    Artist: B.J. Thomas Lyrics
    Song: Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head Lyrics
    Raindrops 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 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

    [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


    (I love this song specially in the rain )

    THE CHAPEL OF LOVE (Dixie Cups)

    Spring is here
    The sky is blue
    (whoa-whoa-whoa)
    Birds all sing
    As if they knew
    Today's the day
    We'll say I do
    And we'll never be lonely anymore
    Because we're

    Goin' to the chapel and we're
    Gonna get married
    Goin' to the chapel and we're
    Gonna get married
    Gee, I really love you and we're
    Gonna get married
    Goin' to the chapel of love

    Bells will ring
    The sun will shine
    (whoa-whoa-whoa)
    I'll be his and
    He'll be mine
    We'll love until
    The end of time
    And we'll never be lonely anymore
    Because we're

    Goin' to the chapel and we're
    Gonna get married
    Goin' to the chapel and we're
    Gonna get married
    Gee, I really love you and we're
    Gonna get married
    Goin' to the chapel of love

    Fall Out Boy -- 'Of All the Gin Joints in All the World'
    |From Under the Cork Tree|


    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

    You only hold me up like this
    'Cause you don't know who I really am
    Sometimes I just wanna know what it's like to be you
    We're making out inside crashed cars
    We're sleeping through all the memories
    I used to waste my time dreaming of being alive
    Now I only waste it dreaming of you

    Turn off the lights
    And turn off the shyness
    'Cause all of our moves
    Make up for the silence
    And oh, the wa-a-ay
    Your make-up stains my pillowcase
    Like I'll never be the same

    You only hold me up like this
    'Cause you don't know who I really a-a-am
    Used to waste my time on
    Waste my time o-o-o-on
    Dreaming of being alive

    Now I only waste it dreaming of you

    Turn off the lights
    And turn off the shyness
    'Cause all of our moves
    Make up for the silence
    And oh, the wa-a-ay (wa-a-ay)
    Your make-up stains my pillowcase
    Like I'll never be the same

    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
    Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

    I've got headaches and bad luck
    But they couldn't touch you, no-o
    I've got headaches and bad luck
    But they couldn't touch you, no-o
    I'm not trying, you only hold me up like this

    Turn off the lights
    And turn off the shyness
    'Cause all of our moves
    Make up for the silence
    And oh, the wa-a-ay (wa-a-ay)
    Your make-up sta-a-ains (sta-a-ains)
    Like I'll never be the sa-a-ame
    (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

    Somewhere i belong - Linkin park

    [Verse 1]
    I had nothing to say
    and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me
    (i was confused)
    and i live it all out to find, but im not the only person wit these things in mind
    (inside of me)
    but all that they can see the words revealed
    is the only real thing that i got left to feel
    (nothing to lose)
    just stuck hollow and alone
    and the fault is my own and the fault is my own

    [Chorus]
    i wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real
    i wanna let go of the pain ive felt so long.
    erase all the pain til its gone
    i wanna heal i wanna feel like im close to something real.
    i wanna find something ive wanted all along
    somewhere i belong

    and i got nothing to say. i cant believe i didnt fall right down on my face
    (i was confused)
    look at everywhere only to find.
    it is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind.
    (so what am i)
    what do i have but negativity
    cuz i cant trust no one by the way everyone is looking at me
    (nothing to lose)
    nothing to gain im hollow and alone
    and the fault is my own
    and the fault is my own

    [repeat chorus]

    [Verse 3] (Chester)
    I will never know myself until i do this on my own
    cuz i will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
    i will never be anything til i break away from me
    i will break away. ill find myself today

    [repeat chorus]

    Girls Lie Too - Terri Clark

    So she can?t go out tonight again
    Her sister?s sick, she?s gotta baby-sit
    Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good excuse

    Now you didn?t hear any of this from me
    But things aren?t always what they seem
    Brace yourself, this may come as a shock to you

    (chorus)
    Girls lie too
    We don?t care how much money you make
    What you drive or what you weigh
    Size don?t matter anyway
    Girls lie too
    Don?t think you?re the only ones
    Who bend and break and stretch it some
    We learn from you
    Girls lie too

    We can?t wait to hear about your round of golf
    We love to see deer heads hanging on the wall
    And we like Hooter?s for their hotwings too

