"So Far Away" by Staind

this is my life

its not what it was before

all these feelings i've shared

and these are my dreams

that i'd never lived before

somebody shake me

'cause i

i must be sleeping

[chorus]

now that we're here,

it's so far away

all the struggle we thought was in vain

all the mistakes,

one life contained

they all finally start to go away

now that we're here its so far away

and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive

and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words

that i've never said before

i think i'm doing okay

and this is the smile

that i've never shown before

somebody shake me 'cause i

i must be sleeping

[chorus]

i'm so afraid of waking

please don't shake me

afraid of waking

please don't shake me

[chorus]

Mina Olen - Kotitoelisuus

Joku vaihtaa öisin lähikauppojemme nimiä,

äidit synnyttävät lapsia joiden puhetta emme ymmärrä,

kuka hiippailee pois Suomi-neidon aitan liepeiltä,

neidon jonka kupeet huokuvat, nyt, ikuista kylmyyttä.

Ja se mies,

Jussi seisoo yksin suon laidalla,

on kuokka pudonnut,

räkä valuu hikisellä poskella.

Eikä mies tiedä mitä tehdä, mihin mennä nyt,

on sillä kylmää, kylmää kuten sisälläni on.

CHORUS:

Mutta minä olen ja elän ja hengitän,

yhtä suurta jumalaa,

elämänhalua.

Sen temppeleinä toimivat kapakat, ilotalot,

markkinat, marketit, kaupunkien värivalot.

Mutta minä olen ja elän ja hengitän,

yhtä suurta jumalaa,

elämänhalua.

Sen temppeleinä toimivat kapakat, ilotalot,

markkinat, marketit, kaupunkien värivalot.

Katson ulos ikkunasta,

en näe iloa täällä.

Levinneitä hiekkalaatikoita,

räkäisiä lähikapakoita.

Joista yksinhuoltajat raahaavat yhden yön toivoja,

jotka poistuvat aamulla,

ennen kuin lapset heräävät.

Anna minulle kätesi,

anna lupaus huomisesta,

lupaa etten yksin jää tähän,

kylmään elämään.

Tähän päivään jossa kaikuvat patsaisen jylhät äänet,

jossa syntynyt kulkee kuolleena,

etsien hautapaikkaansa.

CHORUS

Niin kaunis on kuun sirppi,

niin raikas on syksyn sateen jälkeinen tuoksu.

Kuka täällä komentaa?

ketä täällä totellaan?

Kahta suurta jumalaa,

ahneutta ja rahaa.

Joiden temppeleinä toimivat pörssit ja ilotalot,

markkinat, marketit, kaupunkien värivalot.

Kuka täällä komentaa?

ketä täällä totellaan?

Kahta suurta jumalaa,

ahneutta ja rahaa.

Joiden temppeleinä toimivat pörssit ja ilotalot,

markkinat, marketit, kaupunkien värivalot.

CHORUS

This Years Most Open Heartbreak - Funeral For A Friend

Broken hearts

Swept to hands that tied me

It's a pointless game

What better, let's play

Suicide

To kiss your kids goodnight

What you take from them

What they've taken from you

To be the last one who will sing you to sleep

To be the last one, who will sing you to...

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

Will convert, for you tonight

Broken hearts

Swept to hands that tied me

It's a pointless game

What better, let's play

Suicide

To kiss your kids goodnight

What you take from them

What they've taken from you

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

Will convert, for you tonight

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

Will convert, for you tonight

(We will never be the same)

Same old songs on a brand new stereo

(We will never be the same)

Same old songs on a brand new stereo

(We will never be the same)

Same old songs on a brand new stereo

(We will never be the same)

Same old songs!

To be the last one who will sing you to sleep

To be the last one, who will sing you to...

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

Will convert, for you tonight

Just like your broken records (you're broken)

Will convert, for you tonight

{Dr. Dre}

Things just ain't the same for gangstas.

Times is changing, young niggas is aging,

Becoming old gees in the game and changing,

To make way for these new names and faces, but

The strangest things can happen from rappin, when

Niggas get wrapped up in image and actin,

Niggas get capped up and wrapped in plastic,

Zipped up in bags when it happens, that's it.

I've seen em come; I've watched em go,

Watched em rise, witnessed it and watched em blow.

Watched em up high, suddenly watched em grow.

Watched the lawsuits when they lost the dough.

Best friends and money: I lost them both.

Went, visited niggas in the hospital.

It's all the same shit all across the globe.

