Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) - Styx

Relax...Take it easy...

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Why must you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it.

Burning Down the House - Talking Heads

Ah
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool, babies – strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight, wait 'til the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket, pack your bag, it's time for jumping overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far, maybe you know where you are
Fighting fire with fire, ah!

All wet, here, you might need a raincoat
Shake-down, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty-five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place, sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work say, "Baby, what did you expect?"
Gonna burst into flame, ah

Burning down the house

My house is out of the ordinary
That's right, don't wanna hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothing, yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire, ah

Step Into My Power - Modern Headspace

 

I'm feeling good
I just walked out of the shower
Quantum jumped into my new life
And step into my power like
Aye
Today's gon be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
Aye
Today's gon be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
Aye
Today's gon be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
I finally figured out
Just who I am
And what I want
It's time that my potential
Makes up for the time I lost
Chasing dreams that weren't mine
Planted in my subconscious mind
Always felt like I was wrong
But I was just learning what's right
And I've taken the time to sit and ponder
What am I doing here
With all of life's wonders
Journal and meditate
Vibrate higher and resonate
Focus deliberately and create a life
I don't wanna escape
Aye
Today's gonna be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
Aye
Today's gonna be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
Aye
Today's gonna be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
Aye
Today's gonna be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me
I'm feeling good
I just walked out of the shower
Quantum jumped into my new life
And step into my power like
Aye
Today's gonna be a good day
Aye
I'm in alignment with the new me 

Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some dryer clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep

Please God tell me that I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around
I could hide out under there
I just made you say "underwear"
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to see the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Try to figure out what all this is for
(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to see the world beyond your front door
(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to figure out what all this is for

Sweet Transvestite - Tim Curry

How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Don't get strung out by the way that I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a girl by the light of day
But by night I'm one hell of a lover

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania

So let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie

I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry
We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car
We don't want to be any worry

So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that?
Well babies, don't you panic
By the light of the night when it all seems alright
I'll get you a satanic mechanic

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania.

So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite?
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my tension

I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Sensational, Transylvania.

So come up to the lab. And see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici... pation!
But maybe the rain isn't really to blame
So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton

Tumble outta bed
And I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch
And try to come to life

Jump in the shower
And the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street
The traffic starts jumpin'
The folks like me on the job from 9 to 5

Workin' 9 to 5,
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I
Would deserve a fair promotion
Want to move ahead
But the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me

They let you dream
Just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step
On the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams
He'll never take away

You're in the same boat
With a lot of your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
'N' the tide's gonna turn
And it's all gonna roll your way

Workin' 9 to 5
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

9 to 5, whoa
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy
If you let it

9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet

Working 9 to 5
 

Love Is Gonna Bring Us Back Alive - Rickie Lee Jones

 

Love's gonna bring us back alive
Love's gonna bring us back alive
Over mountains where no one goes
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
We've been runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta keep runnin'
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Till love brings us back alive

We've been outlaws on the run
Sometimes outlaws on the run
I was just a baby when I fired my gun
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
That's why I keep a-runnin', runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Gotta keep a-runnin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Till love brings us back alive

Well, the river's only water
And the mountain's only gold
They'll get old
Tell me, will you walk through this world alone?

Over mountains
We'll come home
Through the desert
We're gonna come home
There's no water
Where this wind has blown
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Well the rain come down
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
But we can't stop now
Oh baby, love bring us back alive

Hey! Hey!

Flying Cowboys - Rickie Lee Jones

Down there by the river is a man
Whose horn is twisted into shapes
Unknown to the wicked and the wise
And he bears the look of an animal
Who's seen things no animal should ever see
He has been driven beyond all towns
And all the systems until now though it is
Long past too far he keeps going

Because it's a desert
Because it's a desert

We come to the river
We'll walk away from all this now
We come to the water
We'll walk away from all this now

She first saw him he was standing in the doorway
Illuminated from behind by a light
Though imaginary posses chased them
To these distant adobes
Standing on the cliffs today
I thought I saw you below
My shadow growing smaller

It's a desert because
Because it's a desert
They'll be asking me about you forever
I guess

We come to the river
We'll walk away from all this now
We come to the water
We'll walk away from all this now

Long coats on the prairie
Lying in the dust
Who can I turn to?
Who can I trust?
Were you walking on the water?
Playing in the sun?
But the world is turning faster
Than it did when I was young

When I was young
When I was young

Oh, when I was young I was a wild, wild one

On Saturday Afternoons in 1963 - Rickie Lee Jones

 

