    Wicked Game
    Chris Isaak

    The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
    It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
    I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
    And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
    No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    With you
    With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
    What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
    What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
    What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you
    And I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    With you
    The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
    It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
    I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
    And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
    No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
    (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
    Nobody loves no one

    Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
    I'm bound to roll all over you
    Yes, I'm a steamroller, baby
    I'm bound to roll all over you
    I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
    And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
    Well, I'm a cement mixer
    A churning urn of burning funk
    Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
    A churning urn of burning funk
    Well, I'm a demolition derby
    A hefty hunk of steaming junk
    Now, I'm a Napalm bomb, baby
    Just guaranteed to blow your mind
    Yeah, I'm a Napalm bomb for you, baby
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    And if I can't have your love for my own
    Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind.
    It seems now lately, baby
    Got a bad case steamroller blues.

    Daddy drove the wheels off a flatbed Ford
    Flies found a hole in the old screen door
    Granny said the dress that my sister wore
    To church wasn't long enough
    Mama poured grease in a Crisco can
    Put a hundred thousand miles on a Sears box fan
    Uncle Joe put tobacco on my hand where
    Them yellow jackets torn me up
    And I ain't making this up
    Oh, you think I'm talking crazy
    In a different language you might not understand
    Oh, that's alright
    That's just the kind of life that made me who I am
    Just taking my mind on a visit
    Back in time 'cause I miss it
    You wouldn't know to love it like I love it
    Unless you lived it
    And man, I lived it
    Granddaddy smoked Salems with the windows up
    Drove me around in the back of that truck
    We drank from the hose and spit in the cup
    We all survived somehow
    Them ol' Duke boys were flattening the hills
    Hollywood was fake, wrestling was real
    Wouldn't dream of spending that two dollar bill
    From pushing a lawnmower around
    I'd go back there right now
    Oh, you think I'm talking crazy
    In a different language you might not understand
    Oh, that's alright
    That's just the kind of life that made me who I am
    Just taking my mind on a visit
    Back in time 'cause I miss it
    You wouldn't know to love it like I love it
    Unless you lived it
    And man, I lived it
    Oh man, I lived it
    Oh, you think I'm talking crazy
    In a different language you might not understand
    Oh, that's alright
    That's just the kind of life that made me who I am
    Just taking my mind on a visit
    Back in time 'cause I miss it
    You wouldn't know to love it like I love it
    Unless you lived it
    And man, I lived it
    Oh man, I lived it

    Blame the whiskey on the beer
    Blame the beer on the whiskey
    Blame the mornin' on the night
    For whose lyin' here with me
    Blame the bar for the band
    Blame the band for the song
    Blame the song for the party that went all night long
    But it ain't my fault
    No it ain't my fault
    Mighta had a little fun
    Lotta wrong I'd done
    But it ain’t my fault
    Blame the heart for the hurtin'
    Blame the hurtin' on the heart
    Blame the dark on the devil
    Blame the devil on the dark
    Blame the ex for the drinkin'
    Blame the drinkin' for the ex
    Blame the two for one tequila's for whatever happens next
    But it ain't my fault
    No it ain't my fault
    Mighta had a little fun
    Lotta wrong I'd done
    But it ain't my fault
    I got my hands up
    I need an alibi
    Find me a witness who can testify
    You made a mistake
    You got the wrong guy
    I'm only guilty of a damn good time
    No it ain't my fault
    Blame my reason on my name
    Blame my name on my reason
    Blame my lack of knowing better on public education
    Blame smoke on the fire
    Blame fire on the smoke
    Blame the fight on the bouncer that couldn't take a joke
    But it ain't my fault
    I got my hands up
    I need an alibi
    Find me a witness who can testify
    You made a mistake
    You got the wrong guy
    I'm only guilty of a damn good time
    No it ain't my fault
    No it ain't my fault
    No it ain't my fault

    Sail - AWOLNATION

    This is how I show my love
    I made it in my mind because
    I blame it on my ADD baby
    This is how an angel cries
    Blame it on my own sick pride
    Blame it on my ADD baby
    Blame it on my AD
    Sail!
    Maybe I should cry for help
    Maybe I should kill myself (myself)
    Blame it on my ADD baby
    Maybe I'm a different breed
    Maybe I'm not listening
    So blame it on my ADD baby

