White tie (or evening dress, full evening dress; slang top hat and tails or white tie and tails, tailsuit, tails) is the most formal evening dress code in Western fashion. It is worn to ceremonial occasions such as state dinners in some countries, as well as to very formal balls and evening weddings. The chief components for men are the black dress coat commonly known as an evening tailcoat, white bow tie, white waistcoat and starched wing collar shirt, while women wear a suitable dress for the occasion, such as an evening gown.
As evening dress, white tie is traditionally considered correct only after 6 p.m. although some etiquette authorities allow for it anytime after dark even if that means prior to 6 p.m. The equivalent formal attire for daytime events is called morning dress. The less formal evening counterpart of white tie is black tie.
Formal evening dress is strictly regulated, and properly consists of:
White is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light that stimulates all three types of color sensitive cone cells in the human eye in nearly equal amounts and with high brightness compared to the surroundings. A white visual stimulation will be void of hue and grayness.
White light can be generated in many ways. The sun is such a source, electric incandescence is another. Modern light sources are fluorescent lamps and light-emitting diodes. An object whose surface reflects back most of the light it receives and does not alter its color will appear white, unless it has very high specular reflection.
Since white is the extreme end of the visual spectrum (in terms of both hue and shade), and since white objects - such as clouds, snow and flowers - appear often in nature, it has frequent symbolism. Human culture has many references to white, often related to purity and cleanness, whilst the high contrast between white and black is often used to represent opposite extremes.
The word white continues Old English hwīt, ultimately from a Common Germanic *χwītaz also reflected in OHG (h)wîz, ON hvítr, Goth. ƕeits. The root is ultimately from Proto-Indo-European language *kwid-, surviving also in Sanskrit śveta "to be white or bright" and Slavonic světŭ "light". The Icelandic word for white, hvítur, is directly derived from the Old Norse form of the word hvítr. Common Germanic also had the word *blankaz ("white, bright, blinding"), borrowed into Late Latin as *blancus, which provided the source for Romance words for "white" (French blanc, Spanish blanco, Italian bianco, etc.). The root survives in English in the word black.

Fred Astaire (born Frederick Austerlitz; May 10, 1899 – June 22, 1987) was an American film and Broadway stage dancer, choreographer, singer and actor. His stage and subsequent film career spanned a total of 76 years, during which he made 31 musical films. He was named the fifth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute. He is particularly associated with Ginger Rogers, with whom he made ten films.
Gene Kelly, another major innovator in filmed dance, said that "the history of dance on film begins with Astaire". Beyond film and television, many classical dancers and choreographers, Rudolf Nureyev, Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson, Gregory Hines, Mikhail Baryshnikov, George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins among them, also acknowledged his importance and influence.
Astaire was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Johanna "Ann" (née Geilus) and Frederic "Fritz" Austerlitz (born September 8, 1868, as Friedrich Emanuel Austerlitz). Astaire's mother was born in the United States to Lutheran German immigrants from East Prussia and Alsace, while Astaire's father was born in Linz, Austria, to Jewish parents who had converted to Catholicism.
"A Whiter Shade of Pale" is the debut song by the British band Procol Harum, released 12 May 1967. The single reached number one in the UK Singles Chart on 8 June 1967, and stayed there for six weeks. Without much promotion, it reached #5 on the US charts, as well. It is one of the fewer than 30 all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) copies worldwide.[citation needed]
With its haunting Bach-flavoured instrumental melody, soulful vocals, and unusual lyrics—by the song's co-authors Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, and Matthew Fisher-- "A Whiter Shade of Pale" reached #1 in several countries when released in 1967. In the years since, it has become an enduring classic. It was the most played song in the last 75 years in public places in the UK (as of 2009), and the United Kingdom performing rights group Phonographic Performance Limited in 2004 recognised it as the most-played record by British broadcasting of the past 70 years. Also in 2004, Rolling Stone placed "A Whiter Shade of Pale" #57 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Face is blank, emotion free
walk the highlands, walk the creed
so super ultra clean
there's no need to kill a dream
keep your fingers in the cream
so super ultra clean
chorus
and i see the wonders
(theese chemicals can do)
this will all preserve the peace
it'll put your mind at ease
so super ultra clean
face down in the mud you'll see
there's a way for you and me
to be super ultra clean
live your life in fear of dirty laundry
live your life in land of ultra clean
in my dreams my shirts come back to haunt me
( We made the music but it was to “techno” to ruin with lyrics, so we found some samples in a German language audio-course.
