Aww man, lol. Ok well this time I'll be alot more selective with my lyrics. I'll start with ELO [Electric Light Orchestra]
ELO Lyrics "Turn to Stone"
The city streets are empty now THE LIGHTS DON'T SHINE NO MORE and so the songs are way down low TURNING TURNING TURNING A sound that flows into my mind THE ECHOES OF THE DAYLIGHT of everything that is alive IN MY BLUE WORLD
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on.
The dying embers of the night A FIRE THAT SLOWLY FADES TILL DAWN still glow upon the wall so bright TURNING TURNING TURNING The tired streets that hide away FROM HERE TO EVERYWHERE THEY GO roll past my door into the day IN MY BLUE WORLD
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on. Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
Yes, I'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home. Why you ain't comin' home if I'm turnin' to stone? You've been gone for so long and I can't carry on, yes, I'm turnin', I'm turnin', I'm turnin' to stone.
The dancing shadows on the wall THE TWO-STEP IN THE HALL are all I see since you've been gone TURNING TURNING TURNING Through all I sit here and I wait I TURN TO STONE I TURN TO STONE You will return again some day TO MY BLUE WORLD
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on. Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone.
I turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. Turn to stone when you comin' home, I can't go on. Turn to stone when you are gone, I turn to stone. [/size]

Tears For Fears Lyrics "Mad World"
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places, worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere, going nowhere And their tears are filling up their glasses No expression, no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow, no tomorrow And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take When people run in circles It's a very, very Mad World Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen, sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me, no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson Look right through me, look right through me
(Although I do like Gary Jules version better.)

Gilbert O'Sullivan Lyrics "Alone Again (Naturally)"
In a little while from now, If I'm not feeling any less sour I promised myself to treat myself And visit a nearby tower, And climbing to the top, Will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to who Ever what it's like when your shattered Left standing in the lurch, at a church Where people 're saying, "My God that's tough, she stood him up! No point in us remaining. May as well go home." As I did on my own, Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday, I was cheerful, bright and gay, Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do, The role I was about to play But as if to knock me down, Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch, Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt, All about God and His mercy For if He really does exist Why did He desert me In my hour of need? I truly am indeed, Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that There are more hearts Broken in the world That can't be mended Left unattended What do we do? What do we do?
(instrumental break)
Now looking back over the years, And what ever else that appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to have cried the tears And at sixty-five years old, My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand, why the only man She had ever loved had been taken Leaving her to start with a heart So badly broken Despite encouragement from me No words were ever spoken And when she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again, naturally Alone again, naturally

Radiohead Lyrics "Creep"
When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fuckin special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin here? I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul I want you to notice, when I'm not around You're so fuckin special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin here? I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh
She's running out again... She's running out, she runs, runs, runs, runs... runs...
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin here? I don't belong here I don't belong here

Queen Lyrics "Somebody to Love"
Can anybody find me somebody to love? Each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet Take a look in the mirror and cry Lord what you're doing to me I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord! Somebody, somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life I work till I ache my bones At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own - I get down on my knees And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord - somebody - somebody Can anybody find me - somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday - I try and I try and I try - But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm goin' crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Got no common sense I got nobody left to believe Yeah - yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord Somebody - somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat I'm ok, I'm alright Ain't gonna face no defeat I just gotta get out of this prison cell Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love? --------------------- Queen "Show must go On"
Empty spaces - what are we living for Abandoned places - I guess we know the score On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for... Another hero, another mindless crime Behind the curtain, in the pantomime Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore The show must go on, The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking My make-up may be flaking But my smile still stays on. Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance Another heartache, another failed romance On and on, does anybody know what we are living for? I guess I'm learning, I must be warmer now I'll soon be turning, round the corner now Outside the dawn is breaking But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free The show must go on The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking My make-up may be flaking But my smile still stays on My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die I can fly - my friends The show must go on The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin I'm never giving in On - with the show - I'll top the bill, I'll overkill I have to find the will to carry on On with the - On with the show - The show must go on...

Elliot Smith Lyrics "Needle In the Hay"
Your hand on his arm The hay stack charm around your neck Strung out and thin Calling some friend trying to cash some check He's acting dumb That's what you've come to expect Needle in the hay (x4)
He's wearing yourr clothes Head down to toes a reaction to you You say you know what he did But you idiot kid You don't have a clue Sometimes they just get caught in the eye You're pulling him through Needle in the hay (x4)
Now on the bus Nearly touching this dirty retreat Falling out 6th and powell a dead sweat in my teeth Gonna walk walk walk Four more blocks plus one in my break Down down downstairs to the man He's gonna make it all ok
I can't beat myself I can't beat myself And I don't want to talk I'm taking the cure so I can be quiet Whenever I want So leave me alone You ought to be proud that I'm getting good marks Needle in the hay (x4) ----------------- Elliot Smith "Happiness"
Activity's killing the actor And a cop's standing out in the road Turning traffic away There was nothing she could do untill after When his body'd been buried below Way back in the day
Oh my Nothing else could have been done Made his life a lie so He might Never have to know anyone Made his life the lie, you know
I told him that he shouldn't upset her And that he'd only be making it worse Invloving somebody else But I knew that he'd never forget her While her memory worked in reverse To keep her safe from herself
And oh my Nothing else could have been done She made her life a lie so She might Never have to know anyone Made her life the lie, you know
What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me What I used to be will pass away And then you'll see That all I want now is happiness For you and me All I want now is happiness For you and me

I'm so tired of being alone I'm so tired of on-my-own Won't you help me girl Just as soon as you can

