Personal Jesus


Johnny Cash (Depeche Mode cover)


Your own, personal, Jesus

someone to hear your prayers,

someone who cares

Your own, personal, Jesus

someone to hear your prayers,

someone who's there

Feeling unknown

and you're all alone,

flesh and bone,

by the telephone,

lift up the receiver,

I'll make you a believer

Take second best,

put me to the test,

things on your chest,

you need to confess,

I will deliver,

you know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

Your own, personal, Jesus

someone to hear your prayers,

someone who cares

Your own, personal, Jesus

someone to hear your prayers,

someone to care

Feeling unknown

and you're all alone,

flesh and bone,

by the telephone,

lift up the receiver,

I'll make you a believer

I will deliver,

you know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

Reach out and touch faith

Sorrow


Levinhurst





What am I suppose to do with this?

There?s a hole where nothing can exist.

I always thought that I was free.

Now there?s nothing left that?s me.

What am I suppose to do with this?

There?s a hole where nothing can exist.

I always thought that I was free.

Now there?s nothing left that?s me.

What am I suppose to do with you?

Empty words that don?t ring true.

I always thought that you were free.

Now there?s nothing left for me.

What am I suppose to do with this?

There?s a hole where nothing can exist. X 4

Wish you were here


Incubus


I dig my toes into the sand

The ocean looks like

A thousand diamonds strewn

Across a blue blanket

I lean against the wind

Pretend I am weightless

And in this moment

I am happy happy

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand

The sky resembles

A backlit canopy

With holes punched in it

I'm counting UFOs

I signal them with my lighter

And in this moment

I am happy happy

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

The world's a rollercoaster

And I am not strapped in

Maybe I should hold with care

My hands are busy in the air

Saying

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

I wish you were here

Getaway Car


Audioslave


The first time I saw you you were

Chasin down

A cyclone

All alone in the field

With railyards and clovers I kept rollin on

Never thought youd wind up chasin

Me

I settle down

I wont hesitate

To hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste no

I'll settle up and I'll help you find something to drive

Before you drown yourself

Your tired of walkin

And you loathe the ground

The sidewalk barely touch your feet

Black moons to slowly to hold you down

With ring hand you take it out on me

Settle down

I wont hesitate to hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste

Saddle up and I'll help you find something to drive

Before you drive me insane

So get yourself a car

Drive it all alone

Get ourself a car

And ride it on the wind

Get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind yea

Yea well settle down

I wont hesitate to hit the highway

Before you lay me to waste

Settle up and I'll help you find something to drive

Before you drive me insane

Get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind

Get yourself a car

And drive it all alone

Get yourself a car

And ride it on the wind

Those Sweet Words


Norah Jones


What did you say

I know I saw you singing

My ears won't stop ringing

Long enough to hear

Those sweet words

What did you say

End of the day

The hour hand has spun

Before the night is done

I just have to hear

Those sweet words

Spoken like a melody

All your love

Is a lost balloon

Rising up through the afternoon

'Til it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in

Did you have a hard time sleeping

'Cause a heavy moon was keeping me awake

And all I know is I'm just glad to see you again

See my love

Like a lost balloon

Rising up through the afternoon

And then you appear

What did you say

I know you were singing

My ears won't stop ringing

Long enough to hear

Those sweet words

And your simple melody

I just have to hear

Your sweet words

Spoken like a melody

I just wanna hear

Those sweet words

Sunrise


Norah Jones


Sunrise

Sunrise

Looks like morning in your eyes

But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise

Sunrise

Couldn't tempt us if it tried

Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said

Hooo, hooo, hooo

To you

Surprise

Surprise

Couldn't find it in your eyes

But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise

Surprise

Never something I could hide

When I see we made it through another day

Then I say

Hooo, hooo, hooo

To you

And now the night

Will throw its cover down, ooo, on me again

Ooh, and if I'm right

It's the only way to bring me back

Hooo, hooo, hooo

To you

Hooo, yeah, hooo, hooo

To you

Turn Me On


Norah Jones


Like a flower

Waiting to bloom

Like a lightbulb

In a dark room

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain

Like a school kid waiting for the spring

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart

It's been so dark

Since you've been gone

After all you're the one who turns me off

You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune

My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

