"Lonely Island" - Sam Cooke

 

I'm so lonely because

 

I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city

I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me

I tell you my heart is broken

It's a shame and a pity

I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea

(x2)

 

Nobody will believe me

Nobody seems to care

How lonely, how lonely can you be

I walk around the city

My heart sends out a flare

Baby, baby, baby, won't you rescue me

 

I live on a lonely island in the heart of the city

I live on a lonely island there isn't any hope for me

I tell you my heart is broken

It's a shame and a pity

I might as well be shipwrecked in the middle of the sea

Bruce Springsteeen - Streets of Philadelphia

 

 

I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt

I was unrecognizable to myself

I saw my reflection in a window, I didn't know my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me wastin' away

On the Streets of Philadelphia

 

I walked the avenue, 'til my legs felt like stone

I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone

At night I could hear the blood in my veins

Just as black and whispering as the rain

On the Streets of Philadelphia

 

Ain't no angel gonna greet me

It's just you and I my friend

And my clothes don't fit me no more

I walked a thousand miles

Just to slip this skin

 

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake

I can feel myself fading away

So receive me brother with your faithless kiss

Or will we leave each other alone like this

On the Streets of Philadelphia

 

[[Lo...]]

Bruce Springsteen  & The E Street Band - Because The Night

 

 

Take me now baby here as I am

Pull me close try an understand

I work all day out in the hot sun

Break my back till the evenin' comes

Come on now try and understand

I worked all the day busting for the man

Take me now as the sun descends

They can't hurt us now

They can't hurt me now

They can't hurt me now

 

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lovers

Because the night belongs to lovers

 

What I got I have earned

What I'm not baby I have learned

Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe

Just stay in my bed till the morning comes

Come on now try and understand

The way I feel when I'm in your hands

Take me now as the sun descends

They can't hurt us now

They can't hurt us now

They can't hurt us now

 

Because the night...

 

Your love is here and now

The vicious circle turns and burns without

Though I cannot live forgive me now

The time has come to take this moment and

They can't hurt you now

"Everyday Is A Winding Road" - Sheryl Crow

 

I hitched a ride with a vending machine repairman

He said he's been down this road more than twice

He was high on intellectualism

I've never been there but the brochure looks nice

 

Jump in, let's go

Lay back, enjoy the show

Everybody gets high, everybody gets low

These are the days when anything goes

 

Everyday is a winding road

I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a faded sign

I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

 

He's got a daughter he calls Easter

She was born on a Tuesday night

I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone

Why I'm a stranger in my own life

 

Jump in, let's go

Lay back, enjoy the show

Everybody gets high, everybody gets low

These are the days when anything goes

 

Everyday is a winding road

I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a faded sign

I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

(x2)

 

I've been swimming in a sea of anarchy

I've been living on coffee and nicotine

I've been wondering if all the things I've seen

Were ever real, were ever really happening

 

Everyday is a winding road

I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a faded sign

I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a winding road

I get a little bit closer

Everyday is a faded sign

I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

"Fly Like An Eagle" - The River Boys

 

Where the clear wind blows

Where the only freedom grows

And the light that you see

Shines for you and me

That's where I'm gonna fly

Fly like an eagle in the sky

 

Over valleys and green

To the places no one's been

Ride the wind high and low

Into the sunset flow

Watch the clouds passing by

Fly like an eagle in the sky

That's where I'm gonna fly

Fly like an eagle in the sky

 

Flying through the air

On a wave that takes you higher

See the pictures disappear

Until you reach

Reach the end of time

Meet the end of time

See the end of time

 

Fly like an eagle in the sky

Flying through the air

On a wave that takes you higher

See the pictures disappear

Until you reach

Reach the end of time

Meet the end of time

See the end of time

 

Where the clear wind blows

Where the only freedom grows

And the light that you see

Shines for you and me

 

That's where I'm gonna fly

Fly like an eagle in the sky

Watch the clouds passing by

Fly like an eagle in the sky

That's where I'm gonna fly

Fly like an eagle in the sky

 

Watch the clouds passing by

Fly like an eagle in the sky

Fly like an eagle in the sky

"Giants" - Ella Henderson

 

http://www.nathab.com/uploaded-files/carousels/TRIPS/Wild-China/_MG_8309.jpg

 

I know what it’s like to be feeling small

In a corner with your back up against the wall

Caught up in a trap and you can’t get out

 

I know what it is when it’s hard to breathe

Cause you turn into your own worst enemy

Blaming everything on yourself right now

And even the best get it wrong sometimes

We take a left when we should have turned right

 

[CHORUS:]

