D'You Know What I Mean by Oasis
3am by Matchbox 20
she says baby
she’s got a little bit of something,
(chorus)
she believes that life is made up of all that you’re used to
(chorus)
Bent by Matchbox 20
If I need some other love
Shouldn’t be so complicated
Can you help me I’m bent
You’re breaking me in
If I couldn’t sleep could you sleep
I started out clean but I’m jaded
Start bending me
Start bending me
Shouldn’t be so complicated
Adam's Song by Blink 182
I took my time, I hurried up
I never conquered, rarely came
The world was wide, too late to try
I never thought I'd die alone
You'll close it off, board it up
I never conqeured, rarely came
The world was wide, too late to try
I never conquered, rarely came
The world is wide the time goes by
4am by Our Lady Peace
If I don't make it known that
I walked around my room

Tonight, your faith has come down

Goodnight, the truth has come out

Otherside by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I heard your voice through a photograph
Centuries are what it meant to me
Chorus
Pour my life into a paper cup
Scarlet starlet and she’s in my bed
Chorus
Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Chorus
How long
Scar Tissue by RHCP
With the birds I’ll share
Push me up against the wall
Blood loss in a bathroom stall
With the birds I’ll share
Soft spoken with a broken jaw
With the birds I’ll share
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Name by Goo Goo Dolls
And now we're grown up orphans
and I won't tell noone your name
Think about you all the time

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum
Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The Sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax must be mine
The Fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see
Look into the wall of my minds eye
I think I know. but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
I met my maker I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "listen up man, they don't even know your born"
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah,
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah,
All my people right here right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
So get up off the floor and believe in life
No-ones ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me
she say it’s cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
she’s always worried about things like that
she says it’s all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
and she only sleeps when it’s raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
it’s 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can’t help
but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain’s gonna wash away I believe it
God it’s better than nothing
and in her color portrait world
she believes that she’s got it all
she swears the moon don’t hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when it’s raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days,
and days she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her
doorway
but outside it’s stopped raining
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And If I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I’ll smile again
Just hold me and then
Just hold me and then
I’m so scared that I’ll never
Get put back together
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
It’s never enough
I feel all your pieces
Keep bending me until I’m completely broken in
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again
I never thought, I'd die alone
I laughed the loudest who'd of known?
I traced the cord back to the wall
No wonder it was never pluged in at all
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
I'm too depresed to go on
You'll be sorry when im gone
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldn't wait to get outside
The tour was over we'd survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
Another of six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to all my friends
You'll never step foot in my room again
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
Of apple juice, in the hall
Please tell mom this is not her falt
16 just held such better days
Days when I still felt alive
We couldnt wait to get outside
The tour was over wed survived
I couldn't wait till I got home
To pass the time in my room alone
Tomorrow holds such better days
Days when I can still feel alive
When I can't wait to get outside
The tour was over I've surivied
I cant wait till I get home
To pass the time in my room alone
I walked around my good intentions
and found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
we hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
then a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong
I've loved you all along
just like the sunny days that
we ignore because
we're all dumb & jaded
and I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong
not thinking
just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much
like somebody else
I never thought I would just
bend this way
Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
To money & a TV
Psychics who've never been to mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes
Everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet god
Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from...
Chorus:
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don’t
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on Take it on
The ashtray’s full and I’m spillin’ my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I’ve got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on Take it on
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It’s not my friend I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again
I don’t believe it’s bad
Slit my throat
It’s all I ever
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and
I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin’ all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn’s sweet we call it fall
I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
This lonely view...
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose
tossed along the way
Letters that you never meant to send
Lost or thrown away
That never knew their names
Don't belong to no one
That's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
I won't tell em' your name
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
did you get to be a star
Don't it make you sad to know that life
is more that who we are
You grew up way too fast
and now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
and I won't tell noone your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
I won't tell em' your name
But I don't need the s
If it's lonely where you are
come back down,
and I won't tell em your name
We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
in the year 2000 with...
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you
Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion woe is me
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear. I need you to see.
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
And thinking so much differently.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Never be the same...yeah.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah
There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every breath I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come.
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
something but the past and done?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever.
I just want to start things over.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down.
something but what's past and done.
Pride can stand, a thousand trials,
the strong will never fall
But watching stars with out you,
my soul cried.
Heaving heart is full of pain,
oh, the aching.
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
Touch me deep, pure, and true,
gift to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oh.
What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has led you through it
you do what you have to do ...
I don't know how to let you go
every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
but I have the sense to recognize
to let you go
I don't know how
to let you go
burning hot
burning slow
deep within I'm shaken by the violence
of existing for only you
I do what I have to do
I know I can't be with you
I do what I have to do
and I have sense to recognize but
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
I don't know how to let you go
The rope that's wrapped around me
Is cutting through my skin
And the doubts that have surrounded me
Are finding their way in
I keep it close to me
Like a holy man prays
In my desperate hour
It's better that way
I'll be such a very good friend
Have mercy on my soul
I will never let you know
Where my mind has been
There's no one here they want to hang around
But if they knew If they knew you at all
Then one by one the angels
Angels would fall
I have slept upon your pew
I've dreamed of the divinity
Inside and out of you
I want it more than truth
I can taste it on my breath
I would give my life just for a little death
I'll be just a very good friend
I will not look upon your face
I will not touch upon your grace
Your ecclesiastic skin
I'll come by and see you again
I'll have to be a very good friend
If I whisper they will know
I'll just turn around and go
You will never know my sin
