Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache Lyrics

Wallflowers - 6th Avenue Heartache Video

Sirens ring, shots ring out
A stranger cries, screams out loud
I had my world strapped against my back
I held my hands, never knew how to act
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
 
Below me was a homeless man
Singing songs I knew complete
On the steps alone, his guitar in hand
His fifty years, stood where he stands
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
 
Walking home on those streets
The river winds move my feet
Subway steam, like silhouettes in dreams
They stood by me, just like moonbeams
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in, yeah
6th Avenue heartache
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in, hey
6th Avenue heartache
 
Look out the window, down upon that street
And gone like midnight was that man
But I see his six strings laying against that wall
And all his things, they all look so small
I got my fingers crossed on a shooting star
Just like me, he just moved on
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache
 
Now it's drawn me in
 
And the same black line that was drawn on you
Was drawn on me
And now it's drawn me in
6th Avenue heartache

Vonda Shepard - Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow Lyrics

Vonda Shepard - Baby Don't You Break My Heart Slow Video

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky
 
I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever
 
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
 
I like the way you'd hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you'd say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping
 
I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever
 
Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow
 
You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that we're together
I wanted our love to last forever
 
Well I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I'd rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don't you break my heart slow.

Hey girl is it cool if i'm honest
Just hold on you know that it's hard for me
To say things things things that i promised
And do things that i never follow through

But now i just gotta ask you something now

If you didn't give a second chance to a man like me
And what kind of woman would you be
If you turned your back on me on my knees
Cuz i deserve a second chance
To be the one you call your man
I'm doin everything i can
So girl don't you be crazy

The Corrs - Only When I Sleep Lyrics

The Corrs - Only When I Sleep Video

You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
 
It reaches through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast
 
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
 
And when I wake up from slumber
Your shadow's disappeared
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm working through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
 
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
 
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep -in my sleep-
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
 
It's only when I sleep
 
It's reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And clutches at my breast, yeah
 
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams -dreams-
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
But I only hear you breathe
 
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian high
 
But its only when I sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
 
Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian high
 
But its only when I sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down

Take That - Never Forget Lyrics

Take That - Never Forget Video

(And we've come so far,
And we've reached so high,
And we've looked each day and night in the eye,
And we're still so young,
And we hope for more) (Choir)
 
We've come a long way
But we're not too sure where we've been
We've had success
We've had good times
But remember this...
 
Been on this path of life for so long,
Feel I've walked a thousand miles,
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love,
Everybody's been there,
With danger on my mind I would stand on the line of hope,
And I knew I could make it,
Once I knew the boundaries I looked into the clouds and saw,
My face in the moonlight,
Just then I realised what a fool I could be,
Just 'cos I looked so high I don't have to see me,
Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still,
There's a road going down the other side of this hill
 
(Never)
Forget where you've come here from,
(Never)
Pretend that it's all real,
(Someday)
Soon this will all be someone else's dream,
This will be someone else's dream
 
Safe from the arms of disappointment for so long,
Feel each day we've come too far,
Yet each day seems to make much more,
Sure is good to be here,
I understand the meaning of I can't explain this feeling now,
And it feels so unreal,
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand that I make,
And the fact of reality
 
(Never)
Forget where you've come here from,
(Never)
Pretend that it's all real,
(Someday)
Soon this will all be someone else's dream,
This will be someone else's dream
 
And we've come so far, (Jason Orange)
And we've reached so high, (Jason Orange)
And we've looked each day and night in the eye, (Howard Donald)
And we're still so young, (Mark Owen)
And we hope for more, (Mark Owen)
But remember this, (Gary Barlow)
We're not invincible, (Gary Barlow)
We're not invincible no, (Gary Barlow)
We're only people, (Gary Barlow)
We're only people, (Gary Barlow)
(we're not invincible) (Choir)
Hey we're not invincible, (Robbie Williams)
We're not invincible, (Robbie Williams)
So again I'll tell you, (Howard Donald)
 
(chorus)x4

Steely Dan - Do It Again Lyrics

Steely Dan - Do It Again Video

In the morning, you go gunning
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in
But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singing
As they drag you by your feet
But the hangman isn't hanging
And they put you on the street
 
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' round and round
You go back, Jack, do it again
 
When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend
In a room with your two-timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one
And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smiling
You'll be on your knees tomorrow
 
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' round and round
You go back, Jack, do it again
 
Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gambling man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
 
Yeah, you go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' round and round
You go back, Jack, do it again

Seal - Crazy Lyrics

Seal - Crazy Video

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
 
Only child know...
 
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
 
And through a fractal on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
 
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy crazy crazy
 
Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of them got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it, get it, get it, yeah!
 
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
 
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy
No no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit
 
A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darling
In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe Oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy
 
Oh
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
No no never survive unless we get a little bit
 
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday

Seal - Amazing Lyrics

Seal - Amazing Video

Everyone says you're amazing
 
Say you don't know how to do it now
So you run
It's not that you're bleeding, but you're through with it now
So you run, so you run
 
I know that you need it, you can't live alone
So you run, so you run
 
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know who the real ones are cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anyone ask you?
 
Do you cry in your sleep and do you feel ok?
When you run
 
Thinking it's Doomsday you got to let it go
So you run, so you run
 
Pretend you don't see it, that we can live a lie
So you run, so you run
 
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know who the real ones are 'Cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When, when you hear everyone say you're amazing
Does anyone ask you?
 
Cause I know that you're real, amazing, amazing, amazing
 
Everyone says you're amazing now that you're clean
Only you know who the real ones are 'Cause you've seen
There's only one question I want to ask is it healing
When you...
Everyone says you're amazing
 
Everyone says you're amazing
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
Everyone says you're amazing
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
Everyone says you're amazing
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
(I want you to always feel you're amazing)
