Sting - Tomorrow We'll See


The streets are wet
The lights have yet
To shed their tawdry luster on the scene
My skirt's too short
My tights have run
These new heels are killing me

My second pack of cigarettes
It's a slow night, but there's time yet
Here comes john from his other life
He may be driving to his wife
But he'll slow down take a look
I've learned to read them just like books
And it's already half past ten
But they'll be back again

Headlights in the rainy street
I check, make sure it's not the heat
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand
He stops and seems to understand
The small transaction we must make
I tell him that my heart will break
If he's not a generous man
I step into his van

They say the first is the hardest trick
And after that it's just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time
Being pretty's my only crime
You ask what future do I see
I say it's really up to me
I don't need forgiving
I'm just making a living

Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow we'll see

A friend of mine, he wound up dead
His dress is stained the color red
The next of kin, no fixed abode
Another victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day
He was home by Thanksgiving
But not with the living

Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances

I know it's just not in my plan
For someone to care who I am

I'm walking the streets for money
It's the business of love, "hey honey,"
C'mon, don't leave me lonely, don't leave me sad
It'll be the sweetest five minutes you ever have

Don't judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Don't judge me
One more night I'll just have to take my chances
And tomorrow we'll see

Carrickfergus

I wish I was in carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea.
I would swim over the deepest ocean
For my love to be with me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over, my love and i.
I wish I was in the land of arak,
Where the mountains reach the sea.
Where flowers blossom as I do remember.
Where my true love came to me.
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over.
Nor have I the wings to fly.
Ahh to be back now in carrickfergus
To be together .. my love and i.
To be together .. my love and i.
I wish I was in carrickfergus,
To be together my love and i.
I wish I was back home again.

Katie Melua - Spider's Web




If a black man is racist, is it okay?
If it's the white man's racism that made him that way,
Because the bully's the victim they say,
By some sense they're all the same.

Because the line between,
Wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread,
From a spider's web.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

I could tell you to go to war,
Or I could march for peace and fighting no more,
How do I know which is right,
And I hope he does when he sends you to fight.

Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.

Should we act on a blame?
Or should we chase the moments away?
Should we live?
Should we give?
Remember forever the guns and the feathers in time.
Because the line between wrong and right,
Is the width of a thread from a spider's web,
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind.
The piano keys are black and white,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind,
But they sound like a million colours in your mind

Don't Leave Me Now - Pink Floyd





Don't Leave Me Now

Ooooh Babe,
Don't leave me now.
Don't say it's the end of the road.
Remember the flowers I sent.
I need you, Babe,
To put through the shredder in front of my friends.
Oh Babe,
Don't leave me now.
How could you go?
When you know how I need you,
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night.
Oh Babe,
Don't leave me now.
How can you treat me this way?
Running away.
Oh Babe,
Why are you running away?

Metallica - Orion (Instrumental)



"Orion" is the seventh track from Metallica's 1986 album Master of Puppets. It is an instrumental piece composed by Cliff Burton with help from James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Lars Ulrich.

Some of the guitar and bass solos on this song were taken from the original demo of ""Welcome Home (Sanitarium)."

The title is in reference to the cosmic or space-like sounds heard during the transitional point of the song. "Orion" was the third instrumental Metallica recorded, the first being "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" from Kill 'Em All and the second being "The Call of Ktulu" from Ride the Lightning. Metallica demonstrated their progression as songwriters and musicians by using multiple guitar/bass harmony parts and many stylistic changes throughout both the song and Master of Puppets as a whole[2]. Orion has been covered in live acts by many other bands such as Dream Theater, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Mastodon. Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell played parts of "Orion" in a memorial for Cliff Burton shortly after his death.

