Ooh ooh pain is so close to pleasure oh yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all
your life
Ooh ooh pain is so close to pleasure everybody knows
One day we love each other then we're fighting one another
all the time
When I was young and just getting started
And people talked to me they sounded broken hearted
Then I grew up and got my imagination
And all I wanted was to start a new relation
So in love but love had a bad reaction
I was looking for some good old satisfaction
But pain is all I got when all I needed was some love and
affection
Ooh ooh pain is so close to pleasure yeah yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all
your life
Pain and pleasure
Ooh ooh pain and pleasure
When your plans go wrong and you turn out the light
But inside of your mind you have to put up a fight
Where are the answers that we're all searching for
There's nothing in this world to be sure of anymore
Some days you're feeling good some days you're feeling bad
But if you're feeling happy someone else is always sad
Let the sweetness of love wipe the tears from your face
For better for worse so let's make the best of the rest of our
years
Ooh ooh pain is so close to pleasure I told you so
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all
your life
Pain and pleasure
Ooh ooh pain is so close to pleasure yeah yeah
Sunshine and rainy weather go hand in hand together all
your life
All your life
Pain - pleasure ....

Simon and Garfunkel - "Kathy's Song"

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To england where my heart lies.

My mind’s distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you’re asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And as a song I was writing is left undone
I don’t know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can’t believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go i.

John Mayer - "No Such Thing"

Welcome to the real world
She said to me kind of condescendingly
Take a seat, take your life
Plot it out in black and white
Well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
And the drama queens
I’d like to think the best of me
Is still hiding up my sleeve

They love to tell you stay inside the lines
But something’s better on the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you’ve got to rise above

So the good boys and girls take the so-called right track
Faded white hats grabbing the credits and making transfers
They read all the books but they can’t find the answers
And all of our parents, they’re getting older
I wonder if they’ve wished for anything better
While in their memories, tiny tragedies

They love to tell you stay inside the lines
But something’s better on the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you’ve got to rise above

I am invincible
I am invincible
I am invincible
As long as I’m alive

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there’s no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you’ve got to rise above

I just can’t wait till my ten year reunion
I’m gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

BNL - "The Old Apartment"

Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
Broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live

Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live

Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they still are, I want them back

Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
This is where we used to live.

Why did they pave the lawn?
Why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break it, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live

How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your tv and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don’t live here anymore
We bought an old house on the danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I’m happy here
But this is where we used to live

Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux

I want them back
I want them back

Nelly - "Country Grammar" - Edited as much as possible - don't shoot the messenger...

:whistle:
Chorus: nelly

Hmmmmm
I’m goin down down baby, yo’ street in a range rover (c’mon)
Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go (hot sh#t!)
Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? listen to it pound
Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now

I’m goin down down baby, yo’ street in a range rover
Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go
Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? listen to it pound
Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now

[nelly]
Mmmmm, you can find me, in st. louis rollin on dubs
Smokin on dubs in clubs, blowin up like cocoa puffs
Sippin bud, gettin perved and getting dubbed
Daps and hugs, mean mugs and shoulder shrugs
And it’s all because, ’ccumulated enough stretch
Just to navigate it, wood decorated on chrome
And it’s candy painted, fans fainted - while I’m entertainin
Wild ain’t it? how me and money end up hangin
I hang with hannibal lector (hot sh#t!) so feel me when I bring it
Sing it loud (what? ) I’m from the lou’ and I’m proud
Run a mile - for the cause, I’m righteous above the law
Playa my style’s raw, I’m born to mack like todd shaw
Forget the fame, and the glamour
Give me d’s wit a rubber hammer
My grammar be’s ebonics, gin tonic and chronic
F#ck bionic it’s ironic, slammin niggaz like onyx
Lunatics til the day I die
I run more game than the bulls and sonics

Chorus

[nelly]
Who say pretty boys can’t be wild niggaz?
Loud niggaz, o.k. corral niggaz
Foul niggaz, run in the club and bust in the crowd *****
How *****? ask me again and it’s goin down *****
Now *****, come to the circus and watch me clown *****
Pound niggaz, what you be givin when I’m around *****
Frown niggaz, talkin #### when I leave the town *****
Say now, can you hoes come out to play now
Hey i’m, ready to cut you up any day now
Play by, my rules boo and you gon’ stay high
May i, answer yo’ +third question+ like a.i.
Say hi, to my niggaz left in the slamma
From st. louis to memphis
From texas back up to indiana, chi-town
K.c. motown to alabama
L-a, new york yankee niggaz to hotlanta
’ouisiana, all my niggaz wit country grammar
Smokin blunts in savannah
Blow thirty mill’ like I’m hammer

Chorus

[nelly]
Let’s show these cats to make these milli-ons
So you niggaz quit actin silly, mon
+kid+ quicker than +billy+, mon
Talkin really and I need it mon
Foes I kick em freely mon, ’specially off remi, mon
Keys to my beemer, mon - holla at beenie man
See me, mon, cheifin rollin deeper than any mon
Through jennings mon, through u-city back up to kingsland
Wit nice niggaz, sheist niggaz who snatch yo’ life niggaz
Trife niggaz, who produce and sell the same beat twice, *****
(hot ####!) ice niggaz, all over close to never sober
From broke to havin dough, cause my price range is rover
Now I’m knockin like jehovah - let me in now, let me in now
Bill gates, donald trump let me in now
Spin now, I got money to lend my friends now
We in now, candy benz, kenwood and 10s now
I win now (whoo!) f#ckin lesbian twins now
Seein now, through the pen I make my ends now

Chorus

Kiss - "Beth"

Beth, I hear you callin’
But I can’t come home right now
Me and the boys are playin’
And we just can’t find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I’ll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin’
Oh, beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain’t a home
And I’m always somewhere else
And you’re always there alone

Just a few more hours
And I’ll be right home to you
I think I hear them callin’
Oh, beth what can I do
Beth what can I do

Beth, I know you’re lonely
And I hope you’ll be alright
’cause me and the boys will be playin’
All night

Train - "Drops of Jupiter"

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like june, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she’s back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there’s time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol’ jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the milky way

Repeat 1st chorus

Enough Outta Me for One Night?

Frou Frou - "Let Go"

drink up, baby down
mmm, are you in or are you out
leave your things behind
'cause it's all going off without you
excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy
these mishaps
you bubble wrap
when you've no idea what you're like

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

it gains the more it gives
and then it rises with the fall
so hand me that remote
can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow

such boundless pleasure
we've no time for later now
you can't await your own arrival
you've 20 seconds to comply

so let go, jump in
oh well, whatcha waiting for
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown
so let go, just get in
oh, it's so amazing here
it's alright
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown

Ozzy - "Mama, I'm Coming Home"

Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain’t the same
Mama, I’m coming home
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I’m coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned aroound
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can’t stand to say goodbye
Mama, I’m coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it’s been so long
Mama, I’m coming home

Selfish love yeah we’re both alone
The ride before the fall
But I’m gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

Chorus
I’ve seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we’ve been apart
I don’t care about the sunshine, yeah
’cause mama, mama, I’m coming home
I’m coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
