Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On Lyrics

Del Amitri - Driving With The Brakes On Video

Driving through the long night
Trying to figure who's right and who's wrong
Now the kid has gone
I sit belted up tight
She sucks on a match light, glowing bronze
Steering on
 
And I might be more a man if I stopped this in its tracks
And said, come on, let's go home
But she's got the wheel,
And I've got nothing except what I have on
 
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
 
Trying to keep the mood right
Trying to steer the conversation from
The thing we've done
She shuts up the ashtray, I say it's a long way back now, hon
She just yawns
 
And we might get lost some place
So desolate that no one where we're from would ever come
But she's got the wheel and I've got to deal from now on
 
When you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
 
But unless the moon falls tonight
Unless continents collide
Nothing's gonna make me break from her side
 
'Cos when you're driving with the brakes on
When you're swimming with your boots on
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't
 
It's hard to say you love someone
And it's hard to say you don't

Def Leppard - Love Bites Lyrics

Def Leppard - Love Bites Video

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
 
When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of? Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies and say that it's forever?
Do you think twice or just touch and see?
Ooh, babe
Ooh yeah
 
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild and willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh, come on!
 
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
 
(Love bites, love bleeds) It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies) It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads) It's what I need
 
When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' through? How do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh, babe
 
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh!
 
(Love bites, love bleeds) It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies) It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads) It's what I need
 
Ohh yeah
 
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!
 
(Love bites, love bleeds) It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
 
(Love bites, love bleeds) It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies) It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads) It's what I need
 
If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes, it does
Bloody hell

Daughtry - Crawling Back To You Lyrics

Daughtry - Crawling Back To You Video

Lessons learned, bridges burned to the ground
And it's too late now to put out the fire
Tables turned and I'm the one who's burning now
Well, I'm doing alright 'til I close my eyes
And then I see your face and it's no surprise
 
Just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would, yeah
I swallow my pride
Now I'm crawling back to you
 
Yeah, I'm out of my head, can't wait any longer
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger
Just like that, like you said I'd do
Yeah, I'm crawling back to you
 
Time can heal
But the scars only hide the way you feel
And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging
On by a thread
 
When everything is said, I will regret it, yeah
I was doin' alright
Thought I could make it
Then I see your face and it's hard to fake it
 
Just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would, yeah
I swallow my pride
Now I'm crawling back to you
 
Yeah, I'm out of my head, can't wait any longer
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger
Just like that, like you said I'd do
Yeah, I'm crawling back to you
 
If you could find a way to forgive everything, I know you would
And I would take it all back, give if only I knew that I could
Lessons learned, and bridges burned to the ground
And it's too late now to put out the fire
 
And just like that I'm crawling back to you
Just like you said I would, yeah
I swallow my pride
Now I'm crawling back to you
 
Yeah, I'm out of my head, can't wait any longer
Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger
Just like that, like you said I'd do
Yeah I'm crawling back to you
 
Yeah, I'm crawling back to you
I'm crawling back to you
I'm crawling back to you

Collective Soul - She Said Lyrics

Collective Soul - She Said Video

She said, that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades
 
She said, she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said, she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth
 
She said, her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today
 
Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She said
Will you comfort and forgive me?
She said
 
She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
Yeah, she wishes all day
And then she prays all night
 
She said, she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
When it's moments like these
And she hates to be alone
 
Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She said
Will you comfort and forgive me?
She said
 
Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She said
Will you comfort and forgive me?
She said
 
Life's river shall rise
She said
Then only the strong shall survive
She said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She said
Will you comfort and forgive, forgive me?
She said
 
Forgive me
She said
Forgive me
She said

When the girl in your arms
Is the girl in you heart
Then you have got everything
When you are holding the dream
You have been dreaming you would hold
You're as rich as a king
So hold her tight
And never let her go
Day and night

Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
 
So hold her tight
And never let her go

Spend the lifetime of love
Make her yours for evermore
Make her yours for evermore

Chris Rea - Chisel Hill Lyrics

Chris Rea - Chisel Hill Video

Misty eyes on a misty day
Come across a place like this along your way
You walk straight in to that sweet and tender trap
And you know you're lost and found
And there ain't no going back
Spend the rest of your days playing all the hardest games
Just to get back to that place again
And memories oh how they stick to you
You know there ain't a thing, not a single thing you can do
On Chisel hill
 
