Tattooed boys with expensive toys.
Living in a bubble of sin.
Money can buy you most of anything.
Fix your nose or the mess your in.
Front page news you can share your views.
With a population that wants to be like you.
Out on the strip. Out on the tiles.
Same old greed behind the PR smiles.

You and all your entourage. To me your all the same.
You and all your entourage. Playing foolish games.

[CHORUS:]

I don't want your big city shining.
I don't want your silver lining.
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire.

He's got a wife, she ain't no brain child.
EX mud queen of Miami.
In his stretch cadillac, he keeps her in the back.
With his CD player and his bottle of Jack.
LA dude. LA Attitude. Laid back, selfish and getting fat.
Body gaurds, Porn Stars, Gold credit cards.
Using each other. Running for cover.

[CHORUS.]
 
You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Something better than nothing
Something better than nothing, it's giving up
We all need to do something
Try to keep the truth from showing up

How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?
How dare you
How old are you now, anyway?

You're given a flower
But I guess there's just no pleasing you
Your lip tastes sour
But you think that it's just me teasing you

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue

Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway
Get behind me
Get behind me now, anyway

You got a reaction
You got a reaction, didn't you?
You took a white orchid
You took a white orchid turned it blue
 
Hornsman Coyote - flower fields

Yes they found a reason
to burn the flower fields
but Jah mystic forces
watched over you and me baby

Life for the rich
and law for the poor

Yet now is the time
they step across the line
Now is the time
they didnt mind the gap
so they step across the line
Now is the time

Them no worry about the hunger
on million hopeless faces
Them no worry about the children
dying all over the places


All them a wonder
is how to control
poor people


High praise to Jah on my bending knees
 
We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Chorus:
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

Yeah it does

I listen to her favorite song
playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could let you know somehow
I guess

Chorus

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
but the scar, that scar will remain

Solo

I know I could saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways

and now I hear you found somebody new
and that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
I guess

Chorus
 
Anathema - Lost control

Life has betrayed me once again,
I accept some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony,
and it's left me with a chem'cal dependency for sanity.

Yes, I am falling... how much longer till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?

I'm coming to an end,
I've realised what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control.
 
I'm not one to say
Where my feelings are going when they wither away
I pray to see another day
My heart's feeling like a needle lost in the hay
Restrained to meet again
My friend do you think that we ever will
I know we are free...

The games are played with your life on the line
Some lose, you win if you keep on trying
I don't mind doing the time, I'm happier being alive
Now I know the means to my opression were all lies
The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned
I know we are free...

Yeah,
Don't go,
No,
Don't look back,
Just realize

I've been robbed, I've been fooled
I intent now to make my own rules
Dagger's edge cut the life, I've been down that road too many times

What's to fear, fear no more,
Show my conscience what fear's for
Now I know this is so real
What's done is done so do as you will!

I'm keeping alive! Go on, no don't look back
Just realise where you've gone.
Where are you going to, no life's not done wit you
You're only just begun, to live your life, for you...
 
Time flies and life passes
Already I seem to hear
the last trumpet singing
Oh, come out of the grave
You've scattered ashes and bones
Oh, rise again, you souls

Today we are born
and tomorrow we die
Time flies; life passes
Today we appear
and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies; life passes
Today we are born
and tomorrow we die
Time flies; life passes
Today we appear
and tomorrow we're gone
Time flies; life passes

Oh, rise and tell us, truly
If we should have served
This world or the king in heaven
To open our eyes to the truth
That life is but a breath of wind
that passes in a moment

(chorus)

This mortal life
has wings to fly so fast
and passes at such speed
The wind is thunderbolts

The day is swiftly kidnapped
and likewise, the night
Winter and summer fade
vanishing to eternity
Time which will not endure
devours us and measures our span

All life is given from heaven
And then is whisked away
 
I see a cross,
So rotting and sad.
I see a flag,
A bloody torn rag.

Oh the games we play,
Oh the lies we tell,
Oh the hearts that are broken,
Between heaven and hell.

And the stones will fall,
Never to rise.
And the world will shrug,
And close her eyes.


In this black night,
In these jaws of steel,
All our battles lost,
Beneath an iron hill.

Oh what damned mankind,
And all his woes.
And I'd murder Cupid,
With his bow.

And the stones will fall,
Never to rise.
And the world will shrug,
And close her eyes.


Across this earth,
A poison seeps.
From house to house,
That plague does creep.

With smiles and whispers,
To blunt ourselves.
With fools' gold,
For our souls.

And the stones will fall,
Never to rise.
And the world will shrug
And close her eyes,

And simply say goodbye...
 

