No Expectations - Lyrics - Joan Baez

Title: No Expectations
Artist: Joan Baez
Composer(s): Mick Jagger, Keith Richard

Lyric:
Take me to the station
Put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again

Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before

Your heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls to swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind

Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love was like our music
Its here and then it's gone

So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

No Time To Think - Lyrics - Street Legal - Bob Dylan

Title: No Time To Think
Album: Street Legal
Artist: Bob Dylan
Composer(s): Bob Dylan

Lyric:
In death, you face life with a child and a wife
Who sleep-walks through your dreams into walls
You're a soldier of mercy, and you're cold and you curse
"He who cannot be trusted must fall"

Loneliness, tenderness, high society, notoriety
You fight for the throne and you travel alone
Unknown as you slowly sink
And there's no time to think

In the Federal City you been blown and shown pity
In secret, for pieces of change
The empress attracts you but oppression distracts you
And it makes you feel violent and strange

Memory, ecstasy, tyranny, hypocrisy
Betrayed by a kiss on a cool night of bliss
In the valley of the missing link
And you have no time to think

Judges will haunt you, the country priestess will want you
Her worst is better than best
I've seen all these decoys through a set of deep turquoise eyes
And I feel so depressed

China doll, alcohol, duality, mortality
Mercury rules you and destiny fools you
Like the plague, with a dangerous wink
And there's no time to think

Your conscience betrayed you when some tyrant waylaid you
Where the lion lies down with the lamb
I'd have paid off the traitor and killed him much later
But that's just the way that I am

Paradise, sacrifice, mortality, reality
But the magician is quicker and his game
Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
And there's no time to think

Anger and jealousy's all that he sells us
He's content when you're under his thumb
Madmen oppose him, but your kindness throws him
To survive it you play deaf and dumb

Equality, liberty, humility, simplicity
You glance through the mirror and there's eyes staring clear
At the back of your head as you drink
And there's no time to think

Warlords of sorrow and queens of tomorrow
Will offer their heads for a prayer
You can't find no salvation, you have no expectations
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

Mercury, gravity, nobility, humility
You know you can't keep her and the water gets deeper
That is leading you onto the brink
But there's no time to think

You've murdered your vanity, buried your sanity
For pleasure you must now resist
Lovers obey you but they cannot sway you
They're not even sure you exist

Socialism, hypnotism, patriotism, materialism
Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws
And the sound of the keys as they clink
But there's no time to think

The bridge that you travel on goes to the Babylon girl
With the rose in her hair
Starlight in the east and you're finally released
You're stranded but with nothing to share

Loyalty, unity, epitome, rigidity
You turn around for one real last glimpse of Camille
'Neath the moon shinin' bloody and pink
And there's no time to think

Bullets can harm you and death can disarm you
But no, you will not be deceived
Stripped of all virtue as you crawl through the dirt
You can give but you cannot receive

No time to choose when the truth must die
No time to lose or say goodbye
No time to prepare for the victim that's there
No time to suffer or blink and no time to think

Great Expectations - Lyrics - Quality Control - Jurassic 5

Title: Great Expectations
Album: Quality Control
Artist: Jurassic 5
Composer(s): L Coryell, D Givens, L Macfadden, C Henderson, M Potsic, C Stewart, M Stuart

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

Lyric:
Baby
Whatcha gonna do?
Come back again

No doubt, uh, it took ten years, for me to pressure cook my fears
Now my front line rhymes moving up from the rear
My dream slash career appeared ever so clear
Now I'm able to touch, smell, see, speak, and hear

My fans cheer, my time is finally here
The past depart the present 'cause the future is near
Anticipation, magnified my motivation
Direct my energy to touch nations

Been entertaining since niggas was really banging
Dancing at the old folks parties, pancaking
I've been waiting for my time to shine
From Catholic school John Mid Junior High

From Manuasa to rocking at the good life
We paid the price to keep rhyming and rip shit on the mic
Yo, 'cause if you only knew what we been through, uh
The struggle and the pain to maintain and continue

Great expectations on our committee unified relation
We rebel our rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the situation with dedication

Yo, go get your ticket, your seats, snacks, and beverages
While we get wicked all in your brain's cracks and crevices
Servicing bulletins to you critical puritans
Who be shouting in my vicinity doubting my capability

