Ok i don't know if this topic exits already,but if it does sorry.

here is my favourit at the moment....



Macy gray feat.Anthony hamilton-Love and war
Anthony Hamilton:
Got my back against the wall now
Problems that I didn’t see
We got caught up in tangle
Then you tried to swing on me
How could I justified mistreating the love of my life
I ain’t too proud to beg for better my baby that’s what I deserve
Tried to be good to you
Even stood there by you
And you ran out on me anyway
I must have been a fool

Chorus:
Cause all is fair in love and war
So when your fighting someone you love you better be careful
There no feelings, there’s low blows
Just in case you didn’t know
Cause in the morning it will be alright, alright, alright

Macy Gray:
Here comes him again
Steaking in my backdoor
Bruised heart torn from trampling
From years of my past
I’m painless, I’m angry
No time to catch feeling
I’ve been done wrong so I’m stone cold
And down to get even
Loves a gamble and I ain’t winning
Torn up from my past
Love don’t live here no more

Chorus x’s 2
Cause all is fair in love and war
So when your fighting someone you love you better be careful
There no feelings, there’s low blows
Just in case you didn’t know
Cause in the morning it will be alright, alright, alright

All is fair in love and war
All is fair in love and war


Anthony Hamilton: So why you wanna hurt me?
Macy Gray: I tried to hurt you cause you tried to play me out
Anthony Hamilton: So why you so cruel to me?
Macy Gray: You took my heart and you tried to play me soft?
Anthony Hamilton: You took my heart and stoned it
Macy Gray: I didn’t want u take and tried to lead you on
Anthony Hamilton: All I was, was good to you
Macy Gray: I didn’t want u take and tried to lead you on
Anthony Hamilton: So why you wanna hurt me?
Macy Gray: I tried to hurt you cause you tried to play me out
Anthony Hamilton: Why you run around on me?
Macy Gray: You took my heart and you tried to play it soft
Anthony Hamilton: How long can this last?
Macy Gray: I didn’t want u take and tried to lead you on
Anthony Hamilton: You took the best of me
Macy Gray: I took the best of you
Anthony Hamilton: Ain’t too many more days I’m gonna be treated this way
And it too many more lies I’m gonna listen to my baby
If you listen to me things will go a little bit better

Macy Gray: Why would I listen to you
Anthony Hamilton: Willing to give you a chance yes I am

Two of my all-time favourites (Yes, I like the Smiths)

--------------------------------------

Oh Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your mother's bridal veil...

'The Queen is Dead' - The Smiths

-------------------------------------------------------

I dreamt about you last night
And I fell out of bed twice
You can pin and mount me like a butterfly
but take me to the heaven of your bed
was something that you never said
Two lumps please
You're the bees knees
But so am I

'Reel Around The Fountain' - The Smiths

"I know what you're thinking,
I know how you're feeling,
Believe me,
You're not alone"

Home Grown - You're Not Alone.

Any major dude with half a heart,
Surely would tell you my friend,
Any minor world that breaks apart,
Falls together again.
When the demon is at your door.
In the morning it won't be there, no more.
Any major dude would tell you.

Steely Dan 1972

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray

Problems - Sex Pistols

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson (one of the only music CDs I own!)

I used to live in Germany and had a relativaly good job, when I decided 'it was time for a change': to breakaway! (it's a VERY long story!!)
Around that time I heard it in the radio for the first time and it has accompanied me over the last year, during which I left many friends to move back to england.

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stare out my window
Dreamin' of a could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed (I would pray)
I could breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
and I'll make a wish,
Take a chance,
Make a change
And break away
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
I'll make a wish,
Take a chance,
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved (ohohoh: that line's a promise, when you leave good friends behind...)
I'll take a risk,
Take a chance,
Make a change
And break away

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep movin' on, movin' on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye (It sure ain't!)
I gotta take a risk,
Take a chance,
Make a change
And breakway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk,
Take a chance,
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway


I had to answer to this thread didn't I?
Now I'm feeling depressed... maybe because I've listened to the song another 3 times, while posting this!

Sammy

sammy that was touching to read,i identify cuz i moved from sweden to uk as well.

Anyway i'm loving lauryn hill and john legend lately SO HIGH,damn that song does something to me,here in my own words,ur=your in case u don't understand my net language lol(shorter words)



SO HIGH

Lauryn hill: Feels like we can touch the sky,so high baby so high,u so consious and self aware i'm next to u i hold ur back and u express pure extasy,it's more than just the sex to me cuz mentally u take me there,yea i pretend to be unafected u went in to be respected i commend ur boldness u didn't feel being rejected,so u aproached me while other men remained intimidated,glad u did cuz once u came u got much more than antisipated,every time we kiss we feel the magnectic fields that we got between us,i think it's something about ur vaunrability,the defination of a real man even acknowledge how he feels for me,in a fast lane with a manhood exploration,ur transparent language how u articulate a situation,and i can see it in ur stare,a classical architecture.

