Brian Eno & David Byrne - Strange Overtones



Brian Eno & David Byrne - Strange Overtones

I wake up every morning
I hear your feet on the stairs
You’re in the next apartment
I hear you singing over there

This groove is out of fashion
These beats are twenty years old
I saw you lend a hand to
The ones out standing in the cold

Strange overtones in the music you are playing
I’ll harmonize
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough

Put on your socks and mittens
It’s getting colder tonight
A snowball in my kitchen
I watched it melt before my eyes

Your song still needs a chorus
I know you’ll figure it out
The rising of the verses
A change of key will let you out

Strange overtones though they’re slightly out of fashion
I’ll harmonize
I see the music in your face
That your words cannot explain

Strange overtones in the music you are playing
We’re not alone
It is strong and you are tough
But a heart is not enough

The Brooke - Allergic to Love



The Brooke - Allergic to Love

I'd like to talk to you
Like to let you know
How and when I follow you
Just what I'm thinking
And why and when I find you
From the corner of my eye
Seems to close right shut
I'm allergic to love

See it in the movies on TV
The TV in my room at night
The TV's always on all night
And it's all right

'Cause I'm alone when I'm not following you in the mall
Watching the waves stall
Watching everything and all

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Arthur Russell - A Little Lost



Arthur Russell - A Little Lost

I'm a little lost
Without you
That could be an understatement
Now I hope I have paid the cost
To let a day go on by and not
Call on you

'Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
Now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

Out on the ocean surf
I'll have to pull myself together
Now it's harder I'm not on my turf
Just me and me and those big old waves
Rolling in

'Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
Now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

It's so unfinished
Our love affair
A voice in me
Is telling me to
Run away
I hope your feeling isn't diminished
I hope you need someone in your life
Someone like me

'Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
Now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

I'm a little lost
Without you
That could be an understatement
Now I hope I have paid the cost
To let a day go on by and not
Call on you

'Cause I'm so busy, so busy
Thinking about kissing you
Now I want to do that
Without entertaining another thought

Nice and Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow



Nice and Smooth - Sometimes I Rhyme Slow

Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick

Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
I'm sweeter and thicker than a chico stick
Here's an ice cream cone honey take a lick
I go to Bay Plaza and catch a flick
Wore my Timberland boots so I can stomp ticks
Scandalous get a whiff of this mist
Just like the Yar Boys now I'm blissed
I feel good per say good state of mind
Drive a red Sterling and the seats recline
I love it when a lady treats me kind
Go to Tavern on the Green, I have a glass of wine
He say, she say I heard it through the grapevine
No static, got an automatic
Too much of anything makes you an addict
Teasin, skeezing, all so pleasin'
Don't ask why, I got my own reasons
Smooth B Greg Nice Slick Nick click
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick...

Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick

Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
I was on 125 and Saint Nick
Waiting on a cab, standing in the rain
Under my heart three clouds of pain
She got the best of me
What was her destiny?
Maybe I should lick her with my nine millime...ter
My mind is in a blur
Cause you could never pay me to think this would occur
Me and this girl Jane Doe was living together
We were inseparable, no one could sever
At least that's what I thought
But later I fought with her substance
And almost ended up in Supreme Court
When I was on the road doing shows getting ends
She was in my benz getting sniffy with her friends
And even when she crashed my whip I didn't flip
My man Slick Nick said Smooth you're starting to slip
Time went on I started noticing weight loss
Then I had to ask her was she riding the white horse
At first she said no, then she said yo Smooth I'm sorry
But I keep having visions of snow
I need blow
And I said woah little hottie
I'm not DeLorian, Gambino or Gotti
I don't deal coke, and furthermore you're making me broke
I'll put you in a rehab and I won't tell your folks
And what do you know
In 18 months she came home and I let her back in
And now she's sniffing again...

Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick
Sometimes I rhyme slow sometimes I rhyme quick

Nine Inch Nails - Wish



Nine Inch Nails - Wish

This is the first day of my last days
I built it up now I take it apart
Climbed up real high
Now fall down real far

No need for me to stay
The last thing left I just threw it away
I put my faith in God and my trust in you
Now there's nothing more fucked up I could do

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real
In this world full of you

I'm the one without a soul
I'm the one with this big fucking hole
No new tale to tell
Twenty-six years on my way to hell
Gotta listen to your big time, hard line, bad luck fist fuck
Don't think you're having all the fun
You know me I hate everyone

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real
In this world full of you

I want to but I can't turn back
But I want to, but I can't turn back

Wish there was something real
Wish there was something true
Wish there was something real
In this world full of you

Black Milk - Losing Out featuring Royce Da 5'9"



Black Milk - Losing Out featuring Royce Da 5'9"

Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong

Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right

Don't think about losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's...

