Music Lyrics

The grabbing hands grab all they can: all for themselves. After all, it's a competitive world, everything counts in large amounts.
 
Oh, yeah
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
So don’t try to change me
So don’t try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go
So don’t try to change me
So don’t try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go

You know I, I had my, my life straight
You said you could handle it
But you lied cause you tried
To change me, move me, oh
Everything you loved before,
You don’t love no more
Everything I did with you,
You don’t want no more
Maybe I’m not that kind of girl you’ve been lookin’ for
But you agreed, so how can you not see?

You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go

Why must I, decide on,
Whether I love you or the world
You met me, and fell deeply
In love with me so what is the problem now?
Everything you loved before
You don’t love no more
Everything I did for you, you don’t want no more
Well maybe I’m not quite the man you've been lookin’ for
Would you agree?
So how can you not see?

You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go

Why would you wanna change me?
Arrange me, is that what you call love?
Maybe you need somebody different
Somebody who fits you like a glove
But don't change, everything that you love
About me when you know that i love you

You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
You know that I love you
You know that I love you
You know that I need you
You're my air, I breathe you
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me?
Baby I will let you go
So don't try to change me
So don't try to change me
Why would you change me?
Why would you change me?
Baby i will let you go
 
Oh man, how did I never find this thread?!
I love lyrics. So much. I've resisted for putting hundreds on here. ...maybe later =P

That's That - Say Anything
If you seek pleasure in pain and comfort in the rain and having an open heart
And you can't sit through a class, you're head is half up in the clouds
Half up your ass
If dark days and bright nights make your world turn
Throw a finger up, light it up and let it burn
You may be lonely but you're not alone
If your tears come out like kidney stones
Stand up proud
We're screaming even if its not out loud
Complicate the world
We're an army of Cusack boys and Molly Ringwald girls
You don't speak words you exhale them
Keep them locked inside, you fail them
Old habits die hard, but there corpses always stay to haunt you
When starlight burns bright in the black sky
We'll be driving out, screaming towards the overpass
Rocking in, rocking out to the radio
Roll your windows down
Bump that Manilow
In every school in every home there is another sap like you
We're in the park looking up at the stars with nothing else to do
One day you'll me another one and you'll get kicked out of our club; we never win in love
And we are the one who never see why growing up has got to be like war
Its touchy feely but its true: there's a loser in the same position
Standing next to you
Starlight burns bright in the black sky
We do what we want.

 Beneath A Phrygian Sky - Loreena McKennitt
The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy

A voice from down the ages
So in haunting in its song
These ancient stones will tell us
Our love must make us strong

The breeze it wrapped around me
As I stood there on the shore
And listened to this voice
Like I never heard before

Our battles they may find us
No choice may ours to be
But hold the banner proudly
The truth will set us free

My mind was called across the years
Of rages and of strife
Of all the human misery
And all the waste of life

We wondered where our God was
In the face of so much pain
I looked up to the stars above
To find you once again

We travelled the wide oceans
Heard many call your name
With sword and gun and hatred
It all seemed much the same

Some used your name for glory
Some used it for their gain
Yet when liberty lay wanting
No lives were lost in vain

Is it not our place to wonder
As the sky does weep with tears
And all the living creatures
Look on with mortal fear

It is ours to hold the banner
Is ours to hold it long
It is ours to carry forward
Our love must make us strong

And as the warm wind carried
Its song into the night
I closed my eyes and tarried
Until the morning light

As the last star it shimmered
And the new sun's day gave birth
It was in this magic moment
Came this prayer for mother earth

Reprise:

The moonlight it was dancing
On the waves, out on the sea
The stars of heaven hovered
In a shimmering galaxy

A voice from down the ages
So in haunting in its song
The ancient stones will tell us
Our love will make us strong

Hate Me - Blue October
I have to block out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape, to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, and a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, will you never call again?
And will you never say that you loved me, just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for 3 whole months, it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so f*cking far away that I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling, "Make it go away," just make a smile
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you.
For You
For You
For You.

Common People - Pulp
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people, I want to live with common people [etc..]


The Call - Regina Spektor
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

Somewhere in the Between - Streetlight Manifesto
You were gone when we found you
You were practically surrounded, you were trapped
But the opposition stalled, their blood ran cold
When they saw the look of love in your eyes

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of the plan
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the alpha, omega, beginning and the end
And we all just idolize the dead

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

You had a love and that love had you
And nothing mattered, you were fine
And some will complain, they're just bitter, what a shame
They know that loving and losing is better than nothing at all

Maybe the times we had, they weren't that bad
And everything else was part of our path
We sang: "I don't know where we go from here"
This is the anthem, the slogan, the summary of events
And we all just idealize the past

So you were born, and that was a good day
Someday you'll die, and that is a shame
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away

And someday soon my friends, this ride will come to an end
But we can't just get in line again

Anthem of the Angels- Breaking Benjamin
White walls surround us
No light will touch your face again
Rain taps the window
As we sleep among the dead

Days go on forever
But i have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will i

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye

Cold light above us
Hope fills the heart
And fades away
Skin white as winter
As the sky returns to grey

Days go on forever
But i have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will i

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But i can't bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
Then say the last goodbye

Your're dead alive.

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But i can't bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye

Talk - Coldplay
Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me

So you take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done

So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk

Follow On - Dan

Closer to the Heart - Rush

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
Mold a new reality
Closer to the heart

Blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and Plowmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart

You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
 
Punishment fitting, I'm lifting and
lifting, no more acquittal, severe yet so simple, play your vendetta, a
weightless sonata, ascension getting, an act I am regretting.
 
If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanor
But one of us misread...
And what do you know
It happened again

A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn't notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again

How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

- Kings of Convenience, Misread

i am not a pretty girl
that is not what i do
i ain't no damsel in distress
and i don't need to be rescued
so put me down punk
maybe you'd prefer a maiden fair
isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

i am not an angry girl
but it seems like i've got everyone fooled
every time i say something they find hard to hear
they chalk it up to my anger
and never to their own fear
and imagine you're a girl
just trying to finally come clean
knowing full well they'd prefer you
were dirty and smiling

and i am sorry
i am not a maiden fair
and i am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere

and generally my generation
wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
and generally i agree with them
trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
and i have earned my disillusionment
i have been working all of my life
and i am a patriot
i have been fighting the good fight
and what if there are no damsels in distress
what if i knew that and i called your bluff?
don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down
whether or not you ever show up

i am not a pretty girl
i don't want to be a pretty girl
no i want to be more than a pretty girl
