want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's playing with her jewelry
She's putting up her hair
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who uses a machete to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass

She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She's touring the facility
And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends
At Citibank we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen

She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest
She wants a car that will get her there
She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen
She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler LeBaron

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket

Blind inspiration
Girl, you're sensational and this gets better yet
Ah yeah

Well, all your dreams an' visions are based on magazines

Takers need a giver, this much you understand
All I wanna give you babe
Is the best part of a man, yeah

Let me show you
Baby make the best of what you have in hand
Oh yeah
Just remember when you follow through
Bending over isn't planned

Best part of a man, woo
Best part of a man, ah
Best part of a man
 
Tonight you're mine completely, oh
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow?, oh

Is this a lasting treasure?, oh, no, no, no
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight, with words unspoken
You said that I'm the only one
But will my heart broken
When the night meets the morning sun?

I'd like to know that your love, no, no, no, no, no
Is a love I can be sure of
So, tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, oh

So tell me now
And I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?, ah, hey
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?, no, no, no, no
Will you still love me, love me tomorrow?
 

Увы, не ты моя судьба (Alas, you are not my destiny)​

Russian Translation:
You are just an angel on earth
And so I want to be with you
But no, you don't need me
But no, you don't need me
Your destiny is completely different

You and I are just friends
You are not mine and I am not yours
But you know and I know
But you know and I know
We will be happy with you

CHORUS
Alas, you are not my destiny
Alas, I am not your love
But I'll write for you
But I'll write for you
Poems from the most tender words


I want you to have
Love and happiness on earth
May you not be mine, not mine
May you not be mine, not mine
But I'll write about you

You are so beautiful and tender
And I will sing for you more than once
You know that I really need you
You know that I really need you
I live for you, I love you


Alas, you are not my destiny
Alas, I am not your love
But I'll write for you
But I'll write for you

Poems from the most tender words

Alas, you are not my destiny
Alas, I am not your love
But I'll write for you
But I'll write for you
Poems from the most tender words
Alas, you are not my destiny
Alas, I am not your love
But I'll write for you
But I'll write for you

Poems from the most tender words
 
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross (rugged cross)
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory forever I'll share
 


​
On the day I was born
The rain fell down
There was trouble brewin' in my home town
It was the seventh day
I was the sixth son
And it scared the hell out of everyone


They said stop, I said go
They said fast, I said slow
They said yes, I said no
I do the bad boy boogie

Bein' a bad boy ain't that bad
I had me more dirty women than most men ever had
All you women come along with me
And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be

I said right and they said left
I said east and they said west
I said up and they said down
I do the bad boy boogie
All over town

I wouldn't tell you no story
Tell you no lie
I was born to love till the day I die
I just line 'em up
And I knock 'em down
And they all came a runnin' when the word got around
Just keep a runnin

I said up
They said down
(Bad boy boogie)
They said straight
I said round
(Bad boy boogie)
They said lost
I said found
(Bad boy boogie)
I said free
And they said bound
Bad boy boogie
Do the bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie
Bad boy boogie
 
KEEP ON MOVING - SOUL II SOUL

I woke up today with this feelin'
That better things are comin' my way
And if the sunshine has a meaning
Tellin' me not to let things get in my way

When the rainy days are dyin'
Gotta keep on, keep on tryin'
All the bees and birds are flyin' (ah)
Never let go, gotta hold on and
Non stop 'til the break of dawn and
Keep movin', don't stop rockin' (ah)

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Feels like I should be screamin'
Tryna get through to my friends
Sometimes it feels that life has no meaning
But I know things will be alright in the end

When the rainy days are dyin'
Gotta keep on, keep on tryin'
All the bees and birds are flyin' (ah)
Never let go, gotta hold on and
Non stop 'til the break of dawn and
Keep movin', don't stop rockin' (ah)

Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around
Keep movin', don't stop rockin' (ah)
Get on up when you're down
Baby, take a good look around

I know it's not much, but it's okay
We'll keep on movin' on anyway

Keep on movin', keep on movin'
Keep on movin', keep on movin'
 

Our love was like an eighteen-wheeler, with a heavy load
And after you walked out on me, my heart could just explode
I'm trying not to let the thought of you bring me down
'Cause ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town!

I started with the water tower, just to make a stink
'Cause ever since you left me dear, whiskey's all I drink
Then I blew up your favorite bar when they refused another round
'Cause ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town!

Well ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town.
I'm volatile and hard to handle since you put me down
They call me the sad bomber, but I'm as happy as a clown
'Cause ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town!

{Harmonica solo}

{Steel guitar solo}

Well the sheriff knocked upon my door and carted me away
And locked me in a cell right next to Timothy McVeigh
The judge was cold and vicious, and refused to grant my bail
But I showed him a thing or two by blowing the jail to hell

Well I started taping dynamite around your trailer door
Because the moaning coming from inside I wanted to C4
You know the TNT on LSD barely makes a sound
Now I'm hitchhiking to Waco to start my own compound!

