    Gone
    Jack Johnson


    Well look at all those fancy clothes
    But these could keep us warm
    Just like those.
    And what about your soul
    Is it cold
    Is it straight from the mold
    And ready to be sold

    And cars and phones and diamond rings
    Bling, bling
    Those are only removable things
    And what about your mind
    Does it shine or
    Are there things that concern you more
    Than your time

    Gone going
    Gone everything
    Gone give a damn
    Gone be the birds when they don?t want to sing
    Gone people
    All awkward with their things
    Gone

    Look at you out to make a deal
    You try to be appealing but you lose your appeal
    And what about those shoes you?re in today
    They?ll do no good
    On the bridges you burnt along the way

    You?re willing to sell anything
    Gone with your herd
    Leave your footprints
    And we?ll shame them with our words

    Gone people
    All careless and consumed
    Gone
    Gone going
    Gone everything
    Gone give a damn
    Gone be the birds if they don?t want to sing
    Gone people
    All awkward with their things
    Gone

    Goodbye
    Jack Johnson


    This is a true story.....

    I think it was a sign
    When your cell
    Phone fell
    Into the toilet
    And then it spelled
    The word
    Goodbye

    Backstage at the shell
    It was nice enough of it to tell
    You farewell
    Before
    It went
    Off to Hell

    Well maybe it will see
    Our two computers
    Down there
    That were stolen
    On New Years Day
    I never really liked them
    Anyway

    Sister Golden Hair - America


    Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
    That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
    I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
    When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

    Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
    And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
    I've been one poor correspondent, and I've been too, too hard to find
    But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

    Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
    Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
    Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

    Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
    And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
    Now I've been one poor correspondent, I've been too, too hard to find
    But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

    Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
    Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
    Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

    Doo wop doo wop ...

    Photograph - Def Leppard


    I'm outta luck, outta love
    Gotta photograph, picture of
    Passion killer, you're too much
    You're the only one I wanna touch

    I see your face every time I dream
    On every page, every magazine
    So wild and free, so far from me
    You're all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what you've done to this rock n' roll clown
    Oh oh, look what you've done

    Photograph
    I don't want your photograph
    I don't need your photograph
    All I've got is a photograph, but it's not enough

    I'd be your lover, if you were there
    Put your hurt on me, if you dare
    Such a woman, you got style
    You make every man feel like a child, oh

    You got some kinda hold on me
    You're all wrapped up in mystery
    So wild and free, so far from me
    You're all I want, my fantasy

    Oh, look what you've done to this rock n' roll clown
    Oh oh, look what you've done, I gotta have you

    Photograph
    I don't want your photograph
    I don't need your photograph
    All I've got is a photograph, you've gone straight to my head

    Oh, look what you've done to this rock n' roll clown
    Oh oh, look what you've done, I gotta have you

    Photograph
    I don't want your photograph
    I don't need your photograph
    All I've got is a photograph, I wanna touch you

    I don't wanna be
    Gavin DeGraw


    I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
    I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
    I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
    Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

    I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
    All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
    I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
    Or who I'm supposed to be
    I don't want to be anything other than me

    I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
    I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
    I'm surrounded by a identity crisis everywhere I turn
    Am I the only one to notice?
    I can't be the only one who's learned

    I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
    All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
    I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
    Or who I'm supposed to be
    I don't want to be anything other than me

    Can I have everyone's attention please
    if you're not like this and that
    You're gonna have to leave
    I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
    My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
    And now I'm telling everybody

    I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
    All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
    I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta to do
    Or who I'm supposed to be
    I don't want to be anything other than me
    I don't want to be
    I don't want to be
    I don't want to be
    I don't want to be anything other than me
    I don't want to be
    I don't want to be
    I don't want to be

    Under the Milky Way
    The Church


    Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
    Sound of their breath fades with the light
    I think about the loveless fascination
    Under the Milky Way tonight

    Lower the curtain down on Memphis
    Lower the curtain down all right
    I got no time for private consultation
    Under the Milky Way tonight

    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find

    And it's something quite peculiar
    Something shimmering and white
    Leads you here despite your destination
    Under the Milky Way tonight

    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find
    Wish I knew what you were looking for
    Might have known what you would find

    Under the Milky way tonight..
    Under the Milky Way tonight...

