All I ask - Adele

I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before, you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

I don't need your honesty
It's already in your eyes
And I'm sure my eyes, they speak for me
No one knows me like you do
And since you're the only one that matters
Tell me who do I run to?

Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or unjust
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is

If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
Cause what if I never love again?

Hello - Adele

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal
But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet

There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself
I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?

It's no secret
That the both of us are running out of time

So hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore

Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter
It clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Drowning shadows - Sam Smith

Running round
Chasing hearts
Chasing bodies
To fix the past

I don't know how I reached this place
So far from heaven, so far from grace
And I run to give in to the pressure
Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
Oh, this casual love
Isn't what it seems

And I try to imagine something closer
And somebody who is good for me
I'm so tired of all this searching
Do I, do I, do I, do I go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more

The more I drink
The more I drown
I found that thinking
I wrote it down

The more I rise above it all
The less I care about the fall
And I run to give in to the pressure
Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
Oh, this casual love
Isn't what it seems

And I try to imagine something closer
And somebody who is good for me
I'm so tired of all this searching
Do I, do I, do I, do I go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more
Once more
Once more

Go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more

Lay me down - Sam Smith

Yes, I do
I believe
That one day I will be
Where I was
Right there
Right next to you
And it's hard
The days just seem so dark
The moon
And the stars
Are nothing without you

Your touch
Your skin
Where do I begin?
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you
The night
This emptiness
This hole that I'm inside
These tears
They tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming
It's much too strong
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright?
I'll take care of you
And I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight

I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
(Who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you
Missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming
It's much too strong
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, you
And make sure you're alright?
I'll take care of you
I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you tonight

Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, you?

Stay with me - Sam Smith

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No, it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

La la la - Naughty Boy feat. Sam Smith

La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na

Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom
Keep it shut
I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About your new messiah
Cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech
It's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it
I go

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it
I go
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na

If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours
Rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech
It's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it
I go

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,

This isn't everything you are - Snow Patrol

You can't find the phone
So you can call it off
But it might be for the best
You can't walk away anyway
Because you've nowhere else to go

Is he worth all this
Is it a simple yes?
Cause if you have to think
That's fucked
Feels like you've loved him more
Than he loved you
And you wish you never met

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

You've been up all night
And the night before
And you've lost count of drinks and time
And your friends keep calling worried sick
And there's strangers everywhere

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

And in one little moment
It all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here
I, I know there is
This isn't everything you are

When you took the call
How could you know
That he'd slipped away last night
When you wish you'd went
Home days ago
To say goodbye
Or just hello

Don't keel over now
Don't keel over
Don't keel over now
Don't keel over

And in one little moment
It all implodes
This isn't everything you are
Breathe deeply in the silence
No sudden moves
This isn't everything you are
Just take the hand that's offered
And hold on tight
This isn't everything you are
There's joy not far from here, right
I know there is
This isn't everything you are

This isn't everything you are
This isn’t everything you are

Haunt (demo) - Bastille

We'll make our agreements
About when to meet
And I'll leave you in the doorway
The cold evening aches
As it leaves in its wake
All the memories left by the day
And I'm questioning why
As you look to the sky
That is cloudless up above our heads
And thoughts come to mind
That our short little lives
Haven't left the path that they will tread
They will tread

I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you
And I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you

The wisdom we learn
As our minds, they do burn
All entice the naivety in youth
As adults will grow and maturity shows
All the terrifying rarity of truth
As you turn to your mind
And your thoughts they rewind
To old happenings and things that are done
You can't find what's passed
Make that happiness last
Seeing from those eyes what you've become
What you've become

I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you
And I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you

I’ll see you there
See you there
See you there

I’ll see you there
See you there
See you there

I'll come back to haunt you
Memories will taunt you
And I will try to love you
It's not like I'm above you

Love me dead - Ludo

Love me cancerously
Like a salt-sore soaked in the sea
“High-maintenance” means
You're a gluttonous queen
Narcissistic and mean

Kill me romantically
Fill my soul with vomit
Then ask me for a piece of gum
Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum
You're awful, I love you

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh, love me dead
Love me dead

You're a faith-healer on TV
You're an office park without any trees
Corporate and cold, gushing with gold
Leave me alone

You suck so passionately
You're a parasitic, psycho, filthy creature
Finger-banging my heart
You call me a drunk
Does the fun ever start?
You're hideous and sexy

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
Must be the sign on my head
That says, oh, love me dead
Love me dead

Love me cancerously
How's your new boy?
Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast
You're born of a jackal, you're beautiful

She moves through moonbeams slowly
She knows just how to hold me
And when her edges soften
Her body is my coffin

I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed
What about the sign on my head
That says, oh, love me dead
Love me dead
Love me dead
Love me dead
Oh, love me dead

Conversation - Matt Walters

Here we are
This love has played out
This love has toned us
This love would not last

