Argentina
Argentina
i/ˌɑrdʒənˈtiːnə/, officially the Argentine Republic (Spanish: República Argentina [reˈpuβlika aɾxenˈtina]), is a country in South America, the continent's second largest by land area, after Brazil. It is constituted as a federation of 23 provinces and an autonomous city, Buenos Aires. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by land area and the largest among Spanish-speaking nations.
Argentina's continental area is between the Andes mountain range in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. It borders Paraguay and Bolivia to the north, Brazil and Uruguay to the northeast, and Chile to the west and south. Argentine claims over Antarctica, as well as overlapping claims made by Chile and the United Kingdom, are suspended by the Antarctic Treaty of 1961. Argentina also claims the Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are administered by the United Kingdom as British Overseas Territories.
A recognised middle power, Argentina is Latin America's third-largest economy, with a "very high" rating on the Human development index. Within Latin America, Argentina has the fifth highest nominal GDP per capita and the highest in purchasing power terms. Analysts have argued that the country has a "foundation for future growth due to its market size, levels of foreign direct investment, and percentage of high-tech exports as share of total manufactured goods", and it is classed by investors as middle emerging economy. Argentina is a founding member of the United Nations, Mercosur, the Union of South American Nations, the Organization of Ibero-American States, the World Bank Group and the World Trade Organization, and is one of the G-15 and G-20 major economies.

Barking
Coordinates: 51°32′N 0°05′E / 51.54°N 0.08°E / 51.54; 0.08
Barking is a suburban town in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, in East London, England. A retail and commercial centre situated in the west of the borough, it lies 9.1 miles (14.6 km) east of Charing Cross. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London. Barking is an area of regeneration with two main centres of activity, Barking Town Centre and Barking Riverside.
Its name came from Anglo-Saxon Berecingas, meaning either "the settlement of the followers or descendants of a man called Bereca" or "the settlement by the birch trees".
"Barking", in English slang, is short for "barking mad". Barking is sometimes cited as the origin of the phrase. This is attributed to the alleged existence of a medieval insane asylum attached to Barking Abbey. However, the phrase is not medieval, and first appeared only in the 20th century. A more likely derivation is from comparing an insane person to a mad dog.

Berlin
Berlin (
/bɜrˈlɪn/; German pronunciation: [bɛɐ̯ˈliːn] (
listen)) is the capital city of Germany and one of the 16 states of Germany. With a population of 3.5 million people, Berlin is Germany's largest city and is the second most populous city proper and the eighth most populous urban area in the European Union. Located in northeastern Germany, it is the center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has 5.9 million residents from over 190 nations. Located in the European Plains, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. Around one third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers and lakes.
First documented in the 13th century, Berlin was the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and the Third Reich (1933–1945).Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II, the city became divided into East Berlin—the capital of East Germany—and West Berlin, a West German exclave surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989). Following German reunification in 1990, the city regained its status as the capital of Germany, hosting 147 foreign embassies.

Bolivia
Coordinates: 16°42′43″S 64°39′58″W / 16.712°S 64.666°W / -16.712; -64.666 Bolivia (i/bəˈlɪviə/, Spanish: [boliˈβja]) officially known as Plurinational State of Bolivia (Spanish: Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, Quechua: Bulivya Mamallaqta, Aymara: Wuliwya Suyu), is a landlocked country in central South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, Paraguay and Argentina to the south, Chile to the southwest, and Peru to the west.
Prior to European colonization, the Andean region of Bolivia was a part of the Inca Empire – the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. During most of the Spanish colonial period, this territory was called Upper Peru and was under the administration of the Viceroyalty of Peru, which included most of Spain's South American colonies. After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the Republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on 6 August 1825. Bolivia has struggled through periods of political instability, dictatorships and economic woes.

Brazil
Brazili/brəˈzɪl/ (Portuguese: Brasil, IPA: [bɾaˈziw]), officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)), is the largest country in South America. It is the world's fifth largest country, both by geographical area and by population with over 192 million people. It is the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas and the largest lusophone country in the world.
Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of 7,491 km (4,655 mi). It is bordered on the north by Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French overseas region of French Guiana; on the northwest by Colombia; on the west by Bolivia and Peru; on the southwest by Argentina and Paraguay and on the south by Uruguay. Numerous archipelagos form part of Brazilian territory, such as Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Saint Peter and Paul Rocks, and Trindade and Martim Vaz. It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile.
Brazil was a colony of Portugal from the landing of Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500 until 1815, when it was elevated to the rank of kingdom and the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves was formed. The colonial bond was in fact broken in 1808, when the capital of the Portuguese colonial empire was transferred from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, after Napoleon invaded Portugal.Independence was achieved in 1822 with the formation of the Empire of Brazil, a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system. The country became a presidential republic in 1889, when a military coup d'état proclaimed the Republic, although the bicameral legislature, now called Congress, dates back to the ratification of the first constitution in 1824. Its current Constitution, formulated in 1988, defines Brazil as a Federal Republic. The Federation is formed by the union of the Federal District, the 26 States, and the 5,564 Municipalities.

British Empire
The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. By 1922 the British Empire held sway over about 458 million people, one-fifth of the world's population at the time, and covered more than 33,700,000 km2 (13,012,000 sq mi), almost a quarter of the Earth's total land area. As a result, its political, linguistic and cultural legacy is widespread. At the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous territories.
During the Age of Discovery in the 15th and 16th centuries, Portugal and Spain pioneered European exploration of the globe, and in the process established large overseas empires. Envious of the great wealth these empires generated, England, France and the Netherlands began to establish colonies and trade networks of their own in the Americas and Asia. A series of wars in the 17th and 18th centuries with the Netherlands and France left England (and then, following union between England and Scotland in 1707, Great Britain) the dominant colonial power in North America and India. The loss of the Thirteen Colonies in North America in 1783 after a war of independence deprived Britain of some of its oldest and most populous colonies.

Casa Rosada
La Casa Rosada (English: The Pink House). The official executive mansion & office of the President of Argentina(or, the "Presidency of the Argentine Nation," as the office is known officially and legally). The palacial mansion is known officially as 'Casa de Gobierno', which means "House of Government"(or, "Government House") in English. Normally, the President normally lives at the Quinta de Olivos, the official residence of the President of Argentina, which is located in Olivos, Buenos Aires Province. The characteristic color of the Casa Rosada is baby pink, and is considered one of the most emblematic buildings in Buenos Aires. The Casa Rosada also has a museum, which contains objects relating to former presidents of Argentina. The Casa Rosada has been declared a National Historic Monument of Argentina.
The Casa Rosada sits at the eastern end of the Plaza de Mayo, a large square which since the 1580 foundation of Buenos Aires has been surrounded by many of the most important political institutions of the city and of Argentina. The site, originally at the shoreline of the Río de la Plata, was first occupied by the "Fort of Juan Baltazar of Austria," a structure built on the orders of the founder of Buenos Aires, Captain Juan de Garay, in 1594. Its 1713 replacement by a masonry structure (the "Castle of San Miguel") complete with turrets made the spot the effective nerve center of colonial government. Following independence, President Bernardino Rivadavia had a Neoclassical portico built at the entrance in 1825, and the building remained unchanged until, in 1857, President Justo José de Urquiza ordered the fort demolished in favor of a new customs building. Under the direction of British Argentine architect Edward Taylor, the Italianate structure functioned as Buenos Aires' largest building from 1859 until the 1890s.

Ecuador
Ecuador (i/ˈɛkwədɔr/ E-kwə-dawr), officially the Republic of Ecuador (Spanish: República del Ecuador [reˈpuβlika ðel ekwaˈðor], which literally translates to the "Republic of the Equator") is a representative democratic republic in South America, bordered by Colombia on the north, Peru on the east and south, and by the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is one of only two countries in South America, (along with Chile), that do not have a border with Brazil. The country also includes the Galápagos Islands in the Pacific, about 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) west of the mainland.
The main spoken language in Ecuador is Spanish. Ecuador straddles the equator, from which it takes its name, and has an area of 275,830 km2 (106,500 sq mi). Its capital city is Quito, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in the 1970s for having the best preserved and least altered historic center in Latin America. The country's largest city is Guayaquil. The historic center of Cuenca, the third largest city in the country, was also declared a World Heritage Site in 1999, for being an outstanding example of a planned inland Spanish style colonial city in the Americas. Ecuador is also home—despite its size—to a great variety of species, many of them endemic, like those of the Galápagos islands. This species diversity makes Ecuador one of the 17 megadiverse countries in the world. The new constitution of 2008 is the first in the world to recognize legally enforceable Rights of Nature, or ecosystem rights.

France
France (Englishi/ˈfræns/ FRANSS or /ˈfrɑːns/ FRAHNSS; French: [fʁɑ̃s] ( listen)), officially the French Republic (French: République française [ʁepyblik fʁɑ̃sɛz]), is a unitary semi-presidential republic in Western Europe with several overseas territories and islands located on other continents and in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic oceans. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. It is often referred to as l’Hexagone ("The Hexagon") because of the geometric shape of its territory. It is the largest western European country and it possesses the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world, covering 11,035,000 km2 (4,260,000 sq mi), just behind that of the United States (11,351,000 km2 / 4,383,000 sq mi).
Over the past 500 years, France has been a major power with strong cultural, economic, military and political influence in Europe and around the world. During the 17th and 18th centuries, France colonised great parts of North America and Southeast Asia; during the 19th and early 20th centuries, France built the second largest colonial empire of the time, including large portions of North, West and Central Africa, Southeast Asia, and many Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

Ireland
Coordinates: 53°20′N 08°00′W / 53.333°N 8°W / 53.333; -8
Ireland (pronounced [ˈaɪrlənd] ( listen); Irish: Éire [ˈeːɾʲə] ( listen); Ulster Scots: Airlann or Airlan) is an island to the northwest of continental Europe. It is the third-largest island in Europe and the twentieth-largest island on Earth. To its east is the larger island of Great Britain, from which it is separated by the Irish Sea.
Politically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland, which covers just under five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom, which covers the remainder and is located in the northeast of the island. The population of Ireland is approximately 6.4 million. Just under 4.6 million live in the Republic of Ireland and just under 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.
Relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain epitomise Ireland's geography with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable oceanic climate, which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the 17th century. Today, it is one of the most deforested areas in Europe. There are twenty-six extant mammal species native to Ireland.

Italy
Italyi/ˈɪtəli/ (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic or the Republic of Italy (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.
Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of Maritime republics and the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.

Japan
Japan
i/dʒəˈpæn/ (Japanese: 日本 Nihon or Nippon; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, literally the State of Japan) is an island nation in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The characters that make up Japan's name mean "sun-origin", which is why Japan is sometimes referred to as the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is an archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest islands are Honshū, Hokkaidō, Kyūshū and Shikoku, together accounting for ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan has the world's tenth-largest population, with over 127 million people. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes the de facto capital city of Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the largest metropolitan area in the world, with over 30 million residents.
Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Japan as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Japan is in Chinese history texts from the 1st century AD. Influence from other nations followed by long periods of isolation has characterized Japan's history. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War and World War I allowed Japan to expand its empire during a period of increasing militarism. The Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937 expanded into part of World War II in 1941, which came to an end in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Since adopting its revised constitution in 1947, Japan has maintained a unitary constitutional monarchy with an emperor and an elected parliament called the Diet.

Nazi Germany
The Third Reich, also Nazi Germany, is the common name for Germany when it was a totalitarian state ruled by Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). On 30 January 1933 Hitler became chancellor of Germany, quickly eliminating all opposition to rule as sole leader. The state idolized Hitler as its Führer ("leader"), centralizing all power in his hands. Historians have emphasized the hypnotic effect of his rhetoric on large audiences, and of his eyes in small groups. Kessel writes, "Overwhelmingly...Germans speak with mystification of Hitler's 'hypnotic' appeal..." Under the "leader principle", the Führer's word was above all other laws. Top officials reported to Hitler and followed his policies, but they had considerable autonomy. The government was not a coordinated, cooperating body, but rather a collection of factions struggling to amass power and curry favor with the Führer. In the midst of the Great Depression, the Nazi government restored prosperity and ended mass unemployment using heavy military spending and a mixed economy of free-market and central-planning practices. Extensive public works were undertaken, including the construction of the Autobahns. The return to prosperity gave the regime enormous popularity; the suppression of all opposition made Hitler's rule mostly unchallenged.

The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century and established a Viceroyalty, which included most of its South American colonies. After achieving independence in 1821, Peru has undergone periods of political unrest and fiscal crisis as well as periods of stability and economic upswing.
Peru is a representative democratic republic divided into 25 regions. Its geography varies from the arid plains of the Pacific coast to the peaks of the Andes Mountains and the tropical forests of the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country with a high Human Development Index score and a poverty level around 31%.

Portugal
Portugali/ˈpɔrtʃʉɡəl/ (Portuguese: Portugal, IPA: [puɾtuˈɣaɫ]), officially the Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: República Portuguesa) is a country situated in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula . Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the West and South and by Spain to the North and East. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are part of Portugal. The country is named after its second largest city, Porto, whose Latin name was Portus Cale.
The land within the borders of the current Portuguese Republic has been continuously settled since prehistoric times: occupied by Celts like the Gallaeci and the Lusitanians, integrated into the Roman Republic and later settled by Germanic peoples such as the Suebi, Swabians, Vandals and the Visigoths. In the 8th century most of the Iberian Peninsula was conquered by Moorish invaders professing Islam, which were later expelled by the Knights Templar under the Order of Christ. During the Christian Reconquista, Portugal established itself as an independent kingdom from León in 1139, claiming to be the oldest European nation state.

San Francisco
San Francisco (/ˌsæn frənˈsɪskoʊ/), officially the City and County of San Francisco, is the financial, cultural, and transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.6 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland. The only consolidated city-county in California, it encompasses a land area of about 46.9 square miles (121 km2) on the northern end of the San Francisco Peninsula, giving it a density of about 17,179 people per square mile (6,632 people per km2). It is the most densely settled large city (population greater than 200,000) in the state of California and the second-most densely populated large city in the United States after New York City. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the 13th most populous city in the United States, with a population of 805,235 as of the 2010 Census. The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont metropolitan area has a population of 4,335,391.
In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi a few miles away. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt, hosting the Panama-Pacific International Exposition nine years later. During World War II, San Francisco was the port of embarkation for service members shipping out to the Pacific Theater. After the war, the confluence of returning servicemen, massive immigration, liberalizing attitudes, and other factors led to the Summer of Love and the gay rights movement, cementing San Francisco as a center of liberal activism in the United States.

Tocantins River
The Tocantins is a river in Brazil, the central fluvial artery of the country. In the Tupi language, its name means "toucan's beak" (Tukã for "toucan" and Ti for "beak"). It runs from south to north for about 2,640 km. It is not really a branch of the Amazon River, although usually so considered, since its waters flow into the Atlantic Ocean alongside those of the Amazon. It flows through four Brazilian states (Goiás, Tocantins, Maranhão and Pará) and gives its name to one of Brazil's newest states, formed in 1988 from what was until then the northern portion of Goiás.
It rises in the mountainous district known as the Pireneus, west of the Federal District, but its western tributary, the Araguaia River, has its extreme southern headwaters on the slopes of the Serra dos Caiapós. The Araguaia flows 1,670 km before its confluence with the Tocantins, to which it is almost equal in volume. Besides its main tributary, the Rio das Mortes, the Araguaia has twenty smaller branches, offering many miles of canoe navigation. In finding its way to the lowlands, it breaks frequently into waterfalls and rapids, or winds violently through rocky gorges, until, at a point about 160 km above its junction with the Tocantins, it saws its way across a rocky dyke for 20 km in roaring cataracts.

Askar Akayev
Askar Akayevich Akayev (Аскар Акаевич Акаев) (born 10 November 1944 in Kyzyl-Bairak, Kirghiz SSR, Soviet Union) served as the President of Kyrgyzstan from 1990 until his overthrow in the March 2005 Tulip Revolution.
As late as 1993 political analysts saw Akayev as a "prodemocratic physicist."
Akayev was the youngest of five sons born into a family of collective farm workers, in the town of Kemin, 95 km east of Bishkek. He became a metalworker at a local factory in 1961. He subsequently moved to Leningrad, where he trained as a physicist and graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Precision Mechanics and Optics in 1967 with an honors degree in mathematics, engineering and computer science. He stayed at the institute until 1976, working as a senior researcher and teacher. In Leningrad he met and in 1970 married Mayram Akayeva with whom he now has two sons and two daughters. They returned to their native Kyrgyzstan in 1977, where he became a senior professor at the Frunze Polytechnic Institute. Some of his later cabinet members were former students and friends from his academic career.

Color theory
In the visual arts, color theory is a body of practical guidance to color mixing and the visual impacts of specific color combination. There are also definitions (or categories) of colors based on the color wheel: primary color, secondary color and tertiary color. Although color theory principles first appeared in the writings of Leone Battista Alberti (c.1435) and the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (c.1490), a tradition of "colory theory" began in the 18th century, initially within a partisan controversy around Isaac Newton's theory of color (Opticks, 1704) and the nature of so-called primary colors. From there it developed as an independent artistic tradition with only superficial reference to colorimetry and vision science.
The foundations of pre-20th-century color theory were built around "pure" or ideal colors, characterized by sensory experiences rather than attributes of the physical world. This has led to a number of inaccuracies in traditional color theory principles that are not always remedied in modern formulations.[citation needed]

Elvis Presley
Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was one of the most popular American singers of the 20th century. A cultural icon, he is widely known by the single name Elvis. He is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Presley moved to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family at the age of 13. He began his career there in 1954, working with Sun Records owner Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was the most important popularizer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country and rhythm and blues. RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for over two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number one hit. He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of network television appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him enormously popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender.

Louisa May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott (November 29, 1832 – March 6, 1888) was an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Raised by her transcendentalist parents, Abigail May Alcott and Amos Bronson Alcott in New England, she grew up among many of the well-known intellectuals of the day such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. Nevertheless, her family suffered severe financial difficulties and Alcott worked to help support the family from an early age. She began to receive critical success for her writing in the 1860s. Early in her career, she sometimes used the pen name A. M. Barnard.
Published in 1868, Little Women is set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts and is loosely based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters. The novel was very well received and is still a popular children's novel today. Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist. She never married and died in Boston.

Lucretius
Titus Lucretius Carus (ca. 99 BC – ca. 55 BC) was a Roman poet and philosopher. His only known work is the epic philosophical poem De rerum natura about the beliefs of Epicureanism, and which is translated into English as On the Nature of Things or "On the Nature of the Universe".
Virtually nothing is known about the life of Lucretius. Jerome tells how he was driven mad by a love potion and wrote his poetry between fits of insanity, eventually committing suicide in middle age; but modern scholarship suggests this account was likely an invention. The De rerum natura was a considerable influence on the Augustan poets, particularly Virgil (in his Aeneid and Georgics, and to a lesser extent in his Eclogues) and Horace. It virtually disappeared during the Middle Ages, but was rediscovered in a monastery in Germany in 1417, by Poggio Bracciolini, and played an important role both in the development of atomism (Lucretius was an important influence on Pierre Gassendi) and the efforts of various figures of the Enlightenment era to construct a new Christian humanism.

Meher Baba
Meher Baba (Devanagari: मेहेर बाबा, Urdu: مہر بابا), (February 25, 1894 – January 31, 1969), born Merwan Sheriar Irani, was an Indian mystic and spiritual master who declared publicly in 1954 that he was the Avatar of the age.
Merwan Sheriar Irani was born in 1894 and led a normal childhood, showing no particularly strong inclination toward spiritual matters. At the age of 19, a brief contact with the Muslim holy woman Hazrat Babajan began his seven-year process of spiritual transformation. Over the next months, he contacted four additional spiritual figures whom, along with Babajan, he called "the five Perfect Masters." He spent seven years with Upasni Maharaj, one of the masters, before beginning his public work. The name Meher Baba means "Compassionate Father" in Persian and was given to him by his first followers.
From 10 July 1925 to the end of his life, Meher Baba maintained silence, communicating by means of an alphabet board or by unique hand gestures. With his mandali (circle of disciples), he spent long periods in seclusion, during which time he often fasted. He also traveled widely, held public gatherings, and engaged in works of charity with lepers, the poor, and the mentally ill.

Nathaniel Hawthorne
Nathaniel Hawthorne (born Nathaniel Hathorne; July 4, 1804 – May 19, 1864) was an American novelist and short story writer.
Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in 1804 in the city of Salem, Massachusetts to Nathaniel Hathorne and the former Elizabeth Clarke Manning. His ancestors include John Hathorne, the only judge involved in the Salem witch trials who never repented of his actions. Nathaniel later added a "w" to make his name "Hawthorne" in order to hide this relation. He entered Bowdoin College in 1821, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in 1824, and graduated in 1825. Hawthorne anonymously published his first work, a novel titled Fanshawe, in 1828. He published several short stories in various periodicals which he collected in 1837 as Twice-Told Tales. The next year, he became engaged to Sophia Peabody. He worked at a Custom House and joined Brook Farm, a transcendentalist community, before marrying Peabody in 1842. The couple moved to The Old Manse in Concord, Massachusetts, later moving to Salem, the Berkshires, then to The Wayside in Concord. The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850, followed by a succession of other novels. A political appointment took Hawthorne and family to Europe before their return to The Wayside in 1860. Hawthorne died on May 19, 1864, and was survived by his wife and their three children.

Nick Drake
Nicholas Rodney "Nick" Drake (19 June 1948 – 25 November 1974) was an English singer-songwriter and musician who was known for his sombre guitar-based songs. He failed to find a wide audience during his lifetime but his work has gradually achieved wider notice and recognition. Drake signed to Island Records when he was 20 years old and released his debut album, Five Leaves Left, in 1969. By 1972, he had recorded two more albums—Bryter Layter and Pink Moon. Neither sold more than 5,000 copies on initial release. Drake's reluctance to perform live, or be interviewed, contributed to his lack of commercial success.
Drake suffered from depression and insomnia throughout his life and these topics were often reflected in his lyrics. On completion of his third album, 1972's Pink Moon, he withdrew from both live performance and recording, retreating to his parents' home in rural Warwickshire. There is no known footage of the adult Drake; he was only ever captured in still photographs and in home footage from his childhood. On 25 November 1974, Drake died from an overdose of amitriptyline, a prescribed antidepressant; he was 26 years old.

Pink Man
Pink Man (real name Michael Maxfield) is a local celebrity from the San Francisco Bay Area. He can be seen riding his unicycle around the cities of Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. He gets his name from the shocking pink unitard and cape he wears while he performs impromptu unicycle tricks in public places—spinning, engaging in sudden stops, riding down the street at high speeds, and carrying people on his back.
Maxfield was born and grew up in Leominster, Massachusetts, where he discovered the unicycle at age 13. He moved to San Francisco at age 19, and then to Oregon. While in Oregon, he started performing on his unicycle under the name Jester Max. When he moved back to Leominster years later, he found himself spending hours dancing on his unicycle, and pedaling around town, garnering a front page story in the Worcester Telegram. He moved back to Oregon, where he sought out a new unicycle persona; on a whim, he purchased a pink Lycra unitard costume from a dancewear catalog. The new outfit proved extremely popular, and an onlooker at the University of Oregon campus dubbed him "pink man."

Pinko
Pinko is a term for a person regarded as being sympathetic to communism, though not necessarily a Communist Party member.
The term has its origins in the notion that pink is a lighter shade of red, the color associated with communism. Thus pink could be thought of as a "lighter form of communism" promoted by supporters of socialism who were not, themselves, "card-carrying" communists.
The word pinko was coined by Time magazine in 1925 as a variant on the noun and adjective pink, which had been used along with parlor pink since the beginning of the 20th century to refer to those of leftish sympathies, usually with an implication of "effeteness". In the 1920s, for example, a Wall Street Journal editorial described supporters of the progressive politician Robert La Follette as “visionaries, ne’er do wells, parlor pinks, reds, hyphenates [Americans with divided allegiance], soft handed agriculturalists and working men who have never seen a shovel.”
Pinko and pinky were widely used during the Cold War to label individuals accused of supporting the Soviet Union, including many supporters of ex-vice president Henry Wallace's 1948 U.S. presidential campaign with the Progressive Party. The word was predominantly used in the United States, where opposition to Communism grew strong among the population, especially during the McCarthy era. It was also in common use in South Africa during the apartheid era. In his two presidential campaigns, Alabama governor George Wallace often railed at "the left-wing pinko press" and at "pseudo-pinko-intellectuals."

Tomboy
A tomboy is a girl who exhibits characteristics or behaviors considered typical of the gender role of a boy, including the wearing of typically masculine-oriented clothes and engaging in games and activities that are often physical in nature, and which are considered in many cultures to be the domain of boys.
In recent times, as the ubiquity of traditionally female clothing such as dresses, blouses, and skirts has declined among Western females, the distinction has become more and more one of behavior. A general increase in the popularity of women's sporting events (see Title IX) and other activities that were traditionally male-dominated is today broadening tolerance and lessening the impact of 'tomboy' as a pejorative term.
There is a perceived correlation between tomboys and lesbianism. While some tomboys later reveal a lesbian identity in their adolescent or adult years, behavior typical of boys but displayed by girls is not a true indicator of one's sexual orientation.
Throughout their history, tomboys have had to contend with the stigma of presumed lesbianism or the accusation of wanting to be male. Both assumptions were categorically refuted by twentieth-century psychology, which established the normality of the tomboy experience among girls of all identities. However, for many, the tomboy stage is the first manifestation of a gender-fluid life journey.

Some of her charting singles include "Crucify", "Silent All These Years", "God", "Cornflake Girl", "Caught a Lite Sneeze", "Professional Widow", "Spark", "1000 Oceans", and "A Sorta Fairytale", her most commercially successful single in the U.S. to date.
As of 2005, Amos had sold 12 million albums worldwide. She has been nominated for 8 Grammy Awards. Amos was also named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1996.
Amos was born in Newton, North Carolina. When she was two, her family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where she began to play the piano. By age five, she had begun composing instrumental pieces on piano and, while living in Rockville, Maryland, she won a full scholarship to the Preparatory Division of the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Her scholarship was discontinued at age 11 and she was asked to leave. Amos has asserted that she lost the scholarship because of her interest in rock and popular music, coupled with her dislike for reading from sheet music. In 1972, The Amos family moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, where her father, Reverend Edison Amos, became pastor of the Good Shepherd United Methodist church. At the age of 13 she began playing at gay bars and piano bars, chaperoned by her father.

William Salmon
William Salmon (1644–1713) was English empiric doctor, advertising himself as "Professor of Physick", was a writer of medical texts that savor to the modern eye of quackery.
He was born 2 June 1644 (inscription under a portrait in Ars Anatomica). Enemies asserted that his first education was from a charlatan with whom he travelled, and to whose stock-in-trade he succeeded. His travels extended to New England.
Salmon set up looking for patients near the Smithfield gate of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. He treated all diseases, sold special prescriptions of his own, as well as drugs in general, cast horoscopes, and professed alchemy. He moved to the Red Balls in Salisbury Court off Fleet Street. In 1684, after a short residence in George Yard, near Broken Wharf, Salmon moved to the Blue Balcony by the ditch side, near Holborn Bridge, where he continued to reside till after 1692. He used to attend the meetings of a new sect at Leathersellers' Hall.
Salmon accumulated a large library, had two microscopes, a set of Napier's bones, and other mathematical instruments, some arrows and curiosities which he brought from the West Indies, and Dutch paintings. He died in 1713. His portrait is prefixed to his edition of Diemerbroek, and to his ‘Ars Anatomica,’ which appeared posthumously in 1714. Several other engraved portraits are mentioned by Bromley, among them being one by Vandergucht.

