Gary Numan - Cars 

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

Here in my car
I can only receive
I can listen to you *or not, turning up XM*
It keeps me stable for days
In cars


Here in my car
Where the image breaks down
Will you visit me please?
If I open my door
In cars


Here in my car
I know I've started to think
About leaving tonight
Although nothing seems right
In cars

Second Lover - Noah and the Whale

Oh, and when will our heartbeats fall into two lines
And the click-clack of our boot heels beat out the same time
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?
Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?

And though I don't know your real name
Your real age, or your shoe size
I will leave this bedroom chair
And this keyboard behind

And I will love you in reality and dreams
And I will love you in reality and dreams

And though it kills me to know
That when we are through
You go to your real lover
Who'll put real kisses on you

Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do
Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do

And so this lonely, lonely hull
Has no use left for living
After finding her love
In a heart so unpermitting

And I will die and never ever hold your hand
And I will die and never ever hold your hand

But I'll kiss my lips and I'll blow it to you
It'll be the last thing that I ever do
And wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you

Oh, wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you

Wherever you go and whatever you do
There's a man underground that will always love you

My Immortal lyrics

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

^^ Aww Cara, this is a really nice one. I never get tired of singing this and it fits my voice perfectly (not as thin as Amy's, but I can sing this song :) )

Tougher than the test - Bruce Springsteen 

Well It's Saturday night
you're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
maybe you been watching me too
So somebody ran out
left somebody's heart in a mess
Well if you're looking for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a handsome Dan
or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark
and it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
couldn't pass the test
Well if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest

Well it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well there's another dance
all you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
honey I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
baby I'm tougher than the rest

The Eagles - Take It To The Limit  

All alone at the end of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman who might have
Loved me and I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
(spent my life running ’round)
And it’s so hard to change
(can’t seem to settle down)
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money
You can spend all your love making time
If it all fell to pieces tomorrow
Would you still be mine?

And when you’re looking for your freedom
(nobody seems to care)
And you can’t find the door
(can’t find it anywhere)
When there’s nothing to believe in
Still you’re coming back, you’re running back
You’re coming back for more

So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit
Take it to the limit one more time

  Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....!.....!.....!.....!
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.

Cake - The Distance 

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
The fans get up and they get out of town.
The arena is empty except for one man,
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
He's going the distance.

No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
And long ago somebody left with the cup.
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

Cause he's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone
In her time of need.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
He's going the distance.

Fools In Love - Inara George

Fools in love, are there any other kinds of lovers?
Fools in love, is there any other kind of pain?

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love,
your baby love, your baby love, your baby love

Fools in love, are there any creatures more pathetic?
Fools in love, never knowing when they lost the game.

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you see, everything you know now
Everything you do, you do it for your baby love,
your baby love, your baby love, your baby love

Fools in love they think they're heroes,
cos they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeroes
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Fools in love, gently hold each other's hands forever
Fools in love, gently tear each other limb from limb

Everything you do, everywhere you go now
Everything you touch, everything you feel
Everything you do, even rock 'n' roll now
Nothing mean a thing except you and your baby love
your baby love, your baby love, your baby love

Fools in love they think they're heroes
Cos they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeroes
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again

Message to my girl - Split Enz 

I don't want to say "I love you"
That would give away too much.
It's hip to be detached and precious,
the only thing you feel is vicious.

I don't want to say "I want you"
even though I want you so much.
It's wrapped up in conversation,
it's whispered in a hush.

Though I'm frightened by the word,
think it's time I made it heard.

No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
it's more than that.

Now I wake up happy
warm in lovers embrace.
No one else can touch us
while we're in this place.

So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl.

No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
it's more than that.

Though I'm frightened by the word,
think it's time I made it heard.

So I'll sing it to the world
this simple message to my girl.

No more empty self possession,
visions swept under the mat.
It's no New Years resolution,
it's more than that.

Oh there's nothing quite as real
as the touch of your sweet hands.
I can't spend the rest of my life
buried in the sand.

Goodbye is forever - Arcadia  

Sometimes you have no choice
sometimes you've got
no voice to say
say if you will the words--
say if your world is so gray
we can decide this
there'll be no tears--
no tradgedy
Sure I wouldn't break
and cry, if...
you walk away--
believe me

Hey, goodbye
goodbye is--forever
Hey, forever
goodbye is--forever
and ever...

Sometimes it makes no sense,
this side of cruel
coincidence
caught up in our
own barbed wire
to set us free
belive this--

Hey, goodbye
goodbye is--forever
Hey, forever
goodbye is--forever
and ever...

Earth, Wind & Fire - Shining Star 

When you wish upon a star
Dreams will take you very far, yeah
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems, oh yeah
What'd you see, on nights so clear
In the sky, so very dear, yeah

You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
(What you could truly be)

Shining star come into view
To shine its watchful light on you, yeah
Give you strength to carry on, yeah
Make your body big and strong, yeah

Born a man-child of the sun, yeah
Saw the work had just begun
Found I had to stand alone, yeah
Well bless it now I've got my own, oh yeah

So if you find yourself in need
Why don't you listen to these words of heed
Be a giant, or grain of sand
Words of wisdom - "Yes, I can"

You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you can truly be

Shining star, for you to see
What your life can truly be

The lyrics to Elbow's Mirrorball are incredibly beautiful. I feel all mushy and teary-eyed now.

