I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, baby, don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before
I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can't stay
Now, Baby, pack your leaving trunk, you know we got to leave today
Just exactly where we going I can not say
But we might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause it's a brand new game, and I want to play
No use of you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you got a home as long as I've got mine.
[Kelly Rowland]
Oh lover, don’t you dare slow down
Go longer, you can last more rounds
Push harder, your almost there now
So go lover, make my mother proud
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here
So baby I’mma be your motivation

Oh Lover, when you call my name

So lover, dont it make me rain
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there

[Lil Wayne]
Uh, girl I turn that thing into a rainforest
Rain on my head, call that brainstorming
Yeah this is deep, but oh, I go deeper
Make you lose yourself, and finders keepers
It go green light, go Weezy go
I like to taste that sugar, that sweet and low
But hold up wait, new position
I put her on my plate then do the dishes
Lyrics courtesy of www.killerhiphop.com
She my motivation, I’m her transportation
Cause I let her ride, while I drive her crazy
Then I just keep going going, like I’m racing
When I’m done she hold me like a conversation
Weezy, baby
[Kelly Rowland]
And when were done, I don’t wanna feel my legs
And when were done, I just wanna feel youre hands all over me baby
You can’t stop there, music still playin in the background
And you’re almost there
You can do it, I believe in you baby
So close from here.
There once was a woman A strange kind of woman The kind that gets written down in history Her name was nancy Her face was nothing fancy She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her Everybody loved her She loved everyone and gave them good return I tried to take her I even tried to break her She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you I spent my money as I took my turn I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have
She looked like a raver But I could never please her On wednesday mornings boy you can't go far I couldn't get her But things got better, she said Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star ,,Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star ,Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star.
I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can't get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh Why Oh Why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
It's a 22
I Call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What do you expect me to do
If you're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm
I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm bout to leave town
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
Man Down
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big ol' crowd

And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learned to trust
Not run away
It was no time to play
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh, mmm
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it, woo
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Oh, ha, you didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together
You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better
And for love's sake
Each mistake
Oh, you forgave
And soon both of us
Learned to trust
Not run away
It was no time to play
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh
Yes, it is
Solid
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us
Knock, knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to
And with that feeling
We were willing
To take a chance
So, against all odds
We made a start
We got serious
This wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up
And build it up
And build it up
And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is
Oh, that's what we've got, oh
Solid, yes it is
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
Solid
Solid as a rock
You know it, well
You know it, baby
Solid
Solid as a rock
Solid
Don't leave me, baby
Solid as a rock
Solid
Solid as a rock
Solid
Solid as a rock
Good, good thing
Solid (solid, solid, solid, solid, solid)
As a rock.
Ο Cat Stevens ζήτησε δικαιώματα τα οποία και πήρε, από τους The Flaming Lips για το τραγούδι Fight Test που μοιάζει πολύ μουσικά με το δικό του το Father and Son.
Cat Stevens - Father and Son (1970)
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just relax, take it easy.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,
To be calm when you've found something going on.
But take your time, think a lot,
Why, think of everything you've got.
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.
Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.
It's always been the same, same old story.
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Father
It's not time to make a change,
Just sit down, take it slowly.
You're still young, that's your fault,
There's so much you have to go through.
Find a girl, settle down,
if you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.
Son
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
The Flaming Lips - Fight Test (2003)
THE TEST BEGINS - NOW (spoken)
I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take you -
I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery
Η ταινία για το νέο αλμπουμ των TV On The Radio, Nine Types of Light, φτιαγμένη με μεράκι από τους ίδιους, περιλαμβάνει όλα τα τραγούδια του δίσκου όπως επίσης συνεντέυξεις απλών ανθρώπων που μιλούν για τα όνειρα, την αγάπη, τη φήμη και το μέλλον...
