Here's mine:

White Flag
by Dido

I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
I'll tell you that
But if I didn't say it
Well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess
And destruction to come back again
And I caused but nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "It's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
As I'm sure we will
All that was then
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Well I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Losing My Religion
by REM

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

Wow! Already.. 2 songs I really like!

I will add mine:

Sting - Fields Of Gold lyrics

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in the fields of gold
We'll walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Such a pretty song...

REM carried me during late-night study in high school (there was a station in Pereira that played them frequently at around 9:00-10:00).

Linkin Park - Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure, of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart, right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
An' every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

[Chorus:]
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

[Katamarino]

U2 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet

All my life, I worshipped her.
Her golden voice, her beauty's beat.
How she made us feel, how she made me real.
And the ground beneath her feet.
And the ground beneath her feet.

And now I can't be sure of anything.
Black is white and cold is heat.
For what I worshipped stole my love away.
It was the ground beneath her feet.
It was the ground beneath her feet

Go lightly down your darkened way.
Go lightly underground. I'll be down there in another day.
I won't rest until you're found.
Let me love you, let me rescue you.
Let me bring you where two roads meet. Oh come back above.

[Longreach747]

7 Seconds
By Youssou N'Dour & Neneh Cherry








Don't see me from a distance
Don't look at my smile
And think that I don't know
What's under and behind me
I don't want you to look at me and think
What's in you is in me
What's in me is to help them
I assume the reasons that push us to change everything
I would like us to forget about their color
So they can try to be optimistic
Too many views on rave that make them desparate
Let's leave the door wide open
So they can talk about their pain and joy
Then we can give them information
That will bring us all together
Chorus:
It's not a second
7 seconds away
Just as long as I stay
I'll be waiting
Nothing can move us, we should be moving
from the ones who practice wicked charms
For the son and the stone
Bad to the bone
Man is not evil, even when it's born
And when a child is born into this world
It has no concept
The tone the skin is living in
(chorus)
There's a million voices
There's a million voices
To tell you what she should be thinking
so you better sober up for a second



Youssou N'dour has one of the most amazing voices i have ever heard, the lyrics are inspirational!

Growing up for me, in the ghetto was hard. I imagend all the different places I could go, "happy places." NAS- Thugz masion, the song is about not getting cought up in the stuggels of the ghetto.

[Lake] uh uh huh, lets go, yeah!
[Nas] Uh, ghetto children singing "singing"
[Nas] See they eager to learn "uh hum"
[Nas] how to become the next world leaders "Bravehearts"!

[Intro: Nas]
I want you to close your eyes
And vision the most beautiful place in the world
If you in the hood on the ghetto street corner
Come on this journey
The best journey
Thugz Mansion
Acres of land and swimming pools and all that
Check it out

[Verson One: Nas]
I'm capable of anything, my imagination can give me wings
To fly like Ddoves over the streets watchin' many things
Kids walkin' home from school on drug blocks, missionaries
Pass out papers that read: Love God
I see faces, cases, judges, juries, masons, lawyers and cops
I watch because every thugs face is my mirror
But this was one in particular
This kid he was the vintage stick em up pro
16 years old, did his jail sentence, nowhere to go
Every mornin calls his comrad to come and get him to smoke
He insane, already gone mad
Blames himself for his setbacks
Dangerous street corners where his sets at
Sling from dust to dawn, detectives act like they maniacs
Chasin' him, his ass was flarin'
Smokin' like a chimney, on REMY, of course he not carin'
He need a place to go to keep his mind expandin'
I give him a helpin' hand and, bring him out to Thugz Mansion

[Chorus: J. Phoenix]
Every corner, every city
There's a place where life's a little easy
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool
Every hour, cause it's all good
Leave all the stress from the world outside
Every wrong done will be alright
Nothin but peace, love
And street passion, every ghetto needs a thug mansion

