U2 - *It's a* Beautiful Day *in America!*  (God bless us all!)  

The heart is abloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was *is* a beautiful day

In the light of day - Steve Winwood

Had a dream last night, the angels had come riding
In the light of day where there was no more hiding
All so fine, I still see them shine
I saw angels play right in the light of day

And I watched them fly across a fiery sky
And I heard their cry as they passed me by
I could feel the light inside me, I could feel it everywhere
Life was clear and fair

Woke up in the dark and tried to keep believing
In the light I saw, in time of constant grieving
Vision fair, please don't disappear
And please hear my prayer there in the light of day

When I look within I see them shine again
As the darkness ends and the light begins
I can feel the light inside me, I can feel it everywhere
They are all still there

On the street tonight the innocent are dying
And the world's not right, so many millions crying
Evil lives and hate never gives, hell is never far
And is this all we are?

Oh, Lord, hear us cry, up in the fiery sky
That our souls may fly to you when we die
Help us feel the light inside us, help us feel it everywhere
Oh, Lord, be there

Natures law - Embrace

I tried to fight the feeling, the feeling took me down
i struggle and i lost the day you knocked me out
now everything's got meaning, the meanings bring me down
i'm watching as a screening of my life plays out

every day i fight these feelings
for your sake i will hide the real thing
you can run all your life, all mine i will chase

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
you should never fight your feelings
you have to follow natures law

i'll live with never knowing, if knowings gonna change
i'll stop a feeling growing, i will stay away
like a broken record, stuck before a song
a million beginnings, none of them the one

every day i fight these feelings
for your sake i will hide the real thing
you can run all your life, all mine i will chase

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
you should never fight your feelings
you have to follow natures law

i wrote her letters and tried to send them
in a bottle i place my hope
an s.o.s full of good intentions sinking
will you give it to me, don't make me wait
you built me up, knocked me down
but i will stand my ground
and guard this light that i've found

you should never fight your feelings
when your very bones believe them
if you let them show, you'll keep them
i know your hurt but soon you'll rise again, again, again

EMBRACE!

"Thank God You Were Mean To Me"

Look at me now I'm not living in doubt, I'm not living alone, no no I can do better.
I'm living my life with a girl your despise cause she's taller, she's fitter, she's (bleep) and she's (bleep).

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

give you up. give you up
give you up, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, give you up
never gonna give
never gonna give, five you up

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Yellow Brick Road - Raine Maida

I remember the days when we talked for hours
And we were young, we thought we had superpowers
We kissed the sky, expanded our minds, thought we could fly
We were dreamers and we'd never die
We were young punks but we showed potential
Us against the world, we weren't sentimental
We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
And we weren't taking anybody's shit

If I knew now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Know now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Come on, come on rise up
Come on, come on rise up
Come on, come on rise

The winters were cold but we had your parents' basement
This underground was for sinners and we embraced it
Magic pills, fairy tales, Syd Barrett's ghost
Oh we'd all get on that spaceship
We measured our lives in coffee spoons
And those Friday nights quickly turned into Sunday afternoons
We weren't our money, our muscles or our regrets
We were having a mere life experience

If I knew now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Know now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

I remember the days when we talked for hours
And we were young, we thought we had superpowers
We weren't our problems, our age or our paychecks
And we weren't taking anybody's ***

If I knew now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Know now what I knew then
I'd back up do it all again
I'd take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road
Take a bow, take it real slow
Take a ride down the yellow brick road

Come on, come on rise up
Come on, come on rise up
Come on, come on rise

 Something I needed to hear tonight - simplistic, but strong lyrics:

John Legend -  "If You're Out There"

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late

We've been looking for a song to sing
Searched for a melody
Searched for someone to lead
We've been looking for the world to change
If you feel the same
Then go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

No more broken promises
No more call to war
Unless it's love and peace that we're really fighting for
We can destroy hunger
We can conquer hate
Put down the arms and raise your voice
We're joining hands today

Oh I was looking for a song to sing
I searched for a leader
But the leader was me
We were looking for the world to change
We can be heroes
Just go on and say

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now
Now, now

Oh now, now

If you're ready we can shake the world
Believe again
It starts within
We don't have to wait for destiny
We should be the change that we want to see

If you're out there
Ooooh
If you're out there
And you're ready now
Say it loud
Scream it out

If you're out there
Sing along with me
If you're out there
I'm dying to believe that you're out there
Stand up and say it loud
If you're out there
Tomorrow's starting now

If you're out there
If you're out there
If you're out there

If you hear this message, wherever you stand
I'm calling every woman, calling every man
We're the generation
We can't afford to wait
The future started yesterday and we're already late 

 
You Know What I Mean -  Phil Collins
Just as I thought I'd made it
You walk back into my life
Just like you never left

Just as I'd learned to be lonely
You call up to tell me
You're not sure if you're ready
Oh but ready or not, you'll take
what you've got and leave

Leave me alone with my heart
I'm putting the pieces back together again
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
I can do without you, know what I mean...