    Other guys never cross our minds
    We don?t wonder what it might be like
    How could it be any better than it is with you

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Yeah, girls lie too
    We always forgive and forget
    The cards and flowers you never sent
    Will never be brought up again
    Girls lie too
    Old gray sweatpants turn us on
    We like your friends and we love your mom
    And that's the truth
    Girls lie too
    Yeah that?s the truth
    Girls lie too

    No, we don?t care how much hair you have
    Yeah, that looks good
    Comb it over like that

    Behind These Hazel Eyes- Kelly Clarkson

    Seems like just yesterday
    You were a part of me
    I used to stand so tall
    I used to be so strong.
    Your arms around me tight
    Everything it felt so right
    Unbreakable like nothing could go wrong
    Now I can't breath no I can't sleep
    I'm barely hanging on.

    (Chorus)
    Here I am
    Once again
    I'm torn into pieces
    Can't deny it can't pretend
    Just thought you were the one
    Broken up deep inside
    But you won't get to see the tears I cry
    Behind these hazel eyes

    I told you everything
    Opened up and let you in
    You made me feel all right
    For once in my life
    Now all thats left of me
    Is what I pretend to be
    So together but so broken up inside
    'Cause I can't Breath no I can't sleep
    I'm barely hanging on.

    (Chorus)
    Here I am
    Once again
    I'm torn into pieces
    Can't deny it can't pretend
    Just thought you were the one
    Broken up deep inside
    But you won't get to see the tears I cry
    Behind these hazel eyes

    Swallow me then spit me out
    For Hating you I blame my self
    Seeing you it kills me now
    No I don't cry on the outside
    Anymore...

    (Chorus)2 times

    Fort Minor - Believe Me

    [chorus]
    I guess
    That this is where we've come to
    If you don't want to
    Then you don't have to believe me
    But I won't be there when you go down
    Just so you know now
    You're on your own now believe me

    I don't want to be the one to blame
    You like fun and games
    Keep playing em
    I'm just sayin
    Think back then
    We was like one and the same
    On the right track
    But I was on the wrong train
    Just like that
    Now you've got a face to pain
    And the devil's got a fresh new place to play
    In your brain like a maze you can never escape the rain
    Every damn day is the same shade of grey

    Hey
    I used have a little bit of a plan
    Used to
    Have a concept of where I stand
    But that concept slipped right out of my hands
    Now I don't really even know who I am
    Yo, what do I have to say
    Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
    What ever happens to you, we'll see
    But it's not gonna happen to me

    [chorus]
    I guess
    That this is where we've come to
    If you don't want to
    Then you don't have to believe me
    But I won't be there when you go down
    Just so you know now
    You're on your own now believe me

    Back then, I thought you were just like me
    Somebody who could see all the pain I see
    But you proved to me unintentionally
    That you would self-destruct eventually
    Now I'm thinking like the mistake I made doesn't hurt
    But it's not gonna work
    Cause it's really much worse than I thought
    I wished you were something that you were not
    And now this guilt is really all that I got

    You turned your back
    And walked away in shame
    All you got is a memory of pain
    Nothing makes sense so you stare at the ground
    I hear your voice in my head when no one's around
    What do I have to say
    Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free
    What ever happens to you, we'll see
    But it's not gonna happen to me

    [chorus]
    I guess
    That this is where we've come to
    If you don't want to
    Then you don't have to believe me
    But I won't be there when you go down
    Just so you know now
    You're on your own now believe me

    [bridge]

    [chorus]
    I guess
    That this is where we've come to
    If you don't want to
    Then you don't have to believe me
    But I won't be there when you go down
    Just so you know now
    You're on your own now believe me

    Do what i have to do
    You're on your own now believe me

    What ever happens to you
    You're on your own now believe me

    What do I have to say
    You're on your own now believe me

    It's not gonna happen to me
    You're on your own now believe me

    Nas - "One Mic"


    [speaking softly, gradually getting louder]
    One time.. yeah.. yeah..