    Hey white liar
    The truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar
    You better be careful what you do
    I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
    If they ever found you out
    You better be careful what you say
    It never really added up anyway
    I got friends in this town
    Hey white liar
    The truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar
    You said you went out to a bar
    And walked some lady to her car
    But your face has more to tell
    'Cause my cousin saw you on the street
    With a red head named Bernice
    Turns out you don't lie too well
    Hey white liar
    The truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of your tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why, white liar
    Here's a bombshell just for you
    Turns out I've been lying too
    Now I'm a white liar
    The truth comes out a little at a time
    And it spreads just like a fire
    Slips off of my tongue like turpentine
    And I don't know why
    White liar

    Everybody's talking and no one says a word
    Everybody's making love and no one really cares
    There's Nazis in the bathroom just below the stairs
    Always something happening and nothing going on
    There's always something happening cooking and nothing in the pot
    They're starving back in China so finish what you got
    They're starving back in China so finish what you got
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed
    strange days indeed
    Everybody's runnin' and no one makes a move
    Everyone's a winner
    and no one seems to lose
    There's a little yellow idol to the north of Katmandu
    Everybody's flying and no one leaves the ground
    Everybody's crying and no one makes a sound
    There's a place for us in movies you just gotta stay around
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed
    most peculiar
    Mama
    Everybody's smoking and no one's getting high
    Everybody's flying and never touch the sky
    There's Ufo's over New York and I ain't too surprised
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Nobody told me there'd be days like these
    Strange days indeed
    most peculiar, Mama

    People say I'm crazy
    Doing what I'm doing
    Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
    To save me from ruin
    When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
    "Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
    People say I'm lazy
    Dreaming my life away
    Well they give me all kinds of advice
    Designed to enlighten me
    When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
    "Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
    I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
    I really love to watch them roll
    No longer riding on the merry-go-round
    I just had to let it go
    Ah, people ask me questions
    Lost in confusion
    Well, I tell them there's no problem
    Only solutions
    Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
    I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
    I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
    I really love to watch them roll
    No longer riding on the merry-go-round
    I just had to let it go
    I just had to let it go
    I just had to let it go

    Leonard Cohen - A Thousand Kisses Deep

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46cSksKVzzs[/url]

    The ponies run, the girls are young
    The odds are there to beat
    You win a while and then it's done
    Your little winning streak
    And summoned now to deal
    With your invincible defeat
    You live your life as if it's real
    A thousand kisses deep
    I'm turning tricks, I'm getting fixed
    I'm back on boogie street
    You lose your grip and then you slip
    Into the masterpiece
    And maybe I had miles to drive
    And promises to keep
    You ditch it all to stay alive
    A thousand kisses deep
    And sometimes when the night is slow
    The wretched and the meek
    We gather up our hearts and go
    A thousand kisses deep
    Confined to sex we pressed against
    The limits of the sea
    I saw there were no oceans left
    For scavengers like me
    I made it to the forward deck
    I blessed our remnant fleet
    And then consented to be wrecked
    A thousand kisses deep
    I'm turning tricks I'm getting fixed
    I'm back on boogie street
    I guess they won't exchange the gifts
    That you were meant to keep
    And quiet is the thought of you
    The file on you complete
    Except what we forgot to do
    A thousand kisses deep
    And sometimes when the night is slow
    The wretched and the meek
    We gather up our hearts and go
    A thousand kisses deep
    The ponies run, the girls are young
    The odds are there to beat
    You win a while and then it's done
    Your little winning streak
    And summoned now to deal
    With your invincible defeat
    You live your life as if it's real
    A thousand kisses deep

    Ripple - Grateful Dead

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=671AgW9xSiA[/url]

    Ripple
    Grateful Dead
    If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
    And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
    Would you hear my voice come through the music
    Would you hold it near as it were your own?
    It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
    Perhaps they're better left unsung
    I don't know, don't really care
    Let there be songs to fill the air
    Ripple in still water
    When there is no pebble tossed
    Nor wind to blow
    Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
    If your cup is full may it be again
    Let it be known there is a fountain
    That was not made by the hands of men
    There is a road, no simple highway
    Between the dawn and the dark of night
    And if you go no one may follow
    That path is for your steps alone
    Ripple in still water
    When there is no pebble tossed
    Nor wind to blow
    You who choose to lead must follow
    But if you fall you fall alone
    If you should stand then who's to guide you?
    If I knew the way I would take you home

    "Riders On The Storm"

    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Into this house we're born
    Into this world we're thrown
    Like a dog without a bone
    An actor out on loan
    Riders on the storm

    There's a killer on the road
    His brain is squirmin' like a toad
    Take a long holiday
    Let your children play
    If you give this man a ride
    Sweet family will die
    Killer on the road, yeah