Expect no defeat, my whole fleet be scorching
Keep across your vision blurred from heat distortion
The proportions better take precaution
While we shake the portion fakes are lost in, never flossing

The antidote for your mood, we sloppy dope
And I'm hoping what I wrote gets you open like a fallopian tube
In my crew we include brothers who worthy
Rebels and DJ's from LA, I'm from Shahee

From Jersey, ever thirsty for success
Plus never vexed, flipping for Allah 'cause He blessed us
With the talent, to make Jurassic your next guest
Rocking since the '84 Fresh Fest, yes

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation
We rebel our rhythm through tribulations
And treble and bass the situation with dedication

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation
We rebel our rhythm through tribulations
And treble and bass the situation with dedication

Ayo, my story starts in the NJ State
And gets deep like a movie Bruce and Demi make
I moved to the land of sand and ill earthquakes
I didn't know this was the place I'd get my piece of the cake

Or the piece of the pie, U N I T Y
Every thursday night at the life we kept it tight
That's right, that's where we dwelled and the rhythm rebelled
We a blast from the past like the shotgun shells

Not no mocho males with raps about a beer
Our mission is to persevere so haters can play the rear
We toured the stratesphere from here to London Square
You swear you're prepared to diss what we have here

Indeed time ticks as rapid rhymes rip
Earth and time split in time to find it's
Just another manic Monday and one day
We'll shine, too, so it's true, you hear my crew say

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation
We rebel our rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the situation with dedication

Great expectations, on our committee unified relation
We rebel our rhythm through tribulation
And treble and bass the situation with dedication

Yo, whether you love to hate it, if it's in or outdated
If I've been overrated or maybe your most favorite
You expect me still to write my verse on time
And I expect you not to front when you hear my rhyme

Don't expect me to smile 'cause it's in good taste
I know cats that's no mistake smiling in my face
And don't expect to try and guess if I'm mad or not
Or if I'm cold or hot, you would know if not

And don't expect me to come and just bite my tongue
It's kinda hard to forget what some brothers have done
But my mother always said, you forgive and forget
And expect that most promises won't be kept

I guess I gave credit where it wasn't deserved
To brothers must have preferred to not keep their word
The bigger the burden, the bigger the uncertain
No explaination for my creation, great expectation

I Am Not My Hair - Lyrics - Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship - India Arie

Title: I Am Not My Hair
Album: Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship
Artist: India Arie
Composer(s): Andrew Ramsey, India Arie, Shannon Sanders

Lyric:
See I can kinda recall little ways back
Small tryin' to bawl always been black
And my hair I tried it all, I even went flat
Had a gumdee curly top and all the crap now

Just tryin' to be appreciated
Nappy headed brothers never had no latest
Then I hit the barber shop real quick
Had 'em gimme little twist and it drove them crazy

And then I couldn't get no job
This corporate wouldn't hire no dreadlocks
Then I thought about my dogs on the block
Kinda understand why they chose a stealin' rock

Was it the hair that got me this far?
All these girls, these cribs, these cars
I hate to say it but it seem so flaw
'Cause success didn't come 'til I cut it all off

Little girl with the press and curl
Age eight I got a Jheri curl
Thirteen and I got a relaxer
I was a source of so much laughter

And fifteen when it all broke off
Eighteen and I went all natural
February two thousand and two I
Went on and did what I had to do

Because it was time to change my life
To become the woman that I am inside
Ninety-seven dreadlocks all gone
I looked in the mirror for the first time and saw that, hey

Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am not your expectations, no, no
I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Good hair means curls and waves
Bad hair means you look like a slave
At the turn of the century
It's time for us to redefine who we be

You be shaving it off like a South African beauty
Get in on lock like Bob Marley
You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey
If its not what's on your head, it's what's underneath and say, hey

Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am not your expectation, no
I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Who cares if you don't like that
With nothin' to lose post it with a wave cap
When the cops wanna harass 'cause I got waves
Ain't seen nothin' like that, not in my days

Man, you gotta change all feelings
Steady judging one another by their appearance
Yes, India, I feel ya girl
Now go 'head talk the rest of the world

Does the way I wear my hair
Make me a better person?
Does the way I wear my hair
Make me a better friend?