Pink it's my new obsession
Yeah, pink it's not even a question,
Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
Pink is the love you discover
Pink as the bing on your cherry
Pink 'cause you are so very
Pink it's the color of passion
'Cause today it just goes with the fashion
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light, and
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
You could be my flamingo
'Cause pink is the new kinda lingo
Pink like a deco umbrella
It's kink - but you don't ever tell her
Pink it was love at first sight, and
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink gets me high as a kite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter what we do tonight
Yeah yeah YEAH
I want to be your lover
I wanna wrap you in rubber
As pink as the sheets that we lay on
'Cause pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Yeah pink it's like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think, I took too much
I'm cryin' here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I can't stay on your life support, there's a shortage in the switch
(Just like a pill)
I can't stay on your morphine, 'cuz its makin' me itch
(Just like a pill)
I said, I tried to call the nurse again but she's being a little bitch
(Just like a pill)
I think I'll get outta here, where I can
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
(Frustrated, frustrated fears)
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
(Frustrated fears)
And I swear you're just like a pill
(Just like a pill)
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
(Makin' me, makin' me ill)
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
(Oh you keep makin' me ill)
You keep makin' me ill
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
I conjure up the thought of being gone
But I'd probably even do that wrong
I try to think about which way
Would I be able to and would I be afraid
Cause oh I'm bleeding out inside
Oh I don't even mind (Yeah)
It's all your fault
You called me beautiful
You turned me out
And now I can't turn back
I hold my breath
Because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air
And it's not fair
Da da dada da dada da
Da dadadadadada da dadadadadada
I'm trying to figure out what else to say (What else could I say)
To make you turn around and come back this way (Would you just come back this way)
I feel like we could be really awesome together
So make up your mind cause it's now or never (oh)
It's all your fault
You called me beautiful
You turned me out
And now I can't turn back
I hold my breath
Because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air
And it's not fair
I would never pull the trigger
But I've cried wolf a thousand times
I wish you could
Feel as bad as I do
I have lost my mind
It's all your fault
You called me beautiful
You turned me out
And now I can't turn back
I hold (I hold) my breath (My breath)
Because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air (running out of air)
And it's not fair
(Oh yeah
It's all your fault)
I hold my breath
Because you were perfect
But I'm running out of air
Got your voicemail, can you call me at the hotel?
There's something that's weighting heavy on my heart
And heavy on my chest!
I'm the lone night, you're the morning
I annoy you, and you bore me
And it's hard enough to make it through a... zone of enemies
I... good time, will be just fine
Either way we need to be happy!
Chorus:
Tell me, is this thing still on?
How do I keep it true?
How do I keep you into me,
Into me without faking it too
What do we have to try,
When everything is too loose?
Cause it always is just me and you
But it's the hardest thing to do,
The hardest thing to do!
And I want you, to want me, like the first time you saw me
I know in ten years I'm betting my head is still young and dumb
It would be so hard to let go and replace you, I still love you
I just wanna find the thing that made me think this was the one!
I... good time, will be just fine
Either way we need to be happy!
Chorus: (x2)
Tell me, is this thing still on?
How do I keep it true?
How do I keep you into me,
Into me without faking too
What do we have to try
When everything is too loose
Cause it always is just me and you
But it's the hardest thing to do,
Ha, ha, ha, we're gonna rock and roll
Ra, ra, alright, I drink more than you
Party harder than you do
And my car's faster than yours too
P I N K, P I M P, I'm back again
I know y'all missed me
I'm so so sick, can't handle it
Yeah, I talk shit, just deal with it
My rims are 23 inch
And they're black on black no, they're not his
Diamonds all over my tees
You can try and try you can't beat me
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can
You know I'm rare, you stop and stare
You think I care, I don't
You talk real loud but you ain't saying nothing cool
I could fit your whole house in my swimming pool
My life's a fantasy
That you're not smart enough to even dream
My ice is makin' me freeze
You can try and try you can't beat me
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can, yeah
Uh, break it down
It's tough times out here
Ya know what I'm sayin' mmm, hmm
Yeah, I'm super thick
People say I'm much too chic
Come and kiss the ring
You just might learn a couple things
I'm trying to school you dog
Roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof
I'm your worst nightmare
Bring it we can take it there
What are you scared?
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
White knuckles and sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw, I've got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire, and they burn from all the tears
I've been crying, I've been crying, I've been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope, tryin' to hold, tryin' to hold,
But there's nothing to grasp so I let go
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (NO!)
Have you had a shit day? (NO!), we've had a shit day (NO!)
I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss.
I won't miss all of the fighting that we always did,
Take it in, I mean what I say when I say there is nothing left
No more sick whiskey dick, no more battles for me
You'll be calling a trick, 'cause you'll no longer sleep
I'll dress nice, I'll look good, I'll go dancing alone
I will laugh, I'll get drunk, I'll take somebody home
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (No!)
Have you had a shit day? (No!), we've had a shit day (No!)
I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss.
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
I will do what I please, anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe, I won't worry at all
You will pay for your sins, you'll be sorry my dear
All the lies, all the why's, will all be crystal clear
I think I've finally had enough, I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us (blow me one last kiss)
You think I'm just too serious, I think you're full of shit
My head is spinning so (blow me one last kiss)
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (No!)
Have you had a shit day? (No!), we've had a shit day (No!)
I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I've had enough of this, blow me one last kiss.
Na na na na - da da da da
Na na na na - da da da da
Blow me one last kiss.
Na na na na - da da da da
Na na na na - da da da da
Blow me one last kiss.
Just when it can't get worse, I've had a shit day (No!)
Have you had a shit day? (No!), we've had a shit day (No!)
I think that life's too short for this, I want back my ignorance and bliss
Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful and it's
Tearing me down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told God you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
About me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in WW3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise I'll be better
Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out
Can we be a family
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave
Daddy please stop yelling
I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around
My mama she loves you
No matter what she says is true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too!
I ran away today, ran from the noise
Ran away (ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy, growin' up in WW3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend, let's act like it
Comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays I don't want two addresses
I don't want a stepbrother anyway
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name!
Mama'll be nicer
I'll be so much better
I'll tell my brother
I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night
I hear my name
I hear the trash you're talking
In your sleep
The secrets that you're keeping
A chick, this smart
Did you really think that you could keep her in the dark?
Does she purr?
Does she make it hard?
Hard to speak
Does she dress the part?
I'm sure she'll take some getting used to
Darling, she won't ever be me
I felt the bite
Take a spit
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your senses
If you keep up the shit
Take the hit
Dig the grave
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
It doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
I'm gonna rage
Stay out really late
I'm gonna hang with all my friends you hate
I may try that threesome
Better late than never and
Better without you
This is your future as I see it
You will be homeless, old, and broken
She will have left you when she finds out who you are
You're nothing but an extra, and baby I'm the star
I felt the bite
Take a spit
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your senses
If you keep up the shit
Take the hit
Dig the grave
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
I suppose this is how the story goes, but
Ever since that door closed, I've been going (down, down, down, down)
The drain and the pain got me nauseous (down, down, down)
I should have been more cautious or clever
Whatever, you'll never find a dude with a better head game, and
You can take that both ways
You laughin’ like I'm playin’ wit your fingers up like oh ? (down, down, down, down)
Yes, you wouldn't have a threesome without me I pull a orgy (down, down, down)
And text you something incriminating pictures from my old days (old days)
I felt the bite
Take a spit
Suck the poison out of me
I'll make you beg
Make you come
To your senses
If you keep up the shit
Take the hit
Dig the grave
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
Gonna run
Gonna scream
Gonna crawl round on your knees
When you realize that no one's gonna measure up to me
Doesn't matter cause I'm over it now
This is how it goes down
This is how it goes now
Somebody done lied to you
Cause you're not such a big shot dude
Might wanna rethink it through
Coulda asked me, I woulda told you the truth
Somebody done lied you
Cause you're not such a big shot dude
Might wanna rethink it through
Am I sweating
Or are these tears on my face?
Should I be hungry?
I can't remember the last time that I ate
Call someone, I need a friend to talk me down
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
Does anyone see this?
Lucky me, I guess I'm the chosen one
Color and madness
First in line I put my money down
Some freedom is the tiniest cell in town
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
But one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
Some people find the beauty in all of this
I go straight to the dark side near this
If it's it bad is it always my fault?
Did somebody bring me down?
Did somebody bring me down?
Did somebody bring me down?
One foot wrong, I'm gonna fall
Put one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Put one foot wrong and I'm gonna fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
Just one foot wrong and I'm fall
Somebody gets it, somebody gets it
All the lights are on but I'm in the dark
Who's gonna find me? Who's gonna find me?
Just one foot wrong
You'll love me when I'm gone
Have to love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone
You'll have to love me when I'm gone, yeah
You'll have to love me when I'm gone
You used to hold the door for me
Now you can't wait to leave
You used to send me flowers
If you fucked up in my dreams
I used to make you laugh
With all the silly shit I did
But now you roll your eyes
And walk away and shake your head
When the spark has gone and the candles are out
And the song is done and there's no more sound
Whispers turn to yelling and I'm thinking
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
Always sentimental when
I think of how it was
When love was sweet and new
And we just couldn't get enough
The shower it reminds me
You'd undress me with your eyes
And now you never touch me
And you tell me that you're tired
You know I get so sad when it all goes bad
And all you think about is all the fun you had
And all those sorries ain't never gonna mean a thing, oh
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
We said some things that we can never take back
It's like a train wreck tryna hit the right track
We opened up the wine and we just let it breathe
But we shoulda drank it down while it was still sweet
It all goes bad eventually
Now do we stay together
'Cause we're scared to be alone?
We got so used to this abuse
It kind of feels like home
But my baby, I just really wanna know
How did we get so mean?
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Knowing that forever won't be
How do we just move on?
How do you feel in the morning
When it comes and everything's undone?
Is it 'cause we wanna be free?
Well that's not me
Normally I'm so strong
I just can't wake up on the floor
Like a thousand times before
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight
Alright sir, sure, I'll have another one, it's early
Three olives, shake it up, I like it dirty
Tequila for my friend, it makes her flirty
Trust me, I'm the instigator of underwear
Showing up here and there, uh, oh
(Oh, no)
I'm always on a mission from the get go
So what if it's only one o'clock in the afternoon?
It's never too soon to send out all the invitations
To the last night of your life
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying
Wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
You and you and you and you and you
And you and you and you and you and you
And you and you and you and you and you
Alright, man, calm down
I know your son, said he was at my house
He was the captain of the football team but I turned him out
He wasn't the first and he won't be the last
So tone it down, this happens all the time
I'm the story, the tale, the alibi
They wanna go home, I ask them, why?
It's daylight, not night
It might need a break from all the real life
(Get a life)
Gets to be too much sometimes
It's never too late to send out all the invitations
To the last night of your life
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying
Wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
You and you and you and you and you and you
(And you)
And you and you and you and you and you
(And you)
And you and you and you and you
I'm off to see the doctor
I hope she has a cure
I hope she makes me better
What does that even mean? We don't know
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying
Wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying
Wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy
I can't help it, I like to party
It's dramatic, it's electrifying
You can wind me up and watch me go
Where she stops nobody knows
A good excuse to be a bad influence on you
(And you)
You and you and you and you and you and you
(I'm a good excuse)
And you and you and you and you and you and you
(To be a bad influence on you)
Stupid girl
Stupid girls
Stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Want a paparazzi girl?
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Go to Fred Segal you'll find them there
Laughin' loud so all the little people stare
Lookin' for a daddy to pay for the champagne
Drop a name
What happened to the dream of a girl president?
She's dancin' in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of 2 or 3
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teenie weenie tees
Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Want a paparazzi girl?
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
The disease is growing, it's epidemic
I'm scared that there ain't a cure
The world believes it and I'm going crazy
I cannot take anymore
I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see
Disasters all around
(Disasters all around)
A world of despair
(A world of despair)
Their only concern
?Will it **** up my hair??
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Want a paparazzi girl?
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Do your thing, an' do your thing
Do your thing, an' do your thing
Do your thing, I like this
Like this, like this
Pretty ?will you **** me? girl
Silly ?I'm so lucky? girl
?Pull my hair, I'll **** it? girl
Stupid girl!
Pretty ?will you **** me? girl
Silly ?I'm so lucky? girl
?Pull my hair, I'll **** it? girl
Stupid girl!
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that
Stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
That guy will call me back
Want a paparazzi girl?
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that
I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Maybe if I act like that
Flippin' my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that
Stupid girls
Stupid girls
Stupid girls
I've got my things packed, my favorite pillow
Got my sleeping bag, climb out the window
All the pictures and pain, I've left behind
All the freedom and fame, I've gotta find
And I wonder, how long it will take them
To notice that I'm gone
And I wonder, how far it'll take me
To run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, this life makes no sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
Run away, it don't make any sense to me
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way, I'll meet you in hell
It's all these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
It's hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
I'll never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
Well, I'm too young to be taken seriously
But I'm too old to believe all this hypocrisy
And I wonder, how long it will take them to see my bed is made
And I wonder
If I was a mistake, I might have nowhere left to go
But I know that I cannot go home
These words are strapped inside my head
Tell me to run before I'm dead
Chase the rainbows in my mind
And I will try to stay alive
Maybe the world will know one day
Why won't you help me run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
I could sing for change on a Paris street
Be a red light dancer in New Orleans
I could start again to the family
I could change my name, come and go as I please
In the dead of night
You'll wonder where I've gone
Wasn't it you, wasn't it you
Wasn't it you that made me run away
I was just trying to be myself, have it your way I'll meet you in hell
All these secrets that I shouldn't tell, I've got to run away
Hypocritical of you, do as you say not as you do
Never be your perfect girl, I've got to run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
This life makes no sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me, run away
It don't make any sense to me
This life makes no sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
It don't make any sense to me
Daddy was a soldier
He taught me about freedom
Peace and all the great things that we
Take advantage of
Once I fed the homeless
I'll never forget
The look upon their faces
As I treated them with respect, and
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
Momma was a lunatic, yes
She liked to push my buttons
She said I wasn't good enough
But I guess I wasn't tryin'
Never liked school that much
(School that much)
They tried to teach me better
But I just wasn't hearin' it because I thought
I was already pretty clever, and
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
(At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
What do you expect from me?
What am I not giving you?
What could I do for you
To make me okay in your eyes?
This is my Vietnam
(This is my Vietnam)
I'm at war
(At war)
They keep on droppin' bombs
(Droppin' bombs)
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
I'm at war
Life keeps on droppin' bombs
And I keep score
This is my Vietnam
One night to you, lasted six weeks for me
Just a bitter little pill now, just to try to go to sleep
No more waking up to innocence, say hello to hesitance
To everyone I meet, thanks to you years ago
I guess I'll never know, what love means to me
But, oh, I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling
It's gonna take a long time to love, it's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to, keep on rolling like a stone
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long way to happy
Left my childhood behind, in a roll away bed
Everything was so damn simple, now I'm losing my head
Trying to cover up the damage and pad out all the bruises
To young to know I had it so it didn't hurt to lose it
Didn't hurt to lose it
No but oh, I'll keep on rolling down this road
But I've got a bad, bad feeling
It's gonna take a long time to love, it's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to, keep on rolling like a stone
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long way
Now I'm numb as hell and I can't feel a thing
But don't worry about regret or guilt 'cause I never knew your name
I just want to thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart
For all the sleepless nights and for tearing me apart, yeah, yeah
It's gonna take a long time to love, it's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to, keep on rolling like a stone
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long way
It's gonna take a long time to love, it's gonna take a lot to hold on
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long way to happy, yeah
Left in the pieces that you broke me into
Torn apart but now I've got to, keep on rolling like a stone
'Cause it's gonna be a long, long way to happy
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
There's always cracks
Crack of sunlight
Crack in the mirror on your lips
It's the moment of a sunset Friday
When our conversations twist
It's the fifth day of ice on a new tattoo
But the ice should be on our heads
We only spun the web to catch ourselves
So we weren't left for dead
And I was never looking for approval from anyone but you
And though this journey is over I'll go back if you ask me to
I'm not dead just floating
Right between the ink of your tattoo
In the belly of the beast we turned into
I'm not scared just changing
Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile
You're my crack of sunlight
You can do the math a thousand ways but you can't erase the facts
That others come and others go but you always come back
I'm a winter flower underground always thirsty for summer rain
And just like the change of seasons
I know you'll be back again
I'm not dead just floating
Underneath the ink of my tattoo
I've tried to hide my scars from you
I'm not scared just changing
Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile
You're my crack of sunlight oh
I'm not dead just yet
I'm not dead I'm just floating
Doesn't matter where I'm going
I'll find you
I'm not scared at all
Underneath the cuts and bruises
Finally gained what no one loses
I'll find you
I will find you
I'm not dead just floating
I'm not scared just changing
I'm goin' to California
To live in the summer sun
The streets are made of silver
I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philidelphia freedom
Well its not like you have heard, no, no, no
This city of brotherly love
Is full of pain and hurt
I'm goin' to California
To find my pot of gold
Corruption on every corner
Hustlers sellin' sweets
Baby is home cryin'
While her mom is on the streets
Everybody's dyin'
Have you heard the news today?
A woman in north Phili is mournin'
A bullet took another son away
I'm goin to California
I'm goin far, far, far away
Goin' to California, yes
To resurect my soul
The sun is always shinin', shinin'
Or atleast that's what I'm told
I'm goin' to California
There's a better life for me, yes
Goin' to California
I'll write and tell you what I see
I'm goin' to California
I'm goin' to California
To live in the summer sun
The streets are made of silver
I'm like a rabbit on the run
Philidelphia freedom
Well its not like you have heard, no, no, no
This city of brotherly love
Is full of pain and hurt
I'm goin' to California
To find my pot of gold
Corruption on every corner
Hustlers sellin' sweets
Baby is home cryin'
While her mom is on the streets
Everybody's dyin'
Have you heard the news today?
A woman in north Phili is mournin'
A bullet took another son away

There's a better life for me, yes
Goin' to California
I'll write and tell you what I see
I'm goin' to California
Somebody say a prayer for me.

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be abused
We just want to.....
Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
and it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breaking
As I sit up in my bed
I told god you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
about me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave
Daddy please stop yellin'
I can't stand the sound
Make mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around
My mama she loves you
No matter what she says it's true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too!
I ran away today, ran from the noise
Ran away (ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War 3
Never knowin' what love could be
But I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it did my family
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Mommy I'll do anything
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy please don't leave
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend,
and act like it Comes naturally
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
I don't want two addresses
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my mom to have to change her last name
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
Let's play pretend,

In our family portrait
We look pretty happy

Mom l'll be nicer
I'll be so much better
I'll tell my brother
I won't spill the milk at dinner
I'll be so much better
I'll do everything right
I'll be your little girl forever
I'll go to sleep at night
I am an opportunity and I knock so softly
Sometimes I get loud when I wish everybody'd just
get off me
So many playas you'd think I was a ball game
Its every man for themself, there are no
team mates
This life gets lonely when everybody wants
something
This might have been your fate
But they'll get their's eventually
And I hope I'm there
Surrounded by familiar faces without names
None of them know me or want to share my pain
And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade
away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in pain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades
away
They'll get their's eventually
And I hope I'm there
I drank your poison cuz you told me its wine
Shame on you if you fool once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
I didn't know the price
You'll get yours eventually
So what good am I to you if I can't be broken?
You'll get yours, yes you'll get yours
Can't keep me down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down
I said, you can't keep me down
You know, you can't keep me down
I said, you can't keep me down
Hey hey man, what's your problem?
I see you tryin' to hurt me bad
Don't know what you're up against
Maybe you should reconsider
Come up with another plan
'Cuz you know I'm not that kinda girl
That'll lay there and let you come first
You can push me out the window
(You can)
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your eighteen wheeler truck
And I won't give a
You can hang me like a slave
I'll go underground
(Go underground)
You can run over me with your eighteen wheeler but
(Ooh)
You can't keep me down, down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down
Can't keep me down, down, down
Can't keep me down, down
Aah ah ah
Hey hey girl, are you ready for today?
You got your shield and sword
'Cuz its time to play the games
You are beautiful
Even though you're not for sure
Don't let him pull you by the scar
You're gonna get your feelings hurt, yeah
You can push me out the window
(You can push me)
I'll just get back up

You can run over me with your eighteen wheeler truck

You can run over me with your eighteen wheeler but
You can't keep me down, down, down, down
(Everywhere that I go)
There's someone waitin' to chain me
(Everything that I say)
There's someone tryin' to short change me
(I am only this way)
Because of what you have made me
And I'm not gonna break
You can push me out the window
I'll just get back up
You can run over me with your eighteen wheeler truck
And I won't give a
Yea, yea, yea
You can hang me like a slave

Silly you, silly me
To letcha in and put a move on me
Yeah yeah yeah
Never once asked for love
Always took it for what it's worth, memories
See I dont wanna meet on a lonely street
Where the talk is cheap and the price is sweet
I'm not that girl, Im not that girl
And you dont wanna see the other side of me
So I'm gonna hit ya off and I'm gonna set ya free
Before you fall too deep, don't fall too deep
He don't know
I'm gonna be the one who's gonna let him go
Even if he wants to stay, I'll let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show
Ohhh...
He's all talk, think's he knows, how this game's supposed to go
For everyone
Still it seems, he can't see
Thinks he's just usin' me, usin' me
He don't know
Maybe if he wasn't such a gigalo, (a nasty hoe)
I would let him stay, instead I let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show
Ohhh...
He dont know
I'm gonna be the one who's gonna let him go, I let him go
Private show, oh no no no no
He don't know, I let him go, nasty hoe
Ohhh, pri-vate show, he don't know, he don't know
Let him go...even if he wants to stay I'll let him go
Cuz all he wants from me is a private show...oh oh oh
Is it love, or just a curse
Do you feel good when I hurt
I need your heart to open up
If this love's not real, then it's just my luck
Mommy help me, I need your help
This little boy, he took my love
And he says these things that make my body pump up
But then he runs leavin me un-done
And I don't understand
For sex he said he'd be my man
Daddy listen, I gave it up
I'm not your little girl
My cherry, and all the trust is missing
But please listen, what do I do
I know you wanna hurt him
But I like what he do, he's only doin what you used to
You never told me bout the birds and the bees
Or bout hide n' go seek or what he gets when he finds me
The biggest mistakes in the choices I make
Won't you help me decide, what's goin down in my mind
That thing you're puttin on me
Has got me so confused
Won't somebody help me, tell me what should I do
In my heart it feels so good, is it just a curse
When I saw you girl from across the room
You had your eyes on me
I had my eyes on you
we went to the bar
bought a zamboca
i gave you my number
You see that girl walk down that street,
you can see the way she is,
doing her thing, just let the girl fling,
coz she wont be good to you like i would.
So dont go for that girl
just let her go shes no morei dont
really no whats with her but shes no way

I know you go oh that girl

Chorus
VERSE 2:

Where they bang by law, slip your jack in your car
Oh and I’m Kelly and her name is Sherry
And she likes to sip yeagermister from her belly
We’ll show you if you wanna we can go hit the deli
Man, I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly
Huh, all pre-trick, a major erection
Before we go pull over at a 7-11
Protection is a must to survive and in ghetto heaven
You gotta wrap it up before you go and put your head in
We pulled up and jumped right in bed
While caressing my head they looked up and said
Chorus
That’s the way, mmkay mmkay
Naughty likes it, mmkay mmkay
VERSE 3:
What I wanna do you had to pick that question
Kiss it, lick it, extra friction, flex it
Love the kitty, tongue and tittie, till you sweat it
Toss you round my room like boom I’ll press it
I like, I like, back forth, heave ho
Round and round baby round we go
And I aint here to taste the poom poom for hours
I’m here to make your poom poom hours
In the shower, in the sauna, in the deli
Boom macavelly, ky jelly, *ss to belly
Get peace with it, slap it, slap it

I’m two steps behind it
Chorus

She's back on drugs again
Even though she knows it ain't right
She can't even call up her friends
And say "help me save my life"
She's so ashamed of herself that she's come full circle
Nobody understands what it's like to
Be this girl
So she disappeared, and she
Wasn't clear, and she
Didn't say where she was going
Save my life, won't you help me
Save my life, won't you help me
Save my life, won't you hear me
Save my life, won't you help me
She had the man of her dreams
And some success
And she was so happy, and looking well
It was this one dark night, that she
Slipped
And then the next morning that she
Felt like a piece of shit
So she's hanging out, and she's
With the crowd, and she's
Travelin' where the wind is blowing
And he's a real good guy and he
Wants to save her 'cause he's
More than been there all before
And she's so confused and his heart is breaking and he
I hide my pain like the rest of them
That's why I'm always laughing
I'm troubled, I'm brilliant and miserable too
That's why I am so funny
I swallow down all my fears
With a bottle made of silver
I've only been here for 27 years
But already my life is over
And I need to unwind, yes, and I
I need to unwind, yes, and I
Want all the time
To be loved, to unwind
My life is like a fairytale
That nobody believes in
I can't remember anything
Not the people, not the places I've been
Just one more day you can make it, babe
That's what I tell myself
And everything that I love in life
It is killing me, 'cause it's bad for my health
Somebody comfort me
S...southern comfort me
Somebody comfort me
123...
You follow every line, you wear your perfect patch and style
But you're like a satellite and you're driftin' through the sky
You can't make up your mind about this or that, or anything at all
So you go with the flow and hope to God that no one knows it
Everything you are, everything you say
Everything you do is not for you
Everything you feel, everything you know
You found it on your favorite TV show
And it's people like you that make me sick
I'm surrounded by you everywhere i look
You're telling everyone how different that you really are
But it's been said before, so maybe you're not special after all
If you put the same amount of effort into letting go
Just act yourself and you might like it, you never know
'Cause everything you want, everything you do
You try so hard to be everyone but you
Everywhere you turn, you just gotta learn
It's easier if you don't try so hard
And it's people like you that make me sick
I'm surrounded by you everywhere I look
Is there somewhere I can go to get away
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
You try too hard
You just try too hard
You try too hard
And it's people like us that make me sick
Im surrounded by it everywhere I look
Is there somewhere we can go to get away
Where there's truth and people mean just what they say
You try too hard
Well tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get out of here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Bought myself a quick, cheap ticket
I’m looking for a brand new scene
Gotta get the hell outta Hollwyood

But then again I don’t realy care
Tonight's the night I'm going to get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get out of here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Think it’s time to have some fun
But what am I gonna wear
And where are we gonna go
And who's gonna do my hair
Got these hot-*** boots
But ain't got nothin to do
Somebody better give me some gas money
We're sitting here like fools
Tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get outta here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again

Tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get outta here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Bought myself a quick, cheap ticket, lookin for a brand new scene

Gonna hit the scene with my friends

Quisiera
Me gusta explicar
Que tu cuerpo me ilumino
Y ahora mi interior
Se vuelve loco con tu amor
Con tu amor…
Muero por besar
Tus labios sabor a sal
Y quiero imaginar
Tenerte solo para mí
(CORO)
Y yo quisiera ser el mar
Para tocar tu piel
Quisiera ser parte de ti
Y nunca más salir
Déjame entrar
Yo no puedo soñar
Tú eres la eternidad
Estoy apunto de estallar
Al saber que tu ya no estas…
Que tu ya no estas
(CORO X2)
Y yo quisiera ser el mar
Para tocar tu piel
Quisiera ser parte de ti y así jamás salir
Tonight is the night
Where the night turns cold and gray
I see a shooting sky
So high...
That the higher you look
Nothing's there...
Nothing's there...
In the air
Quiet winds are blowing
Suddenly the sky turns blue
So blue...
That the higher you see it
Nothing's there...
Nothing's there...
I want to forget
The things I promised you
If I give you a chance
Suddenly your love will change
Change
Warm, cool morning
In the summer fields
The air becomes visible
Blocking the ways of my path
I'm ready for the journey
Of my life...
Sugarcult -Pretty girl(the way)
Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out what his intentions were about
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love
She's beautiful, as usual, with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
And that's what you get for falling again
You can never get him out of your head
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love...love...
(Musical Interlude)
Pretty girl...
Pretty girl...
Pretty girl is suffering while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she'll figure out
You can never get him out of your head
It's the way
That he makes you cry
It's the way
That he's in your mind
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love
It's the way
That he makes you feel
It's the way
That he kisses you
It's the way
That he makes you fall in love…love...