Seven ugly midgets sitting in my living room.
This is not the smallest sign of an impending doom
in the afternoon.
Found a leper leprechaun inside my severed chest.
Offered him some help with his unholy quest
in the after noon.
Found a path to wonderland and burned it to the ground.
Killed of every living soul I smothered every clown
In the after noon.
-chorus-
A home where the buffalo roam.
The mother, the whore and the crone.
The cyborg, the ghost and the clone.
A home where the buffalo.
Seven ugly giants sitting in my living room.
This is not the largest sign of an impending doom
in the after noon.
-chorus-
(We are huge fans of the late author and journalist Hunter S.Thomson and this song is a tribute to him.
And now the cold is here again
it leaves the purity unstained
its bony hands will fixiate
the beauty of the cleanest slate
the figment of the ghost of hate
an argument
chorus
seeds are set on june the second
water falls and sun will feed your crop
harvest hope
and now the water stops its flow
and every creature is moving slow
it deadly breath is not the end
it is a way to breath again
it is a promise heaven sent
The word he spoke were neatly bent
to suit and smooth the roughest edge.
A lie delivered ,honestly,
the reason is still a mystery to me.
The symbol of his dying god
made his view-point seem so odd.
He smiled at me triumphantly
the reason is still a mystery to me.
-chorus-
Arm yourself against the loneliness
an obvious cry for help.
His eyes looked foggy, half asleep
like port ways to a endless deep.
He waved a pattern like a cross
but it felt like a “swastika” to us
A preacher to the common folk
the “fire” and “brimstone”-talk.
I wont forget the man who lied
to me when someone that i´ve loved had died.
(When my grandmother died I met a priest of the old school-kind.
He actually talked of the devil as a person and not as a metaphor.
Feel the thorn that rips your soul
this blocked up inspiration
run away for what its worth
this electronic nation
to my surprise
you're not running beside me
to my surprise
revenge is all that guides me
chorus
swallow weight, hook line and sinker
see me lurk, cloak and dagger
Iam the backstabber
dress me up puerto rican
and shadowbound, cloak and dagger
I'am the backstabber
blessed theese hallowed grounds we walk
this path leads to damnation
it's acting like you are a child
it's sexual frustration
so turn around
you still have time to face me
so turn around
Mark my words with magic markers
this is not the end
balance means your moving forward
i will soon descend
idle hands are devils playthings
i will jerk me blind
balance is a definition
always undefined
(moving to the sound
turning me around)
chorus
balance
first thing on my mind
beauty never dies
only redefines itself
pierce my organs burn my face
leave me in the cold
balance is a vivid statement
this is getting old
sharper theeth and bigger fingers
less is always more
I always thought of morality
as a rock I could hang on to.
I see so much of myself in you
that´s why I hate you like I do.
And I do.
On that day in sunny may
when everything went senseless
we scraped up what we could from
damp and dirty floors
We left without directions,
we knew the way to go.
It's a temple for the worshipers of human decay
she'll be known to all their offspring as the queen of flies
in a mud infested ravel of a fallen house
lie the body of the woman who was never found
and the maggots eat away all sign of recognize
she'll be known to all their offspring as the queen of flies
her flesh will their shelter and her hair will be their hide
she'll be the home of pestulance, a vengance genocide
and her bones will be chalk that cleans the tidal wave
of anything organic, that's not worth to save
chorus
death is so unfasionable
flesh that falls of bones
the end comes creepin round the bend
death is so unfasionable
makes your colors gray
what makes me say such things
it makes you hate me
so this whore will be the mother of a million things
that longer down the line will complete a ring
when her bodyfat is turned into a stinking pond
its forgotten that she died with her makeup on
and the hamridge that she has upon her naked skull
was once a place for wirship for the white and dull
and the dress she wore that day that she was swept away
think of me when you close your fist
you're the mother of destruction and you came out well
dream of me write me on the list
of lovers you consumed inside your changing shell
eat her out, make it magical
her iron tasting blood makes me stiff and numb
turns me on in a violent flash
she's the mother of destruction and she's using her tumbs
she get what she deserve
she gives me all i need to carry on
and i like a tighter leash
when she's above me
i get stronger from the secrets that she teach
she's my queen, i am her dog
clean my mind in an afternoon
and iam breathing down her neck to make it possible
teath and grind this is not to soon
she's the mother of deduction and she owns this fool
she get what she deserve
she gives me all i need to carry on
and i like a tighter leash
when she's above me
i get stronger from the secrets that she teach
You lost yourself inside a dream within a dream.