Let's talk about who's the most underestimated
Plus underrated city in this hip-hop game
Let's talk about I don't know if these industry mofos overlook us
'Cause they might be afraid
They know if we get the spot like that
You might not get your spotlight back for a couple decades
Let's talk about auburn, a-burn now it's Detroit's turn
Like Berry Gordy came back
Don't think about comparing us to another metropolitan area
Or anywhere on this globe
Let's talk about us breaking barriers spitting sick as malaria
Spitting you not even spitting a cold
Let's talk about how they make the masses attracted to the wack
Like the magnet it a sad mission
Just talking about how I mastered these massive lyrics advanced
Like you in the class with a mathematician
Just think about

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

We beat up beats like this all the time
And you got a few more minutes of abuse
My nigga Royce where you at
Right here my nigga

Let's talk about I got more cases in a motherfuckin' AR clip
Than they got on our mayor
Let's talk about if from the D and you don't fuck with hex
Trick a leave, then you probably a square
Let's talk about the metropolitan area venereal spitter
Still Proof's burial bitter - poof
Talk about me, I'm a be on your ass
Trouble sales I'm a make I to the double L
Don't think about tussling with a head-buster
Who got more muscle than Cool J double L
You get popped like that, take off your whole top like back
Nobody what the hell
Let's talk about making niggas hard earned money always
Putting money on heads like I'm paying their barber
Talking about cotton mouth hangover Range Rover 750
When I hit the streets game over, nigga I ain't never losing out

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

Let's talk about the best or worst started from birth
With the gift and the curse now I'm spitting the verse
Just to talk about whenever I'm spitting the verse feels
Like my words is splitting the earth in two
God I'm talking about fools that rap dude that manages to soul clap
Who when messes the boom-bap-boom
Like --- with the crack moves in the street
Niggas pull heat longer than Shaq's shoes
Don't think about bringing out the niners 'cuz we about clean 'em out
Phone calls could lead to a red shirt wringing out
Gun shots, tech pert, expert leaning out the window
Bringing my inner demon out
Talking about how we got it mastered, the fact that whenever
Me and Black do a track it's a classic
Talking about my life nigga, no sound real or rider
With the four pound thriller like Mike - out

...Losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one who's losing out
I'm the one...

Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's been going on
Let's talk about me for a minute
Well how do you think
I feel about what's gone wrong

Let's talk about you and your problems
All that I seem to do is spend the night
Just talking 'bout you and your problems
No matter what I say I can't get it right

Marnie Stern - Ruler



Marnie Stern - Ruler

I have not slept for nights.
I have money - want to show a good time.
That is right, nothing can hold me down.
I'll drag your body into the wild west.
But we will get out alive, this much I know.

Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...

Grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Is there no way out of the mind?
There are things to find,
Chaos is a friend of mine.
Grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Is there no way out of the mind?
There are things to find,
Chaos is a friend of mine.

It takes pressure to make a diamond out of coal.
Staring through clothes, I can see hearts where I go.
What I need now is a gut feeling to let me know.
What I need now is a gut feeling to let me know.

Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...

Grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Is there no way out of the mind?
There are things to find,
Chaos is a friend of mine.
Grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Is there no way out of the mind?
There are things to find,
Chaos is a friend of mine.

I have not slept for nights.
I look back over my shoulder just once,
what I can't see is chase
I have not slept for nights.
I look back over my shoulder just once,
what I can't see is chasing me down
I'll drag your body into the civil war.
But we will get out alive - this much I know.

Ruler of the...
Ruler of the...

Grabbing victory out of the jaws of defeat.
Is there no way out of the mind?

The Gothic Archies - Shipwrecked



The Gothic Archies - Shipwrecked

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
Than to be cast away on an island with you
No, I can't think of anything more heavenly
Than to have you shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
Than to be cast away on an island with you

Far from distractions and matters of state
We can quit smoking and quickly lose weight
Sleeping till noon and then staying up late
At latitude zero and longitude eight

I am a gentleman; should you get hurt
I'll make a tourniquet out of my shirt
You needn't do much, just sit there and flirt
And if it looks drizzly, I'll build us a yurt

I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
And that's why I had to get rid of the crew
So I lopped off their heads
And dropped them into the sea
Just to have you
Shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I'd rather do
And that's why I decapitated the crew

How could I know there's no island nearby?
If I don't eat something soon, I'll just die
I wouldn't eat you, oh, never, not I!
So let's catch a shark and I'll make us a pie

What shall we use for bait? Lend me a hand
I'll sew it back on when we get to land
But if the shark takes it, that would be grand
(Because we won't starve to death, you understand)

I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do
To end up shipwrecked on an island with you
No, there's nobody I wouldn't kill, nobody
Just to have you
Shipwrecked on a tropical island with me

Shipwrecked with you
Shipwrecked with you
I can't think of a single thing I wouldn't do
To end up shipwrecked on an island with you
Again...
