I don't have to try - Avril Lavigne


I'm the one, I'm the one who knows the dance
I'm the one, I'm the one who's got the prance
I'm the one, I'm the one who wears the pants
I wear the pants
I'm the one who tells you what to do
You're the one, you're the one if I let you
I'm the one, I'm the one who wears the pants
I wear the pants

Hey you, follow me I'll take the lead
Can't you see
Don't you question me
You just do what I say

I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready, get ready cause I'm happening
I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready, get ready cause I'm on the scene

[Chorus]
I don't have to try
To make you realize
Anything I wanna do, anything I'm gonna do
Anything I wanna do I do
And I don't have to try

Don't you disagree
Cause you know it's all about me
Be at my beck and call
I'm a know-it-all
And it's all your fault

I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready, get ready cause I'm happening
I don't care what you're saying
I don't care what you're thinking
I don't care about anything
Get ready, get ready cause I'm on the scene

[Chorus X2]

Don't have to try

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite


I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well,
Will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite Yeah!! If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite

Regina Spektor - 20 Years Of Snow


He's a wounded animal
He lives in a matchbox
He's a wounded animal
And he's been coming around here

He's a dying breed
He's a dying breed

His daughter is twenty years of snow falling
She's twenty years of strangers looking into each other's eyes
She's twenty years of clean
She never truly hated anyone or anything

She's a dying breed
She's a dying breed

She says I'd prefer the moss
I'd prefer the mouth
A baby of the swamps
A baby of the south
I'm twenty years of clean
And I never truly hated anyone or anything
Twenty years of clean
Twenty years of clean

But I got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators with their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugarcubes

But I got to get me out of here
This place is full of dirty old men
And the navigators with their mappy maps
And moldy heads and pissing on sugarcubes

While you stare at your boots
And the words float out like holograms
And the words float out like holograms
And the words float out like holograms
They say, feel the waltz, feel the waltz
Come on, baby, baby, now feel the waltz
Feel the waltz, feel the waltz
Come on, baby, baby, now feel the waltz

Tasmin Archer - Sleeping Satellite


I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Did we fly to the moon too soon?
Did we squander the chance?
In the rush of the race
The reason we chase is lost in romance
And still we try
To justify the waste
For a taste of man's greatest adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Have we got what it takes to advance?
Did we peak too soon?
If the world is so green
Then why does it scream under a blue moon?
We wonder why
The Earth's sacrificed
For the price of its greatest treasure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

And when we shoot for the stars
What a giant step
Have we got what it takes
To carry the weight of this concept?
Or pass it by
Like a shot in the dark
Miss the mark with a sense of adventure

I blame you for the moonlit sky
And the dream that died with the Eagle's flight
I blame you for the moonlit nights
When I wonder why
Are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Avenged Sevenfold - Clairvoyant Disease


Dust begins to fall, to the ground
The air is cold and thin
Thoughts are haunting me as I look around
This will never end and I'll bleed forever

Don't acknowledge right, just dwell on wrong
This spot in hell's where I belong
I've come so far - it's been so long
Don't know why it started or where it came from

Outside shell is strong - confident
But slowly eats away
Like a man plagued with disease, I try to fight
Through my pores it seems to seep...
I'll bleed forever

And you sit there and do nothing
You're content with doing nothing

There's nowhere to run and hide
when you're living to die
Stuck alone inside your head,
better off dead
The phone would ring in the empty house,
no one's around.

But in my life, I wanted more, I needed more
I taste more

Nightwish - Amaranth

Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself

War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Dave Gahan - Kingdom

Can you feel me coming?
Open the door, it’s only me
I have that desperate feeling
And trouble is where I’m going to be

I know you hear me knocking
So open the door and set me free

If there’s a kingdom beyond it all
Is there a God that loves us all
Do we believe in love at all?
I’m still pretending I’m not a fool

So in your infinite wisdom
You show me how this life should be
All your love and glory
Doesn’t mean that much to me

If there’s a kingdom beyond it all
Is there a God that loves us all
Do we believe in love at all?
I’m still pretending I’m not a fool

Bush - Mouth


You gave me this, made me give
Your silver grin still sticking it in
You have soul machine, soul machine

The longest kiss, peeling furniture days
Drift madly to you, pollute my heart drain
You have broken at me, broken me

