Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song) (1977)



Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said,
"Sonny, move out to the country."
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attackackackackackack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?

And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillacacacacacacacac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders

And It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?

And if that's what you have in mind
yeah if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm

I'm movin' out...

16 Horsepower - Black Soul Choir (1996)



No man ever seen the face of his foe no
He ain't made of flesh and bone
He's the one who sits up close beside you girl, and When he's there you are alone

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way

No man ever seen the face of my Lord no
Not since he left his skin
He's the one you keep cold on the outside girl, he's At your door let him in

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way

I will forgive your wrongs, I am Abel
For my own I feel great shame
I will offer up a brick to the back of your head boy
If I was Cain

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongues singin'
In the black soul choir

Every man is evil yes and every man's a liar
Unashamed with the wicked tongue
The black soul choir

Oh, he rises in my way
Oh, he rises in my way.

Guadalcanal Diary - Trail Of Tears (1985)



The Sun hangs low in the Western sky
I bow my head and remember now
Someone's lips pressed close to mine
Her cool hand upon my brow

Hell burns hot for a killer 's heart
A shallow grave in an unmarked plot
Crack of gunfire in the dark
Hand in hand we'll walk at daybreak

One wore black (x3)

The trail of tears is winding on
Many pass along the road
Dusty soldiers march along
As they file one by one

One wore black (x3)

Trail of tears is winding on
Frightened soldier run no more
Arm and arm with lovers gone
No one passes on the road

Two girls wait at the railroad track
For their soldiers to come back
Knowing this will be their last
One wore blue and one wore black

One wore black...

Valerie June - The Hour (2013)



I was on my way back home
My heart was like a stone
With the stars up in the sky
As they watched us say goodbye
It won't hide or disguise
My love, you cry
As we say goodbye
The time, was slow
I didn't want to see you go
Oh no, oh no

The hour tell you no lies
The hour tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour tell you no lies

There were times he raised his hand
And I could not understand
But you know my memory
We never could agree
It won't hide or disguise
Time, sweet time
Keeping me and mine
You, stay true
Spite of all of you
Oh woe, oh woe

The hour tell you no lies
The hour tell you no lies
Tell you no lies for the sky
The hour tell you no lies.

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.

Parra for Cuva ft. Anna Naklab - Wicked Games (2014)



The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one.

Joe Bonamassa - Oh Beautiful! (2014)



Oh Beautiful
Oh beautiful,if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful why you so blue?
If you can only see the way I see you

Oh gravity weighing on my soul
Keeps bringing you round back to me
Like dirt to a stone
Oh gravity don't you ever go to sleep
Might wake up in the morning
and she'll be gone from your reach

Oh beautiful, if you were mine
I would write you letters and pour you sweet wine
Oh beautiful, why you so blue?
If you only can see the way I see you.....

Of Monsters and Men - Six Weeks (2012)



Slow, slow me down,
Her blood, on my bones.
Let go, lay to rest.

We fall, we fall, we fall,
We fall to the ground.

Sleep, sleep all night
While the young, they wait alone.
So get up, shake the rust.
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl,
We crawl on the ground.

Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

A wolf, wolf and I,
We share the same cold meal.
I float on, float on down.
We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

We ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all
Ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all
Ride, we ride, we ride
We ride it all out.

[x4:]
Alone, I fight these animals.
Alone, until I get home.

Coming back, I'm coming back.
Coming back, I'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home

[x3:]
Coming back, I'm coming back.
Coming back, I'm coming back.
She follows me into the woods,
Takes me home

Thurston Moore - Speak To The Wild (2014)



Speak to the wild
reach the for wire
protect your child
from empty empire

the king has come to join the band

remove your wings
and meet us near the fire
extinguish things
of earthly desire

the king has come to meet the band
the king has come with no demand

don't let the dark get you lost
your free will has come in fire and frost

speak to the wild
reach for the wire
protect your child
from empty empire

the king has come to join the band

remove your wings
and meet us near the fire
extinguish things
of earthly desire

the king has come to meet the band
the king has come with no demand

don't let the dark get you lost
your free will has come in fire and frost

[Instrumental break]

speak to the wild
reach for the wire
protect your child
from empty empire

the king has come to join the band

remove your wings
and meet us near the fire

the king has come with no demand

don't let the dark get you lost
your free will has come in fire and frost.