I plant the kind of kiss
That wouldn't wake a baby.
On the self-same face
That wouldn't let me sleep;
And the street is singing with my feet,
And the dawn gives me a shadow I know to be taller.

All down to you, dear.
Everything has changed.

My sorry name
Has made it to graffiti.
I was looking for
Someone to complete me.

Not anymore, dear;
Everything has changed.

When we make the moon our mirrorball,
The street's an empty stage;
The city sirens - violins.
Everything has changed.

So lift off love.
(down to you, dear)
Lift off love.
(down to you, dear)

We took the town to town last night.
We kissed like we invented it!
And now I know what every step is for:
To lead me to your door.

Know that while you sleep,
Everything has changed.

We made the moon our mirror ball.
The street's an empty stage;
The city sirens - violins.
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.
Everything has changed.

Down to you, dear/So lift off love
Down to you, dear/ lift off love
Down to you, dear...

EELS - Things The Grandchildren Should Know (Interesting documentary on PBS with EELS founder Mark Everett.  Regarding his late father, physicist Hugh Everett and his theory of Parallel Universes.  Also, detailing their relationship or rather lack of.) 

I go to bed real early
Everybody thinks it's strange
I get up early in the morning
No matter how disappointed I was with the day before
It feels new
I don't leave the house much
I don't like being around people
Makes me nervous and weird
I don't like going to shows, either
It's better for me to stay home
Some might think it means I hate people
But that's not quite right
I do some stupid things
But my heart's in the right place
And this I know
I got a dog, I take him for a walk
And all the people like to say hello
I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks
I'm learning how to say hello
Without too much trouble
I'm turning out just like my father
Though I swore I never would
Now I can say that I have love for him
I never really understood
What it must have been like for him
Living inside his head
I feel like he's here with me now
Even though he's dead
It's not all good, and it's not all bad
Don't believe everything you read
I'm the only one who knows what it's like
So I thought I'd better tell you
Before I leave
So, in the end I'd like to say
That I'm a very thankful man
I tried to make the most of my situations
And enjoy what I had
I knew true love, and I knew passion
And the difference between the two
I had some regrets
But if I had to do it all again
Well, it's something I'd like to do

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, ...

Mad About You - Sting

A stones's throw from Jerusalem
I walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient songs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?

They say a city in the desert lies
The vanity of an ancient king
But the city lies in broken pieces
Where the wind howls and the vultures sing
These are the works of man
This is the sum of our ambition
It would make a prison of my life
If you became another's wife
With every prison blown to dust
My enemies walk free
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

And I have never in my life
Felt more alone than I do now
Although I claim dominions over all I see
It means nothing to me
There are no victories
In all our histories, without love

A stone's throw from Jerusalem
A walked a lonely mile in the moonlight
And though a million stars were shining
My heart was lost on a distant planet
That whirls around the April moon
Whirling in an arc of sadness
I'm lost without you I'm lost without you
And though you hold the keys to ruin
Of everything I see
With every prison blown to dust,
My enemies walk free
Though all my kingdoms turn to sand
And fall into the sea
I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

You know that I want to - George Michael

Lover don't love too much
It's a bad thing, a sad thing
And it's heaven to the touch
Hey, everybody's got some moment in their life
They can't change (don't they baby?)

I know you don't care what's right or wrong
All that I know
Is that love don't belong here
And so it's better to turn the page
And watch me walk away,
My dear, watch me walk away

But you say

I can't stop but you know that I want to
I can't stop don't you know that I want you
I want you baby (more than ever)

I can't stop but you know that I want to
I can't stop don't you know that I want you
But it's never gonna be that easy, child

Lover don't love too much
I'm a bad boy, I'm a sad boy
And I never give you much
Hey, everybody's got some moment in their life
They can't change

So I do not dare to take you home
All that I know
Is that something's so wrong with this heat
Why do you touch the flame?
You know you feel the pain, my dear
You always find it here

But you say

I can't stop but you know that I want to
I can't stop don't you know that I want you
I want you baby (more that ever)

I can't stop but you know that I want to
I can't stop don't you know that I want you
But it's never gonna

So it happens every time
It's so easy to forgive myself with a little wine
But you want more
And the pleasure will be all mine
Can't you see
Oh, I'm using you, baby

I can't stop but you know that I want to (you say)
I can't stop don't you know that I want you (please don't say)
I want you baby (more that ever)

I can't stop but you know that I want to (you say)
I can't stop don't you know that I want you
But it's never gonna be that easy

You need a lover
And I am just a friend

RETURN TO INNOCENCE - ENIGMA

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion

Love - devotion
Feeling - emotion

Dont be afraid to be weak
Dont be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny

Dont care what people say
Just follow your own way
Dont give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

Thats not the beginning of the end
Thats the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Dont care what people say
Follow just your own way
Follow just your own way
Dont give up, dont give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself dont hide
Just believe in destiny