[Verse Two: 2Pac]
Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good
Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook
Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Then some lady named Billie Holiday
Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came
Little LaTasha sho' grown
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home
Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us
When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last
Picture a place that they exist, together
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven
So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin
Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Nas]
A place where death doesn't reside, just thugs who collide
Not to start beef but spark trees, no cops rollin by
No policemen, no homicide, no chalk on the streets
No reason, for nobody's momma to cry
See I'm a good guy, I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter
But if I should die, I know all of my albums support her
This whole year's been crazy, asked the Holy Spirit to save me
Only difference from me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe
Cause I feel like my eyes saw too much sufferin
I'm just twenty-some-odd years, I done lost my mother
And I cried tears of joy, I know she smiles on her boy
I dream of you more, my love goes to Afeni Shakur
Cause like Ann Jones, she raised a ghetto king in a war
And just for that alone she shouldn't feel no pain no more
Cause one day we'll all be together, sippin heavnly champagne
What angels saw, with golden wings in thug's mansion

[Chorus]

How about a nice festive holiday song?

Fairytale of New York by The Pogues

It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
I turned my face away
And dreamed about you

Got on a lucky one
Came in eighteen to one
I've got a feeling
This year's for me and you
So happy Christmas
I love you baby
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

They've got cars big as bars
They've got rivers of gold
But the wind goes right through you
It's no place for the old
When you first took my hand
On a cold Christmas Eve
You promised me
Broadway was waiting for me

You were handsome
You were pretty
Queen of New York City
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
Sinatra was swinging,
All the drunks they were singing
We kissed on a corner
Then danced through the night

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can't make it all alone
I've built my dreams around you

The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing "Galway Bay"
And the bells were ringing out
For Christmas day

TOO $HORT LYRICS

"Shake That Monkey"
(feat. Lil' Jon)

[Lil' Jon]
Put a hump in ya back and shake ya rump (HEY!) [4x]
Lets go!

[everyone (2x)]
Bounce dat ass up and down to da flo
Shake that sh-t till you cant no mo'
Twirk that monkey let me see ya get low
Freak that nigga till ya sh-t get sore

[Too Short]
Bounce that ass till ya cant no mo'
Make ya ass touch the flo'
Like ya legs are broke
Take that bid ol' booty girl and scrub the ground
You can do it up and down
Or round n round
As long as that pu--y aint stiff
Dance and make all the niggas look at that sh-t
Like ya strip at a club in the ATL
Lil bitch tore it up and started raisin hell
I remember magic city before the freak nik
Before the police started all that weak sh-t
All the big hoes...Get loose wit it
All the skinny hoes let Bruce Bruce hit it
Let a nigga f-ck tonight
Damn right bitch...f-ck my wife
You my slut for life
You know all i do...is count that cash
I wont charge you as long as you bounce dat ass

[chorus]

Bitch..Bitch..Shake that monkey

I bet she cant wiggle like that wit a d-ck in her
Have a move tha booty contest and pick a winner
When she runnin
You never see the hoe come in last
So fast, she gotta 454 on dat ass
Ya never gonna win that race
Put on a seatbelt dont let her sit on ya face
She might kill you in the mornin at 2:14
Doin the p-ssy pop like she from New Orleans
Its been a while more than 10 years past
When ya close ya eyes you can still see her ass
When mommy used to dance like that
Bouncin that ass wit her hands on her back
I saw a grandmomma do it wit a baby in her arm
Put a hand on her car and started swangin it hard
Every nigga in the party wanna get wit the bitch
Look like she was f-ckin an invisible d-ck

[chorus]

You dont have to be naked to dance like a stripper
Just wiggle that tail like your name is flipper
Do it like a dophin on top of the water
Take it down to the ground, and pop it harder
Youve been hangin round them pimps again
She gangsta walkin like she Memphis 10
Get it girl i like the way you bounce
U must of learned that deep down way in the south
U from the west coast where you learn to do that dance
Im bout to stick my d-ck through the back of your pants
I woundnt pass up a chance to rip your cheeks
All in that ass, ya limpin for a week
Now all that booty, is that for me?
Its lookin so fat, we at the party
Lets hit the bar and drink
Tequila shots
Find a spot on tha floor let me see it drop!