Shake your body

La da da, let me feel you baby
Let me in, cause I understand
Let me feel you baby
Cause I understand
You like the top and the bottom
You made it drop and then caught 'em
And when you rock 'em you got 'em
Oh my God ‘em, oh my God ‘em
(Let me feel you baby, cause I understand)
You rock the top and the bottom
You make it drop and get on 'em
And when you rock 'em you got 'em
Oh my God I'm, oh my God I'm
(Let me feel you baby, cause I understand)
I understand
Now let me show you where to put that hand
My litte red engine says, 'I think I can, I think I can'
I got your coochie coo, how 'bout you
I got your coochie coo too
La da da da da
Oh my God I'm, oh my God I'm

La da da da da (Oh my God)
Oh my God I'm, oh my God I'm
La da da da da (Oh my God)
Oh my God I'm, oh my God I'm
Okay stop, hahahahaha
Nobody knows, nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry, if I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows, nobody knows, no
Nobody likes, nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life made a choice
But I think nobody knows, no no
Nobody knows, no
Baby, oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown?
And I've lost my way back home
I think nobody knows, no
I said nobody knows
Nobody cares
It's win or lose, not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows, no no
Nobody knows, no no no no
Baby, oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown?
And I've lost my way back home
And oh, no no no no
Nobody knows
No no no no no no
Tomorrow I'll be there my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No no no
Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
I always seem to look so sad
But that's not me, I'm just bad
Why do you keep on following me
Is this what I'm going to be?
Just tell me what you got
I don't know if I like you or not
If you wanna know that'll always keep on trying
Not to let you crying,
Baby, can't you see what I want to be?
chorus:
Just let me know
When do you let me go
I want to be free
Can't you see
Just let me go
I've got things to show
But not this time
Let me go
I don't want you here to stay
I just want you here away
It's not my fault
It's something I can't solve
Let me be free
There's something I wanna be
I can't beseen with you
It's the things you do
Let me go, let me flow
Through your mind
Through your soul
I got to have you low
chorus
When I always keep on trying...
You are my friend that's crying
Don't you wanna know
What's got in to me
I really want to be free
Can't, ohh, can't you see...
Boy, you'll have to let me go...
Go Damon
Go Linda
Go Pink
Hahaha yeah
It's me
I might be the way everybody likes to say
I know what you're thinking about me
There might be a day you might have a certain way
But you don't in my luxuries
And its me, I know I know my name
Cuz I say it proud
Everything I want I always do
Lookin' for the right track
Always on the wrong track
But all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm
layin' down for you
There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood
There might be a day everything, it goes my way
Can't you think I know I'm superfly?
I might see the world in a world inside of you
Then I just might say goodbye
And its my name I know, I say it loud cuz I'm
really proud
Of all the things I used to do
Cuz its the wrong track
Lookin' for the right track
And all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm
layin' down for you
There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood
There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its alright
When I'm happy, I'm sad, but everything is good
Its not that complicated I'm just missundaztood
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lookin' for the right track
Always on the wrong track
But all you're catchin' are these tracks that I'm
layin' down for you
There's a song I was listenin' to up all night
There's a voice I am hearin' sayin' its alright
I was taken for granted but its all good
Cuz I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
Said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
I said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
I said I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
UH! Yeah, yeah, UH! UH! UH! UH! Bring it back,
Damon: Exlax commercial?
Wha?
No this ain't no damn exlax
Shadows are fallin' all over town
Another night and these blues got me down
Oh misery, I sure could use some company
Since he's been gone, I ain't been the same
I carry the weight like an old ball and chain
Guess, it's all meant to be for love to cause me misery
Oh misery, oh misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause me misery
And oh, I've been down this road before
With a passion it turns into pain
And each time I saw love walk out the door
I swore I never get caught again
But ain't it true, it takes what it takes
And sometime we get too smart to leave
One more heartache for me
Another night of misery, oh
Oh, oh misery, oh misery
Tell me why does my heart make a fool of me
Oh misery, oh misery
Tell me why, why, why, why, why, why does this
Heart make a fool of me?
Seems it's my destiny
For love to cause misery, oh
Misery, guess it's all meant to be
For love to cause me misery, oh no, yeah
I've never written a love song
That didn't end in tears
Maybe you'll rewrite my love song
If you can replace my fears
I need your patience and guidance
And all your lovin' and more
When thunder rolls through my life
Will you be able to weather the storm?
There's so much I would give, baby
If I'd only let myself
There's this well of emotions
I feel, I must protect
But what's the point of this armor
If it keeps the love away, too?
I'd rather bleed with cuts of love
Than live without any scars
Baby, can I trust this?
Or do all things end?
I need to hear that you'll die for me
Again and again and again
So tell me, when you look in my eyes
Can you share all the pain and happy times?
'Cause I will love you for the rest of my life
This is my very first love song
That didn't end in tears
I think you rewrote my love song
For the rest of my years

Honey what have you done?
Dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away,run,run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It was Janie's last I.O.U
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believs me
The man was such a sleaze, he ain't
Never gonna be the same
Run away,run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby I don't know why ya treatin me so bad
You said you love me, no one above me
And I was all you had
And though my heart is eating for ya
I can't stop crying
I don't know how
I allow you to treat me this way and still i stay
Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
See when I'm home, I'm all alone
And you are always gone
Boy, you know I really love you
I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
after all these years
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Oohhhhh
I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad
what love will make you do
all the things that we accept
be the things that we regret
too all of my ladies (ladies) feel me
c'mon sing wit me
See, when I get the strength to leave
Always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that maybe
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change
(never gonna change, never gonna change)
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
Butm hurtin while im with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
Boy I gave you all my heart
And all you do is tear it up
Looking out my window
Knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags
[Chorus 2x]
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
Back up! They want you, I swear
You got no worries, you got no cares
All you got is motherfuckers who will jock you
Yeah, you got money in your pocket
And you shoot up the ground like a rocket
You move so fast, lord you can't stop it
There you are in the club swingin'
And I'm just standin' there, standin' there laughin'
All the things people have you believin'
I feel sorry for your ass is out of season
Maybe you should think of cuttin' down drinkin'
Cause you look like a fat rat sinkin'
I coulda helped you, but you had to act out
You don't have a fuckin' clue what I'm about
[Chorus 2x]
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
I saw it comin' through the line like a full back
You're a crack slack, a fuckin' rap back (yeah)
Don't react, you're not fact
Don't give a fuck, yes, like that
What you gonna do now that you ain't got nothin'
Look around honey, you been frontin'
Everybody knows that you're a fraud! (And I'm making records!)
My salutations, no hesitations
No reservation, just cancellation
And if I blow it then I blow it
Cause I'm a poet and I know it
[Chorus 2x]
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
[Repeat until fade]
You wanna try me
Don't you know--
The morning is OK if I wake up lying next to you
But mostly of the time you're away
You're probably flirting with another girl
And not even thinking of me
Oh boy oh boy, I look in your eyes
Oh boy oh boy, and I realize
Oh boy oh boy, I look in your eyes
And the morning is alright
But I know that I love you
And I can't let you cheat on me
You're probably gonna say
That I'm too young
But I know what to do
And I'm making this decision
I think I'm better off alone
How can you cheat on a sexy young lady
Who know what to do when you're around
You know that I'm against it
And hate it when you leave me
But I love you too bits
But I'm not up for it
Oh boy oh boy, I look in your eyes
Oh boy oh boy, and I realize
Oh boy oh boy, I look in your eyes
And the morning is alright
But I know that I love you
And I can't let you cheat on me
You're probably gonna say
That I'm too young
But I know what to do
And I'm making this decision
I think I'm better off alone
When you say that you'll be home for 10 PM
That don't mean in my eyes 7 AM
You I'd like to know which bar you've been at
But I know you'll never tell me 'cause you got no respect
You're too lazy too get your butt off my parents couch
But then I say you wanna beer, you always up for that
You always just can't get enough
And think you can handle it with just one touch
But now I better let you know
That I'm better off alone
So please think again,
Because this is the end!
But I know that I love you
And I can't let you cheat on me
You're probably gonna say
That I'm too young
But I know what to do
And I'm making this decision
I think I'm better off alone
But I know that I love you
And I can't let you cheat on me
You're probably gonna say
That I'm too young
But I know what to do
And I'm making this decision
Bananas
in pijamas
are coming down the stairs
bananas
in pijamas
are coming down in pairs
bananas
in pijamas
are chasing Teddy Bears
cause on Tuesdays they all try to catch them unawares
The car won't start,
It's fallin' apart.
I was late for work and the boss got smart.
My pantyline shows, gotta' run of my hose.
My hair went flat,
Man, I hate that!!
(hate that)
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse,
I realized I forgot my purse!
With all this stress, I must confess,
This could be worse than PMS.
This job ain't worth the pay,
Can't wait 'til the end of the day!
Hey Honey, I'm on my way!
Hey (hey) Hey (hey) Hey, Hey, Hey!!
Honey I'm home and I had a hard day.
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way,
Rub my feet, give me something to eat.
Fix me up my favorite treat.
Honey, I'm back, my head's killin' me.
I need to relax, and watch TV.
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone.
Hey, Hey! Honey, I'm home!!!
I broke a nail
Opening the mail.
I cursed out loud
'Cause it hurt like Hell!
This job's a pain,
It's so mundane,
It sure don't stimulate my brain.
This job ain't worth the pay,
Can't wait 'til the end of the day!
Hey honey, I'm on my way
Hey (hey) Hey (hey) Hey, Hey, Hey!!
Honey, I'm home and I had a hard day.
Pour me a cold one and oh, by the way,
Rub my feet, give me something to eat.
Fix me up my favorite treat.
Honey, I'm back, my head's killin' me.
I need to relax, and watch TV.
Get off the phone, give the dog a bone.
Hey, hey, Honey, I'm home!!
Oh, rub my neck, will ya'?
I'm home!!
That's feels much better!
VERSE 1
i've been the girl
with her skirt pulled high
been the outcast never
running with mascara eyes
now i see the world as a candy store
with a cigarette smile
saying things you can't ignore
like mummy i love you
daddy i hate you
brother i need you
lover hey, fuck you
i can see everything
here with my third eye
like the blue in the sky
CHORUS
if god is a dj
life is a dancefloor
love is the rythm
you are the music
if god is a dj
life is a dancefloor
you get what you given
its all how you use it
VERSE 2
iv'e been the girl
middle finger in the air
unaffected by rumors
the truth i dont care
so open your mouth
stick out your toungue
you might as well let go
you cant take back what you've done
so find a new lifestyle
a new reason to smile
look for Nirvana
under the strobe lights
sequins and sex dreams
you whisper to me
there's no reason to cry
CHORUS
BRIDGE
you take what you get and you get what you give
i say dont run from yourself, man, thats no way to live
ive got a record in my bag you should give it a spin
lift your hands in the air so that life can begin
if god is a dj...if god...if god is a dj
get your ass on the dancefloor
CHORUS
Cada ves que yo me voy
Llevo a un lado de mi piel
Tus fotografías
Para verlas cada vez
Que tu ausencia me devora entero el corazón
Y yo no tengo remedio más
Que amarte
Y en la distancia te puedo ver
Cuando tu fotos me siento a ver
Y en las estrellas tus ojos ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Cada ves que te busco te vas
Y cada ves que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas
Cada ves que te busco te vas
Y cada ves que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas
Cuando hay un abismo desnudo que se pone entre los dos
Yo me valgo de un recuerdo ¿¿¿taciturno??? De tu voz
Y de nuevo siento enfermo este corazón
Que no le queda remedio más
Que amarte
Y en la distancia te puedo ver
Cuando tu fotos me siento a ver
Y en las estrellas tus ojos ver
Cuando tus fotos me siento a ver
Te puedo ver
Cada ves que te busco te vas
Y cada ves que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas
Cada ves que te busco te vas
Y cada ves que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas
Cada ves que te busco te vas
Y cada ves que te llamo no estas
Es por eso que debo decir que tu solo en mis fotos estas

(Lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin')
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be abused
We just want to.....
Everything's broken
But nothing really needs to be fixed
Everything I always say
I always contradict
Don't keep pushing me
Don't keep aching me
I know you love me, baby
But I don't want to know how
'Cause I want to be free
But there's still things I need
And I want to be free, oh, baby
Why's it so hard to understand me
I speak clearly
Just give me what I need
Oh, oh, no, no
Just give me what I need
Oh, yeah, oh
I'm tired of strangers always comin' 'round
I'm tired of all these favours
Cause I don’t know what they're about
I've gotta get away, oh
From these conditions
Why can't I just love myself enough?
Instead of looking outside
For what I should have inside
I wanna live in a world with
No mirrors, no sizes, no consequence and no prizes
No past, no future, no ages, no losers
No hate, no desire, no fate
All these shackles that I tied myself down with
They're weighing me down
I wanna fly away, fly away from here, so far
Just give me wings
Oh, God, why's it so hard, to be free?
And I just wanna
Just wanna be free
And I wish I wish I didn't depend on your love
I wish I loved myself enough
Somebody once told me
"You can't take nothing, nothing but your deeds"
I’m not proud of most of mine
That I still have a long way to find
And I'm going down that road so fast
I wanna be free, yeah, just
Just give me a ticket, baby
Oh, it's what I need
Take it all away from me
I wanna be, I wanna be free
Oh, oh, oh
And what if I gave up all those things that I need
That I think make me who I am
Why, yeah, oh
I'm so much love to give
We're all killing ourselves for
And you were late, you were late
Would someone help me please?
Will someone help me, help me?
And I wanna be free, free, yeah
Oh, yeah, just give me what I need
I wanna be free
Chorus:
Its like Romeo and Juliet
Hot sex on a platta just to get you wet
Yousa' bout' to get in something you will never regret
And its gonna be the bomb this is what I bet, Yup (2x)
Silk-E Fyne:
Since the first time I saw ya,
I knew I was attracted, reacted to the fact, on how you made me act
Shy, but sexy at the same time,
Always on my mind was a little bump and grind
Usually I dont play it that close
You gots to kick it with me
Before I serve you up with an overdose of that bomb ass Pu 90'
Make you my man
Aint got no love for nobody else but you
Cuz you's my boo

So do you know where ya goin to

My heart keeps tickin'
No time for trickin'

So lay me down
Just give it a good lickin'
I'll treat ya like my king cuz you're royal
And only give my love to you because I'm loyal
Escape with me, Come ova to my place
I'll teach you a few things in loving making
Now I can't wait, I won't wait
So take me by my arms and rock me baby

Repeat Chorus (2x)
Silk-E Fyne:
After our first night

(You have two messages)
(First message)
Turn up the thermostat
It's only 50 damn degrees
Everybody is so warm and I'm so cold
Saying can you believe that?
She's got 17 tattoos
And she sings about the blues and she's suburban
Everybody is so obsessed *W.I.T.H. everybody else
I didn't know that so and so broke up
I was busy paying bills
I don't always think I'm right, but I know I'm wrong
I'm trying so hard to get through
I'm trying so hard to hear you
There's so much static in the line,
That I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder I'm the fool?
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It's no wonder, I'm so disconnected
(Second message)
So tell me why you gotta laugh?
I guess I must have missed the joke
The over-caffeinated bull**** has good me tired
I guess you know just where it's at
You gotta have the *L.A.S.T. things
To keep your friends impressed another minute longer
I can only imagine how uncomfortable it is inside that skin
Having to stretch and mold to society
And trouble fitting it
Do you always think you're right but you know you're wrong?
I'm trying so hard to get through
I'm trying so hard to hear you
There's so much static in the line,
That I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder I'm the fool?
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It's no wonder, I'm so disconnected
(The person you are trying to reach, Alecia Moore,
has been temporarily disconnected)
(Please hang up and try again later)
(Unblock yourself if you wish to be connected)
I'm trying so hard to get through
I'm trying so hard to hear you
There's so much static in the line,
That I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder I'm the fool?
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It's no wonder, It's no wonder,
It's no wonder
I'm trying so hard to get through
I'm trying so hard to hear you
There's so much static in the line,
That I can barely hear the truth
Is it any wonder I'm the fool?
Is it a surprise to be uncool?
It's no wonder, I'm so disconnected
(It's no wonder, It's no wonder)
(It's no wonder, It's no wonder)
So she thinks she's got a new boyfriend
But the two of them have never met
She's already got his name tattooed
In a heart across her chest
With his pictures plastered on her wall
But he has never called
And even all her friends they say:
'You're living in delirium'
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you live in deliri
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da
Secretly she's stalking him on the streets
Making sure she's one step behind
They even went to the movies together
Or at least they stood in the same line
She tells everyone he sends her flowers
And love letters he sends her too
And they talk on the phone for hours
It's obvious she’s come on blue
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you live in deliri
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Every night you find her all alone
Fantasising about the brand new home
And she's waiting for the bells the ring a ding-a-ling
Oh, God, she's lost her mind
And her friends tell her all the time
That it's make-believe
This guy she sees it's her disease
She's living in delirium
She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium
She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
(She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium)
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
(She's so happy that she found someone
But she's still living in delirium)
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da, Da da da
Babe, you're livin' in delirium
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you
I wish i could live my life on an aeroplane
I'd have free drinks all day
And my stewardess would say
If you're under pressure
There's a mask above your head
Make sure yours is secure
Before you try to help your friend
Look out the window and see the sunshine
No more construction, destruction & dying
I could float through the clouds with my cell phone turned off
as high as i can go and i never belong
CHORUS:
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
I'll never crash & burn
If i lived my life on an aeroplane
I'd pick up all my friends and we'd drift away
Citizens of nowhere with no red & blue divide
We'd leave the world where greed and propaganda multiplies
Everywhere is love
Everyone is love
Everwhere is love
CHORUS:
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
I'll never crash & burn
No complications
No starring roles
We'd all have plenty
We'll never crash and burn
We'll never crash and burn
Everyone is love
Everywhere is love
RAPS
CHORUS:
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
I'll never crash & burn
(Pink-speaking)

Waiting on a ticket
'Cause you're looking for the ride
You're feeling on top
'Cause you're flying through the sky
You wanna have your cake
And you wanna eat it too
Everybody's always pointing fingers at you
You're damned if you do
You're damned if you don't
We're always doing all the things
That we say we won't
(Chorus)
Here we go
Riding on a whim
Connecting with the rendezvous

We're jumping off the wings
We're going round in circles

Yes we're flying round in circles

Yes we're rocking round in circles
- it's a Catch22
(Pink speaking)

(Verse2)
Looking from the outside, you're always looking in
You think you fix the problem, until it comes right back again
And life seems like a trap, you're trying to get out
You're searching for your cheese because you feel like Mighty Mouse
You're damned if you don't - you're damned if you do
You've seen all the signs, but you haven't got a clue
(Chorus)
Here we go
Riding on a whim
Connecting with the rendezvous
Here we go
We're jumping off the wings
We're going round in circles

Yes we're flying round in circles

You are in, you are in, you are in, you are in
You are in for the ride of your life

and knock you the fuck out
(Chorus)
Here we go
Riding on a whim
Connecting with the rendezvous
Here we go
We're jumping off the wings
We're going round in circles

Here we go
Riding on a whim
Connecting with the rendezvous

We're jumping off the wings
We're going round in circles

ching, ching, ching
BOOOOOOOO
Ching,ching,ching
BOOOOOOOO
I Like to sing the
BOOOOOOO
song.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH
Everybody sing now!
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh, that's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
?Cause they're all wrong
I know better
?Cause you said forever
And ever, who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you a friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
But they knew better
Still you said forever and ever
Who knew? Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we, until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
?Cause they're all wrong
And that last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling, who knew?
My darling
My darling, who knew?
My darling I miss you
My darling, who knew?
Who knew?
The truth about love comes at 3am
You wake up fucked up and you grab a pen
And you say to yourself
I'm gonna figure it out, I'm gonna crack that code
Gonna break it break it down
I'm tired of all these questions
And, now it's just annoying
Cause, no one has the answer
So I guess it's up to be
To find the truth about love
As it comes, and it goes
A strange fascination with his lips and toes
Morning breath, bedroom eyes on a smiling face
Sheet marks red burn, and a sugar glaze
Shocking me all, they can eat your eyes
If the truth about love
I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it's all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes
Oh, you want the truth?
The truth about love is it's nasty and salty
It's the regret in the morning, it's the smelling of armpits
It's wings, and songs
And trees, and birds
It's all the poetry that you ever heard
Tear it put it down, life lime for get me now
It's the hunt and the kill
The schemes and the plots
The truth about love is it's blood, and it's guts
Pure bread, and mud
So much is without the crust
It takes your breathe, cause it leaves a scar
But those untouched never got never got very far
It's raging it's hate
And I sit through it fade
And that's the truth about love
The truth about love
I think it just may be perfect
The only person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it's all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes
Oh you can lose your breath
Oh, you can shoot a gun and
Convince you're the only one that's ever found his way before
It hurts inside the hell we've been in
It falls to get a pack and thinner
It's raised before the angels' lips and
They can turn you into a son of a b-tch man
The truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
Truth, the truth, the truth about love is
It's tasty, it's like a cupcake
It's cotton candy, it melts in your mouth
And lately I been gettin' hunger pains
When you lick your lips while you check me out
Fast car, boring, girlfriend, boring
Got money, boring, no, oh, oh, oh
Hot friends, boring, rock band, boring

Thank you, Thank you so much.
Motorcycle's in the parking lot
Revving their engines and it just won't stop
Matches the noise screaming in my head
Houston, I think we got a problem
Where does everybody go when they go?
They go so fast, I don't think they know
We hate so fast and we love too slow
London, I think we got a problem
And when I think about it
I just can't think about it
I try to drink about it
I keep spinning
Ave Mary A, where did you go? Where did you go?
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad?
Help me, let go of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me, I need you to tell me
Child, be still, child, be still
Broken hearts all around the spot
I can't help thinking that we lost the plot
Suicide bomber and a student shot
Tokyo, I think we got a problem
But for that they have gotta pay
If that don't kill you then the side effects will
If we don't kill each other then the side effects will
Cape Town, I think we got a problem
Ave Mary A, where did you go? Where did you go?
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad?
Help me, let go of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me, I need you to tell me
Child, be still
If the darkest hour comes before the light
Where is the light? Where is the light?
If the darkest hour comes before the light
Where is the light? Where is the light?
Where is the light? Yeah
Ave Mary A, where did you go? Where did you go?
How did you know to get out of a world gone mad?
Help me, help me, let go of the chaos around me
The devil that hounds me, I need you to tell me

Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep oh oh
Things you never say to me oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
(Oh we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind
(Yeah but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams oh oh
You used to lie so close to me oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh our love, our love
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
I'm never stops
You're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust
But our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again
Oh we can learn to love again oh oh
That we're not broken just bent
This bed is just an island where it doesn’t have you
Roll over seven times and there will still be tons of room
Alarm is going off choking coughing spit the reasons why you won’t call me back
I got a Clue
This s*** is crazy did I just get lazy?
Figured it was fine, finally hear you say “I’m out, see you later”
Blows my mind
I need a shrink just to tell me what I think (but I already know the answer to that one)
[CHORUS]
I won’t know just when you faded
Count the times how long I waited for this moment to arrive
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
Now You’re gone
You’re Gone
You’re Gone
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
For so long
So Long
So Long
You're looking better more than ever
oh, How can it be?
I'm feelin *****ty from the pity I've been giving me.
I’m getting emails from my friends
all saying "What's the deal? You can't just act normal like it never happened"
I took your toothbrush off the sink and then I put it back
I rearranged the closets manics swinging from the racks??
I've always hated that your shoes smell like tennis balls
but now I kinda really miss it...
[CHORUS]
I won’t know just when you faded
Count the times how long I waited for this moment to arrive
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
Now You’re gone
You’re Gone
You’re Gone
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
For so long
So Long
So Long
I thought I could do this
I thought I was strong
To pick up the pieces of where we belong
I push You away
I push you away
Now You’re gone
I know I said, “That you don’t own me, just leave me alone (I’m lonely)”
I wish you’d never listen to me….
(Yeah!)
Yeahhhh!
[CHORUS]
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
Now You’re gone
You’re Gone
You’re Gone
I push you away
I push you away
I push you away
For so long
So Long
So Long
I thought I could do this
I thought I was strong
To pick up the pieces of where we belong
I push You away
I push you away
Now You’re gone
Put me on the table
Make me say your name
If I can't remember
Then give me all your pain
I can sit and listen
Or I can make you scream
Kiss it and make it better
Just put your trust in me
Oh my God, go a little slower
Oh my God, what was that again
La da da, let me feel you baby
Let me in, 'cause I understand
Let me feel you baby
'Cause I understand
I understand all
Now climb my sugar walls
Problem solved it's dissolved
with the solvent known as spit
Lickity lick not so quick it's a
Slick ride make my mink slide
'Cause were all pink inside
This can be really easy
It doesn't have to be hard
Here baby let me show you
I'll have ya, climbing up the walls
You got all the problems
I think that I can solve
Why don't you come in here baby
Why don't we sit and talk
You like the top and the bottom
You make a drop and then caught 'em
And when you rock then you've got 'em
Dear baby, I'm not sorry for leavin you this way
But I know that I should have told you face-to-face
We've always been straight up so I, I won't waste your time
I'm leavin, say good-bye, because I know what you did last night
Let me let you know, yeah
That I'm leavin baby
Let me let you know, yeah
That I'm leavin baby
Let me let you know
I don't know where I'm goin but I'm goin far from here
Let me let you know yeah
That I'm leavin baby
One more thing before I go, I hope you feel alone
Cuz I'm definitely tired of waiting for you to come home
(been waitin for you at home)
We've always been straight up, so I, I'll just take what's mine
I'm leavin, say good-bye, because you hurt me for the last time
Let me, let you know
Whatever your excuse is, I'm sure, I've heard them all before
Time and time again I told ya, that I need you more
Now I'm walkin out the door
Ooh baby, I'm just here to let you know honey
Ooh, yeah
Here to let you know
Let me let you know yeah
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin' again
Baby, you got me goin' again
You were doin' me sick
He was doin' 8-0 on the freeway
In the 6 double 0, bumpin' Isley
He was gettin' kinda close, kinda touch-ay
'Cuz he had a little too much Hennessey
He told me that he wanna go home
With me up on the hill to my condo
Told me he would keep it all on the low-low
But I told him, "Boo, I don't really know though"
He got closer to me, it started gettin' deep
He had me in a zone
When he started to show me things
I never saw before
Baby, it was smooth but I knew it was game
Hell-of-a-cool but you men are the same
The way he licked his lips and touched my hips
I knew that he was slick
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
I get too hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin' again
Baby, you got me goin' again
You make me sick
In the 6 now, so hot
Gotta pull all the windows down eyes lead
And I'm thinkin' bout the sheets now
Wonderin' should I really take it there now
He told me he would make it worth it
Again, how many times have I heard this
Kinda funny, but I wasn't even nervous
Well his slick-ass lines was kinda workin'
I felt my knees get weak
His body was callin' me
Just couldn't take the heat
Anyway it was 2 or 3, I had to get off the streets
Baby was cool but I knew it was game
Said, he was too schooled to be screamin' my name
Even though we made the best of it
I still told him this
"You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip"
"I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it"
"You got me goin' again
Baby, you got me goin' again
You make me sick"
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin' again
Baby, you got me goin' again
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Got me lit like a candlestick
Get too hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't get enough of it
You got me goin' again
Baby, you got me goin' again
You make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Hot when you touch the tip
I'm feelin' it, I gotta getta grip
And it's drivin' me crazy
Baby don't you quit
Can't no no no no no
Oh, you make me sick
I want you and I'm hatin' it
Oh oh does he know
Light in the afterglow
Little light but I can't come, can't say no
Make him think he's crazy
While his paranoia grows
But what should be asking
1, 2, 3, 4
Our gum's are black our teeth are falling out
We got spots on our backs so give it up and shout
We got Scurvy we need some vitamin C
We got Scurvy we need a lemon tree
We got Scurvy we just chillin' on the sea
Lets get this Scurvy started
A pirate ain't worthy
Till he got some Scurvy
Since you've got Scurvy on your nervy when you sing that song
Scurvy (Scurvy)
We got Scurvy (scurvy)
We got Scurvy (scurvy)
I'm pushing on the buttons, but nothing's happening
Please god don't let anybody see me
Please god I'll do anything you're asking me
I'm ground mess, no more walk of shame
So walk this (we're walking, we're walking)
I gave you three years of my life
You always said I'd be your wife
Whatever happened to the days
When life was simple?
(So simple)
Everyone knows my name
I haven't changed, I'm the same girl
I was from the start
Everything's rearranged, you came
And changed it and gave me a broken heart
You don't wanna work it out, no
You wanna take the easy route
Throw your hands up and you walk away
When times get hard you always walk away
You get mad and say you're leavin'
Why is it so damn hard for you to talk to me
When it's so easy for you to walk away?
So here I am, driving down the street
Lookin' for a sign, when will I meet
The man of my dreams
When will he come to me?
When will he come to me?
'Cause I'm sick of tryin'
I'm goin' home back to PA where I come from
And you can stay here
And spend your whole life runnin'
But baby I'm gonna move on
You didn't wanna work it out, no
You wanna take the easy route
You throw your hands up and you walked away
When times got hard you always walked away
Well sorry baby but I'm leavin'
It was just too hard for you to talk to me
And now it's my turn I'm gonna do the same
(Ohh)
So there I go, Ieavin' you alone
What will you do?
Now all your fears came true
You had my heart, you had my soul
You had it all, didn't you?
'Cause I'm sick of tryin',
I'm goin' home back to Philly where I come from
And you can stay here
And spend your whole life runnin'
But baby it's time to move on
Girl you didn't wanna work it out, no
You just wanted the easy route
You threw your hands up and you walked away
When times got hard you always walked away
Well sorry baby but I'm leavin'
It was just too hard for you to talk to me
Now its my turn I'm gonna do the same
I'm throwin' my hands up I'm gonna walk away
When times got hard you always walked away
It was just too hard for you to talk to me
Well sorry baby but I'm leavin'
Now it's my turn I'm gonna do the same
I'm gonna do the same
I'm gonna walk away
So how does it feel baby?
So how does it feel baby?
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna, I'm gonna
Ever wonder about what he's doing
how it all turned to lies
sometimes that its better
to never ask why[Chorus]
When there's desire there is going to be a flame
when there's a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
you gotta get up and try try try x3
Funny how the heart can be deceiving
more than just a couple of times
why do we fall in love so easy?
even when its not right[Chorus]
When there's desire there is going to be a flame
when there's a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
you gotta get up and try try try x3
Ever worry that it might be ruined
doesn't it make you wanna cry?
when you're out there doing what you're doing
are you just getting by?
tell me are you just getting by by by by[Chorus]
When there's desire there is going to be a flame
when there's a flame someone's bound to get burned
Just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die
Well tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get out of here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Bought myself a quick, cheap ticket, looking for a brand new scene
Gotta get the hell outta Hollwyood cause everything is halloween
Hit the town brass knuckles, make all the good people stare
I hope I don't end up in jail, but then again I don't realy care
Tonight's the night I'm going to get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get out of here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Think it's time to have some fun, but what am I gonna wear
And where are we gonna go, and who's gonna do my hair
Got these hotass boots, but ain't got nothin to do
Somebody better give me some gas money, we're sitting here like fools
Tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get outta here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
I'm leaving today, I'm going far, far, far away
Got no reason to stay cause I don't wanna play
So can you hang, it's gonna be all night
Tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get outta here
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Bought myself a quick, cheap ticket, lookin for a brand new scene
Gotta get the hell outta Hollywood cause every day is halloween
Hit the town with brass knuckles, all the good people stare
I hope I don't end up in jail, but then again I don't really care
Tonight's the night I'm gonna get right
Gonna hit the scene with my friends
Tonight's the night Imma feel alright, feel alright again
Tonight's the night Imma do what I gotta do to get outta here
Why do you feel so good?
How you make me feel like this
I think I'm hypnotized
It started with a kiss
We shouldn't do this
We both know it's wrong
We both have someone,
To them our hearts belong
Quick, before you go, take off my clothes
And dance with me, yeah
Don't stress me out
Don't talk about
No promises
Your privileges
To love me now
Baby, do not think too much
I'm not asking for love
Let me tell you what I like
Get behind me, hold me tight
Don't be afraid
Take it slow baby
And it's okay
If you forget my name
Quick, before you say goodbye, let's fly
And dance with me, yeah, oh oh oh
Don't stress me out (don't do it)
Don't talk about (don't talk)
No promises (no promises)
Your privileges
To love me now
Don't you wanna dance with me?
Tell me
Why is it so taboo for you to love me like you do?
(You do, baby)
Baby don't talk about it, let's be about it, 'cause I do
(Baby, I do)
Your other girl won't let you do it
Looks like I'm the one for you
(Looks like I'm the one for you)
Don't stress me out (don't do it)
Don't talk about (don't talk about it)
No promises (no no no)
Your privileges
To love me now
Boy, you wanna dance with me?
Don't stress me out (no)
Don't talk about (no)
No promises (making no promises)
Your privileges (uh oh oh)
Please don't come around
Talkin' bout that you love me
Cause that love shit just ain't for me
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doing is running your mind games
Don't you know that game's began
So your best bet is to be straight with me
So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk I'll walk, yeah it's like that
Got a new man, he's waiting out back
Now what! Whatcha' think about that
Now when I say I'm through I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna say
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay
There u go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There u go, talkin' bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There u go, talkin' bout you miss me so
That you love me so
Why I let you go
Yeah you know cause your lies got old
Look at you, there u go
Please don't come around talkin' bout how you changed
How you said goodbye to what's her name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right
When I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from round you
Cause my life was all about you
So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah it's like that
Had your chance, won't take you back
Now what! Whatcha' think about that
When I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
Whatcha' wanna say
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay
There u go, lookin' pitiful
Just because I let you go
There u go, talkin' bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There u go, talkin' bout you miss me so
That you love me so
Why I let you go
Yeah you know cause your lies got old
Look at you, there u go
Oooh, don't you wish you could turn the hands of time
Don't you wish that you still were mine
Don't you wish I'd take you back
Don't you wish that things were simple like that
Didn't miss a good thing til' it's gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long
Til' you came running back, missing my love
I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don't wanna be that call at four o'clock in the mornin'
'Cause I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home
Ah, the sun is blindin'
I stayed up again
Oh, I am findin'
That's not the way I want my story to end
I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside, you're my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?
I don't wanna be the girl that has to fill the silence
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
'Cause I won't remember, save your breath
'Cause what's the use?
Ah, the night is callin'
And it whispers to me softly, "Come and play"
But I, I am fallin'
And if I let myself go I'm the only one to blame
I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside, you're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
Comin' down, comin' down, comin' down
Spinnin' 'round, spinnin' 'round, spinnin' 'round
I'm lookin' for myself, sober
Comin' down, comin' down, comin' down
Spinnin' 'round, spinnin' 'round, spinnin' 'round
Lookin' for myself, sober
When it's good, then it's good, it's so good 'til it goes bad
'Til you're trying to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry 'never again'
Broken down in agony, just tryin' find a friend, oh, oh
I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside, you're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?
I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside, you're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

