Hello City - Lyrics - Rock Spectacle (Live) - Barenaked Ladies

Title: Hello City
Album: Rock Spectacle (Live)
Artist: Barenaked Ladies
Composer(s): Steven J Page, Ed Robertson

Lyric:
Hello city

Another night at the palace 'cause there is nothing else to do
The same people, the same drinks
And the same music, the same quicksand
I think this harbor town is waist deep and sinking fast

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Hello city, hello city

Second night at the warehouse and my mock turtleneck just reeks
From the liquor room to the change room
To the doom and gloom of the hotel room
I think this seaside beer hall would sink into the Bay

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Hello city, hello city

Maybe I caught you at a bad time
Maybe I should call you back next week
Maybe half the fault was mine that
The sun didn't shine on Barrington Street

It's 3 O'clock in the morning and I'm hungry so let's eat
Climb down three flights to the streetlights
And the bar-fights, we're just taking in the sights
I hope tomorrow that I wake up in my own bed

Hello city, you've found an enemy in me
Hello city, hello city

What a good place to be don't believe them
'Cause they speak a different language
And it's never been happy for me
It's happy hour again

Hello city, hello city

Hello Helicopter - Lyrics - Motion City Soundtrack

Title: Hello Helicopter
Artist: Motion City Soundtrack
Composer(s): Tony Thaxton, Justin Pierre, Matthew Taylor, Joshua Cain, Jesse Johnson

Lyric:
Hello helicopter, are you here to stay?
Bodies rest in motion fighting night and day
Well, it's kill or be killed
And one day we'll get the best of them
Hello helicopter, will you be my friend?
Will you take me away?

Hello helicopter, have you heard the news?
No one gives a shit about the things they do
We all waste and consume
Destroy and ruin everything we touch
It's easy not to think when you're not told that much

I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before
I'm just trying to understand the way we are

Hello helicopter, are you here to stay?
Swimming through the garbage dump that fills the air
In several more years no one will care
They'll be rich and dead
So let somebody else devise a cure for it

I'm not saying anything you haven't heard before
I'm just trying to understand the way we are

Nobody seems to care
Nobody ever learns

Hello helicopter, are you here to stay?
Bodies rest in motion fighting night and day
Well, it's kill or be killed
And one day we'll get the best of them
Hello helicopter, are you listening?

Nobody seems to care
Nobody ever learns

Are we ever gonna get it right?
Are we ever gonna start making sense
And stop pretending that we care?

Are we ever gonna get it right?
Are we ever gonna start making sense
And stop pretending that we care?

Are we ever gonna get it right?
Are we ever gonna start making sense
And stop pretending?

Hello helicopter, are you here to stay?
Bodies rest in motion fighting night and day
Well, it's kill or be killed
And one day we'll get the best of them
Hello helicopter, are you listening?

Hello In There - Lyrics - Joan Baez

Title: Hello In There
Artist: Joan Baez
Composer(s): John Prine

Lyric:
We had an apartment in the city
Me and Loretta liked living there
It's been years since the kids have grown
A lives of their own left us alone

John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road
We lost Davy in the Korean war
I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
Old rivers grow wilder every day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

Me and Loretta, we don't talk much more
She sits and stares through the back door screen
All the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream that we've both seen

Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at the factory
What will I tell him if he asks, "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do"

Ya' know that old trees just grow stronger
Rivers grow wilder every day
But old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Hello in there, hello"

So, if you're walking down the street sometime
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Please don't just pass 'em by and stare
Like you didn't care, say, "Hello in there, hello"
Say, "Hello in there, hello"

And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there, hello

Me and Loretta we don't talk much more
She sits and stares through the back door screen
And all the news just repeats itself
Like some forgotten dream, that we'd both seen

Someday I'll go and call up Rudy
We worked together at a factory
But what do I say?
If he asks what's new?
Nothing what's with you?
Nothing much to do

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome
Waiting for someone to say
Hello in there, hello

If you're out walking down the streets of town
And spot some hollow ancient eyes
Well please just don't pass them by and stare
As if you didn't care
Say hello in there, hello

You know that old trees just grow stronger
And old rivers grow wider everyday
And old people just grow lonesome

Artist: Len
Composer(s): James Alexander, Philip Andrew Rae, Marc Constanzo, Larry Dodson, Frank Thompson, Tony Camillo, Allen Jones

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all
Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all

It's the O-B-E, the O the N-E
Yes the man that you think of
And when I step inside the place to be
All the ladies fall in love

And I'm the V-A-N-D-A the L
And I would like to mention
That T-dot city is the place we dwell
We came to party with no tension

Well it's the A-B-D-O-M-I-N
A-A-A, L-L-L
That's the abdominal quite obvious
'Cause I trust you know how to spell

