J Cole - Be Free (2014)

And I'm in denial
And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile
I know, I'd be on the go
And it ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul
No, no

All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

Can you tell me why every time I step outside
I see my niggas die,
Ooh, I'm letting you know
That it ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul
Oh, no

All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is take the chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

Are we all alone fighting on our own
Please give me a chance
I don't wanna dance
Something's got me down
I will stand my ground,
Don't just stand around
Don't just stand around

All we want to do is take these chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free

All we want to do is take these chains off
All we want to do is break the chains off
All we want to do is be free
All we want to do is be free.

The Housemartins - Caravan Of Love (1986)

Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Are you ready for the time of your life?
It's time to stand up and fight
It's all right, it's all right
Hand in hand, we'll take a caravan to the marvel land

One by one we're gonna stand up with pride
Warm the carpet tonight, stand up, stand up
From the highest mountain, valley low
We'll join together, with hearts of gold

Now the children of the world can see
There's a better place for us to be
The place in which we were born
So neglected and torn apart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
Stand up, stand up, stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister, don't you know

We'll be living in a world of peace
On the day when everyone is free
We'll bring the young and the old
Won't you let your love flow, from your heart?

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love
Stand up, stand up, stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
Stand up, stand up, stand up

I'm your brother
I'm your brother, don't you know
She's my sister
She's my sister, don't you know

So are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

You'd better get ready
You'd better get ready
You'd better get ready
You'd better get ready.

Γιάννης Καλατζής - Ο Κουταλιανός (1972)

Στίχοι:  Λευτέρης Παπαδόπουλος
Μουσική:  Μάνος Λοΐζος
Σίδερα μασάει ο Κουταλιανός
τρένα σταματάει ο Κουταλιανός
πέτρες ροκανίζει ο Κουταλιανός
και βουνά γκρεμίζει ο Κουταλιανός.

Κι αν μασάει σίδερα και κάνει το λιοντάρι,
στο τσαρδί του ο Κουταλιανός
τρέμει σαν το ψάρι στην κυρά του μπρος
αχ πώς τη φοβάται ο φτωχός Κουταλιανός,
τρέμει σαν το ψάρι στην κυρά του μπρος
αλλά μην το πείτε κανενός.

Δένεται σε κόμπους ο Κουταλιανός
καταπίνει γλόμπους ο Κουταλιανός
είναι παλληκάρι ο Κουταλιανός
τίγρη και λιοντάρι ο Κουταλιανός.

Tears For Fears - Head Over Heels (1985)

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace
Against the child in your face

Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much

Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels

Ah, don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past
Now just how long will it last

No, no, no, have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers
Used to breathe in clean in air
(Nothing ever changes when you're acting your age)
And dreaming I'm a doctor
(Nothing gets done when you feel like a baby)

It's hard to be a man
When there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I feel so

Something happens and I'm head over heels

And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover

In my mind's eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how time flies.

Zaz - Je Veux (2010)

Donnez-moi une suite au Ritz, je n'en veux pas
Des bijoux de chez Chanel, je n'en veux pas
Donnez-moi une limousine, j'en ferais quoi?

Offrez-moi du personnel, j'en ferais quoi?
Un manoir a Neufchatel, ce n'est pas pour moi
Offrez-moi la tour Eiffel, j'en ferais quoi?...

Je veux d'l'amour, d'la joie, de la bonne humeur
Ce n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi, j'veux crever la main sur le coeur

Allons, ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité

J'en ai marre de vos bonnes manières, c'est trop pour moi
Moi, je mange avec les mains et j' suis comme ça!
J' parle fort et je suis franche, excusez-moi !

Finie l'hypocrisie, moi, j' me casse de là!
J'en ai marre des langues de bois, regardez-moi
Toute manière, J'vous en veux pas
Et j' suis comme ça, j' suis comme ça

Je veux d' l'amour, d' la joie, de la bonne humeur
C'n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi, j' veux crever la main sur le coeur

Allons, ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité

Je veux d' l'amour, d' la joie, de la bonne humeur
C'n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi, j' veux crever la main sur le coeur

Allons, ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité

Je veux d' l'amour, d' la joie, de la bonne humeur
C'n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi, j' veux crever la main sur le coeur

Allons, ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité.

Big Audio Dynamite - E=MC2 (1986)

Somebody I never met
But in a way I know
Didn`t think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Man dies first reel
People ask what`s the deal?
This ain`t how it`s supposed to be
Don`t like no aborigine

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery

Took a trip in Powis Square
Pop star dyed his hair
No fans to scream and shout
When mobsters came to flush him out
Gangland slaying underground
New identity must be found
On the left bank for a while
Insanity Bohemian style

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery

Met a dwarf that was no good
Dressed like little Red Riding Hood
Bad habit taking life
Calling card a six inch knife
Ran off really fast
Mumbled something `bout the past
Best sex I`ve ever seen
As if each moment was the last
Drops of blood colour slide
Funeral for his bride
But it`s him who`s really dead
Gets to take the funeral ride

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery

Space guy fell from the sky
Scratched my head and wondered why
Time slide into time
Across international dateline
Scientist eats bubblegum
Hall of fame baseball
Senators a Hoodlum
Big chiefs in the hall

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery

Stray thoughts fear to tread
Placed upon the screen instead
Shes my flame too hot to hold
Had to settle for her cold

Bloodlust - Greek God - Gold discovery
Gone bust - Tight wad - Slow recovery
Axe job - Flame thrower - Ironbar and gun
Betting shop - New owner - A walk in the sun

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery

Spread the news the Maestros back
With a beat - box soundtrack
The King of brains - Queen of the sack`
Executives have heart attack
It`s assault course celluloid
The money makers would avoid
Sometimes notions get reversed
Centre of the universe

Ritual ideas relativety
Only buildings no people prophecy
Timeslide place to hide nudge reality
Foresight minds wide magic imagery...

Styx - Mr. Roboto (1983)

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions-I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a saviour, forget what you know
I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo...domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem's plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity...
I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud (2014)

When your legs don't work like they used to before
And I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And, darling, I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are

So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are.

Mark Lanegan Band - Floor Of The Ocean (2014)

Hard times, walking in the sunshine
Crawling through a landslide
Guilty of some old crimes
Clear eyes, can’t avoid the searchlight
Hope that they don’t find me
Find me where I’m lying

Scars, bone and blood
Iron, clay and mud
Can I find my way
Can I mine my way
Through the core of emotion

Dumpsite, out along the roadside
Look into the cold sky
Look into your mind’s eye
Midnight, can’t escape the searchlight
Hope that they don’t catch me
Catch me where I’m riding

Scars, bone and blood
Iron, clay and mud
Gonna find my way
Gonna mine my way
Through the floor of the ocean

Hard times, walking in the sunshine
Crawling through a landslide
Guilty of some old crimes
Clear eyes, can’t avoid the searchlight
Hope that they don’t find me
Find me where I’m lying

Scars, bone and blood
Iron, clay and mud
Can I find my way
Can I mine my way
Through the core of emotion
Scars, bone and blood
Iron, clay and mud
Gonna find my way
Gonna mine my way
Through the floor of the ocean.
