Johnny Nash - I Can See Clearly Now

http://youtu.be/NkwJ-g0iJ6w



i can see clearly now, the rain is gone
i can see all obstacles in my way
gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
it's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
sun-shiny day . . .

i think i can make it now, the pain is gone
all of the bad feeling have disappeared
here is that rainbow i've been prayin' for
it's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
sun-shiny day

look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

i can see clearly now, the rain is gone
i can see all obstacles in my way
gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
it's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
sun-shiny day . . .

foo fighters - walk

http://youtu.be/24pImsPhmV8

another great vid:
http://youtu.be/QNT-e8AwmqU



a million miles away
your signal in the distance
to whom it may concern
i think i lost my way
getting good at starting over
every time that i return

i'm learning to walk again
i believe i've waited long enough
where do i begin?
i'm learning to talk again
can't you see i've waited long enough
where do i begin?

do you remember the days
we built these paper mountains
and sat and watched them burn
i think i found my place
can't you feel it growing stronger
little conquerors

i'm learning to walk again
i believe i've waited long enough
where do i begin?
i'm learning to talk again
can't you see i've waited long enough
where do i begin?

now
for the very first time
don't you pay no mind
set me free again

to keep alive a moment at a time
but still inside a whisper to a riot
to sacrifice but knowing to survive
the first to climb another state of mind
i'm on my knees, i'm praying for a sign
forever, whenever
i never wanna die
i never wanna die
i never wanna die
i'm on my knees
i never wanna die
i'm dancing on my grave
i'm running through the fire
forever, whenever
i never wanna die
i never wanna leave
i never say goodbye
forever, whenever, forever, whenever

i'm learning to walk again
i believe i've waited long enough
where do i begin?
i'm learning to talk again
can't you see i've waited long enough
where do i begin?

i'm learning to walk again
i believe i've waited long enough
i'm learning to talk again
can't you see i've waited long enough

here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and i say it's all right

little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and i say it's all right

little darling, the smiles returning to their faces
little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and i say it's all right

sun, sun, sun, here it comes . . .

little darling, i feel that ice is slowly melting
little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
here comes the sun, here comes the sun,

Alice In Chains - What The Hell Have I

http://youtu.be/qKXIk45pL0o



the face before me flies
laughs at me inside
masks are made to hide the glow
shining eyes
distance 'tween us grows
feeding lies

it's hard to start things over
you can feel the fire around us
all the time
yeah

something i should say
it takes you every day
what you give is not alive
today
your soul served on a plate
throw it away

it's hard to start things over
you can feel the fire around us
all the time
yeah

it's hard to start things over
oh yeah
you can feel the fire around us
all the time
yeah

it's hard to start things over
oh yeah
you can feel the fire around us
all the time
yeah

all the time

what the hell have i?

Staind - It's Been Awhile

http://youtu.be/araU0fZj6oQ



it's been awhile
since i could
hold my head up high

and it's been awhile
since i first saw you

and it's been awhile
since i could stand
on my own two feet again

and it's been awhile
since i could call you

and everything i can remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
the consequences that are rendered
i've stretched myself beyond my means

and it's been awhile
since i could say
that i wasn't addicted and

it's been awhile
since i could say
i loved myself as well and

it's been awhile
since i've gone
and fucked things up
just like i always do

and it's been awhile
but all that shit seems to
disappear when i'm with you

and everything i can remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
the consequences that i've rendered
i've gone and fucked things up again
again

why must i feel this way?

just make this go away

just one more peaceful day

and it's been awhile
since i could
look at myself straight

and it's been awhile
since i said i'm sorry

and it's been awhile
since i've seen the way
the candles light your face

and it's been awhile
but i can still remember
just the way you taste

and everything i can remember
as fucked up as it all may seem
to be
i know it's me

i cannot blame this on my father
he did the best he could for me

and it's been awhile
since i could
hold my head up high

and it's been a while
since i said i'm sorry . . .