Who's that cryptik souls cat that's known to get live
You transform my name to numbers it'd be one-three-five
Nine-eleven-nineteen, stepping on your scene
A sicks knows basics shine like afro-sheen

Clean out your ears and ya open your eyes
To see K-N-G, C-S-C coming alive in 3-D
I'm the man who you wanna be
But defeating is an impossibility

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all
Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all

Well it's the M-O-K-A, the O-N-L-Y
I really couldn't tell you why I'm flowing so fly
I guess it's for the fact I got the gift of gabb
To bring the party people something they never done had

When D-sisive came to rock the mega-city got scared
Because I came with clinched fists and my nostrils flared
But when I dropped my first rhyme, I automatically declared
That I could take the city out without the hardcore stare

I'm S-Y-M-B-O-L-I-K
And if you didn't come to party then holla may-day
K-paint a picture stroke by stroke in ya frame
C-K Flow, yeah that is my name

Well I go by the title of the name D-rock
'N dis here recital's guaranteed not stopping
I got a whole bunch of brothers from around my block
And it's a sure shock that we stay on top

It's the planet-P here to keep it live
And I'm also known as Kudu-5
When my crew is in the place we take control
Now you're being captivated by the cryptik souls

Get funky with it

Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all
Hello everybody and how do you do?
Gonna rock shock your body, we're the cryptik souls crew
Rock rock to the beat y'all, rock rock to the beat y'all

Get funky with it
This is it right here

Future Holds A Lion'S Heart - Lyrics - This Delicate Thing We've Made - Darren Hayes

Title: Future Holds A Lion'S Heart
Album: This Delicate Thing We've Made
Artist: Darren Hayes
Composer(s): Robert Conley, Darren Hayes

Lyric:
When I first escaped the city of York
And leapt out of this cage
Well, no silicon chip could sublimate
Or tame this temptuous rage

When my heart was in the attic
Like the picture of Dorian Gray
I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak it's name

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

When I left the warm surroundings
Of my selfish difficult stage
When our eyes first met there was deja vu
And a feeling I could not shake

Then when gravity seduced me
And drew me to this place
I could swear we were together
In an entirely different age

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

So wonderfully good looking
With fine and delicate lines
If I place this face in carbon freeze
It will never be affected by time

She said, "Don't confuse your beauty
With the insolence of youth
You can move through time in one direction
Sad, but it's the truth"

But it took so long to meet you
But it took so long to meet you
It took so long to meet you
It's time to go, it's time to leave
(You should never have come)

Get back to the craft
Get back to your age
And take somebody with you

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

Say hello

Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham - Lyrics - Blue Cheer

Title: Hello L.A., Bye Bye Birmingham
Artist: Blue Cheer
Composer(s): Mac Davis, Delaney Bramlett

Lyric:
I packed everything I own and I put it in a knapsack
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes, I am, and I ain't lookin' back
I bought me a guitar and I wrote a song
I played it for the DJ on the telephone

Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Alright

Riding on a Greyhound bus 'cross the Tennessee borderline
Eating from a Po' Boy sandwich, taking drinks from a quart of wine
I got to get off at the very last stop
My ticket's only good to Little Rock

Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham

I got mixed up with a big city woman in Little Rock
I had to spend a week one time in the county jail
I had to take a two-day job to get my guitar out of hock
That's the way it goes when you got no dough to make bail

I ran out of transportation funds, I had to hitchhike
I caught me a ride with a tattooed dude on a motorbike
People gonna know when I'm in town
Heads are gonna turn when they hear my sound

Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Ow, uh

You know that I'm tired of going down
I believe I'm gonna leave this town
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes, I am
Yes, I am, yes, I am

Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham

Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham

Skylines And Turnstiles - Lyrics - I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love - My Chemical Romance

Title: Skylines And Turnstiles
Album: I Brought You My Bullets You Brought Me Your Love
Artist: My Chemical Romance
Composer(s): Frank Lero, Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Bob Bryar, Mikey Way

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
You're not in this alone let me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record, be the first to say I'm sorry hear me out
Well if you take me down or would you lay me out?
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now

We walk in single file
We light our rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell

This broken city sky, like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes
Hello, Angel tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here
This broken city sky, like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes
Hello, Angel tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here
Tell me we go from

And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know, like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and black
It reaches in and tears your flesh apart, as ice cold hands rip into your heart

That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence?
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now

This broken city sky, like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes
Hello, Angel tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here
This broken city sky, like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes
Hello, Angel tell me, where are you? Tell me where we go from here
Tell me we go from here