But if you need
A conversation
I'll be around
Yeah, I'll be around

Those first beginnings
Open endings
And the curse
Who stumbled apart

But you're leaving
And I'm holding on
And you're ready
But I'm moving on

So you're sorry
So you won now
So you cursed the last of your stones

And left me standing
On that ocean
That was hungry for fire and liberty

Now I'm leaving
And you're holding on
And I'm ready
To moving on

Now I'm leaving
And you're holding on
And I'm ready
To moving on

If you need
A conversation
I'll be around
Yeah, I'll be around

Control - Halsey

They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
The house was awake, the shadows and monsters
The hallways, they echoed and groaned

I sat alone in bed till the morning
I'm crying, “They're coming for me”
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, “Please stop, you're scaring me”
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I paced around for hours on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn't stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, “Please stop, you're scaring me”
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead
And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them so I'll never die when I'm dead

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones

And all the kids cried out, “Please stop, you're scaring me”
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

And all the kids cried out, “Please stop, you're scaring me”
I can't help this awful energy
God damn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?

Gasoline - Halsey

Are you insane like me?
Been in pain like me?
Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?
Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?

Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper about you on the train like me?
Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

And all the people say
You can’t wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think there’s a fault in my code
These voices won’t leave me alone
Well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold

Are you deranged like me?
Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers cause you’ll never take the blame like me?

And all the people say
You can’t wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I think there’s a fault in my code
These voices won’t leave me alone
Well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold

Castle - Halsey

Sick of all these people talking, sick of all this noise
Tired of all these cameras flashing, sick of being poised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride so there's no use crying about it

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle

Oh, all these minutes passing, sick of feeling used
If you wanna break these walls down you're gonna get bruised
Now my neck is open wide, begging for a fist around it
Already choking on my pride so there's no use crying about it

Crying about it
Crying about it
Crying about it

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle

There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it
There's no use crying about it

I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut

Straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne
That's saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle

Immortals - Fall Out Boy

They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be
I'm bad behaviour but I do it in the best way
I'll be the watcher (watcher) of the eternal flame
I'll be the guard dog of all your favourite dreams

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
I try to picture me without you but I can't

Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
And live with me forever now
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
Immortals

Sometimes the only pay off for having any faith
Is when it's tested again and again everyday
I'm still comparing your past to my future
It might be your wound but they're my sutures

I am the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass (glass, glass)
I try to picture me without you but I can't

Cause we could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long,
And live with me forever now
You pull the blackout curtains down
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
(Immortals)

And live with me forever now
And pull the blackout curtains down

We could be immortals, immortals
Just not for long, for long
We could be immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
Immor–immortals
(Immortals)

Dust is gone - MØ

Have you had love for me, boy?
Have you only love for the blue sky?
Have you kissed the lips of the one you liked
So hard you couldn't stay alive?

I had a little dream that I would like this to work
But life had other plans
So our romance end
We could only have one dance and we had no time

Dust is gone, we see the sun
All of us wants some to hold in the winter
What went wrong?
I couldn't tell if you asked me
Tick-tock-tick
Broke our hearts in two

Sand is warm, the sea lies strong
Dust is gone, as the ships we're waiting for
Only life keep us alive as time goes by
Salvation will come and break our hearts

But have you had love for me, boy?
Have you only love for the blue sky?
Have you kissed the lips of the one you liked
So hard you couldn't stay alive?

I had a little dream I would've liked us to work
Won't guide you in your darkness
Our romance end
We could only have one dance and we had no time

Dust is gone, we carry on
All of us wants some to hold in the winter
Old sweet times start at the water
Visions were true, broke our hearts in two

All the time, all the way
What we say everyday
Life is cruel and too short
Bittersweet is the reward

All the time, all the way
What we say everyday
No time to breathe and stay
So it’s time to throw it away (?)
But I'm still on the sand

Have you had love for me, boy?
Have you only love for the blue sky?
Have you kissed the lips of one you liked
So hard you couldn't stay alive?

I had a little dream that I would like this to work
But life had other plans
So our romance end
We could only have one dance and we had no time

Have you had love for me?
Have you only got love for the white sky?

Fight song - Rachel Platten

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (I'm in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
Yeah, I still believe

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me

Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me

St. Peter's Gate - Matt Walters

So time has reached its tireless goal
Ahead outstretched my path unfolds
Down into the depths of hell
I've seen enough I might as well

Through the circles of fire and stone
To the castle of blood and bone
Lucifer in all his power
Awaits me in my judgment hour
“Believe right now, it's not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gate”


Into the forest I begin
Where the beasts feast on skin
The brittle leaves are black not green
See the mark of St. Augustine

I meet them here, the poets in men
And the crimes for which they can't defend
They say, “Eternity can't be that bad
I've lost every love I’ve ever had”


“Believe right now it's not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”


To the sea, the blood of sin
We shed our rags and dive right in
And sink beneath the waves of fire
And feel our innocence expire
For I've done more wrong than I've done right
I saw the darkness devour the light
You cannot save this weary soul
Though every deep will take its toll

“Believe right now, it’s not too late
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”

“How can I just accept this fate?
I'll meet you at St. Peter's Gates”


Ahead the castle's fiery moat
We're seeing all the lost souls float
Across the bridge of tangled bones
Into a world the darkness owns

Dead sea - The Lumineers

I stood alone upon the platform in vain
The Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast food parking lots

I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, I needed someone I could trust
I don't gamble, but if I did I would bet on us

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, like the Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map

Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live it
For yourself, you felt, you just felt it was time
And I'm glad, cause you with cats, that's just not right

Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You'll never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea

I've been down, I've been defeated
You're the message I was heeding
Would you stay
Would you stay the night?