All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth

Your loaded smiles, pretty just desserts
Wish it all for you so much it never hurts
You have soul machine, stone at me

All your mental armour drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth,
Your mouth, mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth

We've been missing long before
Never found our way home
We've been missing long before
Where we'll find our way

You gave me this, made me give
You have soul machine, broken free

All your mental armour drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armour drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth,
Your mouth, mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth

All your mental armour
All your mental armour and your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth
Your mouth

Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box


She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back

Hey
Wait
I've got a new conplaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

The Offspring - Gotta Get Away


Getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One bad habit that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

Tell you something, just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
There's a reason, don't you know?
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

whoa...whoa...
whoa...whoa...

Sitting on the bed
and I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (revolution)
The word is all of us

I've given my life to become what I am
to preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (revolution)
The word is all of us

Seven years of power
the corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow

The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down the crown
Educate the masses, we'll burn the White House down

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (revolution)
The word is all of us

Savage Garden - Crash And Burn


When you feel all alone
And the world has turned it's back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Dishwalla - Collide


When I came here there was more.
Now I've come back to destroy,
and I've got nothing left,
and it's a shame what we've become,
when we hurt the ones we love,
and it's a place I can not go,
anymore.

When we collide we lose ourselves.
When we collide we break in two,
and as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
it's a hard mistake.
When we collide,
we break.

When the cold comes crashing down,
and the fight lost what it's about.
I could tell that you'd left.
It's a shame what we've become,
when we hurt the ones we love.
It's a place I can not go,
anymore.

When we collide we lose ourselves.
When we collide we break in two,
and as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
it's a hard mistake.
When we collide,
When we collide.

It's a hard mistake,
when we collide.

It's a mistake,
when we collide we lose ourselves,
when we collide we break in two,
and as we push and we shove and we hurt the ones we love,
it's a hard mistake,
when we collide,
when we collide.

It's a hard mistake,
when we collide, we break,
we break

Precious - Depeche Mode

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to You?

We always try to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put You through...

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for You

If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's Your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray You learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in Your heart for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Paolo Martella - Domani


Forse c'e' un'uscita sola da qualche parte,
trovami un futuro, vuoi, sulle tue carte
inventami un passato, regalami anche una storia,
un antidoto, che disinneschi la mia memoria.

Dominami, e poi, dominami ancora
non vorrei aver visto altro di cio' che vedo ora
e adesso e' te che vedo, a te io credo
e a te che chiedo aiuto a te che mi sospendi tra il tuo sorriso e il tuo rifiuto
cedo me stesso davanti a tanta luce..

Io seguo un silente pensiero che dritto al tuo conduce,
ma staro' molto più attento a non ferirmi coi miliardi di frammenti dei miei vecchi sogni di vetro lasciati e ritrovati oggi su questo sentiero
che a ritroso ripercorro rivivendo la mia vita,
ripassando una lezione mai davvero fino in fondo capita.

E ancora ti cerchero' come aria da respirare
un nome si ce l'ho ma tu chiamami come ti pare
se c'e' una cosa giusta del mondo non lo so,
ma all'ombra di un sorriso un giorno o l'altro io ti respirero'.

Tu fai troppa luce cosi' sai anche un po' di buio
tienimi come un segreto che non vuole nessuno
abbandonarsi e' facile tra le tue braccia,
tu dolcemente preda che mi dara' la caccia.

Dominami e poi dominami ancora.. ora come allora.
Riflesso nei tuoi occhi ora so chi sono
se e' facile e il giudizio piu' difficile il perdono
quanti ultimi desideri per un solo condannato?

Veloce bilancio di cose che ho amato o detestato
e quante sono le altre che voglio e che non ho ancora avuto
bevo alla mia faccia che ride anche quando dentro il mio cuore grida aiuto
e in assoluto cio' che avevo perso restera' perduto.

Ed e' una amara legge che ho imparato ad accettare
camminero' sul fondo, continuero' a cercare
e ancora ti cerchero' come aria da respirare
un nome si ce l'ho ma tu chiamami come ti pare
se c'è una cosa giusta al mondo non lo so
ma all'ombra di un sorriso un giorno o l'altro ti respirero'.

Forse c'e' un'uscita sola da qualche parte,
trovami un futuro, vuoi, sulle tue carte
inventami un passato, regalami anche una storia,
un antidoto, che disinneschi la mia memoria.