Well ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town.
I'm volatile and hard to handle since you put me down
They call me the sad bomber, but I'm as happy as a clown
'Cause ever since the night you blew me off, I'm blowing up the town!
 
You had people who called you on unmarked numbers
In my peripheral vision
I let it slide like a hose on a slippery plastic summer
All was quickly forgiven
You were so magnetic it was almost obnoxious
Flush with the currency of cool
I was always turning out my empty pockets
And when it came to you
I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends
When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
I had the fantasy that maybe our mismatched star signs would surprise the whole school
When I ended up back at our class reunion walking in with you
You'd be more than a chapter in my old diaries with the pages ripped out
I am standing in a 1950s gymnasium and I can still see you now
I didn't come here to make friends
We were born to be suburban legends
When you hold me, it holds me together
And you kiss me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
I know that you still remember
We were born to be national treasures
When you told me we'd get back together
And you kissed me in a way that's gonna screw me up forever
Tick-tock on the clock
I pace down your block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash on the shore
I dash to the door
You don't knock anymore
And my whole life's ruined
Tick-tock on the clock
I pace down your block
I broke my own heart 'cause you were too polite to do it
Waves crash to the shore
I dash to the door
You don't knock anymore
And I always knew it
That my life would be ruined
 
Susan Ashton - You Move Me 🙏💓

This is how it seems to me
Life is only therapy
Real expensive
And no guarantee

So I lie here on the couch
With my heart hanging out
Frozen solid with fear
Like a rock in the ground

But you move me
You give me courage
I didn't know I had
You move me meee
I can't go with you
And stay where I am
So you move me on

Here is how love was to me
I could look and not see
Going through the emotions
Not knowin' what they mean
And it scared me so much
That I just wouldn't budge
I might have stayed there forever
If not for your touch

Oh but you move me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Now I'm burning with love
And with hope and desire
How you move me

You go whistling in the dark
Making light of it
Making light of it
And I follow with my heart
Laughing all the way

Oh 'cause you move me
You get me dancing and you
Make me sing
You move me
Now I'm taking delight
In every little thing
How you move meeeee
Oh you move me
Oh you move me
Oh you move me
Oh you move me
 
You came into my world
No diamonds or pearls
Could ever replace what you gave to me
Just like a castle of sand
I almost let love slip right out of my hands
And just like a flower needs rain
I will stand by your side through the joy and the pain
You're the air that I breathe
Girl, you're all that I need
And I wanna thank you, baby
You're the words that I read
You're the light that I see
And your love is all that I need
 
Sydnie Christmas @BGT 2024

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow there'll be sun
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs
And the sorrow 'til there's none
When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say, oh
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow come what may
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I love ya tomorrow
You're always, a day away
 
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
(Never let me go, never let me go)
(Never let me go, never let me go)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
(Never let me go, never let me go)
(Never let me go, never let me go)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So, so cold and so sweet
In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion, I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
In the arms of the ocean delivered me
Delivered me
(Never let me go, never let me go)
(Never let me go, never let me go)
(Never let me go, never let me go)
Delivered me
(Never let me go, never let me go)
(Never let me go, never let me go)
Delivered me
(Never let me go, never let me go)
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
Ooh, so cold and so sweet

If you like to gamble
I tell you, I'm your man
You win some, lose some
It's all the same to me

The pleasure is to play
Makes no difference what you say

I don't share your greed
The only card I need
Is the Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades

Playing for the high one
Dancing with the devil
Going with the flow
It's all a game to me

Seven or eleven
Snake eyes watching you
Double up or quit
Double stake or split
The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades

You know I'm born to lose
And gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it, baby
I don't want to live forever

And don't forget the joker

Pushing up the ante
I know you got to see me
Read 'em and weep
The dead man's hand again

I see it in your eyes
Take one look and die
The only thing you see
You know it's gonna be

The Ace of Spades
The Ace of Spades,
 
Do you see what I see?
Truth is an offence
Your silence for your confidence

Do you hear what I hear?
Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must

Do you feel what I feel?
Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?

Do you take what I take?
Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you fear what I fear?
Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me

Do you choose what I choose?
More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative

Do you need what I need?
Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own

Do you trust what I trust?
Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception

Do you know what I know?
Your money and your wealth
Your silence just to hear yourself

Do you want what I want?
Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom’s ring

Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say

Independence limited
Freedom of choice
Choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech
Speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees you
Doesn’t matter what you see
Or into it what you read
You can do it your own way
If it’s done just how I say
 
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Well, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
Oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
Asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now hear me darling, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
I said, no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you
 
Siti Badriah - Andilau (Indonesian)