Fell down that rabbit hole, to the spaces in between.
We can not wait to have you back again.
I guess we´ll see you then.
-chorus-
Running up and falling down the stairs.
Who´s running up and falling down the stairs?
If you go first I guess we´ll see you there
running up and falling down the stairs.
We found ourself´s outside your world just looking in.
The window is a looking glass, the man is made of tin.
The walls ,the ceiling and a floor to feel secure.
I guess were not in Kansas anymore.
-chorus-
(We had a bad year -07 and a lot of stuff happened.
This is a song about one of those things.
When a poem still unwritten makes its way through space
its determined to be seated in a mental case
that will give it all the nurishment it needs
to grow into an epic of great altitude
to make the virgins wet by beeing b****** crude
and lyrically complex to who may read
chorus
plauge is beeing human beeing
haunt the shadows of their dreams
i'll born
i'll be long
i'll be gone
before you breathe
human beeing is a disease
haunt the shadows of their dreams
i'll born
i'll be long
i'll be gone
before you breathe
when a picture is to horrible to make headlines
it will stay inside the head of those who lay their eyes
on the evidence of memories of crime
it will stay until the picture is a mantelpiece
a manifest of hedonism and it wont cease
Hold on you dont have much time
find a nosebleed seat when the worlds collide
cause there's something coming from outer space
and i've got everything bet on the ace of spades
harmageddon its the end of time
say your last haiku and make shure it rhymes
cause while nuclear winter makes your volvo rust
you'll be spending forever as a handful of dust
chorus
Harmageddon its a soathing oil
you get a green glowing dinner and a pocket of soil
and if you close your eyescause you had to much
you've seen nothing but the creatures that are eager to touch
and if you turn your face to the scorching sun
you wont be spending your life at the barrel of a gun
harmageddon its a desert land
cool down you dont have a clue
about things evolving and eating you
but when the night is glowing in the color of snot
you can run with the extra pair of legs you got
end of time there's not much to tell
you get a one way ticket to the depths of hell
and while nuclear waste makes a stain on your shirt
I´m waiting, i´m waiting for the tram to come.
I´m late, i´m late again i´m sorry mom.
The money spent on taxes seem to end up in the hands
of people who have gone to far to get a second chance.
And even though I feel like i´m a chump without a clue
I go to work and pay my taxes, mom, I promise you.
-chorus-
We´re the model citizens of Babylon.
We´re the margin-dwellers and the moral front.
I´m spending my spare time contemplating this
The leeches that suck society are close to bliss.
And even though I know that nice guys always finish last
I dig up all the shallow graves I carry in my past.
I just cant help the feeling that I get, it resembles shame.
Oh,daddy help me now when it is hard to carry your name.
Tell me if you see,
Consider it a crime, no one minds?
It's always right on time,
Calling me a thief
They will fall behind, no one minds
It's always right on time.
We're all lost in a corporate dream
With airtime for those who possesses the means.
Things are never as they seem.
If I bitch and scream
I like it.
(It´s about things we like. I was asleep at Johan´s couch one afternoon.
You know we are so much cooler then we seem
untouchable and pretty like a laser beam.
Sort of sparkling, hard to look at
just like an eclipse of the sun, you know what!?
Things we touch turn into gold
take anything just to break the mold.
I´t takes more then two to tango
Scaramouche, Scaramouche will you do the fandango.
Slowing down your heart like “macaroni and cheese”
I´ts our famous last stand and we do as we please.
Feels like these fat ryhmes way over a ton
so turn up the speed while the beat goes on.
You cant turn away this time
just like a drunk driver we ignore all signs.
Life is a journey down a muddy slope
hang on to the noose at the end of the rope.
We´re leaving when the roof´s on fire
no matter how you try you cant get much higher.
Rhymes more fat than Ricky Lake
in the eighties when she´s chewing on her birthdaycake.
-chorus-
Notify your next of kin.
You dont know the mess your in.
Make you feel weird like margaritas on ´roids
it´s all downhill from here
so sit back and enjoy.
We dont carry no guns
we like knives and mace
and thats why you bitches are all our slaves.
-chorus-
(If you love Electro in all it´s forms, you got to let the Harlem kind get it´s share.
