Paul McCartney - Freedom

This is my right
A right given by God
To live a free life
To live in freedom

Talkin' about freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Anyone tries to take it away
They'll have to answer
'Cause this is my right

I'm talkin' about freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Everybody talkin' 'bout freedom
We're talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
Talkin' 'bout freedom
I will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
I'm talkin' 'bout freedom
We will fight
For the right
To live in freedom

Let It Be - Lennon/McCartney

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Lyrics to Bring On The Wonder  -  Susan Enan

I can't see the stars anymore living here
Lets go to the hills where the outlines are clear

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Lets go to the beach, get the sand through our feet

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long

I dont have the time for a drink from the cup
Let's rest for a while 'til our souls catch us up

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

Bring on the wonder
We got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on

Bring on the wonder
Bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

 (thanks Diamond Di)

GO OR GO AHEAD - (Rufus Wainwright) 

Thank you for this bitter knowledge
Guardian angels who left me stranded
It was worth it, feeling abandoned
Makes one hardened but what has happened to love

Got me writing lyrics on postcards
Then in the evenings looking at stars
But the brightest of the planets is Mars
What has happened to love

So I will opt for the big white limo
Vanity fairgrounds and rebel angels
Can't be trusted with feathers so hollow
Heaven's invention, steel eyed vampires of love
You see over me, I'll never know
What you've shown to other eyes

Go or go ahead and surprise me
Say you've lead the way to a mirage
Go or go ahead and just try me

Nowhere's now here smelling of junipers
Fell off the hay bales, I'm over the rainbows
But oh Medusa kiss me and crucify
This unholy notion of the mythic powers of love
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Forget about the ones that are crying

Go or go ahead (x3)
And surprise me
Go or go ahead (x3)
And just try me

Jeff Buckley - Forget Her

while this town is busy sleeping
all the noise has died away
i walk the streets to stop my weeping
‘cause she'll never change her ways

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart feels so still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
oh i think i've forgotten her now

her love is a rose pale and dying
dropping her petals and men unknown
all full of wine the world before her
was sober with no place to go

don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
my heart is frozen still
cause i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's somewhere out there now


oh my tears are falling down as i try to forget
her love was a joke from the day that we met
all of the words all of the men
all of my pain when i think back to when
remember her hair as it shone in the sun
the smell of the bed when i knew what she'd done
tell yourself over and over you wont ever need her again

But don't fool yourself
she was heartache from the moment that you met her
oh my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget her somehow
she's out there somewhere now

oh she was heartache from the day that i first met her
my heart is frozen still
as i try to find the will to forget you somehow
cause i know you're somewhere out there right now

 I think I've got a new favorite.. the lyrics are simple, but deafening...

Athlete- "Trading Air" 

I know we need to talk
but I can't catch my thoughts
Insides gripped scared of what you'll think
Words I cant repeat
could change all we've got

Set it off
someone better hit the alarm
Set it off
someone better help me disarm myself
I dont want no one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Trading air once more from the start
I can open up a thousand paper cuts
People hear what they want to hear
but they wont change a thing
no they wont change a thing

Set it off
someone better hit the alarm
Set it off
someone better help me disarm myself
I dont want no one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Disarm myself
I dont want no one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Disarm myself
I dont want no one else
All I want is you
All I want is you

Geraldine - Glasvegas 

When your sparkle evades your soul
I`ll be at your side to console
When your standing on the window ledge
I`ll talk you back, back from the edge
I will turn, I will turn your tide
Be your shepard and your guide
When your lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk you home safe and sound

When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know thats just the prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will turn, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I will be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker


I see you need me 
I know you do.

Amazing song.

Epic track Bethany, I met Geraldine she sells Glasvegas's merch!

Just read someone saying that on Songmeanings.net - she sounds like an incredible peron. She must have been pretty chuffed to have such an amazing song written about her, but from the sounds of it, she certainly deserves it.

Yeh she is the reason James is here, she was his saviour great story behind this band

Really? Wow, I love stories like that. Is there anywhere where I can read more about it?

