DOWNTOWN TRAIN

(Tom Waits)

 

Outside another yellow moon

has punched a hole in the night time mist

I climb through the window and down to the street

I'm shining like a new dime

The downtown trains are full

full of all them Brooklyn girls

They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

 

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows

They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart

They're just thorns without the rose

Be careful of them in the dark

Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one

Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Every night, every night its just the same

On a downtown train

 

I know your window and I know its late

I know your stairs and your doorway

I walk down your street and past your gate

I stand by the light of the four way

and watch them as they fall, oh baby

They all having their heart attacks

They stay at the carnival

But they'll never win you back

 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Every night, every night its just the same

You leave me lonely

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain

On a downtown train

 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

Every night, every night its just the same

 

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train

All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain

On a downtown train

On a downtown train

All my dreams fall like rain

On a downtown train

Sultan's Of Swing (Dire Straits)

 

You get a shiver in the dark

It's raining in the park but meantime

South of the river you stop

and you hold everyting

A band is blowing Dixie double

four time

You feel alright when you hear

that music ring

 

You step inside but you don't

see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain to

hear the jazz go down

Too much competition

too many other places

But too many horns can

make that sound

Way on downsouth way on

downsouth London town

 

You check Guitar George

he knows all the chords

Minds he's strictly rhythm he doesn't

want to make it cr or sing

And an old guitar is all he

can afford

When he gets up under the lights

to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind if he

doesn't make the scene

He's got a daytime job

he's doing alright

He can play the honky tonk

like anything

Saving it up for Friday night

With the Sultans

with the Sultans of Swing

 

And a crowd of young boys they're

fooling around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown

baggies and their platform soles

They don't give a damn about

a trumpet playing band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

And the Sultans played Creole

 

And then the man he steps right

up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

'Thank you goodnight now

 

it's time to go home'

And he makes it fast with

one more thing

'We are the Sultans of Swing'

We Will Rock You

 

Buddy you're a boy

Make a big noise playin' in the street

Gonna be a big man some day

You got blood on your face, big disgrace

Kicking your can all over the place

 

singing We will, we will rock you (ha ha)

We will, we will rock you

 

Keep the beat up, why, I'm gonna turn your heat up

Gonna get you on the floor, gonna turn your feet up

Rockin' you, like I never rocked you before

Like the way I do, got you screamin' for more

 

We're causin' utter devastation

When we steppin' to the place

You better believe that you can see

We're gonna rock and never stop And here we go again

Hit you with the flow again

Kick it up the second time around

we'll bring it on again - shout it up

 

We will, we will rock you

We will, we will rock you

We will, we will rock you

We will, we will rock you

 

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

 

Buddy you're an old man, poor man,

Pleading With you're eyes

Gonna make you something some day

You got mud on your face, big disgrace

Somebody better put you back in your place

 

singing We will, we will rock you (ha ha)

We will, we will rock you

Tribute - by ... Tenacious D

 

[spoken]

This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

 

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,

we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.

All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.

And he said:

[sung]

"Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul." (soul)

[spoken]

Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,

and we each said... "Okay."

[sung]

And we played the first thing that came to our heads,

Just so happened to be,

The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

 

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see

One and one make two, two and one make three,

It was destiny.

Once every hundred-thousand years or so,

When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow

And the grass doth grow...

 

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.

Whip-crack went his schwumpy tail,

And the beast was done.

He asked us: "(snort) Be you angels?"

And we said, "Nay. We are but men."

Rock!

Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,

Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

 

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.

This is just a tribute.

Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.

This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,

All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,

All right! It was the best m*thaf**kin' song the greatest song in the world.

[2-part skat]

[spoken]

And the peculiar thing is this my friends:

the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound

anything like this song.

[sung]

This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!

And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.

Ah, f*ck! Good God, God lovin',

So surprised to find you can't stop it.

[skat]

All right! All right!

Animal instinct - by ... Cranberries

 

Suddenly something has happened to me

As I was having my cup of tea

Suddenly I was feeling depressed

I was utterly and totally stressed

Do you know you made me cry

Do you know you made me die

 

And the thing that gets to me

Is you'll never really see

And the thing that freaks me out

Is I'll always be in doubt

It is a lovely thing that we have

It is a lovely thing that we

It is a lovely thing, the animal

The animal instinct

 

So take my hands and come with me

We will change reality

So take my hands and we will pray

They won't take you away

They will never make me cry, no

They will never make me die

 

And the thing that gets to me

Is you'll never really see

And the thing that freaks me out

Is I'll always be in doubt

 

The animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me

It's the animal, the animal, the animal instinct in me

It's the animal, it's the animal, it's the animal instinct in me {x2}

What do you think about this song:

 

At my door the leaves are falling

The cold wild wind will come

Sweethearts walk by together

And I still miss someone

 

I go out to wild the parties

And look for a little fun

But I find the darkened corner

'Cause I still miss someone

 

Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone

 

Though I never got over those blue eyes

I see them everywhere

I miss those arms that held me

When all the love was there

I wonder if she's sorry for

For leaving what we had begun

There's someone for me somewhere

And I still miss someone.

 

I like this song too. This song was sung by Emmylou Harris

Wonderful Tonight

by Eric Clapton

 

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.

And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

 

 

We go to a party and everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"

And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

 

 

I feel wonderful because I see

The love light in your eyes.

And the wonder of it all

Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

 

 

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,

So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.

And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,

I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.

Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

I Hope You Dance- Leeann Womack

 

 

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger

May you never take one single breath for granted

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

 

I hope you dance

I hope you dance

 

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

Never settle for the path of least resistance

Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking

Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

When you come close to selling out reconsider

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

 

I hope you dance

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)

I hope you dance

(Rolling us along)

I hope you dance

(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)

I hope you dance

(Where those years have gone)

 

I hope you still feel small when You stand beside the ocean…

Crucify- ... by ..Tori Amos

 

Every finger in the room

Is pointing at me

I wanna spit in their faces

Then I get afraid of what that could bring

I got a bowling ball in my stomach

I got a desert in my mouth

Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Just what God needs

One more victim

 

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

And my heart is sick of being in chains

 

Got a kick for a dog

Beggin' for Love

I gotta have my suffering

So that I can have my cross

I know a cat named Easter

He says will you ever learn

You're just an empty cage girl

If you kill the bird

I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets

Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets

I've been raising up my hands

Drive another nail in

Got enough guilt to start

My own religion

Please be

Save me

I cry

 

Why do we

Crucify ourselves

Every day

I crucify myself

Nothing I do is good enough for you

Crucify myself

Every day

And my heart is sick of being in chains