Does the way I wear my hair
Determine my integrity?
I am expressing my creativity

Breast cancer and chemotherapy
Took away her crown and glory
She promised God if she was to survive
She would enjoy everyday of her life

On national television
Her diamond eyes are sparkling
Bald headed like a full moon shining
Singing out to the whole wide world like, hey

Hey, I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am not your expectations, no
I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am not your expectations, no, no
I am not my hair, I am not this skin
I am a soul that lives within

Start With The Ending - Lyrics - David Wilcox

Title: Start With The Ending
Artist: David Wilcox
Composer(s): David Patrick Wilcox

Lyric:
Secret of a happy marriage
Maybe you should write this down
You wanna keep a love together
The best way is to end it now

When you both know it's over
Suddenly the truth comes out
You can talk about your secret passion
You can talk about your restless doubt

When there's no pretending
Then the truth is safe to say
Start with the ending
Get it out of the way

Now, there's no defending
Because no one has to win
Start with the ending
It's the best way to begin
It's the best way to begin

After you have both decided
You were missing something that you need
The ways that you were too short sighted
Get easier for you to see

After all the expectations
Shatter on the kitchen floor
You just see another human suffering
And wonder what the war was for

When there's no pretending
Then the truth is safe to say
Start with the ending
Get it out of the way

Now, there's no defending
Because no one has to win
Start with the ending
It's the best way to begin
It's the best way, best way to begin

Happy anniversary, darling
We go back a long, long time
I think about our lives together
So grateful you are here in mine

And I know you'll keep on changing
You're moving in this dance with me
I love the way we embrace the future
And keep the past a memory

So, there's no defending
That the old ways could remain
We start with the ending
And things will never be the same

But now, there's no defending
So that no one has to win
Start with the ending
It's the best way to begin
It's the best way to begin

No defending
The truth is safe to say
Start with the ending
Get it out of the way

No defending
No one has to win
We start with the ending
It's the best way to begin
It's the best way to begin

Now, there's no defending
No one has to win
We start with the ending
It's the best way, the best way to begin

Begin, begin
It's the best way to begin

Patient - Lyrics - Andi Deris

Title: Patient
Artist: Andi Deris
Composer(s): Andreas Deris

Lyric:
(Strong education)
I live now and today
(Securitisation)
And I'm willing to pay
(Future prospects and expectations)
Just spare the words you want to say

(Your social order)
Yeah, I got to stand up
(Ethical border)
And I got to get out
(Economical deep, keep your head above water)
Just call me unreasonably proud

Don't wanna be patient
I don't wanna hide
I want to run wild
Don't wanna be patient
Will not be patient

Let me just fly
One time only try
Don't wanna be patient
Will not be patient
No more, no more

(Working condition)
I've a dream in my head
(Name and position)
That's why some call me mad
(Color of skin, religion and mission)
When I feel good, some make it bad

(Political sides)
When visions are gone
(Your family ties)
We waited too long
(Favorite temptation and sexual wise)
We die but once we were strong

Don't wanna be patient
I don't wanna hide
I want to run wild
Don't wanna be patient
Will not be patient

Let me just fly
One time only try
Don't wanna be patient
Will not be patient

No more, no more patient, no more

I don't wanna hide
I want to run wild
Don't wanna be patient
Will not be patient

Let me just fly
One time only try
(Don't wanna be patient)
Don't wanna be patient
(Will not be patient)
Will not be patient, patient, patient

No more, no more
No, no, no more patient

This Is The End - Lyrics - This Is Forever - She Wants Revenge

Title: This Is The End
Album: This Is Forever
Artist: She Wants Revenge
Composer(s): Adam Bravin, Justin Warfield

Lyric:
Running like a dog, never making connections
Keep your story straight if they question you
Try to separate the feeling from the truth

You're pulled in many directions, it's never a gamble
Low risk, low reward, love?s all you need
But did you think that you could walk away so clean?

Yet you're staring at another strange ceiling again
Though you swore you'd stay home and read
Wondering when it?s alright to leave, so you just get dressed

The door shuts behind you, the sun rears its head
You race to your car through the cold morning dew
Slightly annoyed and confused, she didn't seem to mind
You didn't spend the night.