I just sit back and watch the show. (The watcher)

Everywhere that I go

Ain't the same as befo' (The watcher)

People I used to know

I got people I know (The watcher)

Who got people they know

So I suggest you lay low (I watch)

{Dr. Dre}

I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?

Niggas ain't made me if niggas they can't be.

But niggas can't hit niggas they can't see.

I'm out of sight, now I'm out of they dang reach.

How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?

You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill.

And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot,

I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you, you got

I ain't no bitch neither.

It's either my life or your life,

And I ain't leaving, I like breathing.

Nigga we can go round for round,

Clip for clip, shit, fo' - pound for pound.

Nigga if you really want to take it there we can,

Just remember that you fuckin with a family man.

I got a lot more to lose than you, remember that,

When you wanna come and fill these shoes. (The watcher)

{Dr. Dre}

Things just ain't the same for gangstas,

Cops is anxious to put niggas in handcuffs.

They wanna hang us, see us dead, enslave us,

Keep us trapped in the same place we're raised in.

Then they wonder why we act so outrageous,

Run around stressed out and pull out gauges.

Cause everytime you let the animal out cages,

It's dangerous to people who look like strangers.

But now we got a new era of gangstas,

Hustlers and youngsters livin amongst us.

Lookin at us, now callin us busters,

Can't help but reminisce back when it was us.

Nigga we started this gangsta shit.

And this the motherfuckin thanks I get?

It's funny how time fly,

I'm just havin fun, just watchin it fly by. (The watcher)

(The watcher)

That's my favourite song, I always liked RETURN OF THE MACK~! too

[apsham]

All along, we follow blindly,

Force-fed prime time, printed nightly,

Why would anybody leave the safety of their home?

I wonder why,

I wonder why,

Only disasters flood the headlines,

Other people’s misery,

Are up for the next three hours,

Commercial free.

And I can’t take much more of this,

We’re all so wrapped up, in it,

Nothing will change, but the channels,

So I turn it off.

I see billboards on the horizon,

I can’t imagine what they’ll tell me,

What to wear,

What to drink,

Where to eat,

It’s so easy not to think for yourself anymore,

So naive,

You don’t do anything anymore.

And I can’t take much more of this,

We’re all so wrapped up, in it,

Nothing will change, but the channel,

And no,

I can’t take much more of this,

We’re all so wrapped up, in it,

Nothing will change, but the channel...

We all give in,

We all complain,

We sit and wait,

For things to change,

Worrying,

Worrying.

All along, we follow blindly,

All along, we follow blindly.

And I can’t take much more of this,

We’re all so wrapped up, in it,

Nothing will change, but the channel,

And no,

I can’t take much more of this,

We’re all so wrapped up, in it,

Nothing will change, but the channels,

So I turn it off...

Turn it off...

NEW FOUND GLORY - NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS

[Xand]

Coming out of my cage

And I've been doing just fine

Gotta gotta be down

Because I want it all

It started out with a kiss

How did it end up like this?

It was only a kiss

It was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep

And she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke

And she's taking a drag

Now they're going to bed

And my stomach is sick

And its all in my head

But she's touching his chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can't look its killing me

And taking control

Jealousy turning saints into the sea

Swimming through sick lullabye

Joking on your alibis

But its just the price I pay

Destiny is calling me

Open up my eager eyes

'Cos I'm Mr Brightside

(Twice, then...)

I never

I never

I never

I never

These have to be my new favourite lyrics ever...

The Killers - Mr. Brightside.

[gunnar hendershow]

I can't belive this now

This isn't what I planned

I lived and died and now

I just can't understand

With all the love I feel

I could never leave her

No matter what the cost

My soulds the price to see her

Oh how I love you

The pain won't go away

Oh when I need you

You're always so far away

I cry for you

Leaving myself to blame

I died for you

I gave up everything

The pain was just to much

When I finally saw her

She's happy and in love

In love with my best friend

What makes it hurt so bad

Is that I love them both

And they will never know

For love I sold my soul

Oh how I love you

The pain won't go away

Oh when I need you

You're always so far away

I cry for you

Leaving myself to blame

I died for you

I gave up everything

[Boulder]

I want a new duck

One that won't try to bite

One that won't chew a hole in my socks

One that won't quack all night

I want a new duck

One with big webbed feet

One that knows how to wash my car

And keep his room real neat

One that won't raid the ice box

One that'll stay in shape

One that's never gonna try to migrate or escape

Or I'll tie him up with duck tape

I want a new duck

A mallard I think

One that won't make a mess of my house

Or build a nest in the bathroom sink

I want a new duck

One that won't steal my beer

One that won't stick his bill in my mail

One that knows the duck stops here

One that won't drive me crazy waddling all around

One who'll teach me how to swim and help me not to drown

And show me how to get down

How to get down baby

Get it?

