Songs that literally ROCK your world

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

Yes...

I cant believe the news today

Oh, I cant close my eyes and make it go away

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Broken bottles under childrens feet

Bodies strewn across the dead end street

But I wont heed the battle call

It puts my back up

Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)

(allright lets go!)

And the battles just begun

Theres many lost, but tell me who has won

The trench is dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday

Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...

How long must we sing this song?

How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one

Tonight...

Tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

Tonight

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)

(come get some!)

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away

Wipe your tears away

I wipe your tears away

(sunday, bloody sunday)

I wipe your blood shot eyes

(sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)

(here I come!)

And its true we are immune

When fact is fiction and tv reality

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)

To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)

On...

Sunday bloody sunday

Sunday bloody sunday...

[Rev.Reverence]

This is a song about an innocent

Who died at the hands of a desperate man

He trusted those who he thought he knew

He trusted those who he looked up to

I'll never forget the joy in his face

He'd laugh and he'd cry and he'd ruin my place

He'd drive me crazy, and he'd drive me wild

I used to scream and shout all day long

Now I hope you know this song

Is about a child who now has gone

And other children like him, too

Abused and used by what adults do

So don't tell me about politics

Or all the problems of our economics

When you can't look after what you can't own

You scream and shout all day long

nights in white satin

[StormKnight (1)]

nights in white satin

A woman after my own heart on theat one.

Delving into my violinist days:

a legendary performance. Still the best after 31 years (recorded 1978.)

and been a big fan of Vivaldi for as long as I have been playing.

Vivladi concerto for four violins in b minor, op 10, played the 4th violin solo part (right side soloist,) not easy timing to 4 soloists and an orchestra. Oh, and Isaac Stern (glasses far left,) yes, I held and played *that* Stradivarius in 1990 after watching his master class.

Trust me, putting me behind the wheel of a sports car with certain classical music is considered a really bad idea for safe driving.

[Oh_My_Goth]

This song reminds Me of Me w/ Meself.. Weird

What Else Is There?

~Royksopp

It was me on that road

But you couldn't see me

Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road

Still you couldn't see me

And then flashlights and explosions

Roads end getting nearer

We cover distance but not together

I am the storm I am the wonder

And the flashlights nightmares

And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for

I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun

A morning run

The story of my maker

What I have and what I ache for

I've got a golden ear

I cut and I spear

And what else is there

Roads end getting nearer

We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder

Will I have a flashlights nightmares

And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for

I was given just one wish

Roads end getting nearer

We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder

Will I have a flashlights nightmares

And sudden explosions

There's no room where I can go and

You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for

I was given just one wish

Fear - I Love Livin' In The City

My house smells just like the zoo

It chock full of shit and puke

Cockroaches on the walls

Crabs crawlin' on my balls

Ohh, well I'm so clean cut

I just wanna fuck some sluts

I love livin' in the city

I love livin' in the city

Spent my whole life in the city

Where junk is king and the air smells shitty

People pukin' everywhere

Piles of blood, scabs and hair

Bodies wasted in the street

People dyin' on the street

But the suburban scumbags, they don't care

Just get fat and dye their hair

I love livin' in the city

I love livin' in the city...

[Rev.Reverence]

This song put into words an emotive drive I felt W-A-Y back in the EARLY '90s...(so susinctly was what was said, said...I have to REALLY let the lack of Grammar slide)

BABY GOT BACK!

Sir MIX-a-LOT

Oh my god, Becky, look at her butt

It is so big

She looks like one of those rap guys girlfriends

Who understands those rap guys

They only talk to her because she looks like a total prostitute, ok?

I mean her butt

It's just so big

I can't believe it's so round

It's just out there

I mean, it's gross

Look, she's just so black

I like big butts and I can not lie

You other brothers can't deny

That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waste

And a round thing in your face

You get sprung

Wanna pull up front

Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed

Deep in the jeans she's wearing

I'm hooked and I can't stop staring

Oh, baby I wanna get with ya

And take your picture

My homeboys tried to warn me

But with that butt you got

Me so horny

Ooh, rub all of that smooth skin

You say you wanna get in my Benz

Well use me, use me cuz you ain't that average groupy

I've seen them dancin'

The hell with romancin'

She sweat, wet, got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette

I'm tired of magazines

saying flat butt's the only thing

Take the average black man and ask him that

She gotta pack much back, so

Fellas (yeah), fellas (yeah)

Has your girlfriend got the butt (hell yeah)

Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt

Baby got back

(LA face with Oakland booty)