    Yo, all I need is one mic, one beat, one stage
    One nigga front, my face on the front page
    Only if I had one gun, one girl and one crib
    One God to show me how to do things his son did
    Pure, like a cup of virgin blood; mixed with
    151, one sip'll make a nigga flip
    Writin names on my hollow tips, plottin ****
    Mad violence who I'm gon' body, this hood politics
    Ackowledge it, leave bodies chopped up in garbages
    Seeds watch us, grow up and try to follow us
    Police watch us {*siren*} roll up and try knockin us
    One knee I ducked, could it be my time is up
    But my luck, I got up, the cop shot again
    Bus stop glass bursts, a fiend drops his Heineken
    Richochetin between the spots that I'm hidin in
    Blackin out as I shoot back, **** gettin hit! [more sirens]
    This is my hood I'ma rep, to the death of it
    'til everybody come home, little niggaz is grown
    Hoodrats, don't abortion your womb, we need more warriors soon
    Sip from the star sun and the moon
    In this life of police chases street sweepers and coppers
    Stick-up kids with no conscience, leavin victims with doctors
    IF YOU REALLY THINK YOU READY TO DIE, WITH NINES OUT
    THIS IS WHAT NAS IS BOUT, NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW!

    [whispering again]
    Yo, all I need is one mic..
    All I need is one mic.. that's all I need
    All I need is one mic.. all I need niggaz
    All I need is one mic.. yeah

    [gradually getting louder]
    All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen
    One prayer - tell God forgive me for one sin
    Matter fact maybe more than one, look back
    at all the hatred against me, **** alla them
    Jesus died at age 33, there's thirty-three shots
    from twin glocks there's sixteen apiece, that's thirty-two
    Which means, one of my guns was holdin 17
    Twenty-seven hit your crew, six went into you
    Everybody gotta die sometime; hope your funeral
    never gets shot up, bullets tear through the innocent
    Nothin is fair, niggaz roll up, shootin from wheelchairs
    My heart is racin, tastin revenge in the air
    I let the **** slide for too many years, too many times
    Now I'm strapped with a couple of macs, too many nines
    If y'all niggaz really wit me get busy load up the semis
    Do more than just hold it explode the clip until you empty
    There's nothin in our way - they bust, we bust, they rust, we rust
    Lead flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut
    THAT WE TAKE THESE *****ES TO WAR, LIE 'EM DOWN
    CAUSE WE STRONGER NOW MY NIGGA THE TIME IS NOW!!

    [whispering again]
    All I need is one mic.. that's all I need, that's all I need
    All I need is one mic.. there's nuttin else in the world
    All I need is one mic.. that's all a nigga need to do his thing y'know
    All I need is one mic..

    [starting loud this time, getting quieter]
    ALL I NEED IS ONE LIFE, ONE TRY, ONE BREATH I'M ONE MAN
    WHAT I STAND FOR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
    Or wanna see me on top, too egotistical
    Talkin all that slick ****, the same way these *****es do
    Wonder what my secrets is, niggaz'll move on you
    only if they know, what your weakness is I have none
    Too late to grab guns I'm blastin cause I'm a cool nigga
    Thought I wouldn't have that *** done? Fooled you niggaz
    What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin
    War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
    Complete with thick scars, brothers knifin each other
    up in prison yards, drama, where does it start?
    You know the block was ill as a youngster
    Every night it was like a, cop would get killed body found in the dumpster
    For real a hustler, purchased my Range, niggaz throwin dirt on my name
    Jealous cause fiends got they work and complain
    *****es left me cause they thought I was finished
    Shoulda knew she wasn't true she came to me when her man caught a sentence
    Diamonds are blindin, I never make the same mistakes
    Movin with a change of pace, lighter load, see now the king is straight
    Swellin my melon cause none of these niggaz real
    Heard he was, tellin police, how can a kingpin squeal?
    This is crazy, I'm on the right track I'm finally found
    You need some soul searchin, the time is now

    All I need is one mic.. yeah, yeah yeah yeah
    All I need is one mic.. that's all I ever needed in this world, **** cash
    All I need is one mic.. **** the cars, the jewelry
    All I need is one mic.. to spread my voice to the whole world

    2Pac - "Baby Don't Cry"

    [2Pac]
    I feel you {uhh .. (baby don't)
    but you can't, you can't give up
    {Hey.. 2Pac what?