The song fades in with a heavily distorted bassline, joined by the drums and guitars about one minute in. The song then jumps into one of its signature riffs with an occasional, highly distorted bass fill. A guitar solo is layered over the original riff. At the 3:59 mark, the signature bass solo is played with a chorus pedal. The song's namesake "spacey" sounds are heard during this point. After several harmonizing guitar solos, carried along by Burton's bass, a complex and heavily distorted bass solo is played, which is a prime example of Burton's lead bass playing style. After the solo, a fast paced guitar riff is played, and the song settles back into one of its original riffs and finally fades out. (Although the liner notes state that the second solo is played by Hetfield and the fourth by Burton, it is clearly the third solo that is played by Burton; the fourth and final solo is played by Hammett).

The album version of the song was played at Cliff Burton's cremation, as it was largely his composition.

This song is widely considered the greatest composition of Cliff Burton's career. It was also one of Burton's favorite songs, second to "Master of Puppets."

Although Metallica has played parts of "Orion" live throughout their history, including opening their supporting set for The Rolling Stones's A Bigger Bang Tour show at SBC Park in San Francisco in November 2005, with the first half of the song, it wasn't until June 3, 2006 during the Escape from the Studio '06 tour at the Rock Am Ring Festival in Nuremburg, Germany that Metallica finally played "Orion" in its entirety. These European shows were also noteworthy for the album Master of Puppets being played all the way through

Allah Knows -Zain Bhikha and Dawud Wharnsby Ali



When you feel all alone in this world
And there’s nobody to count your tears
Just remember no matter where you are
Allah knows
Allah knows.

When you’re carrying a monster load
And you wonder how far you can go
With every step on that road that you take
Allah knows
Allah knows

No matter what inside or out
There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt
Allah knows
Allah knows

And whatever lies in the heavens and the earths
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you find that special someone
Feel your whole life has barely begun
You can walk on the moon, shout it to everyone
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you gaze with love in your eyes
Catch a glimpse of Paradise
And you see your child take a first breath of life
Allah knows
Allah knows

No matter what inside or out
There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt
Allah knows
Allah knows

And whatever lies in the heavens and the earths
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows
Allah knows

When you lose someone close to your heart
See your whole life fall apart
And you try to go on but it seems so hard
Allah knows
Allah knows

See we all have a path to choose
Through the valleys and hills we go
Through the ups and the downs
Never fret never frown
Allah knows
Allah knows

No matter what inside or out
There’s one thing of which there’s no doubt
Allah knows
Allah knows

And whatever lies in the heavens and the earth
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows
Allah knows

x3

Every grain of sand
In every desert land
He knows
Every shade of palm
Every closed hand
He knows
Every smirk and tear
On every eye lash
He knows

Every thought I have
Every word I share
He knows
Allah knows

Open your eyes - Alter Bridge




Looking back I clearly see
What it is that's killing me
Through the eyes of one I know
I see a vision once let go
I had it all

Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can't believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run

It's hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
(its hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go)
Will they open their eyes
and realize we are one
(lost the faith and lost the love when the day is done)

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Creed - What Is Life For




Hurray for a child
That makes it through
If there's any way
Because the answer lies in you
They're laid to rest
Before they know just what to do
Their souls are lost
Because they could never find
What's this life for

I see your soul, it's kind of gray
You see my heart, you look away
You see my wrist, I know your pain
I know your purpose on your plane
Don't say a last prayer
Because you could never find
What's this life for

But they ain't here anymore
Don't have to settle the score
Cause we all live
Under the reign of one king

Dire Straits - Private Investigation



Its a mystery to me
The game commences
For the usual fee
Plus expenses
Confidential information
Its in a diary
This is my investigation
Its not a public inquiry

I go checking out the report
Digging up the dirt
You get to meet all sorts
In the line of work
Treachery and treason
Theres always an excuse for it
And when I find the reason
I still cant get used to it

And what have you got at the end of the day ?
What have you got to take away ?
A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies
Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life
No compensation
Private investigations

The Call of Ktulu - Metallica





One of the the most instrumentals I ever enjoyed. The idea of the song "The Call Of Ktulu" is based upon H.P. Lovecraft's sole book "The Shadow over Innsmouth" which was first introduced to the rest of the band by Cliff Burton. The spark of beeing fascinated by the book began quickly spreading over the rest of the band. The song's name was taken from one of H.P. Lovecraft's main story featuring Cthulhu "The Call of Cthulhu" which has been written in 1928 for the magazine "Weird Tales". The name "Ktulu" is originally written "Cthulhu" by H.P. Lovecraft.