Bliss
a moments peace on earth
a breathing space rebirth
oxymoronic sympathy
a place where i can never be
bliss
all beauty coming down
from where beauty is never found
you saw yourself as a machine
you lost yourself inside a dream
bliss
a noose around my throat
a partner that i loath
i saw myself as pure divine
but thats a mortal sin, a crime
Jesus was a carpenter by trade
judge a man by what his hands made
Hitler was painting as a job
judge a man by what he's thinking of
Satan was an angel first
judge a devil by his curse
father your sons and daughters crawl
your faces turned towards the stars
mother your child is just a shard
A service provided, solemn undivided
a scream and a dream, for the lost souls of this earth
a generation screaming for a purpose
a secret pathway from the cradle to rebirth
marked by the masses heading for disaster
considred outlaws in the age of the nuclear bomb
a generation screaming out for violence
its hard to handle when it hits to close to home
chorus
still you pray to a dying man
I dont think I'll ever understand
the storm wont shake us, the maker will make us
a place we can rule on a bright and shimering star
it is an ending fit for Cinderella
they leave all the sinners deep in smoke and tar
then if the end comes build a boat
fill it up with the things they wrote
fill it up before we sink
stay in the boat just wait and pray
pray that the flood will come one day
every day is a clean break
a kick in the face.
Resembles these people withered and gray
and I cant wait for this summer to end.
I will kill things before they grow today.
Spend a night with the gentle sodomites
and I feed on their laughs and their fist-free fights
they say:
“If God did´nt mean to make a fruit of me,
he would never have created the apple tree.”
-chorus-
I dont debate the wrongs and rights
with the man in the mirror
Jesus Christ
there is no forgiveness, no clean slates
I can see it in his eyes when I masturbate.
Now they´re selling revolution at the fancy stores
and though you tell me that you hate it you will by it for sure.
One way to forget the mess you made and a certain ticket if you
really want to get laid.
Those liars will cry at your funeral
and thats a reason to have for jumping at all.
When time feel like wax in your beating heart
and your parents admit it was all their fault.
-chorus-
I dont debate the wrongs and rights
with the man in the mirror
Jesus Christ
If it´s a sin to curse every single morning
In the shadowlands we´ll make our plans.
In the shadowlands we´ll take our stand.
Frames of fiction featuring “fear” and “chrome” and “concrete”.
Cross and book and candle.
Feeble faith wont save you now.
In the shadowlands we´ll make our plans.
In the shadowlands we´ll take our stand.
Basset´s barking backwards.
Beady eyes are glowing.
Cloth and holy water.
Feeble faith wont save you now.
In the shadowlands we´ll make our plans.
In the shadowlands we´ll take our stand.
(I saw “the Exorcist” when I was about 17 and I hated it cause
I could´nt see what was so scary about it.

*= I need more affection than you know
**= So many ups and downs
Somebody out there better get this
Not many people can do it like this
How about some speakers to amplify me
How about rhyme to fortify me
Life's messy so I clarify it
Simplifying things for everybody
[Chorus:]
I need someone who's true
Someone who does the laundry too
So what you gonna do
Please don't forget to follow-through
I take my diamond shoes
Someone who tries to be on time
Do what you said you'll do
I hope you like to follow-through
All that I need's a bit o'practice
My mind is set on bigger business
This is not a time for reminiscing
This is something new and interesting
Why are you trying to classify it
This is music for all humanity from me
Dreaming of hip hop tunes
They say you've got the proper tools
So what you gonna do
Keep doing things the way you do
I take my diamond shoes
Someone tries to be on time
Do what you came to do
I came to see you follow-through
[Chorus:]
I need someone who's true
Someone who does the laundry too
So what you gonna do
Please don't forget to follow-through
I take my diamond shoes
Someone who tries to be on time
Do what you said you'll do
She rises with the sunset
She wonders, "When will this end?"