    [2Pac + H.E.A.T.]
    Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up {Outlawz
    Even when the road is hard, never give up
    Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up {Keep ya head up

    [2Pac]
    Now here's a story bout a woman with dreams
    So picture perfect at thirteen, an ebony queen
    Beneath the surface it was more than just a crooked smile
    Nobody knew about her secret so it took a while
    I could see a tear fall slow down her black cheek
    Sheddin quiet tears in the back seat; so when she asked me,
    "What would you do if it was you?"
    Couldn't answer such a horrible pain to live through
    I tried to trade places in the tragedy
    I couldn't picture three crazed niggaz grabbin me
    For just a moment I was trapped in the pain, Lord come and take me
    Four niggaz violated, they chased and they raped me
    Even though it wasn't me, I could feel the grief
    Thinkin with your brains blown that would make the pain go
    No! You got to find a way to survive
    cause they win when your soul dies

    [2Pac + H.E.A.T.]
    Baby please don't cry, you got to keep your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up
    Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up
    Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up {never give up
    Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up {never give up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up
    Baby don't cry

    [Edi Amin]
    Uhh
    Forget him girl (forget him girl) he ain't gon' never change
    I ain't no hater but that nigga lost in the game
    After the bright lights and big thangs
    he probably could love you, but he in love with the struggle
    Everyday, his mind on gettin mo' (gettin mo')
    and never your feelings, he's chasin millions fo' sho'
    Uh oh (uh oh), now you bout to have his baby? (dayamn)
    Another wild-*** nigga that's gon' drive you crazy
    You got too much, mo', livin to do - I'm spittin this to you,
    cause you deserve more than what he givin to you (that's right)
    Beautiful, black, precious, and complicated
    A new millennium dime piece, so fine she
    got em all stuck standin still when she come through
    Baby take a little mo' time, love'll find you
    And show us the sky's blue somebody other than me
    gon' give you everything you need, feel me?
    {Don't cry-ahhhhh..

    [2Pac + H.E.A.T.]
    Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up {you'll be alright
    Baby don't cry, you got to keep your head up
    Even when the road is hard, never give up {you'll be alright
    Baby don't cry, I hope you got your head up

    2Pac & Bruce Hornsby - Changes/Way It Is

    [2Pac]
    Come on come on
    I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
    is life worth living should I blast myself?
    I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black
    my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
    Cops give a damn about a negro
    pull the trigger kill a ***** he's a hero
    Give the ***** to the kids who the hell cares
    one less hungry mouth on the welfare
    First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers
    give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other
    It's time to fight back that's what Huey said
    2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead
    I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere
    unless we share with each other
    We gotta start makin' changes
    learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers
    and that's how it's supposed to be
    How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?
    I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
    but things changed, and that's the way it is

    {Swithes to Bruce Hornsby}

    [Bruce Hornsby]
    Standing in line marking time--
    Waiting for the welfare dime
    'Cause they can't buy a job
    The man in the silk suit hurries by
    As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes
    Just for fun he says "Get a job"

    That's just the way it is
    Some things will never change
    That's just the way it is
    But don't you believe them

    They say hey little boy you can't go
    Where the others go
    'Cause you don't look like they do
    Said hey old man how can you stand
    To think that way
    Did you really think about it
    Before you made the rules
    He said, Son

    {Swithes to 2Pac}

    [Chorus]
    Come on come on
    That's just the way it is
    Things'll never be the same
    That's just the way it is
    aww yeah

    [2Pac]
    I see no changes all I see is racist faces
    misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
    We under I wonder what it takes to make this
    one better place, let's erase the wasted
    Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right
    'cause both black and white is smokin' ***** tonight
    and only time we chill is when we kill each other
    it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
    And although it seems heaven sent
    We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh
    It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact
    the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
    But some things will never change
    try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game
    Now tell me what's a mother to do
    bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you
    You gotta operate the easy way
    "I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way
    sellin' ***** to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"
    Well hey, well that's the way it is

    [Chorus]
    That's just the way it is.....

    {Swithes to Bruce Hornsby}

    [Bruce Hornsby]
    .....But don't you believe them

    {Instrumental part of "The Way It Is"; Swithes to 2Pac}

    [Chorus]

    [2pac Talking]
    We gotta make a change...
    It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
    Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
    and let's change the way we treat each other.
    You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
    what we gotta do, to survive.

