Minority

GREEN DAY

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Casue I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
F*** 'em all
You are your own sight

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING
carly simon

When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
You can always find something to do
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
Something happens to you

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the boy
And never ever think of counting sheep

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be his if only he'd call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss him most of all

[boann]

More Than Than You Know
-cher

More than you know
More than you know
Man of my heart I love you so
Lately I find you on my mind
More than you know

Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Man of my heart I'm gonna string along
I need you so, more than you'll ever know

Chorus:

Lovin' you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
Lovin' may be all you can give
But honey I can't live without it

Oh how I cry, oh how I die
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I chose
More than you'll ever know

(chorus)

Oh how I die, oh how I cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than I chose
More than you'll ev-
More than you'll ev-
More than you'll ever know

Na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

The Rose by Bette Midler

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose

Symphony of Destruction by MEgadeath

You take a mortal man,
And put him in control
Watch him become a god,
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll...

(Chorus)
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes,
Swaying to the Symphony...
Of Destruction

Acting like a robot,
Its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse,
Before the head explodes
Explodes...

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens,
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall...

====Trisha Yearwood

Inside Out
with don henley

The biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growing old
The loneliest night you ever spent
The angriest letter you never sent
The girl you swore you'd never leave
The one you kissed on New Year's Eve
The sweetest dream you had last night
Your darkest hour
Your hardest fight
I wanna know you
(i wanna know)
Like i know myself
I'm waiting for you
(i'm waiting for you)
There ain't no one else
I wanna know you
Inside out

CHORAS:
I wanna dig down deep
I wanna lose some sleep
I wanna scream and shout
I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time
I wanna know you're mine
I know there ain't no doubt
I wanna know you inside out

The saddest song you ever heard
The most you said with just one word
The loneliest prayer you ever prayed
The truest vow you ever made
What makes you laugh
What makes you cry
What makes you mad
What gets you by
Your highest high
Your lowest low
These are the things I wanna know

CHORAS

I wanna know your soul
I wanna lose control
I wanna let it out
I wanna know you inside out

I wanna dig down deep
(dig down deep
I wanna lose some sleep
(i wanna lose some sleep)
I wanna scream and shout
I wanna know you inside out
I wanna take my time
(take my time)
I wanna know you're mine
(i wanna know you're mine)
You know there ain't no doubt
I wanna know you inside out

Your biggest lie you ever told
Your deepest fear about growing old
The loneliest night you ever spent
What makes you laugh
What makes you cry
What makes you mad
What gets you by
Inside out

"XXX's & OOO's (An American Girl)"


Phone rings baby cries TV diet guru lies
Good morning honey
Go to work make up try to keep the balance up
Between love and money
She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl

Slow dance second chance mama needs romance
And an live-in maid
Fix the sink mow the yard really isn't all that hard
If you get paid
he used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl

Well she's got her God and she's got good wine
Aretha Franklin and Patsy Cline

She used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows
Sign her letters with X's and O's
Got a picture of her mama in heels and pearls
She's tryin' to make it in her daddy's world
She's an American girl
An American girl
She's an American girl

"I Would have Loved You Anyway"


If I'd a known the way that this would end
If I'd a read the last page first
If I'd a had the strength to walk away
If I'd a known how this would hurt

I would have loved you anyway
I'd do it all the same
Not a second I would change
Not a touch that I would trade
Had I known my heart would break
I'd a loved you anyway

It's bittersweet to look back now
At memories withered on the vine
But just to hold you close to me
For a moment in time

And even if I'd seen it comin'
You still'd a seen me runnin'
Straight into your arms

I would a loved you anyway
I would a loved you anyway

[boann]

some more trisha
well just because.... uh huh.


"How Do I Live"

How do I
Get through one night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be?
Oh I need you in my arms
Need you to hold
Your my world my heart my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you'd take away everything good in my Life.

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live?.

Without you
There'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There would be no world left for me
And I
Baby I don't know what I would do
I would be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in My life

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live?...

Please tell me baby..

How do I go on?
If you ever leave
Well baby you would take away everything
Need you with me
Baby don't you know your everything good in My life

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you
If you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I
How do I
O how do I live

How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby.......
How do I live....

