Original by Leftfield Sonically we're in control We're the diamond in your soul Images come thick and fast From the future, from the past The film starts, the film ends, Nothing is said in between. Just sudden moments from someone else's story, Will it ever be the same again? Hours filled with conversation, no attention paid. Too distracting convention, no need for friends. Will it ever be the same again? Will it ever be the same again? You're original, with your own path You're original, got your own way (x2) Will it ever be the same again? (x2) I need to hear that again Because a dream starts, and a dream must end. My mother told me, don't ever change You're original, in your own way My mother told me, don't ever change You're original, got your own path You're original (x2) Will it ever be the same again? (x2) I need to hear that again Because a dream starts, and a dream must end. You're original (x5)

The Denial Twist by The White Stripes If you think that a kiss is all in the lips C'mon, you got it all wrong, man And if you think that our dance was all in the hips Oh well, then do the twist If you think holding hands is all in the fingers Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and Make sure to never do it with a singer Cause he'll tell everyone in the world What he was thinking about the girl Ya, what he's thinking about the girl, oh A lot of people get confused and they bruise Real easy when it comes to love They start putting on their shoes and walking out And singing 'boy, I think I had enough' Just because she makes a big rumpus She don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy Take a tip and do yourself a little service Take a mountain turn it into a mole Just by playing a different role Ya, by playing a different role, oh The boat ya you know she's rockin' it And the truth well ya know there's no stoppin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it So what, somebody left you in a rut And wants to be the one who's in control But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder How the hell she can be so cold So now you're left, denying the truth And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth Ya need ta spit it out, in a telephone booth While ya call everyone that you know, and ask 'em Where do you think she goes Oh ya, where d'ya suppose she goes, oh The truth well you know there's no stoppin' it And the boat well ya know she's still rockin' it The boat ya you know she's still rockin' it And the truth ya you know there's no stoppin' it You recognize the effect and the wreck That it's causing when she rocks the boat Well it's the cause hittin on the Cardinal Laws 'bout the proper place to hang her coat So to you, the truth is still hidden And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but You should know that the doctors weren't kidding She's been singing it all along But you were hearin' a different song Ya you were hearin' a different song But you were hearin' a different song

Just Like Heaven by The Cure 'Show me how you do that trick The one that makes me scream' she said 'The one that makes me laugh' she said And threw her arms around my neck 'Show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you' Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow 'Why are you so far away?' she said 'Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you? That I'm in love with you?' You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream... Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone Alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven

Decent Days and Nights by The Futureheads This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues If you know the clues it's easy to get through But you look confused and you dont know what to do Its hard to get an answer when you havent got a clue If you work it out tell me what you find If the least you can do is show some restraint Then the most you can do is get carried away But you look confused and you dont know what to do Say what you see, what you like If you work it out tell me what you find We can have a few decent days and nights If you're meant to be here and you wnat to be late The best thing you can do is get lost on the way I can see that you look confused and you dont know what to do Say what you see, what you like If you work it out tell me what you find We can have a few decent days and nights If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game 'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again This is a brand new problem, a problem without any clues If you know the clues it's easy to get through But you look confused and you dont know what to do Its hard to get an answer when you havent got a clue If you want to make a guess you should know its not a game 'cause you'll never get a chance to make another guess again If you work it out tell me what you find

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead by Stars God that was strange to see you again Introduced by a friend of a friend Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before' In that instant it started to pour, Captured a taxi despite all the rain We drove in silence across Pont Champlain And all of the time you thought I was sad I was trying to remember your name... This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in Now you're outside me You see all the beauty Repent all your sin It's nothing but time and a face that you lose I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose I'll write you a postcard I'll send you the news From a house down the road from real love... Live through this, and you won't look back... Live through this, and you won't look back... Live through this, and you won't look back... There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave You were what I wanted I gave what I gave I'm not sorry I met you I'm not sorry it's over I'm not sorry there's nothing to say I'm not sorry there's nothing to say...

Dirty Harry - Gorillaz I need a gun to keep myself from harm The poor people are burning in the sun But they ain't got a chance They ain't got a chance I need a gun Cos all I do is dance Cos all I do is dance I need a gun to keep myself from harm The poor people are burning in the sun No, they ain't got a chance They ain't got a chance I need a gun Cos all I do is dance Cos all I do is dance In my backpack I got my act right In case you act quite difficult And your result weakin' With anger and discontent Some are seekin in seach of like Nimoy I'm a peace-loving decoy Ready for retaliation I change the whole location to a pine box six-under Impulsive-don't ask why or wonder Orders given unto me is: strike and I'm thunder with lightning fast reflexes on constant alert from the constant hurt that seems limitless with no drop in pressure Seems like everybody's out to test ya 'til they see your brake You can't conceal the hate that consumes you I'm the reason you can fill up your Isuzu. Chill with your old lady at the tilt I got a 90 days extension And I'm filled with guilt From things that I've seen Your water's from a bottle mine's from a canteen At night I hear the shots Ring so I'm a light sleeper The cost of life, it seems to get cheaper out in the desert with my street sweeper The war is over So said the speaker with his flight suit on Maybe to him I'm just a pawn So he can advance Remember when I used to dance Man, all I want to do is dance (Dance!) (Dance!) (Dance!) I need a gun to keep myself from harm

