Answer 1

Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here.

"Idiots are Taking Over"

"It's not the right time to be sober. Now the idiots have taken over. Spreading like a social cancer. Is there an answer?

MENSA menbership conceding. Tell me why and how are all these stupid people breeding. Watson, it's really elementary. The Industrial Revolution has flipped a b*tch on evolution. The benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer. The world keeps getting dumber. Insensitivity is standard, and faith is being fancied over reason.

Darwin's rolling over in his coffin, cuz the fittest are surviving much less often. Now everythnig seems to be reversing, and it's worsening. Someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool. Now angry mob mentality is no the exception, it's the rule. And I'm starting to feel a lot like Charlton Heston. Stranded on a primate planet. Apes and orangutans that ran in to the groud, were generals and the armies who obeyed them. Followers following fables. Philosophies that enable them to rule without regard. It sounds all too familiar.

There's no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated. Political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred. majority rule don't work in mendat institutions. Sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions.

So what are we left with, a nation of God fearing pregnant nationalists who feel it's their duty to populate the homeland. Pass on traditions, how to get ahead religions, and prosperity via simpleton culture. THE IDIOTS ARE TAKING OVER."

I LOVE this song!! Check it out!!

Madonna's- Physical Attraction

Physical Attraction
You say that you need my love
And you're wantin' my body
I don't mind
Baby all I've got is time
And I'm waiting to make you mine

You say you wanna stay the night
But you'll leave me tomorrow
I don't care
All of your moves are right
We can take it anywhere

This physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
It's a physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction

Trying hard to get away
But I can't seem to fight the way I feel
Even though you're not for real
Your touch is driving me
Crazy and when you smile
It's just makin' me want you more and more
Baby won't you stay a while
It could be such a fantasy

This physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
Its a physical attraction
Sweet satisfaction

Maybe we were meant to be together
Even though we never met before
We got to move before the sun is rising
And you'll be walking slowly out the door
Out the door

You're confusing me
'Cuz I don't know if you want me
But I know that I want you
But it's nothing to be ashamed of
What are you gonna do

Well, you say that you need my love
And you're wantin' my body
I don't mind
Baby all I've got is time
And I'm waiting to make you mine

You say you wanna stay the night
But you'll leave me tomorrow
I don't care
All of your moves are right
We can take it anywhere

This physical attraction
It's a chemical reaction
It's a physical attraction
Sweet satisfaction ya

Maybe we were meant to be together
Even though we never met before
We got to move before the sun is rising
And you'll be walking slowly out the door
Out the door

Answer 4

Had a bad day by Daniel Pewter it might be called Bad Day

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

(Oooh.. a holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

(yeah...)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Answer 5

Here is the one I love most: Country Music

"I. Unanswered Prayers:

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that god would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

Chorus

Sometimes I thank god for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of god's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

Answer 6

Blurry by Puddle of Mud. I believe the song was written by lead singer for his son.


Everything is blurry and everyone's so fake.
Everyone's is empty and everything is so messed up,
preoccupied without you, I cannot live at all, my whole world
surrounds you, I stumble then I crawl.

You could be my someone, you can be my scene. You know that I'll protect you from all of the obscene. I wonder what you're doing, I wonder where you are, there's oceans in between us, but that's not very far.

Can you take it all away.....


And so on and so on.


The song rocks, no doubt!!!

Answer 7

Imagine, by John Lennon - not my favorite song or favorite singer, but my favorite lyrics


Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Answer 9

must be you're skin i'm sinkin in
must be for real cause now i can feel
and i didn't mind it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why.
everythings gone white
and everythings grey
now you're here now you're away
i don't want this remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
don't let the days go by

Answer 10

For me the best song ever would have to be Freaking at the Freakers Ball by Dr. Hook
*Pardon the politically incorrect lyrics; its a fairly old song*

"The Fags and the Dykes,
They're boogyin together;
The leather freaks are dressed in all kinds of leather;
The greatest of the sadists and the masochists too
Screamin Please hit me! and i'll hit you"