What a Wonderful World


Willie Nelson





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 ever know

And I think to myself what a wonderful world

And I think to myself what a wonderful world

One Flight Down


Norah Jones


One flight down

There's a song on low

And your mind just picked up on the sound

Now you know you're wrong

Because it drifts like smoke

And it's been there playing all along

Now you know

Now you know

The reeds and brass have been weaving

Leading into a single note

In this place

Where your arms unfold

Here at least you see your ancient face

Now you know

Now you know

The cadence rolls in broken

Plays it over and then goes

One flight down

There's a song on low

And it's been there playing all along

Now you know

Now you know

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Mother told me, yes, she told me I'd meet girls like you.

She also told me, "Stay away, you'll never know what you'll catch."

Just the other day I heard a soldier falling off some Indonesian junk that's going round.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Father says, "Your mother's right, she's really up on things."

"Before we married, Mommy served in the WACS in the Philippines."

Now, I had heard the WACS recruited old maids for the war.

But mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pD8ymBR2Ufo&feature=related]YouTube - Cheap Trick - Surrender[/ame]

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Whatever happened to all this season's losers of the year?

Ev'ry time I got to thinking, where'd they disappear?

When I woke up, Mom and Dad are rolling on the couch.

Rolling numbers, rock and rolling, got my Kiss records out.

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright, they just seem a little weird.

Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away, ay, ay, ay.

Away.

Away.

Repeat Chorus 7X

George Michael - Teacher

Ive had enough of danger

People on the streets

Im looking out for Angels

Just tryin to find some peace

I think its time

That you let me know

So if you love me,say you love me

But if you dont just let me go

Cuz teacher there are things that I dont want to learn

And the last one I had made me cry

So I dont wanna learn to hold you,touch you

I think that your mine

Becuz there aint no joy

For an uptown boy

Whos teacher has told him Good bye..Goodbye...Goodbye

When you were just a stranger

And I was at your feet

I didnt feel the danger

Now I feel the heat

That look in your eyes

Tellin me no

So you think that you love me

Know that you need me

I wrote this song,I know its wrong,Just let me go

Teacher there are things that I dont want to learn

And the last one I had made me cry

So I dont wanna learn to hold you,touch you

I think that your mine

Cuz there aint no joy

For an uptown boy

Whos teacher has told him Goodbye

So when you say that you need me

That you'll never leave me

I know your wrong,your not that strong

Let me go

Teacher there are things that I still have to learn

But the one thing I have

Is my pride

Oh so I dont wanna learn to hold you,touch you

I think that your mine

Becuz there aint no joy

For an uptown boy

Who just isnt willing to try

Im so cold Inside

Maybe Just one more try

Dr Hook - Who the is Alice

Sally called when she got the word

She said, I suppose you heard?about Alice.

So I rushed to the window and I looked outside

And I could hardly believe my eyes

As the big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive

Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

24 years just waiting for a chance

To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

We grew up together, two kids in the park

We carved our initials deep in the bark?me and Alice

As she walks to the door with her head held high

Just for a moment I caught her eye

As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

24 years just waiting for a chance

To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

Sally called back, asked how I felt

She said, I know how to help?Get over Alice

She said now Alice is gone but I'm still here

You know, I've been waiting 24 years

And the big limousine disappeared

Oh I don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

24 years just waiting for a chance

To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

(ALICE, WHO THE IS ALICE)

Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

Teacher


Jethro Tull


Well the dawn was coming,

Heard him ringing on my bell.

He said, ``my names the teacher,

That is what I call myself.

And I have a lesson

That I must impart to you.

Its an old expression

But I must insist its true.

Jump up, look around,

Find yourself some fun,

No sense in sitting there hating everyone.

No mans an island and his castle isn't home,

The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.

So I took a journey,

Threw my world into the sea.

With me went the teacher

Who found fun instead of me.

Hey man, whats the plan, what was that you said?

Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.

I try to socialize but I cant seem to find

What I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Then the teacher told me

It had been a lot of fun.

Thanked me for his ticket

And all that I had done.

