9 crimes - Damien Rice feat. Lisa Hannigan

Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
For somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

And is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it
How am I supposed to hold it?
Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright
With you?


Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
To be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

And is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright?
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it

Is that alright?
How am I supposed to hold it?
Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded

Is that alright?
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?

Is that alright?
I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it
How am I supposed to hold it
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
If I give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
Is that alright
Is that alright with you?


Is that alright?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
If you don't shoot it
How am I supposed to hold it?

Is that alright
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright?
Is that alright?
Is that alright with you?

No

Over - Epik High

You got so much to prove
Hoping they approve
The only thing that's true is all you ever do is do
You're moving shoe to shoe, but you're not going
You stop growing, the moment that you stay at the top
The only way is to drop
Freefalling down the stairs that you climbed up
Lined up to freely mount the air
But you dare not air drop
Tied up like a hair knot
Hiking down without a chance of stepping on a fair rock
And so, you stand still in a stand-still
Hands still building castles on a sand hill
"Man chill," is what your friends say
But you're not hearing what little men say

Anyway, keep on going, and taste the stars
Keep on growing, and raise the bar
You're living life for the As down to the Zs
After the hill you got a mountain to seize

You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes 'till it takes everything you are

Who can tell?
Your living is an organized hell
The mansion of your mind just an oversized cell
The pressure, everything is done to a measure
In the sea of competition, sunk like a treasure
Like a feather, falling, slow spiraling to the floor
Strung up like a broken violin to your course
Opportunity is knocking at your door
But you never left a welcome mat
It doesn't matter anymore
Or anyhow, but you're too late to turn back
Fate pushing you into the wall like a thumbtack
Ain't no comebacks in this game of life
Roll the dice again
Roll it once, never twice

Keep on going, and taste the stars
Keep on growing, and raise the bar
You're living life for the As down to the Zs
After one drop you've got a fountain to seize

You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are
You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are

Wanna break from the world, but the world wanna break you
The weight makes your backbone curl up and make you

You are an overachiever
Do what it takes till it takes everything you are

Wanna break from the world, but the world wanna break you
The weight makes your backbone curl up and make you

Hurt - Christina Aguilera

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you
But I know you won't be there

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside, but I won't admit
Sometimes I just want to hide, cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself

If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been away
It's dangerous
It's so out of line to try to turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you

The voice within - Christina Aguilera

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl, it's all right
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You'll learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl, just hold tight
And soon you're gonna see your brighter day

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside look inside to your soul

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know

You'll make it
You'll make it
Just don't go forsaking yourself
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend
Just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You will learn to begin
To trust the voice within

Young girl, don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall

Desperate guys - The Faint

Was it more than attraction
And a physical lust?
Or loins, my imagination
That first inconceivable touch
That I was planning, uh
I mean wishing, oh
How embarrassed I'd have been
If you knew what I was thinking, uh

And, whoa, when it started
My first thought was love
Not just lust
Because when I heard you speak
I felt warm
In the evening I saw you
You were warming the bass up
Your hair covered your face up
I was acting indifferent at the merch booth
Putting on make-up

We met up at a party
In a swamp, on a yacht
I spun the helm, but we were docked
I crossed my fingers
But I didn't beg
Because I knew you knew
Because I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it
But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you
I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you

Close to you, wishing
We're conjoined at the tongue
Can you hear me thinking?
I should stop
I crossed my fingers
But I didn't beg
Because I knew you knew
Because I knew you knew I liked you

I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it
But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance
I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it
But I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you
I figured desperate guys
Never had a chance with you
I knew that desperate guys
Would never have a chance with you

I knew you knew it
I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it
I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it
I knew you knew I liked you
I knew you knew it

Gravity - Vienna Teng

Hey, love
Is that the name you're meant to have
For me to call?

Look, love
They've given up believing
They've turned aside our stories of the gentle fall

But don't you believe them
Don't you drink their poison too
These are the scars that words have carved on me

Hey, love
That's the name we've long held back
From the core of truth

So don't turn away now
I am turning in revolution
These are the scars that silence carved on me

This is the same place
No, not the same place
This is the same place, love
No, not the same place we've been before

Hey, love
I am a constant satellite
Of your blazing sun

My love
I obey your law of gravity
This is the fate you've carved on me
The law of gravity
This is the fate you've carved on me, on me

Passage - Vienna Teng

I died in a car crash two days ago
Was unrecognizable
When they pulled me from the gears
No one's fault, no one's bottle
No one's teenage pride or throttle
Our innocence is all the worse for fears
The other walked away alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

My lover sits, the silent eye
In a hurricane of warmth and word
My mother trembles with the sobs
Whose absence seems absurd
My sister shouts to let her see
Through the cloud of crowd surrounding me
My colleagues call for silence in my name

