Tracy Chapman - For My Lover

LYRICS

Two weeks in a Virginia jail
For my lover for my lover
Twenty thousand dollar bail
For my lover for my lover

And everybody thinks
That I'me the fool
But they don't get
Any love from you
The things we won't do for love

I'd climb a mountain if I had to
And risk my life so I could have you
You, you, you...

Everyday I'm psychoanalyzed
For my lover for my lover
They dope me up and I tell them lies
For my lover for my lover

I follow my heart
And leave my head to ponder
Deep in this love
No man can shake

I follow my heart
And leave my mind to wonder
Is this love worth
The sacrifices I make

Jake Bugg - Lightning Bolt

LYRICS

Morning, it's another pure grey morning
Don't know what the day is holding
When I get uptight
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt

Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the center of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky for the path of a lighting bolt

Met her as the angels parted for her
But she only brought me torture
But that's what happens
When it's you who's standing in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line, they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

Chances, people tell you not to take chances
When they tell you that there aren't any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt

Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you.
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line, they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm

His brain is squirmin' like a toad

If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand

The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Νίκος Ξυλούρης - Ήτανε μία φορά

LYRICS (Greek)

Ήτανε μια φορά μάτια μου κι έναν καιρό

μια όμορφη κυρά αρχόντισσα να σε χαρώ

Μια μικροπαντρεμένη κόρη ξανθή

τον κύρη της προσμένει βράδυ πρωί

Ένα Σαββάτο βράδυ καλέ μια Κυριακή

τον ήλιο το φεγγάρι, καλέ, παρακαλεί

Ήλιε μου φώτισέ τον φεγγάρι μου

πάνε και μίλησέ του για χάρη μου

Γυρίζει κι αρμενίζει καλέ στα πέλαγα

τους πειρατές θερίζει καλέ και τους χαλά

Στον ήλιο στο φεγγάρι και στη βροχή

και μένανε μ’ αφήνει έρμη και μοναχή

Γαλέρα ανοίχτηκε μάτια μου με το βοριά

στη μάχη ρίχτηκε μάτια μου και στον καυγά

Μέσα σ’ ένα σινάφι πειρατικό

είδα φωτιά ν’ ανάβει και φονικό

Kasabian - Re-Wired

LYRICS

I feel like the time has come
A fearless rescue from everyone
Who made you the master?
The lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
I was out in exile perfecting my style
I knew you wanted a reaction

Hit me! Harder! I’m getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you

Try to keep up, you scatter brain
She will enter through your vein
Who was your creator?
The one who made you, the flame I need to heat the silver
You’d bring Gods to their knees pick out the bad seeds
Relieve the generals of theirs duties

Hit me! Harder! I’m getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you

Who made you the master?
The Lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
Now this blood and glitter, it tastes so bitter
There’s no retreat for I surrender

Hit me! Harder! I’m getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you

Grinderman - Go Tell The Women

LYRICS

We done our thing
We have evolved
We're up on our hind legs
The problem solved
We are artists
We are mathematicians
Some of us hold extremely high positions
But we are tired
We're hardly breathing
And we're free
Go tell the women that we're leaving

We're sick and tired
Of all this self-serving grieving
All we wanted was a little consensual rape in the afternoon
And maybe a bit more in the evening
We are scientists
We do genetics
We leave religion
To the psychos and fanatics
But we are tired
We got nothing to believe in
We are lost
Go tell the women that we're leaving

We done our thing
We're hip to the sound
Of six billion people
Going down
We are magicians
We are deceiving
We are free and we're lost
Go tell the women that we're leaving

Hey hey
Hey hey
Come on back now to the fray
Hey hey
Hey hey
Come on back now to the fray
Hey hey
Hey hey

Golden Earring - Radar Love

LYRICS

I've been drivin' all night,
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin',
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear

When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need a phone at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air,
Radar Love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely,
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort,
Comin' in from above
Don't need a letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky,
Radar Love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all

We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called,
Radar Love

Τhe Clash - London calling

LYRICS

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus 1:]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

[Chorus 2: x2]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

Now get this

London calling, yes, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling

I never felt so much alike [fading] alike alike alike

Cake - I Will Survive

LYRICS

At first I was afraid 

I was petrified 
I kept thinking I could never live without you 
By my side 

But then I spent so many nights 
Just thinking how you've done me wrong 
I grew strong 
I learned how to get along 

And so you're back 
From outer space 
I just walked in to find you 
Here without that look upon your face 

I should have changed that ****ing lock 
I would have made you leave your key 
If I had known for just one second 
You'd be back to bother me 

Well now go, 
Walk out the door 
Just turn around 
Now, you're not welcome anymore 

Weren't you the one 
Who tried to break me with desire? 
Did you think I'd crumble? 
Did you think I'd lay down and die? 

Oh not I, 
I will survive 
Yeah 
As Long as I know how to love, 

I know I'll be alive 
I've got all my life to live 
I've got all my love to give 
I will survive, 

I will survive 
Yeah, yeah 
It took all the strength I had 
Just not to fall apart 

I'm trying hard to mend the pieces 
Of my broken heart 
And I spent oh so many nights 
Just feeling sorry for myself 

I used to cry, 
But now I hold my head up high 
And you see me 
With somebody new 

I'm not that stupid little person 
Still in love with you 
And so you thought you'd just drop by 
And you expect me to be free 

But now I'm saving all my lovin' 
For someone whose lovin' me 
Well now go, 
Walk out the door 

Just turn around 
Now, you're not welcome anymore 
Weren't you the one 
Who tried to break me with desire? 

Did you think I'd crumple? 
Did you think I'd lay down and die? 
Oh not I, 
I will survive 

Yeah 
As long as I know how to love, 
I know I'll be alive 
I've got all my life to live 

I've got all my love to give 
I will survive, 
I will survive 
Yeah, yeah 
Oh no