The waiter just took my table

Somebody's gonna die

You weren't there, you never were
You want it all but that's not fair
I gave you life, I gave my all
You we're there, you let me fall
So, so what, I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves and I don't need you
And guess what, I'm havin' more fun
And now that we're done I'm gonna show you tonight

Drink up your rides gone

and tell you that i care
samuel, tell me, what's wrong?
you make me feel so...
like ive got nothing to say
Please tell me what is taking place,
Cause I can't seem to find a trace.
Guess it must have got away somehow.
Probably 'cause I always forget, everytime someone
tells me their name.
It's always gotta' be the same
In my world
Never wore a cover up,
Always beat the boys up.
Grew up in a 5,000 population town
Made my money by cutting grass,
got fired by fried chicken ass
All in a small town, Napanee.
You know, I always stay up,
without sleeping, and think to myself.
Where do I belong forever,
in whose arms, the time and place?
CHORUS
Can't help it if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way.
I may switch off and go in a daydream.
In this head my thoughts are deep,
sometimes I can't even speak.
Would someone be and not pretend,
I'm off again in my world
I never spend less than an hour,
washing my hair in the shower.
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight.
So I braid in a zillion braids,
Though it may take a friggin' day,
There's nothing else better to do anyway.
When you're all alone,
In the lands of forever,
Lay under the milky way.
On and on, it's getting to late out,
I'm not in love this time, this night.
CHORUS
Can't help it if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way.
I may switch off and go in a daydream.
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I can't even speak.
Would someone be and not pretend,
I'm off again in my world.
(La, La, La, La)
Take sometime,
Mellow out.
Party up,
But don't fall down.
Don't get caught,
Sneak out of the house.
CHORUS
Can't help it if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way.
I may switch off and go in a daydream.
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I can't even speak.
Would someone be and not pretend,
I'm off again in my world
Can't help it if I space in a daze,
my eyes tune out the other way.
I may switch off and go in a daydream.
In this head my thoughts are deep,
Sometimes I can't even speak.
Would someone be and not pretend,
I never thought I'd find someone
But you came along and made me see
That you were the only one for me
Boy, I love you constantly
You are my love, my only love
Baby my heart belongs to you
Be with me, don't play with me
If you want love just let me know
Love...love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real
Oh love, love is such a crazy thing
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (love for real)
I dreamed of someone like you before
But I never thought I'd get the chance
To romance someone as sweet as you
I hope you feel the same as I do
Love, love is such a crazy thing (crazy feeling)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (boy you are my love)
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real (oh my love)
Love, love is such a crazy thing (it's too crazy for me)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is the love, is it real, is it real
Love, love is such a crazy thing (love is such a crazy thing)
Never understood the way I was supposed to feel
Is this love for real, love for real
(baby I think of you, I wanna be with you, I don't understand, is this love for real?
You see I dream of you...every night and day.
I don't understand, is this love for real?
Living in my world
So many riffs u have with your girl
But I'm here to hear all your problems and tell you I understand,
Falling in and out of love with her now. As i watch all I can see...is you being with me,
I know you feel like a fool, being used, paying dues,
Afraid of your loving is taken advantage of,
You don't have to live a life full of strife, take my hand and i'll be the leader
You can depend on me
CHORUS
You can be living in my world, sharing my time, being the one,
stare in the face of love, long enough to see,
You can be living in my world, you'll never shed another tear,
And i'll never stop the love, I'll give you all of me
With open eyes and ears I can hear, hear your crys come from the inside,
But baby its alright, you can just let it go,I'm your friend
Sitting here, willing to listen...oh baby see that you don't have to live,
Like you do, come with me be my king i'll be by your side,
Just let me know what to do, only one goal in mind,
Take your heart, share with mine, make you believe, so you can see that
CHORUS
It only takes one look to see,
That she's a fool and you should know,
Come with me, and i will be...all that you need,
Theres no dreams we can't make real,
And theres no feelings we can't feel,
I'm just...wanting you...needing you..don't you know
Why was I the last to know
That you weren't coming to my show you coulda
Called me up to say "good luck"
You coulda called me back you stupid fuck
Why was I the last to know?
First date, we ate sushi and
It went well, I was funny and
You said I was a cutie
That's the last thing I heard from you
I left the tickets at the door for you
I had to tell my mom that there was
No more room
You didn't show, that was so uncool
You coulda called me back
So i guess this means that we're
Not friends anymore, I heard
It's me you're asking for, I thought
I'd see you at the show
You said you'd go
After the date, I wouldn't go
Home with you
I wouldn't put my heels in the
Air for you
You tried to get me to do things
I just won't do
Last I heard from you
Here is how I guess the story goes
You woulda came if I was a ho
F*** for parts that's just not how
I roll, move it on down the road
So I guess, we, shouldn't be
Friends anymore, sick of hearin'
That it's me you're askin' for
'Cause I thought I'd see you at the
Show, you said you'd go!
You thought you know me
I guess you didn't
You thought you had me
I think you didn't
You thought you knew me
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister
He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello, hey Joe
You wanna give it a go?"
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
He stayed in her boudoir
While she freshened up
That boy drank all that Magnolia wine
On her black satin sheets
Where he started to freak
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Hey, hey, hey
Seeing her skin, feeling silky smooth
Color of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roaring until it cried, "More, more, more!"
Now he's at home doing 9 to 5
Living his brave life of lies
But when he turns off to sleep
All memories keep more, more, more
Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da da
Gitchi gitchi ya ya here
Mocha chocolata, ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

Ah Yeah yeah... ahh
I need some time
To make up my mind (mind)
You've got the key to my heart (key to my heart)
Baby don't you ever go away (go away)
Sitting here thinking about the time we first met
It brings a smile to my face
No one else could ever take your place
Yet I'm afraid of falling in love
The joy the pain that love can bring
Promise me you'll never leave my side
Your kind of love (kind of love)
Is very special (very special)
Our love sent from heaven above (heaven above)
Chorus:
I need some time (I need some time)
To make up my mind
You've got the key to my heart (key to my heart)
Baby don't you ever go away too far
I need you safe in my arms (safe in my arms)
You've got the key to my heart
Baby please don't you ever leave my side
So we've touched
I don't wanna rush this feeling
Relax your mind it's all that goes
I know you ever felt this way before
Love is to control
And I'm the one you want to hold
I know that you want me
And boy you know I really want you too
Your kind of love (kind of love)
Is very special (very special)
Our love sent from heaven above (heaven above
Chorus
I need some time (I want you to stay, I want you to say)
To make up my mind (I want to hold you)
You've got the key to my heart (key to my heart)
Baby don't you walk away too times (promise me we'll never part)
I need you safe in my arms (safe in my arms)
You've got the key to my heart
I have a horrable dream
That you were never here with me
'Cause I'm so alone that's why
And I'll never tell a lie
Chorus:
You know I want you baby
There's nothing I can do
Without you, the world will
Never know who I am
I'm not the one to want you
I am the girl..I am the girl
I want you
I am the person who is always treating
You this way..I am the girl who is happy all
The way and I'm not gonna be with you not
Anymore baby, I'm so disappointed in you
Oh, I am never gonna see you again
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, I never know,
If you are my baby
Yes, I will never know
If you are never my baby (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Where have you been
Where have you gone
And have I done something wrong
You're the tooth fairy
You're like santa claus
You're like white noise
When I want my favorite song
Just come on back
And come on home
It ain't super smart to leave me alone
Light a flare, pick up the phone
I'm like a stoner babe without my bong
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How Come You're Not Here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How Come You're Not Here
I've heard some rumors
About another girl
I heard she's cute
But she stores nuts like a squirrel
And that's all cool
I'll wait right here
Til you get bored
And she gets carded for beer
I'm the one
I'm just that slick
You won't find better
I'm honey dipped
There ain't a thing
That's fake on me
I miss you baby
Come home to me
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How Come You're Not Here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
How Come You're Not Here
Has anyone seen
Has anyone seen
Has anyone seen why he's hiding from me
Can anyone see
Can anyone see
Can anyone see let's play hide and seek
Are you hiding in the closet
Are you underneath the bed
Did you go for a long walk off a short pier
How Come You're Not Here
Should I worry you've been bitten
Or somebody got you high
Quick come back
Or I might just die
Quick come back
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
Back up! They want you, I swear
You got no worries, you got no cares
All you got is motherfuckers who will jock you
Yeah, you got money in your pocket
And you shoot up the ground like a rocket
You move so fast, lord you can't stop it
There you are in the club swingin'
And I'm just standin' there, standin' there laughin'
All the things people have you believin'
I feel sorry for your ass is out of season
Maybe you should think of cuttin' down drinkin'
Cause you look like a fat rat sinkin'
I coulda helped you, but you had to act out
You don't have a fuckin' clue what I'm about
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
I saw it comin' through the line like a full back
You're a crack slack, a fuckin' rap back (yeah)
Don't react, you're not fact
Don't give a fuck, yes, like that
What you gonna do now that you ain't got nothin'
Look around honey, you been frontin'
Everybody knows that you're a fraud! (And I'm making records!)
My salutations, no hesitations
No reservation, just cancellation
And if I blow it then I blow it
Cause I'm a poet and I know it
And you ain't nothin' but a hooker
Sellin' your fuckin' soul
You wanna try me
I like to think that i'm a pretty good kisser
I like to think I maybe broke a few hearts
But since I met you I'm a victim of disaster
I like to think I got it down to an art
So here's where the problem starts
You're shitting on my heart
Oh I can't take it again and again and again
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisened me instead
Trust me, trust me, I think I got heartbreak down
I like to wake and go to bed around whenever
I like to maybe come and go when I choose
But now I'm waiting for a text, call, whatever
What's gotten into me, besides you (Oops!)
You're like a rush, you're like a drug, it's just the sight of you
I like to think that I could kick you but it's what you do
When you wink at me
What's the lord think of me
For being so fucking weak, I find it hard for me to breathe
So here's where my story ends
I got to make amends
I let me down
Again and again and again and again
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisened me instead
Trust me, trust me, I think I got heartbreak down
Here's what we have to do
Stay together, keep it true
Can't be strong too late for cool
I won't live without you
(You are not rid of me!)
All I wanted from you
Was a night maybe two
You beat me at my own game
No, it's not okay
I'm the one that's missing out
All I needed to do
Was get just a taste of you
And now I'm sick all in my head
You poisened me instead
Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight 'cuz I can't do nothin' right
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
L.A. told me, "You'll be a pop star
All you have to change is everything you are"
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me somethin'
A day in the life of someone else
'Cuz I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
(Ohh)
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
(Ohh no)
Don't wanna be my friend no more

(Lookin' lookin' lookin' lookin')
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to be abused
I dance around this empty house
Tear us down, throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall
Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle, now a rash
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun
Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory
I've called the movers, called the maids
We'll try to exorcise this place
Drag my mattress to the yard
Crumble, tumble house of cards
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
I'm gonna burn it down
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, fun
I'm crawling through the doggy door
My key don't fit my life no more
I'll change the drapes, I'll break the plates
I'll find a new place, burn this fucker down
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, da, da, da, da
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(9, 8)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(7, 6)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(5, 4, 3)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
(2, 1)
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
This used to be a Funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
It's time to start the countdown
I'm gonna burn it down, down, down
Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss, no way it's all good, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing
Underestimated, look, I'm still around
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing you are perfect to me
You're so mean when you talk
About yourself, you are wrong
Change the voices in your head
Make them like you instead
So complicated, look how big you'll make it
Filled with so much hatred, such a tired game
It's enough, I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, see you do the same
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
The whole world stares while I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in lying and we tried, tried, tried
But we try too hard, it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics 'cause they're everywhere
They don't like my genes, they don't get my hair
Strange ourselves and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that? Why do I do that?
Ooh, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are perfect to me
You are perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect to me
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you're less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
(Ahh, Ah,Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha)
(Yeah, Mhmm)
(Mmm, Uhh)
I’m alone now
Staring at the ceiling
(Uh, Uh)
I’m kina bored now
I can’t sleep
(I Can’t Sleep, Uh, Uh)
And you only can make my life complete
(Uh, Uh. Ah, IE)
and when you come you slip into a dream
(Uh, Uh. Ah, IE)
When it’s late at night and you’re fast a sleep
I let my fingers do the walking
I press record I become a fiend
And no one else is watching
I let my fingers do the walking
(Sth, Mmm)
I’m starving (Sth)
For some attention
I’m begging, pleading, bleeding
For a suggestion
(Uh, Uh, Uh)
I bite my tongue because I wanna scream
(Uh, Uh. Ah, IE)
I’m almost there then you turn and look at me
(Uh, Uh. Ah, IE)
When it’s late at night and you’re fast a sleep
I let my fingers do the walking
I press record I become a fiend
And no one else is watching
(I let my fingers do the walking)
Rewind and you will see
(You will see)
while in the morning I’m happy
(I’m happy)
Right there on the TV screen
(On the TV)
(¡ME VENGO, ME VENGO!) [Spanish. English: "I'm comming, I'm comming" ]
(Ahh, uh, Uh, Uh, uh)
I’m restless
You need some caffeine
(Ah, Ha, Ha, Ha)
I'm wasted
If you could only see
(only see)
'cause I need more than you are gonna give
(Uh, Uh. Ah, IE)
When it’s late at night and you’re fast a sleep
I let my fingers do the walking
(AHHHHHH)!
I press record I become a fiend
And no one else is watching
(No, No, No No)
When it’s late at night and you’re fast a sleep
I let my fingers do the walking
(My fingers do the walking)
I press record I become a fiend
And no one else is watching
(No one else is watching)
(I let my fingers do the walking)
Never win first place, I don't support the team
I can't take direction and my socks are never clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight 'cuz I can't do nothin' right
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
L.A. told me, "You'll be a pop star
All you have to change is everything you are"
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She's so pretty, that just ain't me
Doctor, doctor won't you please prescribe me somethin'
A day in the life of someone else

Don't let me get me

Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
'Cuz you're the only one that I know who keep them
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
I know, you'll keep them, and this is what I've done
I've been a bad, bad girl for so long
I don't know how to change what went wrong
Daddy's little girl when he went away
What did it teach me?
That love leaves, yea, yea
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
'Cuz you're the only one that I know who keep them, oh yea
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
I know you'll keep them, and this is what I've done
I've been down every road, you could go
I made some bad choices as you know
Seems I have got this whole world cradled in my hands
But it's just like me not to
Understand, yea
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
'Cuz you're the only one that I know who keep them,oh yea
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
(Daa daa daa )
Daa daa daa
Daa daa, daa daa
(Daa daa daa)
Hah uuu hah
Na na na na
(Daa daa daa)
I learned my lessons, yea
I turned myself around
I've got a guardian angel tattooed on my shoulder
She's been watchin' over me
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
'Cuz you're the only one that I know who keep them, oh yea
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
I know you keep them, and this is what I've done,

You're the only one that I know who keep them,
(Da da da)
Dear, dear diary, I wanna tell my secrets
I've been a bad, bad girl
I remember when, I remember
I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And I hope that you are
Having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember
Is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little
It looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
I wish i could live my life on an aeroplane
I'd have free drinks all day
And my stewardess would say
If you're under pressure
There's a mask above your head
Make sure yours is secure
Before you try to help your friend
Look out the window and see the sunshine
No more construction, destruction & dying
I could float through the clouds with my cell phone turned off
as high as i can go and i never belong
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
I'll never crash & burn
If i lived my life on an aeroplane
I'd pick up all my friends and we'd drift away
Citizens of nowhere with no red & blue divide
We'd leave the world where greed and propaganda multiplies
Everywhere is love
Everyone is love
Everwhere is love
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
I'll never crash & burn
No complications
No starring roles
We'd all have plenty
We'll never crash and burn
We'll never crash and burn
Everyone is love
Everywhere is love
Recline my seat back
Kick off my shoes
Lay down my worries
I never crash & burn
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home
Come over here and let me hold your hand and hug you darling
I promise you that it won't always feel this bad
There are so many things I want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken thirteen year old me
You're laughing
But you're hiding
God I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some time
The pain you feel is real you're not asleep but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your passion or the fighter that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off complicated thirteen year old me
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Conversations with my thirteen year old self
Until we meet again
Oh I wish you well oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again

We're always doing all the things
That we say we won't
[CHORUS:]
Here we go
We're riding on a whim
Connecting with a rendezvous
Here we go
We're jumping off the wings
We're going round in circles
It's a catch-22
Yes, we're flying round in circles
It's a catch-22
yes, were rocking round in circles
It's the catch-22

[SPOKEN:]
We realize you had many choices and on behalf of all of us at Pink
Airlines we'd like to thank you for flying with us
We hope you have a wonderful stay wherever your destination may be
And remember, be careful when retrieving your items as during the
flight they may have shifted and might fall on you
Or your neighbor's head and knock you the fuck out
How many times have you sat across from me?
And how many times have you told me you were leavin'?
I'm no tryin' to listen, 'cause it's all the same
And why, why are you constantly believing
That I, I could ever give you what you're needing?
Baby, baby, please don't put your faith in me
I don't know what to say
'Cause it's all a dream to me anyway
You can catch me while
I'm sleepin', darlin'
While I'm dreamin', too
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely place
for me baby
It must get lonely for you, too
People always fallin'
In and out of love and
It can be pretty painful, too
And maybe, Oh maybe I'm just not strong enough
Sad but true
So tell me what's the use?
Oh, Oh You can catch me while
I'm sleepin', darlin'
Maybe While I'm dreamin', too
'Cause It's a lonely, lonely, lonely place
for me baby
Just when you think
Hope is lost
And giving up
Is all you got,
Blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That's when you can build a bridge of light,
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight,
Only love can build us a bridge of light
When your feet are made of stone
You're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
Let's not let our anger get us lost
And the need to be right comes at way too high a cost
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you know it's worth the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'cause only love can build us a bridge of light
Deep breath, take it on the chin
But don't forget to let love back in
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'cause only love can build us a bridge of light
Only love can build us a bridge of light...
Of light...
There's a whole n'other conversation going on
In a parralell universe
Where nothig breaks and nothing hurts
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me
Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minutes enough,
Just beam me up.
Some black birds soaring in the sky,
Barely a breath like our one last say
Tell me that was you, saying goodbye,
There are times I feel the shiver and cold,
It only happens when I'm on my own,
I tell ya, tell me, I'm not alone
Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minutes enough,
Just beam me up.
In my head, I see your baby blues
I hear your voice and I, I break in two and now there's
One of me, with you
So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine
Just beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, tired of being a fighter,
I think, a minutes enough,
Beam me up
Beam me up
Beam me up
Are we all we are
Are we all we are
Cut to now, holy wow
When did everything become such a hell of a mess
Maybe now maybe now can somebody come and take this off my chest
I know you think it's not your problem
I know you think that god will solve them
But if your sh-t is not together
It'll never be you and me, plant the seed
Open up and let it be
We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of
We've got it all, we've had enough, we've had it up here
Are we all we are

We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of
Just say it loud, until the kids are singing right back
Are we all we are
Are we all we are
Are we all we are
Are we all we are
Seven seconds, seven seconds
That is all the time you got to make your point
My attention, my attention's like an infant trying to crawl across the joint
I know we're better than the masses
But we follow with our asses
And if our shit is not together
It'll never be you and me, plant the seed
Open and let it be
We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of
We've got it all, we've had enough, we've had it up here

Four, that's how many years it took me to get through the lesson that I had to do it all on my own
Three, that's how many hail mary's they would pray for me thinking I was gonna end up all alone
Two for the second changes that you've given me, can it be?
Lucky me lucky me, now let's go
One is what we are, is what we are
Are we all we are
Are we all we are
We are the people that you'll never get the best of
Not forget the rest of, rest of
We've got it all, we've had enough, we've had it up here

Who will understand it anyway?
It's just a waste
Take M
Mmm mmm
It's so lovely, so delicious, it says it all

Ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends
Exactly what I don't need
Twisting my words so easily
Words are just words
They get in my way
See like right now, I wanna tell you that I love you
but I don't know how..
Put the H com the A com the TE,
give it power, you could destroy me
Put the L, com the O com the VE,
Give that power and you don't have to say anything
Words are just words
They get in my way
Bla bla bla bla
Blaaaa
Words are just words
They get in my way
Words are just words
They get in my way
Take B,

There was a 5.8 earthquake today
and it kinda got me thinking
I'd still have all my hate for you in tact
even if I lost everything
What did I say
Why are you shaking your head
You know you done me wrong
I may be crazy it's all in my head
But I want you done and gone
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me
eh eh eh eh [repeats for a bit]
It's hard to believe I ever laughed at anything you said
Cos you're just not funny
Who would believe I'd let you do all those things
Oh I guess the joke was on me
I tried to be zane
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
But all I see is your face
In my favorite place
And I can't help but wonder why
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me
eh eh eh eh [repeats for a bit]
Yeaaahhheee
I tried to be zane
I've even asked all my friends
To help my let it slide
All I see is your face
In my favorite place
And I can't help but wonder why
Why did I ever like you
What did I see
Whatever it was must have been some kind of illusion
A Magic trick on me
eh eh eh eh [repeats for a bit]
Tell me why did I
Why did I ever like you

She looks to the sun
Help her to carry on
Braking down all the years
Wondering how she got here
She drifts through the sky
Counting the reasons why
How my life turned so fast
Remembering all of the past
All the changes, and all the mistakes
Foolishly laughing at things that
Words that she says
She looks to the stars
Breaking, time to follow the heart
Her world is falling apart
And the turning of every new page
A book on a shelf that is there to remain
Breaking the walls as she's tearing them down
A she is starting to drown
She's waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting for love
Waiting, waiting for love
She's waiting, waiting so long
She prays to the Gods
Telling how she needs someone
Help me find where I am today
Life is looking very grey
All the changes, all the mistakes
Foolishly laughing at things that
Everything that she says
I'm waiting for a new day to rise
COnversations to make sense to me and my mind
I need someone to lift me right off of my feet
And I want it, and I need it, and I'll leave it all behind
And all the changes I've made
And I remember the words, that you'll never say
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
Check it out, goin' out on the late night
Lookin' tight, feelin' nice, it's a cock fight
I can tell, I just know that it's goin' down tonight
At the door we don't wait 'cause we know them
At the bar, six shots, just beginnin'
That's when dickhead put his hands on me, but you see
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just u + ur hand tonight
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
Midnight, I'm drunk, I don't give a fuck
Wanna dance by myself, guess you're outta luck
Don't touch, back up, I'm not the one, uh buh-bye!
Listen up it's just not happenin'
You can say what you want to your boyfriends
Just let me have my fun tonight, a'ight?
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just u + ur hand tonight
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
Uh, uh uh, uh uh, uh uh, oh!
(Break break break, break it, break it down)
You're in the corner with your boys, you bet 'em five bucks
You'd get the girl that just walked in but she thinks you suck
We didn't get all dressed up just for you to see
So quit spillin' your drinks on me, yeah
You know who you are
High-fivin', talkin' shit
But you're going home alone, aren't ya?
'Cause I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just u + ur hand tonight
I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
'Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say
Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face
There's no one quite like you
You push all my buttons down
I know life would suck without you
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you,
So much, I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothing else can break my heart like
True love, true love,
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Just once try to wrap your little brain around my feelings
Just once please try not to be so mean
Repeat after me now R-O-M-A-N-C-E-E-E
Come on I'll say it slowly
You can do it babe
At the same time, I wanna hug you
I wanna wrap my hands around your neck
You're an asshole but I love you
And you make me so mad I ask myself
Why I'm still here, or where could I go
You're the only love I've ever known
But I hate you, I really hate you,
So much, I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothing else can break my heart like
True love, true love,
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
Why do you walk me off the wrong way?
Why do you say the things that you say?
Sometimes I wonder how we ever came to be
But without you I'm incomplete
I think it must be
True love, true love
It must be true love
Nothing else can break my heart like
True love, true love,
It must be true love
No one else can break my heart like you
No one else can break my heart like you (like you)
No attorneys, to plead my case
No opiates, to send me into outer space
And my fingers are bejeweled
With diamonds and gold but that ain't

