LETTER TO A JOHN: ani difranco

Don't ask me why I'm crying I'm not going to tell you what's wrong I'm just gonna sit on your lap For five dollars a song I want you to pay me for my beauty I think it's only right 'cause I have been paying for it All of my life... I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make And I'm gonna go away... We barely have time to react in this world Let alone rehearse And I don't think I'm better than you But I don't think that I'm worse Women learn to be women And men learn to be men And I don't blame it all on you But I don't want to be your friend... I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make And I'm gonna go away... I was eleven years old He was as old as my dad And he took something from me I didn't even know that I had So don't tell me about decency Don't tell me about pride Just give me something for my trouble 'cause this time, it's not a free ride... I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make I'm gonna take the money I make And I'm gonna go away... Don't ask me why I'm crying I'm not going to tell you what's wrong I'm just gonna sit on your lap For five dollars a songs I want you to pay me for my beauty I think it's only right 'cause I have been paying for it All of my life... Now I just want to take And I'm just gonna take I'm gonna take And I'm gonna go away Songwriters: Ani Difranco Letter to a John lyrics © A Side Music LLC D/B/A Modern Works Music Publishing

SOMETHING JUST LIKE THIS: coldplay and the chainsmokers

I've been reading books of old The legends and the myths Achilles and his gold Hercules and his gifts Spiderman's control And Batman with his fists And clearly I don't see myself upon that list... But she said, where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts Some superhero Some fairytale bliss Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss.... I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo Oh, I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Doo-doo-doo Oh, I want something just like this I want something just like this... I've been reading books of old The legends and the myths The testaments they told The moon and its eclipse And Superman unrolls A suit before he lifts But I'm not the kind of person that it fits... She said, where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts Some superhero Some fairytale bliss Just something I can turn to Somebody I can miss... I want something just like this I want something just like this... Oh, I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo, Oh, I want something just like this Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo Doo-doo-doo... Where'd you wanna go? How much you wanna risk? I'm not looking for somebody With some superhuman gifts Some superhero Some fairytale bliss Just something I can turn to Somebody I can kiss I want something just like this... Oh, I want something just like this Oh, I want something just like this Oh, I want something just like this

HYPER-BALLAD: bjork

We live on a mountain Right at the top There's a beautiful view From the top of the mountain Every morning I walk towards the edge And throw little things off Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery Or whatever I find lying around It's become a habit A way to start the day... I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you... I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you... It's real early morning No-one is awake I'm back at my cliff Still throwing things off I listen to the sounds they make On their way down I follow with my eyes 'til they crash Imagine what my body would sound like Slamming against those rocks When it lands Will my eyes Be closed or open? I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you... I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you... I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you... Safe up (here with you)...