Don’t let the fear keep you from climbing

And if you fall to the ground just keep trying

Head up in the clouds, never looking down

Nothing’s gonna stop us this time round 

We could be giants, oh, you and I

We could be giants, giants

 

You just walk on by when they criticize

Try to tear you apart with their dirty lies

They will never win, they don’t understand

That even the best get it wrong sometimes

So don’t live with regret or you’ll lose your mind

 

[CHORUS]

 

We stand tall like giants, we stand tall like giants

We stand tall like giants, we stand tall like giants

 

Don’t let the fear keep you from climbing

And if you fall to the ground just keep trying

Head up in the clouds, never looking down

Nothings gonna stop us this time round

We could be giants, oh, you and I 

We could be giants, giants

 

We stand tall like giants

We stand tall like giants

We stand tall like giants

We stand tall like giants

We stand tall like giants

"Storms" - Tom Odell

 

So long, so long living

With these heavy clouds

Following me

 

I can't go, I can't go on running

With these muddy roads

Holding my feet

 

Need one of these storms

One of these storms, one of these storms

To wash me clean

 

So long, so long just living

With these heavy clothes

Upon my skin

 

I've spent so long. so long thinking

These sleepless nights

They keep me thin

 

I need one of these storms

One of these storms, one of these storms

To wash me clean

 

I need one of these storms

One of these storms, one of these storms

To wash us clean

"Diving In The Deep End" - Natalie Imbruglia

 

Why should it be someone like me

Could make the same mistakes again

Haven't I learned people get hurt

When they go diving in the deep end

In the deep end, in the deep end

In the deep end

 

Thought I was smart controlling the art

Of turning off my intuition

Haven't I seen since I was fourteen

That life is all just repetition

You lose or you win, you sink or you swim

When you go diving in the deep end

In the deep end, in the deep end

In the deep end

 

Now it's time to realize

You don't have to agonize

You don't have to compromise

But the one thing you must do

Is open your eyes, your eyes

Your eyes

 

Why should it be someone like me

Could make the same mistakes again

Haven't I learned people get hurt

When they go diving

Diving

Diving

The Sleepover Disaster - Songwriting For Dummies

 

 

It's so hard

Living with a dream

Feeling mountain tops

Slide into the sea

It's a losing fight

to turn this chaos into light

 

Scattered string of notes

Echoes through the hall

No one hears a thing

they've all hit last call

 

It's a losing fight

to turn this chaos into light

though I see? before me

an endless spiraling destiny

 

Broken coffee cup

Trickling stream of blood

Drips upon the page

So I'll take this phrase

And wrap it up in a melody

Wrap it up in a melody (repeat x14)

"Last Dollar (Fly Away)" - Tim McGraw

 

[CHORUS:]

One, two, three

Like a bird I sing

Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

And I'm so glad you're here today

Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away

 

I'm down to my last dollar

I've walked right through my shoes

Just a small reminder of the Hell that I've gone through  :'(

But look at me still smiling

Cause I'm wondering what I'll do

Since I ain't got nothing, I got nothing to lose

 

Everybody say: Ha ha ha - ha ha ha

 

My friends are always giving me

Watches, hats, and wine

That's how I know this is serious

That's how I know it's time

I don't have to worry about things that I don't have

Cause if I ain't got nothing I got nothing to hold me back

 

[CHORUS]

 

Fly away, fly away

Fly away, fly away

 

There's nothing that's worth keeping me

From places I should go

From Happyville to Lovingland

I'm gonna tour from coast to coast

I'm leaving everything behind

There's not much that I need

Cause If I ain't got nothing

I'm foot-loose and fancy-free

 

[CHORUS]

 

Fly away, fly away

Fly away, fly away

 

Look at me so free

Nothing's holding me down

Look at me so free

Can't keep my feet on the ground

 

[CHORUS]

 

And

One, two, three

Like a bird I sing

Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

And I'm so glad you're here today

Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away

 

Fly away, fly away

Fly away, fly away

Fly away

Fly away

 

One, two, three

Like a bird I sing

Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings

Buffalo Tom - I'm Allowed

 

Waited for an answer

But I waited for twenty five years

They stopped my bleeding

But could never stop all these tears

 

I waited for the day when

You came out from beneath all that weight

I tried to lift it

But it seems I got there too

Late

Just to late

Just to late

Cause I'm allowed

 

Came to the party

But I got my own signals crossed

Thought I was welcome

But I felt like I should get lost

 

I know that I'm older

Cause I feel that everywhere

I could talk to no one

Cause I knew not one person

There

No one's there

They just stare

But they're allowed

 

As vivid as a car wreck

Watch them dripping off highway ramps

She came to me smiling

Her heart underneath both her hands

 