The world is full of money, full of money
She goes out unprotected
She doesn't listen to her best friend
It's only for the money, for the money, for the money
She doesn't want to be respected
Reality's her best friend
She needs the extra money, extra money
In the city, the town, and the household
So many things go unreported
So many things her eyes have seen, eyes have seen, eyes have seen
Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Watch me as I walk in slowly
When your eyes meet mine
It's in the mirrors of the hotel lobby
This is not what she expected
Her hopes, they stretch and they bend
Wrinkle like paper money, paper money
In the city, the town, and the household
So many things can be distorted
So if you want a true life story, bring money, bring money
Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Watch me as I walk in slowly
When your eyes meet mine
It's in the mirrors of the hotel lobby
Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Watch me as I walk in slowly
When your eyes meet mine
It's in the mirrors of the hotel lobby
She's unprotected
She's unprotected, oh
She's unprotected
She's unprotected, oh
Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Watch me as I walk in slowly
When your eyes meet mine
It's in the mirrors of the hotel lobby
Meet me in the hotel lobby
Everybody's looking lonely
Catch me because I think I'm falling
All along I was searching for my Lenore
In the words of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe
Now I'm sober and "Nevermore"
Will the Raven come to bother me at home
Calling you, calling you home
You... calling you, calling you home
By the door you said you had to go
Couldn't help me anymore
This I saw coming, long before
So I kept on staring out the window
Calling you, calling you home
You... calling you, calling you home
I am a natural entertainer, aren't we all
Holding pieces of dying ember
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Who can I call
Home... calling you, calling you
I run a secret propaganda
Aren't we all hiding pieces of broken anger
I'm just trying to remember who I can call
Can I call

Everybody wants something they can cradle

I don't wanna crossover
Between this genre, that genre
Between you and I is where
I wanna crossover, the line
I just wanna go further
Between here and there grow wiser
Together you and I-we can
Cross all borders you and I
I don't wanna cross over between this genre, that genre
Between you and I is where I wanna cross over, cross the line
I just wanna go further between here and there, grow wiser
Together you and I we can wrestle borders, you and I
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
You're giving me too many things
Lately your all i need
You smiled at me and said,
Don't get me wrong I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?
When we are older you'll understand
What I meant when I said "No,
I don't think life is quite that simple"
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
The daily things that keep us all busy
Are confusing me
That's when you came to me and said,
Wish I could prove I love you
But does that mean I have to walk on water?
When we are older you'll understand
It's enough when I say so
And maybe some things are that simple
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before
Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
With you these streets are heaven
Now home feels so foreign
They told me I was mistaken, infatuated
And I was afraid to trust my hunches
Now I am ready
Daddy don't be mad that I'm leaving
Please let me worry about me
Mama don't you worry about me
This is my story
Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert, snow
We'll say goodbye to the friends we know
This is our Exodus '04
Through traffic jams in Tokyo
New music on the radio
We'll say goodbye to the world we know
This is our Exodus '04
Landscapes keep changing
History teaches something
I know I could be mistaken, but my heart has spoken
I cannot redirect my feelings
The waves have parted
Daddy don't be mad that I'm leaving
Please let me worry about me
Mama don't you worry about me
This is my story
Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert, snow
We'll say goodbye to the friends we know
This is our Exodus '04
Through traffic jams in Tokyo
New music on the radio
We'll say goodbye to the world we know
This is our Exodus '04
I'm listening to a music never ending
My baby don't you know I'll never let you down
You've opened me to so many different endings
But baby I know that you'll always be around
Through mountains high and valleys low
The ocean, through the desert, snow
We'll say goodbye to the friends we know
This is our Exodus '04
Through traffic jams in Tokyo
New music on the radio
We'll say goodbye to the world we know
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man
The thunder and the rain called you and you came
We didn't need to say much to communicate
Now it's different; 99% is misinterpreted
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man
Every word you say finds a home in me
Nothing that anyone could ever say
Could hurt me like this
Baby please, don't light that cigarette
Don't light that cigarette
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man
I really wanna tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really wanna tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man
Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really wanna tell me something, but you can't
[Chorus 1:]
I still remember the ways that you touched me
Now I know I don't mean anything to you
You're Easy Breezy and I'm Japaneesy
Soon you'll mean exactly nothing to me
And that means...
You look stupid telling all your friends how you got the best of me
I intended to share the pleasure only
Now I look stupid
We're living in a world with a lot of pressure
It's quite unneeded to put more pressure on me
You came and went and left my house
Like a breeze just passing by
Hello, Goodbye
You left a note saying "'Twas nice stopping by"
I should've never ever let you inside
[Chorus 2:]
I still remember the ways that you touched me
Now I know I don't mean anything to you
You're Easy Breezy and I'm Japaneesy
Soon you'll mean exactly nothing to me
Does that mean anything to you
Easy Breezy
Do you whistle to hide that you're feeling lonely
How do I breathe with all this pressure on me
Easy Breezy
When you wrestle, you know that you hurt somebody
How do I breathe with all this pressure on me
You came and went and left my house
Like a breeze just passing by
Konnichiwa, Sayonara
'Twas nice of you to stop by
Would it amuse you if I told you that I...