Rage (Wagner-Smolski-Terrana) - All I want

I'm on the run, but I don't know
What is the scare, so there's no way to go
What do I fear to cross my way
It's gonna come like a kick in the ass

Father you've warned me, so I should have known
Something's not right
Set the alarm now, before it's too late
Make it allright

All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want

It's getting hard to understand
What is the right thing and what's a dead end
Don't wanna live like in disgrace
'Cause in the end it's a kick in the face

You tread on me and you give me the blame
This is not right
Don't mean to harm you, so treat me the same
Then it's allright

All I want is my own integrity
All I want is a chance of being free
It could be heaven on earth if we are one
All I want is to end what I've begun
That's all I want

The Stanglers - Golden Brown

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading west
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown

Evanescence - Where Will You Go


You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you want to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries before the dawn

But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape, you can't escape

You think I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape, you don't want to escape

I am so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can live your whole life all alone
I can hear you in a whisper, but you can't even hear me screaming

Where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape the truth
I realize you're afraid
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape, you won't escape
You can't escape, you don't want to escape

Audioslave - Cochise


Well I been watchin'

go and save yourself
take it out on me

and i'll see you in the bottom
where you crawl
on my skin
and put the blame on me
so you don't feel a thing

go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me
go and save yourself
take it out on me yea

Non avrai altro Dio all'infuori di me,
spesso mi ha fatto pensare:
genti diverse venute dall'est
dicevan che in fondo era uguale.

Credevano a un altro diverso da te
e non mi hanno fatto del male.
Credevano a un altro diverso da te
e non mi hanno fatto del male.

Non nominare il nome di Dio,
non nominarlo invano.
Con un coltello piantato nel fianco
gridai la mia pena e il suo nome:

ma forse era stanco, forse troppo occupato,
e non ascolt

Culture Club - Victims


The victims we know so well
They shine in our eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dreams
And i keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you

We love and we never tell
What places our hearts in the wishing well
Love lead us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And i keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can i give them all to you

Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Feel like a child
On a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well

The victims we know so well
They shine in our eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dreams
And i keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you

Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well

Eerie whispers trapped beneath my pillow
Won't let me sleep, your memories

I know you're in this room, I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in-between where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see

I know the moments near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die

It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see

It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see

Foo Fighters - The Pretender



Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark and so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready
I'm finished making sense
Done bleeding ignorance at home defense

Spinning and spinning deeper
The wheel is spinning me
It's never ending
Never ending
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale
Oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
Temporary
Temporary
Same old story

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirroring your stare
I'm what's left
I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that took you down
Bring you to your knees

So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend

What if I say I'm not like the others
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender

So who are you
Yeah who are you
Yeah who are you

Piramidi di Luna - Vallesi


Dov'è la nostra infanzia
il cielo del quartiere
la banda degli amici...

il nonno per la stanza
con le sue cantilene
che bisognava fare sacrifici...

Dov'è la strada
e quando torna mamma
il babbo da lavorare
lo so mi devo mettere gli occhiali ...

Dov'è la scuola e tu seduto
nel mio banco ti senti male
ma dove sei volato senza ali
e dove tutto se ne va?

Dov'è la sigaretta
che si fumava già
le corse in bicicletta
la tua felicità
dov'è perché hai paura
del buio ed io lo so
piramidi di luna
per te io accenderò.

Dov'è la festa in casa
la voglia nei calzoni
l'amore al sole accoccolato..

E quel suo bacio dato di sorpresa
e tutti i dribbling fatti coi palloni
e l'acqua fredda ed io sudato e tu che muori

Dov'è la spiaggia e quanto manca ancora mamma
per arrivare al mare..
non vedo niente neanche con gli occhiali...

Sove sei tu che non avrai
nemmeno un padre da perdonare
nè questi giorni diventati amari
ma dove tutto se ne va?

Dov'è la tua racchetta
il nostro vecchio tram
le scale scese in fretta
la tua felicità
dov'è perché hai paura
del buio ed io lo so
piramidi di luna
per te io accenderò.

Dov'è nell'universo
C'è troppa oscurità
dov'è il mio amico perso
dov'è questo aldilà
dov'è perché ho paura
del buio e lui lo sa
piramidi di luna
per me lui accenderà!
