The Cat Empire ; Two Shoes

 

One day one woman asked him

‘what do you to survive?’

he said ‘oh my dear listen here’

and this is what he cried

 

On my feet I wear two shoes for dancing

‘dancing to be free’

my feet they’re paying tribute to

the Bobby Marley legacy

 

My knees they’ve got some cuts and bruises

from skating all my days

when i’m skating with my friends

my troubles drift away

 

I say my legs they’re wearing baggy pants

I like to move around

cos getting down and jumping up

these are some good things that I found

 

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa

boom shak the empire be rising

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa

boom shak we making some lovin

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa

boom shak the greedy men running

Aeehhhiiiaaaaa

boom shak got two shoes for dancin

 

My waist it’s got a slinky belt

with a clip that’s quick to open

because loving is the sweetest thing

and from my waist it happen

 

And my stomachs got some tasty food

that’s making me feel good

cos sharing some meals is something

i wish the world could do

 

And my chest it wears a singlet

ah my chest it beating proud

my chest suggest I am a man

that no institution can knock down

And around my neck is superstition

hanging from a chain

because i’ve got my gods but in the end

I make my own way

 

CHORUS

 

My mouth it’s got a great big smile

that shows some great big teeth

to friends it brings a happiness

and to enemies it means defeat

 

And my eyes they’ve got some vision

that can see through many lies

ah my eyes they look for better things

the better things to see in life

 

And my ears are wearing head phones

that do play my favourite songs

not music i’m told to like

but the songs that make me dance along

 

Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing

‘dancing to be free’

my feet they’re paying tribute to

the bobby marley legacy

The Cat Empire ; The Night that Never End

 

One night when I was sleeping

a gypsy lady sneak into my head

and she said

‘I’ve got a bottle of schnapps

lets get to know each other drinking

a belly full of laughs

and some thoughts that beyond thinking

let’s play a game of those cards my friend

because tonight I’m going to show you

how the night it never never never ends’

 

Morning is

one thousand dreams away

and our expedition

telling us to stay

so stay we will we’ve got that gypsy lady

perched upon our bow

and the empire ship be heading

where the wild ones they are now

oh how the gods look down

and frown at those who never stood said

‘my name is no-one’

then went a little mad

 

And from time to time

she sneaks back inside me and she say

‘lucky sing the secrets that I taught you always’

replied ‘as long as I am living

I never forget

that the sun is never shining and it never set’

so let’s make some fire and smoke and then

we’ll go exploring in the night

that never never never end

 

Morning is

one thousand dreams away

and our expedition

telling us to stay

so stay we will we’ve got that gypsy lady

perched upon our bow

and the empire ship be heading

where the wild ones they are now

oh how the gods look down

and frown at those who never stood said

‘my name is no-one’

then went a little mad

 

I’ve got a tingle in my back

and something sparking in my toes

I get the shivers through my body

when that trumpet blows

and while asleep I am awake

and while awake I am dreaming

before I start to think

I am scheming

to start a party tonight my friends

because tonight I’m going to show you

how the night it never never never ends

how much are tickets and are they sold out and when?

boys Don't Cry-the cure

 

I would say I'm sorry

If I thought that it would change your mind

But I know that this time

I've said too much

Been too unkind

 

I try to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I try and

Laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

 

I would break down at your feet

And beg forgiveness

Plead with you

But I know that

It's too late

And now there's nothing I can do

 

So I try to laugh about it

Cover it all up with lies

I try to

laugh about it

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

 

I would tell you

That I loved you

If I thought that you would stay

But I know that it's no use

That you've already

Gone away

 

Misjudged your limits

Pushed you too far

Took you for granted

I thought that you needed me more

 

Now I would do most anything

To get you back by my side

But I just

Keep on laughing

Hiding the tears in my eyes

'cause boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

Boys don't cry

THRICE

 

"Cold Cash And Colder Hearts"

 

They are sick, they are poor

And they die by the thousands and we look away

They are wolves at the door

And they're not gonna move us or get in our way

 

'Cause we don't have the time

Here at the top of the world

Feeling alright

Here at the top of the world

 

We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold

 

Different god, darker skin

They are just not a burden that we'd like to bear

They are living in "sin"

