Drugs Don't Work ~ Verve

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

And I hope you're thinking of me

As you lay down on your side

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

But I know I'm on a losing streak

'Cause I passed down my old street

And if you wanna show, then just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

All this talk of getting old

It's getting me down my love

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown

This time I'm comin' down

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too

Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead

 

But if you wanna show, just let me know

And I'll sing in your ear again

 

Now the drugs don't work

They just make you worse

But I know I'll see your face again

 

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

Yeah, I know I'll see your face again

 

I'm never going down, I'm never coming down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

I'm never coming down, I'm never going down

No more, no more, no more, no more, no more

 

that song really makes me cry :embarrased:

Straight Outta Compton - Eazy E

 

...straight outta Compton

is a brotha that'll smother yo' mother

and make ya sister think I love her

Dangerous mother*ucker raises hell

And if I ever get caught I make bail

See, I don't give a *uck, that's the problem

I see a mother*uckin cop I don't dodge him

But I'm smart, lay low, creep a while

And when I see a punk pass, I smile

To me it's kinda funny, the attitude showin a nig*a drivin

but don't know where the *uck he's going, just rollin

lookin for the one they call Eazy

But here's a flash, they never seize me

Ruthless! Never seen like a shadow in the dark

except when I unload, see I'll get over the hesitation

and hear the scream of the one who got the last penetration

Give a little gust of wind and I'm jettin

But leave a memory no one'll be forgettin

So what about the bitch who got shot? *uck her!

You think I give a damn about a *itch? I ain't a sucker!

This is the autobiography of the E, and if you ever *uck with me

You'll get taken by a stupid dope brotha who will smother

word to the mother*ucker, straight outta Compton

 

 

Ahhh, tear.

[radi0ed]

mine would have to be Radioheads " Exit Music "

 

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 that 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 :cry: :cry: :cry:

 

 

 

HTTT :sneaky:

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

 

This is our last goodbye

I hate to feel the love between us die

But it's over, just hear this and then I'll go

You gave me more to live for, more than I'll ever know

 

This is our last embrace

Must I dream and always see your face?

Why can't we overcome this wall?

Baby, maybe it's just because I didn't know you at all

 

Kiss me, please kiss me

Kiss me out of desire babe, and not consolation

Oh, you know it makes me so angry

Cos I know that in time

I'll only make you cry

This is our last goodbye

 

Did you say no this can't happen to me?

Did you rush to the phone to call?

Was there a voice unkind

In the back of your mind?

Saying maybe I didn't know him at all

 

The bells out in the church tower chime

Burning clues into this heart of mine

Thinking so hard on her soft eyes

And the memories offer signs that it's over

It's over

 

*thumbs up*

TRAVIS - Why Does It Always Rain On Me Lyrics

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody saying everything's alright

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights

 

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

 

I can't stand myself

I'm being held up by an invisible man

Still life on a shelf when

I got my mind on something else

 

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Why does it always rain on me?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

 

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight

Everybody's saying everything's all right

Still I can't close my eyes

I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of the lights

 

Sunny days

Where have you gone?

I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?

Even when the sun is shining

I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue skies go?

And why is it raining so?

It's so cold

Why does it always rain on me?

Why does it always rain on....

Frank Sinatra - It Was a Very Good Year

 

When I was seventeen

It was a very good year

It was a very good year for small town girls

And soft summer nights

We’d hide from the lights

On the village green

When I was seventeen

 

When I was twenty-one

It was a very good year

It was a very good year for city girls

Who lived up the stair

With all that perfumed hair

And it came undone

When I was twenty-one

 

When I was thirty-five

It was a very good year

It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls

Of independent means

We’d ride in limousines

Their chauffeurs would drive

When I was thirty-five

 

But now the days grow short

I’m in the autumn of the year

And now I think of my life as vintage wine

>from fine old kegs

>from the brim to the dregs

And it poured sweet and clear

It was a very good year

 

It was a mess of good years

[alexis]

Good choices, Maya :D I mean :cry:

 

Here's another sad song from Frank Sinatra:

 

Cycles

 

So I'm down and so I'm out

But so are many others

So I feel like tryin' to hide

My head 'neath these covers

Life is like the seasons

After winter comes the spring

So I'll keep this smile awhile

And see what tomorrow brings

 

I've been told and I believe

That life is meant for livin'

And even when my chips are low

There's still some left for givin'

I've been many places

Maybe not as far as you

So I think I'll stay awhile

And see if some dreams come true

 

There isn't much that I have learned

Through all my foolish years

Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles

First there's laughter, then those tears

 

But I'll keep my head up high

Although I'm kinda tired

My gal just up and left last week

Friday I got fired

You know it's almost funny

But things can't get worse than now

So I'll keep on tryin' to sing

But please, just don't ask me how

[Mojo Pin]

This song isnt really sad but makes me feel really down coz the only girl i really loved doesnt care about me anymore :cry:

 

Coldplay - Shiver

 

So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention, do you?

I know you don't listen to me

'Cos you say you see straight through me, don't you?

 

And on and on

From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care

 

Oh

Did you want me to change?

Well I changed for good

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

I wanted to say

 

Don't you shiver

Shiver

Sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you

 

So you know how much I need ya

But you never even see me, do you?

And is this my final chance of getting you

 

And on and on

From the moment I wake, to the moment I sleep

I'll be there by your side; just you try and stop me

I'll be waiting in line, just to see if you care

 

Oh

Did you want me to change?

Well I changed for good

And I want you to know that you'll always get your way

I wanted to say

 

Don't you shiver

Don't you shiver

Sing it loud and clear

I'll always be waiting for you

 

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you, for you

I will always be waiting

 

And it's you I see but you don't see me

And it's you I hear so loud and so clear

I sing it loud and clear

And I'll always be waiting for you

 

So I look in your direction

But you pay me no attention

And you know how much I need you

But you never even see me

 

:(

[MAFE]

mmhh.. sad song!!! my favorite is

 

My Inmortal

[MrsBerry]

Queen The show must go on

Even finding these lyics makes me cry

 

The Show Must Go On

Words and music by Queen

 

Empty spaces - what are we living for

Abandoned places - I guess we know the score

On and on

Does anybody know what we are looking for

 

Another hero another mindless crime

Behind the curtain in the pantomime

Hold the line

Does anybody want to take it anymore

 

The show must go on

The show must go on

Inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

 

Whatever happens I'll leave it all to chance

Another heartache another failed romance

On and on

Does anybody know what we are living for

I guess I'm learning

I must be warmer now

I'll soon be turning round the corner now

Outside the dawn is breaking

But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free

 

The show must go on

The show must go on - yeah

Ooh inside my heart is breaking

My make-up may be flaking

But my smile still stays on

 

Yeah, oh oh oh

 

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies

Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die

I can fly - my friends

 

The show must go on - yeah

The show must go on

I'll face it with a grin

I'm never giving in

On with the show

 

I'll top the bill

I'll overkill

I have to find the will to carry on

On with the

On with the show

 

The show must go on, go on, go on, go on, ...

 

Lovely song Daryl ! Really sad...

[Skinned Alive]

Oasis - Let's All Make Believe

 

Is anyone here prepared to say

Just what they mean or is it too late

For anyone here to try to do

Just what it take to get through to you?

 

Let's all make believe

We're still friends and we like each other

Let's all make believe

In the end we're gonna need each other

 

Strangle my hope and make me pray

To a God I've never seen but who I betray

To the people who live the afterlife

In a place I'll never be till I'm crucified

 

Let's all make believe

We're still friends and we like each other

Let's all make believe

In the end we'll need each other

 

Let's all make believe

That all mankind's gonna feed our brother

Let's all make believe

That in the end we won't grow old

[Kettercat]

thanks alexis :)

SMASHING PUMPKINS - IN THE ARMS OF SLEEP

 

Sleep will not come to this tired body now

peace will not come to this lonely heart

 

there are some things I'll live without

and I want you to know

that I need you right now

I need you tonite

 

I steal a kiss from her sleeping shadow moves

because I'll always miss her wherever she goes

 

and I'll always need he more than she

could ever need me

I need someone to ease my mind

but sometimes a someone is so hard to find

 

and I'll do anything, to keep her here tonite

and I'd say anything, to make her feel alright

and I'd be anything, to keep her here tonite

because I want you to stay with me

I need you tonite

 

she comes to me like an angel out of time

and I play the role of a prince on his knees

 

and there are some things I'll live without

but I want you to know

that I need you right now

 

suffer my desire.....

suffer my desire for you

Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton) For his little son who died.