Dead Sea
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
Never sink when you are with me
Oh, lord, I'm your Dead Sea

Whoa, I'm like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey, can't you see
I was born to be your Dead Sea

Ho hey - The Lumineers

Ho!
Hey!
Ho!
Hey!

Ho! I've been trying to do it right
Hey! I've been living a lonely life
Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
Hey! I've been sleeping in my bed
Ho! Sleeping in my bed
Hey!

Ho!

Ho! So show me family
Hey! All the blood that I will bleed
Ho! I don't know where I belong
Hey! I don't know where I went wrong
Ho! But I can write a song
Hey!

1, 2, 3
I belong with you,
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweet
Ho!

Hey!
Ho!
Hey!

Ho! I don't think you're right for him
Hey! Think of what it might have been if you
Ho! Took a bus to China Town
Hey! I'd be standing on Canal
Ho! And Bowery
Hey!
Ho! And she'd be standing next to me
Hey!

I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart

Love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause, oh, we're bleeding out

I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you
You belong with me
You're my sweet
Ho!

Hey!
Ho!
The last one
Hey!

One red thread - Blind Pilot

Oh, from the first that the line got drawn
It was poison in the land it was on
One red thread through the middle of a song
My only one
My only one

I can't remember the age that I was
But not that story that pumped in my blood
When you were the saviour
And I was the taker of
Oh, where I was

Oh, but man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're from

I have to say there was a mile or two
I had the itch to fly and I flew
Now at best we would make our dreams
With something used
With something used

And from the minute that the line got drawn
I couldn't see straight to you for nothing
Now me, I'm the poison in one
Yeah, I'm the one
I am the

Oh, but man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're

Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
Oh, man, oh, man, you can do what you want
The only line that is true is the line you're from
The only line that is true is the line you're from

The moral boy king - The Paper Kites

Night falls
We're covered over now
We're covered over now
Daylight
Sometimes it ends too soon
And I don't want to sleep

‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?

Night falls
And we're getting older too
We're getting older too
Life
Sometimes it ends too soon
Sometimes it ends too soon

‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
‘Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?

We're getting older
We're getting older too

We're getting older
We're getting older too

Baby came home - The Neighbourhood

Baby came home today
Told me to stay away
She told me her man was afraid
Told me I better behave
Baby just came back around
Told me she's leaving this town
Said she needs time to explore
She said I can't love her no more

Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know

So baby packed up all she had
Promised to never come back
She left me alone and without
Skin I could study about
Tiles get colder to touch
Wood splinters, metal will rust
But baby she had all my trust
And I guess it was never enough

Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know she's mine

You know that she's mine
Baby came home today
Told me to stay away
Told me her man was afraid
Told me I better behave

Oh, no, no, I'm
Thinking about her
She's gone all the time
I think if you found her
That even you would know

She's mine, she's mine
That girl is mine, she's mine

10am Gare du Nord - Keaton Henson

This feels right and I'm letting it
So now I know just what to do
Tire of me if you will, my dear
But I will not tire of you

This is the world as I see it now
It turns out that nothing is fair
You can leave me if you wish, my love
But I'm not going anywhere

And please do not hurt me love, I am a fragile one
And you are the white in my eyes
Please do not break my heart, I think it's had enough
Pain to last the rest of my life

With endless distraction you worry me
And I'm trying to figure out how
You don't have to make any promises, love
I'm afraid I might die for you now

And I'd kill just to watch as you're sleeping
I'm hoping you'll let me in time
You don't have to call me yours, my love
But dammit, I'm calling you mine

Please do not hurt me love, I am a fragile one
And you are the light in my eyes
Please do not break my heart, I think it's had enough
Pain to last the rest of my life
My life

And I will not tire of you

Black water - Of Monsters And Men

I need nothing to travel the sea
I need nothing
I need nothing

But there's something eating at me
Black water
Take over

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
I see myself through someone else

The strange silence surrounding me
Grows closer
Feels colder

But I'm ready to suffer the sea
Black water
Take over

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
I see myself through someone else

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
I see myself through someone else

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea
Darker days are raining over me
In the deepest depths I lost myself
I see myself through someone else

Like real people do - Hozier

I had a thought, dear
However scary
About that night
The bugs and the dirt
Why were you digging?
What did you bury
Before those hands pulled me
From the earth?

