Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Led Zeppelin

"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold 

And she's buying the stairway to heaven. 

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed 

With a word she can get what she came for. 

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven. 

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. 

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, 

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. 

Ooh, it makes me wonder, 

Ooh, it makes me wonder. 

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, 

And my spirit is crying for leaving. 

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, 

And the voices of those who stand looking. 

Ooh, it makes me wonder, 

Ooh, it really makes me wonder. 

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune 

Then the piper will lead us to reason. 

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long 

And the forests will echo with laughter. 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, 

It's just a spring clean for the May queen. 

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run 

There's still time to change the road you're on. 

And it makes me wonder. 

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, 

The piper's calling you to join him, 

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know 

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. 

And as we wind on down the road 

Our shadows taller than our soul. 

There walks a lady we all know 

Who shines white light and wants to show 

How everything still turns to gold. 

And if you listen very hard 

The tune will come to you at last. 

When all are one and one is all 

To be a rock and not to roll. 

And she's buying the stairway to heaven. 

Foo Fighters - The Best of You

Foo Fighters

“Best Of You”

I've got another confession to make

I'm your fool

Everyone's got their chains to break

Holdin' you

Were you born to resist, or be abused?

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Or are you gone and onto someone new?

I needed somewhere to hang my head

Without your noose

You gave me something that I didn't have

But had no use

I was too weak to give in

Too strong to lose

My heart is under arrest again

But I'll break loose

My head is giving me life or death

But I can't choose

I swear I'll never give in

I refuse

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?

It's real, the pain you feel

You trust, you must confess

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?

It's real, the pain you feel

The life, the love

You'd die to heal

The hope that starts

The broken hearts

You trust, you must confess

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend

I'm no fool

I'm getting tired of starting again

Somewhere new

Were you born to resist, or be abused?

I swear I'll never give in, I refuse

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?

It's real, the pain you feel

You trust, you must confess

Is someone getting the best

The best, the best, the best of you?

Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of your life)

Green Day

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Rage Against The Machine - Freedom

Rage Against The Machine

"Freedom"

Uggh!

Pull, pull

Wuh! 

Come on!

Uggh!

Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list

Al live, never on a floppy disk

Inka, inka, bottle of ink

Paintings of rebellion

Drawn up by the thoughts I think

Yeah!

Come on!

The militant poet in once again, check it

It's set up like a deck of cards

They're sending us to early graves

For all the diamonds

They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades

With poetry I paint the pictures that hit

More like the murals that fit

Don't turn away

Get in front of it

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?

Did ya lose it on the wall

Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal

Three brothers gone

Come on

Doesn't that make it three in a row?

Anger is a gift

Come on!

Uggh!

Check that!

Uggh!

Come on

Yeah

Uggh!

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?

Did ya lose it on the wall

Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal

Three million gone

Come on

Cause they're counting backwards to zero

Environment

The environment exceeding on the level

Of our unconciousness

For example

What does the billboard say

Come and play, come and play

Forget about the movement

Anger is a gift

Freedom, Freedom, yeah right 

Audioslave - Be yourslef

Audioslave

“Be Yourself”

Someone falls to pieces
Sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
To finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
And another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Untill the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united?
Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Radiohead - Creep

Radiohead

“Creep”

When you were here before

Couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel

Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

I wish I was special

You're so fucking special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts

I want to have control

I want a perfect body

I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice when I'm not around

You're so fucking special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell I'm doing here?

I don't belong here

She's running out the door

She's running out

She runs runs runs

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fucking special

I wish I was special

But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here

Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven

Eric Clapton

“Tears in Heaven”

Would you know my name 

If I saw you in heaven 

Will it be the same 

If I saw you in heaven 

I must be strong, and carry on 

Cause I know I don't belong 

Here in heaven 

Would you hold my hand 

If I saw you in heaven 

Would you help me stand 

If I saw you in heaven 

I'll find my way, through night and day 

Cause I know I just can't stay 

Here in heaven 

Time can bring you down 

Time can bend your knee 

Time can break your heart 

Have you begging please 

Begging please 

Beyond the door 

There's peace I'm sure. 

And I know there'll be no more... 

Tears in heaven 

Would you know my name 

If I saw you in heaven 

Will it be the same 

If I saw you in heaven 

I must be strong, and carry on 

Cause I know I don't belong 

Here in heaven 

The Beatles - I Will

The Beatles

“I Will”

Who knows how long I've loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will.

For if I ever saw you
I didn't catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same.

Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart.

And when at last I find you
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know, I will
I will.

Jewel - Who will save your soul Video

Jewel

"Who Will Save Your Soul"

People living their lives for you on TV
They say they're better than you and you agree
He says "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls"
Says "Come here boys, there ain't nothing for free"
Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill
Another cute cheap thrill
You know you love him if you put in your will

Who will save your soul when it comes to the flower?
Who will save your soul after all the lies that you told, boy?
Who will save your soul if you won't save your own?

We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them
The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue
Another day, another dollar, another war,
Another tower went up, where the homeless had their homes
So we pray to as many different Gods as there are flowers
But we call religion our friend
We're so worried about saving our souls
Afraid that God will take His toll
That we forget to begin

Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their kill
You got social security, but that doesn't pay your bills
There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay
So you bargain with the Devil, say you're OK for today,
You say that you love them, take their money and run
Say it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things
Those flings, those strings you've got to cut,
So get out on the streets, girls, and bust you butts.
