[taximan007]

Bayang magiliw
Perlas ng Silanganan,
Alab ng puso,
Sa dibdib mo'y buhay.

Lupang Hinirang,
Duyan ka ng magiting,
Sa manlulupig,
Di ka pasisiil.

Sa dagat at bundok,
Sa simoy at sa langit mong bughaw,
May dilag ang tula
At awit sa paglayang minamahal.
Ang kislap ng watawat mo'y
Tagumpay na nagniningning,
Ang bituin at araw niya
Kailan pa ma'y di magdidilim.
Lupa ng araw, ng luwalhati't pagsinta,
Buhay ay langit sa piling mo;
Aming ligaya, na pag may mang-aapi
Ang mamatay nang dahil sa iyo   

[booder]

ah   Beloved Country....good choice

[booder]

I'm standing hands in pockets
In a place that's damp and grey and famous
The air is sharp with accents
All announcing that 'they shouldn't blame us'
But a place that has its problems
Just took on another group

Thirty-eight in the Heysel, in one fell swoop.
Oh you can blame it on the fences, on the cops,
Or you can blame it on Juventus
They were truly continental
All those dirty pictures that you sent us
But in the cities desire to concur
How low must we stoop

To the slaughter of the innocence
In one fell swoop
To the slaughter of the innocence
In one fell swoop

Meanwhile back home in the studio
Are the clutch of bleeding hearts
Who season after season,
Wave the flag in foreign parts
But who scream for low and order
When their waving comes unstuck
With a message to the terraces
That they could not give a fuck

For the people of a city
Who have lost most, a return to Europe
And who are left to scratch a living
Out of nothing but a washed out ball
Now all they get is the receiver
And the latest super snoop
Who prejudice just got confirmed, in one fell swoop

In one fell swoop
In one fell swoop

[Newmanseye]

Awesome song, its a classic IMHO

Just a small town girl, livin in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
He took the midnight train goin anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin anything to roll the dice,
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

(chorus)

Dont stop believin
Hold on to the feelin
Streetlight people

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works it's way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied 'oh why ask me?'

And suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

...and you can do the same thing if you please

The little girl she said to me
"What are these things that I can see
Each night when I come home from school
When mama calls me in for tea?"
Oh every night a baby dies
And every night a mama cries
What makes those me do what they do
To make that person black and blue
Grandpa says they're happy now
They sit with God in paradise
With angel's wings and still somehow
It makes me feel
Like Ice
Tell me there's heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me that they're happy now
Papa tell me that it's so
So do I tell here that it's true
That there's place for me and you
Where hungry children smile and say
"We wouldn't have no other way"
That every painful crack of bones is a step along the way
Every wrong done is a game plan
To that great and joyful day
And I'm looking at the father and the son
And I'm looking at the mother and the daughter
And I'm watching them in tears of pain
And I'm watching them suffer
Don't tell that little girl
Tell me
Tell me there's heaven
Tell me that it's true
Tell me there's a reason
Why I'm seeing what I do
Tell me there's heaven
Where all those people go
Tell me that they're happy now
Papa tell me that it's so

Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.

But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.

Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded patched secret so tight.
Where do you get
That walk oh so lean?
Your shoes and your shirts
All just right.
But I'm one etc.

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even tanned look on my face.
Ill fitting clothes
I blend in the crowd,
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud.

But I'm one.

[booder]

One, two
One, two, three, four

People moving out
People moving in
Why, because of the color of their skin
Run, run, run but you sure can't hide

An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Vote for me and
I'll set you free
Rap on, brother, rap on

The only person talking about
"Love thy brother" is the preacher
And it seems
Nobody's interested in learning
But the teacher

Segregation, determination
Demonstration, intergration
Aggravation, humiliation
Obligation to our nation

Ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey

The sale of pills are
At an all time high
Young folks walking 'round
With their heads in the sky
The cities aflame
In the summertime, and oh
The beat goes on

Evolution, revolution,
Gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon
Kids growing up too soon

Politicians say more taxes
Will solve everything
And the band played on

So, around and around
And around we go
Where the world's headed
Nobody knows

Oh, great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion, oh yeah
That's what the world is today, hey

Fear in the air
Tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast
The Beatles new record's a gas

And the only safe place to live
Is on an Indian reservation
And the band played on

Eve of destruction
Tax deduction
City inspectors
Bill collectors

Mod clothes in demand
Population out of hand
Suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills

People all over the world
Are shouting "End the war"
And the band played on

Oh, great Googamooga
Can't you hear me talking to you
Just a ball of confusion
That's what the world is today, hey

Quality booder, love The Temptations, you've prompted me to dig out the old Motown vinyl.

[Snatiramas]

I'm sorry I tok your time
I am the poenm that doesn't Rhyme
So turn back the page I'll waste away

[kinboshi]

Under darkening thundering towering skies
We live through these painful days
Walking like strangers in streets of damnation
Under the enemy's gaze
Well we all create monsters, come back for their masters
The prices the Devil reclaims
It's funny I never thought I'd be the one who would change

Now above and beyond the roofs of our city
The sunset spreads silent and gold
And we passing the time not thinking about you
Lost in our own little world
Well the other night we put the radio on
When we ran out of things we could say
But it always play lovesongs when you're far away
Forget all the lies, forget all the trouble
Forget all the things that I've done
And please believe like I still believe
The best is yet to come, the truth is yet to come

So damn all the world, damn their demands
And all the things that they say
'Cause they always play lovesongs
When you're far away

[kinboshi]

This is our town, this is Friday night
Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best
Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, anyone.
Stare across the floor as they begin to dance
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again
We're better than them

Divided we were born, divided we live
Divided we fall, divided we die
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
We're better than them

With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town
With our fear and our weakness - just holding on
With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown
We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down

And we build the walls that we can hide behind
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride
Here in this town where the jealousies burn
We're watching you

'Cause truth is only what we need it to be
To bring us survival through each and every day
When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool
And what was she wearing and what did he say?
Who goes with who and what did they do?

We tell ourselves over and over again
We're better than them , we're not like them

[kinboshi]

How did they do this to you?
How did they do this to you?
Were you the weapon that they used
As they tore apart the family
Did they bring you here as they were passing through?
How did they do this to you?

And now you don't want to go home
And now you say that you never will go home
Take a tram across the city
Past the places where your brother died
Of the comfort for the girls who work alone
And I can't tell you that you're not alone

In the cities of the far north, the skies are cold and clear
The loneliness is aching
And after all this time and after all these words
Your hands are still shaking

Why did they do this to you?
Why did they do this to you?
Were they cut off from their past?
Did they try to kill the future?
Do we all forget the things that we once knew?
Why did they do this to you?

Who was it that did this to you?
Who was it that did this to you?
Well if I could have my way
I would line them up against a wall
Do unto them as they have done to you
Who was it that did this?
Who was it that did this to you?

[Colchester Kev]

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

To me this old world is a wonderful place
And I'm just about the luckiest human in the whole human race
I've got no silver and I've got no gold
Just a whole lot of happiness in my soul

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness to me is an ocean tide
Or a sunset fading on a mountain side
Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above
When I'm in the arms of the one I love

Happiness is a field of grain
Lifting its face to the falling rain
I can see it in the sunshine, I breathe it in the rain
Happiness everywhere

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

A wise old man told me one time
That happiness is nothing but a frame of mind
I hope when you go to measuring my success
That you don't count my money count my happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

Happiness, happiness, the greatest gift that I posses
I thank the Lord I've been blessed
With more than my share of happiness