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here

Staring straight ahead and never looking for answers
Dumb yourself down, it's a great disguise
Try to separate omissions from the lies

With low expectations and nobody's letdown
No long talks and no breakdowns in the way
But isn't that what makes it worthwhile anyway?

Now you're pressed against somebody who you don't even like
Though they're cute and they'll pass the time
Kissing around their neck and not their mouth
So they don't look in your eyes

You lie down exhausted and riddled with doubt
Then wait 'til they're sleeping and sneak towards the door
Careful not to make noise across the creaky wood floors
They're not as cold as yours

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we went to bed
No, I never can be the one for you

This is the end
Though I saw it coming before we started
And no one's gonna be broken hearted here

The Garden Of Allah - Lyrics - Don Henley

Title: The Garden Of Allah
Artist: Don Henley
Composer(s): John R. Corey, Don Henley, Stanley Lynch, Paul Gurian

Lyric:
It was pretty big year for fashion
A lousy year for rock and roll
The people gave their blessing to crimes of passion
It was a dark, dark night of the collective soul

Now I was somewhere out on Riverside
By the El Royale Hotel
When a stranger appeared in a cloud of smoke
I thought I knew him all too well

He said, "Now that I have your attention
I got something I wanna say
You may not wanna hear it
I'm gonna tell it to you anyway"

"You know I've always liked you boy
'Cause you were not afraid of me
Things are gonna get mighty rough
Here in Gomorrah-by-the-Sea"

He said, "It's just like home
It's so damn hot I can't stand it
My fine seersucker suit
Is all soaking wet"

And the hills are burning
And the wind is raging
And the clock strikes midnight in the Garden of Allah
In the Garden of Allah

"Nice car, I love those Bavarians, so meticulous
Y'know I remember a time when things were a lot more fun around here
When good was good and evil was evil
Before things got so fuzzy"

"I was once a golden boy like you
And I was summoned to the halls of power in the heavenly courts
And I dined with the deities who looked upon me with favor
For my talents, my creativity"

"And we sat beneath the palms
In the warm afternoons and drank the wine
With Fitzgerald and Huxley
And they pawned a biting phrase from the tongues hot with blood"

"And drained their pins of bitter ink
Vainly reaching for the bottle full of empty Edens
Branded specially for the ones who had come with great expectations
To the perfumed halls of Allah, for their time in the sun"

"And we were stokin' the fires and oilin' up the machinery
Until the Gods found out, we had ideas of our own"
And war was coming and the Earth was shaking
And there was no more ruin in the Garden of Allah

"Today, I made an appearance downtown
I am an expert witness because I say I am
And I said, 'Gentlemen, and I use that word loosely
I will testify for you, I'm a gun for hire, I'm a saint, I'm a liar'"

"'Because there are no facts, there is no truth
Just data to be manipulated
I can get you any result you like
What's it worth to you?'"

"'Because there is no wrong, there is no right
And I sleep very well at night
No shame, no solution, no remorse, no retribution
Just people selling T-shirts'"

Just opportunity to participate in the pathetic little circus
And winning, winning, winning'"

It was pretty big year for predators
The marketplace was on a roll
And the land of opportunity
Spawned a whole new breed of men without souls

This year notoriety
Got all confused with fame
And the devil is downhearted, babe
'Cause there's nothing left for him to claim

He said, "It's just like home
It's so low-down, I can't stand it
I guess my work around here
Has all been done"

And the fruit is rotten, the serpent's eyes shine
As he wraps around the vine
In the Garden of Allah
In the Garden of Allah

In the Garden of Allah

No Compromise - Lyrics - The Haunted

Title: No Compromise
Artist: The Haunted
Composer(s): Patrik Jensen, Anders Martin Bjoerler, Jonas Fredrick Bjoerler, Peter Wilhard Dolving, Per Jensen Moeller

Lyric:
We're untouchable, a breed of our own
In kinship between those who live on the outside
No expectations, no extra weight
Only idiots nurture a dying dream
Make no mistake, a world separates our realities

It'll all end in tears
The remorseful subside and decline
Generations of deadbeat passive receptacles
Brooding in front of their glowing screens

There is nothing to say
Stand down
We have nothing to prove
Our statement is made

We will not, give in, accept, comply
No way out, no compromise

Stand up, face agony, my life
Can be more than a lie
I pledge allegiance to none
My life is mine alone

