Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light Lyrics

Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light Video

It was late last night
I was feeling something wasn't right
There was not another soul in sight
Only you, only you
 
So we walked along
Though I knew that there was something wrong
And a feeling hit me, oh so strong
About you
 
Then you gazed up at me
And the answer was plain to see
'Cause I saw the light
In your eyes, in your eyes
 
Though we had our fling
I just never would suspect a thing
Till that little bell began to ring
In my head, in my head
 
But I tried to run
Though I knew it wouldn't help me none
'Cause I couldn't ever love no one
Or so I said
 
'Cause my feelings for you
Were just something I never knew
Till I saw the light
In your eyes, in your eyes
 
But I love you best
It's not something that I say in jest
'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest
In my eyes
 
And I ran out before
But I won't do it anymore
Can't you see the light in my eyes
In my eyes
In my eyes
In my eyes

No doubt you just might be the one for me

Be me, do what I believe in
And be myself
And I suggest everyone do the same thing
You do what makes you feel comfortable
Do what makes you feel happy

Third Eye Blind - New Girl Lyrics

Third Eye Blind - New Girl Video

I want a new girl, the kind everybody wants
The kind that shout it out and then we laugh it off
I'll be a terrorist and she will be a looter
Eye of Fatima painted on her motor scooter and
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
And then she gets in bed with you
 
I want a new girl
Who can show me how to have a good time
And get closer to my life's design
In the darkness
Candle light across my face
I feel myself fall into grace and
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
And then she gets in bed with you
 
Man, sometimes I get the feeling so left out
And then I'm here again
I'm crying in my beer again
Loneliness closes down like a jail
This is a lonely tale
I'm singing in my jail cell
She's got a smile so wide to ease the pain
The pain I'm going through
And then she gets in bed with you, (you, you, you)
She's brand new, she's brand new, she's brand new
 
We walk Manhattan in a dark silver suit
In the blowing wind, no demons persecuted
And in the darkness, candle light across my face
In my mind I see
She's got a smile so wide it eats the pain
The pain I'm going through
And then she gets in bed with you (you, you, you)
She's brand new, she's brand new, she's brand new
 
Man, sometimes I get the feeling so left out
But then I'm here again
I'm crying in my beer again
Loneliness closes down like a jail
This is a lonely tale
This is a jail cell
She puts on eye shadow
A deeper shade, a deeper shade of blue
I'm very pleased with meeting you
She's got a smile so wide to ease the pain
The pain I'm going through
But then she gets in bed with you

The Script - If You Could See Me Now Lyrics

The Script - If You Could See Me Now Video

(Oh if you could see me now)
 
(Oh if you could see me now)
 
It was February 14 Valentines Day
The roses came but they took you away
Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm
Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone
And I'll never get to show you these songs
Dad you should see the tours that I'm on
I see you standing there next to Mom
Both singing along, yeah arm in arm
And there are days when I'm losing my faith
Because the man wasn't good he was great
He'd say Music was the home for your pain
And explained I was young, he would say
Take that rage, put it on a page
Take that page to the stage
Blow the roof off the place
I'm trying to make you proud
Do everything you did
I hope you're up there with God saying That's my kid!
 
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
 
(Oh if you could see me now)
 
If you could see me now would you recognize me?
Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me?
Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face
Put your hand on my heart that was cold
As the day you were taken away
I know it's been a while but I can see you clear as day
Right now, I wish I could hear you say
I drink too much, and I smoke too much dutch
But if you can't see me now that shit's a must
You used to say I wont know a wind until it crossed me
Like I wont know real love 'til I've loved and I've lost it
So if you lost a sister, someone's lost a mom
And if you lost a dad then someone's lost a son
And they're all missing out, yeah they're all missing out
So if you get a second to look down on me now
Mom, Dad I'm just missing you now
 
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
 
Oh, oh
Would you call me a saint or a sinner?
Would you love me a loser or winner?
Oh, oh
When I see my face in the mirror
We look so alike that it makes me shiver
 
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Yeah I'm just missing you now
 
I still look for your face in the crowd
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow
Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)
 
If you could see, you could see me now
If you could see, you could see me now

The Game - Westside Story Lyrics

The Game - Westside Story Video

Crip niggas, Blood niggas, Ese's, Asians
Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, White Boys, Jamaicans
Latin Kings, Disciples, Vicelords, Hatians
All these muthafuckers been patiently waitin'
Since the west coast fell off the steets been watchin'
The west coast never fell off I was sleep in Compton
Aftermath been here the beats been knockin'
Nate Dogg doin' his thing DPG still poppin'
I got California love fuckin' bitches to that Pac shit
& westside connection been had it locked bitch
I'm in the rear view my gun's is cockin'
I'll put red dots on that nigga head like rodman
All stars, phat laces, gun charge, court cases
Faught that, not guilty I'm back
Niggas hate me been there, done that, sold crack
Got jacked, got shot, came back jumped on Dre's back, payback
Homey I'm bringin' CA back
& I don't do button up shirts or drive Mayback's
All you old record labels tryin' to advance
Aftermath bitch take it like a muthafuckin' man.
 
