I Can't Make You Love Me



Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

No SUch Thing by John Mayer

"welcome to the real world"
she said to me condescendingly
"take a seat, take your life
plot it out in black and white"


well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the best of me
is still hiding up my sleeve


they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side


I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above


so the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing credits, maybe transfers
they read all the books but they can't find the answers
all of our parents, they're getting older
I wonder if they've wished for anything better
while in their memories, tiny tragedies


they love to tell you "stay inside the lines"
but something's better on the other side


I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above


I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
as long as I'm alive


I want to run through the halls of my high school
I want to scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you've got to rise above


I just can't wait for my ten year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
and when I stand on these tables before you
you will know what all this time was for

[Ramo]

The Great Leap Forward
Good Riddance

Standing for something with
true strenght and heart
but the old manifesto has splintered apart
driven from homes to the depths of despair
hear the cries of the innocent
ring through the air

genocide a new class warfare
pushed aside to make all the people one
drop dead because freedom's a cancer
and state-sponsored terror's
the new land reform

blinded by pride and national impulse
weaned on the doctrines of Lenin and Marx
a blood red scar on the new face of China
exploding like tinder too close to the spark

this time it's genocide
and the terror comes from within
nobody's safe from the latest wave
as the new republic's in
we'll do away with agrarian notions
bleed the population into fear
you can't stop our populist expansion
because you've got no freedoms here

[Ramo]

Working Class Hero
John Lennon


As soon as you're born they make you feel small
by giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be


They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and despise a fool
Till you're so ****ing crazy you can't follow their rules
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion, sex and T.V.
and you think you're so clever and classless and free
but you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see
Working Class Hero is something to be
Working Class Hero is something to be

There's room at the top I'm telling you still
but first you must learn how to smile as you kill
if you want to be like the folks on the hill
Working Class Hero is something to be

Yes, A Working Class Hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

(Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin)
Tuatha War Chant


Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!
We come form the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
"Valhalla I am coming"

On we sweep with , threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!
Ah~ah~ahhh-ah!
An' we come from the land of the ice and snow.
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
of how we calmed the tides of war,
We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

Ooh~ooh. Ooh~ooh, Ooh~ooh
Ooh~ooh, Ooh~ooh, Ooh~ooh
Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah

Ooh~ooh Ooh ~ooh, Ooh~ooh
Ooh~ooh Ooh~ooh Ooh~ooh
Ooh~ooh Ooh~ooh Ooh~ooh

Forever in Blue Jeans - Neil Diamond


Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans.

Honey's sweet
But it ain't nothin' next to baby's treat
And if you pardon me
I'd like to say
We'll do okay
Forever in blue jeans.

Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, you and I
All alone by the fire
Nothing around
But the sound of my heart
And your sighs.

Money talks
But it don't sing and dance
And it don't walk
And long as I can have you here with me
I'd much rather be
Forever in blue jeans, babe.

Hey, could you make another thread like this, but with foreign song lyrics? We've had just one (?) before...

I'd do it myself but I remembered something about you being the one in charge over this area...

Meatloaf - Good Girls Go To Heaven
Written by Jim Steinbeck

When the wind is howling through your window pane,
it's not the only pain of the night
You're burning up in your bed, you've got a fever of love,
and there's not an antibody in sight


Hey Jenny, Jenny, why are you crying?
There's a beauty of a moon in the sky
But I guess when you've been leadin such a sheltered life,
you never lift your head and look so high


You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream


No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere


When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark,
and you're desperate now for somewhere to turn
Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge,
and every limb has been erotic'ly burned


Hey Johnny, Johnny, why are you shaking,
when a boy should do whatever he can
You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life,
and now you wonder what it's like to be damned


You don't have a lot
But it's all that you've got, and you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot, fantasise every movement,
and imagine every inch of your dream


No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you've been wanting to feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good boys go to heaven but the bad boys go everywhere


Every time I try and dream you,
I can't believe how hard it's been to conjure up your face and trace your body in the air
Oh the seconds go on fore ever, but the thirds and the fourth ones are even better
Every time I do it just a little bit longer
Every time I dream it's just a little bit stronger, than real life


No-one said it had to be real, but it's got to be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand, and we fade in the air,
and the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere
Somebody told me so
Somebody told me, now I know
Every night in my prayer,
I'll be praying that the good girls go to heaven but the bad girls go everywhere


Bad for Good - Jim Steinman

The sea is whipping the sky,
The sky is whipping the sea,
You can hide away forever from the storm,
But you'll never hide away from me.
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark,
And we may lose everything in the wind,
But the Northern Lights are burnin' and they're givin' off sparks,
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin.

You know I'm onto your scent,
We're near the end of the chase,
Take a look out your window and I'll be there in the night,
Your love is so close that I can almost taste it,
The icy cold will cut us like a knife in the dark,
And we may lose everything in the wind,
But the Northern Lights are burnin' and they're givin' off sparks,
I want to wrap myself around you like a winter skin.

You've been living your life like a girl in a cage,
And you whisper when I want you to shout,
And I'll never know why you wanna go on sleepin',
When there's nothing left to dream about,
But you better remember,
If it's something I want then it's something I need,
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed,
If it's something I want then it's something I need,
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed.

And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever,
I'm never gonna be what I should,
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while,
But I know that I'll be bad for good,
I know that I'll be bad for good,
I know that I'll be bad for good.