Hello Amsterdam - Lyrics - American Music Club

Title: Hello Amsterdam
Artist: American Music Club
Composer(s): John Mark Eitzel

Lyric:
Una paloma blanca

Hello Amsterdam my name is Fernando
Hello Amsterdam I bet you've seen my kind before
Another sad tourist with his eyes rolling in his head
Another sad tourist who never had a drink before

Hello Amsterdam you didn't like my Waterloo
Hello Amsterdam I wish I had something to offer you
Tail between my legs I creep back to the canal
All alone with my eyes rolling like the moon

Superstar, superstar, superstar
Superstar, superstar, superstar

Once was a white elephant that escaped from the zoo
Got to the big city and didn't know what to do
He said, "Everything is beautiful but my heart is too clean"
He didn't even like us when we played 'Dancing Queen'

But hello Amsterdam don't I look cool in my white shirt
Hello Amsterdam don't I look hip in my red tie
We came from America so you could share in the pride
Guilt, greed and genocide

Superstar, superstar, superstar
Superstar, superstar, superstar
Superstar, superstar, superstar
Superstar, superstar, superstar

Drink You Pretty - Lyrics - Placebo

Title: Drink You Pretty
Artist: Placebo
Composer(s): Steven Es Hewitt, Brian Molko, Stefan Olsdal

Lyric:
Sick of drugs and dancing feet
Sick of bars where people meet
Smell of crotch and sheets not clean
Hairy men in magazines

Every city looks the same
Running from the threat of rain
Pillow talk that's just for one
Saturday get nothing done

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Human seas of apathy
Nuclear catastrophe
Jumbos crash into the ground
Governments sleep safe and sound

Mornings glisten cold and bright
Organs stolen every night
Can of beans and fast bouquet
Double jackpot give away

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Hello, pretty, hello
Hello, pretty, hello
Hello, pretty, hello
Hello, pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Country Dreams - Lyrics - Harry Chapin

Title: Country Dreams
Artist: Harry Chapin
Composer(s): Harry F. Chapin

Lyric:
This phone's growin' into my ear
I made three hundred calls today
Though yours is the only voice that I wanna hear
I got to make me a livin' someway

I know you hate me doin' this
You say I'm sellin' out
But how in the hell is a man supposed to live?
Sellin's what it's all about

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company
And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land
That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you
Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down
And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city
A Pocono Land site, green and pretty
There's lakes there and trout streams
Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams

We dreamed our dreams in college, girl
Back then we thought we should
And we promised that we would save the world
Way back then we thought we could

I know you love your teachin' now
But I wish you'd understand
There aren't that many jobs around
I'm doin' the best I can

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company
And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land
That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you
Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down
And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city
A Pocono Land site, green and pretty
There's lakes there and trout streams
Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams

I'm here with forty other guys crowded in a room
Makin' a livin', sellin' the moon and rustic dreams in June
I used to hate the city, now I'm dwellin' in it
Used to love the country now I'm sellin' it
I'm doin' well at it, that's the hell of it

I said that we would find a farm
And live out on the land
It's strange how dreams come back at us
In ways that we had never planned

Here I'm sellin' real estate
And laughin' at myself
If I can't have my country dream
I'm gonna sell it out to somebody else

Hello Sir, I'm the Pocono Land Development Company
And I'm callin' you with an offer of some land
That you'll just have to see

A quarter acre plot that's what I've got for you
Nineteen ninety five, four hundred dollars down
And just ten bucks a week

It's two short hours from New York city
A Pocono Land site, green and pretty
There's lakes there and trout streams
Mountain views, country dreams, country dreams

Darlin', don't get mad at me
I'm doin' this for you
It's really not so sad to see
We had growin' up to do country dreams

Oh, please don't push me anymore
It's gonna work out fine
I know I said, I'd quit before
But just give me a little more time, country dreams

A Trick Of The Tail - Lyrics - A Trick Of The Tail - Genesis

Title: A Trick Of The Tail
Album: A Trick Of The Tail
Artist: Genesis
Composer(s): Anthony Banks

Lyric:
Bored of the life in the city of gold
He'd left and let nobody know
Gone were the towers he had known from a child
Along with a dream of a life

He traveled the wide open road
The blinkered arcade
In search of another to share in his life, nowhere
Everyone looked so strange to him

They got no horns and they got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?

He cried and wept as they led him away to a cage
Beast that can talk, read the sign
The creatures, they pushed and they prodded his frame
And questioned his story again

But soon they grew bored of their prey
The beast that can talk
More like a freak or publicity stunt, oh oh, no no

They got no horns and they got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?

He cried and broke down the door
Of the cage and marched on out
He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out

There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination
Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold
Let me take you there, show you a living story
Let me show you others such as me, why did I ever leave?