Keys To The World


You may not know him but sure you will remember his voice he was the lead vocal of the band The Verves and sure you will recognize his voice in Bittersweet Symphony. He is Richard Ashcroft one of my best singers I like to listen to and try always to find his new works. It is really nice to feel the power of music and the words in his songs full of meanings and passion. If you never heard any thing for him here is Keys to the world talking about how mixed worlds we are living in and I'm sure you will run after all his songs.
Institutions, you run through them
Oh from the age of five
And no one loves you,
Cares if you lived or you died
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
the sinking sands fell through the net
no one to catch them
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
the sinking sands
perhaps I could make it better
I've got the keys the world yea
Oh mixed up world
I've got the keys the world yea
Oh suicidal world
Whatcha gonna do when we get them?
(When we get them) ?
Confrontations, you expect them
Oh from someone you never loved
And there's no point in fighting,
The truth is they'll never return
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
the sinking sands, you fell through the net
no one to catch you
Here we go again
In your room your idle pleasures
the sinking sands
perhaps I could make it better
I've got the keys the world yea
Oh mixed up world
I've got the keys the world yea
Whatcha gonna do when we get them?
I've got the keys the world yea
Oh suicidal world
Whatcha gonna do when we get them?
(...takes my logic, cos of what will be will be,take ya down, let me begin, it's like a slowtrain moving out of your head...)

As Time Goes By




You must remember this,
a kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh,
The fundamental things apply,
as time goes by.

And when two lovers woo,
they still say "I love you,"
on that you can rely,
No matter what the future brings,
as time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs,
never out of date,
Hearts full of passion,
jealousy and hate,
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate,
there's no one can deny.

It's still the same old story,
a fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die,
The world will always welcome lovers,
as time goes by.

Aqualung - Easier To Lie

To bear the weight and push into the sky its easier to lie its easier to lie
And honestly to look you in the eye its easier to lie... easier to lie

To be the one to be the only one someone has to give a lot something has to give a lot
And who am i to give you what you need when I'm learning just learning
Learning how to live and bear the weight...

To fill the space the space you made for me try to be the one you want try to be the one you want
And maybe i could be the one you need if you'd only show me


Show me how to live and how to bear the weight

And push into the sky its easier to lie easier to lie
And do whats right when everything is wrong its easier to run its easier to
Never have to look you in the eye its easier to lie its easier to lie

To bear the weight and push into the sky its easier to lie

Wake me up inside


How can you see into my eyes,

Like open doors ?
Leading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb.
Without a soul. My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back home.


Wake me up inside,
Wake me up inside,
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Bid my blood to run,
Before I come undone,
Save me from the nothing I've become.


Now that I know what I'm without,
You can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real,
Bring me to life.


Wake me up inside,
Wake me up inside,
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Bid my blood to run,
Before I come undone,
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life,
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling,
[Only you] Only you are the life among the dead.

I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems,
Got to open my eyes to everything.


[Don't let me die here]
Bring me to life.


Wake me up inside,
Wake me up inside,
Call my name and save me from the dark.
Bid my blood to run,
Before I come undone,
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life,
[Bring me to life],
Bring me to life.
..............

One More Cup of Coffee


Since Coffee is an essential thing to most people I know and it mean alot to them and to me. And It is not just a hot drink that is taken to keep us awake it have an emotional feeling and sensation to people and reminds people of good memories. And alot of people sang for coffee but this time it is Bob Dylan he didn't sing for it but it had the same emotional effect to him. Bob Dylan is one of the best songwriters you may ever listen to he have a full life time of songs he has been singing since 1961 till 2006 and he is still rocking. I Love This Guy so Enjoy this one with me and my last cup of coffee


Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.
One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.