    Baby why don't we just turn that tv off
    Three hundred fifteen channels of nothing but bad news on
    Well it might be me but the way I see it the whole world has gone crazy
    So baby why don't we just dance

    Guess the little bitty living room aint gonna look like much
    When the lights go down and we move the couch its gonna be more than enough
    For my two left feet and our two hearts beatin' nobody's gonna see us go crazy

    So baby why don't we just dance down the hall maybe straight up the stairs bouncin' off the wall floatin' on air baby why don't we just dance

    Baby why don't you go put your best dress on
    Those high heeled shoes you love to lose as soon as the tunes come on
    On second thought just the way you are is already drivin' me crazy so baby why don't we just dance down the hall maybe straight up the stairs bouncin' off the wall floatin' on air baby why don't we just dance

    Ah cut a rug

    Well it might be me but the way I see it the whole world has gone crazy so baby why don't we just dance Oh baby why don't we just dance.​

    The Pretender - Jackson Browne


    I'm going to rent myself a house
    In the shade of the freeway
    Gonna pack my lunch in the morning
    And go to work each day
    And when the evening rolls around
    I'll go on home and lay my body down
    And when the morning light comes streaming in
    I'll get up and do it again
    Amen
    Say it again
    Amen

    I want to know what became of the changes
    We waited for love to bring
    Were they only the fitful dreams
    Of some greater awakening
    I've been aware of the time going by
    They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
    When the morning light comes streaming in
    You'll get up and do it again
    Amen

    Caught between the longing for love
    And the struggle for the legal tender
    Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
    And the junk man pounds his fender
    Where the veterans dream of the fight
    Fast asleep at the traffic light
    And the children solemnly wait
    For the ice cream vendor
    Out into the cool of the evening
    Strolls the Pretender
    He knows that all his hopes and dreams
    Begin and end there

    Ah the laughter of the lovers
    As they run through the night
    Leaving nothing for the others
    But to choose off and fight
    And tear at the world with all their might
    While the ships bearing their dreams
    Sail out of sight

    I'm gonna find myself a girl
    Who can show me what laughter means
    And we'll fill in the missing colors
    In each other's paint-by-number dreams
    And then we'll put our dark glasses on
    And we'll make love until our strength is gone
    And when the morning light comes streaming in
    We'll get up and do it again
    Get it up again

    I'm gonna be a happy idiot
    And struggle for the legal tender
    Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
    To the heart and the soul of the spender
    And believe in whatever may lie
    In those things that money can buy
    where true love could have been a contender
    Are you there
    Say a prayer for the Pretender.
    Who started out so young and strong
    Only to surrender

    Say a prayer for the pretender
    Are you there for the pretender
    Say a prayer for the pretender
    Are you there for the pretender
    Are you prepared for the pretender

    Your Bright baby blues - Jackson Browne


    I'm sitting down by the highway
    Down by that highway side
    Everybody's going somewhere
    Riding just as fast as they can ride
    I guess they've got a lot to do
    Before they can rest assured
    Their lives are justified
    Pray to God for me baby
    He can let me slide

    'Cause I've been up and down this highway
    Far as my eyes can see
    No matter how fast I run
    I can never seem to get away from me
    No matter where I am
    I can't help feeling I'm just a day away
    From where I want to be
    Now I'm running home baby
    Like a river to the sea

    Baby if you can see me
    Out across this wilderness
    There's just one thing
    I was hoping you might guess
    Baby you can free me
    All in the power of your sweet tenderness

    I can see it in your eyes
    You've got those bright baby blues
    You don't see what you've got to gain
    But you don't like to lose
    You watch yourself from the sidelines
    Like your life is a game you don't mind playing
    To keep yourself amused
    I don't mean to be cruel baby
    But you're looking confused

    Baby if you can hear me
    Turn down your radio
    There's just one thing
    I want you to know
    When you've been near me
    I've felt the love stirring in my soul

    It's so hard to come by
    That feeling of peace
    This friend of mine said
    "Close your eyes, and try a few of these"
    I thought I was flying like a bird
    So far above my sorrow
    But when I looked down
    I was standing on my knees
    Now I need someone to help me
    Someone to help me please

    Baby if you need me
    Like I know I need you
    There's just one thing
    I'll ask you to do
    Take my hand and lead me
    To the hole in your garden wall
    And pull me through

    Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains


    Bury me softly in this womb
    I give this part of me for you
    Sand rains down and here I sit
    Holding rare flowers
    In a tomb... in Bloom