I want a new duck

Not a swan or a goose

Just a drake I can dress real cute

Think I'm gonna name him Bruce

I want a new duck

Not a quail or an owl

One that won't molt to much

One that won't smell too fowl

One that won't beg for breadcrumbs

Hangin' around all day

He'd better mind his manners

Better do just what I say

Or he's gonna be duck patte, duck patte, yah, yah

I Want a New Duck- Weird Al Yankovic

[Dr. Rated-R]

“Yo

I can't sing

I feel like singing

I wannna  fuckin' sing

Cuz i'm happy

Yea' i'm happy

He He

I got my baby back

Yo, check it out”

Somedays i sit, starin' out the window

Watchin' this world pass me by

Sometimes i think there’s nothing to live for

I almost break down and cry

Sometimes i think i'm crazy

I'm crazy, oh so crazy!

Why am i here? am i just wastin' my time?

But when i see my baby

suddenly i'm not crazy!

It all makes sense when i look into her eyes (oh no)

Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders

Everyone's leaning on me

Cos sometimes it feels like the world's almost over

But then she comes back to me

My baby girl keeps gettin' older

I watch her grow up with pride

People make jokes,

cuz they don't understand me

They just don’t see my real side

I act like shit don’t phase me,

Inside it drives me crazy!

My insecurities could eat me alive

But when i see my baby

suddenly i'm not crazy!

It all makes sense when i look into her eyes

Sometimes it feels like the world's on my shoulders

Everyone's leaning on me

Cos sometimes it feels like the world's almost over

But then she come back to me

Yeah man if i could sing,

i'd keep singing this song to my daughter

If i could hit the notes,

i'd blow something as long as my father

To show her how i feel about her,

how proud i am that i got her

God, im a daddy, im so glad that her mom didn't abort her

Now you prob'ly get this picture from my public persona

That i'm a pistol-packing drug-addict who bags on his momma,

But i wanna just take this time out to be perfectly honest

Cos there's a lot of shit i keep bottled that hurts deep inside of my soul,

And just know that i grow colder the older i grow

This boulder on my shoulder gets heavy and harder to hold

And this load is like the weight of the world

And i think my neck is breaking

should i just give up or try to live up to these expectations?

now look,

I love my daughter more than life in itself,

But i got a wife who's determined to make my life livin' hell

But i handle it well, given the circumstances i'm dealt

So many chances, man, it's too bad, coulda had someone else

But the years that i've wasted is nothing to the tears that ive tasted

So here's what im facin: 3 felonies, 6 years of probation

I've went to jail for this woman, i've been to bat for this woman

I've taken bats to peoples' backs bent over backwards for this woman

Man, i shoulda seen it comin, whad i stick my penis up in?

Wouldn't have ripped the pre-nup up  if i'da seen what she was fuckin'

But fuck it, it's over, there's no more reason to cry no more

I got my baby, baby the only lady that i adore, hailie

So sayonara try tomorra, nice to know ya

my baby's travelled back to the arms of her rightful owner

And suddenly it seems that my shoulder blades have just shifted

Its like the greatest gift you can get

The weight has been lifted

Now it don’t feel like the world's on my shoulders

Everyone’s leaning on me

Cos My baby knows that her daddy's a soldier

Nothing can take her from me

Woo!

i told you i can't sing.

Oh well, i tried

Hailie, remember when i said

If you ever need anything, daddy would be right there?

Guess what, daddy's here.

And i ain't goin nowhere baby

I love you (kiss)"

I that song.

Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster

Nothin' for us in Belfast

The Pound's so old it's a pity

OK, there's the Trident in Bangor

Then walk back to the city

We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care

They don't even know you know

Just want our money

And we can take it or leave it

What we need is

(Chorus:)

An Alternative Ulster

Grab it and change it it's yours

Get an Alternative Ulster

Ignore the bores and their laws

Get an Alternative Ulster

Be an anti-security force

Alter your native Ulster

Alter your native land

Take a look where you're livin'

You got the Army on your street

And the RUC dog of repression

Is barking at your feet

Is this the kind of place you wanna live?

Is this where you wanna be?

Is this the only life we're gonna have?

What we need is

(Chorus)

They say they've got control of you

But that's not true you know

They say they're a part of you

And that's a lie you know

They say you will never be

Free free free

Get an Alternative Ulster, Alternative Ulster, Alternative Ulster

Might not mean much to people not from Northern Ireland, but I think it's great.