Aaron Neville Lyrics "Everybody plays the Fool"
Ok, so your heart is broken You’re sitting around mopin’, mopin’, mopin’, cryin’, cryin’ You say you’re even thinking about dying Well, before you do anything rash, baby, listen to this
Everybody plays the fool, sometime There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying Everybody plays the fool
Fallin’ in love is such an easy thing to do But there’s no guarantee that the one you love, is gonna love you Oh, loving eyes they cannot see a certain person could never be Love runs deeper than any ocean, it clouds you’re mind with emotion
Everybody plays the fool, sometime There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying Everybody plays the fool
How can you help it, when the music starts to play And your ability to reason, is swept away Oh, heaven on earth is all you see, you’re out of touch with reality And now you cry, but when you do, next time around someone cries for you
Hey, everybody plays the fool, sometime Use your heart just like a tool, listen baby They never tell you so in school, I wanna say it again, Everybody plays the fool
Everybody plays the fool, sometime There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby It may be factual, it may be cruel, I ain’t lying Everybody plays the fool
Every plays the fool, sometime There’s no exception to the rule, listen baby It may be factual, it may be cruel, I wanna say it again Everybody plays the fool

The Beatles Lyrics "Blackbird"
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waiting for this moment to arrive (x3)

Pink Floyd Lyrics "Wishing You Were Here"
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. ------------------ Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smokes on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain it you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb.
I have become comfortably numb.
O.K. Just a little pinprick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go.
There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smokes on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a flitting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. but I have become comfortably numb. ------------------------- Pink Floyd "Brain Damage"
The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon
The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the clouds bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon .

Collective Soul Lyrics "Forgiveness"
In my silence I would love to forget But restitution hasn’t come quite yet And with one accord I keep moving forth I stretch my heart to heal some more It used to be all I want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth By now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you As my seasons change I’ve now grown to know When one’s heart creates, one’s soul doesn’t owe So I wash away stains of yesterday Then tempt my heart with loves display ------------------------ Collective Soul "Run"
Are these times contagious I’ve never been this bored before Is this the prize I’ve waited for Now with the hours passing There’s nothing left here to insure I long to find a messenger
Have I got a long way to run (x2) Yeah, I run
Is there a cure among us From this processed sanity I weaken with each voice that sings Now, in this world of purchase I’m going to buy back memories To awaken some old qualities
Have I got a long way to run (x2) Yeah, I run Yeah, I run
Have I got a long way (x2) Have I got a long way to run (x2)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run) (x4)

Oasis Lyrics "Don't look Back in Anger"
Slip inside the eye of your mind Don't you know you might find A better place to play
You said that you've never been (sounds like 'bean' in order to rhyme w/'seen') But all the things that you've seen They slowly fade away
So I'll start a revolution from my bed 'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in anger I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows If it's not our day
Please don't put your life in the hands Of a rock and roll band [And? You'll?] throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed 'Cuz you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, 'cuz summertime's in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face 'Cuz you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger I heard you say
So, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as we're walking on by Her soul slides away But don't look back in anger I heard you say
So, Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by My soul slides away But don't look back in anger Don't look back in anger I heard you say
At least not today.

H.I.M Lyrics "Poison Girl"
I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl
A prey she was for the cruelty of love While its serpent inside crawled straight towards her heart The coldest kiss love ceased to exist While we grew apart like never before
{I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl}(x2)
the fire in her eyes grew dim and then died as the poison inside reached her heart
And the coldest kiss faith ceased to exist as we grew apart like never before
{I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl}(x2)
And the taste of the poison on her lips is of a tomb
{I did it all just for her I did it all just for her And love wants us dead Just me and my poison girl}(x2)
Poison girl (4X)
And love's heart is death For me and my poison girl In this poison world -------------------- H.I.M "Solitary Man"
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holdin' Jim and lovin' him.
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought, but me and Sue, that died, too.
Don't know that I will but until I can find me, a girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me.
I'll be what I am, a solitary man (x3)
I've had it to here - being where love's a small word, a part time thing, a paper ring. I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you, right or wrong, weak or strong.
Don't know that I will but until I can find me, a girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me.
I'll be what I am, a solitary man (x4) -------------- H.I.M "Join Me"
We are so young our lives have just begun But already we are considering ercape from this world
And we've waited for so long for this moment to come We're anxious to be together together in death
Chorus: Won't you die tonight for love (Baby join me in death) So will you die (Baby join me in death) Won't you die tonight for love (Baby join me in death) So will you die (Baby join me in death)
This world is so cruel place and we're here only to lose So before light taers us apart let death bless me with you
(Chorus)
This life ain't worth living ... (Join me, Join me, Join me, Join me, Join me)
(Chorus)
You can join me in death...

Marvin Gaye Lyrics "Mercy Mercy Me"
Oh, mercy mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be No, no Where did all the blue sky go? Poison is the wind that blows From the north, east, south, and sea Oh, mercy mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be No, no Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas Fish full of mercury Oh, mercy mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be No, no Radiation in the ground and in the sky Animals and birds who live nearby are dying Oh, mercy mercy me Oh, things ain't what they used to be What about this overcrowded land? How much more abuse from man can you stand? My sweet Lord My sweet Lord My sweet Lord
Simply Red Lyrics "If You Don't Know Me By Now"
If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me
All the things that we've been through You should understand me like I understand you Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home Oh don't get so excited when I come home a little late at night Cos we only act like children when we argue fuss and fight
If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me) You will never never never know me (No you won't) If you don't know me by now You will never never never know me
We've all got our own funny moods I've got mine, woman you've got yours too Just trust in me like I trust in you As long as we've been together it should be so easy to do Just get yourself together or we might as well say goodbye What good is a love affair when you can't see eye to eye, oh
If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me) You will never never never know me (No you won't) If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me) You will never never never know me (ooh)