She spoke of a French boy

At least two times through the night

It could have been the liquor

Or the music but that is

All right

That's all right

She's allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed

I'm allowed

"Search For The Hero" - M People

 

Sometimes

The river flows but nothing breathes

A train arrives but never leaves

It's a shame

 

Oh life

Like love that's walked out of the door

Of being rich or being poor

Such a shame

 

But it's then

Then that faith arrives

To make you feel at least alive

 

And that's why

You should keep on aiming high

Just seek yourself and you will shine

 

[CHORUS]

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself

Search for the secrets you hide

Search for the hero inside yourself

Until you find the key to your life

 

In this life

Long and hard though it may seem

Live it as you'd live a dream

Aim so high

 

Just keep

The flame of truth burning bright

The missing treasure you must find

 

Because you

And only you alone

Can build a bridge across the stream

 

Weave your spell

In life's rich tapestry

Your passport to feeling so free

 

[CHORUS]

 

You've got to search inside yourself

Deep, deep down inside yourself

You've got to search inside yourself

 

You've got to search for the hero inside yourself

Search for the secrets you hide

Search for the hero inside yourself

Until you find the key to your life

 

You've got to search inside yourself

You've got to

Search

"Because I Love You" - The Masters Apprentices

 

 

It's because I love you

Not because we're far apart

It's because I love you

And because you're near my heart

 

It's because I miss you

Oh how long it seems to be

It's because I miss you

Thoughts of you come back to me

 

Ooh, do what you wanna do

Be what you wanna be yeah

(x5)

 

Once we walked together

From the field up to the hill

Promised love forever

I remember that day still

 

It's because I love you

I'll come home to you one day

It's because I love you

In my thoughts you'll always stay

 

Ooh, do what you wanna do

Be what you wanna be yeah

Ooh, do what you wanna do

Be what you wanna be yeah

Matchbox 20 - Unwell

 

All day staring at the ceiling

Making friends with shadows on my wall

All night hearing voices telling me

That I should get some sleep

Because tomorrow might be good for something

 

Hold on

Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown

And I don't know why

 

[Chorus]

 

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell

I know right now you can't tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

I know right now you don't care

But soon enough you're gonna think of me

And how I used to be...me

 

I'm talking to myself in public

Dodging glances on the train

And I know, I know they've all been talking about me

I can hear them whisper

And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me

Out of all the hours thinking

Somehow I've lost my mind

 

[Chorus]

 

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell

I know right now you can't tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

I know right now you don't care

But soon enough you're gonna think of me

And how I used to be

 

I've been talking in my sleep

Pretty soon they'll come to get me

Yeah, they're taking me away

 

[Chorus]

 

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell

I know right now you can't tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

I know right now you don't care

But soon enough you're gonna think of me

And how I used to be

 

Yeah, how I used to be

How I used to be

Well, I'm just a little unwell

How I used to be

How I used to be

I'm just a little unwell

Matchbox 20 - Bent

 

 

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

 

If I need some other love, then

Give me more than I can stand

And when my smile gets old and faded

Wait around I'll smile again

 

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just hold me and then

Oh, just hold me again

 

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

 

If I couldn't sleep, could you sleep?

Could you paint me better off?

Could you sympathize with my needs?

I know you think I need a lot

 

I started out clean but I'm jaded

Just phoning it in

Oh, just breaking the skin

 

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

 

Start bending me, it's never enough

As I feel all your pieces

Start bending me, keep bending me

Oh, until I'm completely broken in

 

Shouldn't be so complicated

Just touch me and then

Oh, just touch me again

 

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

Keep breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me will let them

Without understanding

Here I go there again

 

Can you help me I'm bent

I'm so scared that I'll never

Get put back together

Yeah, you're breaking me in

And this is how we will end

With you and me bent

"Bluebird Revisited" - Stephen Stills

 

"Bluebird" - Buffalo Springfield

https://youtu.be/ki5KVZ5RQuM

 

The pain of losing you

Well it made me an angry man

Was there something else that I could do

Or was it over

Had I a chance

 

So I listened once again

To my bluebird sing

Oh yes and children

How she made the mountains ring

 

Now when hearts be stilled

That gentle voice is spring

Oh my precious

My soul says to my blue eyed sparrow

 

Come back, come back

I can put away the cages

Come back, come back

Can we put away the rages

Come back, come back

Can we turn the next page together

 

Listen to my bluebird laugh

She can't tell you why

Deep within her heart you see

She knows only crying

 

There she sits aloft a perch

Strangest color blue

Flying is forgotten now

Thinks only of you

 

So get all those blues

Must be a thousand hues

And each is differently used

You just know

 

