The Downfall Ff Us All - A Day To Remember

 

I sold my soul to the open road

I'll live my life alone

You won't find me in the same spot believe me

I could never stop, my life's turned upside down

 

Meet me out past the train tracks I'm leavin' and not coming back

You're right and I was wrong

This town will be the downfall of us all.

Prince and the Revolution - Little Red Corvette

I guess I shoulda known

By the way u parked your car sideways

That it wouldn’t last

 

See you’re the kinda person

That believes in makin’ out once

Love ’em and leave ’em fast

 

I guess I must be dumb

’cuz u had a pocket full of horses

Trojans and some of them used

 

But it was Saturday night

I guess that makes it all right

And u say what have I got 2 lose?

And honey I say

 

Little red corvette

Baby you’re much 2 fast

Little red corvette

U need a love that’s gonna last

 

I guess I shoulda closed my eyes

When u drove me 2 the place

Where your horses run free

 

’cuz I felt a little ill

When I saw all the pictures

Of the jockeys that were there before me

 

Believe it or not

I started to worry

I wondered if I had enough class

 

But it was Saturday night

I guess that makes it all right

And u say, baby, have u got enough gas?

Oh yeah

 

Little red corvette

Baby you’re much 2 fast, yes u r

Little red corvette

U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

 

A body like yours (a body like yours)

Oughta be in jail (oughta be in jail)

’cuz it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene

(’cuz it’s on the verge of bein’ obscene)

 

Move over baby (move over baby)

Gimme the keys (gimme the keys)

I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine

(I’m gonna try 2 tame your little red love machine)

 

Little red corvette

Baby you’re much 2 fast

Little red corvette

U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

 

Little red corvette

Honey u got 2 slow down (got 2 slow down)

Little red corvette

’cuz if u don’t u gonna run your

Little red corvette right in the ground

 

(little red corvette)

Right down 2 the ground (honey u got 2 slow down)

U, u, u got 2 slow down (little red corvette)

You’re movin’ much 2 fast (2 fast)

U need 2 find a love that’s gonna last

 

Girl, u got an ass like I never seen

And the ride...

I say the ride is so smooth

U must be a limousine

 

Baby you’re much 2 fast

Little red corvette

U need a love, u need a love that’s

That’s gonna last

(little red corvette)

U got 2 slow down (u got 2 slow down)

Little red corvette

 

’cuz if u don’t, ’cuz if u don’t,

U gonna run your body right into the ground (right into the ground)

Right into the ground (right into the ground)

Right into the ground (right into the ground)

 

Little red corvette

Popsicle Toes

by Michael Franks

And when God gave out rhythm

He sure was good to you.

You can add, subtract, multiply and divide...

By two.

I know today's your birthday,

And I did not buy no rose.

But I wrote this song instead and I call it,

"Popsicle Toes".

Popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes are always froze.

Popsicle toes.

You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes.

You must have been Miss Pennsylvania

With all this pulchritude.

How come you always load your Pentax

When I'm in the nude?

We oughta have a birthday party,

And you can wear you birthday clothes

We can hit the floor

And go explore those

Popsicle toes.

You got the nicest North America

This sailor ever saw.

I'd like to feel your warm Brazil

And touch your Panama

But Your Tierra del Fuegos

Are nearly always froze.

We gotta see saw

until we unthaw those

Popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes.

Popsicle toes are always froze.

Popsicle toes.

You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes

Mr. Blue

by Michael Franks

We touched like watercolor fawns

In landscapes painted by Cezanne

Like lovers floating painted by Chegall

But you and I were you-I then

We thought the rush would never end

We thought the sky, the sky would never fall

We lived we loved we laughed we cried

We'll never die, and now I think of you

And I change right into Mr Blue

You say your lover buys you lace

I say he's fine, I like his face

I guess you still think love will conquere all

I know, but it's not what you think

I only hope it stays in sync

I only want, I want to wish you well

[Tiger In The Rain]

BASEBALL

by Michael Franks

Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the brave

And land of the free"

You've had twenty wins and one save,

Now you're up against me

How can I keep control of my nerves?

The way you wind-up

When you throw me those curves?

I hear him yell, "strike"

And it's a good call

It's so hard to keep my eyes on the ball

On the baseball

Love is just like baseball

All it is is baseball

Love is just like baseball

You have played with me like a pawn

For most of the night

How'd you get your uniform on

So perfectly tight?

You strike me out twice

i singled but died

Then you made me pop up

By sneakin' inside

i'm gonna change that sneer to respect

Make your eyes open wide

When you feel connect to the baseball

On the baseball

Love is just like baseball

All it is is baseball

Love is just like baseball

Here i am behind in the night

The count 's 3 and 2

End the game like Beethoven's NINTH

Is what I must do

So now that we're here

Alone in the dark

I'm gonna send this

Right out of the park

If I was you i'd leave it alone

'Cause I'm tearin' round third

Slidin' towards home

Tearin' round third

Slidin' towards home

On the baseball

Love is just like baseball

All it is is baseball

Love is just like baseball

[heidegger]

GRAVITY

 

Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

 

You hold me without touch.