linkin park - what i've done

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMePM9Q-bYk



in this farewell
there's no blood
there's no alibi
'cause i've drawn regret
from the truth
of a thousand lies

so let mercy come
and wash away
what i've done
i'll face myself
to cross out what i've become
erase myself
and let go of what i've done

put to rest
what you thought of me
while i clean the slate
with the hands
of uncertainty

so let mercy come
and wash away
what i've done
i'll face myself
to cross out what i've become
erase myself
and let go of what i've done

for what i've done
i start again
and whatever pain may come
today this ends
and forgiving what i've done

i'll face myself
to cross out what i've become
erase myself
and let go of what i've done
what i've done

forgiving what i've done . . .

toby keith - red solo cup

http://youtu.be/BKZqGJONH68



now, red solo cup is the best receptacle
for barbecues, tailgates, fairs and festivals
and you, sir, do not have a pair of testicles
if you prefer drinkin' from glass

hey, red solo cup is cheap and disposable
and in fourteen years, they are decomposable
and unlike my home, they are not foreclosable
freddy mac can kiss my ass

whoo!

red solo cup
i fill you up
let's have a party
let's have a party

i love you, red solo cup
i lift you up
proceed to party
proceed to party

now, i really love how you're easy to stack
but i really hate how you're easy to crack
'cause when beer runs down in front of my pack
well, that, my friends, is quite yucky

but i have to admit that the ladies get smitten
admirin' how sharply my first name is written
on you with a sharpie when i get to hittin'
on them to help me get lucky

red solo cup
i fill you up
let's have a party
let's have a party

i love you, red solo cup
i lift you up
proceed to party
proceed to party

now, i've seen you in blue and i've seen you in yellow
but only you, red, will do for this fellow
'cause you are the abbot to my costello
and you are the fruit to my loom

red solo cup, you're more than just plastic
you're more than amazing, you're more than fantastic
and believe me that i am not the least bit sarcastic
when i look at you and say

red solo cup, you're not just a cup
(no! no! no! god, no!)
you're my - you're my (friend?) friend
(friend friend friend life-long)
thank you for being my friend

red solo cup
i fill you up
let's have a party
let's have a party

i love you, red solo cup
i lift you up
proceed to party

styx - grand illusion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U2E-In0DDg



welcome to the grand illusion
come on in and see what's happening
pay the price, get your tickets for the show
the stage is set, the band starts playing
suddenly your heart is pounding
wishing secretly you were a star

but don't be fooled by the radio
the tv or the magazines
they show you photographs of how your life should be
but they're just someone else's fantasy
so if you think your life is complete confusion
because you never win the game
just remember that it's a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same
we're all the same . . .

so if you think your life is complete confusion
because your neighbors got it made
just remember that it's a grand illusion
and deep inside we're all the same . . .

we're all the same . . .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCHFiJ9MIB0



i'm having trouble trying to sleep
i'm counting sheep but running out
as time ticks by
and still i try
no rest for crosstops in my mind

on my own . . . here we go

my eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
dried up and bulging out my skull
my mouth is dry
my face is numb
fucked up and spun out in my room

on my own . . . here we go

my mind is set on overdrive
the clock is laughing in my face
a crooked spine
my sense's dulled
passed the point of delerium

on my own . . . here we go

my eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
dried up and bulging out my skull
my mouth is dry
my face is numb
fucked up and spun out in my room

on my own . . . here we go . . .

shinedown - sound of madness

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evIaRUS1RDM


yeah, i get it
you're an outcast
always under attack
always coming in last
bringing up the past
no one owes you anything
i think you need a shotgun blast
a kick in the ass
so paranoid
watch your back!!!

oh my, here we go

another loose cannon gone bi-polar
slipped down, couldn't get much lower
quicksand's got no sense of humor
i'm still laughing like hell
you think that a cryin to me
feeling so sorry that i'm gonna believe
you've been infected by a social disease
well, then take your medicine

i created the sound of madness
wrote the book on pain
somehow i'm still here
to explain
that the darkest hour never comes in the night
you can sleep with a gun
when you gonna wake up and . . . fight . . . for yourself?

i'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
if there's an afterlife
well it'll set you free
but i'm not gonna part the seas
you're a self-fulfilling prophecy
you think that a cryin to me
feeling so sorry that i'm gonna believe
you've been infected by a social disease
well, then take your medicine

i created the sound of madness
wrote the book on pain

Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

http://youtu.be/gp5JCrSXkJY



There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Tellin' me I got to beware

(I think it's time we)
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

There's battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
Gettin' so much resistance from behind

(It's time we)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin songs and carryin' signs
Mostly sayin', "Hooray for our side"

(It's time we)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down?