There are so many reasons for us not to care

 

But I'm feeling alright

Here at the top of the world

Doing just fine

Here at the top of the world

 

We've learned money matters most

So we keep our cards held close

Here at the top of the world

 

We hold our own by keeping our hearts cold

And we've learned what matters most

So we keep our hearts cold

 

They are no one

They are nowhere

They are not our problem

Not worth saving

Nonexistent if we keep our hearts cold

"if he tries anything" by ani difranco

 

i'm invincible

so are you

we do all the things

they say we can't do

we walk around

in the middle of the night

and if it's too far to walk

we just hitch a ride

 

we got rings of dirt

around our necks

we talk like auctioneers

and we bounce like checks

we smell like shit

still, when we walk down the street

all the boys line up

to throw themselves at our feet

 

i say i think he likes you

you say i think he do too

go and get him girl

before he gets you

i'll be watching you

from the wings

i will come to your rescue

if he tries anything

 

it's a long long road

it's a big big world

we are wise wise women

we are giggling girls

we both carry a smile

to show when we're pleased

we both carry a switchblade

in our sleeves

 

tell you one thing

i'm gonna make noise when i go down

for ten square blocks

they're gonna know i died

all the goddesses will come up

to the ripped screen door

and say,

what do you want, dear?

and i'll say,

i want inside

 

i say i think he likes you

you say i think he do too

go and get him girl

before he gets you

i'll be watching you

from the wings

i will come to your rescue

if he tries anything

"willing to fight" by ani difranco

 

the windows of my soul

are made of one way glass

don't bother looking into my eyes

if there's something you want to know,

just ask

i got a dead bolt stroll

where i'm going is clear

i won't wait for you to wonder

i'll just tell you why i'm here

 

'cause i know the biggest crime

is just to throw up your hands

say

this has nothing to do with me

i just want to live as comfortably as i can

you got to look outside your eyes

you got to think outside your brain

you got to walk outside you life

to where the neighborhood changes

 

tell me who is your boogieman

that's who i will be

you don't have to like me for who i am

but we'll see what you're made of

by what you make of me

i think that it's absurd

that you think i

am the derelict daughter

i fight fire with words

words are hotter than flames

words are wetter than water

 

i got friends all over this country

i got friends in other countries too

i got friends i haven't met yet

i got friends i never knew

i got lovers whose eyes

i've only seen at a glance

i got strangers for great grandchildren

i got strangers for ancestors

 

i was a long time coming

i'll be a long time gone

you've got your whole life to do something

and that's not very long

so why don't you give me a call

when you're willing to fight

for what you think is real

for what you think is right

"subdivision" by ani difranco

 

white people are so scared of black people

they bulldoze out to the country

and put up houses on little loop-dee-loop streets

and while america gets its heart cut right out of its chest

the berlin wall still runs down main street

separating east side from west

and nothing is stirring, not even a mouse

in the boarded-up stores and the broken-down houses

so they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps

just to prove they got no manners

no mercy and no sense

 

and i'm wondering what it will take

for my city to rise

first we admit our mistakes

then we open our eyes

the ghosts of old buildings are haunting parking lots

in the city of good neighbors that history forgot

 

i remember the first time i saw someone

lying on the cold street

i thought: i can't just walk past here

this can't just be true

but i learned by example

to just keep moving my feet

it's amazing the things that we all learn to do

 

so we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter

serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water

and the old farm road's a four-lane that leads to the mall

and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall

 

i'm wondering what it will take

for my country to rise

first we admit our mistakes

and then we open our eyes

or nature succumbs to one last dumb decision

and america the beautiful

is just one big subdivision

1979-smashing pumpkins

 

shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time

on a live wire right up off the street

you and i should meet

junebug skipping like a stone

with the headlights pointed at the dawn

we were sure we'd never see an end to it all

and i don't even care to shake these zipper blues

and we don't know

just where our bones will rest

to dust i guess

forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

double cross the vacant and the bored

they're not sure just what we have in the store

morphine city slippin dues down to see

that we don't even care as restless as we are

we feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts

and poured cement, lamented and assured

to the lights and towns below

faster than the speed of sound

faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope

justine never knew the rules,

hung down with the freaks and the ghouls

no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you fake it

to see that we don't care to shake these zipper blues

and we don't know just where our bones will rest

to dust i guess

forgotten and absorbed into the earth below

the street heats the urgency of sound

as you can see there's no one around

Keane-Allemande

 

Allemande, where have you gone?

