R.E.M - The Wake Up Bomb
"The Wake-Up Bomb"
(I...was...cool)
I look good in a glass pack
I look good and mean
I look good in metallic sick wraparound blackout tease
I scud along the horizon, I drink some sweet tree tea
I get high in my low-ass boot-cut jean
I like being seen
I look good with my drink-eat-no-sleep, take-a-leap longevity
I get high on my attitude, latitude, 1973
I'm in deep
My head's on fire and high esteem
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Carry my dead, bored, been there, done that, anything
I had to knock a few buildings over
I make an ugly mess
I had to blow a gasket
Drop transmission
I had to decompress
I had to write the great American novel
I had a neutron bomb
I had to teach the world to sing by the age of 21
I wake up (I wake up)
I wake up (I wake up)
I threw up when I saw what I'd done
Oh, the wake-up bomb
Oh, the wake-up bomb
My head's on fire and high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
I've had enough, I've seen enough, I've had it all, I'm giving up
I won the race, I broke the cup, I drank it all, I spit it up
Yeah, atomic, Supersonic
What a joke, I'm dumb
See ya, don't wanna be you
Lunch meat, Pond scum
My head's on fire in high esteem
Get drunk and sing along to Queen
Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything
Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything

U2 - New Year’s Day
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
"New Year's Day" lyrics
Yeah
All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspaper says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again
Oh
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
Madonna - Open Your Heart
Now I get it. The illusions crumble down. I can feel your heart. Thank you! It means everything to me. What a powerful force for good, ART and freedom. I was blocking so much out to NOT get tricked and it didn’t quite work out that way.
Open Your Heart lyrics
Madonna
Watch out!
I see you on the street and you walk on by
You make me wanna hang my head down and cry
If you gave me half a chance you'd see
My desire burning inside of me
But you choose to look the other way
I've had to work much harder than this
For something I want, don't try to resist me
Open your heart to me, baby
I hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
I think that you're afraid to look in my eyes (oh, baby)
You look a little sad, boy, I wonder why (mmm)
I follow you around but you can't see
You're too wrapped up in yourself to notice
So you choose to look the other way
Well, I've got something to say
Don't try to run, I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to...
Open your heart to me, baby
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
Open your heart with the key
One is such a lonely number
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Open your heart, I'll make you love me
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key
Don't try to run, I can keep up with you
Nothing can stop me from trying, you've got to...
Open your heart to me, baby
I'll hold the lock and you hold the key
Open your heart to me, darlin'
I'll give you love if you, you turn the key
Open your heart with the key
Open your heart, I'll make you love me (I'm giving love to you)
It's not that hard, if you just turn the key (come on, baby)
U2 - Angel Of Harlem
So many songs from the past now sound like blaring declarations of truth. FASCINATING. Love the collaborative energy we’re seeing!
Angel Of Harlem lyrics
U2
It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel
New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
Birdland on fifty-three
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles, and she's got to be an angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
Soul love, this love won't let me go
So long, angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem
She says it's heart, heart and soul
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (right now)
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
The 2 names “the media” pretend to ignore are mine and his.
No one should have the money to bribe AND THREATEN practically everyone. 1 frail looking person is holding the world hostage. The people around him are terrified and not as smart as they think they are. TV is a helluva drug.
The Rolling Stones - Doo Doo Doo Doo (HeartbreakerS)
Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) - Rompe Corazones - Letra
La policía de Nueva York
Persiguía a un chico por el parque
Y confudiéndole con otra persona
Le pegaron un tiro en
El corazón
Rompe corazones
Usare tu 44 magnum
Para hacer tu
Mundo añicos
Rompe corazones
Usaré tu .44 magnum
Para hacer tu
Mundo añicos
Una niña de diez años
Estaba clavándose agujas en los brazos
Murió
En la esquina de un mugriento un callejón
Su madre dijo que no tenía
Posibilidad de sobrevivir
Rompe corazones
Rompe corazones
La Niña se clavó los alfileres en el
Corazón
Rompe corazones
El alma sin escrúpulos
Te arranco el corazón
A pedazos
Oh sí
Oh sí
Tu mundo se
Hará añicos
Oh sí
Tu mundo se
Hará añicos
Rompe corazones
Rompe corazones
Me arrancaste el pedazos corazón
Rompe corazones
Rompe corazones
Tu mundo se hará añicos
Tu mundo se
Hará añicos
Oh sí
Oh sí
Hará añicos
Rompe corazones
Amor de piedra
Oh sí
Oh sí
La Niña se clavó los alfileres en
El corazón
Oh sí
Rompe corazones
Tu mundo se
Hará añicos
Heartbreaker Lyrics
The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
The put a bullet through his heart
Heart breakers with your forty four
I want to tear your world apart
You heart breaker with your forty four
I want to tear your world a part
A ten year old girl on a street corner
Sticking needles in her arm
She died in the dirt of an alleyway
Her mother said she had no chance, no chance!
Heart breaker, heart breaker
She stuck the pins right in her heart
Heart breaker, pain maker
Stole the love right out of you heart
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Want to tear your world apart
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Want to tear your world apart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
You stole the love right out of my heart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
I want to tear that world
I want to tear that world
I want to tear that world apart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
Stone love, stone love
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Want to tear that world apart
Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Rosanne Cash featuring Elvis Costello & Kris Kristofferson - 8 Gods Of Harlem
"8 Gods Of Harlem" lyrics
(feat. Elvis Costello & Kris Kristofferson)
[Rosanne Cash:]
Rain falls on the paramedics but they do not go inside
The street is where it all went down, the street is where he lies
The mother in her universe feels nothing but the pain
The son who was a baby but who will never be a man
[Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson & Elvis Costello:]
So we pray to the God of Broken Class
We pray to the God of Gunfire and Regret
We pray to the God of Collateral Children
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem
[Kris Kristofferson:]
Son was on his best behavior, shit was on his shoes
Blood was on the handlebars, nothing on the news
No one saw it coming, no one was to blame
Daddy's got a broken heart, he'll never be the same
[Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson & Elvis Costello:]
So we pray to the God of Old Illusions
We pray to the God of Wasted Chances
We pray to the God of Dreams and Roses
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem
[Elvis Costello:]
A girl falls down in hysterics
Is she laughing? Is she crying? Is she living? Is he dying?
Undone
Who raise the glasses higher
Sulfur from the underground
Erosion, scalding steam
Her brother in a picture frame
And someone starts to scream
[Rosanne Cash, Kris Kristofferson & Elvis Costello:]
So we pray to the God of Washed Out Paper Broken Hearts
We pray to the God, the last chance is for rage and vengeance
We pray to the God, beat the drum slowly, neatly folded up and hidden Old Glory
We pray to them all, the eight Gods of Harlem
