On the streets of this town - Steve Forbert





 I'll lock myself away and not face one more day
On the streets of this town
And all I've got to lose is a feelin' called the blues
And a little old frown
I signed your dotted line and did my best at tryin'
Givin' all I could give
And all I've gotten back is this feelin' that I lack
What I'm needing to live
And you say you don't see it
When a grown man starts to cry
You turn your face away
And you walk on by
I found myself a girl who brightened up my world
From December to May
And the ran off with Jim, but I'll defer to him
And his purple beret
'Cause he knows how to wheel and deal and not to feel
When he's knockin' you down
And I know he'll succeed, 'cause that's just what you need
On the streets of this town
And you say you don't see it
When a grown man starts to cry
You turn your face away
And you walk on by, hey yeah
I'll lock myself away and not face one more day
On the streets of this town
And all I've got to lose is a feelin' called the blues
That's been going around
I fit your crazy norm and wore your uniform
Where you told me to go
And got back in return, this here feelin' that I've learned
What the Indians know
And you say you don't see it
When a grown man starts to cry
You turn your face away
And you walk on by, by, by

Everybody loves somebody - Dean Martin



 Everybody loves somebody sometime
 Everybody falls in love somehow
 Something in your kiss just told me
 My sometime is now

 Everybody finds somebody someplace
 There's no telling where love may appear
 Something in my heart keeps sayin'
 My someplace is here

 If I had it in my power
 I'd arrange for every girl to have your charms
 Then every minute, every hour
 Every boy would find what I found in your arms

 Everybody loves somebody sometime
 And although my dream was overdue
 Your love made it well worth waiting
 For someone like you



Holiday - Green Day




 Say, hey!

 Hear the sound of the falling rain
 Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
 The shame
 The ones who died without a name

 Hear the dogs howling out of key
 To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
 And bleed, the company lost the war today

 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
 On holiday

 Hear the drum pounding out of time
 Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)
 To find, the money's on the other side

 Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
 There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
 A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

 I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
 This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
 On holiday

 (Hey!)
 (Say, hey!)

Burning in the skies - Linkin Park



I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
 The blood of innocence burning in the skies
 I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
 And poured it out in an ocean of debris

 Oh

 I'm swimming in the smoke
 Of bridges I have burned
 So don't apologize
 I'm losing what I don't deserve
 What I don't deserve

 We held our breath when the clouds began to form
 But you were lost in the beating of the storm
 But in the end we were meant to be apart
 Like separate chambers of the human heart

 No

 I'm swimming in the smoke
 Of bridges I have burned
 So don't apologize
 I'm losing what I don't deserve

 It's in the blackened bones
 Of bridges I have burned
 So don't apologize
 I'm losing what I don't deserve
 What I don't deserve

 I'm swimming in the smoke
 Of bridges I have burned
 So don't apologize
 I'm losing what I don't deserve

 The blame is mine alone
 For bridges I have burned
 So don't apologize
 I'm losing what I don't deserve

 What I don't deserve
 What I don't deserve
 What I don't deserve
 I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
 The blood of innocence burning in the skies