 

Would you know my name

[The Noteburg]

I love that one... about the North Ireland Conflict...

 

U2 - Please

 

So you never knew love

Until you crossed the line of grace.

And you never felt wanted

Till you'd someone slap your face.

So you never felt alive

Until you'd almost wasted away.

 

You had to win, you couldn't just pass

The smartest ass at the top of the class

Your flying colours, your family tree

And all your lessons in history.

 

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees.

Please, please, please, please, oh yeah.

 

And you never knew how low you'd stoop

To make that call

And you never knew what was on the ground

Till they made you crawl.

So you never knew that the heaven

You keep you stole.

 

Your Catholic blues, your convent shoes,

Your stick-on tattoos now they're making the news

Your holy war, your northern star

Your sermon on the mount from the boot of your car.

 

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees.

Please, please, please

Leave me out of this, please.

 

So love is hard

And love is tough

But love is not

What you're thinking of.

 

September, streets capsizing

Spilling over down the drains

Shard of glass, splinters like rain

But you could only feel your own pain.

 

October, talk getting nowhere.

November, December; remember

We just started again.

 

Please, please, please

Get up off your knees, yeah.

Please, please, please, please, ah.

 

So love is big

Is bigger than us.

But love is not

What you're thinking of.

It's what lovers deal

It's what lovers steal

You know I've found it

Hard to receive

'Cause you, my love

I could never believe.

[Skinned Alive]

Oasis - Sad Song

 

Sing a sad song in a lonely place

And try to put a word in for me

It's been so long since I found a space

You'd better put in two or three

 

We as people are just walking 'round

Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground

What we don't see, well it can't be real

What we don't touch we cannot feel

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

And we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why

Cos it's all just the same at the end of the day

 

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

At the end of the day

 

If you're needing something I can give

You know I'll help you if I can

If you're honest and you say that you did

You know that I would give you my hand

 

Or a sad song in a lonely place

I'll try to put a word in for you

Need a shoulder? Well, if that's the case

You know there's nothing I wouldn't do

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

And we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why

Cos it's all just the same at the end of the day

 

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

 

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away

At the end of the day

[fifi]

Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely

 

That there that's not me

I go where I please

I walk through walls

And float down the liffey

 

I'm not here

This isn't happening

 

In a little while I'll be gone

The moment's already passed

Yeah, it's gone

 

I'm not here

This isn't happening

 

Strobe lights and blown speakers

Fireworks and hurricanes

 

I'm not here

This isn't happening

[Majson]

I have loads...

 

1. Natalie Merchant - My skin

 

Take a look at my body

Look at my hands

There's so much here that I don't understand

Your face-saving promises

Whispered like prayers

I don't need them

 

Because I've been treated so wrong

I've been treated so long

As if I'm becoming untouchable

Well, contempt loves the silence

It thrives in the dark

With fine winding tendrils

That strangle the heart

They say that promises sweeten the blow

But I don't need them, no

I don't need them

 

I've been treated so wrong

I've been treated so long

As if I'm becoming untouchable

I'm the slow dying flower

In the frost killing hour

Sweet turning sour anduntouchable

 

Oh, I need the darkness

The sweetness

The sadness

The weakness

Oh, I need this

I need a lullaby

A kiss good night

Angel sweet love of my life

Oh, I need this

 

I'm the slow dying flower

In the frost killing hour

Sweet turning sour anduntouchable

Do you remember the way that you touched me before

All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored

Your face-saving promises whispered like prayers

I don't need them

 