    [Back to rapping]
    And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace
    It's war on the streets & the war in the Middle East
    Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs
    so the police can bother me
    And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do
    But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
    Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
    crack you up and pimp slap you up
    You gotta learn to hold ya own
    they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
    But tell the cops they can't touch this
    I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
    That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
    my mama didn't raise no fool
    And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
    & I never get to lay back
    'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
    some buck that I roughed up way back
    comin' back after all these years
    rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is

    {Swithes to Bruce Hornsby}

    [Bruce Hornsby]
    Because the law don't change another's mind
    When all it sees at the hiring time
    Is the line on the color bar

    {Swithes to 2Pac}

    [Chorus 'til fade]

    Artist:Manfred Mann's Earth Band
    Title: Mighty Quinn


    "Come all without
    Come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without
    Come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Everybody's building ships and boats
    Some are building monuments,
    others jotting down notes
    Everybody's in despair, every girl and boy,
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
    Everybody's gonna jump for joy.

    Come on without
    Come on within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    I like to go just like the rest,
    I like my sugar sweet
    But jumping queues and making haste just ain't my cup of meat
    Everybody's beneath the trees
    feeding pidgeons on a limb
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
    all the pidgeons gonna run to him.

    Come all without
    Come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn
    Come all without
    Come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Let me do what I wanna do,
    I can't decide 'em all
    Just tell me where to put 'em
    and I'll tell you who to call
    Nobody can get no sleep
    there's someone on everyone's toes
    But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
    everybody's gonna wanna doze

    Come all without(just singin a song)
    Come all within(everybody)
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn(I wanna hear you sing!)

    Come all without
    Come all within (here he comes now)
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn (let's come on and sing)

    Come all without (just singin a song)
    Come all within (everybody)
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

    Come all without
    Come all within
    You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn "




    Manfred Mann is so awsome ^^

    Every Planet We Reach Is Dead - Gorillaz

    I lost my leg like I lost my way
    So no loose ends
    Nothing to see me down
    How are we going to work this out?

    Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back
    I love the gun
    But God only knows it's
    Getting hard to see the sun coming through
    I love you...
    But what are we going to do?

    Picture i'm a dreamer
    I'll take you deeper
    Down to the sleepy glow
    Time is a low..
    Don't you know?
    What are we going to do?

    When you go back
    All the second selfless days
    You're in love with him
    I want to see you again
    I love you...
    But what are we going to do?

    eagles - Theres a hole in the world
    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

    They say that anger is just love disappointed.
    They say that love is just a state of mind.
    But all this fighting over who is anointed,
    Oh, how can people be so blind?

    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

    Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder
    Cool water running through the burning sand.
    Until we learn to love one another,
    We will never reach the Promised Land.

    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

    (There's a hole in the world tonight.)
    They say that anger is just love disappointed.
    (There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.)

    (Fear and sorrow)
    There's a hole in the world tonight.
    (Ooooh)
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
    Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    Demon Days - Gorillaz

    In demon days, it's cold inside
    You don't get nobody, people sigh
    It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
    Hiding in a hole in there
    All the glasses are too big
    Bring it back, got to hold it back
    To let you do that yet you don't want me back
    Before it fall down, falling down falling down
    Falling out to go far from the soul (ah)

    2x
    In these demon days
    It's so cold inside
    so hard for a good soul to survive
    You can't even trust the air you breathe
    because mother earth wants us all to leave
    when lies become reality
    you numb yourself with drugs and t.v.
    lift yourself up it's a brand new day
    so turn yourself round
    don't burn yourself, turn yourself
    turn yourself around
    into the sun!

    to the sun, to the sun...
    To the sun, to the sun...

    Oomph! -- 'Brennende Liebe'

    Wie viele N?chte lang hab ich in dir gewohnt?
    Wie viele Tr?ume lang hat mich dein Schmerz belohnt?
    Wie viele N?chte lang hast du dich schon verlorn?
    Wie viele Tr?ume lang hab ich dich neu geborn?

    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    kann dich kein D?mon erl?sen
    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

    Wie viele N?chte lang hab ich dich heimgesucht?
    Wie viele Tr?ume lang hast du mich schon verflucht?
    Wie viele N?chte lang hab ich von dir gez?hrt?
    Wie viele Tr?ume lang hat mich dein herz ern?hrt?