[chorus]

[2x]
Now put yo ass on his d-ck
Let him know you da baddest lil bitch
Put ya hand on ya cl-t
Ask him do he like that sh-t
The way you move your butt
All he wanna do is f-ck
Outside him and you in the truck
Sex so good you cant do it enough

Bounce dat ass bitch [3x]

Show the love in the house

Shake that monkey hoe [until song it over]

Foto's Van Vandaag
by Acda en De Munnik

Ik zag me zelf oud vannacht
Ik wist dat ik het kon
Ik had een huis gebouwd voor haar en alle prijzen die ik won
Alle vrienden die ik kwijt was nu juist nog een voor een gebeld
En daarna had ik op Internet een cadeau voor haar besteld
We konden eindelijk op vakantie, wist niet waarheen maar toch het mocht
Ik had het geld, de tijd, de vrijheid alleen het land niet uitgezocht
Ik had het allermooiste leven
Sliep op een goud gestikt matras
Alleen nergens had ik foto's, foto's van vandaag
Nergens had ik foto's uit die tijd
Dat ze gelukkig was

Ik wil nieuwe foto's graag
Ik wil een foto van hoe mooi het was
Ik wil een foto van vandaag
Foto's bij een zee ofzo
Of van jou alvast met dat cadeau
Ik wil foto's van hoe mooi het was vandaag
Dat ze gelukkig was

Als ik oud word en dat word ik
Dat voel ik elke dag
Dan wil ik een oude lange neger zijn, een bluesman met een lach
Maar ik zag mezelf oud vannacht
Was nou niet bepaald mijn held
Maar het ergste nog van alles was, dat nergens had ik foto's
Nergens had ik foto's van waar wel dat ze gelukkig was

Ik wil nieuwe foto's graag
Ik wil een foto van hoe mooi het was
Ik wil foto's van vandaag
Foto's bij een zee ofzo
Of van jou alvast met dat cadeau
Ik wil foto's van hoe mooi het was vandaag
Dat ze gelukkig was
Foto's bij een zee ofzo
Of van jou alvast met dat cadeau
Ik wil foto's van hoe mooi ze was vandaag
Dat ze gelukkig was

Cheers

Make It Last by Stroke 9

the fire flickers out, making movies on her skin
and in the embers she remembers all the places that she's been
four letter words fly from her mouth
she thinks she's breaking ground
time takes it's toll, she feels his soul
in everything and I say

the way that you feel now
it's cool as long as I know
the way it's gonna be

make it last for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
make it all that you want
and everything that I need

the booze reaches her blood
she forgets his name
the wood has turned to coal
but our desire feeds the flame
will we surrender to the night?
or will our conscience win the fight?
she won't regress, but can't confess
that everything's alright and I say

the way that you feel now
it's cool as long as I know
the way it's gonna be
it's gonna take more
where we're gonna go...

make it last for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
make it all that you want
and everything that I need
make it last make it last 'cause you're not making me
any promises, make it last
make the best of what you see

you give to me what I need to see.
you can't feed my imagination
you give to me what I need to see, it's a twisted fascination
it feels so good to make it through the cold
but you know that he'll
close all the doors just close 'em all
for the rest of time

make it last for an hour
we'll never feel this way again
make it all that you want
and everything that I need
make it last make it last 'cause you're not making me
any promises, make it last
make the best of what you see
(repeat and fade...)

-Pete

i like some of the old Blink stuff, like Dammit :

Blink 182
Dammit

It's alright|To tell me
What you think|about me
I won't try|to argue
Or hold this|against you
I know that|you're leaving
You must have|your reasons
The seasons|is calling
And your pictures are falling down

The steps that|I retrace
The sad look|on your face
The timing|and structure
Did you hear|he fucked her
A day late|a buck short
I'm writing|the report
On losing|and failing
When I loose|I'm flailing now

And it happened once again
I turned to a friend
someone that understands and sees thru the master plan
and when everybody's gone
I've been here for to long
To face this on my own, and I guess this is growing up

And maybe|I'll see you
At a movie|A sneak preview
You'll show up|and walk by
On the arm|of that guy
And I'll smile|and you'll wave
We'll pretend it's ok
The charade|it won't last
When he's gone|I won't come back

And it happened once again
You turned to a friend
someone that understands and sees thru the master plan
and when everybody's gone
And you've been here for to long
To face this on your own, and I guess this is growing up