    Girl, you gotta love your man
    Girl, you gotta love your man
    Take him by the hand
    Make him understand
    The world on you depends
    Our life will never end
    Gotta love your man, yeah

    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Into this house we're born
    Into this world we're thrown
    Like a dog without a bone
    An actor out on loan.
    Riders on the storm

    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm
    Riders on the storm

    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to be free
    Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
    Into the light of the dark black night
    Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
    Into the light of the dark black night
    Blackbird singing in the dead of night
    Take these broken wings and learn to fly
    All your life
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise
    You were only waiting for this moment to arise

    Baby, baby, baby
    I'm coming home
    To your tender loving
    You're my one and only woman
    The world leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, girl
    You're the only one that I want
    I wanna be around
    I wanna be around you girl
    I wanna be around, girl

    Teach Your Children

    You who are on the road
    Must have a code that you can live by
    And so become yourself
    Because the past is just a good-bye.
    Teach your children well,
    Their father's hell did slowly go by,
    And feed them on your dreams
    The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
    Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
    So just look at them and sigh
    And know they love you.
    And you, of tender years,
    Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
    And so please help them with your youth,
    They seek the truth before they can die.
    Teach your parents well,
    Their children's hell will slowly go by,
    And feed them on your dreams
    The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
    Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
    So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

    We met as soulmates
    On Parris Inland
    We left as inmates
    From an asylum
    And we were sharp
    As sharp as knives
    And we were so gung
    ho to lay down our lives
    We came in spastic
    Like tameless horses
    We left in plastic
    As numbered corpses
    And we learned fast
    To travel light
    Our arms were heavy
    but our bellies were tight
    We had no homefront
    We had no soft soap
    They sent us playboy
    They gave us bob hope
    We dug in deep
    And shot on sight
    And prayed to Jesus Christ
    with all of our might
    We had no cameras
    To shoot the landscape
    We passed the hash pipe
    And played our Doors tapes
    And it was dark
    So dark at night
    And we held onto each other
    Like brother to brother
    We promised our mothers we'd write
    And we would all go down together
    We said we'd all go down together
    Yes we would all go down together
    Remember Charlie
    Remember Baker
    They left their childhood
    On every acre
    And who was wrong
    And who was right
    It didn't matter
    in the thick of the fight
    We, held the day
    In the palm of our hands
    They, ruled the night
    And the night, seemed to last
    as long as six weeks
    On Parris Island
    We held the coastline
    They held the highland
    And they were sharp
    As sharp as knives
    They heard the hum of the mortars
    They counted the rotors
    And waited for us to arrive
    And we would all go down together
    We said we'd all go down together
    Yes we would all go down together

    Simple Man- Lynard Skynard. It makes me think of my sons and chokes me up every time.


    Mama told me when I was young
    "Come sit beside me, my only son
    And listen closely to what I say
    And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day"
    "Oh, take your time, don't live too fast
    Troubles will come and they will pass
    You'll find a woman and you'll find love
    And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"
    "And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
    "Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
    All that you need is in your soul
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"
    "And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
    Oh yes, I will
    "Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself
    Follow your heart and nothing else
    And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
    All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"
    "And be a simple kind of man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby be a simple kind of man
    Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"
    Baby, be a simple, really simple man
    Oh, be something you love and understand
    Baby, be a simple, kind of simple man

    We have no secrets
    We tell each other everything
    About the lovers in the past
    And why they didn't last
    We share a cast of characters from A to Z
    We know each others fantasies
    And though we know each other better when we explore
    Sometimes I wish
    Often I wish
    That I never knew some of those secrets of yours
    The water was cold
    The beach was empty but for one
    Now you were lying in the sun
    Wanting and needing no-one
    Then some child came, you never asked for her to come
    She drank a pint of your rum
    And later when you told me
    You aid she was a bore
    Sometimes I wish
    Often I wish
    That I never knew some of those secrets of yours
    In the name of honesty, in the name of what is fair
    You always answer my questions
    But they don't always answer my prayers
    And though I know you say that it's me that you adore
    Sometimes I wish
    Often I wish
    That I never, never, never knew
    Some of those secrets of yours
    Some of those secrets of yours
    Some of those secrets of yours
    We have no secrets
    Telling each other most everything now