I will not ask you where you came from
I will not ask you, neither should you

Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I knew that look, dear
Eyes always seeking
Was there in someone
That dug long ago
So I will not ask you
Why you were creeping
In some sad way I already know
So I will not ask you where you came from
I would not ask you and neither would you

Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We should just kiss like real people do

I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask you, neither could you

Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips
We could just kiss like real people do

Work song - Hozier

Boys working on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothing sweeter than my babe
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissing me

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

That's when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothing in her room but an empty crib
And I was burning up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

My baby never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the low lamp light I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

Kongen på havet - Kaptein Sabeltann

Pinky:
Hvis jeg var Kongen på havet
Da vet jeg hva jeg skulle gjort
Jeg ville seilt med vinden
Og bare drømt meg bort

Men jeg er liten
Og kommer ingen vei
For den onde Maga Kahn
Er på jakt etter meg


Kaptein Sabeltann:
Kongen på havet
Hvem er han?

Pinky:
En sort og sint
Og farlig mann
På hav og i havn
Hviskes hans navn
Kaptein Sabeltann


Kaptein Sabeltann:
Det fins en konge på havet
Jeg setter seil i allslags vær
Når hav og himmel koker
Vet ingen hvor jeg er

Men langt der ute
Kan ingen seile trygt
Selv den onde Maga Kahn
Burde skjelve av frykt

Kongen på havet
Hvem er han?

Pinky:
En sort og sint
Og farlig mann
På hav og i havn
Hviskes hans navn
Kaptein Sabeltann


Kaptein Sabeltann:
På alle hav
Hører jeg til
Mitt ord er lov
Jeg gjør som jeg vil

Jeg er havets hersker
Fra øst til vest
I Sabeltanns Rike
Er Sabeltann best

Kongen på havet
Her er han

En sort og sint
Og farlig mann
På hav og i havn
Hviskes mitt navn
Kaptein Sabeltann

Kaptein Sabeltann

Run - Chasing Grace

Imagine we had it all
You could hold the thunder
In your hands

And you'd catch me when I fall
Catch me when nothing
Goes to plan

So wrap your arms around me
Wrap them tight
And don't let go again

And I don't know how you
Found me, but finally
It's time to run again

So runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway with me

And we'll leave the world behind
And we'll be impossible to find
So come look for me
When we play hide and seek

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway with me

Imagine we had it all
Every single finger
Would point to us

(And they'd say)


You're nothing like before
How come all your
Footsteps followed us?
So hold you mouth
And hush up
We're just trying to have
Some fun tonight

You're gonna have to trust us
Cause we can run and
Fuck yeah, we can hide

So runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway with me

And we'll leave the world behind
And we'll be impossible to find
So come look for me
When we play hide and seek

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway with me

You can't love without a risk
(?)

And we'll leave the world behind
And we'll be impossible to find
So come look for me
When we play hide and seek

Runaway, runaway, runaway
Runaway with me

What you want (Captive Prince original song) - Arielle

They brought me in; in golden shackles
I said I will not ever submit
With a whip on unsullied skin
I saw your steady and flawless hands

A kingdom or this
I’m unsure if without you I can live
To get what you want
You have to know
What you’re willing to give
What you’re willing to give up

And with a cold and icy glare
A deceptively lovely visage
But your mind, oh, as sharp
As the silence I left you in

Oh, a kingdom or this
Your golden hair clenched in my fists
To get what you want
You have to know
What you’re willing to give
What you’re willing to give up

Cause in the late nights
Sat by the fire
When the walls were down
I could see you
How can I let you go?
And do you know

I told them leave me with one shackle
For sentimental reasons
Or something like that
But, oh, I had to look back

Oh, a kingdom or this
I’m unsure if without you I can live
So tell me what you want
What will you give up?
What are you willing to give
What are you willing to give up?
What are you willing to give
What are you willing to give
What are you willing to give up?

A kingdom or this

This love - Taylor Swift

Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in
And I could go on and on, on and on, and I will
Skies grew darker, currents swept you out again
And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone
In silent screams and wildest dreams I never dreamed of this

This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh

Tossing, turning, struggle through the night for someone new
And I could go on and on, on and on
Lanterns burning, flickered in the mind only you
But you were still gone, gone, gone
Been losing grip on sinking ships
You showed up, just in time

This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh

This love left a permanent mark
This love is glowing in the dark, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh

This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love

Your kiss, my cheek, I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost, I fell to my knees
When you're young, just to run
But you come back to what you need

This love is good, this love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead, oh
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me, oh

(This love) This love that's a permanent mark
(This love) This love is glowing in the dark, oh
(This love) These hands had to let it go free
(This love) And this love came back to me, oh

This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love
This love, this love, this love, this love
This love came back to me, oh

2 heads - Coleman Hell

There must be something in the water
And there must be something about your daughter
She said our love ain't nothing but a monster
Our love ain't nothing but a monster
With two heads

I turn to you, you're all I see
Our love's a monster with two heads and one heartbeat
I turn to you, you're all I see
Our love's a monster with two heads and one heartbeat

We just got caught up in the moment
Why don't you call me in the morning instead
Before we turn into a monster
Before we turn into a monster with two heads

I hope to god I'll love you harder
I hope to god I'll love you longer
If only I could live forever
If only I could hold you longer