Great Expectations - Lyrics - Eric Carmen

Title: Great Expectations
Artist: Eric Carmen
Composer(s): Eric Carmen

Lyric:
Seems everyday, I'm gettin' harder pressed
To find a reason to shave
Watchin' the hours just slippin' away

No motivation to get out of bed
And carry on the charade
Caught in a dream that's goin' astray

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan

All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand

And just when I think that things are goin' right
I get a call from L.A.
?Sorry to say, we're changin' your song"

I try to reason, but I can't get through
They're gonna do it their way
What can I say, they've never been wrong

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan

All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand

Life is just a game of chance
I think somebody said so
Sometimes you get a hula hoop, sometimes you get an Edsel

Oh, all those great expectations
Seems they never work out, never work out
The way that I plan

All those great expectations
Why they never work out, never work out
I can't understand

Title: No Promise Have I Made
Artist: Husker Du
Composer(s): Grant Hart

Lyric:
If I could change my mind
What changes would it bring?
If I could change you
Well, it wouldn't change a thing

So now you know
And now you shouldn't be afraid
And no promise have I made

Tell me a story
Tell me just another lie
Well, I can tell you
Set your expectations high

Well, now I've faced up to you
Facing me betrayed
And no promise have I made

No promise have I made
Have I made, have I made
Have I made

Well, there's some green
And there's some white
And there's some gold
But brighter colors
I have left you to behold

It's your good fortune
There's a fortune to be paid
And no promise have I made

Have I made, have I made
Have I made, have I made
Have I made

Have I made to you
Have I ever made a promise
To you

Have I made, have I made
Have I made
Have I ever made to you

Have I made, have I made
Have I made, have I made
Have I made

Lost Again - Lyrics - Dance Hall Crashers

Title: Lost Again
Artist: Dance Hall Crashers
Composer(s): Jason Hammon, Karina Schwarz, Mikey Weiss, Elyse Rogers

Lyric:
Lost again, somebody tell me how to get there
'Cause I can't take another handshake or another blank stare
Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you
Guess your head is thicker than I thought

You know I am starting to think that it might be you
'Cause I know you've got a lot of things and people you look to
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me

I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there

Lost again, somebody tell me how to get there
If I hit another detour I'm afraid that I won't care
Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations
That gold road probably just leads straight to hell

And once I'm there are you gonna care or conveniently look away
I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way
Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me?
I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me

I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there

I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there
I know where I wanna go but I just don't know
No I just don't know how to get there

Do you, do you, do you?
Tell me if you do

500 Channels - Lyrics - Choking Victim

Title: 500 Channels
Artist: Choking Victim
Composer(s): S. Dubrul, Francois S. Cherpitel, Sean P. Mcardle

Lyric:
500 channels of a day-dream stimulation
Helps me to resent my life and raise my expectations
Locked into re-runs, your memories repeating
And all your ideals seem so self defeating

For you and yours, the Pepsi generation
And when you're discontent, you change the TV station
And when you hate your life, no qualities redeeming
A million brainwashed zombies will always be heard screaming

And when there is no hope
I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope
When theres no enemies, I sit and stare at my TV
And in my ignorance, I'll be a slave and sycophant

And in a perfect world devoid of all temptations
The good leftover crizack could unite the nations
But now the war machines are mapping our destructions
With poisons over flowing in the chemical seductions

And when there is no hope
I'll smoke some crack, I'll shoot some dope
When theres no enemies, I sit and stare at my TV
And in my ignorance, I'll be a slave and sycophant

With my credit and my bank, my mind will draw a blank
I'll block out history, and stare at my TV
For me there is no way
500 channels waste my life away, away

Stranger In The House - Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Title: Stranger In The House
Artist: Elvis Costello
Composer(s): Elvis Costello

Lyric:
This never was one of the great romances
But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
But now they look in tired and bitter glances
At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise

I get the feeling that I don't belong here
But there's no welcome in the window anyway
And I look down for a number on my keychain
'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face
But everybody says he's taken my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
But everybody says he looks like me

And now you say you've got no expectations
But I know you also miss those carefree days
And for all the angry words that passed between us
You still don't understand me when I say

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen his face
But everybody says he's taken my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
But everybody says he looks like me

