Never Back Down by Novastar

  • what have you done
  • putting aside all I feel
  • driving me out your hand on the wheel
  • I'm only a friend
  • when you depend upon me
  • taking your time to get back on your feet
  • I don't mind if
  • lies keep talking
  • but you never back down
  • hurts me so much
  • no, I don't mind it
  • I'm glad to leave the earth
  • haunts me
  • never back down
  • hurts me
  • never back down
  • hurts me
  • just get it back
  • what have you done
  • putting aside what's real
  • driving me out your hand on the wheel
  • I'm blaming myself
  • as if nobody else is to blame
  • taking your time to get back to your game
  • I don't mind if
  • lies keep talking
  • but you never back down
  • it hurts me so much
  • no, I don't mind it
  • I'm glad to leave the earth
  • haunts me
  • never back down
  • hurts me
  • but you never back down
  • hurts me
  • just get it back
  • just give me back love now
  • give me my love now
  • just give me back love now
  • give me my love now
  • never back down
  • lies keep talking
  • you never back down
  • hurts me so much
  • never back down
  • glad to leave the earth

    Leaders of the Free World by Elbow

    I'm sick of working for a living
    I'm just ticking off the days till I die
    Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah
    And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth

    Oh, periscope up
    I've been looking for a ladder
    I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
    And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

    Your mum don't sleep, oh
    And the friends you keep
    I didn't raise a thief
    I didn't raise a thief

    But the leaders of the free world
    Are just little boys throwing stones
    And it's easy to ignore
    Till they're knocking on the door of your homes, yeah

    My thinking isn't driven, oh
    But the music always gives me a lift
    I'm so easy to please, yeah
    But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no

    Oh, periscope up
    Should be looking for a ladder
    I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
    And remind him what was passed on to you and me, oh

    Your mum don't sleep, oh
    And the friends you keep
    I didn't raise a thief
    I didn't raise a thief

    But the leaders of the free world
    Are just little boys throwing stones
    And it's easy to ignore
    Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

    But the leaders of the free world
    Are just little boys throwing stones
    And it's easy to ignore
    Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

    Passing the gun from father to feckless son
    We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
    Passing the gun from father to feckless son
    We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young

    (Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
    Oh, periscope up
    I've been looking for a ladder
    (We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)
    I need to see the Commander In Chief, ooh
    And remind him what was passed on to me, oh

    (Passing the gun from father to feckless son)
    Oh, periscope up
    I've been looking for a ladder
    (We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young)

    Bone Dry by The Eels

    In my dream I see you there
    Your eyes fixed in a vacant stare
    A little laugh, a crooked smile
    Don't lift a finger while I lay dying

    Bone dry
    You drank all the blood
    My heart is bone dry
    Can't give you more
    'Cause you took all of it
    Sha-la-la

    Was a day when I did believe
    The things you say are what you mean
    Dear sweet, innocent me
    How much it took for me to finally see

    Bone dry
    You drank all the blood
    My heart is bone dry
    Can't give you more
    'Cause you took all of it
    Sha-la-la
    Sha-la-la

    Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo
    Shoo-bee-doo bee
    Shoo-bee-doo bee-doo bee-doo

    What becomes of men like me
    Drifting off, lost at sea
    I set a fire, look up for it
    Looking for me, I'm a pink sunset

    Bone dry (Sha-la-la)
    You drank all the blood
    My heart is bone dry (Sha-la-la)
    Can't give you more
    'Cause you took all of it
    Sha-la-la

    Bone dry
    Sha-la-la
    Bone dry
    You took all of it
    Sha-la-la
    Sha-la-la
    Sha-la-la
    Sha-la-la

    I've Got A Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song)

    Joke me something awful just like kisses on the necks of "best friends"
    We're the kids who feel like dead ends
    And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
    I took a shot and didn't even come close
    At trust and love and hope
    And the poets are just kids who didn't make it
    And never had it at all

    And the record won't stop skipping
    And the lies just won't stop slipping
    And besides my reputation's on the line
    We can fake it for the airwaves
    Force our smiles, baby, half dead
    From comparing myself to everyone else around me

    Please put the doctor on the phone cause I'm not making any sense
    Blame everyone but me for this mess
    And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
    We never seemed so far
    I'm hopelessly hopeful, you're just hopeless enough
    But we never had it at all

    And the record won't stop skipping
    And the lies just won't stop slipping
    And besides my reputation's on the line
    We can fake it for the airwaves
    Force our smiles, baby, half dead
    From comparing myself to everyone else around me
    to everyone else around me
    everyone else around me
    everyone else around me