Mau bubaran tapi masih sayang
Mau dilanjutkan tapi menyakitkan
Berulang kali dia kumaafkan
Berulang kali selingkuhnya di ulang
Andilau andilau andilau
Antara dilema dan galau
Cinta berantakan merusak fikiran
Ku harus bagaimana
Andilau andilau andilau
Antara dilema dan galau
Cintaku terlalu sayang diputuskan
Antara lanjut atau udahan
Mau bubaran tapi masih sayang
Mau dilanjutkan tapi menyakitkan
Berukang kali dia kumaafkan
Berulang kali selingkuhnya di ulang
Andilau andilau andilau
Antara dilema dan galau
Cinta berantakan merusak fikiran
Ku harus bagaimana
Andilau andilau andilau
Antara dilema dan galau
Cintaku terlalu sayang diputuskan
Antara lanjut atau udahan

English translation:

I want to break up but I still love you
I want to continue but it hurts
I forgave him repeatedly
He repeats his cheating over and over again
Andilau andilau andilau
Between dilemma and confusion
Messy love corrupts the mind
What should I do?
Andilau andilau andilau
Between dilemma and confusion
My love is too dear to be decided
Either continue or finish
I want to break up but I still love you
I want to continue but it hurts
Many times I have forgiven him
He repeated his cheating over and over again
Andilau andilau andilau
Between dilemma and confusion
Messy love corrupts the mind
What should I do?
Andilau andilau andilau
Between dilemma and confusion
My love is too dear to be decided
Either continue or finish
 
Thank You - Alanis

How 'bout getting off of these antibiotics?
How 'bout stopping eating when I'm full up?
How 'bout them transparent dangling carrots?
How 'bout that ever-elusive kudo?

Thank you, India
Thank you, terror
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, frailty
Thank you, consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence

How 'bout me not blaming you for everything?
How 'bout me enjoying the moment for once?
How 'bout how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How 'bout grieving it all one at a time?

Thank you, India
Thank you, terror
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, frailty
Thank you, consequence
Thank you, thank you, silence

The moment I let go of it
Was the moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it
Was the moment I touched down

How 'bout no longer being masochistic?
How 'bout remembering your divinity?
How 'bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
How 'bout not equating death with stopping?

Thank you, India
Thank you, providence
Thank you, disillusionment
Thank you, nothingness
Thank you, clarity
Thank you, thank you, silence

Yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
No, oh, oh, oh
No, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
 
In a darkened room

In a darkened room
Beyond the reach of God's faith
Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed
And the innocence of a child is bought and sold
In the name of the damned
The rage of the angels left them silent and cold
Forgive me please for I know not what I do
How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true
Well tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
All the precious time have been put to rest again
And the smile of the dawn
Brings tainted lust singing my requiem
Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust
And watch it crystallize
While my salvation it crumbles to dust
Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea but still, I swim for shore
Tell me when a kiss of love becomes a lie
That bears the scar of sin too deep
To hide behind this fear of running unto you
Please let there be light
In a darkened room
 
"Fighting Fish" by Dessa

Swimming in a snifter
Pretty as a picture
Don't get it twisted man, her bite is a bitch
You can name, you can keep her
But take care when you feed her
You never can take the fight out the fish
Chomping at the drill bit
Never one to still sit
You can test my mettle with a magnet and some tin snips
Ink test all I see is canines and some wing tips
Pilot pen in pocket I'm riding instinct and ink jets
Around here we don't like talk of big dreams
To stand out is a pride, a conceit
To aim high is to make waves, to split seams
But that's not what it seems like to me
'Cause I wanna try I wanna risk
I don't wanna walk, rather swing and miss
I'm not above apologies but I don't ask permission
Got a lot of imperfections but I don't count my ambition in 'em

Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
It's always hanging there over its shadow
Safe from battle, waste of archer's time and trouble
Waste of effort, waste of parts
If you don't aim for the center it's a waste of the art

I didn't come looking for love
I didn't come to pick a fight
I didn't come to wave or take pictures
Pander to some benefactor, ring on every broken finger
Won't extend my wings to be clipped
I know the culture here is to stay humble but s#it
If we all go round bowed heads, button-lipped
If none of us go for the bell, then who is?
My mother says I've loved too many men
But I took and left something in every single bed
The rook can look left, right, just turns his head
But the knight might rise up, investigate the grid
Gender, genre, guess I'm on one, bent both
Just the constructs of the old world gone broke
Women, children let me tell you I've been both
And it's a myth we all swim for the life boats
I didn't come looking for love
I didn't come to pick a fight
I come here every night to work
And you can grab an axe, man
Or you can step aside

Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
It's always hanging there over its shadow
Safe from battle, waste of archer's time and trouble
Waste of effort, waste of parts
If you don't aim for the center it's a waste of the art

Self taught, self made, bet, self styled
Self saw, self came, self took island of converts
To conquer is old school
We're marching in Converse
Just armed with our own tools
While my knees still flex
While my joints hold steady
Mind sharp, spine straight, Chucks laced ready
I travel by kite, travel light at touchdown
I swallowed the dice
I make my own luck now

Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
It's always hanging there over its own shadow in the dark
Its own shadow in the dark
