Bon Jovi - Blood Money Lyrics

Bon Jovi - Blood Money Video

Hey Patty Garrett that's what I used to call you
They tell me you want me but I hear they've got you
They made you a lawman with a badge made of silver
They paid you some money to sell them my soul
 
But you say this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
 
Never been rich
Never been poor
I have always been the same
Blessing or a curse
Depends on where your treasure is
Money comes
Money goes
Love eternal
 
I wonder what would have happened
If you were the killer
And I was the hero
Would things be the same
Or would I have traded
Your life for my own life
Would I have paid
Your debts in your place
 
But this ain't about me, this ain't about you
Or the good and the bad times we've both been through
When the lines between brothers and justice have changed
You do what you've got to cause you can't walk away
 
Blood money
That's what I call it
'Cause money for blood ain't no fair exchange
Blood money
Bought and then sold you
But your conscience is all you can take to your grave

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Lyrics

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister Video

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do?
He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that funny day
And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because
It's bound to be less boring than today
It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow
 
Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say
Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway
Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep
She was into S&M and bible studies
Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me
Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
Her cup of tea, she would admit to me
Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one
 
Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information
The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation
Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely
But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
How and why and when and where to go
How and why and when and where to follow
 
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
 
When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion
So she got a special deal on renting
From the man at Rediffusion
Look at me! I'm on TV
It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor
Now I'm in a million pieces, picked up for deliberation
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
By the people listening at home
By the people watching on the telly
 
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
But if you are feeling sinister
Go off and see a minister
Chances are you'll probably feel better
If you stayed and played with yourself

Backstreet Boys - Let The Music Heal Your Soul Lyrics

Backstreet Boys - Let The Music Heal Your Soul Video

Oh if someone writes a song with a simple rhyme
Just a song where is feeling show
And if someone feels the same about the simple song
Oh sometimes you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also, it also heals your soul
 
Chorus:
Let the music heal your soul
Let the music take control
Let the music give you the power to move any mountain
 
Oh if someone plays piano with some simple chords
So melodic and endearing too
And oh if someone plays guitar with the old piano
And maybe you can hear them sing
Music gives you happiness or sadness
But it also heals your soul
 
Chorus
 
Oh yeah
Let the music heal you soul
Let the music take control
Let the music heal you soul
Oh, oh yes
 
Let the music heal your soul
Let the musice take control
(6x)

(man it's funny cause I learnt this song when I was a little kid
 
When I went to visit my granddaddy down there in Mobile, Alabama
He stayed in this place called Trendy Garden you know what I'm sayin?
He used to grow his vegetables right there on the side of the house
And every now and then he'd get me to help him out know what I'm sayin?
And as he was like weedin out his garden and everything
He'd sing all kinda tunes and hymns know what I'm sayin?
And sometime he'd sing the same one like over and over and over again
You know what I'm sayin?
He'd get tired of singin the words
Sometimes he'd take a sip of his water outta that glass jar, set it back down
And while we was plantin them collard greens, he'd hum it
Just like this right here, help me out cuz, you know how we used to do it)
 
(*humming*)
 
It gets all in my hands
It gets all in my feet
It makes me wanna sing my song
To every little girl I meet
It gets all in my heart
It gets all in my sole
It comes straight out my mouth
And then I lose control
Cause I, I got this feelin, that everything's gonna be all right
Be all right
Be all right
Be all right

Usher - Burn Lyrics

Usher - Burn Video

I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to
Let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn
 
(Verse 1)
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
 
(Chorus)
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
 
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
 
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
 
(Chorus)
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
 
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
 
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me
That I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down
And cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me
That I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)
 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
 
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return
 
(Chorus)
When the feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
 
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We knew it been through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

TLC - Unpretty Lyrics

TLC - Unpretty Video

I wish i could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today (yeah)
 
Pre chours:
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'
 
Chorus:
 
You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he said so
You can buy all the make up
That M.A.C. can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out, who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel
So damn unpretty
I'll make you feel unpretty too
 
Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me (hey)
 
Pre chours:
 
My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
It's because of you
I've tried different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I believe I'm trippin'
 
Chorus
 
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
 
Chorus x 2

Sam Cooke - Smoke Rings Lyrics

Sam Cooke - Smoke Rings Video

Where do they go
Those smoke rings I blow each night?
Oh, what do they do
Those circles of blue and white?
Why do they seem to picture a dream of love
And why do they fade, that phantom parade of love?
 
Puff, puff, puff, puff your cares away
Puff, puff, puff, night and day
Blow, blow them in the air
Silky little rings
Blow, blow them everywhere
Give your troubles wings!
 
Oh little smoke rings I love
Please take me above
Take me with you!

Outkast - Da Art Of Storytellin' (Part 1) Lyrics

Outkast - Da Art Of Storytellin' (Part 1) Video

Yea
Somebody hit me the other day for a rendezvous
Was it the bitch that fucked to Goodie and the Dungen Crew
Lets say her name was suzy screw cuz she SCREWED alot
Makin a nigga hit that chonk, at ligitimate spots
Not no parks, backseats, or things of that nature
Had to hate ya playa, im dickin the hoe down never said i paid her
Straight laid her, slayed the bitch like Darth Vader, made her
From College Park and Fayetter, all the way down to Decatur
Like jada, her wig was sharp and sporty, that was shorty
Safe as a snake on eggs in a beamer 840
Its foggy, i went to the crib to call her but she lost me
My baby mamma beeped 7 o'clock its gonna cost me
But i still wanna cut her tho, maybe she had to work
Caught her at the mall, wearin a real tight skirt
She was fine as FUCK i wanted to sex the hoe up
She said lets hit the parkin lot so i can sick your duck
I said cool i really wanted to cut you but this'll do,
I gotta pick up my daughter cuz my baby mamma beeped me too
She said she understood then everythin was kosher
I gave her a lil will CD and a fuckin poster
Its like that now
 
Its like that now
You better go get the hump up out your back now
Its about 4 5 cats off in my 'Lac now
We just shoot game in the form of story rap now
* (yeah)*
Its like that now, its like that now
 
(andre)
Now suzy skrew had a parna named sasha * (sasha)* thumper * (thumper)*
I remember her # like the summer
When her and suzy yea they threw a slumber---party
But you can not call it that cuz it was slummer
Well it was more like spend the night
3 in the mornin yawnin dancin under street lights
We chillin like a villian and a nigga feelin right
In the middle of the ghetto on the curb, but in spite
All of the bullshit we on our back starin at the stars above
* (awww man)* talkin bout what we gonna be when we grow up
I said what you wanna be? she said alive * (hmm)*
It made me think for a minute, then looked in her eyes
I coulda died, time went on, i got grown
Rhyme got strong, mind got blown, i came back home
To find lil sasha was gone
Her mamma said she with a nigga that be treatin her wrong
I kept on singin my song and hopin at a show
I would one day see her standin in the front row
But 2 weeks later she got found in the back of a school
With a needle in her arm, baby 2 months due, Sasha Thumper
 
Its like that now
You better go get the hump up out your back now
Its about 4 5 cats off in my 'Lac now
We just shoot game in the form of story rap now
* (yeah)*
Its like that now, its like that now
 
Its like that now
You better go get the hump up out your back now
Its about 4 5 cats off in my 'Lac now
We just shoot game in the form of story rap now
* (yeah)*
Its like that now, its like that now
