Rob Thomas - Getting Late
This life
Keeps moving on
And were going away
Before too long
So tell your friends
Just how ya feel
You better say it loud
For the world to hear
Cuz its getting late
Time to go
The paper moon
Is fading slow
But the night
Keeps moving on
And it takes you in
It brings you home
While youre watching over
The moments that make up your life
Well its getting late
Thats the way it is
You cant deny
When it feels like this
And its strange
What its bringing out
Youre gonna open up
Cuz you cant stop now
Oh you cant stop onw
Well its getting late
You dont know how
Youre wide awake
And youre missing out
Get your kicks
While you can
Then you go to work
To pay the man
While youre watching over
The moments that make up your life
Well its getting late
Well its getting late
Well its getting late

Matisyahu - One Day
Sometimes I lay under the moon
And thank God I'm breathing
Then I pray don't take me soon
Cause I am here for a reason
Sometimes in my tears I drown
But I never let it get me down
So when negativity surrounds
I know someday
It'll all turn around because...
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
it's not about
win or lose
because we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but dont let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so my negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
one day this all will change
stop with the violence, down with the hate
one day we'll all be free,
and brought to be
under the same sun, singing songs of freedom
like
One day, one day, ohhhh
One day, one day, ohhhh
All my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
For the people to say
That we don't wanna fight no more
There'll be no more war
And our children will play...
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh
One day, One day, One day, ohhhh

Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) - Long As I Can See The Light
Put a candle in the window, cause I feel Ive got to move.
Though Im going, going, Ill be coming home soon,
long as I can see the light.
Pack my bag and lets get movin, cause Im bound to drift a while.
When Im gone, gone, you dont have to worry long,
long as I can see the light.
Guess Ive got that old travlin bone, cause this feelin wont leave me alone.
But I wont, wont be losin my way, no, no
long as I can see the light.
Yeah! yeah! yeah! oh, yeah!
Put a candle in the window, cause I feel Ive got to move.
Though Im going, going, Ill be coming home soon,
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.
Long as I can see the light.

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran
I walked along the avenue.
I never thought Id meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.
A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.
Reached out a hand to touch your face;
Youre slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
Im floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.
And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Madeleine Peyroux - Instead
Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low
Get high on everything you love
Instead of wastin' time
Feel good 'bout what you are dreaming of
Instead of trying to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know eventually you will you both look good
It's silly to pretend to have something you don't own
Just let her be a woman and you'll be her man
Instead of feelin' broke
Buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losing hope
Touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of being old
Be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold
Let sunshine into your heart
Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
It's up to you to let her love you sweetly
Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Just keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
But it's up to you to let her love you sweetly
Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy there's a god above
Instead of feeling 'lone
Remember you are never on your own
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy that she's there at home
She's waitin' for by the phone
So be glad she all your own
Get happy...
Watin' for you by the telephone...
Don't get...
Back home,,,

Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dare
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools," said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

The 88 - All 'Cause of You
I've been sinking through the drain of love
lift my eyes to skies of up above
listen to me this is how I feel
since I knew you all my thoughts are real
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you
I've been moving cause my heart is true
telling everyone I know bout you
tell your mama that you won't be home
let your daddy know you're not alone
all I wanna do is make you mine
I said i'd love you honey anytime
don't believe the things they say about me
and all those things you know i'd never be
you're the only one i wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you
now honey, honey, honey I can walk, walk, walk
I caught you kneeling in the alley with the baby talk
now listen to me baby if you can't sit still
I know your sister will
there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
the sun is up and I understand it's me

Panic At The Disco - Nine In The Afternoon
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we're feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn't read
It looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can
Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Back to the street
Down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place
Where we used to say
Man, it feels good to feel this way
Now I know what I mean
Back to the street
Back to the place
Back to the room where it all began (WHO???)
Back to the room where it all began
'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

Eric Burdon - Sixteen Tons (Joe Versus Volcano)
Some people say a man is made outta' mud
A poor man's made outta' muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number 9 coal
And the store boss said 'Well, a-bless my soul'
You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha, then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store.

Lovehammers - Trees
I don't wanna go through this life
Without you by my side
And I have got it all worked out
In my head
Here's how it's got to be
It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answers
It'll be you and I up in the sky
Its a combination for disaster
We, we make believe
In a world we rule together
We, can build our dreams
With a knot tied tight to last forever
It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answers
It will be you and I up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
Yeaa-yeaaa-yeaaa-yea-yea-yea
We got one shot
So let's use our imagination
Yeaa-yeaaa-yeaaa-yea-yea-yea
You're all that I've got
So where do we go from here?
It will be you and me up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer
It will be you and I up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster
And I know there's more for us in this life
If we hold on
If we hold strong
I know there's more for us in this life
Can we hold on, can we hold on?

Ben Folds - Gracie
You can’t fool me
I saw you when you came out
You got your momma’s taste
But you got my mouth
You will always have a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see
Gracie girl
With your cards to your chest
Walking on your toes
What you got in the box
Only Gracie knows
And I would never try to make you be
Anything you didn’t really wanna be
Gracie girl
Life flies by in seconds
You’re not a baby
Gracie, you’re my friend
You’ll be a lady soon
But until then
You gotta do what I say
You nodded off in my arms watching TV
I won’t move you an inch
Even though my arm’s asleep
One day you’re gonna wanna go
I hope we taught you everything
You need to know
Gracie girl
There will always be a part of me
Nobody else is ever gonna see
But you and me
A little girl
My Gracie girl

Fats Domino - Kansas City
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there and I'm gonna get me one
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
12th Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standing on the corner
12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City Baby and a bottle of Kansas City wine
Well I might take a plane I might take a train
But if I have to walk I'm going just the same
I'm going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy little women
there and I'm gonna get me one

The Beatles - Hey Jude
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her under your skin,
Then you'll begin to make it
Better better better better better better, oh.
Na na na, na na na na, na na na, hey Jude...