    Here comes the rain again
    Falling on my head like a memory
    Falling on my head like a new emotion
    I want to walk in the open wind
    I want to talk like lovers do
    I want to dive into your ocean
    Is it raining with you
    So baby talk to me
    Like lovers do
    Walk with me
    Like lovers do
    Talk to me
    Like lovers do
    Here comes the rain again
    Raining in my head like a tragedy
    Tearing me apart like a new emotion
    Oh
    I want to breathe in the open wind
    I want to kiss like lovers do
    I want to dive into your ocean
    Is it raining with you
    So baby talk to me
    Like lovers do
    Here comes the rain again
    Falling on my head like a memory
    Falling on my head like a new emotion
    (Here is comes again, here it comes again)
    I want to walk in the open wind
    I want to talk like lovers do
    I want dive into your ocean
    Is it raining with you

    Holding back the years
    Thinking of the fear I've had so long
    When somebody hears
    Listen to the fear that's gone
    Strangled by the wishes of pater
    Hoping for the arms of mater
    Get to me the sooner or later
    Holding back the tears
    Chance for me to escape from all I know
    Holding back the tears
    'Cause nothing here has grown
    I've wasted all my tears
    Wasted all those years
    Nothing had the chance to be good
    Nothing ever could, yeah
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on, so tight
    Well I've wasted all my tears
    Wasted all of those years
    And nothing had the chance to be good
    'Cause nothing ever could
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    Holding
    Holding
    Holding
    Holding
    I said
    It's all I have today
    It's all I have to say

    Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
    I was caught
    In the middle of a railroad track
    I looked round
    And I knew there was no turning back
    My mind raced
    And I thought what could I do
    And I knew
    There was no help, no help from you
    Sound of the drums
    Beating in my heart
    The thunder of guns
    Tore me apart
    You've been
    Thunderstruck
    Rode down the highway
    Broke the limit, we hit the town
    Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
    We met some girls
    Some dancers who gave a good time
    Broke all the rules
    Played all the fools
    Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
    And I was shaking at the knees
    Could I come again please
    Yeah them ladies were too kind
    You've been
    Thunderstruck
    I was shaking at the knees
    Could I come again please
    Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
    It's alright, we're doin' fine
    It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
    Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
    Thunderstruck, baby, baby
    Thunderstruck, you've been Thunderstruck
    Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
    You've been Thunderstruck

    Skid row- 18 and life

    It's pretty powerful about a youth who grew up in poor life didn't have much. In the end he shot his best friend and he sitting in jail for his poor decision

    I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
    They crawl in like a cockroach, leaving babies in my bed
    Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
    Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
    There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
    An ounce of peace is all I want for you; will you never call again?
    And will you never say that you loved me just to put it in my face?
    And will you never try to reach me?
    It is I that wanted space

    [Hook]
    Hate me today
    Hate me tomorrow
    Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
    Hate me in ways
    Yeah, ways hard to swallow
    Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

    [Verse 2]
    I’m sober now for 3 whole months
    It’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
    The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
    In a sick way, I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
    While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
    You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
    You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
    So I’ll drive so *kitten* far away that I never cross your mind
    And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

    [Hook]
    Hate me today
    Hate me tomorrow
    Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
    Hate me in ways
    Yeah, ways hard to swallow
    Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

    [Bridge]
    And with a sad heart, I say bye to you and wave
    Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
    And like a baby boy, I never was a man
    Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
    And then I fell down yelling, “Make it go away!”
    Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
    And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

    HATE ME - BLUE OCTOBER

    Somewhere a clock strikes midnight
    And there's a full moon in the sky
    You hear a dog bark in the distance
    You hear someone's baby cry
    A rat runs down the alley
    And a chill runs down your spine
    And someone walks across your grave
    And you wish the sun would shine
    'Cause no one's gonna warn you
    And no one's gonna yell attack
    And you don't feel the steel
    Till it's hangin' out your back
    I’m your night prowler, asleep in the day
    Night prowler, get outta my way
    Yeah I’m the prowler, watch out tonight
    Yes I’m the night prowler, when you turn out the light
    Too scared to turn your light out
    'Cause there's somethin' on your mind
    Was that a noise outside the window
    What's that shadow on the blind
    As you lie there naked
    Like a body in a tomb
    Suspended animation as I slip into your room
    I’m your night prowler, asleep in the day
    Yeah I'm the night prowler, get outta my way
    Look out for the night prowler, watch out tonight
    Yes I’m the night prowler, when you turn out the light
    I’m your night prowler, asleep in the day
    Yes I’m the night prowler, get outta my way
    Look out for the night prowler, watch out tonight
    Yes I’m the night prowler, when you turn out the light
    I’m your night prowler, break down your door
    I’m your night prowler, crawling across your floor
    I’m the night prowler, make a mess of you, yes I will
    Night prowler
    And I’m telling this to you
    There ain't nothing
    There ain't nothing
    Nothing you can do