John legend:Ever since the day u came into my life,u made me realise that we where born to fly,u showed me everyday new possibilities,and u proved my fantasies love could really be,let us go to a place only lovers go,to a spot that we never known,to the top of a cloud floading awaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy,ohhhhh it's been so crazy ohh this love enslaves me baby we so high walking on cloud nine,baby so high yeah,so high so high so high,feels like we can touch the sky.

Both:Now maybe later we can go up to the moon,or sail amongst the stars before the night is through and when the morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far and we can't get much closer to god than where we are,so we'll go to a place only lovers go to a spot that we've never known,to the top of the clouds we floatting awaaaaayyy,oooohhhhhh feels so crazy ohhh this love is blazing baby we are so high walking on cloud nine,so high so high so high baby baby we can touch the sky.

Feels like this love could be all that it's supossed to be,feels just like extasy each time each time u holding me,all that we fantasised we've come to realise baby baby baby we can touch the sky.

This one is my fave at the moment, it seems quite apt with this weather.


Here's Your Future -- The Thermals


God reached his hand down from the sky
He flooded the land then he set it on fire
He said, "Fear me again. Know I'm your father.
Remember that no one can breathe underwater"

So bend your knees and bow your heads
Save your babies, here's your future
Yeah, here's your future

God reached his hand down from the sky
God asked Noah if he wanted to die
He said no sir
Oh, no, sir

God said here's your future
It's going to rain
So we're packing our things
We're building a boat
Where God will create the new master race
Cause we're so pure
Oh, we're so pure
So here's your future

God told his son it's time to come home
I promise you won't have to die all alone
I need you to pay for the sins I create
His son said, "I will but Dad, I'm afriad"

Yeah, so here's your future
Here's your future
Yeah, here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future
So here's your future


Watch them play it live here.

From Hey there Delilah - Plain White T's

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

and from Jolene - Ray Lamontagne

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in a ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood in my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means

Elvis Presley (coverin Neil Diamond's) - And the grass won't pay no mind

Listen easy, you can hear God calling
Walking barefoot by the stream
Come on to me, Your hair's softly falling
On my face as in a dream
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Saying nothing, lying where the sun is
Baking down upon our sides
My lips touch you, with their soft wet kisses
Your hands gentle in reply
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
Child, touch my soul with your cries
And the music will know what we've found
I, hear a hundred good-byes
But today I hear only one sound
The moment we're living is now
Now now now now now now now
Young bird flying, and a soft wind blowing
Cools the sweat inside my palms
Close my eyes, hear the flowers growing
As you lay sleeping in my arms
And the time will be our time
And the grass won't pay no mind
No the grass won't pay no mind

This must be the sweetest song I've ever heard.

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind


And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight'

I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

Stay Free - The Clash

We met when we were in school
Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools.
The teacher says we're dumb
We're only having fun
We piss on everyone...
In the classroom

When we got thrown out I left without much fuss
An' weekends We'd go dancing
Down Streatham on the bus

You always made me laugh,
Got me in bad fights,
playing pool all night,
Smokin' Menthol

I practiced daily in my room
You were down the Crown planning your next move
Go on a nicking spree,
Hit the wrong guy,
Each of you get three...
Years in Brixton!

I did my very best to write
How was Butlins?
Were the screws too tight?
When you lot get out,
We're gonna hit the town,
We'll burn it fuckin' down...
To a cinder!

'Cos years have passed and things have changed
And i move anyway i wanna go!
I'll never forget the feeling i got
When i heard that you were home!
An' I'll never forget the smile on my face
'Cos i knew where you would be!
An' if you're in the Crown tonight,
Have a drink on me,
But go easy... Step lightly... Stay free...

CRASS

"White Punks On Hope"

They said that we were trash,
Well the name is Crass, not Clash.
They can stuff their punk credentials
Cause it's them that take the cash.
They won't change nothing with their fashionable talk,
All their RAR badges and their protest walk,
Thousands of white men standing in a park,
Objecting to racism's like a candle in the dark.
Black man's got his problems and his way to deal with it,
So don't fool yourself you're helping with your white liberal shit.
If you care to take a closer look at the way things really stand,
You'd see we're all just niggers to the rulers of this land.

Punk was once an answer to years of crap,
A way of saying no where we'd always said yep.
But the moment we saw a way to be free,
They invented a dividing line, street credibility.
The qualifying factors are politics and class,
Left wing macho street fighters willing to kick arse.
They said because of racism they'd come out on the street.
It was just a form of fascism for the socialist elite.
Bigotry and blindness, a marxist con,
Another clever trick to keep us all in line.
Neat little labels to keep us all apart,
To keep us all divided when the troubles start.

Pogo on a nazi, spit upon a jew,
Vicious mindless violence that offers nothing new.
Left wing violence, right wing violence, all seems much the same,
Bully boys out fighting, it's just the same old game.
Boring fucking politics that'll get us all shot,
Left wing, right wing, you can stuff the lot.
Keep your petty prejudice, I don't see the point,
ANARCHY AND FREEDOM IS WHAT I WANT.