I wish I could write a love song,
To show you the way I feel
Seems you don't like to listen
Oh but like it or not, take what you've got and you leave

Leave me alone with my heart
It's broken in two and I'm not, I'm not thinking too straight
Just leave, leave me alone with my dreams
You've taken everything else, you know what I mean

 Donovan - Catch The Wind

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

The Cars-Drive(One of my favourites EVER.It means so much to me)

Who's gonna tell you when it's too late?

Who's gonna tell you things aren't so great?  

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong.

Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna pick you up when you call?

Who's gonna hang it up when you call?

Who's gonna pay attention to your dreams?

And who's gonna plug their ears when you scream?

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong.

Who's gonna drive you home tonight?

Who's gonna hold you down when you shake?

Who's gonna come around when you break?

You can't go on thinking nothing's wrong.

Who's gonna drive you home tonight?(x2)...

What If I'm Right - Sandi Thom

You'll take me on a journey
And be there till the end
It won't be an uphill struggle
On you I can depend

You promised me a dream home
With roses round the door
You'll cover me in diamonds
There's nothing I want more
And
You'll be strong
And you'll turn me on
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true and be faithful too
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?

'cos if the rain starts falling
You'll protect me with your coat
And you'll always tape the football
And let me watch my soap

You'll always be as handsome
And your weight will never gain
And when I give birth to our children
I will feel no pain
And
You'll bring me flowers
And you'll bring the showers
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll say I'm thin and bring the washing in
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?

You'll always keep the magic
The tender love and care
And when you need to change the light bulb
You wont hand me the chair
And when we're tired of the city
And we find a country home
You'll sell your vinyl records
And go get us a loan

You'll be my sympathetic lover
And won't steal the covers
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You won't forsake me
Your mother won't hate me
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be strong
And you'll turn me on
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true
And be faithful too
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right?

 How come u were shocked wen i posted some Embrace lyrics up

You're so close - Peter Murphy 

(say...you) 

I can hear the groove
I can hear the words
I can climb the scale
I can ride the curvess
I can hit the note
I can beat the beat
I can dance the jump
I can tap my feet
Say you!

Getting closer
Stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now
Wanna phone you

Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is
what it takes
It could be slick
It could be fake

Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is
what it takes
It could be slick
It could be fake
Say you!

Can't hear you
You're so close
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now
Wanna phone you
Say you!

I can hear the groove
I can spell the words
I can climb the scale
I can ride the curves
I can hit the note
I can drop the beat
I can dance and jump
I can tap the feet
Can't play it very well
But it is what I want
And what I want is
what it takes
I could be slick
It could be fake
Say you!

Can't hear you
You're so close
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Wanna feel a hit
Ah can't write now
Wanna phone you
Getting Closer
Stop me dreaming
Wanna feel you
You're so close
Ah can't write now
Ah wanna feel a hit
Ah can't drive now

Yea, Keane on Ellen!  Enjoyed Tom's bouncing whilst singing and that old school "Members Only" look.

How come u were shocked wen i posted some Embrace lyrics up

It was joy more than anything, I get excited easily

Elton John-Your Song

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
 

Love..such beautiful and meaningful lyrics.  It's like you can relate to his honesty.  The music fits it so well too.   I actually like Keane's cover better than the original.

OneRepublic-Say (All I Need).

Do you know where you heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something,
Somewhere better just to have it?

Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong but nothing
Has turned out as you wanted.

Bless my soul.
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold.

Said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head.

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and your best look
You're praying that you make it.

Well,bless my soul.
You're a lonely soul
Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold.

Said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head.

Well all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head.

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better that you had it?

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it?

Said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head.

Well, all I need 
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head.

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on,go ahead and scream it
Just say it...

No regrets - Midge Ure 

I know you're leaving but it's too long overdue
For far too long, I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye, dry eyes, I've watched your 'plane fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone

There's no regrets
No tears goodbye
I don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone

There's no regrets
No tears goodbye
I don't want you back
We'd only cry again
Say goodbye again

The Cure - Other Voices 

Whisper your name in an empty room
You brush past my skin
As soft as fur
Taking hold
I taste your scent
Distant noises
Other voices
Pounding in my broken head
Commit the sin
Commit yourself
And all the other voices said
Change your mind
You're always wrong
Always wrong

Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
But I live with desertion
And eight million people
Distant noises
Of other voices
Pulsing in my swinging arms
Caress the sound
So many dead
And all the other voices sing
Change your mind
You're always wrong
