Something Beautiful

If you can't wake up in the morning
Cause your bed lies vacant at night
If you're lost, hurt, tired or lonely
Can't control it, try as you might
May you find that love that won't leave you
May you find it by the end of the day
You won't be lost, hurt, tired and lonely
Something beautiful will come your way


Robbie Williams, Something Beautiful

Dirty Day

You can hold onto something so tight
You've already lost it

Gotta Get Away

Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There‘s demons in my head
And it‘s more than I can take
I think I‘m on a roll
But I think it‘s kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me


—Dexter Holland (The Offspring), Gotta Get Away

Already There

You can do anything you want to
All you've got to do is try


—Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), Already There

Zoo Station

I'm ready
I'm ready for the laughing gas
I'm ready
I'm ready for what's next
I'm ready to duck
I'm ready to dive
I'm ready to say
I'm glad to be alive
I'm ready
I'm ready for the push



—Bono (U2), Zoo Station

Redemption Song

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds


Bob Marley, Redemption Song

On Your Own

All I want is someone who can fill the hole
In the life I know
In between life and death
When there's nothing left

Do you wanna know?

You come in on your own
And you leave on your own
Forget the lovers you've known
And your friends on the road


—Richard Ashcroft (The Verve), On Your Own

The Wanderer

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents


—Bono (U2) (but sang by Jonnhy Cash on the album), The Wanderer

Losing My Religion

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion


Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Losing My Religion

Live Forever

Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live but don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever


Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Live Forever

Better Man

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I'm doing all I can
To be a better man


Robbie Williams, Better Man

The Masterplan

I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way


Noel Gallagher (Oasis), The Masterplan

One

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should

One life
With each other
Sisters, brothers



—Bono (U2), One

Hollow Man

I've been lost
Inside my head
Echoes fall on me
I took the price last night
For complicated mess
Persuading things
I didn't mean
And don't believe


Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Hollow Man

Imagine

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


John Lennon, Imagine

Where The Streets Have No Name

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name


—Bono (U2), Where The Streets Have No Name

Three Little Birds

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"


Bob Marley, Three Little Birds

Swallowed In The Sea

Oh, what good is it to live,
With nothing left to give;
Forget, but not forgive
Not loving all you see


—Chris Martin (Coldplay), Swallowed In The Sea

Miracle Drug

Of science and the human heart
There is no limit
There is no failure here sweetheart
Just when you quit...

Wake Up Dead Man

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum in the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time


—Bono (U2), Wake Up Dead Man

Help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.


—Lennon/McCartney (The Beatles), Help!

Cigarettes & Alcohol

Is it worth the aggravation
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?

Nitro (Youth Energy)

We are the ones
Who are living under the gun everyday
You might be gone before you know
So live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me


—Dexter Holland (The Offspring), Nitro (Youth Energy)

Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Cos all of the stars have faded away
Just try not to worry
You'll see them some day
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out


Noel Gallagher (Oasis), Stop Crying Your Heart Out

Summer Rain

It's not why you're running
It's where you're going
It's not what you're dreaming
But what you're gonna do

It's not where you're born
It's where you belong
It's not how weak
But what will make you strong


—Bono (U2), Summer Rain

Little By Little

True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
