Will Young - Leave Right Now

sobota, sierpień 30th, 2008

Will Young/Eg White
I’m here, just like I saidÂ…
Though it’s breaking every rule I’ve ever made.
My racing heart is just the same;
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I’d love to say “I do”;
Give everything to you.
But I could never now be trueÂ…

[Chorus]
So I sayÂ…
I think I’d better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper.
I think I’d better leave right now;
Feeling weaker and weaker.
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper.
I think I’d better leave right now.

I’m here, so please explain
Why you’re opening up a healing wound again.
I’m a little more careful,
Perhaps it shows.
But if I lose the highs,
At least I’m spared the lows.

Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm?

[Chorus]
I wouldn’t know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you’ve got your smile back –
Like you say, you’re right on track
But you may never know why -
Once bitten, twice as shy.
If I’m proud, perhaps I should explain:
I couldn’t bear to lose you again.

[Chorus]
Yes, I will.
I think I’d better leave right now;
I’m feeling weaker and weaker.
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper…

I think I’d better leave right now.

Slick Rick - Hey Young World

sobota, sierpień 30th, 2008

Guess who’s back (3X)

Hey young world… the world is yours
Hey young world… the world is yours
Young world young world… the world is yours
Young wo ah huh huh huh urld

This rap here… it may cause concern it’s
Broad and deep… why don’t you listen and learn
Love mean happiness… that once was strong
But due to society… even that’s turned wrong
Times have changed… and it’s cool to look bummy
And be a dumb dummy and disrespect your mummy
Have you forgotten… who put you on this Earth?
Who brought you up right… and who loved you since your birth?
Reward is a brainwashed kid goin wild
Young little girls already have a child
Bad company… hey, now you’ve been framed
Your parents are hurting… hurting and ashamed
You’re ruining yourself… and your mommy can’t cope
Hey, little kids don’t follow these dopes
Here’s a rule for the non cool… your life, don’t drool
Don’t be a fool like those that don’t go to school
Get ahead… and accomplish things
You’ll see the wonder and the joy life brings
Don’t admire thieves… hey they don’t admire you
Their time’s limited, hardrocks too
So listen, be strong, scream whoopee-doo
Go for yours, cause dreams come true
And you’ll make your mommy proud… so proud of you too
And this is a message… that the Ruler Rick threw
And it’s true

“You know, you know what, you know what, you know what?
We like to party, like to party”
(repeat 3X)

Hey young world, the world is yours
Hey young world

“Yo peep this”

Hey Mr. Bigshot… hey, don’t you look fly?
But you don’t have a nickle… ohhhh, my my my
You’ve been fightin again and, you forgot why
Hey kid, walk straight, master your high

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…. because you make your family cry
And all jokes aside, are you in good health?
Hey little boy… now have you really checked yourself?
You’re a disgust, you know someone that I can’t trust, you’d
Steal mom’s welfare… and you’d run and buy some dust, and
Plus, a must so… bigshot you’re not
Your friends are talkin and I’m hearin that your girls are what?
You didn’t know? Go steal and rob
And while you’re at it… go get a suit for a j-awhh-ob
You see you’re actin like this urge is demandin
C’mon, wake up… have some understandin
Society’s a weak excuse for a man
It’s time for the brothers… rap is trying to take the stand
Believe it or not, the Lord still shines on you deep
Guides you… and he watched you as you grew, plus
Past the age of… a little child, that’s true
But folks your age don’t act like you do, so
So be mature… and put the point to a halt
And if you’re over eighteen… I wish you’d act like an adult
Don’t live in a world… of hate hate hate
Pull yourself together… and get yourself straight
Men don’t steal… hey, most don’t borrow
And if you smoke crack… your kids’ll smoke crack tomorrow
So be more mature… and kids do your chores
Make your own money… hey, be proud that’s yours
You know why, cause that’s a man… that’s brains no spite
Stayin out of trouble… when it comes in sight
And a man never loses a fight… in God’s sight
Cause righteous laws are overdue
And this is a message that the Ruler Rick threw
And it’s true

“You know, you know what, you know what, you know what?
We like to party, like to party”
(repeat 3X)

Hey young world, the world is yours
Hey young world…

“Yo peep this…
MC… Ricky… D…
The Grand Wizzard…
And his partner…
And his and his and his partner…
Say what?
La-Di! Da-Di! La-Di! Da-Di! (repeat 2X)
La-Di-Da-Di…”

Donnie Munro - When I Was Young

piątek, sierpień 29th, 2008

When I was young

Early in the morning, as I awake drowsily
On a May morning while I am in Ose
The cattle were lowing alongside each other
And the sun was rising on Leac an Stoir
A ray of sun shone on the mountainside
Speedily putting the dark of night under cover
And above me sang the lively cuckoo
Reminding me of when I was young.

Reminding me of the many things I have done
That leave me unhappy until I’ve reached the end of my story
Going to cheilidhs and weddings in the winter
With no light but a lit sod of peat
The lovely young people would be singing and dancing
But that time has now gone and the glen is sad

Andrew’s ruin, so full of nettles
Reminding me of when I was young.

As I strolled round each glen and stack
Where I was happy tending the cattle
With the lively youngsters of the stock of country people
Without vanity of guile and who are now in exile
The mossy banks and pastures are under heather and rushes
Where I often gathered the sheaves of corn
And if I could see people dwelling there
I would become joyous as when I was young.