Mmmm mm yeah
Oh oh
I stood by the exit door of the hotel café
He was playing with his band
I've always been a sucker had a weakness for a boy with a guitar and a drink in his hand
His words were like heaven in my hurricane
My knees buckled under
I thought everyone was watching me
Watching you save my life with the song
You were mine
In the back of my mind
Oh just for one night
Just for a while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
Two weeks later I was sitting in his apartment
He was making cappuccino
I said what kind of man makes cappuccino
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed
We laughed 'til tears ran down my face
Oh but my man you're someone else's man
And that ain't the man that I want
But you keep drawing me in with those big brown lying eyes
You'll always be mine
In the back of my mind
Oh we had a night
Just a little while
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart yes
I'll always see your face
The one that got away
One that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
Yeah yeah
Oh oh oh oh
Yeah yeah
I'm not a victim of clichés
I don't believe in soul mates
Happy endings only one
Oh and I met you and all that changed
I had a taste and you're still sitting on the tip of my tongue
You were mine
Somewhere in time
I'll look for you first
In my next life
There's always one that gets away
The one that sneaks up on you that slips away
Slips away
In a closed off corner of my heart yeah yeah yeah yeah
I I'll always see your face
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
Oh the one that got away
The one that got away
The one that got away
Yeah yeah
Oh oh yeah
The King is dead but the Queen is alive,
Off with his head I am done with his lies,
A fair win I have fought for my life,
A clean slate after all this time,
A revolution and now I am in charge,
My evolution is to shoot for the stars,
His first mistake he underestimates,
He didn't bother to appreciate.
Chorus:
Rah rah rah,
Sis boom fuckin' blah
There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,
Three cheers for the one that got away,
You were just blah blah blah,
I was oh my god,
And unlike your anatomy,
I'm glad I had it in me,
Now The King,
The King,
The King,
The King is dead,
But The Queen is alive (repeat)
SECOND VERSE:
I guess the village didn't raise you right,
Don't think nobodies gonna mourn you tonight,
No more licks to wet your appetite,
You make me sick I didn't wanna fight,
I thought we ruled the heavens in the earth,
I really thought I was the only girl,
Your secrets have all been revealed to me,
You've been dethroned there goes your legacy
Chorus
Rah rah rah,
Sis boom fuckin' blah
There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,
Three cheers for the one that got away,
You were just blah blah blah,
I was oh my god,
And unlike your anatomy,
I'm glad I had it in me,
Now The King,
The King,
The King,
The King is dead,
But The Queen is alive (repeat)
THIRD VERSE:
There are consequences in this life,
A punishment that fits the crime,
Your last words, I heard I'm sorry,
Now look at me in all my glory,
The King is dead but the queen is alive,
I wear your crown and I look quite nice,
I almost let you get the best of me
But no ones ever gonna get the queen. (Scream),
GUITAR SOLO
Chorus
Rah rah rah,
Sis boom fuckin' blah
There's a party in your honour, but you won't be there whatever, so,
Three cheers for the one that got away,
You were just blah blah blah,
I was oh my god,
And unlike your anatomy,
I'm glad I had it in me,
Now The King,
The King,
The King,
The King is dead,
But The Queen is alive
I ain't lookin for a steady thing
I ain't lookin for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still lookin for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away
Don't assume cuz I'm a woman
That I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't wanna hear you got what I need
Cuz how would you know before we speak
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You've gotta take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
Cuz I get a feeling I won't let it start
Please believe me
I've been down this road and back again
Learned my lesson and it was that love is not my friend
For the day I put my trust in you
Would be the day I say "I do"
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think I wanna hear
Oh baby save it, I've heard it all before
There ain't nothin you could say, whoa, to make me change my ways
So stop falling
Stop falling
You know you're falling....for me
Stop falling
Stop falling
Stop falling...for me
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let it start
CHORUS
Wake up in the morning go to work
Fire up the truck and drive to Sonoma
Hop on the forklift
Fill up the truck with ten thousand pounds of newspaper
Ten thousand pounds of racist, trash, and lies
Drive the truck back to Santa Rosa put the newspaper in the recycle
So the rich white man can print out the same batch of lies
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again
It's too bad the cops had to kill that man
But he had a broomstick and he was Asian
We know they're all samurai warriors
They're all kung fu masters
They're all just like Jackie Chan
It's too bad the cops had to restrain his wife
Cause she was a registered nurse and she tried to save his life
But that would go against rules and regulations
To just forget at 2 at night
We're so proud of our boys in blue
Cause they always do what's right
I saw Eileen today
I saw her children play in the courtyard
Lately it occurred to me
How does a mama tell her children their dad got killed by the police?
CHORUS
It's too bad the cops had to kill that kid
But someone called in a stolen walkman
The cops they chased him down but he refused to lie face on the ground
And he just walked away
The cop said, "This punk can't walk away in the all black night
so I had to shoot him in the back of the head
From fifty feet away
I had to kill him it was self defense
I was afraid he would circle back around and kill me."
I saw Corneleus speak today at the Hayward High
That other police stole his sons life away
Over a walkman that wasn't that much more than change
How does a father find justice for a son stolen away?
Stolen away
Stolen away
Stolen away
Stolen away
I don't want to hear your news cast anymore cause it's bullshit
I don't want to see your headlines anymore cause they're bullshit
I don't want to hear your press release anymore cause it's bullshit
I do not trust, so I cannot love
(can't no man be trusted)
Oh no no no
And I would not dare to open up
(this life of yours is dusted Pink)
Well my rent's past due and now my car won't start, I hate the bus
(well aren't you glad you have somebody to talk to)
Tell me what do they see when they look at me
Do they see my many personalities
Can you help me
Does anybody hear me
Can they even see me
This is my reality, oh oh
(can it be my turn now, is it my turn Pink)
Said I'll say it again, you're my only friend
(I protect you from the world, I basically protect you from yourself)
Though I can't go on, I'm not satisfied with this being the end
(this is just the beginning)
Tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky
Tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
Tell me why can't I say this, why can't I do that
Tell me what do they want from me, tell me how to act
So I'm putting it all on the table
(tell em' Pink)
You don't know me well enough to label me, sick, or even disturbed
When you break it down I'm just two girls
Trying to blend, trying to vibe
(trying)
Trying to live just one life
(so hard)
Everybody's got insanities...I got a split personality
Tell me why can't I just reach up and simply touch the sky
(why can't you)
Tell me why can't I spread my arms and fly and fly and fly
(you can)
Tell me why can't I say this, why can't I do that
(just do it)
Tell me what do they want from me, tell me how to act
(I can't, I can't)
Can you help me
(talk to me, talk to me, don't ignore me, I can't take it)
Do you hear me
Do you see me everytime
(oh calm down, it's not that serious, we'll be just fine without them)
It's all mine...it's my reality...it's just too much for me
1 and 2 and 3 and 4
This my rap song
1-2-3-4, I get really sick and tired
Of boys up in my face
Pick up lines like, 'What's your sign?'
Won't get you anyplace
When me and all my girls
Go walking down the street
It seems we can't go anywhere
Without a car that goes 'Beep-beep'
'Cause this body is a priceless piece
Of lovin' unconditionally
So, Mr. Big-stuff, who you think you are?
You was thinkin' you's gonna get it for free
Now, now, now
Hey ladies, let 'em know it ain't easy
R E S P E C T, let's come togeta'
Sista's, it's time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Nothin' good comes for free
Mirror, mirror on the wall, damn I sure look fine
I can't blame those horny boys, I would make me mine
When I pass you in a club, "Ooh, lala", you gasp
Back up boy, I ain't your toy or your piece of ass
'Cause this body is a priceless piece
Of lovin' unconditionally
So, Mr. Big-stuff, who you think you are?
You was thinkin' you's gonna get it for free
Now, now, now
Hey ladies, let 'em know it ain't easy
R E S P E C T, let's come togeta'
Sista's, it's time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Hey ladies, let 'em know it ain't easy
R E S P E C T, let's come togeta'
Sista's, it's time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Nothin' good comes for free
No jealousy, no envy girls
C'mon, let's work it out
No freebies in the Limousine
That's not what it's about
Let 'em know there's work to do
Give it up, he won't call you
Respect is just a minimum
Go on, girl and get you some
1-2-3-4
Ladies, let 'em know it ain't easy
R E S P E C T, let's come togeta'
Sista's, it's time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Hey ladies, let 'em know it ain't easy

Sista's, it's time to be greedy
Nothin' good comes for free
Let's come together
C'mon girls let's work it out
Let's come together
We'll show them what we're talkin' 'bout
Let's come together
C'mon girls let's work it out
Let's come together
Let's come together
Right, right turn off the lights
We gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the dealeo?
I love when it's all too much
5 a.m., turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?
Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangster
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never, never be
Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come o, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass
Slam, slam, oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand?
Wish you'd just freak out
Can't stop coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now
(It's so fucking on right now)
Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangster
Don't be fancy, just get dancey
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never, never be
Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on, and
Raise your glass
Just come on and come and
Raise your glass
Oh shit, my glass is empty
That sucks
So if you're too school for cool
And you're treated like a fool
You could choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own
So raise your, so raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never, never be
Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs, we will never, never be
Anything but loud and nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass

Raise your glass for me

How many time I've kicked you outta here?
Or said something insulting?
Da da da, da da
I can be so mean when I wanna be
I am capable of really anything
I can cut you into pieces
But my heart is broken
Da da da, da da
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
How did I become so obnoxious?
What is it with you that makes me act like this?
I've never been this nasty
Da da da, da da
Can't you tell that this is all just a contest?
The one that wins will be the one that hits the hardest
But baby I don't mean it
I mean it, I promise
Da da da, da da
Please don't leave me
Oh please don't leave me
I always say how I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me
I forgot to say out loud how beautiful you really are to me
I cannot be without, you're my perfect little punching bag
And I need you, I'm sorry
Da da da, da da
Da da da da, da da da da
Da da da, da da
Please, please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)
Baby please don't leave me
(Da da da, da da)
No, don't leave me
Please don't leave me no no no
You say I don't need you
But it's always gonna come right back
It's gonna come right back to this
Please, don't leave me

That they think I'm really handsome and shit
Or just the fact that I'm latin
And I'm packin the dick

Give it a minute
And I'm already half way there
There's isn't still not a player
With your ass in the air
Takin your underwear's off
Cause I just dont care
Dead in the middle of the dance floor
Naked, oh yeah
Take it and get it
Cause the rhythm got you shakin' your rear
You got a glare
Like you haven't been
Fucked in a year
Touchin' your hair
While I whisper
Sweet nothins in your ear
Love champagne
But I'd just rather
Guzzle a beer
Come over hear, honey
Cause you ain't got nothin to fear
Get somethin clear
I'm a player
But you can trust me dear
So look it here
If there's a party
Mami, meet me at the pier
We can stay in Manhattan
And have a passionate affair
Yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
[Cuban Link]
No sleep, no sex for you from your ex-girlfriend
I was too deep, I can't let you go and just jump
At times I would push my feelings aside to let
you feel
I'm novicane I'm numb and nothing's real
Like the coldest winter, I am frozen from you
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
But the tears were silent inside you see
But the tears were silent inside you see
I laid there quiet, watched you have your way
with me
I might have cried, the tears were silent inside
you see
You called me names, made me feel like I was dumb
I didn't feel a thing and now I'm gone, gone,
gone
Like a battered child I got used to your pain
But you know its cuz
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
Don't feel a thing, don't feel the pain
Numb, numb, numb
Said
I was weak before now you made me so numb
I can't feel much for you anymore
I gave you my all, my baby
I'm numb, numb, numb
I was weak for
Said now I'm numb, numb, numb
[Hook: Pink]
Every time you come to town you pick me up,
Every time you come around you lit me up,
Even though you're not around you know you want me [you know]
All I want to do is kick it from tonight
All I ask is that you stay just one more night
All I want is to here you say you want me
[Benzino]
See ain't nobody liver
Like DC3 I'm a survivor
I stay candid
Four seat branded
Front standard
Dirt bandit with two cannons [bleow! ]
Here's what the plans is
A good life for me and my mans's
In the studio paid off stanzas
So in the long run
Every song done gotta be bananas
From city streets to corporate suits
From these gritty beats
All heat and nothing sweet
Get a good look, I'm here to stay
Benzino gonna show you how the big dogs play
[Hook: Pink]
Every time you come to town you pick me up,
Every time you come around you lit me up,
Even though you're not around you know you want me [you know]
All I want to do is kick it from tonight
All I ask is that you stay just one more night
All I want is to here you say you want me
[Benzino]
Black ice on the neck and wrist [that's Benzino]
Most hated at the top of the list [that's Benzino]
Hangman with the gangsta hits [that's Benzino]
Top dog that you never forget [that's Benzino]
Watch me turn up the thermostat I burn it black
I want the platinum plaque, y'all can have the game back
Price of fame
More friends more foes new Benz new clothes no sleep no doe
I never cared too much for love
It was all a bunch of mush
That I just did not want
Paid was the issue of the day
If my girlfriends got some game
Couldn't be more fly
Gettin' paid was everything
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need that world to validate me
'Cause Shorty got a job, Shorty got a car
And Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I was a girl about the floss
It was all about the cost
How much he spent on me
Seek for a man who's got the means
To be giving you diamond rings
It's what every fly girl
Could want or even dream
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to care of me
'Cause Shorty got a job, Shorty got a car
Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart, no, no
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
But I'm not every girl
And I don't need no G to take care of me, no
'Cause Shorty got a job, Shorty got a car
And Shorty can pay her own rent
Don't wanna dance if it is not in my heart
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Most girls want a man with the bling bling
Got my own thing, got the ching ching
I just want real love
Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream of
A man that understands real love
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I, I just want real love
Said I gotta have real love
I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize
Starin' at the cracks in the walls
Cuz I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
Cuz its takin' over my head all over again
Do you even know who you are?
I guess I'm tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight
How the birds will sing as I count the rings
around my eyes
Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to
I'm lookin' for a way to become
The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen
Oh, nothin' is ever enough
Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem
Do you even know who you are?
I'm still tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Everybody wants to be
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
Sorry girl, tell a tale for me
Cuz I'm wondering how you really feel
I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you
Cuz I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come
true
Do you even know who you are?
Oh, yeah, yeah
A borrowed dream or a superstar?
Oh, I wanted to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell, I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
I guess not, oh I guess not
Do you even know who you are?
Oh, I'm tryin' to find
A rising dream or a superstar?
Oh, I have a all these dreams
Is life good to you or is it bad?
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have?
No, no
Do you even know what you are?
A rising dream or a fallen star?
I kinda noticed in one night
It's kinda wierd to me
Since your so fine
If it's up to me your face will change
If you smile then that
Should set the tone
Just remember
And if you let go the music
Should move your bones
Just remember
(Sing this song with me)
Can't nobody love ya like i love ya
You're a good girl and that's
What makes me trust ya
Late at night i talk to you
You will know the difference
When i touch ya
Some people are so phony
Nosey 'cause they lonely
Aren't you sick of the same thing?
They say so and so is dating
Love you or they hatin'
And it doesn't even matter anyway
Cause were here tonight
If you smile then that
Should set the tone
Just remember baby
And if you let go the music should
Move your bones
Just remember
(Sing this song with me)
Can't nobody love ya like i love ya
You're a good girl and that's
What makes me trust ya
Late at night i talk to you
You will know the difference
When i touch ya
If you give that chance
To be your man(x2)
Maybe we'll fly the night away
(I just wanna love ya baby, girl) (x2)
Maybe we'll fly the night away
(I just wanna love ya baby, girl)
Can't nobody love ya like i love ya
You're a good girl and that's
What makes me trust ya
Late at night i talk to you
You will know the difference
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I love you so
Much more when you're not here
Watchin all the bad shows
Drinking all of my beer
I don't believe Adam and Eve
Spent every goddamn day together
If you give me some room there will be room enough for two
Tonight
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
I don't wanna wake up with another
But I don't wanna always wake up with you either
No you can't hop into my shower
All I ask for is one ***kin' hour
You taste so sweet
But I can't eat the same thing every day
Cuttin off the phone
Leave me the ***k alone
Tomorrow I'll be beggin' you to come home
Tonight
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back
Why can't I just have it both ways
Go away
Come back
Go away
Come back
I wish you knew the difference
Go away
Come back
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Tonight
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
Tonight
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
I'm tired
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely tonight
Tonight
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
I'm tired
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Leave me alone I'm lonely
Alone I'm lonely
Say goodbye
It'll make me want to kiss you
Tonight
Go away
Give me a chance to miss you
Say goodbye
Honey what have you done?
Dum dum dum, it's the sound, it's the sound
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole world's come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do?
What did he put you through?
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do?
He jacked a little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightning and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away,run,run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
her dog day's just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do?
It was Janie's last I.O.U
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said 'cause nobody believs me
The man was such a sleaze, he ain't
Never gonna be the same
Run away,run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah,yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tonight’s the night we’re gonna make it happen
Tonight we’ll put all other things aside
Give in this time and show me some affection
We’re going for those pleasures of the night
I want to love you
Feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can’t get enough
And if you move real slow, I’ll let it go
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it
I’m about to lose control and I think I like it
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I want you, I want you
We shouldn’t even think about tomorrow
Sweet memories will last a long, long time
We’ll have a good time baby don’t you worry
And if we still playing around boy that’s just fine
Let’s get excited
(Oh) we just can’t hide it
I’m about to lose control and I think I like it
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I want you, I want you
Oh I’m gonna want to love you
Feel you, wrap myself around you
I want to squeeze you, please you
I just can’t get enough
And if you move real slow, I’ll let it go
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it
I’m about to lose control and I think I like it
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I want you, I want you
I’m so excited (look what you do to me)
And I just can’t hide it (you’ve got me burning up)
(Oh) I’m about to lose control and I think I like it
I’m so excited (look what you do to me)
And I just can’t hide it (I’ve got to give it up)
I have seen the rain
I have felt the pain
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I don't know where I'm going
I don't even know
Where I've been
But I know
I'd like to see them again
Spend my days just searching
Spend my nights in dreams
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I stopped wondering what it means
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
Oh, they said I should've been more
Probably so if I hadn't been
In that crazy damn Vietnam war
I have seen the rain
I've survived the pain
Oh, I've been home 30 years or so
And I'm just stepping off of the plane
Spend my days just searching
Spend my nights in dreams
Stop looking over my shoulder baby
I stopped wondering what it means
Drop out, burn out, sold your home
Oh, they said I should've been more
Probably so if I hadn't been
In that crazy damn Vietnam war
We have seen the rain together
We survived the pain forever
Oh, it's good to be home again
It's good to be with my friends
Oh, it's good to be home again
When I was a young buck
I tried to be liked by
Everyone
Everyone
I tried so hard to be funny and nice
I tried so hard to be sugar and spice
Didn't work for me
Got old quickly
But now I'm not losing sleep at night
No one's calling me on the telephone
To see if I'm at home
Cause now I've got everything that I have ever wanted or so it seems
Yeah so it seems yeah
You don't
Have to
Like me
Anymore
I've got money now
I don't care
What you say
About me
Anymore
I've got money now
When I got a little older
I realized
It's all lies
There is no prize
There is no prize
There is no heartache if you can afford
Everything delivered right to your door
Responsibilities
This life is easy
So now girl with everything
How could she complain
Cause she's got it made
Yeah she's got it made
I don't need to be tucked in at night
Told that everything is gonna be alright
Is gonna be alright
Cause I don't have to fight
You don't
Have to
Like me
Anymore
I've got money now
I don't care
What you say
About me
Anymore
I've got money now
I wouldn't trade a dollar for some sense
I wouldn't trade a lifetime for some friends
I've got everything
And all is what it seems
I worked so hard all of my life
Just to have things I could call mine
I don't need no love
Cause I have got enough
So now I don't mind being alone all the time
It's alright
I've got money now
That's what it's all about
And I'm so busy buying things and traveling the world
I don't have time for friends
Or family
And that's fine with me
So it seems
You don't
Have to
Like me
Anymore
I've got money now
I don't care
What you say
About me
Anymore
I've got money now
You don't
Have to
Like me
Anymore
I've got money now
I don't care
What you say
About me
Anymore
I don't mind it, I don't mind at all
It's like you're the swing set, and I'm the kid that falls
It's like the way we fight, the times I've cried
We come to blows and every night
The passion's there, so it's got to be right, right?
No, I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No, I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all
I don't mind it, I still don't mind at all
It's like one of those bad dreams when you can't wake up
Looks like you've given up, you've had enough
But I want more, no, I wont' stop
'Cause I just know you'll come around, right?
No, I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No, I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all
Just don't stand there and watch me fall
'Cause I, 'cause I still don't mind at all
It's like the way we fight, the times I've cried
We come to blows and every night
The passion's there
So it's got to be right, right?
No, I don't believe you
When you say don't come around here no more
I won't remind you
You said we wouldn't be apart
No, I don't believe you
When you say you don't need me anymore
So don't pretend to
Not love me at all
We don't wanna go home
We're bad people and we do bad things
Here we go, don't ya know
We're the ones that keep it wicked
Rock n' Roll, all good, mix it up
That's my ticket
Cruisin' in my Cadillac Escalade trickin'
Sometimes like it easy, sometimes
Like it rugged
Keep control, don't ya know
Hit the floor, run for cover
Flew around the world about fifty times over
From New York to LA to the white cliffs of
Dover, the road can be my enemy
The road can be my lover
(watch how we do this here
yeah, watch how we do this here)
From the humble neighborhoods
We're takin' over the dance floor
From the humble neighborhoods
We're gettin' out of control
Here we go, hit the road
We're the ones that make it crazy
Mix it up, try luck
This ain't time to get lazy
Meetin' at 11 in the hotel lobby
Same faces, different places
NEver knowin' where we going now
Someday I'm gonna die but it
Won't be from boredom
If you've got the skills then I suggest
That you throw down
Meet us at the spot 'cause it's
Gonna be a showdown
Naw, you can't ride the bus
Why everytime I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin
That's when the hiccup's comin
Why everytime I try to tell you how it feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and it won't come-come
Soon as I think I'm bout to share my lovin
That's when the hiccup's comin
You're like a cough on a rainy day
You know the kind that gives you chest pains, yeah
And just as things start to feel OK
Then here you come to break away
You love me hard and you squeeze me tight
You let me go then you pick a fight
You make me wanna scream, cry, and shout out-loud
Boy, you got me spinnin round-and-round
My thoughts, they kinda shake-y
Everytime I get around you sweet baby
Sometimes, I don't know what I'm tryin to say
Just tell me baby, tell me things are gonna be OK
I get all choked up inside
And I don't know what to say
Sometimes I wanna just run and hide
But you just stand in my way
Why everytime I tell you how I feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and you know the deal
Pink don't think before she speak
But you got me feelin, feelin, feelin kinda weak
Why everytime I tell you how I feel
It's like a hiccup-cup come and you know the deal
Pink don't think before she speak
[Pink - Chorus]
Here comes, comes the weekend
Hear it calling like a siren
Eh oh Eh oh
We don't want no problems
We don't like them, keep it movin
Here comes the weekend
Set off your sirens
Eh oh eh oh
Here comes the weekend
Set off your sirens
Eh oh eh oh
[Verse 1]
I just wanna play big city holiday
So get out of my way,
If you know what's better for you Ooooh
I'm tearin up the night, lipstick and leather tight
Not lookin for a fight, no
ehooooooo
High heels and cherry wine, not wasting any time
We're ticking like a bomb, about to blow
Eh oh eh oh
[Chorus]
[Pink - Verse 2]
Drink some Pink champagne
I don't know you yet
But we'll forget
So, fuck what they say
Let the ? until it rains
I'm tearing up the night, lipstick and leather tights
Not lookin for a fight, no
eh oh eh oh
High heels and cherry wine, not wasting any time
We're ticking like a bomb, about to blow-oooh-oh.
[Chorus]
[Eminem - Verse 3]
Yes, yes
Nothin' high class in my glass, only bottles I pop
Are bottles of pop so when I pop up in the spot
Im prob-ably not gonna be wantin' to pop bubbly
Or Ciroc, I'm not Puffy, but I'mma run this city tonight
When I hit it, I might act like a frickin' idiot
Diddy mixed with a medieval knight, big city lights
Little indignity, hot diggity, this Biggie is gettin' me hype.
I don't get some liquor, I'll hurt you!
I'll knock your dick in the dirt, bickerin' worse
Than that bitch in that Snicker commercial
A mixture of Stifler and Urkel, hangin' from the light fixture
I hope you pricks are insured for this buildin'
Cuz we're tearin' it down, security get out
The frickin' way, Jesus Christ son the blaring is loud
I swear the only thing I hear is the sound
Of sirens goin' EERREERREERRRERR cause
Here comes the weekend,
Set off your sirens.
Here comes the weekend,
Set off your sirens.
Eh oh eh oh
Ooooh ooh oh
Here comes the weekend,
Set off your sirens.
Eh oh eh oh
Here comes the weekend,
Set off your sirens.
If we tell you that you've got two days to live
Then don't complain, 'cos that's one more than you'd get in Zaire
So don't hang around and be foolish
Do something constructive with your weekend
From Monday morning I work for Friday nights
Collect my wages, then try to paint on the smell of soap
'Cause tonight I get ready early
Score what I need and go pick a girl up
It seems like ages since we had some fun
Here comes the weekend - I get to see the girls
Long live the weekend, the weekend is here
(The weekend starts here)
Everything feels right now
I know why I'm alive now
Everything else is a lie now
Now I know why I'm here
Here comes the weekend
I'm gonna do my head
Long live the weekend
What is this
I heard you got a new miss
We just broke up so you know that I'm pissed
They say you're faithful I don't believe that shhhh...
Oh no, oh no
Oh I tried to act like I didn't care
But it doesn't seem fair you're so good to her
And I tried to pretend I didn't see all those things that you do, you couldn't do for me
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right
Now ya got another girl in your life, givin her love all day and night
I was in love wit ya
But the hell wit ya cuz you didn't wanna treat me right
So I hear, I've met the wench before
(yeah I remember that time we went to Pizza Hut and you told me she was your cousin)
I hear you learned to open doors
(so when did you become such a damn gentleman)
What does she do to you
To make you give her everything like you never did for me
Call it jealousy, but it's killin me
Cuz all the time that you were mine, you didn't treat me right
I keep thinkin' bout that little sparkle in your eye
Is it a light from the angels, or your devil deep inside?
What about the way you say you love me all the time
Are you liftin' me up to heaven, just to drop me down the line?
There's a ring around my finger,
But will you change your mind?
And you tell me that I'm beautiful,
But that could be a lie
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I won't be leavin' here alive, no
Temporary happiness is like waiting for the knife
Cause I'm always watchin' for someone to show their darker side
So maybe I'll sit back and just enjoy all this for now
Watch it all play out, see if you really stick around
But there's always this one question
That keeps me up at night
Are you my greatest love
Or disappointment in my life?
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
What if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker?
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I might as well lay down and die
I'm holding on with both hands and both feet, oh
Promise that you won't pull the rug out from under me
Are you a heartbreaker?
Maybe you want me for the ride
I pray to god you're not a heartbreaker
This time around I won't survive
Cause if I'm fallin' for a heartbreaker
And everything is just a lie
I won't be leavin' here alive
I might as well lay down and die, oh
I've been the girl with her skirt pulled high
Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes
Now I see the world as a candy store
With a cigarette smile, saying things you can't ignore
Like Mommy I love you
Daddy I hate you
Brother I need you
Lover, hey "fuck you"
I can see everything here with my third eye
Like the blue in the sky
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it
I've been the girl- middle finger in the air
Unaffected by rumors, the truth: I don't care
So open your mouth and stick out your tongue
You might as well let go, you can't take back what you've done
So find a new lifestyle
A new reason to smile
Look for Nirvana
Under the strobe lights
Sequins and sex dreams
You whisper to me
There's no reason to cry
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
It's all how you use it
You take what you get and you get what you give
I say don't run from yourself, man, that's no way to live
I've got a record in my bag you should give it a spin
Lift your hands in the air so that life can begin
If God Is a DJ... If God
If God is a DJ (life is a dance floor)
Get your ass on the dance floor
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm
You are the music
If God is a DJ
Life is a dance floor
You get what you're given
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Get this party started on a saturday night
Everybody's waitin' for me to arrive
Sendin' out the message to all of my friends
We'll be lookin' flashy in my mercedes benz
I got lotsa style, got my gold diamond rings
I can go for miles if you know what I mean
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started
Pumpin up the volume, breakin down' to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my a**
Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car
License plate says stunner #1 superstar
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.....

we get paid to rattle our chains
we go in the back,
paint our money black,
spend it on the enemy
sleeping in the church,
riding in the dirt,
put a banner over my grave
Make a body work,

party everyday,
make our desolation look plain
(not 2 sure if unsafe is the rite word)
riding in a rut,
till the powers cut,
we dont even have a good name
sleeping in the church,
riding in the dirt,
put a banner over my grave
Make a body work,
make a begger hurt,
sell me something big and untamed
...Now our time, real good time, oohh
(doo doo doo doo doo doo..)

