The Fray - How To Save A Life

Listen to the song HERE

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Robbie Williams - Angels (english/spanish)

Listen to the song HERE

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we´re grey and old
´cos I´ve been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

and through it all she offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call she wont forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

Cuando estoy fatal, ya no se que hacer
Ni a donde ir
Me fijo en ti
Y te siento cerca pensando en mi

El cuerpo se me va
hacia donde tu estas
Mi vida cambio
El angel que quiero yo

De nuevo tu te cuelas en mis huesos
Dejandome tu beso
Junto al corazon
Y otra vez tu abriendome tus alas me sacas de las malas rachas de dolor
Por que tu eres el angel que quiero yo

De nuevo tu te cuelas en mis huesos
Dejandome tu beso
Junto al corazon
Y otra vez tu, abriendome tus alas me sacas de las malas rachas de dolor
Por que tu eres el angel que quiero yo

Evanescence - My Immortal

Listen to the song HERE

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

[My Immortal lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Listen to the song HERE

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words,
are said too much
they're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

Listen to the song HERE

I hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts

i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way

[Hurt lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song

Listen to the song HERE

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
for what I read between the lines,
your lies.
Feelin' like a hand in rusted shame
so do you laugh or does it cry?
reply?
leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied,
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things you said to me.

breathing is the hardest thing
to do. with all I've said and
all that's dead for you,
you lied - good bye
leavin' on a southern train
only yesterday you lied
promises of what I seemed to be
only watched the time go by,
all of these things I said to you.

[Interstate Love Song lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

Perl Jam - Last Kiss

Listen to the song HERE

Oh where oh where can my baby be
the lord took her away from me
she's gone to heaven so i got to be good
soI can see my baby whenI leave this world.

We were out on a date in my daddy's car
we hadn't driven very far
when up in the road, straight ahead
a car was stalled the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop so I swerved to the right
I'll never forget the sound that night
the screamin tires the bustin glass
the painful scream that I heard last.

(Chorus)

When I woke up the rain was pouring down
there were people standing all around
something warm flowin through my eyes
but somehow I found my baby that night
I lifted her head she looked at me and said
hold me close for just a little while
I held her tight I kissed her our last kiss
I found the love I knew I'd miss
( I forgot this line)
I lost my love my life that night

(chorus)

Paula Abdul - Straight Up

Listen to the song HERE

Lost in a dream - I don't know which way to go
(Let me say that) if you are all that you seem, then, baby, I'm moving way too slow

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slamming door
How about some information, please?

Straight up, now, tell me do you really want to love me forever, or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up, now, tell me is it gonna be you and me together, or are you just having fun?

Time's standing still waiting for some small clue
(Let me tell you now) I keep getting chills when I think that your love is true

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slamming door
How about some information, please?

Straight up, now, tell me do you really want to love me forever, or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up, now, tell me is it gonna be you and me together, or are you just having fun?

You are so hard to read
You play hide-and-seek with your true intentions
If you're only playing games I just have to say:
Do - do you love me?
(Do - do you love me, baby?)
Do - do you love me?
(Do - do you love me?)

(I hear you, baby)
Do - do you love me?
(Do - do you love me, baby?)
(Come on, now)
Do - do you love me?
(Do - do you love me?)
(Tell me, baby)

I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught in the slamming door
Are you more than hot for me, or am I a page in your history book?
I don't mean to make demands, but the words and the deed go hand-in-hand
How about some information, please?

Straight up, now, tell me
(Tell me)
Straight up, now, tell me
(Tell me)
Straight up, now, tell me
(Tell me)
Straight up, now, tell me
Straight up, now, tell me

Straight up, now, tell me do you really want to love me forever, or am I caught in a hit-and-run?
Straight up, now, tell me is it gonna be you and me together, or are you just having fun?

The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work

Listen to the song HERE

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again

Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Listen to the song HERE

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak,
I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks.
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap,
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black...

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,
Your advice...

Meat-Eating orchids forgive no one just yet.
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath.
Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left black,
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back...

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,

I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,
Your advice...

She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak,
I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks.
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap,
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black...

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,

Hey, wait,
I got a new complaint,
Forever in debt to your priceless advice,
Your advice,
Your advice,
Your advice,
Your advice...

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

Listen to the song HERE

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Yes, I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Sam The Sham & The Pharaos - Li'l Red Riding Hood

Listen to the song HERE

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why it's Little Red Ridin' Hood

Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big bad wolf would want

Listen to me

Little Red Ridin' Hood
I don't think even big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky old woods alone

What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So, just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a way

What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So, untill you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk, with me and be safe

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on

Till I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone

Little Red Ridin' Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't

What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little Red Ridin' Hood
Even bad wolves can be good

I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to grandma's place

Little Red Ridin' Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want

Blood Sweat & Tears - Spinning Wheel

Listen to the song HERE

What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin

You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn

Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride
Ride a painted pony let the spinning wheel fly

Cyndi Lauper - True Colors

Listen to the song HERE

You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

NWA - Straight outta Compton / TLC - Waterfalls

Listen to the song HERE

Straight outta Compton, crazy motherfucker named Ice Cube
From the gang called Niggaz With Attitudes
When I'm called off, I got a sawed off
Squeeze the trigger, and bodies are hauled off
You too, boy, if ya fuck with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me
Off yo ass, that's how I'm goin out
For the punk motherfuckers that's showin out
Niggaz start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a motherfucker like that
with a gat that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move

I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come
Leaving a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldem praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to a new
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope is for the folk who can't cope
With such an endurin' pain that it keeps 'em in the pouring rain
Who's to blame for shootin'caine into you're own vein
What a shame you shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane and name this day in time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

Here's a murder rap to keep yo dancin
with a crime record like Charles Manson
AK-47 is the tool
Don't make me act the motherfuckin fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
I'm knockin niggaz out tha box, daily
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb motherfuckers see clearly
that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can't fuck with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Ice Cube is crazy as fuck
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton

Madonna - Like A Prayer

Listen to the song HERE

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

Chorus:

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

(chorus)

Like a child you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a child
Now I'm dancing
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
Let the choir sing

(chorus)

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem
Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
