because lies will be found out!

Terrible Lie by NIN

[Hey God] Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
[Hey God] I think you owe me a great big apology

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

[Hey God] I really don't know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
[Hey God] Can this world really be as sad as it seems?

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Don't take it away from me, I need you to hold on to
Don't take it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me, I need you to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me, I need someone to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me, I need you to hold on to
Don't tear it, don't tear it, don't tear it, don't tear it, don't

[Hey God] there's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security and pride
I'm all alone in the world you must despise
[Hey God] I believed your promises, your promises and lies!

Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay
How many you betray
You've taken everything

Terrible lie

My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe

I give you everything..
my sweet everything..

I need someone to hold on to
I need someone, I need someone
I need someone to hold on to

YOU LIED by green day

You gotta problem you just can't hide
Compulsive habits that never seem to die
Your breath is taking up all the air
Your teeth are rotting to black holes in your head

Well reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story's streched and so far fetched
That you're lacking an excuse...
You Lied.

Your mother allowed you just one white lie
But now she's dead and she left you with a problem
Pinocchio has pierced your tongue
Your nose is growin' into the 3rd dimension

Well reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story's stretched and so far fetched
That you're lacking an excuse...
You Lied.

Well reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story is stretched and so far fetched
That you're lacking an excuse...

You Lied.

YOU LIED by Tool

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...

Time heals, time congeals around us
Endless hours of wasted moments
Understanding, not demanding
Your eyes tell what you feel inside

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

YOU LIED!

String of Lies by the Goo Goo Dolls

I've got no politics no influential friend or two
I've got ideas but it's nothing I picked up at school
I might be running but I'm never running back to you

And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect you'll reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie

I had to wait so long that weeks and months that passed me by
You've got no power and my situation don't apply
You ask me how I am I lie and say I'm doing fine

And with your sugar sweetened alibi there was a truth I never knew
And all the attitude you gave me it's coming back to you

String of lies it's always compromise with you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you

And here's a letter from the real world I don't expect your reply
And anything you're gonna tell me it's just another lie

String of lies we always compromise for you
String of lies you know there's nothing left to do
String of lies it's been a string of lies with you
String of lies we always compromise for you
And here's a letter from the real world

[SlowwHand]

All Along the Watchtower
Jimi Hendrix
(Bob Dylan)

There must be some kind of way outta here
said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion...
I can't get no relief

Business men, they drink my wine
Plowman dig my earth
None were level on the mind
Nobody up at his word
hey, hey

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh...but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late, hey

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

[Clear Skies]

Vanessa Carlton - (I Would Walk) A Thousand Miles

Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever think of me

Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by,oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight

And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I,I don't wanna let this go
I, I've fallen...

Making my way down town
Waking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time, would pass us by
Cause you kow I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
If I could just hold you... tonight

[Lawrence of Arabia]

U2 - Stay

Green light, Seven Eleven
You stop in, for a parck of cigarettes
You don't smoke, you don't even want to
Hey now, check your change
Dressed up, like a car crash
Your wheels are turning, but you're upside fown
You say when he hits you, you don't mind
Because when he hurts you, you feel alive
Is that what it is

Red light, gray morning
You stumble out of a hole in the ground
A vampire, or a victim
It depends on who's around
You used to stay in, to watch the adverts
You could lip synch, to the talk show

And if you look, you look through me
And when you talk, you talk at me
And whan I touch you, you don't feel a thing

If I could stay, then the night would give you up
Stay, and the day will break its stride
Stay, and the night will be enough

Far away, so close
Up with the static, and the radio
With satellite television
You could go anywhere
Miami, New Orleans
London, Belfast then back home

And if you listen, I can't call
And if you jump, you just might fall
And if you shout, I'll only hear you

If I could stay
Then the night would give you up
Stay, then the day would keep you strong
Stay, with the demons you drown
Stay, with the spirit I found
Stay, and the night would be enough

Three o'clock, in the morning
It's quet and there's no one around
Just a bang and a clatter
As an angel runs to ground

Just a bang
And a clatter
As an angel
Hits the ground

[Asher]

matchbox twenty - Leave

It's amazing
how you make your face just like a wall
how you take your heart and turn it off
how I turn my head and lose it all

It's unnerving
how just one move puts me by myself
there you go just trusting someone else
now I know I put us both through hell

I'm not saying
there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying
we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
straight out from underneath
then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
you know you've been depending on
the one you're leaving now
the one you're leaving out

It's aggravating
how you threw me on
and you tore me out
how your good intentions turn to doubt
the way you needed time to sort it out

Tell me is that how it's going to end
when you know you've been depending on
the one you're leaving now
and the one you're leaving out

[Asher]

I guess you don't know this one?

matchbox twenty - Bed of Lies

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am...

Don't think that I can take another empty moment
Don't think that I can fake another
hollow smile
It's not enough just to be sorry.
Don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me, you've got needs
And they're only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we've tendered away

No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And they'll be no rest for these tired eyes
I'm marking it down to learning
I am...

Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong
Where it's not enough just to be sorry

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in
I tried to be more than me
And I gave 'til it all went away
And we've only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we've made

I am all that I'll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me
but don't go weak on me now
I know that it's weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies

[Clear Skies]

Secret Life - The Corrs

From red giant to supernova
Back to you and me
A cloaked entity within a virtual reality
Mechanised and organised
To me it's plain to see
The hand that's been busy weaving fantasy
It's so hard to understand
And often we are blind
But if truth were an ocean would it fit in the pool of a human mind
.
You're all alone
And it doesn't seem quite fair
Why we're all left in ignorance
Turning to despair (turning to despair)
Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
At something more incredible (incredible)
Than you and I
.
(Chorus)
So call on the secret life
Call on the secret life
Show me the way of life
Bring on the secret life
.
Evangelists, scientologists, and others I won't mention
Offer lessons in codology to all with good intentions
Listen at your peril, put your soul in detention
Resensitise yourself to this incredible dimension
.
When you're all alone
And it doesn't seem quite fair
Why we're all left in ignorance
Turning to despair (turning to despair)
Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
At something more incredible (incredible)
Than you and I
.
(Chorus)
.
I think, therefore I am
I think, therefore I am
.
And you're all alone,
And it doesn't seem quite fair
Why we're all left in ignorance
Turning to despair (turning to despair)
Philosophy and theology offer us a glimpse
At something more incredible (incredible)
Than you and I

Sorry to dp, just listened to this for the first time in aaaages and couldn't resist

Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much

I've known a few guys who thought they were pretty smart
But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius, you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original know-it-all

Oh-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oh, you think you're something else
Okay so you're a rocket scientist

That don't impress me much
So you got the brain but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve--just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair oughtta lock it
'Cause Heaven forbid it should fall outta place

Oh-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you're Brad Pitt

That don't impress me much
So you got the looks but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much

You're one of those guys who likes to shine his machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night

C'mon baby tell me--you must be jokin', right!
Oh-oh, you think you're special
Oh-oh, you think you're something else
Okay, so you've got a car

That don't impress me much
So you got the moves but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much
You think you're cool but have you got the touch
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold, lonely night
That don't impress me much
Okay, so what, do you think you're Elvis or something?!
Whatever!
That don't impress me...

asher: hehehe..i THINK i got my point across

but, alas, i am not the diehard m20 fan that you are...i'll just never measure up

Disassociative by Marilyn Manson

I can tell you what they say in space
That our earth is too grey
But when the spirit is so digital
The body acts this way
That world was killing me
That world was killing me
Disassociative

The nervous system's down
The nervous system's down I know

CHORUS
I can never get out of here
I don't want to just float in fear
A dead astronaut in space
Sometimes we walk like we were shot
Through our heads, my love
We write our song in space
Like we are already dead and gone
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative
Your world was killing me
Your world was killing me
Disassociative

Hey, that's okay, no one's perfect.

MB20 - Long Day (extended live version)

It's sitting by the overcoat,
the second shelf, the note she wrote,
that I can't bring myself to throw away.
"And also reach", she said,
"for no one else but you,
Cause you won't turn away,
when someone else is gone..."

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give when I'm with you,
but no one else would take this sh*t from me.
And I'm so terrified of no one else but me.
I'm here all the time. I won't go away.
It's me, yeah I can't get myself to go away.
It's me, and I can't get myself to go away,
oh God I shouldn't feel this way now...

Reach down your hand in your pocket.
Pull out some hope for me,
it's been a long day, always ain't that right.
And no Lord your hand won't stop it.
Just keep you trembling.
It's been a long day, always ain't that right...

Well I'm surprised that you'd believe
in any thing that comes from me.
I didn't hear from you or from someone else.
And you're so set in life man,
a pisser they're waiting,
too damn bad you get so far so fast.
So what, so long...

Reach down your hand in your pocket.
Pull out some hope for me,
it's been a long day, always ain't that right.
And no Lord your hand won't stop it.
Just keep you trembling.
It's been a long day, always ain't that right...

Well fame, makes a man think things over.
Fame, makes it loose, hard to swallow.
Fame, what you get you had to borrow.
Fame...is alright. Fame is alright...
Let's talk about fame,
Let's talk about fame,
Let's talk about fame...
Yeah, it sings to me,
and it says hey, it's me,
but I'm not the me I used to be.
Yeah and I say hey, it's me,
but I'm not the me I used to be.
I get a little upset, I get a little worn down,
I get a little bit nervous, oh when you're around.
I get a little worn in, I feel a little worn out,
oh from every touch, every kiss, every sound that she sings.
She says, "Back straight, get your head up and then down,
get into it a little to appreciate all the best things, you sick beautiful thing.
Yeah, back straight, get your head up then down,
get into it a little to appreciate all the best things."

everytime I make a wrong,
you just turn around and cry, and I ask myself why oh why.
See you must understand, I can't work a 9 to 5.
So I'll be gone... until November,
I'll be gone til November,
I'll be gone til November,
Everytime I tell ya I'll be gone til November,
I'll be gone til November,
I'll be gone til November,
Everytime I tell ya I'll be gone til November,
I'll be gone til November... Oh come on...

