ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES LYRICS - I Write The Songs

ME FIRST & THE GIMME GIMMES LYRICS

"I Write The Songs"

Originally by Barry Manilow

I've been alive forever

And I wrote the very first song

I put the words and melodies together

I am music and I write the songs



I write the songs that make the whole world sing

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



My home lies deep within you

And I've got my own place in your soul

Now when I look out through your eyes

I am young again even though I'm very old



[repeat chorus]



My music makes you dance and gives you spirit to take a chance

And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move

Music fills your heart and that's a real fine way to start

It's from me, it's for you, it's from you, it's for me

It's a worldwide symphony



[repeat chorus]



Yeah! I write the songs that make the whole world scream!

I write the songs of love and special things

I write the songs that make the young girls cry

I write the songs, I write the songs



I am music (music) and I write the songs

Yeah

ARMOR FOR SLEEP LYRICS - Kind Of Perfect

ARMOR FOR SLEEP LYRICS

"Kind Of Perfect"

Can I just be something,

Somewhere in your room,

That you won't notice.



Maybe I'll be paper,

Or books thrown on your floor,

Move me when you want to.



I'll live where you put me,

In your VCR,

If I become a cassette.



Or on top of your computer,

If that's where I would fit,

Then so be it.



But things can't be perfect,

All the time, that I know.

Sometimes we just have to let some things go.



I will not say one word,

I'll just hang around,

I won't annoy you at all.



When you move out I'll stay,

Until I'm thrown away,

But then it won't matter.



Things can't be perfect,

All the time, that I know.

Sometimes we just have to let some things go.



Because things can't be perfect,

All the time, that I know.

Sometimes we just have to let some things go.



I promise to stop now,

To stop now.

I promise to stop now,

To stop now.



But things can't be perfect,

All the time, that I know.

Sometimes we just have to let some things go.



Things can't be perfect,

All the time, that I know.

Sometimes we just have to let some things go.



Letting go is my life,

I'll be on my way..

ARMY OF FRESHMEN LYRICS - Summer's Over

ARMY OF FRESHMEN LYRICS

"Summer's Over"

it's the time of the year

when the good things disappear

everything dies and you ask yourself why

two and a half, wanna laugh, do the math

winter of my discontent, freedom's gonna pay the rent



time, you know, well it rears it's ugly head again

fast forward, it's over



and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over

and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over



and the last of loyal covered up in baby oil

lesson learned, body burned and release the mortal coil

Steger Boys are home, no more sharking of the loan

yellow bus deliver us, sea unto the stone



time, you know, it rears it's ugly head again

fly south kid, game over



and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over

and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over



comatose, comatose, here I stand

with my heart in a song and my head in the sand

I'm not giving up, I don't wanna try

and I'm not really crying, it's sand in my eyes

Buddy Holly nose dived to the summertime blues

Brian Wilson went mad with the summertime blues

Eddie got mad and he said he's gonna sue



and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over

and I don't want too much

when it's over, summer's over, summer's over

BUTTHOLE SURFERS LYRICS - Pepper

BUTTHOLE SURFERS LYRICS

"Pepper"

Marky got with Sharon

And Sharon got Sharice

She was sharing Sharon's outlook

On the topic of disease

Mikey had a facial scar

And Bobby was a racist

They were all in love with dyin'

They were doing it in Texas

Tommy played piano

Like a kid out in the rain

Then he lost his leg in Dallas

He was dancing with a train

They were all in love with dyin'

They were drinking from a fountain

That was pouring like an avalanche

Coming down the mountain

I don't mind the sun sometimes

The images it shows

I can taste you on my lips

And smell you in my clothes

Cinnamon and sugary

And softly spoken lies

You never know just how you look

Through other people's eyes

Some will die in hot pursuit

In fiery auto crashes

Some will die in hot pursuit

While sifting through my ashes

Some will fall in love with life

And drink it from a fountain

That is pouring like an avalanche

Coming down the mountain



[Chorus]



Another Mikey took a knife

While arguing in traffic

Flipper died a natural death

He caught a nasty virus

Then there was the ever-present

Football player rapist

They were all in love with dyin'

They were doing it in Texas

Polly caught a bullet

But it only hit his leg

Well it should have been a better shot

And got him in the head

They were all in love with dyin'

They were drinking from a fountain

That was pouring like an avalanche

Coming down the mountain



[Chorus]

BLACK FLAG LYRICS - The Swinging Man

BLACK FLAG LYRICS

"The Swinging Man"

Swinging man I'm hanging around Hangin' 'round I'm the swinging man and my feet Never touch the ground Swinging man Swinging man I swing back and forth Back and forth Back and forth Back and forth I was looking for a little warmth But I didn't find nuthin' So now I'm hanging around Swinging man Feeling no pain No pain No pain No pain All the girls know my name I go by; swinging man Swinging man I tell you what - you get yourself together And you go downtown, you come on home And I'll still be hangin' around Because I'm the swinging man And my feet never touch the ground Now if you love me, you'll cut me down But if not, I'll still be hangin' around cause I'm the swinging man and my feet Never touch the ground I'm the swinging man.

HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS LYRICS - Sandpaper And Silk

HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS LYRICS

"Sandpaper And Silk"

Wait 'til after dark

we'll try to make a mark

one that stays until we're done



And we'll pretend again

let's try not to forget where we are

and who we're with

Who we will find.



Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade



As these words play out

they'll try and drag you down

you feel like one of them

Who we will find



Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade

Make sure that you can keep it

make sure you keep it in your heart

Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade



Make sure you keep it in your heart

Make sure you keep it... in your heart



Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade

Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade

Make sure that you can keep it

make sure you keep it in your heart

Miles can cut this tie we've made

the sharp side of the blade (in your heart)

GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS - Dance Floor Anthem

GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS

"Dance Floor Anthem"

She’s going out to forget they were together

All that time he was taking her for granted

She wants to see if there’s more

Than he gave she’s looking for



He calls her up

He’s tripping on the phone

Now he doesn’t want her out there and alone

Now he knows she’s moving it

Knows she’s using it

Now he’s loosing it

She don’t care



Everybody

Put up your hands Say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feel the beat now

If you’ve got nothing left say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Back it up now

You’ve got a reason to live say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feeling good now

Don’t be afraid to get down say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”



He was always giving her attention

Working hard to find the things she mentioned

He was dedicated

By most sucka’s hated

That girl was fine

But she didn’t appreciate him



She calls him up she’s tripping on the phone

Now he had to get up and he ain’t coming home

Now he’s trying to forget her

That's how he got with her

When he first met her

When they first got together



Everybody

Put up your hands Say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feel the beat now

If you’ve got nothing left say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Back it up now

You’ve got a reason to live say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feeling good now

Don’t be afraid to get down say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”



To the beat

To the beat

To the beat



You got nothing to lose,

Don’t be afraid to get down



We break up it’s something that we do now

Everyone has got to do it sometime

It’s okay

Let it go

Get out there and find someone



It’s too late to be tripping on the phone here

Get off the wire

Now everything is good here

Stop what you’re doing

You don’t wanna ruin

The chance that you got to

Find a new one



Everybody

Put up your hands Say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feel the beat now

If you’ve got nothing left say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Back it up now

You’ve got a reason to live say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”

Feeling good now

Don’t be afraid to get down say:

”I don’t wanna be in love, I don’t wanna be in love”



No

No



Now you know what to do

So come on

Feeling good