If you take a look in my eyes
You see I'll be a gangsta 'til I die
That California chronic got me so high
Game tell them where you from
Nigga Westside! x2
 
I'm lowridin' homey, 6 Trey impala
Gold D spinnin' chrome hydraulics
Run up on my low-low you stop breathin'
Hollow tips make niggas disappear like houdini
Gang bangin' is real
Homey I'm livin' proof like Snoop Dogg C-Walkin' on top of the devil's roof
Rap critics wanna converse about this & that
Cause red strings in this converse & this a Dre track
Keep jibberin' jabberin' I'll pull a .38 magnum
& get the clickin' & clackin'
Ya homies will wanna know what happened
Come to Compton & see Thriller like Michael Jackson
I might be Spike Lee, All this gun clappin'
Prior to rappin' I was drug traffic
In the dope spot playin' John Madden
Homey I ain't braggin' I took 5
You wanna die? ...Run up on that black 745...
 
If you take a look in my eyes
You see I'll be a gangsta 'til I die
That California chronic got me so high
Game tell them where you from
Nigga Westside! x2
 
New York New York, big city of dreams
I got my L.A. Dodger fitted on I'm doin' my thing
Got me fuckin' wit G-Unit you know the drama that brings
I got niggas in Westside Compton & Southside Queen's
& Buck told me in Cashville I'm good when I come through
So I don't gotta tuck in my chain like DJ Po'
I'm gangsta more like Deebo when he was Zeus
Play bishop I paint that picture now who got the juice
You niggas is nuts so, I take off your roof
Leave your ass streched out like a Cadillac Coupe
God gotta let me in Heaven all the shit I been through
I was an OG in the hood before I turned 22
Homey I'll let the .38 special rip through that vest
& I now Ion contemplatin' whether or not he left that shit on the dresser
Got Compton on my back
I'm startin' to feel the pressure
I'm lyrically Kool G. Rappin' these Dre Records.
 
If you take a look in my eyes
You see I'll be a gangsta 'til I die
That California chronic got me so high
Game tell them where you from
Nigga Westside! x2

The Game - The Documentary Lyrics

The Game - The Documentary Video

Boy talks to lady to start the song)
 
(Verse 1 Game (DRE))
What happened in hip hop
That got Pac and Big shot
The thicks plots
Now every rapper claim
He let his clique pop
But even myself tote a gun
And know to run then get shot
Ive been there before
Now im fuckin with Doc
(Gotta do them Calvin Broadus numbers)
If not i push rocks
Anticipatin my encarceration
Media think im fakin like Mason
But when it comes to mase
Fuck Off Kelly i dont take it in the face
I find out who sprayed it
I'm putting you under the pavement
No buddhist, priest, catholic, or baptist pastor can save him
Im far from religious
But i got beliefs, so i put
Cannary yellow diamonds
In my jesus piece
I came back from the dead
Without a part of my chest
Layed in a hospital bed on cardiac arrest
I waited for 3 years
While everybody else dropped
Now i understand why NAS
Did a song with his pops
 
(CHORUS x2)
 
Im ready to die
Without a reasonable doubt
Smoke chronic and hit it
Doggy style before i go out
Until they sign my death certificate
All eyez on me
Im still at it, illmatic
And thats THE DOCUMENTARY
 
(Verse 2)
 
If i die my niggas, fuck it
I did a song with Mary Blige, my niggas
Got a hook from Faith
No verse from Jay
I guess on westside story
He thought i spit in his face
Told Ed Lover and Money Luv
I was talkin to Ja
With that mayback line
It was payback time
Keep fuckin with me nigga
Ill put you under me
Take your car and trade it in
For eight 3 hundred C's
If you cross my T
I'll dot your Eyes
You do life in a cementary
Ill do mine with Shyne
Come home sit in the thrown
With my legs crossed
And my air force
Middle finger up
Fuck the world
Cause im feelin like Puff
When Life After Death hit
Mo' money, mo' problems
And i lost my best friend
Im the second dopest nigga
From compton u'll ever hear
The first nigga only put out albums
Every 7 years (haha)
 