Did I know anything about you?

Many moons have come and gone

They wane so easily without you

All along I said we'd be sorry...

Sorry, and so we are

 

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind...

Blows you home

Sorry, sorry, and so we are

 

Allemande, your face so long

And all my silly hopes hung on you

 

All along I said we'd be sorry...

Sorry, and so we are

 

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind blows

And ain't that the way, that the way that the wind...

Blows you home

Sorry, sorry, and so we are

Twista feat. faith Evans -Hope

(Coach Carter OST)

 

My favourite rap song,lyrics are great

 

VERSE 1 (Twista)

I wish the way I was living could stop, serving rocks,

Knowing the cops is hot when I’m on the block, And I

Wish my brother woulda made bail,

So I won’t have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail, And I

Wish that my grandmother wasn’t sick,

Or that we would just come up on some stacks and hit a lick, And I (I wish)

Wish my homies wouldn’t have to suffer,

When the streets get the upper hand on us and we lose a brother, And I

Wish I could go deep in a zone,

And lift the spirits of the world with the words with in this song, And I (I wish)

Wish I could teach a soul to fly,

Take away the pain out cha hands and help you hold them high, And I

Wish my homie butch was still alive

And over day it was definately how devil took that ride, And I

wish that God can protect us from the wrongs so that all the soldiers that were sent overseas come home, And uh

We will never break, though they devestate, we shall motivate,

And we gotta pray, all we got is faith.

Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day,

The Lord is gonna help you feel better, so you ain’t gotta cry today.

Sit at the light so long,

And then we gotta move straight forward, cuz we fight so strong,

So when right go wrong,

Just say a little prayer, get ya money man, life goes on

Let’s HOPE!

 

CHORUS (Faith)

Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away,

And be hopeful (hopeful) and he’ll make a way

I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.

Cus we hopeful!

 

VERSE 2 (Twista)

I wish that you could show some love,

Instead of hatin so much when you see some other people commin up (I wish)

I wish I could teach the world to sing,

Watch the music and have ‘em trippin of the joy I bring, (shiit)

I wish that we could hold hands,

Listen instead of dissin lessons from a grown man, And I (I wish)

Wish the families that lack, but got love, get some stacks

Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs, And I

Wish we could keep achieving wonders,

See the vision of the world through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, (you feel me) (I wish)

And I hope all the kids eat,

And don’t nobody in my family see six feet, (ya dig)

I hope them mothers stain’ strong,

You can make it whether you wit him or your mans gone, And I (I wish)

Wish I could give every celly some commissary,

And the po po bring the heat on them priest like they did R. Kelly, And I

Wish that DOC could scream again

And bullets could reverse so Pac and Biggie breath again, (shit) (I wish)

Then one day they could speak again,

I wish that we only saw good news every time we look at CNN,

I wish that we can never get the blues

Wish I can bring back the people that died, Eddy to, (I wish)

I wish that we could walk a path, stay doin the right thing

Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game,

Let’s HOPE

 

CHORUS (Faith)

Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away,

And be hopeful (hopeful) and he’ll make a way

I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.

Cus we hopeful!

 

VERSE 3 (Twista)

Wish the earth wasn’t so apocalyptic,

I try to spread my message to the world the best way I can give it,

We can make it always be optimistic,

If you don’t listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it,

I pray for justice when we go to court,

Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war,

Why can’t we kick it and just get em on,

And in the famous words of Mr. King “Why can’t we all just get along”,

Or we can find a better way to shop and please, And I

Hope we find a better way to cop a keys, And I

Wish everybody would just stop and freeze,

And ask way are we fulfillin these downfalls and these prophecies,

You can be wrong if it’s you doubting,

With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains,

And only the heavenly father can ease the hurt,

Just let it go and keep prayin on your knees in church

And let’s HOPE

 

CHORUS (Faith) X 2

Cuz I’m hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today,

Take this music and use it

Let it take you away,

And be hopeful (hopeful) and he’ll make a way

I know it ain’t easy but that’s okay.