You sit there mesmerized

By the depth of her eyes

And you can categorize

She's got soul, she's got soul

She's got soul, she's got soul

She's got soul

 

Soon she's going to fly away

Sadness is her own

Give herself a bath of tears

And go on home

 

So I listened once again

To my bluebird sing

Oh yes and children

How she made the mountains ring

 

Now when hearts are stilled

That voice is spring

Oh my precious

My soul says to my blue eyed sparrow

 

Fly back home, fly back home

Fly back home

"Running on Ice" - Billy Joel

 

There's a lot of tension in this town

I know it's building up inside of me

I've got all the symptoms and the side effects

Of city life anxiety

 

I could never understand

Why the urban attitude is so superior

In a world of high rise ambition

Most people's motives are ulterior

 

Sometimes I feel as though I'm running on ice

Paying the price too long

Kinda get the feeling that I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong

 

I'm a cosmopolitan sophisticate

Of culture and intelligence

The culmination of technology

And civilized experience

 

But I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk

A modern man accumulates

I'm a statistic in a system

That a civil servant dominates

 

And all that means is that I'm running on ice

Caught in a vise so strong  :'(

I'm slipping and sliding cause I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong

 

You've got to run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run

 

As fast as I can climb

A new disaster every time I turn around

As soon as I get one fire put out

There's another building burning down

 

They say this highway's going my way

But I don't know where it's taking me

It's a bad waste, a sad case, a rat race

It's breaking me

 

I get no traction cause I'm running on ice

It's taking me twice as long

I get a bad reaction cause I'm running on ice

Where did my life go wrong

 

You've got to run, run, run, run

Run, run, run, run, run

 

Running on ice

Running on ice

Running, running on ice

Running on ice

Slipping, Sliding

Running on ice

"Sad Song" - Oasis

 

Sing a sad song in a lonely place

Try to put a word in for me

It's been so long since I found this place

You better put in two or three

 

We as people are just walking round

Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground

What we don't see, well, it can't be real

What we don't touch we cannot feel

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

When we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why

Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

 

We're throwing it all away, we're throwing it all away

We're throwing it all away at the end of the day

 

If you're needing something I can give

I know I'll help you if I can

If you're honest and you say that you did

You know that I would give you my hand 

 

Or a sad song in a lonely place

I'll try to put a word in for you

Need a shoulder, well, if that's the case

You know there's nothing I wouldn't do 

 

Where we're living in this town

The sun is coming up and it's going down

But it's all just the same at the end of the day

When we cheat and we lie

Nobody says it's wrong so we don't ask why

Cause it's all just the same at the end of the day

 

Don't throw it all away, don't throw it all away

Don't throw it all away, don't throw it all away

 

Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away

You're throwing it all away at the end of the day

"Life As We Know It" - Lady Antebellum

 

I know the road you're on

Ain't quite the way you planned it

But the twists and turns are all part of the magic 

And believe me you'll get through it

You'll see

[CHORUS:]

So don't be afraid

Of the things you cannot change

As the sun surely follows the rain

I believe that you can't try to lead or control it

Cause that's just life as we know it

 

Well I don't know much but in life there's always reasons

And beauty lies in the young child's eyes

Believe me

You know love is all we feel and need

To breathe

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh it will pass you by so fast

So don't let it go

Cause only love will last

Long after you've gone

 

So don't be afraid

Of the things you cannot change

As the sun surely follows the rain

I believe that you can't try to lead or control it

Cause that's just life as we know it

 

Life as we know it

Life as we know it

Someday, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living

We'll find a way of forgiving

Somewhere

 

There's a place for us

Somewhere a place for us

Peace and quiet and open air 

Wait for us somewhere

 

There's a time for us

Someday there'll be a time for us

Time together with time to spare

Time to learn, time to care

 

Someday, somewhere

We'll find a new way of living

We'll find there's a way of forgiving

Somewhere

 

There's a place for us

A time and a place for us

Hold my hand and we're halfway there

Hold my hand and I'll take you there

 

Somehow

Someday

Somewhere

"Ain't Gonna Drown"

Elle King

 

 

"Ain't Gonna Drown"

 

Train's coming but I'm stuck on this road

Moon's rising and my blood is growing cold

Preacher man can't save a soul like mine

Miracles are just too damn hard to find

 

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

 

I'm bound for the broken promise land

To meet my demons and get back my upper hand

Lawman can't catch a soul like mine

Miracles are just too damn hard to find

 

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

 

Lawman can't catch a soul like mine

Miracles are just too damn hard to find

 

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home

 

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Ain't gonna drown in the water

Cause the good lord ain't bringing me home