[Chorus 2:]
I still remember the ways that you touched me
Now I know I don't mean anything to you
You're Easy Breezy and I'm Japaneesy
Soon you'll mean exactly nothing to me
Does that mean anything to you
[Chorus 2:]
I still remember the ways that you touched me
Now I know I don't mean anything to you
You're Easy Breezy and I'm Japaneesy
Soon you'll mean exactly nothing to me
Does that mean anything to you
She's got a new microphone
Late at night I think about you sometimes
I don't cry, I wonder if you're alright
Late at night I think about you sometimes
Wonder why I wonder if you're alright
Thinking of the love we made
Ran around, out of town, now you're back again
Confusing true love and pain
Threw it down, now I'm back on my feet again
Are you asleep
Or are you still afraid of the dark
Hugs and kisses, pictures and romances
Things that I wish I could do without
How many nights did I wander in the dark
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now
How many times did I kiss you in the dark
Watching memories depart
Then again I wonder 'bout
But I don't give a damn about you
Take a bite; the pleasure is all mine
Keep in mind I'll think about you sometimes
I'm alright; I'll think about you and I'll...
Turn this plight into a singer's delight
Living in a house of pain
Ran away, and I'm glad that I ran away
Rather be out in the rain
Now I understand why my mother ran away
No use asking
When did I start acting like such a jerk (you too)
Washing dishes, birthday wishes, watching baseball matches
The other future that I wonder 'bout
So many things I wish I didn't wonder 'bout
How many nights did I wander in the dark
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now
How many times did I kiss you in the dark
Watching memories depart
Now and then I wonder but I betcha
I betcha don't give a damn about
How many nights did I wander in the dark
Counting secrets of my heart
Now and then I wonder 'bout
Who's eating, sleeping with you now
How many times did I kiss you in the dark
Watching memories depart
Then again I wonder 'bout
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (Ooh)
What a perfect life they think you've got, right?
Problems kept inside, look neat and organized
What you need in life is some wonder
A new friend with visions like you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe (Just imagine)
My body under your body
Here we go everybody 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (Ooh)
When the thrill subsides, will you still be mine?
Worry infiltrates my head till I kill it
I fill it instead with improper visions of you
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Stay very close to the floor
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
Careful when you close the door
Nobody has to know (Synchronize it)
When we tippy toe, tippy toe (Just imagine)
Nobody has to know, body screaming MORE
On your mark set 3, 2, 1
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
Now let me see you dance on your tippy toe (Ooh)
Every time I think about you
Heaven knows I fall into a groove
You're like a great interlude
Every time I think about your body my body says ooh ooh
Every time I think about you heaven needs a prayer
Cuz you're married and you've even got a family too
Pray that they don't hear you
I was dancing with a dirty blond Texan
Charming accent but the music's playing too loud for talking
So I showed him how people in the Far East get down
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
...what a workout!
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
6.0 Make it sweet, drop another dime
I was talking with a born-again Christian
"So what's it like to start life all over?"
He said "Amen,
I feel like I've been rediscovering the tomb Tutankhamen."
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Baby don't put me down
...what a workout!
What you want, it's a done deal
Shake it, shake it
What you don't, you can forget about it, 'bout it
Up and down, feel your brainwaves jumpin' jumpin'
Make me wanna take a dive
As we count to five
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
Can you hold on someone's calling on the other line
Push it up, push it down
Pull it up, pull it down
Keep it up, keep it down
Now put me down
...what a workout!
