Pretenders To The Throne
Beautiful South.. (Just popped into my mind lol)..
Is it Cologne with it’s great cathedral?
Milan with it’s glamour and it’s pace?
London with it’s river and it’s bridges?
Lisbon with it’s beauty and it’s grace?Funny looking buses
Climb it’s pot-bellied hills
And a solitary jogger
Times the time he killsDo you know where I’m gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean
It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seenYour town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, downIs it Dublin with it’s culture and it’s wit?
Madrid with it’s market square?
Paris with it’s bustling cafes?
Hull with it’s musical flair?Do you know where I’m gonna go?
None of you have guessed so none of you can know
If you’ve been, that’s not where I mean
It’s got class and it’s got excellence like you’ve never seenYour town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, downAs I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain
How can you like this place when it never even rains?Never even rains
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, downIs dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down19 June, 2009 at 2:09 pm #140013Lights

Journey.
When the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, oohSo you think you’re lonely
Well my friend I’m lonely too
I want to get back to my City by the bay
Ooh, oohIt’s sad, oh there’s been mornings out on the road without you,
Without your charms,
Ooh, my, my, my, my, myWhen the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, oohWhen the lights go down in the City
And the sun shines on the bay
Do I want to be there in my City
Ooh, oohhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gIki0LlXiw

5 July, 2009 at 6:04 am #140014Friday night Im going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over tv stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know its clear that Ive been blind
Ive been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridiculeSaturday Im running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd Im pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know Im seeing it so clear
Ive been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes Ive made14 July, 2009 at 6:44 pm #140015Do you know what’s worth fighting for?
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruinsOne, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and IWhen you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soulYour faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
You’re in ruinsOne, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and IDid you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You’re in ruinsOne, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the skyOne, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I18 July, 2009 at 4:20 pm #140016Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair
By the way didnt I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mineKayleigh is it too late to say Im sorry?
And kayleigh could we get it together again?
I just cant go on pretending that it came to a natural endKayleigh, oh I never thought Id miss you
And kayleigh I thought that wed always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars
Do you remember loving on the floor in belsize park
Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow
Do you remember you never understood I had to go
By the way, didnt I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mineKayleigh I just wanna say Im sorry
But kayleigh Im too scared to pick up the phone
To hear youve found another lover to patch up our broken homeKayleigh Im still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh its more important to me now youre gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong18 July, 2009 at 8:46 pm #140017I’LL GO CRAZY IF I DON’T GO CRAZY TONIGHT
She’s a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
There’s a part of me in the chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to riotEverybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
Oh a change of heart comes slowIt’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me, or are you doubting
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonightEvery generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that won’t listen to your boys and girls
Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven’t heard
Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh but a change of heart comes slowIt’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me, are you doubting
Now we’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonightBaby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not aloneIt’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting at the darkness
Squeeze out sparks of lightYou know we’re gonna go crazy
We’re gonna go crazy
We’re gonna go crazy if we don’t go crazy tonightOh
You steal my soul
You steal my soul
You steal my soul20 July, 2009 at 10:21 pm #140018Agnes – Release Me
Release me
Release my body
I know it’s wrong
So why am I with you now
I say release me
‘Cause I’m not able to
Convince myself
That I’m better off without youYeah, it’s perfectly clear
That it’s not what you need
I tell you that I don’t care
But I don’t want to
Anything that you say
I hear myself agree
And I don’t recognize
What i’ve turned intoI don’t know why I want you so
‘Cause I don’t need the heart break
I don’t know what addictive hold
You have on me I can’t shake
No, I’m not in control
So let me goRelease me
Release my body
I know it’s wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
‘Cause I’m not able to
Convince myself
That I’m better off without youI could sleep by myself
you would burn me alive
Find me somebody else
But I don’t want to
Try to leave out the love
That goes againt the grain
But I can rationalize it
If I have toI don’t know why I want you so
‘Cause I don’t need the heart break
I don’t know what addictive hold
You have on me I can’t shake
No, I’m not in control
So let me goRelease me
Release my body
I know it’s wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
‘Cause I’m not able to
Convince myself
That I’m better off without youIm not in control, so let me go
Release me
Release my body
I know it’s wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
‘Cause I’m not able to
Convince myself
That I’m better off without youRelease me
Release my body
I know it’s wrong
So why do I keep coming back
I say release me
‘Cause I’m not able to
Convince myself
That I’m better off without you23 July, 2009 at 4:24 pm #140019I’ll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You’ve been the only thing that’s right
In all I’ve doneAnd I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from hereLight up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I’ll be right beside you dearTo think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly doLight up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voiceI’ll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to sayLight up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even even (if you cannot hear my voice)
I’ll be right beside you dearLouder louder
And we’ll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can’t raise your voice to say23 July, 2009 at 8:46 pm #140020.
My story is much too sad to be told,
But practically ev’rything leaves me totally cold.
The only exception I know is the case
Where I’m out on a quiet spree
Fighting vainly the old ennui
And I suddenly turn and see
Your fabulous face.I get no kick from champagne.
Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true
That I get a kick out of you?Some get a kick from cocaine.
I’m sure that if I took even one sniff
That would bore me terrific’ly too,
Yet I get a kick out of you.I get a kick ev’rytime I see
You’re standing there before me.
I get a kick though it’s clear to me
You obviously don’t adore me.I get no kick in a plane.
Flying too high with some guy in the sky
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.Cole Porter
11 August, 2009 at 4:38 pm #140021Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin’ seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’So I just did me some talkin’ to the sun
And I said I didn’t like the way he got things done
Sleepin’ on the job
Those raindrops are fallin’ on my head, they keep fallin’But there’s one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won’t defeat me
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet meRaindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothin’s worryin’ me[trumpet]
It won’t be long till happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothin’s worryin’ me -