There must be something in the water
And there must be something about your daughter
She said our love ain't nothing but a monster
Our love ain't nothing but a monster
With two heads

I turn to you, you're all I see
Our love's a monster with two heads and one heartbeat
I turn to you, you're all I see
Our love's a monster with two heads and one heartbeat

We just got caught up in the moment
Why don't you call me in the morning instead
Before we turn into a monster
Before we turn into a monster with two heads

Well, I hope to god I'll love you harder
I hope to god I'll love you longer
If only I could live forever
If only I could hold you longer

Well, I hope to god I'll love you harder
I hope to god I'll love you longer
If only I could live forever
If only I could hold you longer

King - Years & Years

I caught you watching me under the light
Can I be your line?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't wanna try

Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
To feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

Don't you remember how I used to like
Being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?

Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I've compromised
To feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go

I had to break myself to carry on
No love and no admission
Take this from me tonight
Oh, let's fight
Oh, let's fight
Oh, let's fight
Oh

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything

Take shelter - Years & Years

I'll wait until you have to go
I'll make it so you never ever know
How much I have messed it up

We're running around like we don't care
It's gonna leave its marks somewhere
Do you want to show me something new?

(You go now, reached my top anyway
You go now, reached my top anyway)


Just tell me what I have to do
To keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn

I know I wanted far too much
Then I thought that wouldn't be enough
All this talk is closing you

Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used

Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used

I don't really wanna stop myself
Nobody's gonna tell me I need help
Are you coming over soon?

I need you at the darkest time
You hold me, and I have to shut my eyes
I'm shy, cannot be what you like

(You go down, reached my top anyway
You go down, reached my top anyway)


Just tell me what I have to do
To keep myself apart from you
All your colours start to burn

And take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used

Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used

I don't really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love
If you wanna find something more
I'll be the one to run for you

I don't really need this pressure to go
If you wanna find love
If you wanna find something more
I'll be the one to run for you

Take shelter
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used
Then get used

And take shelter (shelter)
Take the pressure
Do what you want tonight
It's alright
If you want to get used

Desire - Years & Years

I must be tough
I must behave, I must keep fighting
Don't give it up
I want to keep us compromising

Open your arms and pray
To the truth that you're denying
Give in to the game
To the sense that you've been hiding

Where are you taking me?
I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again

Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
Cause your love only gets me abused

Give me that rush
I want to show you what you've been missing
Am I enough
To keep your other lovers hidden?

Where are you taking me?
I can't be blamed
I want you to want me again

Is it desire
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
Cause your love only gets me abused

Is it desire (is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose

You know that you've got me
You've locked me down
You tell me you want me
You need it now

You know that you've got me
You've locked me down
You tell me you want me now

Is it desire (is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you?
I want desire (I want desire)
Cause your love only gets me abused

Is it desire (is it desire)
Or is it love that I'm feeling for you? (that I'm feeling for you)
I want desire
I wanna see what you're willing to lose (what you're willing to lose)

Memo - Years & Years

Are you gonna hurt?
Are you gonna burn?
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart
Love you in the dark
No one has to see
I, I want more, I want more
I, I want more, I want more

You see yourself in another way
I try my best but I don't ever change
I love to watch your body light
Makes me feel better, makes me satisfied
No-oh-oh, you could bring it back
Who wouldn't want it when he looks like that?
Oh, oh, oh, I want you to stay
And if I try my hardest, would you look my way?

Are you gonna hurt?
Are you gonna burn?
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart
Love you in the dark
No one has to see
I, I want more, I want more
I, I want more, I want more

You could bring it back
Who wouldn't want it when he looks like that?
Oh, oh, oh, I want you to stay
And if I try my hardest, would you look my way?

Are you gonna hurt?
Are you gonna burn?
Gonna answer me?
Let me take your heart
Love you in the dark
No one has to see
I, I want more, I want more
I, I want more, I want more

Glory and gore - Lorde

There's a humming in the restless summer air
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
It's clear that someone's gotta go
We mean it, but I promise we're not mean

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
We let our battles choose us

And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us and how it plays out
Now we're in the ring and we're coming for blood

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

No-one around here's good at keeping their eyes closed
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
Tired little laughs, gold lie promises
We'll always win at this, I don't ever think about death
It's alright if you do, it's fine
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
“Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?”
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

You could try and take us
But we're the gladiators
Everyone a rager
But secretly they're saviours
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That's why we're making headlines
You could try and take us
But victory's contagious

Beautiful crime - Tamer

Each step I left behind
Each road you know is mine
Walking on the line ten stories high
Say you'll still be by my side

If I could take your hand
If you could understand
That I can barely breathe, the air is thin
I fear the fall and where we'll land

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't look back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
I gave you everything
And it's a beautiful crime

Each breath I left behind
Each breath you take is mine
Walking on the line ten stories high
Fear a fall, you're asking why

We're leaving the things we lost
Leaving the ones we've crossed
I have to make an end, so we begin
To save my soul at any cost

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't look back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
I gave you everything
This darkness is the light

