They Might Be Giants - Marty Beller Mask

I'm steaming up the inside of my Marty Beller mask
'Cause I'm really Whitney Houston on the drums
It's been fifteen long years since I put on the Marty mask
You're the only person that I've ever told

Don't walk away from me, I will always love you
But how will I know trick or treat?
I can see you through the eye holes of my Marty Beller mask
But I'm really Whitney Houston on the drums

I was disenchanted, stardom was so fake
That's when I got back into the drums
Marty was convenient, a vessel for my dream
I knew exactly how to fill his shoes

Don't walk away from me, I will always love you
But how will I know trick or treat?
I can see you through the eye holes of my Marty Beller mask
But I'm really Whitney Houston on the drums

Marty gets the mansion and I get his skins

Don't walk away from me, I will always love you
But how will I know trick or treat?

I am steaming up the inside of my Marty Beller mask
'Cause I'm really Whitney Houston on the drums

Look again, this isn't Marty on the drums
I am really Whitney Houston

Depeche Mode - World Full Of Nothing

Close
Naked
Skin on skin
Tears are falling
Tears of joy
Her first boy
His first girl
Makes a change
In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something

She's lonely
And he says
It's for her only
That he lusts
She doesn't trust him
Nothing is true
But he will do

In a world full of nothing
Though it's not love
It means something

It's easy to slip away
And believe it all

Though it's not love
It means something

Something in the Way - Nirvana

Underneath the bridge,
the tarp has sprung a leak.
And the animals I've trapped
have all become my pets.
And I'm living off of grass
and the drippings from the ceiling.
It's okay to eat fish
'cause they don't have any feelings.

Something in the way. Mmm-mmm.
Something in the way, yeah. Mmm-mmm.

P!nk - Family Portraithttp://youtu.be/hvpQsPKEwbw

Uh, uh, some deep ****, uh, uh

Momma please stop cryin', I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and its tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin' as I sit up in my bed
I told dad you didn't mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, 'bout me and my brother
And this I come home to, this is my shelter
It ain't easy growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be, you'll see
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

Daddy please stop yellin', I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin', 'cause I need you around
My mama she loves you, no matter what she says, it's true
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away
Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be, well I've seen
I don't want love to destroy me like it did my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out? Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave

In our family portrait, we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a step-brother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, act like it goes naturally

In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Mommy I'll do anything)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
Let's play pretend act and like it comes so naturally
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave)
In our family portrait we look pretty happy
(Can we work it out? Can we be a family?)
We look pretty normal, let's go back to that
(I promise I'll be better, Daddy please don't leave)

Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Turn around please
Remember that the night you left you took my shining star?
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Daddy don't leave
Don't leave us here alone

Mom will be nicer
I'll be so much better, I'll tell my brother
Oh, I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better, I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night

Randy Newman - "You've Got a Friend in Me"
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me
Yeah you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles and I got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Avenged Sevenfold - I Won't See You Tonight (Pt. 1 & 2)

Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight

Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved

It's building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight

Sorrow sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and most of all I loved
But I can't see myself that way
Please don't forget me or cry while I'm away

Cry alone, I've gone away
No more nights, no more pain
I've gone alone, took all my strength
But I've made the change,
I won't see you tonight

So far away, I'm gone.
Please don't follow me tonight
And while I'm gone everything will be alright

No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight
No more breath inside
Essence left my heart tonight

..............................................................................................................

Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide...suicide

I just want to die, take away my life
lay by your side, please...

Come back to me, this is unconceivable
Breaking apart the ones you love
Hate runs deep for what you've done to us
Left alone through suicide

Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.

I can see just fine with you in my life,
there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
a nightmare full of sorrow

Nightmare - full of pain
Nightmare - full of pain

I look back and see the twisted road
Best friends and despair took its toll

Take away
Take away
Take away
Take away

Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
all the ones around me, I cared for
and most of all I loved
but I can't see myself that way
please don't forget me
or cry while I'm away

Look at my face you pierce with a blank stare
No dream could prepare a heart for a lifeless friend.
He's gone. Nothing will take back time.
I need him back, but nothing will take back time.

I can see just fine with you in my life,
there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
a nightmare full of sorrow
I can see just fine with you in my life,
there by my side as it starts to fade
I know this can't be right, stuck in a dream
a nightmare full of sorrow

Sorry it's been a few days! Here's my next one:

Blue (Da Ba Dee) - Eiffel 65
Yo listen up here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him,
Inside and outside

Blue his house, with a blue little window
And a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen to

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend, and she is so blue

Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette, it's sitting outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think,
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend, and she is so blue

Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette, it's sitting outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think,
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die
Da ba dee da ba die

Collapse - Rise Against

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
When our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still

When we've lost our will
That's how we'll know
This is not a test. We'll know
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved
And the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave

What more will it take?
For us to know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace

This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise
We've drawn the line
With perfect aim, we stand back and throw
Glass windows break and it's all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that is stays lit


Neutrality means that you don't really care
'Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there
Blind and unaware

That's how we'll know
This is not a test, oh no
This is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace
 
Ashes of the Innocent - Bullet for My Valentine

Ashes of the innocent
The end for you and me
Darkened screams of agony
Are begging, "Set me free!"