Lyric:
All the ghettos around the world
Dig this, ghetto Fabulous Joe
Shaggy
All the children sing

I?m a ghetto child
I?m a ghetto child
(Check it, out)

There?s a world out there that I wanna see
There?s a man that I?m destined to be
I won?t be stopped by the ghetto streets
I believe inside that I can?t be beat

This life could be a ball and chain
If you let yourself get caught in the game
I had some friends who sold drugs for dough
But I don?t intend to go down that road

Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration

Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child
All the ghettos around the world, dig this

One day I?m gonna change the world
Make a better place for every boy and girl
Everyone in need, homeless families
Have a place to sleep and food to eat

I?ll take every gun off the streets
So another tear won?t be shed in grief
And every thug in every hood
I will make ?em change from bad to good

I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I?m that one
All the children sing
(Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing
(Yeah, yeah)

Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration

Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child
(Ooh, yeah, ooh)

Hey, yo?, look at me in a different light
Spare me all about those stereotypes
Ain?t no madness that?ll bring me down
Gonna take this life and turn it around

That's right, the sky?s the limit, I won?t be denied
Ain?t no stoppin? me, I?m a ghetto child
And at the end when it?s said and done
We will all be singin? this ghetto song

I believe that it can be done
Gotta start somewhere and I?m that one
All the children sing
(Yeah, yeah)
All the children sing
(Yeah, yeah)

Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration

Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child
(Let?s go to church now)

Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
(Take me to church now)
Just believe that a ghetto child
Can rise in the highest celebration

Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child
(Hey, ghetto child, oh)

Just because I?m a ghetto child
I won?t live down to your expectations
(Sing a song for me)
Just believe that a ghetto child
(Sing a song for me)
Can rise in the highest celebration
(Everybody sing it now, yeah)

Know that I am a ghetto child
But I can see the best in me, can you
I?m a ghetto child
(So I can see the best in me, can you)

It?s not where you?re from, it?s where you?re gonna be
It?s not where you?re from, it?s where you?re gonna be

In The Way - Lyrics - Evolve - Ani Difranco

Title: In The Way
Album: Evolve
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
No, you didn't just leave
I actually kicked you out
I couldn't hardly believe
That the words came out my mouth

You couldn't hardly believe
What you heard yourself, discuss
And you packed up all your things
And you said goodbye to us

Tell me what is in the way
In the way of my love for you?
Tell me what is in the way
In the way of my love for you?

Hafta get it outta of the way of my love
Hafta get it outta of the way of my love

And now, there's nothing left to lose
And the screen just says 'Fini'
And each night in separate rooms
We cry separately

And every day, we yell
Down each other's holes
Two slippery strippers
Swinging 'round two poles

Tell me what is in the way
In the way of my love for you?
Tell me what is in the way
In the way of my love for you?

Yeah, there's something in the way of my love for you
Yeah, there's something in the way of my love

So we took down all the pictures
And then we took down all the walls
Packed up our expectations
Piled them in the hall

Yeah, we bagged our future
Kicked it to the curb
And then we stood there unencumbered
And we stood there undeterred

'Cause we were done clinging
To the things we were afraid to lose
And the only thing left
Was a breathtaking view

You looked at me
And I looked at you
And we said, "How about now
What you wanna do?"

Now there's something in the way
In the way of my love for you
Now there's something in the way
In the way of my love for you

I have to get it out the way
Out the way of my love for you
I have to get it out the way
Out the way of my love for you

No, you didn't just leave
No, you didn't just leave
No, you didn't just leave
No, you didn't just leave

Contradictions - Lyrics - Natalie Imbruglia

Title: Contradictions
Artist: Natalie Imbruglia
Composer(s): Rick Palombi, Nick Trevisick, Natalie Imbruglia

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

Lyric:
Seventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
Praying for a change

Everything you could have sacrificed
Your flesh and blood had it's own sweet price
Baby's all grown up and moved away
Where's that leave you now?

It was your own decision
You made my life your mission

Somebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction

Somebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction

Why is it so hard to be understood?
Doing so much for the common good
Sorry if I didn't see the truth
The sadness in your eyes

I wanted to stand on my own two feet
Looking at life as a one way street
Thinking that I had it all worked out
Where's that leave me now?