You Were Right by Badly Drawn Boy And you, were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery, well the good things are never free, do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone, And I, was rushin' round in circles for a reason to believe, wipe the slime from off your sleeve, you could follow me for weeks and i'm not goin' anywhere, Sometimes it's hard to love someone, until the day that they are gone, And I, just had a dream the other night, I was married to the Queen, and Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me, and the kids were all grown up, but i had to turn her down coz i was still in love with you, I'm turnin' madonna down, i'm callin' it my best move, i'll get a ticket to what you need, I, remember doin' nothin' on the night Sinatra died, and the night Jeff Buckley died, and the night Kurt Cobain died, and the night John Lennon died, I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone, And that was a lot of nights, and that was a lot of lives, they lost the tickets to what they need, And I, was busy findin' answers while you just got on with real life, always hoped you'd be my wife, but i never found the time, for the question to arrive, I just disguised it in this song, And songs, are never quite the answer, just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon, helps to turn the days to night, while i was wrong and you were right, And this was a lesson learned, I'm happy to be your fool, and get you tickets to what you need, I'm turnin' the lights down low, i'm ready to make my move, i'll get you tickets to what you need.

heres one im listening to now Leonard Cohen - That dont make it junk I fought against the bottle, But I had to do it drunk – Took my diamond to the pawnshop – But that don’t make it junk. I know that I’m forgiven, But I don’t know how I know I don’t trust my inner feelings – Inner feelings come and go. How come you called me here tonight? How come you bother With my heart at all? You raise me up in grace, Then you put me in a place, Where I must fall. Too late to fix another drink – The lights are going out – I’ll listen to the darkness sing – I know what that’s about. I tried to love you my way, But I couldn’t make it hold. So I closed the Book of Longing And I do what I am told. How come you called me here tonight? How come you bother with my heart at all? You raise me up in grace, Then you put me in a place, Where I must fall. I fought against the bottle, But I had to do it drunk – Took my diamond to the pawnshop – But that don’t make it junk.

BLUR LYRICS 'Out Of Time' Where's the love song? To set us free Too many people down Everything turning the wrong way around And I don't know what love will be But if we start dreaming now Lord knows we'll never leave the clouds [CHORUS:] And you've been so busy lately that you haven't found the time To open up your mind And watch the world spinning gently out of time Feel the sunshine on your face It's in a computer now Gone are the future, way out in space [REPEAT CHORUS (x2)] Tell me I'm not dreaming but are we out of time? (We're) out of time Out of time [x4]

Paul, tHoobastank have got a weird name, but are a real good band. Blink 182 - Stay Together for the Kids Its hard to wake up When the shades have been pulled shut This house is haunted It's so pathetic It makes no sense at all I'm ripe with things to say the words rot and fall away If a stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day So here's your holiday hope you enjoy it this time you gave it all away It was mine So when your dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right The anger hurts my ears Been running strong for seven years Rather then fix the problem They never solve them It makes no sense at all I see them everyday We get along so why can't they? If this is what he wants And its what she wants Then whys there so much pain? So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when your dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right So here's your holiday Hope you enjoy it this time You gave it all away It was mine So when your dead and gone Will you remember this night Twenty years now lost It's not right Gem:)))

Paul if you like The Reason by Hoobastank, listen to Crawling in the Dark by them, another good tune. Crawling in the Dark I will dedicate And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth Of how my story's ending And I wish I could know if the directions that I take And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Help me carry on Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes To navigate the darkness Will the ending be ever coming suddenly? Will I ever get to see the ending to my story? Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer So when and how will I know? How much further do I have to go? How much longer until I finally know? Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me In front of me Show me what it's for Make me understand it I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Is there something more than what i've been handed? I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer Gem:)))

Not really the sort of thing I go for normally, but I quite like this song... Hoobastank 'Reason' i'm not a perfect person, there are many things i wish i didn't do but i continue learning. i never meant to do those things to you and so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be a reason to start over new, and the reason is you i'm sorry that i hurt you, its something i must live with everyday and all the pain i put you through, i wish that i could take it all away and be the one who catches your tears, thats why i need you to hear i'm not a perfect person, i never meant to do those things to you and so i hate to say before i go, that i just want you to know i've found a reason for me, to change who i used to be a reason to start over new, and the reason is you i've found a reason to show a side of me you didn't know a reason for all that i do, and that reason is you

Haitian Divorce by Steely Dan Babs and clean willie were in love they said So in love the preacher’s face turned red Soon everybody knew the thing was dead He shouts, she bites, they wrangle through the night She go crazy Got to make a getaway Papa say Chorus: Oh - no hesitation No tears and no hearts breakin’ No remorse Oh - congratulations This is your haitian divorce She takes the taxi to the good hotel Bon marché as far as she can tell She drinks the zombie from the cocoa shell She feels alright, she get it on tonight Mister driver Take me where the music play Papa say Chorus At the grotto In the greasy chair Sits the charlie with the lotion and the kinky hair When she smiled, she said it all The band was hot so They danced the famous merengue Now we dolly back Now we fade to black Tearful reunion in the usa Day by day those memories fade away Some babies grow in a peculiar way It changed, it grew, and everybody knew Semi-mojo Who’s this kinky so-and-so?
