig-thick skin

I'm about as low as I can get

I'd leave but I can't forget

Still I wonder why it ain't right, mmm it ain't right, oooh

Ain't right, mmm it ain't right, yeah

About as low as she can get

She'll leave me but she won't forget

And she wonders why she ain't right, she ain't right

Ain't right, she ain't right

Now we're as low as we can get

Can't leave and can't forget

We ain't right, we ain't right

Not right, we ain't right

Well it's hard to believe that somebody tricked you

When you can see you were only high

It's all up to you so you gamble

Flat on your face and into the fire
