I begin to wonder [Dannii Minogue]

When I'm walking down the street I call your name
Inside my head I go insane
Don't you know that it's really making me crazy

There were days when I went completely blind
No time to think and I lost time
Won't believe what's happened to me lately

'Cause every day is the same day
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before
And every day is the same thing
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before

And I begin to wonder
Don't you know that it's really making me crazy
And I begin to wonder
Won't believe what's happened to me lately

'Cause every day is the same day
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before
And every day is the same thing
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before

And every time I think I'm breaking free
These thoughts return to trouble me
Hanging on to love has left me empty

You're a sinner but you told me you're a saint
Too fast I tripped and lost my way
Can't believe what's happened to me lately

'Cause every day is the same day
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before
And every day is the same thing
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before

And I begin to wonder
Don't you know that it's really making me crazy
And I begin to wonder
Won't believe what's happened to me lately

'Cause every day is the same day
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before
And every day is the same thing
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before

Walking down the street I call your name
All this time you led me astray
And making love to you I do the same
But now I know you blinded me
And there were days when I went completely blind
I thought I was over you, really over you
No time to think, I lost time
No, I'm not over you

And I begin to wonder
Don't you know that it's really making me crazy
And I begin to wonder
Won't believe what's happened to me lately

'Cause every day is the same day
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before
And every day is the same thing
Different faces with no names
Places I've never been before

And I begin to wonder

Bring me to life [Evanescence]

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

(All of this sight, I can't believe I couldn't see)
(Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
(Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul)
Don't let me die here
(There must be something wrong)
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up) Before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

The golden path [The Chemical Brothers featuring The Flaming Lips]

As I walked along the supposed golden path
I was confronted by mysterious spectre
He pointed to the graveyard over on yonder hill
And I paused in cosmic reflection
Confused and wondering of how I came to die
Hmm! I was confused
For if I was dead, how and why did I die?

But I composed myself and decided I should face it

But I stood paralyzed on the supposed golden path
And I was confronted by powerful demon force
He said he was the devil
And when he spoke his words flowed like glowing lava from the mouth of a volcano
And I said: Help me, lord!!
I've found myself in some kind of hell
But I did not believe in a heaven and hell, world in opposites kind of reality

And I gained control of myself and I decided to press on

And as I walked along the supposed golden path
I was trembling with fear of all the lions and wizards yet to come
I see it in the distance. Silver mountains rising high in the clouds
And a voice from above did whisper some shining answer from the blue

Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh, Ahhh

Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
(As I walked along, As I walked along, As I walked along, As I walked along)
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you
(As I walked along, As I walked along, As I walked along, As I walked along)
Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you

Please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you

Sweet dreams my L.A. ex [Rachel Stevens]

Hey, hang your red gloves up
'Cause there's nothing left to prove now
Hey, hang your red gloves up
Baby, no-one cares but you

What planet are you from
Accuse me of things that I never done
Listen to you carrying on
Cheating another love song

If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. ex

We've had it on full steam
'Til the light comes back to you now
Hey, is it all it seems
Is it all you dreamed and more

What planet are you from
Accuse me of things that I never done
Listen to you carrying on
Cheating another love song

If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. ex

Does it make you feel a man
Pointing the finger because you can
I spell it loud and clear
Baby, that tongues not welcome around here

You turned the city round (L.A. ex)
Do you think I give a damn (L.A. ex)
Do you think that I'm the fairer (S.E.X)
Sweet dreams my L.A. ex

If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. ex

Bill McCai [The Coral]

His family taught him right from wrong
With local tales and children's songs
Sunday school was his shelter
With his friends Joe and Walter
Now those days seem far away
An empty swing where he once played
Now Bill's grown so fat and bold
He never thought that he'd grow old

And everyday when he gets the train
Looks out the window and thinks in vain
If I could only be that boy again

His sales job it gets him down
Same old faces, same old sounds
Heart attacks, orthopaedic backs
Documents and labelled racks
His wife can't stand the sight of him
With his routine glass of gin
She makes his lunch of processed ham
And waits in for the meter man

And everyday when he gets the train
Looks out the window and thinks in vain
If I could only be that boy again

If he could be that boy again

Another day, another gin
His kids don't even notice him
Something different about his face
His happy smile seems out of place
His family gathered round for tea
Eyes fixed on their new telly
A news flash came, then it said
Bill McCai was just found dead

No more windows, no more trains
Hung himself out in the rain
Now he'll never be that boy again

And we say...
Bye bye Bill McCai
Bye bye Bill McCai
Bye bye Bill McCai

And we try to make it work, but it still isn't the worst
And I'm crazy for tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy

Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
"I love you boo"
"I love you too"
"I miss you a lot"
"I miss you even more"
That's why I flew you out when we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You start yellin when I'm with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bull shit)
You know I have to make them evidence (bull shit)
How could you trust our private lives girl
That's why you don't believe my lies
And quit this lecture

Shut up. Just shut up, shut up
Shut it up. Just shut up, shut up

We try to take it slow, but we're still losin control
And we try to make it work, but it still isn't the worst
And I'm crazy for tryin to be your lady
I think I'm goin crazy

Why why why...
Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Wwwwhy is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Cuz fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Changing up your livin
For a lovin transistion
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin
"Who the hell?!?"
Wwwwwho the hell?
What the hell's going down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and

Shut up. Just shut up, shut up
Shut it up. Just shut up, shut up

We try to take it slow, but we're still losin control
And we try to make it work, but it still isn't the worst

Shut up. Just shut up, shut up
Shut it up. Just shut up, shut up

Girl our love is dying. Why can't you stop tryin
I never been a quitter, but I do deserve better
Believe me I will do bad
Let's forget the past and let's start this new plan
Why? Cuz it's the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream

Girl I know you're tired of the things they say
You're damn right
Cuz I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No it ain't

Same ass excuses

Toxic [Britney Spears]

Baby, can’t you see I’m calling
A guy like you should wear a warning
It’s dangerous. I’m fallin’

There’s no escape. I can’t wait
I need a hit. Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous. I’m lovin’ it

Too high. Can’t come down
Losing my head, spinning round and round
Do you feel me now

With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride
You’re toxic. I’m slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you. Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do. Don’t you know that you’re toxic

It’s getting late. To give it up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly it’s taking over me

Too high. Can’t come down
It’s in the air and it’s all around
Can you feel me now

With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride
You’re toxic. I’m slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you. Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do. Don’t you know that you’re toxic

Don’t you know that you’re toxic

With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride
You’re toxic. I’m slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you. Don’t you know that you’re toxic

With a taste of your lips I’m on a ride
You’re toxic. I’m slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you. Don’t you know that you’re toxic

Intoxicate me now. With your lovin’ now
I think I'm ready now. I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now. With your lovin’ now
I think I'm ready now

I miss you [Blink-182]

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)

Where are you? And I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
And hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)

Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)
Don't waste your time on me
You're already the voice inside my head
(I miss you, miss you)

(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)
(I miss you, miss you)

Irish blood, English heart [Morrissey]

Irish blood, English heart. This I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me

I've been dreaming of a time when
To be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag, not feeling shameful
Racist or patial

Irish blood, English heart. This I'm made of
There is no one on earth I'm afraid of
And I will die with both of my hands untied

I've been dreaming of a time when
The English are sick to death of Labour, and Tories
And spit upon the name Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line that still salutes him
And will salute him forever