"They got no horns and they got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?", he cried and wept

And so we set out with the beast and his horns
And his crazy description of home
After many days journey, we came to a peak
Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out

We followed his gaze and we thought that maybe we saw
A spire of gold, no, a trick of the eye, that's all
But the beast was gone and a voice was heard

They got no horns and they got no tail
They don't even know of our existence
Am I wrong to believe in the city of gold
That lies in the deep distance?

Getting Married - Lyrics - Street's Disciple - Nas

Title: Getting Married
Album: Street's Disciple
Artist: Nas
Composer(s): Chucky Thompson, Isaac Hayes, Nasir Jones

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
This ain't no sucka for love shit
This ain't no Huxtable kisses and hug shit, first night we fuck shit
And don't call the next day, this a thug's wedding day
In love? Will we make it? Let us pray

In a Limo, my niggas, my father, my brothers
Everybody in tuxes gettin' blunted
Hard Bottasmov costumes, this ain't no act, though
Factual, the pimp shall scoop no more

Yes, I'm absolutely sure
I know that she love me, I know that she faithful
We spoke on a prenuptial agreement 'cuz Will and Jada ain't need it
Spoke on eloping but then I dreaded the thought

'Cuz she deserves Cinderella's Ball and the whole shit
But know this, you fuckin' wit a slit ya throat quick
Vehicular explosions, cigar smokin'
Dark-minded, chart climbin', well-spoken

Safer world of broke men to rich ones
Throw them phone numbers away 'cuz this is it, hun
Headed to the Chapel, my niggas laughin'
And it's bafflin' 'cuz just a year ago

It's weird, though, I knew I'd get married
To who? I knew not, thought of snatchin' Halle up from the dreadlock
Pumpin' Sade, my head knot
Finally, I met the perfect bitch, pardon my French, rephrase that

Someone who made my heart stop, couldn't wait to blaze that
Tired of hoppin' from honey to honey
HIV spreadin', everybody bump the same bunnies
The game'll put niggas in they graves

Right before they part ways with the street
I want a son to greet every mornin'
Daughters and more sons tickle my feet
Wife smilin', tellin' me it's time to eat, I'm gettin' married

Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want

It was my dream for my queen to put the ring on the ride
Even Martin Luther King had a fling on the side
That's what the negative ones say
Knew my wedding would be one day but quickly is this day

I know the hoes gonna miss me
Lookin' at old photos, sayin, "Damn, he used to twist me"
Start chokin' up since I woke up
Bachelor Party was crazy, tryin' hard just to sober up

Father, saw me in a daze, nudged me with his left arm
Told me how him and moms went to City Hall, dressed norm'
Said, she would love me Oswald Boateng
Customized in London by guys who suit up kings

Gov', you got the ring, Jung', you behave
Maxwell, he gon' sing, invited Lauryn Hill and the gang
Baltimore, North Cacky', Mississippi
Family packed in, my nigga, L is crazy tipsy

Spilled Pepsi on the cuff links, ginger ale got it out
Walked in the church, just all big to thug it out
My girl walked in glistenin', different stones
'Bout to go from my fiance to Mrs. Jones

That's a union that nobody can touch
I gotta be cool wit' ya crazy aunts and uncles
'Cuz I love you much 'cuz you put up wit my shit
Court cases, baby mommas

I make a honest woman outta you yet
Everybody starin' at you, I'm at the alter, standin'
Heart poundin' out my chest like a cannon
I'm happy, one of my groom's men

Under the music says, "Don't do it"
But they just joke, some crew shit
They playin, I'm gleeful, I'm stayin'
I'm stayin' vows that are all true
"Will you take music as your wedded wife?" "I do"
Sike, this ain't about music, y'all know who I'm talkin' to
Gettin' married

Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigolo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Gettin' married

40 Hour Week - Lyrics - Alabama

Title: 40 Hour Week
Artist: Alabama
Composer(s): Lisa Silver, Don Schlitz, Dave Loggins

Lyric:
There are people in this country who work hard every day
Not for fame or fortune do they strive
But the fruits of their labor are worth more than their pay
And it's time a few of them were recognized

Hello Detroit auto workers let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin' just to send it on down the line
Hello Pittsburgh steel mill workers let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who swings the hammer, driving home the nail
Or the one behind the counter, ringing up the sale
Or the one who fights the fires, the one who brings the mail
For everyone who works behind the scenes

You can see them every morning in the factories and the fields
In the city streets and the quiet country towns
Working together like spokes inside a wheel
They keep this country turning around

Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line
Hello West Virginia coal miner, let me thank you for your time
You work a forty hour week for a livin', just to send it on down the line

This is for the one who drives the big rig, up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse, bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic, the policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes
With a spirit you can't replace with no machine

Hello America let me thank you for your time