I've been ten thousand miles from this place and seen it I swear
I've woke up happy thinking that I was there
It's the place I love, it's where I wanna be
And I won't give up until I get to see
A little something in there to call my own
Pass the time of day and head off home
The evening shadows on the dry stone walls
The night draws in and the ale house calls
And happy I will be
When the road goes no further than what I see
When past here it's nowhere to go
And I ain't gonna give up until I get see
Those angel eyes looking up at me
The prince of peace and time is standing still
On Chisel hill

Busta Rhymes - Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad Lyrics

Busta Rhymes - Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad Video

(feat. Flipmode Squad, Def Squad)
 
(Verse One: Jamal)
 
Taking you to the other terrain, we mash strictly for the cream
Here to kill your whole scene and your motherfuckin team
Little 'Mal, the raw dawg, I know you heard of me
You probably know some bitch niggaz who wanna murder me
Busta Reggie Murray Ramp and Mercy's all we need for disaster
For me the microphone master
Look, I crash ya, bash ya skull
Fucky with Mally G if you're trying to take a fall
Niggaz talk about killin and never get to it
Fuck the yappin, be true to it, do it
Steady scream about your East and your West side
But you ain't in it when it comes to the homicide
Niggaz better get up off that bullshit quick
Caught up in the limelight gettin way too slick
See em at the shows bout to rock they shit off
Gettin they peeps fucked up cause they block is soft
As for terror, I sever the best of MC's
Look, little Mally G trippin off these indo trees
About to murder label's jerkin but mercy us
Def Squad niggaz prophesize like the Perseus
Droppin degrees to zero with flatlines
Kill your whole entourage off with just one rhyme
One rhyme... one rhyme... just one rhyme
I don't give a fuck I kill em with just one rhyme
Woo, hah, heh, yahah, you wish that you could get with this
Terrorist, lyricist, for your era it's
My time to shine and I'm still payin dues
And I'ma be famous on either rap or the news, motherfucker
I only tell you nothin but the real it's
Tight up in the struggle tryin to get this fuckin meal, why?
Niggaz act shifty so I shift a long
Three tri three chrome, it's the same ol song
I seen the shades and the suedes from afar Pah
But hold up do you know who I are?
The M-A-Double, you want trouble you got it the spot is on
You blot it I got it then shot it it's hot up in your dome
Peace with the chrome piece that I pack
Remember fuck around and catch a Mack to your back
 
(Verse Two: Redman)
 
Who the fuck I be I, you cannot see I
Flabbergasted, blasted, my Magnum P.I.
Oops I lie, I got a cannon bout the size of Grand Canyon
I'm prime time, giving MC's Knots Landing
Duck, heavens to fuckin Merkatroid
I drop noise that employs the unbelievable
Recline like receding hairline, crime speaks fine
With a nine pull line blind keep mines up my sleeve until
You start to quiver, metabolism splits rivers
I rock so many broads I leave your entourage tender
Like bartenders mix liquor
I serve you over the rocks, I feed you to my flock, now time to click triggers
Manslaughter in alphabetical order for four quarters
Raw water turn sons to grandaughters
Ah ha ha ha ha! I bring trouble where, you sleep
So I double dare to bust you in your bubble bear, coat
Antidotes cause gunsmoke in Tokyo
MC's dosey do your mics up in this rodeo
My star roast em up by the thousands, millions, quadrillions
Shuttin down national state buildings with high ceilings
Funk Doc to the spot freeze
Creepin on MC's like Vietnamese in army fatigues
Def Squad representer
Hit yo' ass up from the bottom when you enter
 
(Verse Three: Keith Murray)
 
Hey yo once a crack head, always a tack head
You have no craftibility all that shit you talk is dead
As sex drugs and violence, balance the scales of reality
Y'all don't want no parts of Keith Murray
I'm nicety and sheisty, I get that ass iced deliciously
Niggaz ain't shit to me (word up)
You stupid niggaz always got somethin smart to say
And probably can't even spell TWA
My crew is like police pull up and park anywhere (ERRRRR)
Jump out and get it on right then and there (whassup whassup??)
Niggaz is pussy and ways and actions show it
Most of y'all niggaz dead, and don't even know it
And Def Squad L.O.D. for life (word up, yeah fuck your life)
Act trife I'll let my dog cold fuck your wife
 
(Interlude: Announcer)
 