KERBER - SEOBE

Ptice lete na jug
i vracaju se
ljudi ognjista gase
zauvek odlaze

Zemljina nedra su
velika ko Bog
sa mlekom za sve

Najveci jad je ostaviti dom
od nemila do nedraga
pred sudbinom zlom

Ref. 2x

Ne ostaju tragovi
pesme grobovi ne pevaju
 


Umiru jeleni
i sad u meni tamo gde si bila
slomilo se jutro
ko ti je rekao da snovi tamne
nikad necu znati
jer bicu samo trag coveka
i bicu vodja skitnica

Nek bude dan kad divlje ptice krenu
preko istog mosta ja cu preci
ako me tamo ceka tvoja senka
nista necu reci
jer bicu samo trag coveka
i bicu vodja skitnica

Ref.
Ne brini, ne brini
jeleni umiru sami
 
The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
and the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet
And I'll walk 20 more I don't care

And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone

I'm like a ghost some people can't see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It's like I'm not even there

And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone

Well I've never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone

Some people are born with their lives all laid out
and all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin'
They take it and don't say a word
They don't say a word

Sometimes it's like I don't even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone

And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
 
Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills
and put your helmet on

Ground Control to Major Tom
Commencing countdown,
engines on
Check ignition
and may God's love be with you

[spoken]
Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Liftoff

This is Ground Control
to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule
if you dare

This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating
in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past
one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much
she knows

Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead,
there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating
round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
 
"Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face I kissed her neck
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Oh, won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"


You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
:heart:
 
Gary Jules - mad world

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world


Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
 
In ancient times,
Hundreds of years before the dawn of history.
There lived a strange race of people...the Druids.
No one knows who they were, or...what they were doing...
But their legacy remains...
Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge...

Stonehenge!
Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge!
Where a man is a man and the children dance
To the pipes of Pan...

Stonehenge!
Tis' a magic place,
Where the moon doth rise, with a dragon's face
Stonehenge!
Where the virgins lie
And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky...

And you my love, won't you take my hand
We'll go back in time,
To that mystic land
Where the dew drops cry, and the cats meow
I will take you there
I will show you how....

And Oh how they danced...
The little children of Stonehenge
Beneath the haunted moon...
For fear that daybreak, might come too soon...

And where are they now?
The little people of Stonehenge...
And what would they say to us,
If we were here.........Tonight.......
 
(Hello, what have we here?)
(A young lady!)
(To what do I owe this pleasant surprise my pretty one?)
(How may I be of service this dark and wintry night?)
(Ah, I see... you wish me to look into the future, your future)
(After GCSEs, A-levels, University...)
(After your first badly paid job in advertising)
(Okay my pretty... just cross my palm with plastic, and I'll see what I
Can do)
(Wait!)
(The fog is lifting...)
I see oriental paper globes
Hanging like decomposing cocoons
While exotic candles overload
The musty air with their stale perfumes
And I see lentils, beans, seaweed and rice
In jars on the window-sill
And it ain't hardly enough to feed the mice
Running behind the lines of allergy pills
All these things will come to pass
When heroes of the middle-class
Face up to their responsibilities
I see and Indian fertility god
He's got thirty seven limbs to spare
And tasteless tie-dyed tablecloths
That double up as evening wear
And I see naked bodies twist and turn
On the futon of dreams fulfilled
But their three-year-old kid seems unconcerned
He'd rather swallow all those allergy pills
All these things will come to pass
When heroes of the middle-class
Face up to their responsibilities
I see unspeakable vulgarity
Institutionalised mediocrity
Infinite tragedy
Rise up little souls - join the doomed army
Fight the good fight - wage the unwinnable war
Elegance against ignorance
Difference against indifference
Wit against shit
My words fly up to heaven, my thoughts remain below
Words said without feeling never to heaven go...
All these things will come to pass
When heroes of the middle-class
Face up, repent, and pay the price
For accidentally creating life
An oversight for which they must atone
And sacrifice their own

The look of love is in your eyes
The look your heart can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more
Than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard
Well, it takes my breath away

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you.

You've got the look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
and then seal it with a kiss

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go

I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
Don't ever go
Don't ever go
I love you so
 
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Still we're often told "seek and ye shall find"
So I'm going to seek a certain girl I've had in mind
Looking everywhere, haven't found her yet
She's the big affair I cannot forget
Only girl I ever think of will regret


I'd like to add her initial to my monogram
Tell me where's the shepherd for this lost lamb

There's a somebody I'm longing to see
I hope that she turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in a wood
I know I could always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although she may not the girl some men think of
As handsome to my heart
She carries the key

Won't you tell her please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh how I need
Someone to watch over me
Someone to watch over me
 
the silver swan, who living had no note,
when death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
leaning her breast upon the reedy shore,
thus sang her first and last, and sang no more:
"farewell, all joys! o death, come close mine eyes!
"more geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.
 
John Dowland (1563-1626)

From The First Book of Songs or Ayres (1597)
Can she excuse my wrongs?
(author anonymous - music setting by J. Dowland)


Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's cloak?
Shall I call her good when she proves unkind?
Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke?
Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find?
No, no; where shadows do for bodies stand,
That may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim.

Cold love is like to words written on sand,
Or to bubbles which on the water swim.
Wilt thou be thus abused still,
Seeing that she will right thee never?
If thou canst not o'ercome her will,
Thy love will be thus fruitless ever.

Was I so base, that I might not aspire
Unto those high joys which she holds from me?
As they are high, so high is my desire,
If she this deny, what can granted be?
If she will yield to that which reason is,
It is reason's will that love should be just.

Dear, make me happy still by granting this,
Or cut off delays if that I die must.
Better a thousand times to die
Than for to love thus still tormented:
Dear, but remember it was I
Who for thy sake did die contented.

"What Shall We Do Now"


What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.