This darkness is the light

We fight every night for something
When the sun sets we're both the same
Half in the shadows
Half burned in flames
We can't go back for nothing
Take what you need, say your goodbyes
(I gave you everything)
And it's a beautiful crime

Immortal - Marina And The Diamonds

I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start

That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history, it's just
Part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game

I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

No, I don't wanna be afraid
Afraid to die, die, die
I just wanna be able to say
That I have lived my life, life
Oh, all the things that humans do
To leave behind a little proof
But the only thing that doesn't die is love, love, love
Love, love

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memories of our lifetime
Everybody dies, dies
Chasing after time, time

So keep me alive
So keep me alive
So keep me alive, alive

Five to one - The Doors

Yeah, c'mon
Love my girl
She looking good
C'mon
One more

Five to one, baby, one in five
No one here gets out alive now
You get yours, baby, I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby, if we try

The old get old and the young gets stronger
May take a week and it may take longer
They got the guns but we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah, we're taking over, come on

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening
Crawl across the years

You walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
Gonna make it, baby, in our prime

Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time

Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, gotta get together

Hey, c'mon, honey
Won't have long wait for me, baby
I'll be there in just a little while
You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and

Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Take you up in my room and
Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah

Love my girl
She looking good, looking real good
Love you, c'mon

Shoot your gun - 22-20s

Spin me some sad story
Sell me some excuse
To help me understand the things you do
Cause the way you treat your lovers
Well, I just can't relate
And where'd you learn to shoot your gun so straight?

Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there’s some tears behind your eyes
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there's a hurt behind your eyes

Once you had a reason
And once you had a place
You had it all and laid it all to waste
And I know you hate to need us
But why'd you need to hate?
And where'd you learn to shoot without restraint?

Oh baby, won't you cry?
You cut yourself so let me see you bleed
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Cry for all the things you'll never be

Oh baby, won't you cry?
Show me there’s some tears behind your eyes
Oh baby, won't you cry?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?
Why'd you have to kill to feel alive?

Big bad world - Kodaline

Maybe I'm wrong
Or maybe I'm right
Maybe it's just too late but this is keeping me awake all night
Maybe say yes or maybe say no
Maybe I'm just too shy to admit that it is time to go

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

Maybe believe
Or maybe don't care
Shit, maybe there is no god in the big white clouds up there
Maybe live long
Or maybe die young
Or maybe live every day like it's your last day under the sun

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Try to make it all feel right

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

We go out on our own
It's a big bad world outside
Carrying our dreams and all that they mean
Trying to make it all worthwhile

Seven nation army - The White Stripes

I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore

And I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding and I'm bleeding
Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Stay gold - First Aid Kit

The sun shone high those few summer days
Left us in a song, wide-eyed haze
It shone like gold
It shone like gold

But just as the moon it shines straight
So dawn goes down today
No gold can stay
No gold can stay

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

We're on our way through rugged land
Top of that mountain we wanted to stand
With hearts of gold
With hearts of gold

But there is only forward, no other way
Tomorrow was your hope at the end of the day
And gold turns gray
And gold turns gray

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can get back
All of my dreams, they fall and form a bridge
Of memories where I can't get back to you

What if our hard work ends in despair?
What if the road won't take me there?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold

What if to love and be loved is not enough?
What if I fall and can't bear to get up?
Oh, I wish for once we could stay gold
We could stay gold

Could stay gold
Stay gold

Master pretender - First Aid Kit

Never thought that I was weak
Always thought I could get hurt pretty bad
Still get up on my own two feet

I always believed that I was free
That I had some sense of integrity
That would rise above whatever tried to change me

But, honey, now I won't wait
For something to bring me around and smile
Cause that only sticks for a while
Then I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

I always knew that I was young
But with a head held high and a shotgun
I could fool almost anyone

I never expected to be struck
By the fatal hands of fortune
Or by sheer bad luck

But, honey, now we won't change
And memories just rearrange
And fall into place
So I'm back again

Oh, I'm a master pretender

All the streets of New York City
Sure it look pretty from way up here
And I was headed home
Just found more alone
The further I'd go

I always thought that you'd be here
But shit gets fucked up
And people just disappear

So honey now don't be mad
Time has told me it can't be that bad
And if it is, well, big goddamn
But I'll stick around

I'll be your master defender
Yeah, I'll stick around
I'll be your master defender

Dance me to the end of love - The Civil Wars

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love
Please, dance me to the end of love

Oh, let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Oh, let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Oh, show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love
Please, dance me to the end of love

Oh, dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on
And dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, and both of us above
And dance me to the end of love
Won't you dance me to the end of love

20 years - The Civil Wars

There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope

There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize

In the meantime, I'll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door

Falling - The Civil Wars

Haven't you seen me sleepwalking?
Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh, let me tell you I am

Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Why am I feeling so guilty
And why am I holding my breath?
I'm worried about everyone but me
And I just keep losing myself

Oh, tell me it's nothing
And try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh, let me tell you I am

Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you

Oh, won't you read my mind?
Don't you make me lie here and die here

Oh, please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
With you

Oh, haven't you noticed?
And I, I'm sleepwalking

All these things that I've done - The Killers

When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on
Hold on

I want to stand up
I want to let go
You know, you know
No, you don't, you don't
I want to shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches
Another heart breaks
I’m so much older than I can take
And my affection
Well, it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection
No, no, no, no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son?
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You know you got to help me out

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, oh, don't you put me on the backburner
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and again
Last call for sin
While everyone's lost
The battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done

(Time, truth, hearts)

If you can hold on
If you can hold on

I'm not the only one - Sam Smith

You and me, we made a vow
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you have mine

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realise my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one

You say I'm crazy
Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me ‘baby’
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, know
I know I'm not the only one

Coming home - Tim McMorris

When I started it was good
Built my castle with my hand
But I didn't realize
I built on sand

And the wind came rushing in
And the waves rolled from the shores
And my kingdom tumbled down
Roof to the floors

And that day I walked away
Said I would never turn back again
But I knew, I could feel inside
That I was wrong

Yeah, and as I left, pushed you aside
You held your hand out as you cried
And said, “Though now you turn away, it won't be long

Now you will not let me near
But I will wait for you right here
Ready to fix your broken heart
Wounded and torn

You'll be coming home
Home
You’ll be coming home
Home
You’ll be coming home”


When I was young the world was simple, I was free
But as I aged a monster grew inside of me
Tried to mask the emptiness
Tried to cover up the pain
Angry at life though I was clearly the one to blame

Then I met you
And it was good for a little while
But somehow I missed the bigger picture and let you go

But even with all my mistakes
You loved me still, past the heart aches
You told me to give up my old ways
You'd help me move on

And though you'd always been good to me
I was still blind, yeah, I couldn't see
And though I tried you said I wouldn't last
I couldn't last alone

I'd be coming home
Home
I’d be coming home
Home
Yeah, I'd be coming home
Home
Yeah, I’d be coming home
Home

That I’d be coming home
That I’d be coming home
That I’d be coming home
I’d be coming home
Yeah, I’ll be coming home

Time in a bottle - Jim Corce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Prisoner of the road - Sivert Høyem

When I go, I go alone
There ain't no one ever looking out for me
Just the sun, my own lean shadow
And the wind out among the trees

Home, it's far beyond long lost horizons
Home I'll never see
For I'll be a prisoner of the road
And I hold no key that will ever set me free

Most humbly on my bending knee
I'm begging you to help me, please
For I'm a prisoner of the road
And I hold no key, I hold no key that will ever set me free

Fact-fiction - Mads Langer

Imagine a world without me
Say you're falling apart
Let's pretend you've missed me for a while
Wouldn't you say you were lonely
And love was breaking your heart?
Put on your sunday best and fake a smile

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction

Remember the night you were with me
Fell asleep by my side
Strangers together
Your hand in mine
How come we never came closer
When all the stars were aligned?
I thought we had a moment

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction
I seem to miss the missing part
She's still my favourite work of art
The picture’s clear and I'm still fact
She's fiction

No, nothing has changed cause I'm still fact
She's fiction
Or I may be imperfectly formed in this contradiction

I dream of dreaming dreams of her
In twilight she's a constant blur
The picture’s clear cause I'm still fact
She's fiction

I fell in love with her longing
Let's just say that she never found out
Who it was she never found in me

Invisible man - Theory Of A Deadman

Haven't seen me lately
Staying hard to find
Well, I know it ain't easy
But you know I don't mind

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
Going once, going twice, fuck this, I'm gone

You've been looking for days now
Oh, but I'm not around
I've been finding new ways how
To see that I'm never found

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
Going once, going twice, fuck this I'm gone

You can see right through me
Outta sight, outta mind
Can you see why it's easy
To be the hardest to find?

I always know where you are
(You never know where I am)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible man)
You'll never know where I've gone
(You've gone and done it again)
You've got me sneaking around
(Like the invisible-ble-ble)

Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like the invisible man
Like I'm invisible

Going once, going twice, three times, fuck this I'm gone

Mercenary - Panic! At The Disco

Just a dime store poet
Keeping pace, talking his face blue
Two dollar store tramps
To get a glance, a new chance at you

Walk past the dance floor
That's always been a dear friend of mine
Cut calls and concubines
Dancing in 4/4 time

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”


In love I've always been a mercenary
But I never leave my post when the cash runs out
I want to make you quiver
Make your backbone shiver
Hey kid, take the stage and deliver

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”


Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage
Collateral damage

How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent's blood?
Do you feel sad?
Full of rage?
Or does that outfit help you bury your feelings?
I hate to hear your true self
You're truly an extraordinary specimen
I look forward to breaking you”

I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage

Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”


Hey mister
The bellman says
”I can only recall this nice hotel, I said”
So he replies “
“Then how do you manage?”
“I dodge the blast
And apologize for collateral damage”

Lyset - Kristian Kristensen

Æ hoppe gjennom taket
Ta mæ tilbake til et sted
Kor alle hullan fylles
Kor det blir bånsull av det grå
Tar av mæ jakken og æ tie stille
Bølgan stryker på mæ
Å kor æ undres koffer
Har ikkje æ valgt dette før

Å æ rår nu med min vilje
Ka æ gjorde før
Var aldri livet som nu tar rot
Lyset går i en retning som gror
Ha det så det skal gi mæ en ro
Ka vil æ mer?
Har æ bestemt mæ for å tro?
For å tro på valget?