    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    kann dich kein D?mon erl?sen
    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    (Wie viele N?chte lang)
    kann dich kein D?mon erl?sen
    (Wie viele Tr?ume)
    Von meiner brennende Liebe
    (Wie viele N?chte lang)
    kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

    Komm und verbrenn dir deine Haut
    Vergeude den Schmerz tief in dir

    Kann dich kein Gott und kein Wunder mehr befreien

    English translation:
    How many nights have I lived in you
    How many dreams have I rewarded your pain
    How many nights have you lost yourself
    How many dreams have I given birth to for you

    From my burning love
    No demon can save you
    From my burning love
    No God and no miracle can save you anymore

    How many nights have I looked for a home for you
    How many nights have you cursed me
    How many nights have I fed on you
    How many dreams have I nourished your heart

    From my burning love
    No demon can save you
    From my burning love
    No God and no miracle can save you anymore

    Come and burn your skin
    Waste the pain deep in you
    Come and burn your skin

    From my burning love
    No demon can save you
    From my burning love
    No God and no miracle can save you anymore

    Hong Kong - Gorillaz

    Lord, hear me now
    Junk boats and English boys
    Crashing out into the noise
    Electric fences and guns

    You swallow me
    I'm a pill on your tongue
    Here on the nighting floor
    The neon lights make me numb

    And late in a star's life
    It begins to explode
    And all the people in a dream
    Wait for the machine
    Pick the **** up leave it clean

    Kid hang over here
    What you learning in school?
    It's the rise of an eastern sun
    Gonna be good for everyone

    The radio station disappeared
    Music turned into thin air
    The DJ was the last to leave
    She had well conditioned hair
    Was beautiful but nothing really was there

    Ghetto Gospel- Tupac featuring Elton John

    Uhh,
    Hit them with a lil' ghetto gospel

    [Chorus - Elton John:]
    Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel)
    I welcome with my hands
    And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
    And peace to this young warrior without the sound of guns

    [2Pac]
    If I could recollect before my hood dayz
    I'd sit and reminisce, nigga and bliss on the good dayz
    I stop and stare at the younger, my heart goes to'em
    They tested, it was stressed that they under
    In our days, things changed
    Everyone's ashamed to the youth cuz the truth looks strange
    And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts
    cause any day they'll push the button
    and yall condemned like Malcolm x and Bobby Hunton, died for nothin
    Don't them let me get teary, the world looks dreary
    but when you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
    there's no need for you to fear me
    if you take your time to hear me, maybe you can learn to cheer me
    it aint about black or white, cuz we're human
    I hope we see the light before its ruined
    my ghetto gospel

    [Chorus - Elton John]

    [2Pac]
    Tell me do you see that old lady aint it sad
    Living out a bag, but she's glad for the little things she has
    And over there there's a lady, crack got her crazy
    Guess she's given birth to a baby
    I don't trip and let it fade me, from outta the frying pan
    We jump into another form of slavery
    Even now I get discouraged
    Wonder if they take it all back while I still keep the courage
    I refuse to be a role model
    I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottle
    I make mistakes, I learn from everyone
    And when its said and done
    I bet this Brotha be a better one
    If I'm upset, you don't stress
    Never forget, that God hasn't finished with me yet
    I feel his hand on my brain
    When I write rhymes, I go blind, and let the lord do his thang
    But am I less holy
    Cuz I choose to puff a blunt and drink a beer with my homies
    Before we find world peace
    We gotta find peace in that war on the streets
    My ghetto gospel

    [Chorus - Elton John]

    [2Pac]
    Lord can you hear me speak!!
    To pay the price of being hell bound...

    MercyMe - I Can Only Imagine

    I can only imagine
    What it will be like
    When I walk
    By your side

    I can only imagine
    What my eyes will see
    When your face
    Is before me
    I can only imagine

    [Chorus:]
    Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
    Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
    Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
    Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
    I can only imagine

    I can only imagine
    When that day comes
    And I find myself
    Standing in the Son

    I can only imagine
    When all I will do
    Is forever
    Forever worship You
    I can only imagine

    [Chorus]

    I can only imagine [x2]

    I can only imagine
    When all I will do
    Is forever, forever worship you

    But now I'm back with the blacks givin' it back to you
    Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,
    crack you up and pimp slap you up
    You gotta learn to hold ya own
    they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
    But tell the cops they can't touch this
    I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this
    That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool
    my mama didn't raise no fool
    And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped
    & I never get to lay back
    'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs
    some buck that I roughed up way back
    comin' back after all these years
    rat-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

    [Bridge 'til fade]
