ARCTIC MONKEYS LYRICS

"505"

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect,
I probably still adore you with your hands around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,

Not shy of a spark,
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

But I crumble completely when you cry,
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye,
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise,
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs and a smile!

[Samuele]

(Intro)
Shit, tired of gettin shot at,
tired of gettin chased by the police and arrested.
Niggaz need a spot where WE can kick it,
a spot where WE belong, that's jus' for us.
Niggaz ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood, Y'knowahimean?
Where do niggas go when we die?
Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga,
that's why we go to Thug Mansion.
That's the only place where thugs get in free,
and you gotta be a G... at Thug Mansion.

(Tupac)
A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind,
so much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times.
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda' tried,
but when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes.
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble,
not knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you.
Picture me inside the misery of poverty,
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived,
Prayin' hard for better days, promised to hold on,
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on,
We finally found a spot to kick it,
where we could drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit,
a spot where we could smoke in peace,
and even tho' we G's we still visualize places,
that we can roll in peace,
and in my mind's eye, I see this place,
the playas goin past,
And got a spot for us all, so we can ball...
at Thugz Mansion

(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.

(NAS)
A place where death doesn't reside,
just thugs who collide,
not to start beef, but spark trees,
no cops rollin by, no policemen,
no homicide, no chalk on the streets,
no reason for nobody's momma to cry.
See, I'm a good guy,
I'm tryin to stick around for my daughter,
but if I should die, I know all of my albums support her,
This whole year has been crazy,
asked the Holy Spirit to save me,
only difference 'tween me and Ossie Davis, gray hair maybe,
'Cause I feel like my eye's saw too much sufferin',
I'm Just twenty-some odd years,
I done lost my mother,
and I cry tears of joy,
I know she smiles on her boy,
I dream of you more,
My love goes to Afeni Shakur,
'Cause like Anne Jones,
She raised a ghetto king in a war,
and just for that alone,
she shouldn't feel no pain no more,
'cause one day we'll all be together,
sippin heavenly champagne.
What Angels saw, with golden wings,
in Thugz Mansion.

(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion.

(Tupac)
Dear momma don't cry,
your baby boy's doin good,
tell the homies I'm in heaven,
and they ain't got hoods,
Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night,
It had me shook,
drinkin Peppermint Schnapps
with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cook,
then some lady named Billie Holiday,
sang sittin' there, kicking it with Malcom,
'till the day came,
Little LaTasha sure grown,
Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home,
Maybe in time you'll understand that only God can save us,
When Miles Davis cuttin' loose with the band,
Just think of all the people that you knew in the past,
that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last,
Picture a place that they exist, together,
There has to be a place better than this, in heaven,
so right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin,
remember this face, save me a place, in Thugz Mansion.

(Chorus)
Every corner, every city,
there's a place where life's a little easy,
Little Hennessy, laid back and cool,
every hour, 'cause it's all good.
Leave all the stress from the world outside,
Every wrong done will be allright,
Nothin but peace, love, street passion,
Every ghetto needs a Thug Mansion.

Traducete a ascoltate questa bellissima canzone di Norah Jones perchè dice cose davvero molto divertenti e interessanti...

'Twas Halloween and the ghosts were out,
And everywhere they'd go, they shout,
And though I covered my eyes I knew,
They'd go away.

But fear's the only thing I saw,
And three days later 'twas clear to all,
That nothing is as scary as election day.

But the day after is darker,
And darker and darker it goes,
Who knows, maybe the plans will change,
Who knows, maybe he's not deranged.

The news men know what they know, but they,
Know even less than what they say,
And I don't know who I can trust,
For they come what may.

'cause we believed in our candidate,
But even more it's the one we hate,
I needed someone I could shake,
On election day.

But the day after is darker,
And deeper and deeper we go,
Who knows, maybe it's all a dream,
Who knows if I'll wake up and scream.

