Ozzy Osbourne - Back on Earth

I have fallen from grace, and my ashes are scattered
No longer a passion and flesh
My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered
They laid my body to rest.
My spirit is breathing, my senses are pure
Like reincarnation my soul will endure
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain
Bury me deep just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
ah ah ah ah
ah ah ah ah
Another dimension, a river of light
I'm twisting, I'm turning, my soul is entwined
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh......
Back on earth (you thrill me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
Back on earth (still breathing)
Back on earth (release me)
Back on earth (you thrill me)
Back on earth (reveal me)
 
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin, cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
Feelin' all alone without a friend
You know you feel like dyin' (dyin', dyin')
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
See you cryin' (cryin', cryin')
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
 

Kingdom - Downstait​

[Verse 1]
Adrenaline, in my soul
Every thought out of control
Do it all to get them off their feet
Crowd is here, about to blow
Waitin' for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up I'm home
(Whoa!)

[Pre-Chorus]
And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

[Chorus]
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game,
a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom

[Verse 2]
Lights go down, I'm ready now
Tear this roof off for the town
Gonna give 'em what they came to see
Hear the crowd, on their toes
Ready for me to start the show
Out the curtain, lights go up I'm home
(Whoa!)

[Pre-Chorus]
And my father said, when I was younger
Hard times breed better men (better men!)

[Chorus]
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom

[Bridge]
You tried to tell me what to do
I saw the door and kicked it down
I stepped right over and right through
And you can never stop me now
(Bow!) (Now!)
I am the king and you're the crown
Now watch me as I take my throne
And rule my kingdom

[Chorus]
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom
You took it all away, I give it all away
Can't take my freedom
Here to change the game, a banner made of pain
I built my kingdom
Now you bow to me
You took my dreams but not my name
You'll follow me until the end
I am my kingdom
 
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her mem'ry torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her mem'ry torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her mem'ry torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
I'm drowning in a whiskey river
Bathing my mem'ried mind in the wetness of its soul
Feeling the amber current flowin' from my mind
And leaving a heart you left so cold
Whiskey River, take my mind
Don't let her mem'ry torture me
Whiskey River, don't run dry
You're all I've got, take care of me
Whiskey River, take my mind
Whiskey River, take my mind
 
Why do we play with fire?
Why do we run our finger through the flame?
Why do we leave our hand on the stove
Although we know we're in for some pain?

Oh, why do we refuse to hang a light
When the streets are dangerous?
Why does it take an accident
Before the truth gets through to us?

Cages or wings?
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds
Fear or love, baby?
Don't say the answer
Actions speak louder than words
 
This time, I'm taking it away
I've got a problem
With me getting in the way
Not by design
So I take my face
And bash it into a mirror
I won't have to see the pain
Pain, pain
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fu**ed up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This ****'s gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a *****
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
My mind's done with this, okay?
I've got a question
Can I throw it all away?
Take back what's mine
So I take my time
Guiding the blade down the line
Each cut closer to the vein
Vein, vein
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This ****'s gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a *****
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
I'm here to stay
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Bring it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it
This state is elevating
As the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fu**ed up feelings again
The hurt inside is fading
This ****'s gone way too far
All this time, I've been waiting
Oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking
I'm not, I'm not a *****
You've taken everything
And, oh, I cannot give any more
Give any more
Give any more
Give any more
Give any more
 
Roots, bloody roots
Roots, bloody roots
Roots, bloody roots
Roots, bloody roots
I believe in our fate
We don't need to fake
It's all we wanna be
Watch me freak
I say we're growing every day
Getting stronger in every way
I'll take you to a place
Like honesty
Roots, bloody Roots
Roots, bloody Roots
Roots, bloody Roots
Roots, bloody Roots
Rain bring me the strength
To get to another day
And all I want to see
Set us free
WhyCan't you see
Can't you feel
This is real
Ahh
I pray we don't need to change
Our ways to be saved
That all I want to be
Watch me freak
 
I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

Unaware but underlined I figured out this story
It wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood

And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever we will be
So complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood ...

I guess now it's time that you came back for good
 
You know this old world is full of singers
But just a few are chosen
They tear your heart out when they sing
Imagine life without them
All your radio heroes
Like the outlaw that walks through Jesse's dreams
No, there will never be another
Red-headed stranger
A man in black and Folsom prison blues
The Okie from Muskogee
Or hello darling
Lord, I wonder who's gonna fill their shoes
 
Face, the enemy
Stare, inside you
Control, your thoughts
Destroy, destroy 'em all
You censor what we breathe
Prejudice with no belief
Senseless violence all around
Who is it, that keeps us down
Once all free tribes
Chained down led lives
Blood boils inside me
We're not slaves, we're free
Face, the enemy
Stare, inside you
Control, your thoughts
Destroy, destroy 'em all
 
American girls and American guys
We'll always stand up and salute
We'll always recognize
When we see Old Glory flying
There's a lot of men dead
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head
My daddy served in the army
Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard
Until the day that he died
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy
In the land of the free
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of July
Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
Justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way
Hey uncle sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue
Oh oh of the red, white and blue
Oh oh of my red, white and blue
 
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop?
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together, babe
But we're not
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
And I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
And I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Here is my confession
May I be your possession?
Boy, I need your touch
Your love, kisses, and such
With all my might, I try
But this I can't deny
Deny
I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you
But I'm dreaming of you, babe
And I'll keep my cool, but I'm fiendin'
I try to say goodbye and I choke (yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble (hey, hey, yeah)
Though I try to hide it, it's clear (sick of love)
My world crumbles when you are not near (love, your love, kisses ends)
Goodbye and I choke (goodbye and I choke, yeah)
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah
 
I'm ready to shine (Yeah)
My Time

We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory
Our sacred scars
Show who we are
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
Is the chosen ones
We are one
We are one
We will fight forever
We are one and we won't tire

We walk alone
In the unknown
We live to win another victory
We are the young
Dying sons
We live to change the face of history
When so be afraid
It's the price we pay
The only easy day was yesterday
So hear our voice,
We have a choice,
It's time to face it

We are one
We are one
We are one
We will stand together
Number one
Number one
Is the chosen ones
We are one
We are one

Our sacred scars

And tell the story of our memories
When so be afraid
It's the price we pay
The only easy day was yesterday
So hear our voice,
We have a choice,
It's time to face it

You could never know what it's like
Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I'm a-comin' back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standin'
You just fade away
 
She had the word
Had the way
The way of letting me know

She knew the game
Called the play
Oh she hit me low

She said now you go your way
And I'll go mine
And that's a start

Doctor doctor
Ain't no cure
For the pain in my heart

Gimme a bullet to bite on
Something to chew
Gimme a bullet to bite on
And I'll make believe
I'll make believe it's you

Don't need no drink
Don't need no drug
Don't need no sympathy
Sooner or later
Send me a bill
For what she's doin to me

I'll call right up
Long distance lips
On the telephone
Come tomorrow
Come to grips
With me all alone


Yeah yeah bullet to bite
Bullet to chew
I'll make believe it's you
I'll make believe it's you
Gimme a bullet to bite on
You're a bullet baby
I wanna bullet to bite on
 
Sent in the middle of a war
You have to fight
Wondering how the ****
You ever landed over here
Never thought about all the bullshit
That they feed
Now you're thinking how to keep
The bullets from your head
Every face alive you might have to take
The mind can only take so much before it breaks
You have to take control, it's your fate
They taught you how to move
How to kill, how to die
Come back alive, don't end up dead
Come back alive, don't end up dead
 
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows

Don't follow leaders and watch for parking meters

_ Bob Dylan Subterranean Homesick Blues
