Ben Lee - Gamble Everything for Love <3
Gamble everything for love
Gamble everything
Put it in a place you keep what you need
You can gamble everything for love if you’re free
You gotta gamble everything for love

Baby you cold are you cold
Baby I can wrap you up wrap you up in my love
If you wanna
You can gamble everything for love
If you wanna
You can gamble everything for love

Tell me are you’re feeling lost have you crossed
In the places that you never knew to get through
Tell me are you gonna cry all night
Tell me the truth and I’ll tell you the truth
If you gamble everything for love you’re gonna be alright
Alright

Make a list of the things you need
leave it empty
Except for number one Write love
Gamble everything
Keep it under lock and key
If you wanna
You can gamble everything for love

Love me with an open heart tell me anything
We can find a place to start
Gamble everything
We can set this thing apart
Coz we’re gonna gonna gamble everything for love

Tell me do you lose your way each day
Are there people you don't recognise, do they lie?
Tell me do I make you feel too real
Tell me the truth and I’ll tell you the truth
If you gamble everything for love you’re gonna be alright
Alright

Oooo you can go your own way
Oooo You can go your own way
Ooo you gotta go your own way
If you gamble everything for love
If you gamble everything for love
Gamble everything for love
Gamble everything
Put it in a place you keep what you need
You can gamble everything for love if your free
You gotta gamble everything for love

Tell me are you getting hurt
Is it worth it?
Tell me are the people strange do they change?
Tell me are you letting go, do you know?
I’ll tell you the truth if you tell me the truth
If you gamble everything for love
If you gamble everything for love
If you gamble everything for love you’re gonna be alright
Alright…
Alright…

U2-Original of the species




Baby slow down
The end is not as fun as the start
Please stay a child somewhere in your heart

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
And I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it

Some things you shouldn't get too good at
Like smiling, crying and celebrity
Some people got way too much confidence baby

I'll give you everything you want
Except the thing that you want
You are the first one of your kind

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want the lot of what you got
And I want nothing that you're not

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it, no
And you'll never be alone
Come on now show your soul
You've been keeping your love under control

Everywhere you go you shout it
You don't have to be shy about it
Everywhere you go you shout it
Oh my my

And you feel like no-one before
You steal right under my door
I kneel 'cause I want you some more
I want you some more, I want you some more...

who's gonna give a shit
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall
and you're turned up to top volume
and you're just sitting there in pause
with your feral little secret
scratching at you with its claws
and you're trying hard to figure out
just exactly how you feel
before you end up parked and sobbing
forehead on the steering wheel

who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what

- ani difranco, so what

Bob Dylan - Hurricane

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter patty valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, my god, they killed them all!
Here comes the story of the hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin’ that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin’ there does patty see
And another man named bello, movin’ around mysteriously.
I didn’t do it, he says, and he throws up his hands
I was only robbin’ the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin’, he says, and he stops
One of us had better call up the cops.
And so patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin’
In the hot new jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin carter and a couple of friends are drivin’ around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda shit was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In paterson that’s just the way things go.
If you’re black you might as well not show up on the street
’less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and arthur dexter bradley were just out prowlin’ around
He said, I saw two men runnin’ out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates.
And miss patty valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin’ and they haul rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin’ eye
Says, wha’d you bring him in here for? he ain’t the guy!
Yes, here’s the story of the hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin’ that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin’s in south america, fightin’ for his name
While arthur dexter bradley’s still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin’ the screws to him, lookin’ for somebody to blame.
Remember that murder that happened in a bar?
Remember you said you saw the getaway car?
You think you’d like to play ball with the law?
Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin’ that night?
Don’t forget that you are white.

Arthur dexter bradley said, I’m really not sure.
Cops said, a poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we’re talkin’ to your friend bello
Now you don’t wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You’ll be doin’ society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin’ braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain’t no gentleman jim.

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It’s my work, he’d say, and I do it for pay
And when it’s over I’d just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jailhouse
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of rubin’s cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made rubin’s witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The d.a. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder one, guess who testified?
Bello and bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool’s hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While rubin sits like buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That’s the story of the hurricane,
But it won’t be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he’s done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Athlete - wires

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
You got tears, making tracks,
I got tears, that are scared of the fact

Running down corridors through,
automatic doors
Got to get to you
Got to see this through
I seen hope is here
In a plastic box
I've seen christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in
You got wires, coming out of your skin
There’s dry blood, on your wrist
Your dry blood, On my fingertip

Running down corridors through,
automatic doors
got to get to you
got see this through

First night of your life
Curled up on your own
Looking at me now
You would never know

I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
You’ll be alright

I see it in your eyes
I see it in your eyes
You’ll be alright

Alright…..

Running down corridors through,
automatic doors
Got to get to you
Got to see this through
I see hope is here
In a plastic box
I've seen Christmas lights reflect in your eyes

Running down corridors through,
automatic doors
Got to get to you
Got to see this through
First night of your life
Curled up on your own
Looking at you now
You would never know

i am walking out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan of the dialtone again
and i am getting nowhere with you
and i can't let it go
and i can't get through...

the woman behind the pink curtains and the closed door
on the first floor
she's listening to see how long our swan song can last
and both hands,
i use both hands

i am writing graffiti on your body
i am drawing the story of how hard we tried
i am watching your chest rise and fall
like the tides of my life
and the rest of it all

and your bones have been my bedframe
and your flesh has been my pillow
i am waiting for sleep
to offer up the deep
with both hands

and in each other’s shadows we grew less and less tall
and eventually our theories couldn’t explain it all
and i’m recording our history now on the bedroom wall
and eventually the landlord will come
and paint over it all

and i am walking
out in the rain
and i am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
and i am getting nowhere with you
and i can’t let it go
and i can’t get though

so now use both hands
please use both hands
oh, no don’t close your eyes

i am writing graffitti on your body
i am drawing the story of how hard we tried,
how hard we tried

Lyrics to Determined by mudvayne

GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

I'm tired of holdin' up the weight,
the weight of the motherfuckin' world.
What I wanted to do, but just can't wait
DO RIGHT NOW!!!
We could start a little fire just to get in the flame
The type that'll blow away.
I'm speakin' of my 15 minutes of fame
Come on now 1 2 3...

GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

I'm flushing the trust of everyone,
stabbing in the back and thinkin' they can break me.
Set my sight can't die until I'm done
MIND ENDURANCE!!!
Never wanted any more than what I deserve,
better bring it I'm takin' it all.
Fuck an inch 'cause I'm bringin' a mile,
It's on now 1 2 3...

GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

This fire, is growing, it's burning, deep inside of me.
Focused, driven, certain, the way it's got to be

FIRE, GROWING, BURNING, DEEP INSIDE OF ME!!!
FOCUSED, DRIVEN, CERTAIN, THE WAY IT'S GOT TO BE!!!

CROOKED (No Trust)
LIAR (Conman)
DRUNK WITH (Power)
MENTOR (Taught me everything that I know)

SO WRONG,
WRONG
WRONG
WRONG

1 2 3 !!!

GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, SO FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

GO, I'M FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT CONFIDENCE
GO, I'M FUCKING DETERMINED, YEAH
YEAH GO, SPIT OUT ALL REASON, YEAH

Gyroscope - sharp words

I've been watching the clock all night, i'm done.. i know the night is young.
You've been talking the ears clean off my head..
Therefore i haven't heard a word you've said.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding from all your sharp words.
Could you hit me from where i am?
And would you hit me now where i stand?
I've been listening you know that.. obviously you know that.
Anyway.. we fall away.. your tongue is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
I can't breathe.
Anyway.. it's the way.. my throat is bleeding now.
Anyway.. it's the way.. i am leaving now.
I can't breathe.

AFI - Silver And Cold

Cold in life's throes.
I'll fall asleep for you.
Cold in life's throes.
I only ask you turn away.
Cold in life's throes.
I'll fall asleep for you.
Cold in life's throes
I only ask you turn
as they seep into me,
oh, my beautiful one, now...

Your sins into me,
oh, my beautiful one.
Your sins into me.
As a rapturous voice escapes
I will tremble a prayer
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me,
Your sins into me

------------------
Actually the only thing i like is the "I'll fall asleep for you" line which is think is so pathetic and corny that it makes me go "awww..."

I'M ON FIRE - bruce springsteen (but i prefer the tori amos version.. . . )

Hey little boy is your mother home
Did she go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

Tell me now baby is she good to you
Does she do to you the things I don't do
I can take you higher
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
Edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
Through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
And a freight train running through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire
Oh oh oh, I'm on fire

Tool - schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers/brothers

I think I'm drowning
Asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
That you've created

You're something beautiful
A contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

You will be the death of me
You will be the death of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted

Now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
You'd never dream of
Breaking this fixation

You will squeeze the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

You will suck the life out of me

Bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
Ooooohh

I don't believe
in the smile that you leave me with
when you walk away and say goodbye
I don't expect
the world to move beneath me
but for God's sake could you try?
I know that you're true t me
you're always there, you say you care
I know that you want to be mine

Where is you heart?
cause I don't really feel you
Where is you heart?
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard?
to give me what i need
I want your heart to bleed
and that's all I'm asking for
where is your heart?

I don't understand
your love is so cold it's always me
who's reaching out for your hand
I always dreamed
that love would be effortless
like a petal falling to the ground
like a dreamer following his dream
it seems so much is left inside
but you can say anything anytime you need

Where is you heart?
cause I don't really feel you
Where is you heart?
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard?
to give me what i need
I want your heart to bleed
and that's all I'm asking for
where is your heart?

I know that you're true to me
you're always there you say you care
I know that you want to be mine

Where is you heart?
cause I don't really feel you
Where is you heart?
what i really want is to believe you
is it so hard?
to give me what i need
I want your heart to bleed
and that's all I'm asking for
where is your heart?

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
and there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things
that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Lullabies, look in your eyes,
Run around the same old town.
Doesn't mean that much to me
To mean that much to you.

I've been first and last
Look at how the time goes past.
But I'm all alone at last.
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true.

Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Talk to me now I'm older
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and then phone me.

We could go and get 40s
Fuck goin' to that party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me.

12:51 is the time my voice
Found the words i sought...
Is it this stage I want?

The world is shutting out...for us.
We were tense for sure,
But we was confident...

Kiss me now that I'm older
I won't try to control you
Friday nights have been lonely
Take it slow but don't warn me

We'd go out and get 40s
Then we'd go to some party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright I'm coming...

I'll be right there.

It's about time that I came clean with you
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
I though that I found myself under something new
Just one more line I repeat over and over again
'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
Because I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

It's about time that you got sick of me
No longer fun, and so far from interesting
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
In disgrace with a shameful regret
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
When you left that night

And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
And I haven't slept since I met you
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
And neither can I
So what do you say?
Your coffin, or mine?

*stupid stupid boys (and girl :mad: ), made it my theme song.