"The Whisper Of Your Heart"


Daddy told me when I was young
He said it's a long road you've begun
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's hard
But as you walk the road remember who you are

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

He said make it a practice to be true
'Cause when push comes down to shove it's up to you
To keep believing in your dreams
And to sing your song if you've got a song to sing

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

The years have come, the years have gone
Yes and I have learned some lessons on my own
The winds of fortune are sure to change
But the wisdom in these words will stay the same

You've gotta roll with the punches
You've gotta aim to hit the mark
You've gotta follow your hunches
And try to finish what you start
And when you come to the crossroads
And you're deciding in the dark
You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

You've gotta listen to the whisper of your heart

-----------------
for only you

ill give my love..... to only you
to no one else .....its for only you
you are the world to me
and you will always be
the one whos oh so beautiful
my love will always stay ....with you

i will be yours.... for all of time
and thank the lord ....that you are mine.
for with each breath i take
i know my love is safe
in the arms of one so wonderful
as long as i can dream a dream for two
for my love is for only you.

with each breath i take
i know my love is safe
in the arms of one so wonderful
as long as i can dream.. ill dream for two
for my love is for only you.
yeah.

Pass The Dutchie By Musical Youth

This generation
Rules the nation
With version

Music happen to be the food of love
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub

I say: Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

It was a cool and lovely breezy afternoon
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
You could feel it 'cause it was the month of June
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
So I left my gate and went out for a walk
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
As I pass the dreadlocks' camp I heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

So I stopped to find out what was going on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
'Cause the spirit of Jah, you know he leads you on
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
There was a ring of dreads and a session was there in swing
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
You could feel the chill as I seen and heard them say
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

'Cause me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist
Me say listen to the drummer, me say listen to the bass
Give me little music make me wind up me waist, I say

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

You play it on the radio
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo
A so me know you a go play it on the disco
A so me say we a go hear it on the stereo

Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
Pass the Dutchie on the left hand side
It a gonna burn, give me music make me jump and prance
It a go done, give me the music make me rock in the dance

I say east, say west, say north and south (on the left hand side)
This is gonna make us jump and shout (on the left hand side)

[Jaguar]

Let's play "Name the Artist" on this one. (Let's play "See who looks at this post first")

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you




BTW, Devilmunchkin, the Pink song is called "Don't Let Me Get Me"

[Asher]

Matchbox Twenty - If You're Gone

I know the lyrics by heart to about 40 MB20 songs. And they've only released 23 on CD.

What're you doing up so early/late?

Lillies by Cranes

Warm days fill my head
Like beautiful lilies
And the sun casts a shadow on the clouds

And I'm dreaming . . .
Something to hold
Something to feel
Someone to love
Someone to need . . .
On down the dusty path
Goodbye! Goodbye!
I'll miss you!
And the sky puts on his grey cloak
And the day blows fear onto
All the lonely souls

As they wander lost along the way
Asking . . .
Where am I . . . ?
Where am I . . . ?
And oh -
Those rainbows are long gone
And mud lies where those
Days once shone
And now there's just a space . . .

[devilmunchkin]

Once Around the Block by Badly Drawn Boy

You quiver like a candle on fire,
I'm putting you out,
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout,
i'm fascinated by your style,
your beauty will last for a while.

You're feeling instead of being,
The more that i live on the inside,
There's nothing to give,
I'm infatuated by your moves,
I've gotta search hard for clues.

I want to repair your desire,
And call it a gift,
That I stole from just wanting to live,
Now I see the vision through your eyes,
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise.

Trying to out run you fears
Your running to lose,
Heart on your sleave,
and your sole in your shoes.
Take a left,
a sharp left,
and another left,
meet me on the corner.
And we'll start again.

[Jaguar]

following me as usual.

I sometimes sleep at random times, and consequently wake up at random times

The Joke Isn't Funny Anymore by The SMiths

Park the car at the side of David Mullany
You should know
Time's tide will smother you
And I will too
When you laugh about people who feel so
Very lonely
Their only desire is to die
Well, I'm afraid
It doesn't make me smile
I wish I could laugh
But that joke isn't funny anymore
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone
More than you'll ever know ...
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seats
Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my
Face after all
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
And now it's happening in mine
Oh ...
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh ...
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh ...
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
(I've seen this happen)
Happening in mine
Oh... now, now
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh ...
And now it's happening in mine
(Happen)
Happening in mine
Oh ...
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
Happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's
Lives
Oh ...
And now, now, now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine
Mine, mine
Happening in mine

Hey! Asher likes a song I do! He violated a serious code of his ethics there! Applause!

Notice that in the minute after I posted, he was already there! Even though it was really late/early!

[Asher]

Really late/early is when I'm always on.

MB20 simply rules. As does their parent band, Tabitha's Secret.