    Down in a hole and I don't know
    if I can be saved
    I sing my heart out decorated
    like a grave
    You don't understand who they
    thought I was supposed to be
    Look at me now a man
    who won't let himself be

    Down in a hole, feelin' so small
    Down in a hole, losin' my soul
    I'd like to fly,
    But my wings have been so denied

    Down in a hole and they've put all
    The stones in their place
    I've eaten the sun so my tongue
    Has been burned of the taste
    I have been guilty
    Of kicking myself in the teeth

    I will speak no more
    Of my feelings beneath

    Down in a hole, feelin' so small
    Down in a hole, losin' my soul
    I'd like to fly but my
    Wings have been so denied

    Bury me softly in this womb
    Oh I want to be inside of you
    I give this part of me for you
    Oh I want to be inside of you
    Sand rains down and here I sit
    Holding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you)
    In a tomb...in bloom
    Oh I want to be inside...

    Down in a hole, feelin' so small
    Down in a hole, losin' my soul
    Down in a hole, feelin' so small
    Down in a hole, outta control
    I'd like to fly but my
    Wings have been so denied

    Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car.
    Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far.
    And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table.

    I told you not to wander 'round in the dark.
    I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park.
    Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to Mabel.

    Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down.
    Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round?
    And you better pick yourself up from the ground
    Before they bring the curtain down,
    Yes, before they bring the curtain down.

    Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you.
    She didn't have the time to wait in the queue.
    She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle.

    Don't you listen to what it's said.
    All the things you try to hide,
    They keep you runnin' hard inside.
    Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...

    too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
    too late to make the change.

    oo, yes, my friend, you're fadin' fast, if you stay here you won't last.
    Before your time has run astray, you've got to try to get away.
    Oh, you got to leave this place before it's...

    too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
    too late to make the change.
    too late, too late to make the change
    too late to make the change

    Yes, it's time to make the change, yes, it's time to rearrange,
    So, my friend, I join the fight for the things you know are right.
    Oh, you got to leave this town before it's...

    too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,
    too late to make the change.
    too late, too late to make the change
    too late, too late, to make the change
    too late to make the change
    too late, before it's too late.

    Yesterday to Tomorrow
    Audioslave


    Beauty is what the eyes behold
    And you burn brighter than most
    I chased you thru the midnight streets
    To be where I could speak freely
    I didn't care what tomorrow held
    I felt the world turning only for us
    Only bliss now for you and me
    Rise up let life's kiss send us reeling

    And unlike the times before
    From yesterday comes tomorrow
    When life comes alive the past moves aside
    No regrets and no remorse

    We have more than everything
    More than man or machine
    More than luck
    More than fiction
    Higher than any religion

    And unlike the times before
    From yesterday comes tomorrow
    When life comes alive the past moves aside
    No regrets and no remorse

    We'll squeeze the blood out of life
    And say goodnight to the silver of old
    Even when wrong we're right
    Far beyond the world of diamonds and gold

    I've come to realize
    Where happiness lies
    I want you to know I know
    And unlike the times before
    When life comes alive the past moves aside
    No regrets no remorse

    Rain Song
    Led Zep


    It is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
    You are the sunlight in my growing - so little warmth I've felt before.
    It isn't hard to feel me glowing - I watched the fire that grew so low.

    It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
    Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
    Ain't so hard to recognize - These things are clear to all from
    time to time.

    Talk Talk - I've felt the coldness of my winter
    I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us...
    But I know that I love you so

    These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
    This is the wonder of devotion - I seek the torch we all must hold.
    This is the mystery of the quotient - Upon us all a little rain must fall...
    It's just a little rain..

    My Friends
    Chili peppers


    My friends are so depressed
    I feel the question of your loneliness
    Confide...'cause I'll be on your side
    You know I will, you know I will

    Ex-girlfriend called me up
    Alone and desperate on the prison phone
    They want to give her seven years
    For being sad

    I love all of you
    Hurt by the cold
    So hard and lonely too
    When you don't know yourself

    My friends are so distressed
    They're standing on the brink of emptiness
    No words I know of to express
    This emptiness

    I love all of you
    Hurt by the cold
    So hard and lonely too
    When you don't know yourself

    Imagine me, taught by tragedy
    Release is peace

    I heard a little girl
    And what she said was something beautiful
    To give your love no matter what
    Is what she said

    I love all of you
    Hurt by the cold
    So hard and lonely too
    When you don't know yourself