I died in a car crash three months ago
They burned me until I glowed
And crumbled to a fine gray sand
Now I am nothing, everywhere
Several breaths of strangers' air
And all thoughts ever written in my hand
They plant my tree out in the yard
It grows, but takes the winter hard

My lover puts a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears stream down her face
My office door now bears a different name

I died in a car crash four years ago
My tree drinks melted snow
Just eight feet tall, a pale and fragile thing
Bee stings, beaches, bright vacations
Sunburnt, high-school graduations
A sparrow healing from a broken wing
This year a glimpse of second chances
Tiny apples on my tree's branches

My lover hears the open wind
And crawls, blinking into the sun
My mother leafs through photographs
And thinks "Yes, she was a lovely one."
My sister can't decide her truth
Asks aloud what I might do
In a conference hall, my brief efforts engraved

I died in a car crash
A lifetime ago it seems
Been a decade or two or three
They've just released a new design
Bars and bags, front and behind
My fate now an impossibility
Safely packaged hurtling down
The highway, hardly make a sound

My lover very much alive
Arms wrapped now around his wife

Love hurts - Incubus

Tonight we drink to youth
And holding fast to truth
I don't want to lose what I had as a boy
My heart still has a beat
But love is now a feat
As common as a cold day in LA
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won't survive

I'm fettered and abused
I stand naked and accused
Should I surface this one man submarine?
I only want the truth
So tonight we drink to youth
I'll never lose what I had as a boy
Sometimes when I'm alone, I wonder
Is there a spell that I am under
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won't survive
Without love I won't survive

Love hurts
But sometimes it's a good hurt
And it feels like I'm alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won't survive

Love hurts
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive

Love hurts
Love hurts
Without love I won't survive

Delicate - Damien Rice

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing "Hallelujah"
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well, how can we ask for more?
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing "Hallelujah"
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing "Hallelujah"
If it means nothing to you
Why do you sing with me at all?

Harry - CC Cowboys

Ingen vet hvor Harry er gravd ned
Ingen vet at Harry er død
Ingen vet hva Harry gjør
Men alle vet at Harry er sprø

Harry jobber på fabrikken
Klokken 4 kjører han en time med trikken
Hjem til fru Gal
Og hun er ganske smal i toppen

Ingen vet hvor Harry er gravd ned
Ingen vet at Harry er død
Ingen vet hva Harry gjør
Men alle vet at Harry er sprø

I 20 år har han tippet tippelapper
Går på Bislet og ser dårlige kamper
Å herregud, forskjellen er ikke stor
Mellom konger og narrer

Ingen vet hvor Harry er gravd ned
Ingen vet at Harry er død
Ingen vet hva Harry gjør
Men alle vet at Harry er sprø

Hvem er ikke sprø?
Hvem vil ikke dø?
Som Harry

Nå fins ikke Harrymann blant oss mer
Drepte fru Gal og tok reper'n samme dagen
Å som han klaga over vodka'n

Ingen vet hvor Harry er gravd ned
Ingen vet at Harry er død
Ingen vet hva Harry gjør
Men alle vet at Harry er sprø

Ingen vet hvor Harry er gravd ned
Ingen vet at Harry er død
Ingen vet hva Harry gjør
Men alle vet at Harry er sprø

Like new year's day - Matthew Ryan & Hammock

It looks like rain
And that's fine with me
It's like we've been living
On the sun lately
I want to dance
With your wet skin
As the world disappears
And daylight ends
You're perfect air
Like New Year's Day
And like New Year's Day
We go away
I say your name
I cross my heart
I'd be forsaken
If we were to part

I'm not faking
I'm not stealing
I'm in love with a feeling
I'm not faking
I'm not stealing
I'm in love with a feeling
I've learned the hard way
It's hard to make love stay
But if we could
Then we should
If you'd agree
To stay with me
If only you would
Then that'd be good

An airplane glides
Over frozen hills
A vapor trail
There's ice on the sill
But here's its warm
And she's downstairs
I think I'll stop
And go down there
We'll pour some tea
She'll smile at me
A spoonful of salt
With pure honey
A metaphor
For dark with light
It's always dusk
But that's alright

I'm not faking
I'm not stealing
I'm in love with a feeling
I'm not faking
I'm not stealing
I'm in love with a feeling
I've learned the hard way
It's hard to make love stay
But if we could
Then we should
If you'd agree
To stay with me
If only you would
Then that'd be

I'm not faking
I'm not stealing
I'm in love with a feeling
I've learned the hard way
It's hard to make love stay
But if we could
Then we should
If you'd agree
To stay with me
If only you would
Then that'd be
If only you would
If only you would
If only you would
Then that'd be good