I like'em round and big

And when I'm throwin' a gig

I just can't help myself

I'm actin like an animal

Now here's my scandal

I wanna get you home

And ugh, double ugh, ugh

I ain't talkin' bout Playboy

Cuz silicone parts were made for toys

I wannem real thick and juicy

So find that juicy double

Mixalot's in trouble

Beggin' for a piece of that bubble

So I'm lookin' at rock videos

Knock-kneed bimbos walkin' like hoes

You can have them bimbos

I'll keep my women like Flo Jo

A word to the thick soul sistas

I wanna get with ya

I won't cus or hit ya

But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna fuck

Til the break of dawn

Baby, I got it goin on

A lot of pimps won't like this song

Cuz them punks like to hit it and quit it

But I'd rather stay and play

Cuz I'm long and I'm strong

And I'm down to get the friction on

So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)

If you wanna role in my Mercedes (yeah)

Then turn around

Stick it out

Even white boys got to shout

Baby got back

(LA face with the Oakland booty)

Yeah baby

When it comes to females

Cosmo and got nothin to do with my selection

36-24-36

Only if she's 5'3"

So your girlfriend rolls a Honda

Playin' workout tapes by Fonda

But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda

My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hon

You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt

Some brothers wanna play that hard role

and tell you that the butt need to go

So they toss it and leave it

And I pull up quick to retrieve it

So Cosmo says you're fat

Well I ain't down with that

Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin'

And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'

To the beanpole dames in the magazines

You ain't it Miss Thang

Give me a sista I can't resist her

Red beans and rice didn't miss her

Some knucklehead tried to dis

Cuz his girls were on my list

He had game but he chose to hit 'em

And pulled up quick to get with 'em

So ladies if the butt is round

And you wanna triple X throw down

Dial 1-900-mixalot and kick them nasty thoughts

Baby got back

Matthew Wilder

Last night I had the strangest dream

I sailed away to China

In a little row boat to find ya

And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned

Didn't want no-one to hold you

What does that mean

And you said

Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no

I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

You're on a roll and now you pray it lasts

The road behind was rocky

But now you're feeling cocky

You look at me and you see your past

Is that the reason why you're runnin' so fast

And she said

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh-no

I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on moving

Never let another girl like you, work me over

Never let another girl like you, drag me under

If I meet another girl like you, I will tell her

Never want another girl like you, have to say

Ooooooh

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down

Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch the ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down

Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch the ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down

Oh-no, I got to keep on moving

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

I'm running and I won't touch the ground

Oh-no, I got to keep on movin'

Ain't nothin' gonna break my stride

Nobody's gonna slow me down

Oh-no, oh-no, I got to keep on moving

I like the Johnny Cash version because he seems to put a little more feeling into it. This song has helped me more than once when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles - which seems to be the story of my life this year...

Well I won't back down, no I won't back down.

You could stand me up at the gates of hell,

But I won't back down.

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around,

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down.

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down.

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.

Hey, I will stand my ground,

And I won't back down.

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps on pushin' me around,

But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down.

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out.

Hey, I will stand my ground,

And I won't back down.

No, I won't back down.

[Oh_My_Goth]

Sweet relief calms me down

Makes me drown

Lost and found

Neighbors complain

Sheets are stained

Hotel shower

The best around

Spacing from Paris to new york

Silver sunglasses

Silver phone

Connect us to someone

Who doesnt know

About these feelings we cant control

People they want us to fall down

But we wont ever

Touch the ground

cause were perfectly balanced

Well float around

til noone is near

Do you hear this sound

Spacing from paris to new york

Silver sunglasses

Silver phone

Connect us to someone

Who doesnt know

About these feelings we cant control

This strange feeling captures us

It generates this huge fuzz

I miss you all the time I must face

I miss your touch and your embrace

[Oh_My_Goth]

I brought you something close to me,

Left for something you see though your here.

You haunt my dreams

There's nothing to do but believe,

Just Believe.

Just Breathe.

Another day, just believe,

Another day, just breathe

Another day, just believe,

Another day. Just breathe.

I'm used to it by now.

Another day, just believe.

Just breathe. Just believe.

Just breathe.

Lying in my bed,

Another day, staring at the ceiling.

Just breathe. Another day.

Another day, just believe.

Another day.

I'm used to it by now.

I'm used to it by now.

Just breathe. Just believe.

Just breathe. Just believe.

Just believe. Just breathe.

Just believe.

Another day, just believe.

Another day.

Another day, just believe,

Another day, just breathe,

Another day (I do believe).

Another day(so hard to breathe)

Another day(not so hard to believe)

Another day. Another day.

Arrested Development

Lord I've really been real stressed

Down and out, losin ground

Although I am black and proud

Problems got me pessimistic

Brothers and sisters keep messin up

Why does it have to be so dman tuff?

I don't know where I can go

To let these ghosts out of my skull

My grandmas past, my brothers gone

I never at once felt so alone

I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

Not just my spare tire (home)

But lord I ask you (home)

To be my guiding force and truth (home)

For some strange reason it had to be (home)

He guided me to Tennessee (home)

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

Talkin to each other every night and day

Although you're superior over me

We talk to each other in a friendship way

Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

Outta the country and into more country

Past Dyesburg into Ripley

Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

Walk the roads my forefathers walked

Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

Ask those trees for all their wisdom

They tell me my ears are so young (home)

Go back to from whence you came (home)

My family tree my family name (home)

For some strange reason it had to be (home)

He guided me to Tennessee (home)

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

Now I see the importance of history

Why people be in the mess that they be

Many journeys to freedom made in vain

By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games

I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Without the enlightment of all my folks

He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

And he was there to quench my thirst

But I am still thirsty...

