THe Sound of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel "The Sound Of Silence" Hello, darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence "Fools," said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence." |
Queen (bluegrass cover)
Bohemian Rhapsody Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy Because I'm easy come, easy go Little high, little low Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me Mama, just killed a man Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead Mama, life had just begun But now I've gone and thrown it all away Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back again this time tomorrow Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters Too late, my time has come Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows) I don't wanna die I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango? Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me (Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me He's just a poor boy from a poor family Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? No, we will not let you go (let him go) We will not let you go (let him go) We will not let you go (let me go) Will not let you go (let me go) Will not let you go (never, never, never, never let me go) No, no, no, no, no, no, no Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia Mamma mia, let me go Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye? So you think you can love me and leave me to die? Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here Ooh Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah Nothing really matters, anyone can see Nothing really matters Nothing really matters to me |

Cold Day in Hell
Gary Moore So many times you tried to take the best of me So many times, now you're gonna take the rest of me Better look at what you're doing before it's too late It's a fine line you're treadin' between love and hate There'll be a cold day in hell Before I'm coming back to you So many times you tried to play a dead end game Yes, you did I tried to tell you, but you'd never wanna take the blame Now you've pushed me to the limit, and I can't take no more You'd better take one last look before I'm out the door There'll be a cold day in hell Before I'm coming back to you You never listened when I told you That you were way out of line Too busy talkin' to listen Accusing me of telling lies So many times you tried to get the best of me Yes, you did So many times, but now you're gonna take the rest of me Well, it's too late for sorry and it's too late for tears Better take one last look before I disappear There'll be a cold day in hell Before I'm coming back to you There'll be a cold day in hell Before I'm coming back to you There'll be a cold day in hell Before I'm coming back to you Yeah! |
Smashing Pumpkins "Mayonaise" Fool enough to almost be it Cool enough to not quite see it Doomed Pick your pocket, full of sorrow And run away with me tomorrow June We'll try and ease the pain But somehow, we'll feel the same Well, no one knows Where our secrets go I send a heart to all my dearies When your life is so, so dreary Dream I'm rumored to the straight and narrow While the harlots of my perils Scream And I fail But when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will Mother, weep the years I'm missing All our time can't be given Back Shut my mouth and strike the demons That cursed you and your reasons Out of hand and out of season Out of love and out of feeling So bad When I can, I will Words defy the plans When I can, I will Fool enough to almost be it And cool enough to not quite see it And old enough to always feel this Always old, I'll always feel this No more promise, no more sorrow No longer will I follow Can anybody hear me? I just want to be me And when I can, I will Try to understand That when I can, I will |
Pink Floyd "If" If I were a swan, I'd be gone If I were a train, I'd be late And if I were a good man I'd talk with you more often than I do If I were asleep, I could dream If I were afraid, I could hide If I go insane Please don't put your wires in my brain If I were the moon, I'd be cool If I were a rule, I would bend If I were a good man I'd understand the spaces between friends If I were alone, I would cry And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry And if I go insane Will you still let me join in with the game? If I were a swan, I'd be gone If I were a train, I'd be late again If I were a good man I'd talk with you more often than I do |