Mourning all your loved ones
As their bodies turn to stone
Violence, hate and agony
Are what we've grown to know

Hold me, show me
Bring me to my knees
So as the fire burns and the tables turn
We'll never rest in peace, rest in peace

Ashes of the innocent
Remind me of the past
Taking scars of victory
The time has passed too fast

Singing broken melodies
Like shards of broken glass
Ripping through my reverie
These scars will never last

Hold me, show me
Bring me to my knees
So as the fire burns and the tables turn
We never rest in peace, rest in peace

Hold me, show me
Bring me to my knees
So as the fire burns and the tables turn
We never rest in peace, rest in peace

Ashes of the innocent
The end for you and me
Darkened screams of agony
Are begging, "Set me free!"

Hold me, show me
Bring me to my knees
So as the fire burns and the tables turn
We never rest in peace, rest in peace

Hold me, show me
Bring me to my knees
So as the fire burns and the tables turn
We never rest in peace, rest in peace

Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suit case and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, homes to Bel Air'

I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

Walk Hard - Dewey Cox

Walk hard, hard
Down life's rocky road
Walk bold, hard
That's my creed, my code

I've been scorned and slandered and ridiculed too
Had to struggle everyday my whole life through
Seen my share of the worst that this world can give
But I still got a dream and a burning rage to live

Walk hard, hard
Though they say, "You're all done"
Walk bold, hard
Though they say, "You're not the one"

Even if you've been told time and time again
That you're always gonna lose and you're never gonna win
Gotta keep that vision in your mind's eye
When you're standing on top of a mountain high

You know when I was a boy, folks used to say to me
"Slow down Dewey, don't walk so hard"
And I used to tell them, "Life's a race and I'm in it to win it
And I'll walk as damn hard as I please
How do I walk boys?"

When I meet my maker on my dying day
Gonna look him in the eye, by God I'll say
"I gave my word and my word was good
I took it in the face and I walked as hard as I could"

Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard
Walk hard

Billy Joel - "You're Only Human (Second Wind)"
You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood
It's alright, it's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes
You better believe there will be times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could ever learn at school

Don't forget your second wind
Sooner of later you'll get your second wind

It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again
It's alright, it's alright
Though you feel your heart break
You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache

Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You're not the only one who's made mistakes
But they're the only thing that you can truly call your own

Don't forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on
Till that old second wind comes along

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else
But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself
It's alright, it's alright
Sometimes that's all it takes
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
But I survived all those long lonely days
When it seemed I did not have a friend
Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath and face the world again

Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in

Dreams of an Absolution - Crush 40
Every night I lay awake
I find no conclusion

And every night it stays the same
And I dream of an absolution

In the nightlight do you see what you dream?
All your travels, are they all what they seem?
Look around you, then you may realize
All the preachers all with their lies

And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if we'll be together
Only you know if we shall last

(In the nightlight)

In the nightlight do you still feel your pain?
All the valor you waited never came
If you were able would you go change the past?
To mend a faux pas with one last chance

And I might know of our future
But then you still control the past
Only you know if we'll be together
Tonight

Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
Cause every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
And every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

In the nightlight do you see what you dream?
All your triumph and all you'll ever be
Look around you then you may realize
Happiness lies trapped in misery

And who knows about our future
We can all try to change the past
Only you know if we'll be together tonight

Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
Cause every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
And every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

Cause every night I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
Cause every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

Cause every night I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
And every night it just stays the same and I dream
Of an absolution

And you'll see! (And you'll see)
What you'll be (What you'll be)
And you'll see, yeah (All you can, all you can, oh)
And every night (Every night)
And very night (Every night)
And every night (ry night)
I will dream!

And you'll see! (And you'll see)
That this is my dream (What you'll be)
And you'll see
Every night
I will always dream

Every night (Yeah)
And every night
Every night
I will dream! (Dream)

Tim Minchin - Beauty

Beauty is a harlot
She will dance with any bastard
She's undiscerning in her choice of partner
I could do her of course, if I wished
But I object to her promiscuousness
Beauty just doesn't do it for me.

Beauty is a harlot
An easy lane for lazy artists
I won't be fooled by her vulgar charm
It is the easiest trick in the book
Music's the worm and beauty's the hook
And I'm sure you would swallow her whole
But I'm not here to satisfy souls, for

Beauty is a siren
Trying to draw me from my chosen mission
I won't be tempted by her seductive singing
On principle I refuse, to be party to her abuse
It is not my job to squat in the gutter
Sharing the teet with you beauty drowned suckers
You paid to see satire and rage
I swear I won't let beauty set foot on this stage, for

Beauty is a harlot
A spotlight hungry manipulative starlet
She will toy with your defenceless heart and leave you
Tear streaked when the lights come on
You look around to find her gone
And despite your size, you've not a clue
That as you fell for her, she stole from you, for

Beauty is a harlot
She will lie with any two bit artist
And for all those other bloody bastards
She seems to come so easily
But she comes so hard to me

Common People - Pulp

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me.
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some ***s and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people like you....
