Sinead O'Connor - Reason With Me, live at St. Petersburg

Hello, you don't know me,
but I stole your laptop
and I took your TV.
I sold your granny's rosary
for 50 p.

And I even pulled a old hijack, said I had a hypodermic in me backpack, but I was only bluffing.

Chorus:
Oh so long I've been a junkie,
I ought to wrap it up and mind my monkeys. I really want to mend my ways, I'm gonna call that number one of these days.

I'm the one who sits in the backroom, I'm the one who doesn't know how to have fun.
I'm the one to smoke amiss all around me, 'cause I don't like no one around me.
'Cause if I love someone, I might lose someone; if I love someone, I might lose someone.

Chorus

I'm gonna reach a hand out to you, say you, would you pull me up, now could you?
I don't want to waste the life God gave me, and I don't think that it's too late to save me.

Reason with me, let's reason together...

on Bob Dylan's 70th birthday

"Love Sick"
I'm walkin' through streets that are dead
Walkin', walkin' with you in my head
My feet are so tired
My brain is so wired
And the clouds are weepin'.

Did I hear someone tell a lie?
Did I hear someone's distant cry?
I spoke like a child
You destroyed me with a smile
While I was sleepin'.

I'm sick of love that I'm in the thick of it
This kind of love, I'm so sick of it.

I see, I see lovers in the meadow
I see, I see silhouettes in the window
I'll watch them 'til they're gone
And they leave me hangin' on
To a shadow.

I'm sick of love, I hear the clock tick
This kind of love, ah, I'm love sick.

Sometimes the silence can be like thunder
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Could you ever be true
I think of you
And I wonder.

I'm sick of love, I wish I'd never met you
I'm sick of love, I'm tryin' to forget you.

Just don't know what to do
I'd give anything to
Be with you.

1BAC/2BAC MIKA RAIN with lyrics

Is it really necessary? Every single day
you're making me more ordinary in every possible way.

This ordinary mind is broken.You did it and you don't even know.
You're leaving me with words unspoken. You better get back 'cause I'm ready for...
                      (Chorus:)
More than this whatever it is Baby, I hate days like this.
Caught in a trap, I can't look back Baby, I hate days like this.
When it rain and rain and rain and rains (4 times)
More than this Baby, I hate days like this.

Trying to be ordinary. Was it me who was the fool?
Thought you found the man you wanted till you turn him into something new.

Well, even if our minds are broken There's something that I need you to know.
It's nothing like the life we wanted You better move on 'cause I ready for
(Chorus)

I'm not angry or telling you what to do. After all the years [Incomprehensible] you
Complaining for the things you said. When you used to hide away

(Chorus)

4ESO - Rufus Wainwright - Going To A Town

"Going To A Town" Rufus Wainwright

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced
I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down
I'm so tired of America

I'm gonna make it up for all of The Sunday Times
I'm gonna make it up for all of the nursery rhymes
They never really seem to want to tell the truth
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead

Tell me, do you really think you go to hell for having loved?
Tell me, enough of thinking everything that you've done is good
I really need to know, after soaking the body of Jesus Christ in blood
I'm so tired of America

I really need to know
I may just never see you again, or might as well
You took advantage of a world that loved you well
I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down
I'm so tired of you, America

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I've got a life to lead, America
I've got a life to lead
I got a soul to feed
I got a dream to heed
And that's all I need

Making my own way home, ain't gonna be alone
I'm going to a town
That has already been burnt down

ALL STUDENTS stand by me


oh yes, oh my darling, stand by me,
no matter who you are
no matter where you go in life
you going need
somebody to stand by you
no matter how much money you got
or the fame you've got
you going need 
somebody to stand by you...

When the night has come
when the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't shed one tear
Just as long as you people stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