I love the things that you've given me,
I cherish you my dear country,
But sometimes I don't understand,
The way we play.

I love the things that you've given me,
And most of all that I am free,
To have a song that I can sing,
On election day.

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
Lairy girls hung out the window of a limousine
Of course it's fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on in bunny ears and devil horns and hats

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand that you can never beat the bandit no

And she won't be surprised, no she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
Yeah, you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
And you can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Owt you send her after nine o' clock

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there'll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah
Regardless of what's gone before

And she won't be surprised, no she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot

And you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that in mind
Yeah, you should bear that in mind tonight, bear that...

And you can pour your heart out aroud three o'clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block

[virginbilly]

Adoro questa versione....





Take me out tonight
Where theres music and theres people
And theyre young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I havent got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and i
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please dont drop me home
Because its not my home, its their
Home, and Im welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I dont care
I dont care, I dont care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i
Just couldnt ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I dont care
I dont care, I dont care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I havent got one, da ...
Oh, I havent got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
.....

[virginbilly]

ed eccolo il mio fantastico---mitico---spettacolare---grandioso---magico---
Michael Stipe I love him!!!!!!!





I was hell
Sarcastic silver swell
That day it rained
Tough spun. Hard won. No
Ocean flower aquarium
Badlands. Give a hand
Honey dipt. Flim flam
Hey hey. Hey hey
That cat can walk like a big bad man

So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus

Storefront window, I reflect
Just last week I was merely heck
Tip the scale. I was hell
Picked me up, then I fell
Who's this stranger? Crowbar spine
Dot dot dot and I feel fine
Let it rain, rain, rain (rain)
Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
I ate the lotus

Let it rain, rain, rain (rain)
Save me from myself again
Wash away my ugly sins
Opposing thumb, dorsal fin
That monkey died for my grin
Bring my happy back again
Let it rain (rain), rain, rain (rain)
Bring my happy back again

So happy to show us
I ate the lotus
Say haven't you noticed?
I ate the lotus
.......................

[virginbilly]

First love, last love
Only love, it's only love

First love, last love
Only love, it's only love

Do you miss home?
Do you miss home?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical?

Oh oh oh oh
Let's get married
And tick the boxes
And so she says
Oh lets get married
And tick the boxes

Do you want to be alone?
Do you want to be alone?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical,
Hypocritical,
Analytical,
So critical
Nothing's perfect, and I'm hoping I'll do, do, but I will not do
Cause nothing's perfect so I'll have to make do

And it's my mistake
And no mistake
And I would take it back if I could
So stay with me tonight

I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
And pillow talk you into it
I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
Entice you with this leopard print
And matching velvet duvet

First love, last love
Only love, it's only love

First love, last love
Only love, it's only love

Only love
Only love
It's only love

L'inizio è MAGICO!

My Chemical Romance The Sharpest Lives Lyrics

Well it rains and it pours
When you're out on your own
If I crash on the couch
Can I sleep in my clothes?
'Cause I've spent the night dancing
I'm drunk, I suppose
If it looks like I'm laughing
I'm really just asking to leave

This alone, you're in time for the show
You're the one that I need
I'm the one that you loathe
You can watch me corrode like a beast and repose
'Cause I love all the poison
Away with the boys in the band

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

There's a place in the dark where the animals go
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
Juliett loves the beat and the lust it commands
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo

I've really been on a bender and it shows
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Oh!

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
A kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
A light to burn all the empires
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
In love with all of these vampires
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Oooooo, Oooooo, Oooooo yeah, Oooooo

[Samuele]

(feat. Justin Vince)
[Justin Vince]
When I first met you
You stood by my side
And when you asked me to be yours
You made me cry
And so I was prepared
To take all the blows at the chin
But you never mentioned cheating
Please tell me what happened

[Kelis & Justin Vince]
What makes you think?
You get away with that
Talking to my best friend
Behind my back
Look what you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful loss
Wouldn't you agree?

