Elvis Costello - She’s The One

"She's The One" lyrics (written by Bruce Springsteen)

With her killer graces
And her secret places
That no boy can fill
With her hands on her hips
Oh and that smile on her lips
Because she knows that it kills me
With her soft French cream
Standing in that doorway like a dream
I wish she'd just leave me alone
Because French cream won't soften them boots
And French kisses will not break that heart of stone
With her long hair falling
And her eyes that shine like a midnight sun
Oh she's the one
She's the one

That thunder in your heart
At night when you're kneeling in the dark
It says you're never gonna leave her
But there's this angel in her eyes
That tells such desperate lies
And all you want to do is believe her
And tonight you'll try
Just one more time
To leave it all behind
And to break on through
Oh she can take you
But if she wanna break you
She's gonna find out that ain't so easy to do
And no matter where you sleep
Tonight or how far you run
Oh she's the one
She's the one

Oh and just one kiss
She'd fill them long summer nights
With her tenderness
That secret pact you made
Back when her love could save you
From the bitterness
Oh she's the one
Oh she's the one
Oh she's the one
Oh she's the one

Elvis Costello & Mumford & Sons - The Ghost Of Tom Joad

Welcome to the new world order

The Ghost Of Tom Joad lyrics (written by Bruce Springsteen)

Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Going someplace and there's no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleeping in their cars in the southwest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest

Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city aqueduct

And the highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad

Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Where there's somebody fighting for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Look in their eyes, Mom, you'll see me"

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Nick Lowe - Cruel To Be Kind

Cruel To Be Kind Lyrics

Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wit's end
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide
With the things that you do
And when I ask you to be nice, you say

You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you, baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down, again and again
And when I ask you to explain, you say

You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you, baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground
To have you knock me back down, again and again
And when I ask you to explain, you say

You've gotta be cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Oh in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind), it's a very very very good sign
(Cruel to be kind), it means that I love you, baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Oh in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind), yes it's a very very very good sign
(Cruel to be kind), it means that I love you, baby
(You've gotta be cruel)
You gotta be cruel to be kind

Oh in the right measure
(Cruel to be kind), yes it's a very very very good sign
(Cruel to be kind), it means that I love you

Welcome To The Black Parade lyrics

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons
And all the non-believers, the plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer to join the black parade..."

When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets
And when you're gone, we want you all to know

We'll carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory
Will carry on, we'll carry on, and in my
Heart, I can't contain it, the anthem won't explain it

A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call

To carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory
Will carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Broken and defeated, your weary widow marches

On and on, we carry through the fears (Oh, oh, oh)
Disappointed faces of your peers (Oh, oh, oh)
Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care!

We'll carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Dead and gone, believe me, your memory
Will carry on, we'll carry on, and though you're
Broken and defeated, your weary widow marches

Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on!)
Do or die, you'll never make me (We'll carry on!)
Because the world will never take my heart (We'll carry on!)
Go and try, you'll never break me (We'll carry-)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (We'll carry on...)

Your best interests are our best interests as well - if you have any humanity at all

They can’t control all of us and TERRORISM can only carry them so far. Let them run their puppet elections and we will call them out every step of the way.

Sabotage lyrics

Beastie Boys

I can't stand it, I know you planned it 
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate 
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here 
'Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear 
So while you sit back and wonder why 
I got this fucking thorn in my side 
Oh my God, it's a mirage 
I'm tellin' y'all, it's a sabotage

So, so, so, so listen up 'cause you can't say nothin' 
You'll shut me down with a push of your button? 
But you, I'm out and I'm gone 
I'll tell you now, I keep it on and on

'Cause what you see you might not get 
And we can bet, so don't you get souped yet 
You're scheming on a thing that's a mirage 
I'm trying to tell you now, it's sabotage

Why

Our backs are now against the wall? 
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage 
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage 
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage 
Listen all y'all, it's a sabotage

I can't stand it, I know you planned it 
I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate 
Lord, I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place 
Because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face 
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel 
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle 
What could it be? It's a mirage 
You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage

Elvis Costello - Magnificent Hurt

I shed a single tear
For my predicament

Magnificent Hurt lyrics

After talking in tongues
I began to preach
“What falls from the branch is an apple or peach”
Hold on to me
There's a Red Alert
It's the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt

I took a little walk
I took another stimulant
I shed a single tear
For my predicament
Don't act surprised or insolent
It's the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt

When we first met, I knew you were beautiful
You fit like the seat of a blue mohair suit
But the pain that I felt
Let me know I'm alive
And I opened my heart
To the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt

I speak low and intimate
Like a cardboard sophisticate
What if this is true love?
Not some town hall certificate
It's the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt

I stood at the door and I almost went through with it
Tight as the angle of my amen
And I swore there and then
As I feign and I flirt
I unbuttoned my shirt
To the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt
To the way you make me feel
Magnificent Hurt
It's the way you make me feel
It's the way you make me feel
Magnificent

George Ivan Morrison And Chris Farlowe - The Big Lie

"Big Lie" Lyrics

It was all a big lie
There was no heart to break
Everything seemed about it fake
Like it just didn't take
Got to make no mistake
It was all a big lie

I was king for a day
I was just making hay
They hung on to every word
Oh yes they did

That I had to say
When I turned around
Somebody stole my crown
It was all a big lie

Well I thought I knew
But I got fooled
It could easily happen to you
(But don't look so smug)
But don't look so smug
(When they pull out the rug)
When they pull out the rug

My, my, my, my
My, my, my
It was all a big lie

There was no cake to bake
There was no more to break
There was no heart to ache
There was no time to waste
There was no food to taste
No love to take
No heart to break

There was no heart to break
There was too much at stake
There were no rules to make
It was for goodness sake
Try to keep me awake
But there was no heart to break

My, my, my, my, my, my, my
(No heart to break)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
(No heart to break)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
(No heart to break)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my
(No heart to break)

Make no mistake
Make no mistake
There was no heart to break

George Ivan Morrison - Dangerous

The honest should not be persecuted.

"Dangerous" lyrics

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, it had to be good
Well I must be somebody looking, seeing I'm close to it
Maybe I'm getting close to the truth

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, it must've been good
Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting close to the truth
I'm not talking about wishful thinking
I'm talking 'bout calling 'em out, all their lies, lies
I'm not talking about wishful thinking
Why don't I make somebody cry?

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, but it must've been good
Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting close to the truth, alright, alright

Really, I was just looking for the evidence
I've been asking for it for over a year
I was just asking 'em for the evidence
I've been asking 'em now for over a year

Somebody said, well, I'm dangerous
Well, I must be getting, getting close to the truth, alright, hey

Somebody said it was about the data
Somebody else said it was about the dates
Somebody said does it really matter? I said yes
I said I want ya to show me, show me the proof

I've been asking for it, for the evidence
For now baby, we'll over a year
I've been asking for, innocent evidence
I've been asking it for now well over a year

Somebody said, give me the data
Somebody said it must've been about dates
Somebody said look it up on a computer
But I said man, it's a bit too late

Somebody said I was dangerous
Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, I was dangerous
It was something so bad, it must've been good

Somebody said I was dangerous
I must be getting closer to the truth
I said where is the evidence?
I just wanna see the proof

I said gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
Gimme some evidence
I wanna see, I wanna see some proof
Because

Somebody said I was dangerous
I said something bad, man that must've been good
Well, somebody said I was dangerous
Oh well, man
That means I'm getting close to the truth
Close to the truth

Elvis Costello, Chris Farlowe - Out Of Time

Out Of Time lyrics

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are all left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby, baby, baby you're out of time

Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
'Cause baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

I said, baby, baby, you're out of time