The most as you'll ever go
Is back where you used to know
If grown-ups could laugh this slow
Where as you watch the hour snow
Years may go by

So hold on to your special friend
Here, you'll need something to keep her in
"Now you stay inside this foolish grin..."
Though any day your secrets end
Then again
Years may go by

You saved your own special friend
'Cause here you need something to hide her in
And you stay inside that foolish grin
When everyday now secrets end
Oh, and then again
Years may go by

Eternity - Alex Warren

Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it never was
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)

It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know

And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
Someone you don't know (Whoa)
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

Spiritual Peace and Happiness – Calm Energy, Pure Love, Deep Peace | Lenzspot

Close your eyes, breathe it in
Let the stillness begin
Feel the light in your chest
Let your soul find rest 
You've been chasing, always trying
Running fast, but never finding
What was waiting deep inside
A peace that never hides
No more fear, no more fight
Just the calm of endless light 
When you let go, you'll see 
The love that sets you free
Spiritual peace and happiness
]It's not out there, it's within your chest 
When you stop the noise and listen close 
You'll find the truth your spirit knows
Spiritual peace and happiness
You were born with all of this 
Let the light wash over you 
And feel your heart renew 
And feel your heart renew
Walk slow, breathe deep, stay kind
Leave the heavy world behind
Every tear, every scar
Led you right to where you are
You don't need to prove your worth 
You've been magic since your birth
Every moment, every breath 
Is love that never left 
Spiritual peace and happiness
It's not out there, it's within your chest 
When you stop the noise and listen close 
You'll find the truth your spirit knows 
Spiritual peace and happiness 
You were born with all of this 
Let the light wash over you 
And feel your heart renew 
And feel your heart renew
Let go, be free, let your soul align 
You're divine by design 
Every step, every smile, every day 
Peace and happiness will stay

Loosen - Aly Halpert

Loosen, loosen, baby
You don't have to carry
The weight of the world in your muscles and bones
Let go, let go, let go

Loosen, loosen, baby
You don't have to carry
The weight of the world in your muscles and bones
Let go, let go, let go

Loosen, loosen, baby
You don't have to carry
The weight of the world in your muscles and bones
Let go, let go, let go

Loosen, loosen, baby
You don't have to carry
The weight of the world in your muscles and bones
Let go, let go, let go

Holy breath, and holy name
Will you ease, will you ease this pain
Holy breath, and holy name
Will you ease, will you ease this pain

Holy breath (Loosen, loosen, baby)
And holy name (You don't have to carry)
Will you ease (The weight of the world in your muscles and bones)
Will you ease this pain (Let go, let go, let go)

Loosen, loosen, baby (Holy breath)
You don't have to carry (and holy name)
The weight of the world in your muscles and bones (Will you ease)
Let go, let go, let go (Will you ease this pain)

Wild I Am - Vocal Few

I've been walking around this town
And I've decided I don't ever wanna be another face in the crowd
I've been talking to people I meet
Saying, "I've been thinking about leaving and I'm taking next to nothing with me"

And I know that public opinion says that I should settle down
But there's something inside my heart that fights against the crowd

And it is wild, wild, wild, I am

I've been thinking of things I don't know
And I'm not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go
You've got your convictions and I've got mine
But if you're trying to tame the lion in me it'll be a waste of your time

And I know that public opinion says to be a realist
But if you tame the beast in me, then I would not exist

'Cause I am wild, wild, wild, I am
'Cause I am wild, wild, wild, I am

Someday - OneRepublic

 

Some days, I'm treading the water
And feel like it's getting deep
Some nights, I drown in the weight
Of the things that I think I need
Sometimes, I feel incomplete, yeah
But you always say to me, say to me

Oh, you say, "Someday when we're older
We'll be shining like we're gold
Yeah, won't we? (Won't we?) Won't we? (Won't we?)
And someday, when we're older
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Babe happy (happy), happy"
Oh, you say, "Someday when we're older
We won't worry 'bout the things
That we don't need, we don't need
Yeah, one day down the line
Before we both run out of time, you're gonna see
That someday, we'll be all that we need"
Someday, we'll be all that we need

I've been the best, been the worst
Been a ghost in a crowded room
(Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I took a chance, took a turn
Took a dive, and it led to you
(Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
So many times that I wish
We could be anywhere but here
So many times that I wish
I could see what you see so clear, so clear

Oh, you say, "Someday, when we're older
We'll be shining like we're gold
Yeah, won't we? (Won't we?) Won't we? (Won't we?) Yeah
And someday, when we're older
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Babe happy (happy), happy"
Oh, you say, "Someday, when we're older
We won't worry 'bout the things
That we don't need (we don't need), we don't need
Yeah, one day, down the line
Before we both run out of time, you're gonna see
That someday, we'll be all that we need"
Someday, we'll be all that we need