Your eyes are darker than sin,
And I've been watching them glow,
Take a chance on a promise and a roll of the dice,
Put your foot on the gas, let it go, let it go, let it go.

You've been living your life like a girl in a cage,
And you whisper when I want you to shout,
And I'll never know why you wanna go on sleepin'
When there's nothing left to dream about,
But you better remember,
If it's something I want then it's something I need,
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed,
If it's something I want then it's something I need,
I wasn't built for comfort I was built for speed.

And I know that I'm gonna be like this forever,
I'm never gonna be what I should,
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while,
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while,
And you think that I'll be bad for just a little while,
But I know that I'll be bad for good,
I know that I'll be bad for good,
I know that I'll be bad for good,
I know that I'll be bad for good.

(Bad for good)
(Bad for good)
For the good of some thrills on a long frigid night,
For the good of the fire in your soul,
For the good of the kiss let me hold you so tight,
For the good of getting out of control,
For the good of the action and a race in the dark,
For the good of those chills up your spine,
For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart,
For the good of what's yours and what's mine,
For the good of believing in a life after birth,
For the good of your body so bright,
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth,
For the good of one hell of a night,
For the good of one hell of a night.

For the good of the action and a race in the dark,
For the good of the fire in your soul,
For the good of the rock and the roll in your heart,
For the good of getting out of control,
For the good of believing in a life after birth,
For the good of your body so bright,
For the good of the search for some heaven on earth,
For the good of one hell of a night, for the good of one hell of a night

THANK YOU
Jimmy Page / Robert Plant

If the sun refuse to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you 'n' me.

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

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain,
The 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.

Ohh-my, my.
An' inspiration's what you are to me.
Inspiration look 'n' see.

And so today my world it smiles,
Your hand in mine we walk the miles.
But thanks to you it will be done
For you to me are the ONLY ONE.

Alright yeah.
Happiness, no more be sad.
Happiness, I'm glad.

If the sun refuse to shine,
I would still be lovin' you.
Mountains crumble to the sea,
There will still be you an' me.

Ticket to the Moon
by Electric Light Orchestra


Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.
I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.

CHORUS:

Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon
Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon.

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh.

Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (and I would see you there, waiting...)

Ticket to the moon chorus

Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way... only one way...

Photographs And Memories

Photographs and memories, Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you
Memories that come at night, take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine

But we sure had a good time, when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks are how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullaby's, nights we couldn't say goodbye
And of all of the things that we knew
Not a dream survived

Photographs and memories, all the love you gave to me
Some how it just can't be true
Thats all I've left of you

But we sure had a good time, when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks are how I loved you then

-------------------------------

Time In A Bottle

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that'd never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how
They were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

Ace of Base - Everytime It Rains

I see dark clouds out my window
I know the storm is coming any minute
And the thunder just confirms my fears
And I know the tears are in there
I'll be crying unable to stop
Look here comes the very first drop

'Cause every time it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you... I taste you
I cannot forget
Every time it rains... I get wet

Darling I am still in love with you
As time passes by it just intensifies
I know I'll never be with you again
I'll never find another with that kindness in his eyes
I'll be trying unable to stop
Look here comes the very first drop

'Cause every time it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you... I taste you
I cannot forget
Every time it rains... I get wet

On sunny days I'm all right
I walk in the light
And i try not to think about
The love I live without

But every time it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you... I taste you
I cannot forget
Every time it rains... I get wet
'Cause every time it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you... I taste you
I cannot forget
Every time it rains... I get wet
'Cause every time it rains
I fall to pieces
So many memories the rain releases
I feel you... I taste you
I cannot forget
Every time it rains... I get wet

Dope - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

If I, I get to know your name
Well if I, could trace your private number, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
I want some,want some

I set my sights on you (and no one else will do)

And I, I've got to have my way now, baby
All I know is that to me
You look like you're having fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch,out here I come

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

I got to be your friend now, baby
And I would like to move in a little bit closer

All I know is that to me
You look like you're lots of fun
Open up your loving arms
Watch out, here I come

One More Day
by Diamond Rio

Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished, for one more day with you

Chorus

One more day
One more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still, for one more day with you

First thing I'd do, is pray for time to crawl
Then I'd unplug the telephone
And keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do. With one more day with you

Chorus

Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day

Sweet Seasons


Sometimes you win sometimes you lose,
and sometimes the blues just get a hold of you
just when you though you had made it.
All around the block people will talk,
but I want to give it all that I've got
I just don't want, I don't want to waste it.

Chorus
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons on my mind.
Sure does appeal to me.
You know you can get there easily,
just like a sailboat sailin' on the sea.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,
and most times you choose between the two
wonderin', wonderin' if you have made it.
But I'll have some kids and make my plans,
and I'll watch the seasons running away
and I'll build me a life in the open, a life in the country.

Chorus
add
Talkin' 'bout sweet seasons, talkin' 'bout sweet, sweet, sweet seasons
Talkin' 'bout ...... (repeat and fade)

Music


Music is playing inside my head
Over and over and over again
My friend, there's no end to the music...

Ah, summer is over
But the music keeps playing
And won't let the cold get me down

Pictures are forming inside my brain
Soon with the colors they'll rain together and grow
Then don't you know, don't you know there'll be music...

Ah, it's not always easy
But the music keeps playing
And won't let the world get me down.