Oh, I need the darkness

The sweetness

The sadness

The weakness

Oh, I need this

I need a lullaby

A kiss good night

Angel sweet love of my life

Oh, I need this

 

Well is it dark enough

Can you see me

Do you want me

Can you reach me

Oh, I'm leaving

You better shut your mouth

And hold your breath

And kiss me now

And catch your death

Oh, I mean this

Oh, I mean this

 

Michelle Featherstone - Stay

 

If I build a wall a hundred feet tall

Would that keep you in

If I shackle your feet

So you couldn't leave

Would you try and run

 

If I promise not to fight

Atleast not tonight

would you stay the night

If i wore that little dress

That you like the best

Would you pass my test

 

Would you stay

Would you stay with me

 

If I poured another drink

What would you think

About staying in

If I was sincere

And whispered my fears

would you still be here

 

Would you stay?

Would you stay with me

Would you stay

with me...

 

Ben Folds - Evapourated

 

What I've kept with me

And what I've thrown away

And where the hell I've ended up

On this glary random day

Were the things I've really cared about

Just left along the way

For being too pent up and proud

 

Woke up way too late

Feeling hungover and old

And the sun was shining bright

And I walked barefoot down the road

Started thinking about my old man

Want to get into a car and go anywhere

 

Here I stand, sad and free

I can't cry, I can't see

What I've done

God, what have I done

 

Don't you know I'm numb, man?

I can't feel a thing at all

Now it's all smiles and business these days

I'm indifferent to the loss

I have faith that there's a soul somewhere

That's leading me around

I wonder if she knows

Which way is up and which is down

 

I poured my heart out

I poured my heart out

It evaporated ... see?

 

Blind man at a canyon's edge

Of a panoramic scene

Or maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random

Dangling a string

Or slumped over in a vacant room

Head on a stranger's knee

I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind

 

Barenaked Ladies - War on Drugs

 

She likes to sleep with the radio on

So she can dream of her favorite song

The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

 

She'll never know that she made it up

She had a soul and we ate it up

Thrown away like a paper cup

The music falls

 

The only flaw in her detailed plan

Is where she wins back the love of her man

Everyone knows that he's never coming back

 

He took her heart and she took his name

He couldn't stand taking all the blame

He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked

 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

 

In the dream I refuse to have

She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath

We're left to deal with the aftermath again

 

On behalf of humanity

I will fight for your sanity

How profound such profanity can be

 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

 

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

 

Near where I live there's a viaduct

Where people jump when they're out of luck

Raining down on the cars and trucks below

 

They've put a net there to catch their fall

Like it'll stop anyone at all

What they don't know is when nature calls, you go

 

They say that Jesus and mental health

Are just for those who can help themselves

But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

 

From the very fear that makes you want to die

Is just the same as what keeps you alive

It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth

 

Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves

Of all these demons haunting us

To keep us company

 

Won't it be odd to be happy like we

Always thought we're supposed to feel

But never seem to be

 

Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs

My hands were tied and the phone was bugged

Another died and the world just shrugged it off

 

Peter Gabriel - Here Comes The Flood

 

When the night shows

the signals grow on radios

All the strange things

they come and go, as early warnings

Stranded starfish have no place to hide

still waiting for the swollen Easter tide

There's no point in direction we cannot

even choose a side.

 

I took the old track

the hollow shoulder, across the waters

On the tall cliffs

they were getting older, sons and daughters

The jaded underworld was riding high

Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky

and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain

was warm and soaked the crowd.

 

Lord, here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent

in any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island to survive

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

 

When the flood calls

You have no home, you have no walls

In the thunder crash

You're a thousand minds, within a flash

Don't be afraid to cry at what you see

The actors gone, there's only you and me

And if we break before the dawn, they'll

use up what we used to be.

 

Lord, here comes the flood

We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood

If again the seas are silent

in any still alive

It'll be those who gave their island to survive

Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.

 

that'll do for now...ther'es many more..i like sad songs ok :-p