We lost communication
Too many expectations

Somebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction

Somebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction

Everything I have inside
I kept it wrapped up tight
All I know is
All I want to know is
Somebody tell me

Somebody tell me
It doesn't make no sense at all
Somebody tell me
Why we're living in a world of contradiction
In a world of contradiction

Seventeen years in a dead end job
Telling his dreams to a deaf eared god
Hanging on tight by a single thread
Where's that leave you now?

My Apology - Lyrics - Flo'Ology - Floetry

Title: My Apology
Album: Flo'Ology
Artist: Floetry
Composer(s): Natalie Stewart, Scott Spencer Storch, Marsha Angeliq Ambrosius

Lyric:
Karma usually comes wearing the stranger's light
It's easier to deal with that way
But now it's you, I've hurt you, disrespected you
There's nowhere to hide, no turning back, no rearrangement
Only what lies ahead and you're so Heaven sent

I know you're feeling hurt because of what I did to you
If it's blame I'll take it maybe we will make it through
'Cause I love you, I love you, think about it baby

I'm sorry for giving you the cold shoulder
Never been this wrong before
Never stood my ground and breathed it in before
All I wanted to do is hold ya
Never felt so brave and so afraid before
Never faced alone and felt the peace before

With tears in my eyes I come to you sincerely
Excepting this space I'm in
Growing outta the phase where I just wanna win
You act as though you don't even hear me
Look at me baby look at me I know you

I know you're feeling hurt because of what I did to you
If it's blame I'll take it maybe we will make it through
'Cause I love you, I love you, think about it baby

Growth I released my grief it was a heavy load
Survived the sleep and now I'm letting go
Waking up and living up to what I had proposed
Woman now I love the girl I used to be
Ever step she took was reaching out to me
Every breath is blessed responsibility, we made it baby

I can't control your feelings, feel me
I can't take back, what I've done
With my hand on my heart
I'm coming to you sincerely if you hear me I know you

I know you're feeling hurt because of what I did to you
If it's blame I'll take it maybe we will make it through
I love you, I love you, think about it baby

I know you're feeling hurt because of what I did to you
If it's blame I'll take it maybe we will make it through
'Cause I love you, I love you, think about it baby

Baby think about it we know better
But love has no expectations
So I don't expect you to do anything
Think about it

This is for me I'm offering this to you
To free myself
'Cause I know what I have to do
This is my apology think about it baby

Tragedy - Lyrics - Hanoi Rocks

Title: Tragedy
Artist: Hanoi Rocks
Composer(s): Andy Mccoy

Lyric:
The music's slowly dying and I'm jumping outta my jeans
I jump into the bed, you're there already waiting for me
Ain't this a perfect way, to spend the night
There ain't no better way, of killing time, than loving you

Be sure of that I do
It's reached top speed, and I'm getting inside of you
This is hot stuff mama, taste it, It sure tastes good
Oh yes, it does, it's maybe cold outside, but in you the fire is burning

And when you bite me babe, love is hurting
Tragedy life reminds me bout, a symphony on the radio
First a little bit too fast, and then a little bit much too slow
Tragedy life reminds me bout, a symphony I heard today

First a little bit too fast and then a little bit much too slow for me
I wake up in the morning and I feel, the pain in my head
If it's rest I need I'd rather be dead, no destination in this life I live
No expectations I just drift and drift and drift

Come Back Jimmy Dean - Lyrics - No Frills - Bette Midler

Title: Come Back Jimmy Dean
Album: No Frills
Artist: Bette Midler
Composer(s): J Blatt, B Walsh, B Midler

Lyric:
I read the paper and I hear the news
I search the heavens vainly for clues
Where has he gone to and where can he be?
I need someone, we need someone
Come back, Jimmy Dean

Yesterday morning, I read in the Times
Things cost a dollar that once cost a dime
And everyone's lonely 'cause everyone's free
I need someone, we need someone
Come back, Jimmy Dean

All our loves are loved and lost
Our hearts all hung with rust
All the golden birds and lads all, must
Like chimney sweeps, come to dust

I'll pour a drink, adjust my TV
And stare at the shadows stare out at me
I have no expectations, oh but occasionally
I need someone, you were someone
Come back, Jimmy Dean
I need someone, you were someone
Please come back, Jimmy Dean