Flimmranes minna vekke
Filma som starte med en slutt
Ringanes iPhone hindre mæ fra å komme dit æ vil
Æ går fra stund te stund te opp og ned mens kloden går sin gang
Er bare perioda alt det æ føle er alt æ ser

Å æ rår nu med min vilje
Ka æ gjorde før
Var aldri livet som nu tar rot
Lyset går i en retning som gror
Ha det så det skal gi mæ en ro
Ka vil æ mer?
Har æ bestemt mæ for å tro?
For å tro på valget?

Og livet tar rot
Lyset går i en retning som gror
Ha det så det skal gi mæ en ro

Æ hoppe gjennom taket
Ta mæ tilbake til et sted
Kor alle hullan fylles
Kor det blir bånsull av det grå

Og æ rår nu med min vilje
Ka æ gjorde før
Var aldri livet som nu tar rot

Førr æ rår med min vilje
Ka æ gjorde før
Var aldri livet som nu tar rot
Lyset går i en retning som gror
Ha det så det skal gi mæ en ro
Ka vil æ mer?
Har æ bestemt mæ for å tro?
For å tro på valget?

Livet tar rot

The longer I run - Peter Bradley Adams

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine
I miss the life that I left behind
But when I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry
I know I left in the nick of time

Well, this road I'm on is gonna turn to sand
And leave me lost in a far off land
So let me ride the wind ‘til I don't look back
Forget the life that I almost had

If I wonder ‘til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again

Tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
But if my saviour comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul

If I wonder ‘til I die
May I know who's hand I'm in
If my home I'll never find
And let me live again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again

The longer I run
Then the less that I find
Selling my soul for a nickel and dime
Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes
And losing again
Losing again

The longer I run
I'm losing again
Losing again

Give me love - Ed Sheeran

Give me love like her
Cause lately I've been waking up alone
Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt
Told you I'd let them go
And that I'll fight my corner
Maybe tonight I'll call you
After my blood turns into alcohol
No, I just wanna hold you

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, give me love

Give me love like never before
Cause lately I've been craving more
And it's been a while but I still feel the same
Maybe I should let you go
You know I'll fight my corner
And that tonight I'll call you
After my blood is drowning in alcohol
No, I just wanna hold you

Give a little time to me or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love

Give a little time to me, or burn this out
We'll play hide and seek to turn this around
All I want is the taste that your lips allow
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, give me love

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (love me, love me, love me)

M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love, love me)
M-my my, m-my my, m-my my, give me love, lover (give me love)

My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love
My, my, my, my, oh give me love




Of all the money that I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

Take me to church - Hozier

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should have worshipped her sooner
If the Heavens ever did speak
She’s the last true mouthpiece
Every sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week
“We were born sick,” you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, “Worship in the bedroom”
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Amen, amen, amen, amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

If I'm a pagan of the good times
My lover's the sunlight
To keep the Goddess on my side
She demands a sacrifice
To drain the whole sea
Get something shiny
Something meaty for the main course
That's a fine looking high horse
What you got in the stable?
We've a lot of starving faithful
That looks tasty
That looks plenty
This is hungry work

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins so you can sharpen your knife
Offer me my deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

No masters or kings when the ritual begins
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am human
Only then I am clean
Amen, amen, amen

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Oh good God, let me give you my life

On the radio - Regina Spektor

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd

While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep

And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees

While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard, “November Rain”
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took

And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear, “November Rain”
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
Cause the DJ is asleep

On the radio, on the radio
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio, uh oh
On the radio, uh oh, on the radio

Once - Bradley Caleb Kane

You change in front of me
Your eyes get darker every day
It happens quietly
Your focus slowly burns away
And if you let me hear
The things you seem to wanna say
Though I am late
I will wait to go
Until I know you're somewhere safe

And even if you chose
To lock yourself away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say

“Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again”


You're falling into it
An inescapable release
Or something intimate
Between the you that no one sees
Is there a way inside
You only hide from enemies
Cause I'll wait
I'm afraid you won't get rid of me so easily

And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say

“Once I was real
Once I had something to lose
Once I could feel
Once I was harder to bruise
Once I was here
Once I was willing to bend
Once I appear
I will be real once again”


You're falling farther than
I've ever seen you fall before
For me to wonder when
I'll recognize you anymore
To see no light inside your eyes at all
To bang my head against the wall
And force myself to watch you pull away

And even if you chose
To lock the world away
If I listen close
I can almost hear you say

“Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again”

“Once I was real
Once I was somebody's child
Once I could feel
Some feeling once in a while
Once I was here
Once I was somebody's friend
Once I appear
I will be real once again”