Armor For Sleep- Dream to Make Believe

It's funny how, Things work out

The ones we need, don't know we're there

If I were sand, and you were oceans

The moon would be, why you're pulled to me

I wake asking, Dreams are real?

I sleep so I don't have to feel,

The truth that you can never be

The one person that won't ever forget me.

I hope that dreams, come when I die

So we can talk, I won't wake up

I'll ask you how, your life worked out,

I'll never know, that I'm just dreaming.

I wake hoping,  and think Dreams are real.

I sleep so I don't have to feel,

The truth that you can never be

The one person that won't ever forget me.

Let me sleep some more

Soulfly - Mars

The new millennium is here

The smell of napalm and fear

All this confusion and mass hysteria

Welcome all to the new frontier

This fucking hate gets bigger and bigger

Consume ourselves in nuclear fear

And let me tell you that's the real enemy

How can you kill what you cannot see

I am Mars the God of War

You bow to me like you did before

I am Mars the God of War

You bow to me like you did before

Gas masks and AK-47's

Now you won't see the gates of heaven

Blood fire destroying weather

To blow you away, blow you away forever

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Chemical warfare and the bloodlust

Sign of Mars in a time to come

Mankind has finally done

I am Mars the God of War

You bow to me like you did before

I am Mars the God of War

You bow to me like you did before

Of cells of life itself

Gold rush for genes is on

Mutations cooked in labs

Money-mad experiments

New food + medicine?

New germs + accidents!

Like Cubatao

"World's most polluted town"

Air melts your face

Deformed children all around

Bio-technology

Ain't what's so bad

Like all technology

It's in the wrong hands

Cut-throat corporations

Don't give a damn

When lots of people die

From what they've made

The Misfits - Mommy, Can I Go Out And Kill tonight?

, 2, 3, 4

Singled out the kids who are mean to me

Get straight A's but they still make fun

I don't give a..., I'll laugh last

Stayed in every night

Do my homework so I'll be smart

Girls all say I'm a little fucked

Mommy I'm a good boy

Mommy I'm a fuckin' savior

Mommy I'm alive

Mommy, can I go out and kill tonight

Rip the veins from human necks

Until they're wet with life

Razor-blades love teenage flesh

An epidermoty

I'll bring back a souvenir

For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Killed a girl on lovers' lane

I kept her toes and teeth

Every night I stalk around until I find my keep

I'll bring back a souvenir

For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Killed a girl on lovers lane

I kept her toes and teeth

Every night I stalk around until I find my keep, mommy

I'll bring back a souvenir

For it's my mommy's dream

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight

Kill tonight, kill tonight

Can I go out and kill tonight, kill tonight

Kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight, kill tonight

Kill tonight, kill tonight

I can go on, but I won't

Boulder, what was the original song?

EDIT - May as well post another song I like...

Bar tender I really did it this time

Broke my parole to have a good time

When I got home it was 6 a.m.

The door was locked so I kicked it in

She was trippin on the bills

I think she was high on some pills

She threw my shit out into the yard

Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard

And in my drunkin stooper

I did what I should of never done

Now I'm sittin here talking to you

Drunk and on the Run

I'm sittin at a bar on the inside

Waiting for my ride on the outside

She broke my heart in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car

And crashed that piece of shit

And then stepped away

You know Mo I'll probably get ten years

So just give me beers till they get here

Yeah I know the sun is comin up

And y'all are probably getting ready for closing up

But I'm trying to drown my soul

I'm tired of this life on a dirt road

And everything that I love is gone

And I'm tired of hangin on

She got me sittin at a bar on the inside

Waitin for my ride on the outside

She stole my heart in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car

Crashed that piece of shit

And then stepped away

Guess it was meant to be

Romance is misery

So much for memories

And now I'm headed to the penitentary

See me on T.V.

The next cop series

I am a danger

I guess I should've did something about my anger

But I'll never learn

Real things I don't concern

I poor kerosene on everything I love and watch it burn

I know it's my fault

But I wasn't happy it was over

She threw a fit so I crashed that piece a shit nova

And now I'm goin back again

Back to the pen to see my friends

And when we all pile out that county van

They'll ask me where I've been

I've been at a bar on the inside

Waitin for my ride on the outside

She broke my heart in the trailer park

So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car

I crashed that piece of shit

And then stepped away

Boulder, what was the original song?

I'm not Boulder but I'm going to answer anyways. The original song was "I Want A New Drug" by Huey Lewis and the News.