The lord allowed me to drink some more

He said what I am searchin for are

The answers to all which are in front of me

The ultimate truth started to get blurry

For some strange reason it had to be

It was all a dream about Tennessee

Take me to another place

Take me to another land

Make me forget all that hurts me

Let me understand your plan

I Wonder...

~~SIZZLA

Oh my Lord be my shield,I ask of thee

I know they still have some evil purpose in mind

Wanna hurt me

Oh, yes. Jah.

I'm not sure if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off like an arrow

I WONDER if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off

I'm not afraid to die, but to live until death

It's not hard for you to guess

What will happen next

Heartaches and pain, works of ungodliness

Some nuh know why dem a live

That's when them have to hurt the flesh

But who are they

Tell me what we represent

I struggle with fear as I experience

How them do them dirty works which I resent

And no one but them a go face the consequence

They build walls instead of bridges of ridicule

Then war with whome they live, like a fool

But if I travel long road

Ah, where you water full

'Cause the vessel of the inequity

Never get full

I'm not sure if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off like an arrow

I WONDER if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off ..Oh yes.

That burning concern is no longer there

There filled with the medicine

When babylon prepare

Instruments of cruelty present everywhere

Strong enough to take the life

But not enough to care

As the road gets dark, I expect anything

I know not my enemies

So it leave me wondering

Many life was lost, who is the next victim

It could be you, it could be I

Through how them set the system

Them kill without a cause, what is the meaning

No one knows what tomorrow may bring

I'm not sure if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off like an arrow

I WONDER if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off

They are filled with corruption and selfishness

Overload with bitterness and wrath

So I have to seek to keep myself away

From the wicked on the roads they walk

Oh yes, them sow seed of conflict

Them wan fi see mi trick

But na go fester my heart

Because I dwell inna Jah sight

Man do what is right

Don't want it to be said that I never pay my part

Many ride with enemies

And I am my brother's keeper

What have I done

They no want fe see me prosper

Push on this load as them make it heavier

Jaf, is only sorrow the wicked have to offer

I wonder...

I'm not sure if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off like an arrow

I WONDER if I will live to see tomorrow

Living in this world of conflicts and sorrows

Bodies lie cold

As gunmen strike bold

And the wicked people work

Is taking off

I'm not afraid to die, but to live until death

It's not hard for you to guess

What will happen next

Heartaches and pain, works of ungodliness

"Billion Dollar Babies" -Alice Cooper

Billion dollar baby

Rubber little lady, slicker than a weasel

Grimy as an alley

Loves me like no other lover

Billion dollar baby

Rubber little monster, baby, I adore you

Man or woman living couldnt love me like you, baby

We go dancing nighty in the attic

While the moon is rising in the sky

If Im too rough, tell me

Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands

I got you in the dimestore

No other little girl could everhold you

Any tighter, any tighter than me, bay

Billion dollar baby

Reckless like a gambler , million dollar maybe

Foaming like a dog thats been infected by the rabies

We go dancing nighty in the attic

While the moon is rising the sky

If Im too rough , tell me

Im so scared your little head will come off in my hands

Million dollar baby

Billion dollar bay

Trillion dollar baby

Zillion dollar baby

Haunted...

(When the Minutes Drag)

~Love & Rockets

The word that would best describe this feeling

Would be haunted

I touch the clothes you left behind

That still retain your shape and lines

Still haunted

I trace the outline of your eyes

We're in the mirror hypnotized

I'm haunted

I find a solitary hair

Gone and still I reminisce

I'm haunted

Haunted by your soul

Haunted by your hair

Haunted by your clothes

Haunted by your eyes

By your soul, by your hair

By your clothes, by your eyes

By your voice, by your smile

By your mouth, by your soul

By your hair, by your clothes

By your eyes, by your voice

By your smile, by your mouth

By your soul

HAUNTED (haunted)

So this is for when you feel happy

And this is for when you feel sad

And this is for when you feel...

Nothing

OOOOH when the minutes drag

OOOOH when the minutes drag

And this is for the tears that won't dry

And this is for a bright blue sky

And this is for when you feel...

Lucky

And this is for when you feel...

Lucky

OOOOH when the minutes drag

OOOOH when the minutes drag

oooooOOOOH

oooooOOOOH

So this is for when you're feeling happy again

And this is for when you're feeling sad

And this is for when you feel...

Something

OOOOH when the minutes drag

OOOOH when the minutes drag

HAUNTED (haunted)

When the minutes drag

HAUNTED (haunted)

When the minutes drag

OOOOH

OOOOH
