Summertime Blues
Eddie Cochran

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and ask to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money"
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm gonna take the weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said "Whoa!"
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Gone Country
Alan Jackson

She's been playing at a room on the strip for ten years in Vegas
Every night she looks in the mirror but she only ages
She's been readin' 'bout Nashville and all the records that everybody's buying
Says "I'm a simple girl myself, grew up on Long Island"
So she packs her bags to try her hand
Says this might be my last chance
(First Chorus)
She's gone country, look at them boots
She's gone country, back to her roots
She's gone country, a new kind of suit
She's gone country, here she comes
Well the folk scene's dead, but he's holding out in the village
He's been writting songs, speaking out against wealth and privilege
He says "I don't believe in money, but a man could make him a killin'
'Cause some of that stuff don't sound much different than Dylan
I hear down there it's changed you see
They're not as backward as they used to be"
(Second Chorus)
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, back to his roots
He's gone country, a new kind of suit
He's gone country, here he comes
He commutes to L.A., but he's got a house in the valley
But the bills are piling up and the pop scene just ain't on the rally
He says, "Honey, I'm a serious composer,
schooled in voice and composition
But with the crime and the smog these days, this
ain't no place for children
Lord, it sounds so easy, this shouldn't take long
Be back in the money in no time at all"
(Second Chorus)
(Third Chorus)
Yeah, he's gone country, a new kind of walk
He's gone country, a new kind of talk
He's gone country, look at them boots
He's gone country, oh back to his roots
He's gone country
He's gone country
Everybody's gone country
Yeah we've gone country
The whole world's gone country

HARHAR


P.O.D.
youth of the nation

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared

Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing

Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it's because

chorus:
We are, We are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel

Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself

She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool

He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide

It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then

You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat

chorus

Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain

That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind

I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know

There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists

[*End Is Forever*]

God crap!

P.O.D.
Boom

I never knew that a kid like me
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D.
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town

We rep. the South, so what you talking about
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new
Many were called, but the chosen are few
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got

[b-section:]
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene
Well, it's alright! It's alright!
I know you know, I see you smiling at me
Well, it's alright! It's alright!

[chorus:]
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
How you like me now?

[bridge:]
Is that all you got?
I'll take your best shot.

[*End Is Forever*]

My new favourite song...

Your Own Disaster - Taking Back Sunday

Just think of this and me
as just a few of many things
to lie around, to clutter up your shelves
And I wish you weren't worth the wait
cause there's somethings I'd like to say to you

And I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cause I don't think that you know what you've been missing

And I dare you to forget
the marks you left across my neck
from those nights when we were both found at our best
Now I could make this obvious and you
you could deny me all in one breath
you could shrug me off your shoulders

And I don't think that you know what you've been missing
Cause I don't think that you know what you've been missing
And I don't think that you know,
I said I don't think you know,
I said I don't think that you know what you've been missing

Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
Hey lush, have fun
Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
Hey lush, have fun

(oh I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
(no I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun
(oh I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
(no I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun (just forget me, it's that simple)

(oh I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
(just forget me, it's that simple)
(no I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun
(just forget me, it's that simple)

Just forget me, it's that simple [11x]

(oh I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun, it's the weekend
(just forget me, it's that simple)
(no I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
Hey lush, have fun
(just forget me, it's that simple)

(oh I don't think that you know what you've been missing)
(no I don't think that you know what you've been missing)

Just forget me, it's that simple

i dont have speakers right now and here

meanwhile here's a nice one

Your Woman by White Town

Just tell me what you've got to say to me,
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
It comes as no surprise at all you see,
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through.
Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
You don't even know you're being unkind,
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways,
Just use me up and then you walk away,
Boy you can't play me that way.
Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.
When I saw my best friend yesterday,
She said she never liked you from the start,
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
But you always knew you held my heart.
And you're such a charming handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes?, I don't know,
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure,
Why did you play me this way?.
Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.
Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you,
I could never be your woman.

use your fist, not your mouth, marilyn manson.

Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!

I am overgrounded, outselling it
Since God thinks I don't exist
The beatings happen perminent
This is not blue collar white corrective politics
I'm on an hate, american style, kick

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(come on, come on! Come on, come on!)

I'm on a campaign for pain
And when I get elected
I'll wipe the white off your house
The smile off your face

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along

I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want to be like anyone else
I woke up today and wished for tomorrow
I don't want even be myself

I said no, this isn't your song
We can't all get along
It's too hard to hold hands when your hands are fists
My hate pop won't ever stop
I'm ****ing glad we're different
This is my hate american style
hit

Don't break it
Don't sing it
Use your fist and not your mouth

This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth
(Come on, come on! Come on, come on!)
This is the black collar song
Put it in your middle finger and sing along
Use your fist and not your mouth

anniversary of an uninteresting event, deftones

No more gold lights for the queen earth to keep you warm in your kingdoms
High on the waves you make for us
But not since you left have the waves come
The bar is dead and the rocket's rain is keeping you wet in your deathbed
so high on the waves you made for us
And not since you left have the waves come... have the waves come...

about a girl, nirvana.
I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I don't think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night for free
I do

I'm standing in your line
I do ... hope you have the time
I do ... pick a number too
I do ... keep a date with you

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night for free

I need an easy friend
I do ... with an ear to lend
I do ... think you fit this shoe
I do ... won't you have a clue

I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
For free

I do...

Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels)

Operator, well could you help me place this call?
See, the number on the matchbook is old and faded.
She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray,
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated.
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
Operator, well could you help me place this call?
Well, I can't read the number that you just gave me.
There's something in my eyes, you know it happens every time --
I think about a love that I thought would save me.
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels.
Operator, well let's forget about this call --
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to.
Thank you for your time, ah, you've been so much more than kind.
And you can keep the dime.
Isn't that the way they say it goes? Well, let's forget all that
And give me the number if you can find it,
So I can call just to tell 'em I’m fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I’ve learned to take it well --
I only wish my words could just convince myself
That it just wasn't real, but that's not the way it feels.
No, no, no, no -- that's not the way it feels.

I Got A Name

Like the pine trees lining the winding road,
I got a name, I got a name;
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad,
I got a name, I got a name.
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I'm living the dream that he kept hid.
Moving me down the highway, rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by.
Like the north wind whistlin down the sky,
I got a song; I got a song.
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry,
I got a song; I got a song,
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud;
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud.
Moving me down the highway, rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won't pass me by.
(Lead Break)
And I'm gonna go there free...
Like the fool I am and I’ll always be,
I got a dream, I got a dream.
They can change their minds but the can't change me,
I got a dream, I got a dream;
Oh, I know I could share it if you’d want me to;
If you're goin’ my way, I'll go with you.
Movin’ me down the highway, rollin’ me down the highway
Movin’ ahead so life won't pass me by.

to turkey for violating our airspace


your gathered here tonight
to heed our metal. cry
obeying all. our wills
all others you defy
a wall of sonic sound
with amps turned up to ten
our legions are advancing
to battle once again

fists are in the air. banging everywhere
thrashing to the sound faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command

we go from town to town
and leave a trail of death
and if you don't surrender

you'll breathe you final breath
there will be no survivors
no prisoners of war
join our ranks or perish

we'll slice you to the core

fists are in the air thrashing everywhere
banging to the sound, faces melting down
it s time to fight for metal tonight
bangers take your stand and obey
our metal command

our legions show no mercy
the final hour nears
sonic blast deafening
it's ripping through your ears
there is no retribution
for those who do not dare
there's only execution
your dead without a prayer

Thank You
(Page/Plant)

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Weezer
Only in Dreams

You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home
You can't avoid her
She's in the air (in the air)
In between molecules
Of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams

You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says, 'Hey baby
I just might take the chance'
You say, 'It's a good thing
That you float in the air (in the air)
That way there's no way
I will crush your pretty
Toenails into a thousand pieces.'

[Chorus]

Deftones
Minerva

I get all numb when she sings it's over
Such a strange numb and it brings my knees to the earth.

And god bless you all for the song you saved us...

You're the same numb when you sing it's over
Such a strange numb it could bring back peace to the earth.

So god bless you all for the song you saved us...

For the hearts you break everytime you moan...
I get all numb....

We're the same numb and it brings our knees to the earth

So god bless you all for the song you saved us...

For the hearts you break everytime you moan
And god bless you all on the earth.

Bob Wills Is Still The King
Waylon Jennings

Well the honky-tonks in Texas were my natural second home
Where you tip your hat to the ladies and the Rose of San Anton'
I grew up on music that we call western swing
It don't matter whose in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king


Lord I can still remember the way things were back then
In spite of all the hard times I'd live it all again
Hear the Texas Playboys and Tommy Duncan sing
Makes me proud to be from Texas where Bob Wills is still the king


You can hear the Grand Ol' Opry in Nashville Tennessee
It's the home of Country Music on that we all agree
But when you cross that old Red River, hoss, that just don't mean a thing
Once you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king


Well if you ain't never been there then I guess you ain't been told
That you just can't live in Texas 'less you got a lot a soul
It's the home of Willie Nelson, the home of western swing
He'll be the first to tell you, Bob Wills is still the king

Del Amitri - Always The Last To Know

So you're in love with someone else
Someone who burns within your soul
And it looks like I am the last to know
I hear you've never felt so alive
So much desire beyond control
And as usual I am the last to know

The last to know
How you're feeling
The last to know
Where you are
The last to know
If you're happy now
Or if he's treating you like I treated you
Or if he's cruel
Ill be the last to know

We spent summers up beyond the bay
And you said these are such prefect days
That if the bomb drops baby
I wanna be the last to know
But now you're living up behind the hill
And though we share the same city and feel the same sun
When your winter comes
Ill be the last to know

Always the last to know
How you're feeling
The last to know
Where you are
The last to know
If you're happy now
Or if he's pleading with you, like I pleaded with you
If you go
Dont let me be the last to know
Dont let me be the last to know

Creation's gone crazy
The TV's gone mad
Now you're the only sane thing that I have

Always the last to know
How you're feeling
The last to know
Where you are
The last to know
If you're happy now
Or if he's cheating on you like I cheated on you
Oh
You were the last to know
You were the last to know
Don't let me be the last to know...

Garbage - Medication

I don't need an education
I learnt all I need from you
They've got me on some medication
My point of balance was askew
It keeps my temperature from rising
My blood is pumping through my veins

Chorus:
Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
Nobody gives a damn about me or anybody else

I wear myself out in the morning
You're asleep when I get home
Please don't call me self defending
You know it cuts me to the bone
And it's really not surprising
I hold a force I can't contain

Chorus

And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me

Somebody get me out of here
I'm tearing at myself
I've got to make a point these days
To extricate myself

Chorus

And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me
And still you call me co-dependent
Somehow you lay the blame on me...

"Moon River"


Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.