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

(We better)
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look - what's goin' down? . . .

queensryche - silent lucidity

i am smiling next to you . . .

http://youtu.be/jhat-xUQ6dw



hush now don't you cry
wipe away the teardrop from your eye

you're lying safe in bed
it was all a bad dream
spinning in your head

your mind tricked you to feel the pain
of someone close to you leaving the game
of life

so here it is, another chance
wide awake, you face the day
your dream is over

or has it just begun?

there's a place i like to hide
a doorway that i run through in the night

relax child, you were there
but only didn't realize
and you were scared

it's a place where you will learn
to face your fears, retrace the years
and ride the whims of your mind

commanding in another world
suddenly, you'll hear and see
this magic new dimension

i
will be watching over you
i
am gonna help you see it through
i
will protect you in the night
i
am smiling next to you
in silent lucidity . . .

"visualize your dream (yes)
record it in the present tense (don't be scared)
put it into a permanent form
if you persist in your efforts
you can achieve a dream control
(control)
(how're you doing today?) (better?)

dream come true
dream come true
dream come true

help me . . ."

if you open your mind for me
you won't rely on open eyes to see

the walls you built within
come tumbling down
and a new world will begin

living twice at once you learn
you're safe from pain in the dream domain
a soul set free to fly

a round trip journey in your head
master of illusion, can you realize?
your dream's alive, you can be the guide but . . .

i
will be watching over you
i
am gonna help you see it through
i
will protect you in the night
i
am smiling next to you . . .

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage / Eclipse

http://youtu.be/tRBz2VbSN8g



the lunatic is on the grass
the lunatic is on the grass
remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
got to keep the loonies on the path

the lunatic is in the hall
the lunatics are in my hall
the paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and every day the paper boy brings more

and if the dam breaks open many years too soon
and if there is no room upon the hill
and if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
i'll see you on the dark side of the moon

the lunatic is in my head
the lunatic is in my head
you raise the blade, you make the change
you re-arrange me 'till i'm sane

you lock the door
and throw away the key
there's someone in my head but it's not me

and if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
you shout and no one seems to hear
and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
i'll see you on the dark side of the moon

all that you touch
all that you see
all that you taste
and all that you feel

all that you love
all that you hate
all you distrust
all that you save

all that you give
all that you deal
all that you buy
beg, borrow or steal

all you create
all you destroy
all that you do
all that you say

all that you eat
everyone you meet
all that you slight
everyone you fight

all that is now
all that is gone
all that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon

"there is no dark side of the moon really
matter of fact it's all dark"

throw down your umbilical noose so i can climb right back

demons dreamin'

The Script - I'm Yours

from my bubbyboo
"the giving of everything you have to the person you love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKQsozAKzGo



you touched these tired eyes of mine
and map my face out line by line
and somehow growing old feels fine
listen close for i'm not smart
you wrap your thoughts in works of art
and they're hanging on the walls of my heart

i may not have the softest touch
i may not say the words as such
and though i may not look like much
i'm yours

and though my edges may be rough
i never feel i'm quite enough
it may not seem like very much
but i'm yours

you healed these scars over time
embraced my soul, you loved my mind
you're the only angel in my life
the day news came, my best friend died
my knees went weak and you saw me cry
say i'm still the soldier in your eyes

i may not have the softest touch
i may not say the words as such
and though i may not look like much
i'm yours

and though my edges may be rough
i never feel i'm quite enough
it may not seem like very much
but i'm yours

i may not have the softest touch

i'm the man in the box
buried in my shit

feed my eyes (can you sew them shut?)
jesus christ (deny your maker)
he who tries (will be wasted)
feed my eyes (now you've sewn them shut)

i'm the dog who gets beat
shove my nose in shit
won't you come and save me, save me

feed my eyes (can you sew them shut?)
jesus christ (deny your maker)
he who tries (will be wasted)
feed my eyes (now you've sewn them shut)

feed my eyes (can you sew them shut?)
jesus christ (deny your maker)
he who tries (will be wasted)
feed my eyes (now you've sewn them shut)
