Superstition

Stevie Wonder

Very superstitious, writing's on the wall

Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall

Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass

Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand

Then you suffer

Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious, wash your face and hands

Rid me of the problem, do all that you can

Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong

You don't wanna save me, sad is my song

When you believe in things that you don't understand

Then you suffer

Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say

Very superstitious, the devil's on his way

Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass

Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past

When you believe in things that you don't understand

Then you suffer

Superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Cold Shot

Stevie Ray Vaughan

Once was a sweet thang baby....held out her lovin in our hands

Now I reach to kiss your lips....the touch dont mean a thing

And thats a cold shot baby....yeah thats a drag

A cold shot baby....i let our love go bad

Remember the way that you loved me....do anything I said

Now I see you out somewhere....you wont give me the time of day

And thats a cold shot darlin....yeah thats a drag

And thats a cold shot baby....we let our love go bad

I really meant I was sorry....for ever causin you pain

You showed your appreciation....by walkin out anyway

And thats a cold shot baby....yeah thats a drag

And thats a cold shot baby...we let our love go bad

So sad....too bad....so sad

Dont let our true love run cold baby

Seven Bridges Road - The Eagles

There are stars

In the Southern sky

Southward as you go

There is moonlight

And moss in the trees

Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby

Like some lonesome child

And I have loved you in a tame way

And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me

Has to turn from here and go

Running like a child from these warm stars

Down the Seven Bridges Road

There are stars in the Southern sky

And if ever you decide

You should go

There is a taste of time sweetened honey

Down the Seven Bridges Road

Deja Voodoo

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Needles in my heart, spell on my mind

Your powerful potion gets me every time

I toss and turn, I cant sleep at night

Your kiss burns, through my dreams

Chorus:

Here it comes again

I dont stand a chance

Soul possession

Got me in a trance

Pullin me back to you -

Deja voodoo

Fire in the dark, pounding in my brain

Driven by the chant calling out my name

I toss and turn, I cant sleep

Your kiss burns, through my dreams

[repeat first verse]

[repeat chorus]

Breathe/Time

Pink Floyd

Breathe, breathe in the air.

Don't be afraid to care.

Leave, don't leave me.

Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly

smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry

all you touch and all you see

Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.

Dig that hole, FORGET the sun,

And when at last the work is done

Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the tide

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race towards an early grave.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way

The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

Its good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Ava Adore

Smashing pumpkins

It's you that I adore

You'll always be my *****

You'll be the mother to my child

And a child to my heart

We must never be apart

We must never be apart

Lovely girl you're the beauty in my world

Without you there aren't reasons left to find

And I'll pull your crooked teeth

You'll be perfect just like me

You'll be a lover in my bed

And a gun to my head

We must never be apart

We must never be apart

In you I see dirty

In you I count stars

In you I feel so pretty

In you I taste ***

In you I feel so hungry

In you I crash cars

We must never be apart

Drinking mercury

To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find

Lovely girl you're the murder in my world

Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind

In time

We must never be apart

And you'll always be my *****

Cause you're the one that I adore

And I'll pull your crooked teeth

You'll be perfect just like me

In you I feel so dirty in you I crash cars

In you I feel so pretty in you I taste ***

We must never be apart

Heaven beside you

Alice in Chains

Be what you wanna be

See what you came to see

Been what you wanna be

I dont like what I see

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... **** within

And you think you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life

Thats f cked up, and I'm not blind

I'm just see through faded, super jaded

And out of my mind

Do what you wanna do

Go out and seek your truth

When I'm down and blue

Rather be me than you

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... **** within

And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you

So theres problems in your life

Thats f cked up, and I'm not blind

I'm just see through faded, super jaded

And out of my mind

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter chill

Heaven beside you... **** within

Like the coldest winter will

Heaven beside you... **** within

And you know you have it still, heaven inside you

So theres problems in your life

Thats f cked up, but you're not blind

You're just see through faded, overrated

And out of your mind

Sabbath ****** Sabbath

Black Sabbath

You've seen life through distorted eyes

You know you had to learn

The execution of your mind

You really had to turn

The race is run the book is read

The end begins to show

The truth is out, the lies are old

But you dont want to know

Nobody will ever let you know

When you ask the reasons why

They just tell you that you're on your own

Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you

You want to see them burn

The gates of life have closed on you

And now there's just no return

You're wishing that the hands of doom

Could take your mind away

And you dont care if you dont see again

The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know

When you ask the reasons why

They just tell you that you're on your own

Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to

What more can you do

No more tomorrow

Life is killing you

Dreams turn to nightmares

Heaven turns to ****

Burned out confusion

Nothing more to tell

Everything around you

Whats it coming to

*** knows as your dog knows

Bog blast all of you

Sabbath ****** sabbath

Nothing more to do

Living just for dying

Dying just for you

Heaven and ****

Black Sabbath

Sing me a song, you're a singer

Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil

The devil is never a maker

The less that you give, youre a taker

So its on and on and on, its heaven and ****, oh well

The lover of life's not a sinner

The ending is just a beginner

The closer you get to the meaning

The sooner you'll know that youre dreaming

So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on

It goes on and on and on, heaven and ****

I can tell, fool, fool!