Mama please stop cryin'
I can't stand the sound
Your pain is painful
And it's tearin' me down
I hear glasses breakin'
As I sit up in my bed
I told Dad you didn't mean
Those nasty things you said
You fight about money
'Bout me and my brother
And this I come home to
This is my shelter
It ain't easy, growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be
You'll see, I don't want love to destroy me
Like it has done my family
Can we work it out?
(Can we?)
Can we be a family?
(Can we?)
I promise I'll be better
(I promise)
Mommy, I'll do anything
(I'll do anything)
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
Daddy, please don't leave
Daddy please stop yelling
(Stop)
I can't stand the sound
(Can't stand the sound)
Make Mama stop cryin'
'Cause I need you around
My mama, she loves you
(I know it)
No matter what she says is true
I know that she hurts you
But remember I love you too
I ran away today
Ran from the noise, ran away
(Ran away)
Don't wanna go back to that place
But don't have no choice, no way
It ain't easy growin' up in World War III
Never knowin' what love could be
That I've seen, I don't want love to destroy me
(I don't want love to destroy me)
Like it did my family
Can we work it out?
(Can we work it?)
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
(I promise I'll do anything)
Mommy, I'll do anything
(To keep you better)
Can we work it out?
Can we be a family?
I promise I'll be better
(I promise, I promise)
Daddy, please don't leave
(Stay)
In our family portrait
(In our family portrait)
We look pretty happy
(We look pretty happy)
Let's play pretend
(Let's play pretend)
Let's act like it comes naturally
(That's right)
(That's right)
I don't wanna have to split the holidays
(No, no)
I don't want two addresses
(No)
I don't want a stepbrother anyways
And I don't want my Mommy
Have to change her last name!
In our family portrait
We look pretty happy
We look pretty normal

Some people like the summer when it's hot
Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak they minds when they wanna
And some other people ain't so bold
Whatever it is that you do you should do
You should do it wit ya head held high
So when you're doin your thing it's cuz you wanna
And they never can ask you why
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cuz it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it your way
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
Cuz it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you gotta do it your way
Some, they like it easy
When others, they like it rough
But ain't nobody gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How could they tell you that you coulda-shoulda-woulda
When ask them can they walk in your shoes
Cuz it's your life and you do what you wanna
And remember baby, it's all about you
So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your piece
And say what you say
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way
So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your piece
And say what you say
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way
Featuring: Indigo Girls
Dear Mr. President, come take a walk with me
(Take a walk with me)
Let's pretend we're just two people and you're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye? And tell me why?
Dear Mr.President, were you a lonely boy?
(Were you a lonely boy?)
Are you a lonely boy?
(Are you a lonely boy?)
How can you say, no child is left behind?
We're not dumb and we're not blind
(We're not blind)
They're all sitting in your cells while you pave the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Can you even look me in the eye?
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you 'bout hard work, hard work, hard work
You don't know nothin' 'bout hard work, hard work, hard work
How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Drinking wine and thinking bliss is on the other side of this
I just need a compass and a willing accomplice
All my doubts that fill my head are skidding up and down again
Up and down and 'round again, down and up and 'round again
Oh, I've had my chances and I've taken them all
Just to end up right back here on the floor
To end up right back here on the floor
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell
But I'm not scared at all
The cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball
Sometimes you think everything is wrapped inside a diamond ring
Love just needs a witness and a little forgiveness
And a halo of patience and a less sporadic pace
And I'm learning to be brave in my beautiful mistakes
Oh, I've felt that fire and I, I've been burned
But I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned
I wouldn't trade the pain for what I've learned
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Fortune teller that says maybe you will go to hell
But I'm not scared at all
Of the cracks in the crystal, the cracks in the crystal ball
Irony, irony, this hate and love, hate and love
What it does to me? What it's done to me? What is done, done?
Pennies in a well, a million dollars in the fountain of a hotel
Broken mirrors and a black cat's cold stare
Walk under ladders on my way to hell, I'll meet you there
But I'm not scared at all, I'm not scared at all
Heaven's sake everyone
For standin' in my way
For ruinning all my fun
You say your doing it for my sake
I thought I did my best
It was nearly good enough
But all that effort I guess
It didn't add up to very much
It hurts me when you call
I hate the way your thinkin'
I could have so easily had it all
I could've had everything,
I could've had everything
This perfect life I'm in,
Screwin' myself over
I could've had everything
I should have had everything
You almost got me thinking
I'm screwing myself over
Screwin' myself over
They say that madness is
Doing a thing the same way
You hope it's gonna turn out different
But ya doing it anyway
I guess it's what I did with you
But at least I have a reason
So my apologies, wont go to anyone
It hurts me when you say,
That all my close mates hate me
I really thought I had it all
I could've had everything
I could've had everything
It's the perfect life for men,
Screwing myself over,
Screwing myself over
I could've had everything
I should've had everything
You almost got me thinking
I'm screwing myself over
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda had everything
I coulda, I coulda, I coulda
I coulda, I coulda had everything
I came so near to thinking
I had something
I could've had everything
It's the perfect life for men
Screwing myself over
Could've had everything
I should've had everything
You almost got me thinking
I'm screwing myself over
Could've had everything
I should've had everything
It's the perfect life for men
Screwing myself over
Could've had everything
I should've had everything
You almost got me thinking
I’m on the rebound
I get it when I want to
I’m on the way down
I’m getting fixed without you
You gave me a band aid
I put it on my heartbreak
And all you got is pictures in your hand
Don't you wish you could hold
The angel in the centerfold
The fantasy you couldn’t control
I walked away from you (I walked away from you)
Don't you wish you could hold?
The pretty little paper doll
The one you couldn’t quite control
I walked away from you
Flip to me I’m the centerfold
I’m gonna charm you all night (all night)
Stick to me I’m the centerfold
We’re gonna go on, hold tight
I’m gonna hate you
‘Til I forget you
So here’s a keep sake
I left it in the bathroom
Just a little something
Something to remind you
I’m sure you’ll never get this close again
Don't you wish you could hold
The angel in the centerfold
The fantasy you couldn’t control
I walked away from you (I walked away from you)
Don't you wish you could hold
The pretty little paper doll
The one you couldn’t quite control
I walked away from you (I walked away from you)
Flip to me I’m the centerfold
I’m gonna charm you all night (all night)
Stick to me I’m the centerfold
We’re gonna go on, hold tight (hold tight)
Flip to me I’m the centerfold
I’m gonna charm you all night (all night)
Stick to me I’m the centerfold
We’re gonna go on, hold tight
Now its him when it coulda been you
Tell me why it’s him when it shoulda been you
Its crazy how this makes you wanna change
Here’s an image you won’t forget
All your life I’ll tease, I’ll torment
I’ll be gone as soon as you turn the page
Don't you wish you could hold
The angel in the centerfold
The fantasy you couldn’t control
I walked away from you (yeah)
Don't you wish you could hold
The pretty little paper doll
The one you couldn’t quite control
I walked away from you (oh, walked away from you)
Flip to me I’m the centerfold
I’m gonna charm you all night (all night)
Stick to me I’m the centerfold
Can't take me home to mama cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before you f***** with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me you adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is f***** me
Can't take me home to mama cuz she wouldn't think I'm proper
Shoulda thought about that before you f***** with me
Don't say you're fallin for me, don't tell me you adore me
Cuz all you're thinkin bout is f***** me
Why'd ya even talk to me, baby were you curious
You knew you never had a love like this
My love was serious, had you delirious
Don't front, I felt it in every kiss
You try and play me, like I ain't your lady
When you just told me that you love me and you want me as your baby
Understand me, cuz I know we can be
Just as happy as anybody, let your heart feel me baby
What the hell was on your mind
You thought I had the time, to be your little undercover thing
But see I can't deal with that, so you better just split with that
Come at me real
Quit playin these silly games
How can you love me, and then just leave me
Because you see somebody looking
And you think they disagree
Well they don't feed you, so why you care boo
Cuz the best love you ever had is right here with you
I don't want nobody else but you
But if you keep playing, then I'll make you the fool
Cuz it's a Pink thang
It's the way you would wanna get with me
Oh, it's a Pink thang
i love you so much i wanna light you on fire
show you how hot you are
i want you so bad, i wanna punch you in your face
hit you til you see stars
i'm a passionate one and you my master piece
but baby you must be warned
i'm a passionate one and i will break you to pieces
trust me i've done it before
ican't help it(i can't help it)
i'll put you on your knees
and i'll walk over you
just to show you how i feel
i'm in love with you
i love you so much
i wanna slash your tires
to keep you from driven drunk
come over here i want you to taste my poison
to stop you from eating junk
i know your the one 'cause you're not afraid
you're not afraid of me
let's give it some time
see if you get scared 'cause maybe you should be!
a little pain and pleasure never hurt no one
i promise to try better 'cause your the only one
I can't help it(no,no,no)
I'll put you on your knees
I can't help it(yeah,yeah,yeah)
and I'll walk over you
just to show you how I feel
I'm in love with you

I'll put you on your knees(I'll put you on your knees)
I can't help it(yeah,yeah,yeah)
and I'll walk all over you
just to show you how i feel
I saw you on the train today, and you were wearing pink.
You all were wearing pink. Who marketed pink?
Who sold you pink?
Well there’s about a million variations,
There’s about a million paths that light can take to
reach your eye.
In terms of depth and saturation,
Could it be coincidence, you all in one particular hue?
And that’s when I knew, we’d be invincible,
In our power to see, and in color,
And they say we've got no options past what they market
to you,
They say we don’t, but you know we do.
And I saw the pink in your cheeks when you were excited
to see me,
After weeks, it was a pink that could have not been
intended,
To have meaning outside of that place and context,
It was a pink that was real in our lives just then,
So never mind the colors that they’re selling you,
Look outside, there’s colors and they’re all around,
Given all the choices to be chosen from,
I knew that but I chose it
You knew that but you chose it
You chose it after ignoring why, with no time to look
back
No eyes to meet, but a smile you made
What color would I use to paint all over
To open your eyes
In a line, trying to kill off the dizziness
In an agony, trying to make the reason
In a line, without averting the eyes as always
Knowing the reaction, making an empty attempt to make the
reason
The reason why, well...I can't tell
And such a smile
My eyes are...just reflecting
And such a smile
Painful smile
Following the line
It's all so superficial, all these eye-contacts
that are going back to the lies
in a line, as always,without averting the eyes
Knowing the reaction, making an empty attempt to make the
reason
What was I before you
Just another guy who never knew
The right time from the wrong
His left foot from his right
Who’d sleep all day and hang around all night
Before you
Who was I, just the joker in the crowd
If I’d make them laugh how proud I would be
Though the jokes were all on me
Now it’s you and me
You and me
And the world’s a better place
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
What a change love can bring
Put a different light on everything
An ordinary day is filled with something new
And suddenly I feel that I can do anything
You, my love, are the meaning of my life
You’re the reason and the rhyme of my life
I’m so grateful you’re mine
Now it’s you and me
You and me
And the world’s a better place
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
Thank you baby
You and me
by Benjamin Ackerman
conversations on the phone, but I don't wanna talk anymore
you think you know me, but know I'm not so sure
these magic spells have broken free, now all that's left is
you and
i thought i knew you, but now I'm not so sure
and out of the blew I'm blew again
and all i know is who i am
and all i want is to know who to call my friend
the only one I'd ever love, now i think i felt too much
conflicts building up inside my mind
i wish your life was trouble free, i wish your life was life
with me
i don't dare leave you behind
your life- i wish i could set you free
set you free from all the pain i see
what's hurting you is killing me
Famous quotes by Pink:
"She's got a big button — let's push hers!"
"We did what we set out to do, ... We preserved history."
"For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary, ... Sometimes that was $50 a week."
"Safari in the Park"
"The Dark Side of the Moon"
"Cameron Diaz was so cute at the MTV Movie Awards when she pulled her skirt up and wiped her armpits."
"I'm taking my rats. Those are my friends for the tour. Thelma and Louise. They're so cute"
"I was extreme... from skateboarder to hip-hopper to rave child to lead singer of a rock band - I did it all, and all at the same time."
"I change my mind so much I need two boyfriends and a girlfriend."
"[When she interviewed Matt Damon]Is there anything you want me to ask you, besides your phone number?"

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (HQ)
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 6:01
- Updated: 25 Feb 2013
HIT SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE CLASSIC VIDEOS Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall Lifted from "Pink Floyd The Wall" film, this video is actually comprised of two songs: "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" and "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" This video became the official video of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" after the release of the film in 1982. This single is by far Pink Floyd's greatest ever mainstream success, instantly attaining classic status, and is perhaps their most famous piece of work. ABINTW Pt. 2 even became the protest song of a group of South African students during the apartheid regime, the song was subsequently banned in South Africa. The song itself is a protest against the rigidity of British schools, and in particular, the boarding school system Waters would have been part of as a young boy. The poem read out by the schoolteacher is a direct reference to "Money" The schoolteacher in this video was portrayed by the late, great, Scottish actor Alex McAvoy who passed away in June 2005. If you haven't seen "The Wall" I would Highly recommend you to do so.

Time - Pink Floyd
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 6:52
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
This is as old upload. Click for a much higher quality video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUt7qmSvxLI
This is Time (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973), from Pink Floyd, live at P.U.L.S.E; recorded at Earls Court, London, in 1994. Roger Waters, one of the the composers of Time, is not in this show.
Current members of Pink Floyd are: David Gilmour (guitars, lead vocals) • Richard Wright(keyboards, secondary vocals, backing vocals) • Nick Mason(drums, percussion);
Lyrics:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over,
thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Lyrics
I go to the front door
I know there is no one there
The walls, we painted the pictures we put there
the tree, in the backyard, has grown after all these years
The past, it lingers, the smells still in the air
(chorus)
I feel just like a ghost x4
I speak, so clearly my words find no ones ears
Her beauty deceived me, it left me all these tears
I searched for her love, there wasn't any there
She looks right through me, they all do, nobody cares
(chorus)
I feel just like a ghost x4

you're heart is faint while mine sinks so heav i ly
The touch is soft but still it hurts
knowing that I could never be yours. X2
The words once strong but now have drifted away. x4

EVERYTHING BELOW IS A TEST
This is Money (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973), from Pink Floyd, live at P.U.L.S.E; recorded at Earls Court, London, in 1994. Roger Waters, the composer of Money, is not in this show.
Current members of Pink Floyd are: David Gilmour (guitars, lead vocals) • Richard Wright(keyboards, secondary vocals, backing vocals) • Nick Mason(drums, percussion);
Lyrics:
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're o.k.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money it's a hit
But don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

Pink Floyd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Syd Barrett Tribute
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 10:01
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
Just something simple for people to put on their MySpaces, etc. This is the version from the old VHS tape of Pulse (which IMHO had much better camera angles than the new DVD). The beginning and one verse from the middle (at 6:13) had to be edited out to fit it into YouTube's 10 min. requirement. But the whole movie they showed at the concert is here since it's probably supposed to represent Syd's life (or anybody's)....
This is from Earl's Court, London in October of 1994.
This version from this VHS tape shows a lot more of the concept film on the screen than the DVD version (also on YouTube).

Pink Floyd - Sorrow
- Order: Reorder
- Duration: 8:46
- Updated: 01 Jan 1970
lyrics:
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

This song is a mix of electronica/classical & rock. I wrote this to express anger, frustration, revenge & sadness. I have uploaded this a few times but I was having problems with the sound quality. This is the last time that I will upload this. The previous version had a decent amount of views and comments but the sound quality was terrible near the end. I think that in the long run it is better to have a quality version up. If you guys enjoyed this then PLEASE SUBSCRIBE but more importantly PLEASE FAVORITE & Share my video.

Time - Pink Floyd
This is as old upload. Click for a much higher quality video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUt7qmSvxLI
This is Time (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973), from Pink Floyd, live at P.U.L.S.E; recorded at Earls Court, London, in 1994. Roger Waters, one of the the composers of Time, is not in this show.
Current members of Pink Floyd are: David Gilmour (guitars, lead vocals) • Richard Wright(keyboards, secondary vocals, backing vocals) • Nick Mason(drums, percussion);
Lyrics:
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over,
thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Lyrics
I go to the front door
I know there is no one there
The walls, we painted the pictures we put there
the tree, in the backyard, has grown after all these years
The past, it lingers, the smells still in the air
(chorus)
I feel just like a ghost x4
I speak, so clearly my words find no ones ears
Her beauty deceived me, it left me all these tears
I searched for her love, there wasn't any there
She looks right through me, they all do, nobody cares
(chorus)
I feel just like a ghost x4

LYRICS
by
Tori Workman
In the darkness of this room
somehow I still seem to find you.
now what's here is you and me
you're heart is faint while mine sinks so heav i ly
The touch is soft but still it hurts
knowing that I could never be yours. X2
The words once strong but now have drifted away. x4
In the darkness of this room
somehow I still seem to find you.
The touch is soft but still it hurts
knowing that I could never be yours.
I guess I gave it all away
as I listened to what they say.
as I listened to what they say.

EVERYTHING BELOW IS A TEST
This is Money (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973), from Pink Floyd, live at P.U.L.S.E; recorded at Earls Court, London, in 1994. Roger Waters, the composer of Money, is not in this show.
Current members of Pink Floyd are: David Gilmour (guitars, lead vocals) • Richard Wright(keyboards, secondary vocals, backing vocals) • Nick Mason(drums, percussion);
Lyrics:
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're o.k.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money get back
I'm all right jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money it's a hit
But don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jet
Money it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

Pink is any of the colors between bluish red (purple) to red, of medium to high brightness and of low to moderate saturation.[2] Commonly used for Valentine's Day and Easter, pink is sometimes referred to as "the color of love." The use of the word for the color known today as pink was first recorded in the late 17th century.[3]
Although pink is roughly considered just as a tint of red,[4][5] most variations of pink lie between red, white and magenta colors. This means that the pink's hue is somewhat between red and magenta.[6][7][8][9]
Roseus is a Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink." Lucretius used the word to describe the dawn in his epic poem On the Nature of Things (De Rerum Natura).[10] The word is also used in the binomial names of several species, such as the Rosy Starling (Sturnus roseus) and Catharanthus roseus. In most Indo-European languages, the color pink is called rosa. In Persian, it is called "Souraty," meaning "Color of the face." In Hindi, it is called "Gulabi," meaning "Colour of a rose."
Etymology[link]
The color pink is named after the flowers called pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus. The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers—the verb "to pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (possibly from German "pinken" = to peck).[11] As noted and referenced above, the word "pink" was first used as a noun to refer to the color known today as pink in the 17th century. The verb sense of the word "pink" continues to be used today in the name of the hand tool known as pinking shears.
Pinke[link]
Main article: Pinke (color)
In the 17th century, the word pink or pinke was also used to describe a yellowish pigment, which was mixed with blue colors to yield greenish colors. Thomas Jenner's A Book of Drawing, Limning, Washing (1652) categorizes "Pink & blew bice" amongst the greens (p. 38),[12] and specifies several admixtures of greenish colors made with pink—e.g. "Grasse-green is made of Pink and Bice, it is shadowed with Indigo and Pink ... French-green of Pink and Indico [shadowed with] Indico" (pp. 38–40). In William Salmon's Polygraphice (1673), "Pink yellow" is mentioned amongst the chief yellow pigments (p. 96), and the reader is instructed to mix it with either Saffron or Ceruse for "sad" or "light" shades thereof, respectively (p. 98).
In gender[link]
- The use of pink as distinctive of girls can be dated back at least to 1868, in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, when, after being shown boy and girl twins, Laurie asks:
Most remarkable children I ever saw. Which is which?...Amy put a blue ribbon on the boy and a pink on the girl, French fashion, so you can always tell.[13]
University of Maryland Professor Jo B. Paoletti, author of book Pink and Blue: Telling the Girls From the Boys in America, considers this was common usage in French orphanages during the 18th century,[14] but this was not the case everywhere. In the United States, there was no established rule:
In 1855 the New York Times reported on a "baby show" put on by P.T. Barnum, exhibiting "one hundred and odd babies" dressed in pinks, blues, and other colors seemingly without regard to gender. ... A Times fashion report from 1880 has boys and girls dressed alike in white, pink, blue, or violet, and another from 1892 says young girls were wearing a variety of colors that spring, including several shades of blue[15]
There are theories indicating an origin of this costume in the 20th century. Zucker and Bradly say that it began in the 1920s[16] and other authors suggest the 1910s.[17] An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."[18] From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary.[19][20][21] Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.[22]
- Some feminists have sought to 'reclaim' the color pink. For example, the Swedish feminist party Feminist Initiative and the American activist women's group Code Pink: Women for Peace use pink as their color.
- The pink ribbon is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. Pink was chosen partially because it is so strongly associated with femininity.[23]
- It has been suggested that females prefer pink because of a preference for reddish things like ripe fruits and healthy faces,[24] but the associated study has been criticized as "bad science".[25]
- The phrase "pink-collar worker" refers, in the West, to persons working in fields or jobs conventionally regarded as "women's work."
In sexuality[link]
- Whereas Jewish people were forced to wear a yellow star of David under Nazi rule, men imprisoned on accusations of homosexuality were forced to wear a pink triangle. Nowadays, a pink triangle (sometimes pointing up, contrary to Nazi usage) is often worn with pride.[26]
- A Dutch newsgroup about homosexuality is called nl.roze (roze being the Dutch word for pink), while in Britain, Pink News is a leading gay newspaper and online news service. There is a magazine called Pink for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual (LGBT) community which has different editions for various metropolitan areas.[27] In France Pink TV is an LGBT cable channel.
- In business, the pink pound or pink dollar refers to the spending power of the LGBT community.[28] Advertising agencies sometimes call the gay market the pink economy.
- Though long discontinued, the now mainstream gay-oriented magazine The Advocate for many years of its early history featured a sometimes sizable section of personal ads and mostly sexually oriented ads printed on pink paper and referred to as "the pink pages." As the gay rights movement gained increased mainstream momentum and public acceptance, and as the magazine itself became less underground and was distributed more widely on newsstands in "middle America," the publishers made the section more easily removable for those who preferred not to view/keep it with the main body of the magazine, and The Advocate eventually ceased to include the "pink pages" at all.

De Bretteville arranged the squares of paper to form a “quilt” from which posters were printed and disseminated throughout Los Angeles.[29] She was often called "Pinky" as a result.

Ruess met Antonoff after The Format toured with Steel Train.[3] The three began working together in New Jersey within a week. Ruess sang melodies while the other two provided music for them.[4] The first demo song the band recorded was "Benson Hedges," which was made available for free in Spin's September 20, 2008 article on the band.[5] Fun approached Steven McDonald, who produced The Format's album Dog Problems with Ruess, to produce their debut album. McDonald was enthusiastic about the project and stated, "I can’t believe what we’re working on here. This crushes anything I’ve ever done."[4]
[edit] 2009–2010: Aim and Ignite
Recording took place in the fall of 2008. The band's first single, "At Least I'm Not as Sad (As I Used to Be)" was made available as a free download on the band's Myspace page on April 6, 2009.[6] Aim and Ignite was released on August 25, 2009 and had positive reviews. AbsolutePunk.net's Drew Beringer praised the album, stating it was "what a pop album 'should' sound like" and "the most essential pop album of 2009."[7] Allmusic called the album "progressive, but in the best possible way" and admired Ruess's lyrics for "investigating the larger truths of life...with a witty approach that keeps the songs bubbling merrily along on a positive note".[8] Dave de Sylvia of Sputnikmusic wrote, "Aim and Ignite isn’t the most consistent pop album around," but he ultimately commended the album as "a superbly mixed and arranged album made by musicians who clearly understand the limits and potential of pop music".[9] Estella Hung of PopMatters was less impressed with the album. She praised songs "Be Calm" and "The Gambler", but criticized the lyrics and production of the album's early tracks. Hung concluded that while Aim and Ignite is "pretty original to say the least", it "fails to live up to the Format’s last outing."[10] Popdose's Ken Shane called the album "an interesting and unusual listen." Shane applauded the album's songwriting and said "many of the songs are really good," but he objected to the "cute" production, desiring to hear the band "in a more stripped-down form." He ended his review with: "I have a similar problem with Dr. Dog, a band that was recommended to me by a number of people. I think much of their recorded work is too fussed over, but when I saw them live and their sound was more stripped down out of necessity, emphasizing their powerful songwriting, I thought they were wonderful. Perhaps the same fate awaits me with Fun."[11] The album reached number 26 on Sputnikmusic's top 50 albums of 2009. The album peaked at 71 on the US album charts.
Fun began its first North American tour on November 8, 2008 with Jack's Mannequin.[12] The debut album Aim and Ignite was released on August 25, 2009.[13] In reviewing the album, The Washington Post called some of the arrangements "theatrical, much like those on Panic! at the Disco's 2005 debut".[14] In February 2010, Fun supported Jack's Mannequin on their headline tour, along with Vedera which was followed by their first UK appearances in March. Their current touring band also includes Will Noon, Rob Kroehler, Emily Moore, Nate Harold, and Jon "Jonny Thunder" Goldstein.[15] In April 2010, Fun supported Paramore's headline tour. Other support for the tour includes Relient K and Harriet Ellis of Summer Beats.[16] The band then embarked on a full UK tour in May. On August 4, 2010, Fun announced that they had signed with label Fueled by Ramen.[17]
On August 14, 2010, it was announced via the Official Paramore Fan Club that Fun would be opening for Paramore on their November UK tour.[18] In 2010 Fun's single, "Walking the Dog," was used in a commercial for the travel site Expedia.com.[19] In 2010, Will Noon (formerly of Straylight Run) played drums with Fun on tour, according to Noon's Twitter page.[20] To celebrate the Paramore UK tour and the band’s new single ‘Walking The Dog’, Hassle Records gave away a free download of an acoustic version of the track.[21] On April 27, 2011, a video of the band performing a new song entitled "Carry On" was uploaded to YouTube.[22]

On February 13, 2012, the band released an album stream on their website along with a note from Ruess thanking fans for their ongoing support. Ruess states he is "over the moon about what you're about to hear and falling asleep knowing that as soon as I wake up, this will no longer be a dream."[25]
On March 7, 2012, Fun's single "We Are Young" reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This makes Fun the first multi-member rock band to have a #1 Billboard debut on the Hot 100 since Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" in December 2001/January 2002.[26] On the same day, "We Are Young" was used by Apple in a promotional video of their recent retail development in Grand Central Terminal.[27] On April 11, 2012, Billboard.com announced that Fun's "We Are Young" also made Digital Sales history. As the song was at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for a sixth consecutive week, it has become the first, and at this time only, song that has ever gained 300,000+ downloads for seven weeks straight.[28]
On March 19, 2012, Fun was announced as a performing band at the Bonnaroo 2012 music festival.

Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American recording artist and actress. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection",[6] the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).
In 1999, Aguilera came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera, which was a commercial success spawning three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100—"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)."[7] Her sophomore and her debut Latin-pop album, Mi Reflejo (2000), a Christmas third studio album, My Kind of Christmas (2000), and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, though she was displeased with her lack of input in her music and image.[8] After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002).[9] The album's second single, "Beautiful", was a commercial success and helped the album's commercial performance amidst controversy over Aguilera's image.[10][11][12] Aguilera followed up Stripped with the soul, jazz and blues inspired, Back to Basics (2006), released to positive critical acclaim.[13] The album produced three singles "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". Four years later Aguilera released her sixth studio album, Bionic (2010), which incorporated aspects of R&B, electropop, and synthpop and was met with mixed reviews and low sales.[14][15][16][17] Aguilera's seventh studio album is set to be released in 2012.
Aside from being known for her vocal ability, music videos and image, musically, she includes themes of dealing with public scrutiny, her childhood, and female empowerment in her music.[18] Apart from her work in music, she has also dedicated much of her time as a philanthropist for charities, human rights and world issues which include her work as a UN ambassador for the World Food Programme.[19][20] She made her feature film debut in the musical Burlesque (2010), earning Aguilera a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song. Aguilera's work has earned her numerous awards and accolades, including a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, four Grammy Awards and one Latin Grammy Award, amongst seventeen and three nominations respectively. Rolling Stone ranked her number fifty-eight on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, ranking as the youngest and only artist on the list under the age of thirty.[21] She was ranked the 20th Artist of the 2000–09 decade by Billboard[22] and is the second top selling single artist of the 2000s behind Madonna.[23] Aguilera's albums sales are estimated at over 50 million units worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.[24][25] Aguilera is currently a coach and judge on The Voice.
Life and career[link]
1980–98: Early life and career beginnings[link]
Aguilera was born in Staten Island, New York, to Fausto Wagner Xavier Aguilera, a sergeant in the US Army at the time, and Shelly Loraine (née Fidler), a Spanish teacher. Aguilera's father was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador[26] and her mother, who is American, is of German, Irish, Welsh, and Dutch ancestry.[27] Her father was stationed at Earnest Harmon Air Force Base in Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador and Japan. Aguilera lived with both her father and mother, up until their divorce when she was seven years old. Aguilera then lived with her mother, and her younger sister Rachel, at her grandmother's home in Rochester, Pennsylvania, a town outside Pittsburgh. According to both Aguilera and her mother, her father was very controlling, as well as physically and emotionally abusive. In an interview with Rolling Stone Aguilera revealed, "there was so much domestic violence going on when I grew up with my dad travelling in the military. I think the reason that my drive was so strong and I was so passionate about music was because I grew up in an environment of domestic violence."[28] She later sang about her difficult childhood in the songs "I'm OK" on Stripped, and "Oh Mother" on Back to Basics. Even though he has made several attempts to reconnect with her, Aguilera ruled out any chance of a reunion.[29] Since then, her mother has married a paramedic named Jim Kearns, and has changed her name.[30]
As a child, Aguilera aspired to be a singer. She was known locally as "the little girl with the big voice",[29] singing in local talent shows and competitions. She attended Rochester Area School District, Marshall Middle School near Wexford and North Allegheny Intermediate High School. On March 15, 1990, she appeared on Star Search singing "A Sunday Kind of Love", but lost the competition at number 2. Soon after losing on Star Search, she returned home and appeared on Pittsburgh's KDKA-TV's Wake Up With Larry Richert to perform the same song. Throughout her youth in Pittsburgh, Aguilera sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey, Pittsburgh Steelers football and Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games, including during the 1992 Stanley Cup Finals.[31] Her talent was kept a secret to avoid bullying of other children. Following her television appearances Aguilera experienced resentment and bullying including an incident in which her peers slashed the tires on her family's car.[32] Following several incidents Aguilera was later home schooled.[29] Aguilera recalls, "doing what I did and maybe being a little smaller, I was definitely picked on and bullied for the attention that I got. It was definitely unwanted attention and there was a lot of unfairness about it."[33]
In 1991, Aguilera auditioned for a role on The Mickey Mouse Club; however, she did not meet the age requirements. Two years later, she joined the cast, performing musical numbers and sketch comedy, until the show's cancellation in 1994.[34] Her co-stars included Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Ryan Gosling and Keri Russell where they nicknamed her "the Diva"[35] for her performance style and voice. At the age of fourteen, Aguilera recorded her first song, "All I Wanna Do", a hit duet with Japanese singer Keizo Nakanishi.[36] In 1997, she represented the United States at the international Golden Stag Festival with a two-song set.[37] Aguilera entered talent contests on "teen night" at the Pegasus Lounge, a gay and lesbian nightclub in Pittsburgh,[38] and later at Lilith Fair.[39] In 1998, Aguilera sent in a demo of her singing Whitney Houston's "Run to You" to Disney who were looking for a singer to record the song "Reflection" for their animated feature film Mulan (1998).[40] The demo caught the attention of producer and label executive Ron Fair who would later mentor her throughout her career and led to Aguilera earning a contract with RCA Records the same week.[9] "Reflection" peaked within the top twenty on the Adult Contemporary Singles Chart, and it was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.
[edit] 1999–01: Christina Aguilera, Mi Reflejo and new management
Under the exclusive representation of Steve Kurtz, Aguilera's self-titled debut album Christina Aguilera was released on August 24, 1999. It reached the top of the Billboard 200 and Canadian album charts, shipping eight million copies in the US[41] and over seventeen million copies worldwide.[42] The album is also included in the Top 100 Albums of All Time list of The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) based on US sales.[43] Released during the teen pop era of 1999 the album was well received by several critics, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic writes that Aguilera's debut "remains firmly within the teen-oriented dance-pop genre, but done right." Concluding that the album is "lightweight in the best possible sense – breezy, fun, engaging, and enjoyable on each repeated listen. Out of the deluge of teen-pop albums in 1999, this feels like the best of the lot."[44] Her debut single, "Genie in a Bottle" was an instant hit reaching No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and in several countries worldwide. Her follow-up singles "What a Girl Wants" and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" topped the Hot 100 as well during 1999 and 2000 while "I Turn to You" reached number three. She is one of the few artists to have multiple No.1 singles from a debut album in Billboard's history.[45] She made a cameo appearance on an episode of Beverly Hills, 90210, performed on MTV's New Year's Special as MTV's first artist of the millennium, and the Super Bowl XXXIV halftime show. Aguilera wanted to display the range and audacity in her voice during the promotion of the album, and performed acoustic sets and appeared on television shows accompanied only by a piano. At the 42nd Grammy Awards Aguilera received a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy nomination for "Genie in a Bottle" and despite earlier predictions, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.[46]
In 2000, Aguilera began recording her first Spanish-language album with producer Rudy Pérez in Miami.[47][48] Later in 2000, Aguilera, first emphasized her Latin heritage by releasing her first Spanish album, Mi Reflejo on September 12, 2000. This album contained Spanish versions of songs from her English debut as well as new Spanish tracks. Though some criticized Aguilera for trying to cash in on the Latin music boom at the time. According to Pérez, Aguilera was only semi-fluent, while recording. She understood the language, because she has grown up with her father, who is a native of Ecuador. He added "Her Latin roots are undeniable".[47] The album peaked at number twenty-seven on the Billboard 200 and went No.1 on the Billboard Latin charts for a record 20 weeks. In 2001, it won Aguilera a Latin Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Album. The album was later certified 6× Platinum (Latin field) in the US Aguilera won the World Music Award and Billboard award as the best selling Latin artist that year. Aguilera also released a Christmas album, My Kind of Christmas, on October 24, 2000 and performed "The Christmas Song" at the White House that year.[41] The album's only single, "The Christmas Song" made Aguilera one of three artists to take the song into the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100.[49] The single and My Kind of Christmas were both certified Platinum in the US[50][51] Aguilera was Billboard's top female artist for 2000.[52]
Aguilera's first concert tour, Christina Aguilera: In Concert (also known as "Sears & Levis Tour ") began in the summer of 2000 in the US and ended early 2001 where she toured South America and Asia. A concert special aired on ABC titled My Reflection which was released to DVD and certified Gold in the US.[53] Aguilera was rumored to have dated MTV VJ Carson Daly.[54] Rumors of their relationship were fueled after the release of Eminem's song, "The Real Slim Shady" in which he also insinuated a romance between her and rocker Fred Durst. Aguilera responded saying the lyrics were "disgusting, offensive and, above all, not true."[55] Their feud ended two years later backstage at the Video Music Awards after Aguilera presented the rapper an award onstage.[56] She dated Puerto Rican dancer Jorge Santos. Santos appeared on her tour and music videos throughout 2000. They dated for nearly two years until the relationship ended on September 11, 2001.[57] He remained her dancer well into 2002.[58]
Ricky Martin asked Aguilera to duet with him on the track "Nobody Wants to Be Lonely" from his album Sound Loaded; released in 2001 as the album's second single. The single reached No.1 on the World Chart and top ten in several countries. In 2001, Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mýa, and Pink were chosen to remake Labelle's 1975 single "Lady Marmalade" for the film Moulin Rouge! and its soundtrack. The song peaked at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks and was the most successful airplay-only single in history.[59] It also reached number one in eleven other countries and earned all four performers a Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Aguilera's appearance in the music video was compared to that of Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.[60] The video won two MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year in 2001, where Aguilera accepted the award saying, "I guess the big hair paid off."[61]
That same year, the single "Just Be Free" emerged into record stores which was one of the demos Aguilera recorded when she was around fifteen years old. When RCA Records discovered the single, they advised fans not to purchase it.[62] Months later, Warlock Records was set to release Just Be Free, an album which contains the demo tracks. Aguilera filed a breach of contract and unfair competition suit against Warlock and the album's producers to block the release.[63] Instead, the two parties came to a settlement to release the album. Aguilera lent out her name, likeness and image for an unspecified amount of damages. Many of the details of the lawsuit remain confidential. When the album was released in August 2001, it had a photograph of Aguilera when she was fifteen years old.[64]
Although Aguilera's debut album was commercially successful, she was dissatisfied with the music and image her management had created for her. Aguilera was marketed as a bubblegum pop singer because of the genre's upward financial trend.[65] She mentioned plans of her next album to have much more depth, both musically and lyrically.[66] Aguilera's views of Steve Kurtz's influence in matters of the singer's creative direction, the role of being her exclusive personal manager and overscheduling had in part caused her to seek legal means of terminating their management contract. In October 2000, Aguilera filed a breach of fiduciary duty lawsuit against her manager Kurtz for improper, undue and inappropriate influence over her professional activities, as well as fraud. According to legal documents, Kurtz did not protect her rights and interests. Instead, he took action that was for his own interest, at the cost of hers. She petitioned the California State Labor Commission to nullify the contract. Aguilera revealed while recording her then upcoming album, "I was being overworked. You find out that someone you thought was a friend is stealing money behind your back, and it's heartbreaking. I put faith in the people around me, and unfortunately, it bit me in the butt."[67] After terminating Kurtz's services, Irving Azoff was hired as her new manager.
[edit] 2002–05: New image, Stripped and marriage
On October 26, 2002, Aguilera's fourth studio album, Stripped, was released. The album sold more than 330,000 copies in the first week and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. Unlike her previous work, the album showcased Aguilera's raunchier side.[68] The majority of Stripped was co-written by Aguilera (who had recently signed a global music publishing contract with BMG Music Publishing), and was influenced by many different subjects and music styles, including contemporary R&B, gospel, soul, balladry, pop rock, and hip hop.[69] The majority of the album was produced by Scott Storch and singer-songwriter Linda Perry who produced her more personal records. Rockwilder and singer Alicia Keys also contributed a track each. Upon initial release, the album was very well received by critics, although Aguilera's vocals were overlooked as she began to cultivate a more sexually provocative image.[70] After the release of the album, she took part in photoshoots for magazines, many of these photographs featured her nude or semi-nude. Her cover for Rolling Stone,[71] featured the singer only wearing boots and a well-placed electric guitar. It was during this time Aguilera referred to herself as "Xtina", even getting a tattoo of her nickname on the back of her neck and several piercings.[72]
Initially, the raunchy image had a negative effect on Aguilera in the US, especially after the release of her controversial "Dirrty" music video.[11] She denied that this change was a matter of publicity, claiming that the image better reflected her true personality than did the image she cultivated back in 1999. Aguilera defended the video stating it was about power and control adding, "I'm also at the forefront. I'm in the power position, in complete command of everything around me."[41] While the video for "Dirrty" became very popular on MTV, it disappointed on the US singles chart. However, the single was a hit worldwide, reaching No.1 in the UK and Ireland. The second single, "Beautiful" received critical praise. The classically influenced ballad reached number one in several countries and peaked at No.2 in the US. "Beautiful" earned Aguilera the Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Three more singles ("Fighter", "Can't Hold Us Down" featuring Lil' Kim, "The Voice Within") were released in the following two years and were hits that helped the album stay on the charts for the next two years. Stripped stayed on the U.S. and UK album charts well into 2004, and went on to be certified four-times platinum in the US with over thirteen million copies sold worldwide.[73] It appeared at number ten on Billboard's year-end album chart and Aguilera was the top female artist for 2003.[74] Kelly Clarkson's second single "Miss Independent" was co-written by Aguilera, having been half-finished for Stripped.
Aguilera joined Justin Timberlake that June on the final leg of his international Justified tour, held in the US. This portion of the tour became a co-headliner called the Justified/Stripped Tour. In August, an overhead lighting grid collapsed from the ceiling of the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, causing major damage to the sound and video equipment below. Because the collapse occurred hours before the show, only a few stagehands were injured, but a few shows were cancelled or postponed. In the fourth quarter of that year, Aguilera continued to tour internationally without Timberlake, and changed the name of the tour to the Stripped World Tour. She also dyed her hair black. It was one of the top-grossing tours of that year, and sold out most of its venues. Rolling Stone readers named it the best tour of the year.[75] That same year she hosted the 2003 MTV Europe Music Awards and was a special guest performer with the Pussycat Dolls' dance troupe performing at the Roxy Theatre and Viper Room in Los Angeles. She also appeared on a Maxim spread alongside them, her second Maxim cover that year set record sales for the issue making it the top selling issue to date. By the end of the year she topped the annual Hot 100 list saying, "we had fun working with certain clothes, or the lack thereof."[76][77][78]
Aguilera's first DVD live-recording from a concert tour, Stripped Live in the U.K., was released in November 2004. In light of the tour's success, another U.S. tour was scheduled to begin in mid-2004 with a new theme. The tour however was scrapped because of the vocal cord injuries Aguilera suffered shortly before the tour's opening date. In a tribute to Madonna's performance at the inaugural MTV Video Music Awards, Aguilera performed a kiss with the singer-actress at the 2003 edition of the ceremony in August. The incident occurred during the opening performance of Madonna's songs "Like a Virgin" and "Hollywood" with fellow popstar Britney Spears.[41] Also in 2004, she hosted a Saturday Night Live episode which included a Sex & The City skit where she portrayed Samantha Jones revealing to everyone she was a man the entire time.[79]
Aguilera later decided to embrace a more mature image; this move was met with more praise than criticism, with articles using punch lines such as "From Crass to Class."[80] She eventually dyed her hair cherry blonde and recorded a jingle, "Hello", for a Mercedes-Benz ad. Shortly after, she dyed her hair flaxen blonde and cut it short, and took on a Marilyn Monroe look; she is one of the main proponents (along with Dita Von Teese, Gwen Stefani, and Ashley Judd) in bringing back the 1920s–1940s Hollywood glamour look.[81][82] In late summer 2004, Aguilera released two singles. The first, "Car Wash", was a remake of the Rose Royce disco song recorded as a collaboration with rapper Missy Elliott for the soundtrack to the film Shark Tale. She voiced a small singing part in the film playing a Rastafarian jellyfish in the film's closing musical number. The second song was also a collaboration, but this time as a second single from one of Nelly's double-release albums, Sweat, titled "Tilt Ya Head Back". Both singles failed commercially in the US, but did considerably better in other parts of the world. Aguilera collaborated with jazz artist Herbie Hancock on a cover of Leon Russell's "A Song for You" recorded for Hancock's album Possibilities, released in August 2005. Aguilera and Hancock were later nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. She helped open the 50th Anniversary for Disneyland performing "When You Wish upon a Star", and she also collaborated with Andrea Bocelli on the song "Somos Novios" for his album Amore. Aguilera began dating music marketing executive Jordan Bratman in 2002. Their engagement was announced in February 2005,[83] and they married on November 19, 2005, in a Napa Valley estate.[84]
[edit] 2006–09: Back to Basics, motherhood and greatest hits album
Aguilera's fifth studio album, Back to Basics was released August 15, 2006. The album debuted at No.1 in the US, the UK and eleven other countries. Aguilera described the double CD as "a throwback to the 20s, 30s, and 40s-style jazz, blues, and feel-good soul music, but with a modern twist."[85] The album received generally positive reviews, although many critics commented on the album's length saying, "At one disc, this would have been nothing short of masterful."[86] A review in AllMusic adds, "Back to Basics also makes clear that Stripped was a necessary artistic move for Christina: she needed to get that out of her system in order to create her own style, one that is self-consciously stylized, stylish, and sexy."[87] The critically acclaimed lead single "Ain't No Other Man" was a substantial success, reaching No. 2 on the World Chart, No.6 in the US, and No.2 in the UK. Producers on the album included DJ Premier, Kwamé, Linda Perry, and Mark Ronson. The follow-up singles did very well in different regions, "Hurt" in Europe and "Candyman" in the Pacific. She co-directed both music videos, the former with Floria Sigismondi who directed her "Fighter" video, and the latter, "Candyman", with director/photographer Matthew Rolston which was inspired by The Andrews Sisters.[88] Back to Basics has sold 4.5 million units worldwide,[89] with over 1.7 million sold in the US.[90]
In late 2006, Aguilera collaborated with Sean "Diddy" Combs on a track, titled "Tell Me", from his album Press Play. She also began the Back to Basics Tour in Europe[91] followed by a 41-date North American tour in early 2007.[92] After this, she toured Asia and Australia, where it was supposed to end on August 3, however she canceled her dates in Melbourne and her final two in Auckland due to an illness.[93] Her extravagant arena tour included cabaret, three-ring circus and juke joint sets and 10 piece costumes designed by Roberto Cavalli.[94] She released her concert DVD Back to Basics: Live and Down Under the following year. The tour grossed nearly 50 million by the end of the year in North America and an additional 40 million worldwide in her Europe and Australia dates, grossing almost 90 million by the end of the tour.[95][96] It was the most successful US tour by a female in 2007.[97]
At the 49th Grammy Awards, Aguilera again won the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Ain't No Other Man". She made a noteworthy performance at the ceremony paying tribute to James Brown with her rendition of his song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World".[98] In January 2007, she was named the 19th richest woman in entertainment by Forbes, with a net worth of US$60 million.[99] Aguilera performed "Steppin' Out With My Baby" with Tony Bennett on his NBC special Tony Bennett: An American Classic and on Saturday Night Live. They performed at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards where both specials received Emmys. "Steppin' Out" was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.
Aguilera confirmed she was pregnant on November 4, 2007,[100] though Paris Hilton accidentally revealed her pregnancy several weeks prior during a party Aguilera hosted.[101] She gave birth to her son, Max Liron Bratman, in Los Angeles on January 12, 2008 and held a bris for him with Bratman, who is of Jewish descent, where the baby was circumcised in accordance with Jewish practice.[102] Aguilera was reportedly paid $1.5 million by People for her son's baby pictures—the sixth most expensive celebrity baby photos ever taken.[103]
In 2008, Aguilera appeared in the Martin Scorsese documentary Shine a Light which chronicles a two day Rolling Stones concert in New York City's Beacon Theatre. The film features Aguilera performing "Live With Me" alongside Mick Jagger. Shine a Light premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and was released worldwide on April 4, 2008. She also had brief cameo in the comedy film Get Him to the Greek,[104] and appeared as a guest judge on the sixth season of Project Runway on Lifetime Television. She and designer Bob Mackie were the inspiration for the challenge in which they had to design a stage outfit for Aguilera. To commemorate Aguilera's ten years in the music industry, RCA Records released, Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits on November 11, 2008, exclusively at Target stores in the US. The greatest hits included her first three number one singles, and other songs released from her previous three albums. "Lady Marmalade" and several Spanish singles from Mi Reflejo were included in the worldwide releases. The album's only single, "Keeps Gettin' Better", was premiered at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, which debuted and peaked at No.7 on the Billboard Hot 100, her highest debut on the chart. Following the greatest hits, Aguilera took over a year hiatus in 2009 working on her then upcoming album and film. She was one of Billboard's Top 20 Artists of the Decade in their year-end charts.[105]
[edit] 2010–11: Bionic, Burlesque and The Voice
Aguilera's sixth studio album Bionic was released on June 8, 2010. The album's producers included Tricky Stewart, Samuel Dixon, Polow da Don, Le Tigre, Switch, Ester Dean, songwriters Sam Endicott, Sia Furler, Claude Kelly, Linda Perry and collaborations with M.I.A., Santigold, Nicki Minaj, and Peaches. Bionic's material consisted of many mainstream and pop records along with electronic and dance music. Two of the album's three singles, "Not Myself Tonight" and "You Lost Me" peaked at No.1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Charts[106] but were unsuccessful elsewhere. "Woohoo", featuring rapper Nicki Minaj, was also released as the album's second single. The album was released to mixed reviews from music critics,[107][15] with Jon Pareles of The New York Times writing that the singer's new music direction "makes her sound as peer-pressured as a pop singer can be."[108] Allison Stewart of The Washington Post described the album as being "noisy, robotic and overstuffed" adding that the disc's "greatest disappointments" is its "virtual abandonment" of Aguilera's voice.[109] She concluded that Aguilera attempts "to do it all," which was to try to "revel in her newfound domesticity, to wrest her crown from Gaga and to reestablish her sex kitten bona fides."[109] Sales of Bionic were underwhelming in the US compared to her previous releases selling 110,000 copies in its first week landing at No.3.[110][111] It has since sold 295,000 copies in the US.[112] Shortly after the album's release, further promotion ended and a scheduled summer tour for the album was cancelled due to "inadequate rehearsal time".[113] "You Lost Me" was her first single to not chart the Hot 100 while Bionic was her first English studio album not to receive a Grammy nomination. Aguilera later responded in an interview saying, "I was really proud of that record. I think there was a lot of promotion issues, coming from a standpoint of how everything resulted. Nothing is ever a setback. If anything, it just motivates you for what’s next."[114]
Aguilera announced that she and Bratman had separated, saying in a statement, "Although Jordan and I are separated, our commitment to our son Max remains as strong as ever."[115][116] Aguilera filed for divorce from Bratman on October 14, 2010, seeking joint legal and physical custody of their son, and specifying September 11, 2010, as the date of separation.[117][118] They later reached a settlement agreement and custody deal, details of their agreement were private.[119] Their divorce was finalized on April 15, 2011.[120] The following month, Aguilera appeared as herself on the Entourage season seven finale as a client/friend of Ari Gold.[121] On November 15, 2010, Aguilera received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[122]
In November 2010, Aguilera appeared in her first feature film, the musical Burlesque. She portrayed a small town girl, Ali Rose, who finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club.[123] Aguilera performed eight of the musical numbers on the film's soundtrack released on November 22, 2010, and co-wrote a number of the tracks working with producers and writers including Tricky Stewart, Sia Furler, Samuel Dixon, Linda Perry, Claude Kelly, Danja, and Ron Fair. The remaining two tracks were sung by Cher, who co-starred alongside Aguilera. The soundtrack debuted in the top 20 in the US and was certified Gold.[124][125] The film was written and directed by Steve Antin who wrote the part of Ali specifically with Aguilera in mind.[126] Aguilera's co-stars also included Cam Gigandet, Eric Dane, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci. Several critics praised Aguilera's performance. A review in TIME states, "Aguilera might not be to your taste, or mine, but in terms of sheer power, she's impressive. If Ali were real, she'd have already been discovered on American Idol."[127] While Variety wrote, "Aguilera, while undeniably entertaining when her character is onstage, cannot spin the slight backstory into anything resembling a full-blooded person."[128] Though Burlesque was released to mixed reviews from critics,[129][130] the film received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy and earned Aguilera, writer/producer Sia Furler and Samuel Dixon, a nomination for Best Original Song for the track "Bound to You". The soundtrack also earned Aguilera a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack. Burlesque has grossed over $90 million worldwide.[131]
Following the release of Burlesque, Aguilera collaborated with rapper T.I. on the track, "Castle Walls" from his album No Mercy. Aguilera performed the U.S. national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner", during the Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011, and created embarrassment when she omitted a line of the anthem and messed up the song's lyrics.[132] She later apologized, telling CNN that "I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through."[133] The following week, Aguilera, alongside Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Yolanda Adams, and Florence Welch opened the 53rd Grammy Awards paying tribute to Aretha Franklin.
Aguilera began dating musician and production assistant, Matt Rutler whom she met during the filming of Burlesque. Her personal life was the subject of scrutiny;[19] and reports over out of control behavior, excessive drinking,[134][135] and a reported confrontation with her co-star Julianne Hough.[136][137] On March 1, 2011, Aguilera was arrested for public intoxication in West Hollywood as her boyfriend was arrested for DWI.[138] She was later released on bail and no charges were filed.[139][140] Although the L.A. Sheriff's office stated Aguilera's mug shot would not be released to the public, E! News obtained the mug shot which circulated social networks and the media shortly after her release.[141] Rutler's DWI charge was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, after his BAC was determined as below the legal limit.[142]
Aguilera signed to be a judge on The Voice, which debuted on NBC in April 2011. Aguilera, alongside other musicians Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green serve as judges and coaches, with Carson Daly as the show's host. The show's first episode was well-received, and delivered the strongest ratings for a series premiere on a major network since Undercover Boss debuted after the Super Bowl in February 2010.[143][144] The show's first season was a ratings success for NBC following its debut.[145][146] Aguilera performed "Moves Like Jagger" on The Voice – the single with Maroon 5 on which she is featured, from their album Hands All Over. The song was an instant hit reaching No.2 in the UK, No.1 on the World Chart and earned Aguilera her fifth No.1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, a decade after her last No.1, "Lady Marmalade".[147] The single became the first 4 million-seller for both artists and marks the first time two former Best New Artist Grammy Award winners have collaborated on a Hot 100 hit.[49] "Moves Like Jagger" was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammy Awards and has since sold over 7 million copies worldwide, establishing itself among the best-selling singles of all time.[148].
2012–present: Seventh studio album and current projects[link]
The second season of The Voice premiered following Super Bowl XLVI. Aguilera performed a cover of "At Last" by Etta James at James' funeral on January 28, 2012.[149][150] Aguilera recorded her first Spanish-language track in over a decade titled "Casa de Mi Padre" which was released as the title song for the soundtrack and film of the same name.[151] In regards to her upcoming album, Aguilera stated that she is recording a new studio album in an interview with Live with Regis and Kelly.[152] No official date has been announced but the album is expected to be released in 2012.[153]
Artistry[link]
Vocal ability[link]
Aguilera possesses a soprano[154][155] vocal range and has been referred to as the "voice of her generation" and a blue eyed soul singer.[156][157] Aguilera also topped COVE's list of the 100 Best Pop Vocalists with a score of 50/50[158][159] and came fifth in MTV's 22 Greatest Voices in Music.[160] Her rendition of "It's A Man's Man's Man's World" at the 49th Grammy Awards ranked third in the Grammy's Greatest Moments List behind Celine Dion's performance of "My Heart Will Go On" and Green Day's performance of "American Idiot". In an interview, Dion described Aguilera as "probably the best vocalist in the world."[161] Rolling Stone ranked Aguilera at 58 on their list of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, the youngest singer on the list.[21]
Describing Aguilera's voice, singing teachers Phyllis Fulford and Michael Mailler said, "The low register is light and tired, the belting register is ample and full, but very scratchy because she screams; and head voice as well as whistle register are light, pure and bright. Her vocal range extends from G below middle C to C♯ one octave above soprano high C (G3 – C♯7). She can belt to F one octave and a third above middle C (F5). She possesses a good-sized technical arsenal. Her trill is solid, she has a big mastery of melismas, and can sustain very long notes."[162] Los Angeles Times writer Margaret Wappler adds Aguilera can deliver "a well-executed legato."[163]
Since her debut in 1999, Aguilera has been compared to the likes of Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.[164] David Browne of The New York Times writes, "Aguilera has been one of the foremost practitioners of the overpowering, Category 5 vocal style known as melisma. Ms. Carey, Ms. Houston and Ms. Aguilera, to name its three main champions, are most associated with the period from the late ’80s through the late ’90s."[165] A review in the Los Angeles Times compared Aguilera's vocal stylings to Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, and Aretha Franklin adding, "Aguilera's Streisand-esque tendencies are a good thing; they're helping her figure out how to become the "great singer" she's been dubbed since she released her first single, the wise-beyond-its-years "Genie in a Bottle", at 18."[166] Although praised for her vocals, Aguilera has been labeled for oversinging in her songs and concerts.[167] Longtime producer and writer, Linda Perry, commented on working on the track "Beautiful", saying, "I tried to keep it straight. I told her to get rid of the finger waves. Every time she'd start going into "hoo-ha", I'd stop the tape. I'm like, 'You're doing it again.'" Perry ended up using the first take saying, "She had a hard time accepting that as the final track. It's not a perfect vocal – it's very raw. She knows her voice really well, and she knows what's going on. She can hear things that nobody else would catch."[168]
Themes and musical style[link]
The constant theme in Aguilera's music and lyrics is love, although she has written on other subjects including spirituality, female empowerment, and grief. Aguilera has also written about her childhood in two of her records which dealt with domestic abuse. In an interview Aguilera admitted she feels responsible to reveal her most vulnerable feelings and to share the darker sides of her life adding "People that can relate might not feel as alone in the circumstance."[169] She has been noted to constantly changing her sound in her music and lyrical content. Originally marketed as a bubblegum pop singer during the late 90s pop scene, she quickly departed into a broad range of musical genres for her follow-up album Stripped. A review states, "Clearly afflicted with Premature Serious Artist Syndrome, Aguilera wants to demonstrate the range of her interests – vampy soul, quasi-metal, piano-bar intimacy, quiet-storm R&B, bounce-bounce hip-hop, and semi-exotic rock, all of it dutifully accomplished."[69]
The majority of the songs are characterized by Aguilera's loud vocals, though she has used breathy and soft vocals.[170] Her 2006 release, Back to Basics included producer DJ Premier. The New York Times exclaims, "Her decision to work with the low-key DJ Premier was also a decision to snub some of the big-name producers on whom pop stars often rely."[171] Aguilera has often cited that she prefers working with producers that are not in popular demand, saying "I don't necessarily go to the main people that are the No.1 chart-toppers in music."[172] The album included live instrumentation and samples of past jazz and soul records. Some tracks on the album included non-traditional forms of pop music such as swing jazz and big band, drawing comparisons to Madonna's I'm Breathless and the musical film Cabaret.[173] Her first feature film, Burlesque, influenced by Cabaret, featured mainstream producers Tricky Stewart and Danja on the soundtrack where several established songs were updated and worked into dance numbers, a style similar to 2001's Moulin Rouge! "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" was performed by Aguilera in the film, a musical number also performed by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!
Influences[link]
One of Aguilera's major influences and idol is blues singer Etta James, whose classic song "At Last" has been covered by Aguilera throughout her career. Aguilera says, "Etta is my all-time favorite singer. I've said it for the last seven years – since I had my first debut record out – in every interview. I mean, all of Etta's old songs, countless songs I could name, I grew up listening to."[174] Following James' death in 2012, Aguilera was asked to perform "At Last" at her funeral.[149] Prior to performing Aguilera stated, "There's a line in this song that says 'I found a dream that I could speak to.' And for me that dream, all my life, has been Etta James."[175] The majority of her album, Back to Basics, pays tribute to James and other pop standard singers who many originated from the 1950s. In her early years she listened to vintage jazz, blues, and soul music.[176] The album included an unreleased song, "Slow Down Baby", which sampled a Gladys Knight & the Pips song. A review in The Guardian declared, "Practically everything recorded before Aguilera was born blurs into one amorphous genre, which she categorises, somewhat inadequately, as "fun music".[177] Aguilera has also named Madonna and Janet Jackson as two of her biggest influences "for being re-inventive and being brave as strong females, to explore whatever, even if they do get bad press. It's just like they were fearless."[178] Her other musical influences include Aretha Franklin,[179] Whitney Houston,[180] and Nina Simone.[181]
Aguilera cites the musical The Sound of Music and its lead actress, Julie Andrews as an early inspiration for singing and performing.[182] She mentioned the "Golden age of Hollywood" as another inspiration in which she says, "I'm referencing Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Carole Lombard, Greta Garbo, Veronica Lake".[183] Ironically, her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is located near Julie Andrews and is next to Greta Garbo.[184] In her music video for "Ain't No Other Man" she plays her alter ego, "Baby Jane" in reference to the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?.[185] The film's stars included actresses Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. The third single off Back to Basics, "Candyman" was inspired by the 1941 song, "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" by The Andrews Sisters which was played during World War II. She was also inspired by pin-up girls and several paintings by Alberto Vargas. Aguilera has expressed interest in cultural icons Nico, Blondie and artists Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.[186] She has often worked with photographer and close friend, David LaChapelle who once worked with Warhol. Chapelle has shot many of Aguilera's music videos, magazine shoots and advertisements. She is also a fan of graffiti artist Banksy. In 2006, she purchased three of Banksy's works during a private art exhibition; one of them included a pornographic picture of Queen Victoria in a lesbian pose with a prostitute.[187] She has mentioned in several interviews that she is a fan of actress Angelina Jolie,[188] and her Burlesque co-star, Cher.[114] Fashion has also been a part of Aguilera's music career and image which she has used as a form of expression during performances and music videos. In 2003, she became the muse and inspiration for Donatella Versace's 2003 fall line. Versace also designed pieces her tour the following year. Aguilera is also a fan of Roberto Cavalli, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen whose designs she has worn throughout her career.[189][190]
Other ventures[link]
In 2000, Aguilera was the face for make-up line Fetish where she worked in choosing colors and packaging for the line. She ended her contract the following year.[191] Throughout her career Aguilera has endorsed several brands, including Skechers, Mercedes-Benz, Verizon Wireless, and soft drink giants Coca-Cola in 2001, and Pepsi in 2006.[192] She became the muse and model for fashion house Versace appearing in a campaign for the 2003 fall line.[193] In 2004, Aguilera earned £200,000GBP (about $300,000USD)[194] for opening the summer sale at London's Harrods store which took in record breaking profits during the four week period.[195] In 2005, she was reportedly paid $3.6 million[196] to sing a three song set for Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko's wedding. Aguilera signed a contract with European cell phone operator Orange to promote the new Sony Ericsson Walkman phone during the 2006 World Cup. In 2010, Aguilera was paid $1 million by investor Charles Brandes to perform at a private party.[197]
In 2008, jewelry designer Stephen Webster and close friend of Aguilera released "Shattered", a collection of sterling silver pieces, through Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Aguilera, who inspired the collection, was featured as a Hitchcock heroine saying, "Working together on this campaign and collection has been an incredible experience. I am honored to be a part of it all."[198][199] They reprised their work together for Webster's 2009 spring line.[200] In 2011, Aguilera attended São Paulo Fashion Week to premiere her new line of clothing for Brazilian department store C&A which launched in April.[201]
Aguilera released two fragrances throughout Europe, the first one Xpose, was released in late 2004 and sold relatively well.[202][203] Through Procter and Gamble Aguilera released her signature fragrance, Simply Christina in 2007.[204] In Christmas 2007, the fragrance became the number one perfume in the UK,[205] and later in 2009 it became the 4th best selling perfume in the UK,[206] and Germany where it topped sales for the year.[207] The perfume won as the people's choice for favorite celebrity fragrance at the annual UK Fifi Awards 2008.[208] She released her third fragrance, Inspire, accompanied with a body care collection, on September 1, 2008.[209][210] The perfume hit shelves in the US, Canada, Latin America, Asia and Northern and Eastern Europe. It was Aguilera's first fragrance released outside of Europe.[211] Her worldwide ad campaign included a television ad shot by David LaChapelle and was released in the US through Macy's department stores.