Cus we hopeful!

"marys of the sea" by tori amos

 

Hey I am not in your way

Hey no need to push me again

I know it's your day in the sun

Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

 

"Relax love" he said before he left

"Take those hands away from your eyes

From where I stand you're in my sky"

 

You must go must flee

For they will hunt you down

You and your unborn seed

In all of Gaul is there safety?

 

Les Saint Marie de la Mer

You will dance the ring

Marys of the Sea

The lost bride weeps

Les Saint Marie de la Mer

We will dance your ring

 

Hey there's a new Jerusalem

Hey you built on rock that's on sand

For now you have hijacked the son

Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

 

"Relax love" he said before he left

"Take those hands away from your eyes

From where I stand you're in my sky"

 

I hear a voice and it says

"The red of the red rose is its own

And something no man can divide"

So St. Jermaine hear the prayer of this supplicant

For two scarlet women, Black Madonna

 

Les Saint Marie de la Mer

You will dance the ring

Marys of the Sea

The lost bride weeps

Les Saint Marie de la Mer

We will dance your ring

 

Hey I am not in your way

Hey no need to push me again

I know it's your day in the sun

I know it's your day in the sun

Hey I am not in your way

Hey no need to push me again

I know it's your day in the sun

Last time I checked he came to light the lamp for everyone

"Van Diemen's Land"/U2 (basically just Edge, though :heart: )

 

Hold me now, hold me now

Till this hour has gone around

And I'm gone on the rising tide

For to face Van Diemen's Land

 

It's a bitter pill I swallow here

To be rent from one so dear

We fought for justice and not for gain

But the magistrate sent me away

 

Now kings will rule and the poor will toil

And tear their hands as the tear the soil

But a day will come in the dawning age

When an honest man sees an honest wage

 

Hold me now, hold me now

Till this hour has gone around

And I'm gone on the rising tide

For to face Van Diemen's Land

 

Still the gunman rules and the widows pay

A scarlet coat now a black beret

They thought that that blood and sacrifice

Could out of death bring forth a life

Karma Chameleon

 

Desert loving in your eyes all the way

If I listen to your lies would you say

I'm a man without conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

 

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy

If your colours were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

 

Didn't hear your wicked words every day

And you used to be so sweet I heard you say

That my love was an addiction

When we cling our love is strong

When you go you're gone forever

You string along

You string along

 

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy

If your colours were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

 

Every day is like survival

You're my lover not my rival

Every day is like survival

You're my lover not my rival

 

I'm a man with conviction

I'm a man who doesn't know

How to sell a contradiction

You come and go

You come and go

 

Karma Karma Karma Karma Karma Chameleon

You come and go

You come and go

Loving would be easy

If your colours were like my dream

Red, gold and green

Red, gold and green

Radiohead - Exit Music (For A Film),

 

Wake.. from your sleep

The drying of your tears

Today we escape, we escape

 

Pack.. and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before all hell breaks loose

 

Breathe, keep breathing

Don't lose your nerve

Breathe, keep breathing

I can't do this alone

 

Sing.. us a song

A song to keep us warm

There's such a chill, such a chill

 

You can laugh

A spineless laugh

We hope your rules and wisdom choke you

Now we are one in everlasting peace

 

We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you choke, that you choke

Radiohead - Climbing up the walls

 

I am the key to the lock in your house,

that keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far inside,

you'll only see my reflection

It's always best when the light is off,

I am the pick in the ice

Do not cry out or hit the alarm,

we're friends till we die

 

And either way you turn,

I'll be there,

open up your skull

I'll be there,

climbing up the walls

 

It's always best when the light is off,

it's always better on the outside

Fifteen blows to the back of my head,

fifteen blows to your mind

So tuck the kids in safe tonight,

shut the eyes in the cupboard

So not cry out or hit the alarm,

you'll get the loneliest feeling

 

That either way you turn,

I'll be there,

open up your skull

I'll be there,

climbing up the walls

 

Climb up the walls.

climb up the walls