"You're down", she said,
"You know you shouldn't get so upset."
But it gets me over, and it clears my head.
"You're down", she said,
"you know you shouldn't get so upset child."
But it gets me over, and it clears my head...

I know you got a little life in you yet,
and I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you got a little life in you yet,
and I know you have a lot of strength left.
Hell I know you got a little life in you yet,
and I bet you got a lot of strength left...for me...
so come on... it's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away.
It's me, yeah and I can't get myself to go away,
oh God I shouldn't feel this way now...

Reach down your hand in your pocket.
Pull out some hope for me,
it's been a long day, always ain't that right.
And no Lord your hand won't stop it.
Just keep you trembling.
It's been a long day, always ain't that right.
Oh ain't that right.
Oh ain't that right.
Oh ain't that right, right, right on child?
Right, right, right on, right on child,
Yeah well here I am.
So come on...

Alanis Morissette - Hands Clean

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
You're kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

Ooh this could get messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this

what part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
what part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
what with this distance it seems so obvious?

Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this


Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels (On A Gravel Road)

Sittin in the kitcken a house in Macon
Loretta's singing on the radio
Smell of coffee eggs and bacon
Car wheels on a gravel road

Pull the curtains back and look outside
Somebody somewhere I don't know
Come on now child we're gonna go for a ride
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road
Car wheels on a gravel road

Can't find a damn thing in this place
Nothing's where I left it before
Set of keys and a dusty suitcase
Car wheels on a gravel road

There goes the screen door slamming shut
You better do what you're told
When I get back this room better be picked-up
Car wheels on a gravel road

Low hum of voices in the front seat
Stories nobody knows
Got folks in Jackson we're going to meet
Car wheels on a gravel road

Cotton fields stretching miles and miles
Hank's voice on the radio
Telephone poles trees and wires fly on by
Car wheels on a gravel road

Broken down shacks engine parts
Could tell a lie but my heart would know
Listen to the dogs barkin in the yard
Car wheels on a gravel road

Child in the backseat about four or five years
Lookin out the window
Little bit of dirt mixed with tears
Car wheels on a gravel road

Eva Cassidy - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace yu-huh

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world yu-huh

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Martina McBride - Independence Day
Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
But daddy left the proof on her cheek
and I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On Independence Day

Well word gets a round in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
Mama was proud and she stood her ground
But she knew she was on the losin' end
Some folks whispered and some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On Independence Day

Let Freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a Day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames
and took down some names
And send me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

Let Freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a Day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Roll the stone away
It's Independence Day!

[Jaguar]

Simon and Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence


In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never shared
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

Fools, said I, you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence


And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence

Bringin on the Heartbreak by Def Leppard

Gypsy, sittin' lookin' pretty
The broken rose with laughin' eyes
You're a mystery, always runnin' wild
Like a child without a home
You're always searching, searching for a feeling
That it's easy come and easy go
Oh I'm sorry but it's true
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Oh whoah
You're such a secret, misty eyed and shady
Lady how you hold the key
Oh you're like a candle, your flame slowly fadin'
Burnin' out and burnin' me
Can't you see?
Just try and say to you
You're bringin' on the heartache
Takin' all the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
No no no
You got the best of me
Oh can't you see?
You got the best of me
Whoah can't you see?
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak
Bringin' on the heartache
You're bringin' on the heartbreak

Goodmorning Heartache by Ella Fitzgerald

Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night

I turned and tossed until it seems you heve gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop I'm saying to you
Good morning heartache what's new

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight to Sunday blues

Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You're the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down


Don't Break My Heart Slow by Vonda Shepard

I like the way you wanted me,
Every night for so long baby,
And I like the way you needed me,
Every time things got rocky.

I was believing in you,
Was I mistaken, do you say...do you say what you mean,
I want our love to last forever.

But I'd rather you be mean,
Then love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
And have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.

Nooooo
I like the way you'd hold me,
Every night, for so long baby,
I like the way you'd say my name,
In the middle of the night,
While you are sleeping.

I was believing in you,
Was I mistaken, do you mean...do you mean what you say,
When you say our love could last forever.

Well I'd rather you be mean,
Then love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
Than have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.

Nooo
You'd run around,
And lead me on forever,
While I'd wait at home,
Still thinking we're together,
I wanted our love to last forever.

I was believing in you....

I'd rather you be mean,
Then love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
Than have to say goodbye,
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know,
But baby, don't you break my heart slow.

Nooooo
Don't love and lie,
I'd rather hear the truth,
Then have to say goodbye.
I'd rather take a blow,
At least then I would know.
But, baby dont you break my heart slow.
Baby dont you break my heart ................slow