GIRL AFRAID - The Smiths


Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay ?

Or does he even have any ?

She says :

"He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
In the room downstairs
He sat and stared
I'll never make that
mistake again !"

I'll never make that mistake again
I'll never make that mistake again

Boy afraid
Prudence never pays

And everything she wants costs money

"But she doesn't even LIKE me !
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that
mistake again !"

Another Minute Standing Still - The Secret Machines

I'm staring at the oldest light
But it won't burn out tonight
I'm looking through the coldest air
Rolling past a lock of waves
Inside a starry cage

I read about the ashes too
And what the wind had done to you
You're thinking of your newest thrill
You say you never but you know you will
You won't rest until

Is this the kind of love
You could be proud of?
I wonder why it seems
Such a far away place
A story that won't come true
Remembering dreams to you
But is that all we have
To look forward too?

I'm lying in a shuttered room
Held inside a bitter heart
Being pulled a million ways
But I won't be pulled apart
Maybe just at the seams

We've spend at least a thousand years
But we've still not found it here
Another minute standing still
You say you'll leave and I'm sure you will
You won't let me rest until
You've found the kind of love
You could be proud of
I wonder why it seems
Such a far away place
A story that won't come true
Remembering dreams to you
But is that all we have
To look forward too?

Afraid - Yellowcard 

Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can't remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
I remember

How I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

Now there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember

I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...

I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid

I look for you
But I can't see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don't look for me
Cause you will never say
You won't hear me
You won't hear me

Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?

I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can't be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You'll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
You are so afraid

The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon (kudos to the "Jet Man")  

I pictured a rainbow
you held it in your hands
I had flashes
but you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
while you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon
you were there in the turnstiles
with the wind at your heels
you strut for the stars
and you know how it feels
to get too high
too far
too soon
you saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon
I spoke about wings
you just flew
I wondered, I guessed and I tried
you just knew
I sighed
...but you swooned!
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon
with a torch in your pocket
and the wind at your heels
you climbed on the ladder
and you know how it feels
to get too high
too far, too soon
you saw the whole of the moon
the whole of the moon!
Unicorns and cannonballs
palaces and piers
trumpets, towers and tenements
wide oceans full of tears
flags, rags, ferryboats
scimitars and scarves
every precious dream and vision
underneath the stars
you climbed on the ladder
with the wind in your sails
you came like comet
blazing your trail
too high, too far, too soon
you saw the whole of the moon

SECRET JOURNEY - The Police 

Upon a secret journey
I met a holy man
His blindness was his wisdom
I'm such a lonely man
And as the world was turning
It rolled itself in pain
This does not seem to touch you
He pointed to the rain
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey

You will find the love you miss
And on the days that followed
I listened to his words
I strained to understand him
I chased his thoughts like birds
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
And when you've made your secret journey
You will find the love you miss
You will see light in the darkness
You will make some sense of this
You will see joy in this sadness
You will find this love you miss
And when you've made your secret journey
You will be a holy man
(repeat to fade)

mirror mirror, nice to "see" you again.  Jennifer

Keane - Bedshaped (best encore song ever, in Hotlanta *chills*)

Many's the time I ran with you down
The rainy roads of our old town
Many the lives we lived in each day
And buried altogether
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do

Don't laugh at me
Don't look away

You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
You'll knock on my door
And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

And up we'll go
In white light
I don't think so
But what do I know?
What do I know?
I know!

Don't Be Shy - Cat Stevens 

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by

You know love is better than a song
Love is where all of us belong
So don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
You're there

Don't be shy just let your feelings roll on by
Don't wear fear or nobody will know you're there
Just lift your head, and let your feelings out instead
And don't be shy, just let your feeling roll on by
On by, on by, on by, on by, ...

It doesn't have to be this way - The Blow monkeys

It doesn't have to be this way just counting the hours

It doesn't have to hurt that way just calming the pain

there's no hope for the hungry child whose joker is wild
and it'll take all hope away and I just can't seem to say so my mind's ok
and I'm just above and I laugh from the sunshine

Hey what did I hear you say you know it doesn't have to be that way