Aiyyo, you just heard the sounds of Mally G
Redman, Keith Murray, bringin the ruckus, the Def Squad
Next up is the Flipmode Squad, this is Howard Cossell
First up to the ring Rampage the Last Boy Scout
Lord Have Mercy For, and the In-fer-mous
Busta Rhymes
 
(Verse Four: Rampage)
 
Two one two, I'm living life as a rugged MC
When I step up in your jam yo I'm V.I.P.
Niggaz and bitches be eyein me
I'm spontaneous, I'm wreckin brothers out the frame
Because I'm dangerous
I'm well known like Keith Murray and my boy Reggie Noble
Chickenheads get gassed, so they call me on my mobile *beeping*
I'm great distance like AT&T
I stroke like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Yo I Fades Them All like my man Mally G
Whip a nigga ass for free
And makin sure he see visions of me
Rampage the talk of the town
The stalker of New York that fucks up the underground (no doubt)
I'm comin thorough like a pack of Life Savers
Ask Marley Marl who's the real Future Flavors
My technique I freak seven days a week
I'm undefeated, you can see my Quantum Leap
I'm hittin brothers where it hurt, lyrical expert
Those who got no publishing they need to get jerked (no doubt)
A hundred percent, I gets down what I invent
Rap artists be dying to a certain extent
Sometimes they use the underground to make a comeback
That shit is wack, fade away and never come back
 
(Verse Five: Lord Have Mercy)
 
For now and forever, it's the, evil that men do
Mental, my inner center Winter
Frosted froze crews inventor, inventor
Invader, evacuate I collapse your major
Straights and lose minds
You're splits two times, for intruders, for these losers
My maneuvers, drop like lugers
Illegal, maybe Lethal, like Gibson's
Splittin blessings, with three Weapons
Lay in the cut like C-Sections, infestin the nine-six
For you mindless, niggaz I smack spineless
Or lay back like recliners, as inject jewels
As flesh, moves, when in vaginas, oooh, oooh ooh ooh
Corrupt your minors, like New York City's finest
Lineups, on LSD fine fust, in your sinus
Crush like chinas, opiuMC grinders
My dust, these rhymers I hijack like airliners
The infiltrator, creator, I'm sinful
Papers stay viscous like religious cults
Leaders that drop scriptures, and rock clips or assault heaters
My Flipmode niggaz, we're like Afghanistan guerillas
 
(Verse Six: Busta Rhymes)
 
If you want more information look listen and read
While I sit back and I roll another fat bag of weed
We about to take control of your set like cruise control speed
Satisfy my lyrical semen, plants my Johnny Apple-seed
Mental slave grip on your brain like white people
My music will dominate the population like black people
Utilize my efforts to execersize my inner thoughts
I capitalize on my many and various styles of all sorts
Hold down the forts smokin drinkin mad quarts
For sports talk to chickenheads in botty lik shorts
Let's get the cream so that we can move up in this fortress
Bounce to art galleries and purchase exotic portraits
Here we go again, another phenomenon when I get on
Busta Rhymes and my nigga named Stretch Armstrong
We represent the ultimate unit for the nine-season
Flipmode Squad will bust your shit for even the wrong reasons
Chaotic sample make a nigga wanna get down
Till they come through like the ATF and shut your shit down
Alcohol tobacco and firearms is how we movin
Raw rapid fire flows while the music keeps you niggaz groovin
I don't know who the fuck you really think you foolin
You're so far from up to par and your shit needs improvin
From your conversation the way you come across your shit is off
Malfunctionin my nigga you about to feel the real force
Lay you on your face while I beat you up your head with the holy cross
Exotic niggaz blastin off to the Land of the Lost
If you can't see this
I recommend some school for the blind by Helen Keller
Big ups to Lord Have Mercy, Rampage and the Cella Dwellas
Redman and the Rockafellas
Big ups to Mally G, Keith Murray sunny days and bad weathers
But still we travel the world like National Lampoon
It's Busta Rhymes for the whole entire ninety-six SO STAY TUNED!!!
Hahahahahahahahah
Flipmode COMPLETELY getting inside that ass
Def Squad, respek

Bruce Springsteen - Bad Moon Rising (John Fogerty/creedence Clearwater Revival) Lyrics

Bruce Springsteen - Bad Moon Rising (John Fogerty/creedence Clearwater Revival) Video

I see a bad moon rising
I see troubles on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today
 
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
 
I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end it's coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
 
Don't go 'round tonight
 
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
 
Hope you got your things together
Hope you're quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
 
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
 
Don't go 'round tonight
Well, it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