Oh, you say, "Someday, when we're older
We'll be shining like we're gold
Yeah, won't we? Won't we?
Someday, down the line
Before we both run out of time, you're gonna see
That someday, we'll be all that we need"

All Time Low - Jon Bellion

I was the knight in shining armour in your movie
Would put your lips on mine and love the aftertaste
Now I'm a ghost, I call your name, you look right through me
You're the reason I'm alone and masturbate

I, I, I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie, lie, lie, l-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it
That I'm at an all time...

Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

I was the prototype like 3 stacks on that CD
An example of the perfect candidate
Now all your girlfriends say that you don't want to see me
You're the reason that I just can't concentrate

I, I, I, I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie, lie, lie, l-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it
That I'm at an all time...

Low, low, low-low-low, low, low, low, low

I, I, I, I've been trying to fix my pride
But that shit's broken, that shit's broken
Lie, lie, lie, lie, l-lie, I tried to hide
But now you know it
That I'm at an all time...

Low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Lie, l-lie, I try to hide
But now you know it
I'm at an all time...

Hey!

Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

Of Days Gone By - Bruce Maginnis, Kate Henshaw

 

The leaves are falling and summer's gone 
She's walking slowly, it won't be long 
The Greyhound bus pulls out, turns down a street 
There's no one coming out to see her leave 
She won't need those pretty clothes, gonna be a factory girl 
Just like her mama said, there'll be no fairy tales 
City lights and lonely nights 
And no one around to lend a hand 
She kept one picture and some old letters 
A faded ribbon of days gone by 
She tied her long hair... 
 Folds up her pretty clothes with tears on her face 
She knows she's dreaming, she'll never...

Lemon Drop - Raynes

Soon I'll be at the top
And probably choke on a lemon drop
It's really embarrassing
But this look is everything

I'm willing to brave disgrace
And leave just a pretty blue face
Well, maybe it seems insane
But at least you're entertained

They fall for you when they see that you've got away
It's all for you, but they beg for it anyway
They love the lines that you hardly remember at all
It's better if you live fast and leave too soon

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop
Until it gets even sweeter
Suckin' on a lemon drop
I'll taste the shock 'til it melts away
How long before I finally forget the place
That left such a sour taste?
But the sugar rush is alright

The rush is alright
The rush is alright

So is it overkill
If I move to Beverly Hills
And savor the kinds of thrills
That fit through a 20-dollar bill?

I'll probably lose control
And tie a ticket to my tumble-down soul
Or maybe I'll make the trade
To be the prince of another parade

They dress me up and I throw them another smile
Impress the party, but I'm still my mother's child
All fragile bones, I should never be left alone
If I'm lucky, I can live fast
And leave too soon

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop
Until it gets even sweeter
Suckin' on a lemon drop
I'll taste the shock 'til it melts away
How long before I finally forget the place
That left such a sour taste?
But the sugar rush is alright

The rush is alright
The rush is alright

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop
Until it gets even sweeter
Suckin' on a lemon drop
I'll taste the shock 'til it melts away
How long before I finally forget the place
That left such a sour taste?
But the sugar rush is alright

I'm telling 'em that I won't stop
Until it gets even sweeter
Suckin' on a lemon drop
I'll taste the shock 'til it melts away
How long before I finally forget the place
That left such a sour taste?
But the sugar rush is alright

December - Collective Soul

 

Why drink the water from my hand
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain
Your cup runneth over again

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your basic needs
Ambiance and vanity

Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

(December promise you gave unto me)
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
(December whispers of treachery)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
(December clouds are now covering me)
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
(December songs no longer I sing)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

(December promise you gave unto me)
Don't scream about, don't think aloud
(December whispers of treachery)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out
(December clouds are now covering me)
Don't worry 'bout, don't speak of doubt
(December songs no longer I sing)
Turn your head, now, baby, just spit me out

By Way of Sorrow - Cry Cry Cry

You've been taken by the wind
You have known the kiss of sorrows
Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger

You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years

You have drunk a bitter wine
With none to be your comfort
You who once were left behind
Will be welcome at love's tables

You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years

You will one day come to know
You will one day come to know

All the nights that joy has slept
Will awake to days of laughter
All the tears that you have wept
You'll dance in freedom ever after

You have come by way of sorrow
You have come by way of tears
But you'll reach your destiny
Meant to find you all these years
Meant to find you all these years