(Game (Commentator))
(You know what speakin of Jay
That just makes me roll down
Now your song westside story)
Ohh Ohh
(You got a line that says
Dont wear throwbacks
Or drive, ride in maybacks,
Is that a shot at Jay?)
Naa, i was talkin about Ja Rule
Yeah, So, Yeah, i got a lot of
Respect for Jay
You know what im saying
I never take shots at legends
Thats just something i dont do
 
(Verse 3 Game (Busta))
Let me tell you why i do this shit
Im a son of a gun
Cause moms was a hoover crip
First day i got signed
I had to prove i spit
Freestyle with Busta Rhymes
(son, duke is sick)
The prodigee' of Doc Dre.
I could finally put the shoes on
Now that the rumors of Rakim and Q gone
They say truth hurts
Sunk, like quick sand
Dont stop me in traffic
And ask about hitman
I gotta restore the feelin
It crawled from under the rock
After the dog pound
Crushed the buildings
I got a family to feed
Im the middle of 9 children
We can talk about a loan
After i sell 5 million
If i tell you i aint Game
And i dont know Dre.
You gonn do me like X-Zibit
And cut half of my face?
I take all the credit
For putting the west
Back on the map
If you aint feelin that
Guess I'm Gorilla Black!!!
 
(CHORUS x1)
 
Im ready to die
Without a reasonable doubt
Smoke chronic and hit it
Doggy style before i go out
Until they sign my death certificate
All eyez on me
Im still at it, illmatic
And thats THE DOCUMENTARY

The Fray - Fall Away Lyrics

The Fray - Fall Away Video

You swear you recall nothing at all
That could make you come back down
You made up your mind to leave it all behind
Now you're forced to fight it out
 
You fall away from your past
But it's following you
 
You left something undone, it's now your rerun
It's the one you can't erase
You should have made it right, so you wouldn't have to fight
To put a smile back on your face
 
You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away
 
Something I've done that I can't outrun
Maybe you should wait maybe you should run
But there's something you've said that can't be undone
 
And you fall away from your past
But It's following you
 
You fall away
It's following you

The Corrs - Forgiven Not Forgotten Lyrics

The Corrs - Forgiven Not Forgotten Video

All alone, staring on
Watching her life go by
When her days are grey and her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one-eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed
Has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven
But not forgotten
 
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
 
A bleeding heart torn apart
Left on an icy grave
In their room where they once lay face to face
And nothing could get in the way
But now the memories of a man are haunting her days
And the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven
But not forgotten
 
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
 
Still alone, staring on
Wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven
But not forgotten
 
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, you're not forgotten

The Band Perry - Done. Lyrics

The Band Perry - Done. Video

You've been wearing that crown and tearing me down
It's been a while since you've treated me right
You strung me along for far too long cause I never gave up the fight
Until now
 
It's gonna hit you hard 'til you see stars
It's gonna put through you a world of hurt
Oh I don't believe in getting even but giving what you deserve
Oh my, oh my
 
Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one page I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
I don't wanna be your just for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
Done
 
You crossed the line too many times,
I'm gonna put you in your place
You play with dynamite, don't be surprised when I blow up in your face
Oh my, oh my
 
Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one page I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
Don't wanna be part of for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
 
(Done) With your selfish ways
(Done) And all the games you play
I'm through with you and everything you say
 
Mama told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
 
Mama always told me that I should play nice
But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one page I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la di da
I don't wanna be your just for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done
All I wanna be is done
Oh
 
Hey hey ooh,
I wanna be done (so done)
So done (so done)
So done

Testament - Trail Of Tears Lyrics

Testament - Trail Of Tears Video

See the sun as the day is done
Life is of the broken ones
Some will stray as time will come
All their lives they live it well
Red man proud and giving hell
Some stand and shining tall
 
Can you hear them call?
 
See the sun as it's setting still
Tears fall from a warrior
Damn those who I feel
Set a trail to the promised land
Mother and child holding hand in hand
Through the snow or through the sands
 
All across the land...
 
The full moon's rising from the sky
A warrior's riding
Ride with the wind so far away
The spirits will guide you
No more sorrow, don't look back
Your freedom will follow
You're flying so free, can't you see
On the trail of tears
 
-Solo-
 
The full moon's rising from the sky
A warrior's riding
Ride with the wind so far away
The spirits will guide you
No more sorrow, don't look back
Your freedom will follow
You're flying so free, so can't you see
On the trail of tears