Well if it seems to be real, its illusion

For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life

Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer

And it's on and on, on and on and on....

They say that life's a carousel

Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well

The world is full of kings and queens

Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams

Its heaven and ****, oh well

And they'll tell you black is really white

The moon is just the sun at night

And when you walk in golden halls

You get to keep the gold that falls

It's heaven and ****, oh no!

Fool, fool!

You've got to bleed for the dancer!

Fool, fool!

Look for the answer!

Fool, fool, fool!

After Forever

Black Sabbath

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave

Is *** just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?

Is christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or

Do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the pope on the end of a rope

Do you think hes a fool?

Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared when youre lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in *** above?

They should realize before they criticize

That *** is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you dont believe?

You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that *** is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate

Or will you still jeer at all you hear? yes! I think its too late.

Audioslave

Well I been watch'in

While you been cough'in

I've been drinking life

While you been nausous

And so I drink to health

While you kill yourself

And I got just one thing

That I can offer

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and and save yourself

Take it out on me yea

Well I'm not a martyr

I'm not a prophet

And I wont preach to you

But heres a caution

You better understand

That I wont hold your hand

But if it helps you mend

Then I wont stop it

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me yea

Go if you want

And I'll see you in the bottom

Where you crawl

On my skin

And put the blame on me

So you dont feel a thing

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me

Go and save yourself

Take it out on me yea

Show me how to live

Audioslave

In with the early dawn

Moving right along

I couldn't buy an eyeful of sleep

And in the aching night under saddled eyes

I was not received

Built with stolen parts

A telephone in my heart

Someone get me a priest

To put my mind to bed

This ringing in my head

Is this a cure or is this a disease

(Chorus)

Nail in my hand

From my creator

You gave me life

Now show me how to live

And in the after birth

On the quiet earth

Let the stains remind you

You thought you made a man

You better think again

Before my role defines you

(Chorus)

Nail in my hand

From my creator

You gave me life

Now show me how to live

And in your waiting hands

I will land

And roll out of my skin

And in your final hours I will stand

Ready to begin

Sunday morning

Maroon 5

Sunday morning rain is falling

Steal some covers share some skin

Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable

You twist to fit the mold that I am in

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew

That someday it would bring me back to you

That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow on sunday morning

And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline

Paint a picture with my hands

Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm

Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow on sunday morning

And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do

Sunday morning rain is falling and I?m calling out to you

Singing someday it?ll bring me back to you

Find a way to bring myself home to you

And you may not know

That may be all I need

In darkness she is all I see

Come and rest your bones with me

Driving slow?

Harder to breathe

Maroon 5

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable

So condescending unnecessarily critical

I have the tendency of getting very physical

So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here

This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear

You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone

Not fit to f ckin tread the ground that I'm walking on

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

What you are doing is ******** things up inside my head

You should know better you never listened to a word I said

Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat

Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Does it kill

Does it burn

Is it painful to learn

That it's me that has all the control

Does it thrill

Does it sting

When you feel what I bring

And you wish that you had me to hold

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

is there anyone out there cuz its gettin harder and harder to breathe

What it's like

Everlast

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change

The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange

He ask the man for what he can spare with shame in his eyes

Get a job you in' slob is all he replied.

[CHORUS]

*** forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what it's like [X4]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love

He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of

But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call

And she sweared *** **** if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his *****

And she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door

They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a *****

[CHORUS]

*** forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

Then you really might know what it's like [X4]

I've seen a rich man beg

I've seen a good man sin

I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win

And a sad man grin

I heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad

And the down side of up

And everything between

I licked the silver spoon

Drank from the golden cup

Smoked the finest green

I stroked the daddy's dimes at least a couple of times

Before I broke their heart

You know where it ends

Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max

He used to get fat stacks on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late He liked to get faced

And keep pace with thugs

Until late one night there was a big gun fight &

Max lost his head

He pulled out his chrome .45

Talked some

And wound up dead

Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain

You know it crumbles that way

At least that's what they say, when you play the game

[CHORUS]

*** forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news

'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Then you really might know what it's like [X4]

To have to lose...

It's too late

Carole King

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here, there can be no denying

One of us is changing

Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died

And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you

You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do

Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died

And I can't hide and I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you

But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it, too

Still I'm glad for what we had and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, now it's too late

Though we really did try to make it

Something inside has died and I can't hide

And I just can't fake it

It Came Upon A Midnight Clear

It came upon a midnight clear,

That glorious song of old,

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold:

"Peace on the earth, good will to men,

From heaven's all-gracious King."

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come

With peaceful wings unfurled,

And still their heavenly music floats

O'er all the weary world;

Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing,

And ever o'er its Babel-sounds

The blessed angels sing.

Yet with the woes of sin and strife

The world has suffered long;

Beneath the heavenly strain have rolled

Two thousand years of wrong;

And man, at war with man, hears not

The tidings which they bring;

O hush the noise, ye men of strife,

And hear the angels sing!

O ye, beneath life's crushing load,

Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow,

Look now! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing;

O rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling years

Shall come the time foretold,

When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling,

And the whole world give back the song

Which now the angels sing.
