Fake Plastic Trees by Radio Head

 Her green plastic watering can

For her fake Chinese rubber plantIn the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber manIn a town full of rubber plansTo get rid of itself
It wears her outIt wears her outIt wears her outIt wears her out
She lives with a broken manA cracked polystyrene manWho just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgeryFor girls in the eightiesBut gravity always wins
And it wears him outIt wears him outIt wears him outIt wears
She looks like the real thingShe tastes like the real thingMy fake plastic love
But I can't help the feelingI could blow through the ceilingIf I just turn and run
And it wears me outIt wears me outIt wears me outIt wears me outAnd if I could be who you wantedIf I could be who you wantedAll the timeAll the time

Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio

 As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, thatEven my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve itMe be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard ofYou better watch how you're talkin', and where you're walkin'Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta locAs they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, foolI'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be likeOn my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseBeen spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streetSo I gotta be down with the hood teamToo much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mindGot my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eyeI'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' bangerAnd my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat awayI'm livin' life, do or die, what can I sayI'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?The way things is going, I don't know
Tell me why are we, so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt, are you and me?
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseBeen spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the powerMinute after minute, hour after hourEverybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach meIf they can't understand it, how can they reach meI guess they can't, I guess they won'tI guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseBeen spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we, so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt, are you and me?Tell me why are we, so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt, are you and me?

Diggy Diggy Hole by Wind Rose

 Brothers of the mine rejoice!

Swing, swing, swing with meRaise your pick and raise your voice!Sing, sing, sing with meDown and down into the deepWho knows what we'll find beneath?Diamonds, rubies, gold and moreHidden in the mountain store
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stoneRaised in the dark, the safety of our mountain homeSkin made of iron, steel in our bonesTo dig and dig makes us freeCome on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, diggy diggy holeI am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, digging a hole
The sunlight will not reach this lowDeep, deep in the mineNever seen the blue moon glowDwarves won't fly so highFill a glass and down some mead!Stuff your bellies at the feast!Stumble home and fall asleepDreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground, grown inside a rocky wombThe Earth is our cradle, the mountain shall become our tombFace us on the battlefield, you will meet your doomWe do not fear what lies beneathWe can never dig too deep
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, diggy diggy holeI am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, diggy diggy holeI am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, digging a hole
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stoneRaised in the dark, the safety of our mountain homeSkin made of iron, steel in our bonesTo dig and dig makes us freeCome on brothers sing with me!
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, diggy diggy holeI am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, diggy diggy holeI am a dwarf and I'm digging a holeDiggy diggy hole, digging a hole

God Save the Queen by Diamond Jubilee

 God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!

Not in this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world o’er.

From every latent foe,
From the assassins blow,
God save the Queen!
O’er her thine arm extend,
For Britain’s sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

MAN... THE BRITS FLAT OUT STOLE THIS FROM MY COUNTRY TIZ OF THEE... RIP LIZ... NOW YOUR GOOD FER NOTHIN SON GETS TO BE KING...

Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter by Iron Maiden

                                                     Honey, it's getting close to midnight

And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow, make no sound
If there's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
Unchain your back door
Invite me around

Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Let her go!

Honey, it's getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees, honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know, you know I'm coming soon

Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

So pick up your foolish pride
No going back
Nowhere, no way, no place to hide
Let her go

Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter
To the slaughter

Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter
Fetch your daughter
To the slaughter

Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Bring your daughter
Bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Gonna get you!

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles by Engelbert Humperkinck


I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
They fly so high
Nearly reach the sky
Then like my dreams
They fade and die

Fortune's always hiding
I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air

Fortune's always hiding
I've looked everywhere
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubbles in the air
Pretty bubbles in the air
Pretty bubbles in the air

WELL DUDE... STOP BLOWING BUBBLES,,,, ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DEPRESSING... AND FRANKLY IF YOU ARE NOT DOING IT FOR A TODDLER ITS A LITTLE CREEPY

Left to My Own Devices by The Pet Shop Boys

 I get out of bed at half past ten

phone up a friend who's a party animal
Turn on the news and drink some tea
Maybe if you're with me we'll do some shopping

One day I'll read or learn to drive a car
If you pass the test, you can beat the rest
but I don't like to compete or talk street, street, street
I can pick up the best from the party animal

I could leave you
say good-bye
or I could love you
if I try
and I could
and left to my own devices
I probably would
Left to my own devices
I probably would

Pick up a brochure about the sun
Learn to ignore what the photographer saw
I was always told that you should join a club
stick with the gang if you want to belong

I was a lonely boy, no strength, no joy
in a world of my own at the back of the garden
I didn't want to compete or play out on the street
for in a secret life I was a Roundhead general

I could leave you
say good-bye
or I could love you
if I try
and I could
and left to my own devices
I probably would
Left to my own devices
I probably would
Oh, I would

I was faced with a choice at a difficult age
Would I write a book? Or should I take to the stage?
But in the back of my head I heard distant feet
Che Guevara and Debussy to a disco beat

It's not a crime when you look the way you do
the way I like to picture you
When I get home, it's late at night
I pour a drink and watch the fight
Turn off the TV, look at a book
pick up the phone, fix some food
Maybe I'll sit up all night and day
waiting for the minute I hear you say

I could leave you
say good-bye
or I could love you
if I try
and I could
and left to my own devices
I probably would

Come on, baby
say good-bye
I could love you
if I try
and I could
and left to my own devices
I probably would
Left to my own devices
I probably would

Out of bed at half past ten
the party animal phones a friend
Picks up news about the sun
and the working day has just begun
Sticks with the gang at the back of the street
Pass the test and he don't compete
Drive the car, if you're with me
Che Guevara's drinking tea
He reads about a new device
and takes to the stage in a secret life
(I would if I could)

Left to my own devices
I probably would
If I was left to my own devices
I possibly would
(I would if I could)
If I was left to my own devices
I probably would
If I was left to my own devices
I probably would

I could leave you
say good-bye
or I could love you
if I try
and I could
and left to my own devices
I probably would
Left to my own devices
I probably would
Come on, baby
Left to my own devices
I probably would

Jessie's Girl by Rick Springfield

 Jessie is a friend

Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
I'll play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman-
Where can I find a woman like that?
And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl

Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin

 Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
Everybody!

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!

Don't Speak by No Doubt

 You and me

We used to be together, everyday together
Always, I really feel that I'm losin' my best friend
I can't believe this could be the end
It looks as though you're lettin' go
And if it's real, well, I don't want to know
Don't speak
I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know just what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories
Well, they can be invitin'
But some are altogether mighty frightenin'
As we die both you and I
With my head in my hands, I sit and cry
Don't speak
I know just what you're sayin'
So please stop explainin'
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know just what you're thinkin'
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak

Mama He's Crazy by The Judds

 Mama, I found someone

Like you said would come along
He's a sight and so unlike
Any man I've known
I was afraid to let him in
'Cause I'm not the trustin' kind
But now I'm convinced that he's heaven sent
And must be out of his mind
Mama, he's crazy, crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
And mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me
And mama, you've always said
You better look before you leap
But maybe so, but here I go
Lettin' my heart lead me
He thinks I hung the moon and stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men, but ones like him
Are few and far between
Mama, he's crazy, crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me
Oh mama, he's crazy, he's crazy over me