Hey man, whats the plan, what was that you said?

Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.

I try to socialize but I cant seem to find

What I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Well I never been much for admitting things

That`s why it`s all so hard to say

That I`m head over heels in love with your kind of insanity

And if it please your highness on a sunny day sometime

Can I take your picture in the park with silk and satin oh?

Star Baby

Flshy little shiny little two timin` mama singin`

Star Baby

Shiny little flashy litle lovin` machine

I`ve never been much good at keepin` a secret

Now it`s easy for me to say

That I`m head over heels shook up about the way that you fool with me. And

if it please you highness on a sunny day sometime Can you take me riding

babe I`ll tell you what I`m thinkin` `bout you

Well I saw you last night on a hollywood show

And now it`s easy for me to say

That I`m head over heels shook up about the way that you sang to me

And if it please your highness on a sunny day sometime

Can you take me drivin` maybe kissin` in you Cadillac

Anyone For Tennis


Cream


Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears

An auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years

And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice.

Anyone for tennis, wouldnt that be nice?

And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of ****** beer

While the beggars stain the pavements with flourescent christmas cheer

And the bentley-driving guru is putting up his price.

Anyone for tennis, wouldnt that be nice?

And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope

With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes

And you can tell theyre all the same underneath the pretty lies.

Anyone for tennis, wouldnt that be nice?

The yellow buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo

You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too

And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice.

Anyone for tennis, wouldnt that be nice?

Change The World


Eric Clapton


If I can reach the stars,

Pull one down for you,

Shine it on my heart

So you could see the truth:

That this love I have inside

Is everything it seems.

But for now I find

Its only in my dreams.

And I can change the world,

I will be the sunlight in your universe.

You would think my love was really something good,

Baby if I could change the world.

And if I could be king,

Even for a day,

Id take you as my queen;

Id have it no other way.

And our love would rule

This kingdom we had made.

Till then Id be a fool,

Wishing for the day...

That I can change the world,

I would be the sunlight in your universe.

You would think my love was really something good,

Baby if I could change the world.

Baby if I could change the world.

I could change the world,

I would be the sunlight in your universe.

You would think my love was really something good,

Baby if I could change the world.

Baby if I could change the world.

Baby if I could change the world.

Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show -Carry me, Carrie

Second Street and Broadway,

Sittin' in a doorway,

Head held in his hands.

Looked to all the world like he was prayin'.

Foot wrapped in an old rag,

Bottle in a brown bag,

I saw him try to stand.

Then I heard the words that he was sayin', yeah.

He said, "Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther, yeah.

Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile.

(Ach, no, no, no.)

I don't know where it's leadin' to,

But I know I can make it if I lean on you.

So, come on Carrie, carry me a little, yes.

I carried you, now carry me a little.

Come on Carrie, carry me a little while."

Well he struggled to his feet,

And staggered down the street,

To the window of a five-and-dime.

He stood and laughed a while at his reflection.

And then I heard him shoutin',

Somethin' 'bout a mountain,

He could surely climb,

If she was only there to point the right direction.

But she ain't no, no she ain't, no.

He said, "Come on Carrie, carry me a little farther.

Come on Carrie, carry me one more mile.

I don't know where it's leadin' to,

But I know I can make it if I lean on you.

So, come on Carrie, carry me a little.

I carried you, now carry me a little.

Come on Carrie, carry me a little while."

Yeah, Carry me, Carrie.

Got to carry me.

Carry me!

Yes, oh.

Outlaw Man - Eagles

I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son

The highway is my legacy

On the highway I will run

In one hand I've a Bible

In the other I've got a gun

Well, don' t you know me

I'm the man who won

Woman don't try to love me

Don't try to understand

A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe

Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day

All of my friends are strangers,

They quickly come and go

And all my love's in danger,

Cause I steal hearts and souls

Woman, don't try to love me

Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

Woman, don't try to love me

Don't try to understand

A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

Some men call me Abel,

Some men call me Cain,

Some men call me sinner, Lord

Some men call me saint

Some say there's a Jesus

Some men say there ain't

When you got no life to lose

Then there's nothin' left to gain

Outlaw man

Outlaw man
