Lyrics and Songlines

"Life Is A Highway"

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye

There ain't no load that I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Tell me, is it true that these men are from Mars?
Is that why they be acting bizarre?
Every time I walk out of my house it's like, "Hey, baby!"
They don't see me rolling my eyes
They buzzing around me like flies
They got one thing on their minds
(Some things don't change...)
 
Tell me why you worry
I mean come on you've got the best of friends
liars, cheaters, and may I say best of all, backstabbers
they're the reason for this mess we're in
this mess we're in

please don't forget the fact that I'm still here
you never even made an attempt to make things better
make things better
please don't forget the fact that I'm still here
you never even made an attempt to make things better

this time it takes a liar and there's more on the line
game over she said with her mind in time
you never thought I'd be the one to say this
baby I'm gone

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair :rose:
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there :heartbeat
 
The Dance

The Dance

The Dance


Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance




-Garth Brooks​
 
She's gonna save me,
Call me "baby"
Run her hands through my hair
She'll know me crazy,
Soothe me daily
Better yet she wouldn't care
We'll steal her Lexus,
Be detectives,
Ride 'round picking up clues
We'll name our children
Jackie and Wilson,
Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.​

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten anything they say

But it's all the same
I could have foreseen
That you would act like you are
Oh so cool you seem
Blending with that scene
Wearing what you think is hard

I can see you struggling
Boy, don't hurt your brain
Thinking what you're gonna say
Cause everything's a game
Always trying to calculate
Trying to look smart but not too smart
To threaten everything they say
 
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

(1, 2, 3, 4)

Kiss me hard before you go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
That, baby, you're the best

I got that summertime, summertime sadness

She's got a twinkle in both eyes
She's calculating your demise
She covers up her lies with lies
She's so...

The pretty poison of her taste
But innocence she's painted on her face
She's made of latex not of lace
She's so...

She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her

She'll put a dagger in his chest
You'll see how quickly he forgets
Cause she's a genius in fishnets
She's so...

She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
She's a bad girl
And that's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her
That's why you want her

To the stars, you reach out your hands.
The song of the clouds call you to distant land.
To the wind, you call my name,
Carried to the shore, the shore where I wait.

A dogwood flower, I'd give to you.
A blossom then, soon come to bloom.

May the dreams you hold,
The dreams that shine like rosen gold, last forever.
And I wish for you to shine above, to radiate your endless love.
May it last a hundred years from now.
 
"If Everyone Cared" (Nickelback)

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
But here we are, we're here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive


If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

And I'm singing

Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive
Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
When nobody died...

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died​
 
"Happiness"

Happiness was just outside my window
I thought it'd crash blowing 80 miles an hour
But happiness ,a little more like knocking
On your door, and you just let it in

Happiness feels a lot like sorrow
Let it be, you can?t make it come or go
But you are gone ..not for good but for now
And gone for now feels a lot like gone for good

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard
Happiness was never meant to hold
Be careful child, light the fuse and get away
Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks

Happiness damn near destroys you
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor
So you tell yourself, "That?s enough for now."
Happiness has a violent roar

Happiness is like the old man told me
Look for it, and you?ll never find it all
But let it go, live your life and leave it
Then one day, you'll wake up and she?ll be home
Home, she'll be
She'll be home
She will be home​
 
Britney Spears - Unusual You

Britney Spears - Unusual You

Baby you're so unusual
Didn't anyone tell you, you're supposed to, break my heart?
I expect you to, so why haven't you?
Maybe you're not even human 'cause
Only an angel can be so unusual
Sweet surprise, I could get used to
Unusual You

Been so many things when I was someone else
Boxer in the ring trying to defend myself
In the private eye to see what's going on
(That's long gone)
When I'm with you, I can just be myself
You're always where you said you will be
Shocking 'cause I never knew love like this could exist
 
What is Life George Harrison

What is Life George Harrison

What i feel , i can't say
But my love is there for you anytime of the day
But if it's not love you need
Then I'll try my best to make everything succeed

Tell me , what is my life without your love
Tell me , who am I without you , by my side
 
Like the spark before the flame
Or the calm before the storm
It's a needle to the vein
And I'll always be wanting more
I close my eyes at night
But I wake up in a daydream


Been here a thousand times before
Is there pleasure in this pain?
Different people, fresher faces
But their words always sound the same
Knocked so hard upon the door
But all it does is hurt me


I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
Maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive


Sitting on my own again
Hoping something's going to change
Where's the happiness in torture?
What's the sense in becoming insane?
Another corner of my mind
I feel moments, but never the full thing


I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
But maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive


I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm bleeding but I'm not undone
All this healing is making me strong
I might be fading but I'm never gone, yeah


I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
But maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Hayley Westenra - Tears/ Nada Sousou [ 涙そうそう ]

Hayley Westenra - Tears/ Nada Sousou [ 涙そうそう ]

Turning the pages of old photobook,
I whisper thanks to each and everyone.
Deep in my heart, you have come, come to live,
Sure as the sun to see me through.

Come rain and shine however the day may be,
You shelter me with your smile.
However far your memories may fade,
Traces of you I hope to find,
Then you appear and I drown in my own tears.

I wish on a star, the first star of the night,
You'll find me here every evening of the year.
As twilight approaches I look to the sky
Searching for you with all of my heart.

In grief and joy I long for you and your smile,
Hoping you feel the way I do.
If only you could fine me from where you are.
I do believe somewhere in time,
I do believe I will see you once again.

This one'll never sell
They'll never understand
I don't even sing it well
I try but I just can't
But I sing it every night
And I fight to keep it in
Cause, this one's for you
This one's for you

I've done a hundred songs
From fantasies to lies
But this one's so real for me
That I'm the one who cries
And i sing it every night
And i fight to hide the tears
Cause this one's for you
This one's for you

This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else i have
This one's for you

I've got it all it seems
For all it means to me
But i sing of things i miss
And things that used to be
And i wonder every night
If you might just miss me too
And i sing for you, i sing for you

This one's for you wherever i go
To say the things i should have said
Things that you should know
This one's to say that all i can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing
Cause this one's for you
This one's for you, wherever you are
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have this one;s for you...
 
RASMUS
"Not Like The Other Girls"

No more blame I am destined to keep you sane
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart

No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl

I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose

She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
She talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know

No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you
​
 
People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide

But they don't always decide
We live on the impulses
Love is powerful
But not as powerful as evil

People are evil, it's true
But on the other side
They can be gentle too
If they decide
If they decide