You keep me without chains.

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

 

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.

Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.

 

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.

When I thought that I was strong.

But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.

But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.

You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You're on to me, on to me, and all over...

Something always brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.

Since this song is 10 years old last July 12:\

The Killers - Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can't look it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

‘Cause I just can't look it's killing me

And taking control

Jealousy, turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabies

Choking on your alibis

But it's just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside

I never

I never

I never

I never

If you have to go don't say goodbye.

If you have to go don't you cry.

If you have to go I will get by,

someday I'll follow you,

and see you at the other side.

TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT

Michael Franks

Love, when we touch I shiver

Just body language can you blame it

My love?s like a raging river

And I think you?re the one to tame it

You

You?re the quiet shy type

You always whisper, never shout it

Ooh

Baby you are my type

Why don?t you tell me all about it?

I got ways to make you

Make you tell me all about it

That?s what I?m gonna do

Make you tell me all about it

Making love till you do

Till you tell me all about it

Me

I?m a lousy loner

Just call my number come be near me

Me

I?m a soulful moaner

Stay chez moi so you can hear me

You

You?re the quiet shy type

You always whisper never shout it

Ooh

Baby you are my type

Why don?t you tell me all about it?

I got ways to make you

Make you tell me all about it

That?s what I?m gonna do

Make you tell me all about it

Making love till you do

Till you tell me all about it

EGGPLANT

Michael Franks

Whenever I explore the land of Yen

I always take one on the chin

And now this lioness has almost made me tame.

I can't pronounce her name but Eggplant is her game.

The lady sticks to me like white on rice.

She never cooks the same way twice.

Maybe it's the mushrooms. Maybe the tomatoes.

I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,

She don't read no book.

She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,

Bout 19 different ways.

Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

-break-

Maybe its the way she grates her cheese,

Or just the freckles on her knees.

Maybe its the scallions. Maybe she's Italian.

I can't reveal her name but Eggplant is her game.

When my baby cooks her Eggplant,

She don't read no book.

She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look.

And my baby cooks her Eggplant,

Bout 19 different ways.

Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.

Love has locked us up, peaches,

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">

Locked inside this zoo,

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">

Gonna jump up and stumble and eat all the jungle

<br style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">

Until i've had my fill.

Then you'll know the truth, peaches,

Happy Ever After

Julia Fordham

Don't ask me why I'm running out of laughter,

There's tears in these eyes, not happy ever after,

And I thought it was plain to see,

And I thought the whole world could be,

And I thought we'd be happy ever after.

If We Ever Meet Again - Timbaland ft. Katy Perry

 

What's somebody like you, doin in a place like this?

Say, did you come alone, or did you bring all your friends?

Say, what's your name, what you drinking

I think I know what you're thinking

Baby what's your sign, tell me yours I'll tell you mine

Say, what's somebody like you doing in a place like this?

 

I'll never be the same - if we ever meet again

Won't let you get away - said if we ever meet again

This free fall's, got me so

Kiss me all night don't ever let me go

I'll never be the same

If we ever meet again

Say if we ever meet again...

An Invitation - Urbandub

 

Meet me after dark

We'll go against the weather

We'll fight, well they can't decide for us

Their minds are cynical

Their ordinary eyes can't see through it all.

They can't see through it all.

 

Don't be afraid cause I'm here

Meet me halfway, I got you now

I got you now.

 

Cause when we go just so you know

I'll be right here to carry you

Erase the traces

Restart everything, everything new

With wounds to mend

Hearts break but it can rebuild again.

 

It's safe to let go I'm right here with you

It's your trust that I need to believe

That I'm not in this thing alone.

 

Would you run away with me if it's tonight?

Leave everything behind

Come on, come on.

Leave with me.

 

I got you now.

Isang umaga muling aahon

Kailan ang huling unos

Di alam kung tatakbo

O kusang lalayo sa'yo

Bury me in the sand..

Walk me across the water..

Dream Theater - Hollow years

[nakadashi]

Barely conscious in the door where you stand

Your eyes are fighting sleep as your mouth makes your demands

You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute

I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do

And your hair smells of smoke

Who will cast the first stone?

You can sin or spend the night all alone

 

I will lie awake

And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you

Let you fall for every empty word I say...

Local Boy In The Photograph

Stereophonics

 

There's no mistake, I smell that smell

It's that time of year again, I can taste the air

The clocks go back, railway track

Something blocks the line again

And the train runs late for the first time

 

A pebble beach, we're underneath, a pier that's just been painted red

Where I heard the news for the first time

 

And all the friends lay down the flowers

Sit on the banks and drink for hours

Talk of the way they saw him last

Local boy in the photograph

Today

i am everything you want

i am everything you need

i am everything inside of you

that you wish you could be

i say all the right things

at exactly the right time

but i mean nothing to you

and i don't know why..

 

everything you want

vertical horizon

[D-L]

you may go,

but i know you won't leave..

too many years,

built in to memories..