Throughout her career, Aguilera has been involved with several charities. She signed a letter from PETA to the South Korean government asking that the country stop its alleged killing of dogs for food.[217] During her 2007 tour she unknowingly wore a fur stole during the beginning of her tour, which designer Roberto Cavalli provided without informing Aguilera. After receiving a video from PETA Vice President Dan Mathews on the treatment of foxes, she replaced the stole with faux fur for the remainder of her tour. Aguilera was reportedly upset adding, "I only ever wear fake fur".[218] In 2010 Aguilera auctioned off tickets for her upcoming tour for Christie's A Bid to Save the Earth. Proceeds benefit nonprofit environmental groups Conservation International, Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council, and The Central Park Conservancy.[219] Aguilera also supports Defenders of Wildlife, Missing Kids, National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations,[220] Women's Cancer Research Fund,[221] and Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Research Institute.[222] She has also worked alongside nonprofit organization Do Something saying, "Every individual has the power to inspire young people across the country."[223]
In 2010, Aguilera was nominated for a VH1 Do Something Award for her work with the organization and her efforts in the response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. She was featured in the campaign for photographer, Brie Childers with the goal of helping women of all ages, races and lifestyles feel beautiful and confident about themselves and the body and skin they were born with. Proceeds from benefit several women's charities nationwide.[224] Aguilera is still a major contributor in her hometown of Pittsburgh contributing regularly to the Women's Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh. According to her official website, she toured the center and donated $200,000 to the shelter. She also has auctioned off front row seats and back stage passes for the Pittsburgh-based charity.[225] She has continued her donations and visits to the shelter, and plans to open an additional one.[226] She also supports the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Refuge UK.[220] Since then she has worked with Lifetime Television's 'End violence against women' campaign. Her work there included a public service announcement which aired on the network and during her 2007 tour.[227]
Aguilera is a supporter of the LGBT community and is considered a gay icon by many[who?]. She was honored at the GLAAD Awards for using gay and transgender images in her music video for "Beautiful". When accepting the award Aguilera said, "My video captures the reality that gay and transgender people are beautiful, even though prejudice and discrimination against them still exists."[228] In 2005, she appeared on a compilation album titled, Love Rocks, proceeds benefit the Human Rights Campaign, an organization dedicated to fighting for equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people. In 2008, she publicly spoke out against California's Proposition 8 which eliminates same-sex marriage in California saying, "Why you would put so much money behind something [aimed at] stopping people from loving each other and bonding together? I just don't understand it. It's hard for me to grasp. But I would've been out there with my rally sign as well."[229] In 2011 Aguilera was honored at The Abbey, a gay club in West Hollywood, for her contributions to the gay community as the first honoree on their Gay Walk of Fame joining Dame Elizabeth Taylor in being immortalized forever.[230]
Aguilera contributes in the fight against AIDS, by participating in AIDS Project Los Angeles' Artists Against AIDS "What's Going On?" cover project. In 2004, Aguilera became the new face for cosmetic company M·A·C and spokesperson for M·A·C AIDS Fund. Aguilera appeared in advertisements of the M·A·C's Viva Glam V lipstick and lipgloss, and was featured on Vanity Fair in recognition of her campaign work. In addition, Aguilera contributed to YouthAIDS by posing for a joint YouthAIDS and Aldo Shoes campaign for "Empowerment Tags" in Canada, the U.S. and the UK. She was featured with one of three ubiquitous slogans, "Speak No Evil?" and stated, "HIV is something that people don’t want to talk about, hear about, or face."[231][232] Singer Elton John featured Aguilera in his charity book titled "Four Inches" benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation.[233] Elton also hand-picked Aguilera, for his annual "Fashion Rocks" charity concert which accompanies music and fashion to benefit the fight against AIDS/HIV.[234]
In the run-up to the 2004 United States presidential election, Aguilera was featured on billboards for the "Only You Can Silence Yourself" online voter registration drive run by the nonpartisan, non-profit campaign "Declare Yourself". In these political advertisements, shot by David LaChapelle, Aguilera was shown with her mouth sewn shut, to symbolize the effects of not voting. She appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss the importance of voting. In late 2007 Aguilera became the spokesperson for "Rock the Vote" where she urged young people to vote in the 2008 presidential election.[235] In partnership with "Rock the Vote", she appeared in a public service announcement which aired in summer 2008. The advert showed Aguilera with her son, Max Bratman, wrapped in an American flag, while singing "America the Beautiful".
In November 2005, all of her wedding gifts were submitted to various charities around the nation in support of Hurricane Katrina victims.[236] That year she also performed at "Unite of the Stars" concert in aid of Unite Against Hunger in Johannesburg, South Africa and at the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund at the Coca-Cola Dome.[237] In March 2007 Aguilera took part in a charity album (remaking Lennon's "Mother"), proceeds benefit Amnesty International's efforts to end genocide in Darfur. The album titled, Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur, was released June 12, 2007, and featured various artists.[238] In 2008, she headlined London's Africa Rising charity concert at Royal Albert Hall which raises awareness for finding substantial issues facing the continent.[239] Later that year she appeared on the Turkish version of Deal or No Deal "Var mısın? Yok musun?", where proceeds were donated to a charity program for orphans.[240]
In 2009, Aguilera became the global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief appearing in advertisements, online campaigns and a public service announcement.[241] Aguilera and her then-husband traveled to Guatemala with the World Food Programme to bring awareness to issues such as the high malnutrition rate in that country. She met with families of the villages and some of the beneficiaries of WFP's nutrition programs. Aguilera adds, "The people of WFP do such a great job helping hungry children and mothers. I'm thankful for the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful project."[242] Since becoming a global spokeswoman Aguilera has helped raise over $22 million which helped provide over 90 million meals.[243] She was honored at Variety's annual "Power of Women" luncheon in late 2009 alongside other women in entertainment for her contribution to philanthropic and charitable causes.[244] In response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Aguilera donated a signed Chrysler 300 which was auctioned for relief efforts.[245] She was one of the many artists who appeared on the Hope for Haiti telethon on January 22, 2010, donations directly benefited Oxfam America, Partners In Health, Red Cross and UNICEF. She later appeared on a second public service announcement alongside sports icon Muhammad Ali to raise funds for the World Food Programme's efforts to bring food to survivors of the earthquake.[246] Later that year Aguilera made her first visit to Haiti as an ambassador against hunger where she visited two schools in the town of Léogâne.

Kimberly Denise Jones (born July 11, 1975[1]), better known by her stage name Lil' Kim, is an American rapper and actress who was a member of the group Junior M.A.F.I.A..
Jones was born and raised in Brooklyn, living much of her adolescent life on the streets after being expelled from home. As a teenager, Kim would rap for fun, being heavily influenced by other female MCs like MC Lyte and Lady of Rage. When word got to The Notorious B.I.G. that she could rhyme, he made Jones perform a freestyle for him on the spot. Impressed with her, he took her in and she began her music career in 1995 with the group Junior M.A.F.I.A., whose debut album Conspiracy generated three hit singles. In late 1996, her solo debut album Hard Core was released. Hard Core was certified double platinum and spawned three consecutive #1 rap hits that included: "No Time" "Not Tonight (Ladies Night remix)" and "Crush on You", a record for a female rapper. Her following albums, The Notorious K.I.M. (2000) and La Bella Mafia (2003), both were certified platinum by the RIAA, making Kim the only female rapper besides Missy Elliott to have at least 3 platinum albums so far. Kim solidified her star power in 2001, when "Lady Marmalade", a song Kim was featured on, went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That made her the second female rapper to earn a #1 on that chart.
In 2005, she served a year long prison sentence for lying to a jury about her friends' involvement in a shooting four years earlier. During her incarceration, her fourth album The Naked Truth was released. Lil' Kim returned to the public spotlight in 2009 with an appearance on Dancing with the Stars.

Early life[link]
Jones was born in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of the New York City borough Brooklyn to parents Linwood Jones and Ruby Mae.[2] At the age of 9, her parents separated, and her father raised her until he expelled her from home when she was a teenager. Thus, she lived with her friends and even on the streets. While struggling through her personal life, Kim met The Notorious B.I.G., who was a key figure in both her personal and artistic life, particularly when Wallace had gained popularity and influence through his relationship with Bad Boy Records.[3] As a teenager, Jones attended Brooklyn College Academy, the same school were fellow rappers Nas and Foxy Brown attended. She dropped out of high school as a teenager, and worked as a cashier for department store Bloomingdale's for a short period of time.
Music career[link]
Early career with Junior M.A.F.I.A.[link]
In 1994, B.I.G. was instrumental in introducing and promoting the Brooklyn based group, Junior M.A.F.I.A., which included Lil' Kim. The group's first and only album was titled Conspiracy.[3] Three hit singles came from Conspiracy: "Player's Anthem" (peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and #2 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart), "I Need You Tonight" (#43 R&B, #12 Rap), and "Get Money" (#17 on the Billboard Hot 100, #4 R&B, #2 Rap).[4] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified Conspiracy Gold on December 6, 1995, marking sales of 500,000 units. "Player's Anthem" was Gold, and "Get Money" went Platinum (sales of a million units).[5]
[edit] Hard Core (1996)
After a year with Junior M.A.F.I.A., Jones began a solo career by making guest performances on R&B albums and recording her debut album, Hard Core, which was released in November 1996. The album peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[6] Hard Core was RIAA-certified double platinum on March 14, 2001 after having been certified Gold on January 6, 1997 and Platinum on June 3, 1997.[7] The album's lead single "No Time", a duet with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs (who would later change his stage name to "P. Diddy" and then "Diddy"), reached the top spot of the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart[3] and was certified Gold by the RIAA.[5] The following single, "Crush on You", reached #6 on the Hot 100 and #2 on the rap chart.[8] A remix of the album's track "Not Tonight" saw Lil' Kim team up with Missy Elliott, Angie Martinez, Da Brat and Left Eye of TLC. The song was part of the soundtrack to the Martin Lawrence movie Nothing To Lose, nominated for a Grammy Award, and certified Platinum.[5] In one stockholders' meeting of Warner Bros. Records, activist C. Delores Tucker criticized the label "for producing this filth," referring to perceived graphic sexual content in Kim's lyrics, and labeling them "gangsta porno rap".[9]
[edit] The Notorious K.I.M. (2000-2002)
From 1998 to 2000, Kim continued her road to stardom under the management of B.I.G.'s best friend, Damion "D-Roc" Butler's "Roc Management", touring and modeling for various fashion and pop culture companies including Candies, Versace, Iceberg, and Baby Phat. In 1998, she performed in P. Diddy's "No Way Out" tour.[10] In the same year, she launched her own label Queen Bee Entertainment and even though she had not had an album of her own released, she was seen on dozens of remixes and guest appearances on other artist's records. On June 27, 2000, Kim released her second album The Notorious K.I.M. The album marked a new image and revamped look for the rapper. Despite the limited success of its singles, the album reached #4 on the Billboard 200, and #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It was certified platinum by the RIAA.[5] It was on this LP that the well-known hip-hop feud between Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown blossmed.
In 2001, Lil' Kim teamed up with Christina Aguilera, Pink, and Mýa to remake "Lady Marmalade", which was originally written about a bordello in New Orleans and performed by the group Labelle (which included diva Patti LaBelle) 25 years earlier. The song was recorded for the Moulin Rouge! film soundtrack, released in April 2001, and stayed #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. The song also went to #1 in 50 countries around the world. This was a big accomplishment for female rap, as well as for Kim, who scored her first #1 Hot 100 hit and became the first female rapper in history to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. "Lady Marmalade" also garnered Kim her first Grammy Award.
Lil' Kim also performed in two international hit singles. "In the Air Tonite", a remix of the Phil Collins song "In the Air Tonight" and duet with Collins, was released as a single from the Collins tribute album Urban Renewal. "Kimnotyze" is the lead single of record producer DJ Tomekk's compilation album Beat Of Life, Vol 1. It was released in Switzerland, Austria and Germany only. The song was successful, becoming Lil' Kim's third consecutive Top 10 hit in Germany after her number 5 hit "Lady Marmalade".
In 2002, Lil' Kim recorded a new entrance theme for then World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Women's Champion Trish Stratus entitled, "Time to Rock 'n Roll", which was used during broadcasts, until Stratus' retirement. The single was released on WWE Anthology, a compilation of entrance theme music to various professional wrestling superstars.
[edit] La Bella Mafia (2003)
On March 4, 2003, Kim released her third critically acclaimed album, La Bella Mafia. Highly rated (4.5 mics) by music magazine The Source, La Bella Mafia spawned the hit "The Jump Off" featuring Mr. Cheeks, which climbed to number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. The single "Magic Stick", feat. 50 Cent, hit #2 on the Hot 100 without a video ever being shot.
La Bella Mafia debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. Kim was nominated for five Source Awards and won two ("Female Hip-Hop Artist of the Year", and "Female Single of the Year"). This album also got two Grammy Award nominations: Best Female Rap Solo Performance ("Came Back For You") and Best Rap Collaboration ("Magic Stick"). She was also nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with singer Christina Aguilera for the song "Can't Hold Us Down", from Aguilera's album Stripped.
Greg Thomas, an English professor at Syracuse University, began teaching "Hip-Hop Eshu: Queen B@#$H Lyricism 101". Kim herself was a guest speaker at the school. Professor Thomas considered Kim's lyrics "the art with the most profound sexual politics I've ever seen anywhere."[11] David Horowitz criticized the course as "academic degeneracy and decline".[12] Lil' Kim also made an appearance on the multi-platform videogame Def Jam: Fight for NY. Kim provided voice-overs for her part in the storyline, where the player may fight an opponent to have Lil' Kim as his girlfriend.[13]
[edit] The Naked Truth (2005-2008)
Kim released a fourth album, The Naked Truth, on September 27, 2005, while serving a federal prison sentence (see below). It earned her a 5 mic rating from The Source, making her the only female rapper to ever receive a 5 mic rating. The album debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 charts, giving Kim her Third Top 10 debut on the charts. The Naked Truth did not sell as well as her previous works, selling less than 400,000 copies. Kim has said that her prison sentence left her with no time to promote the project. There have been many rumors about a re-release of Truth but to no avail.The music video for The Naked Truth's first single, "Lighters Up" was number one on BET's 106 & Park for two weeks. "Lighters Up", was a Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. The single also reached #67 on the German Single Chart, #12 on the UK Top 75 and #4 on the Finland Single Chart. The second single, "Whoa" was released on February 17, 2006. It reached No. 22 on Airplay. The Dance Remixes extended play was also released in 2005. Kim also made appearances on the show Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For The Next Doll and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious in 2007 and 2008. Ms. G.O.A.T., an acronym for "Greatest Of All Time",[14][15] is the debut mixtape by Lil' Kim. It was officially released on June 3, 2008[16] and was produced by Mister Cee and DJ Whoo Kid, DJ's from New York City.[17] Among critics, the album has received generally positive reviews.[18][19][20] It has been called a representation of Lil' Kim's return to the streets.[21] Tito Salinas of All Hip Hop says "Lil’ Kim shows that her time behind bars did not rust all of her swag away" on Ms. G.O.A.T.[19] On the other hand, Ehren Gresehover of New York Mag says that although one of the tracks "The Miseducation of Lil' Kim" is not bad, he wished that it was Lauryn Hill who was making a comeback instead.[22]
[edit] 5th Studio Album (2009-present)
On March 10, 2009, the song "Girls" by the Korean singer, Seven featuring Lil' Kim was released through digital stores for his U.S. debut single. Kim appeared in the music video that was released on the same day. "Girls" was produced by Darkchild. On March 24, 2009, Kim released the song "Download" featuring R&B singers T-Pain and Charlie Wilson. It was written by Lil Kim and T-Pain and produced by Trackmasters. The song samples "Computer Love" by Zapp. Peaking at #21 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It eventually made it to the top 10 US Urban Radio airplay and the top 30 UK Single Charts at #22.
Kim confirmed in January, 2011 that she would be releasing her next album which is currently untitled in 2012.[23] She is expected to make a guest appearance on a track from 50 Cent's upcoming studio album as well as Dr. Dre's 2011 album Detox and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins' album Still Cool.[24]
Kim released a mixtape titled Black Friday on February 14, 2011. In a recent radio interview at 99 Jamz, Kim stated that her upcoming book, "The Price of Loyalty", is on hold to coincide with the release of her fifth studio album, to be release in the next coming months.[25][26]
On June 19, Kim preformed along side G-Unit member Shawty Lo and hinted a possible working relationship with G-Unit Records. Kim is also featured along with Rick Ross on a track titled "Anything (To Find You)", by R&B singer Monica, off her upcoming album "New Life", but her verse was removed due to contractual issues. On November 28, 2011 Lil' Kim released a new buzz single called "I Am Not the One" which is available on iTunes. She has announced that she will be releasing an EP, but later on it was shelved. [27]
On Valentine's Day, 2012, Kim released the song "If You Love Me" as a gift to her fans. That same month it was announced she would make her return to the stage on BET's 'Rip the Runway.'[28] It marked the her first televised performance in years. In March, 2012, during an interview with MTV's Sucker Free, Kim revealed that contract issues with production duo Trackmasters were the reason behind her album delay, saying "...contractually, by the courts, I could not record any music - I wasn’t supposed to put any music out.” [29]
On March 23, 2012, the song "Keys To The City", a collaboration with Young Jeezy, was leaked to the internet. Release date of the song as a single has not been decided yet.
Other ventures[link]
Lil Kim: Countdown to Lockdown[link]
On March 9, 2006, BET premiered the show Lil Kim: Countdown to Lockdown, which was filmed before Kim headed to prison. The show became the highest rated premiere in BET history, with 1.7 million viewers. In May 2006, Debbie Harry released a Lil' Kim tribute song called "Dirty and Deep" in protest of her conviction. The song is available free from the Deborah Harry Home Page.
Dancing With the Stars[link]
Lil' Kim appeared on the eighth season reality show Dancing with the Stars, which began airing on March 9, 2009. She was paired with professional dancer Derek Hough until the dance couple was eliminated on May 5, 2009,[30] putting her at fifth place from all thirteen contestants that season. During the second week of the season, judge Len Goodman said that she "must have a bionic booty," a nickname that resulted from her performance of the selected dance that evening.
Legal issues[link]
On March 17, 2005, Kim was convicted of three counts of conspiracy and one count of perjury for lying to a Federal grand jury about her and her friends' involvement in a 2001 shooting outside the Hot 97 studios in Manhattan.[31] During the trial of her co-manager, Damion "D-Roc" Butler, and her bodyguard, Suif "Gutta" Jackson, a former member of the hip-hop group Junior M.A.F.I.A, she testified not to have known they were at the scene.[32] However, video footage from a security camera placed all three at the scene, exiting the building. This directly contravened testimony before the grand jury.[33] Butler and Jackson have since pled guilty to gun charges. Jackson was sentenced, in U.S. District Court, to twelve years in federal prison as part of plea bargain in which he admitted to firing at least twenty rounds during the incident. The length of the sentence was said to have been influenced by his previous gun-related convictions.[32] In July 2005, Kim was sentenced to a one year and a day in prison, thirty days home detention upon release from custody, and three years of probation. She served the entirety of her sentence at the Federal Detention Center, Philadelphia in Center City, Philadelphia. She was released on July 3, 2006, after serving approximately 12 months.[33] Kim, Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Register #56198-054, was released from BOP supervision on August 2, 2006.[34][35]

Pink is any of the colors between bluish red (purple) to red, of medium to high brightness and of low to moderate saturation. Commonly used for Valentine's Day and Easter, pink is sometimes referred to as "the color of love." The use of the word for the color known today as pink was first recorded in the late 17th century.
Although pink is roughly considered just as a tint of red, most variations of pink lie between red, white and magenta colors. This means that the pink's hue is somewhat between red and magenta.
Roseus is a Latin word meaning "rosy" or "pink." Lucretius used the word to describe the dawn in his epic poem On the Nature of Things (De Rerum Natura). The word is also used in the binomial names of several species, such as the Rosy Starling (Sturnus roseus) and Catharanthus roseus. In most Indo-European languages, the color pink is called rosa. In Persian, it is called "Souraty," meaning "Color of the face." In Hindi, it is called "Gulabi," meaning "Colour of a rose."
The color pink is named after the flowers called pinks, flowering plants in the genus Dianthus. The name derives from the frilled edge of the flowers—the verb "to pink" dates from the 14th century and means "to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern" (possibly from German "pinken" = to peck). As noted and referenced above, the word "pink" was first used as a noun to refer to the color known today as pink in the 17th century. The verb sense of the word "pink" continues to be used today in the name of the hand tool known as pinking shears.
