In the days of my youth
I was told what it was to be a man
Now I’ve reached the age
I’ve tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to do the same old jam
Good times, bad times
You know I had my share
When my woman left home
With a brown eyed man
Well, I still don’t seem to care…

THE CRANBERRIES
Lying in my bed again
And I cry ‘cause you’re not here
Crying in my head again
And I know that it’s not clear
Put your hands, put your hands
Inside my face and see that it’s just you
But it’s bad and it’s mad
And it’s making me sad
Because I can’t be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Baby, I can’t be with you
Thinking back on how things were
And on how we loved so well
I wanted to be the mother of your child
And now it’s just farewell
Put your hands in my hands
And come with me
We’ll find another end
And my head, and my head
On anyone’s shoulder
‘Cause I can’t be with you
Be with you, be with you…

Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same?
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
‘Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in heaven
Would you hold my hand?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand?
If I saw you in heaven
I’ll find my way
Through night and day
‘Cause I know I just can’t stay
Here in heaven
Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
Beyond the door
There’s peace, I’m sure
And I know there’ll be no more
Tears in heaven
Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven
Would you be the same?
If I saw you in heaven…

I don’t want you
To come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don’t know how strong
My weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
Cause when you said it over with him
I want to believe it’s true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I’m gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
When the one you love’s
In love with someone else
Don’t you know it’s torture
I mean it’s a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I won’t lose control
One look in your blue eyes
And suddenly my heart can’t tell you no
I don’t want you
To call me up no more
Saying you need me
You’re crazy if you think
Just half your love
Could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way
There’s only one solution I know
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me…

When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
So she ran away in her sleep
Dreamed of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise, para-para-paradise
Every time she closed her eyes
When she was just a girl she expected the world
But it flew away from her reach
And the bullets catch in her teeth
Life goes on, it gets so heavy
The wheel breaks the butterfly
Every tear a waterfall
In the night the stormy night she’ll close her eyes
In the night the stormy night away she’d fly
Dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
She’d dream of para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
Sing, la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
And so lying underneath those stormy skies
She’d say, “oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the sun must set to rise”
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise
Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh, oh
This could be para-para-paradise
Para-para-paradise
This could be para-para-paradise

Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I looked ‘round
And I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My mind raced
And I thought, what could I do? (Thunder)
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you (thunder)
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You’ve been
Thunderstruck
Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah, Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again, please?
Yeah, them ladies were too kind
You’ve been
Thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thunderstruck
Ooh, thunderstruck, yeah…

And so the story begins
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself, “Whoops, I’ve got a lot of money”
Caught in a rat race terminally
I’m a professional cynic, but my heart’s not in it
I’m payin’ the price of livin’ life at the limit
Caught up in the century’s anxiety
Yes, it preys on him (preys on him)
He’s gettin’ thin (getting thin)
Try the simple life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watchin’ afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh it’s like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
He’s got morning glory and that’s a different story
Everything’s goin’ jackanory
Touched with his own mortality
He’s reading Balzac, and knocking back Prozac
It’s a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland
Oh it’s the century’s remedy
For the faint at heart (faint at heart)
A new start (a new start)
Try the simple life…

GREEN DAY
Don’t wanna be an American idiot!
Don’t want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America!
Alright!
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue
England!
Well, maybe I’m the faggot America
I’m not a part of a redneck agenda(alright!)
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Alright!
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn’t meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We’re not the ones who’re meant to follow
For that’s enough to argue…

RUSH
He’s a rebel and a runner
He’s a signal turning green
He’s a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine
He’s got a problem with his poisons
But you know he’ll find a cure
He’s cleaning up the systems
To keep his nature pure
Learning to match the beat of the old-world man
Learning to catch the heat of the third-world man
He’s got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
He’s old enough to know what’s right
And young enough not to choose it
He’s noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it
He’s a new-world man
He’s a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
He’s a writer and ranger and a young boy bearing arms
He’s got a problem with his powers
His weapons on patrol
He’s got to walk a fine line
And keep his self-control…

Fame (fame) makes a man take things over
Fame (fame) lets him lose hard to swallow
Fame (fame) puts you there where things are hollow
Fame (fame)
Fame not your brain it’s just the flame
That puts your change to keep you sane (sane)

Fame (fame) what you like is in the limo
Fame (fame) what you get is no tomorrow
Fame (fame) what you need you have to borrow

Fame nein it’s mine is just his line
To bind our time it drives you to crime (crime)

Could it be the best could it be?