[Kelis]
She introduced me to you
Said you were just friends
She assured me you were the one
For me until the end
Now I should have known
By the magic between you two
That angel faces like yours
Can lie too, can lie too

[Kelis & Justin Vince]
Look what you did to us
Look what you did to me
What a wonderful loss
Wouldn't you agree?
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)
Wouldn't you agree?
(Na, na, na, na, na)

[Kelis]
When I see my friends
They've got to know

[Justin]
I not only lost a friend
But now my heart's about to explode

[Kelis (Justin)]
Now there's something I'd like
To say before I make my outro
(Oh God) Oh God
(Do you see that?)
Did you see that?
(There they go)
There they go

[Kelis (Justin)]
Why would you do this to me? (Yeah)
You can't lie in my face
(I thought you were my best friend, yeah)
Behind my back
Look at what you've do to me
(How could you do this to me?)
Can't believe what you've done to me
(How could you do this to me?)
Wouldn't you agree, yeah
(This can not be, he was my friend)
Love loss

[primulablue]

Dark is the night for all

It's time we said goodbye
Time now to decide
O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all
It's time we moved out West
This time will be the best
And when the evenings fall
Dark is the night for all
It's time...yeah, to break free
It's time to pull away
For you and for me
It's time...yeah, to break free
We need to celebrate the mystery
It's time we said goodbye
Time for you and I
O' don't you feel so small
Dark is the night for all

[primulablue]

You'll never get over me

You…say you want some fun
You're not the only one
Not the only one
And you say you wanna run
You're not the only one
Not the only one
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You say you want some
You're not the only one
Not the only one
And you, you say you've come undone
You're not the only one
Not the only one
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You'll never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You'll never get over me
You'll never get over me
You'll never get over me
You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
You'll never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet
Never get over me
Never get over me

[primulablue]

Take on me

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
Oh the things that you say
Is it life or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

[primulablue]

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

This love has taken its toll on me
She said Goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on her hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
Cause I know that's what you want me to do

[Samuele]

Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate

Theres truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
Theres truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've gots what you didn't take

So I, I wont be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets
Dont lie

You promise me the sky

Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone

Theres truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've gots what you didn't take

So I, I wont be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets
Dont lie

So I, I wont be the one
Be the one to leave this in pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets and regrets
Dont lie

[raffa84]

Fantastiche!!!

[Gcorvetti]

Ciao a tutti mi piace sta cosa e per questo posto un lyrics e video molto particolare per chi ama i sapori forti come me. Il brano è Powerslave degli Iron Maiden dall'album omonimo, video estrapolato da Live after death. Nel video Bruce Dickinson porta una maschera da falco che simboleggia Horus un dio egizio, infatti l'album è caratterizzato da simbologie egizie nella copertina. Nel video appare anche Eddie la mascotte degli Iron in versione mummia, buona visione.




Into the abyss Ill fall-the eye of horus
Into the eyes of the night-watching me go
Green is the cats eye that glows-in this temple
Enter the risen osiris-risen again.

Chorus
Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I dont wanna die, Im a god, why cant I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
Im a slave to the power of death.

When I was living this lie-fear was my game
People would worship and fall-drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a god-and he will die too.

Chorus

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone
Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave.

[Pulpik]

The best song of all time...
(non so nemmeno se ho scritto correttamente )

(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

[sl-Elisa]

The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up
And never lets it show
She can't take much more of this
But she can't let it go
And that's ok, she don't want the world

All the things she says
While he's just lying there
Without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream
About a place to hide
And that's ok, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

Those words he never spoke
Haunt her life, the memories
Of all the times before
She tried to show him love
While he would only ask for more
But it's ok, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing
For slowly appear
She's seen them all before
But somehow never quite this clear
She just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known
Or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away
Now how's she gonna live
It's ok, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again
This time to face the day
She swears there's time to make it
As she simply walks away
And it's ok, she don't want the world