If you want, you can come
Come get it, get it
If you don't you may really regret it, 'gret it
Up and down till your knees start shakin' shakin'
Ain't it good to be alive tonight
One life, two-time, 3 girls, 4 guys
Five ripples running up and down my spine
What a day, young boy next door passed away
Oh it makes me wanna say
I don't wanna waste another day
Can you and I start mixing gene pools
Eastern, Western people
Get naughty multilingual
I was sort of like soul searching
But your body's so jaw-dropping
Our chemistry's groundbreaking
Don't keep me waiting
Hurry up, baby hurry up, baby
Let me give you my love
Hurry up, let's turn this room into a melting pot
Giddy up, baby giddy up, baby
Let me give you my love
Buckle up, boy I know you gonna like what I got
Maybe it's not worth the wait
Maybe I should walk away
I don't wanna waste my energy
Can you and I stop acting like fools
Or move on to other people
It's funny, but I'd like to settle
I was sort of like soul searching
But your body's so jaw dropping
Some say it's rulebreaking
But times are changing
Hurry up, baby hurry up, baby
Let me give you my love
Hurry up, let's turn this room into a melting pot
Giddy up, baby giddy up, baby
Let me give you my love
Buckle up, boy I know you gonna like what I got
Let me know if what I'm feeling isn't mutual
All I know is that I'm feeling very very hot hot hot
Hurry up, baby hurry up, baby
Let me give you my love
Hurry up, let's turn this room into a melting pot
Giddy up, baby giddy up, baby
Let me give you my love
Buckle up, boy I know you gonna like what I got
Hurry up, baby hurry up, baby
Let me give you my love
Hurry up, let's turn this room into a melting pot
Giddy up, baby giddy up, baby
Let me give you my love
My baby, there's something you should know
About me, before you propose
Although we have known each other for quite a while
Whenever you need me
I'm gonna try to make it through to you
But I'm not always ready to
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
But I worry that I might have been misunderstood
I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
I can be lazy but I'll try not to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really sure that you know all about me
Up and down and down down down down we go
My baby, a lot could happen before tomorrow
Think about the pain before you take another dose
Who knows if it could be good for you after all
Whatever you give me
I'm gonna try to give you something new
Not something you've already chewed
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
Because this could be good
What's buggin' you
I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
I can be crazy when I don't want to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
What if I don't want a baby yet
Is it okay if I'm not cute and na¯ve
Up and down and down down down down we go
This could be good
So I gotta tell you, I wanna tell you
You can be shady... Whatcha goin' through?
Maybe you're not a very honest person
You say you're sure that you love me
How could that be when you keep so much from me
Turn the tables 'round, "round and 'round we go
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really ready to know more about me
Up and down and down, 'round and 'round and 'round
My time is running out
My head is turning
No matter what I do I'm stuck on you
I can't controll my hunger for more and more
'Cause all I think about is a way to get through
(All I think is about the hunger)
I can't believe
That I can't receive
'Cause this is where I belong
CHORUS
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
'cause I'm here to take everything
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
'cause I'm here to take everything
I hear the driftin' drums
from deep down under
Believing it will guide my way to you
Affraid to lose my way
along this journy
Affraid to be the one
who's gonna fade
(all I see is the fear to get lost)
I can't believe
that I can't receive
'cause this is where I belong
CHORUS
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
'cause I'm here to take everything
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
'cause I'm here to take everything
This is what I really needed
my ego is defeated
I can't just see my victory
and wish I'm beated
CHORUS
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
'cause I'm here to take everything
I want it all(I want it all)
and I want it now(and I want it now)
As a matter of fact
you better step back
You're standing out in the rain
trying to find the one to blame
control and hope have been gone
to free your mind is a thing you should know
oh gotta let go
oh you gotta let it go
come to me come to me
give you all that you need
what you want
what you feel
what you get
what is real (2x)
I know it's hard to be real
sometimes when no one cares what you feel
but there's a thing you should know
follow what you think
and you will grow
oh gotta let go
you gotta let it go
come to me come to me
give you all that you need
what you want
what you feel
what you get
what is real (2x)
I know it's hard to be real
sometimes when no one cares what you feel
oh gotta let go
you gotta let it go
come to me come to me
give you all that you need
what you want
what you feel
what you get
I used to think that we all never leave
I used to think I'll never say goodbye
Believed I'd live a thousand years
Nothing seemed impossible
But I have learned that nothing ever stays
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Nothing stays
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Nothing stays
Take my hand and lead me through the cold night
I'm so afraid to be alone
Can someone tell my why we're here
And tell my why I live in fear
The answers I'll find in me
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Nothing stays
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
I am someone to believe in
To share my mind
I use someone I should stay with
I could forgive
I know you're not
I know you can't
'Cause you don't care about me
One day
You will need my but I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Someday
You will miss me but I'll be gone
You're not the one
I am no one you can play with
You can't deny
I am no one who walks behind you
To be a second best
I know you're not
I know you can't
'Cause you don't care about me
One day
You will need but I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Someday
You will miss me but I'll be gone
You're not the one
Can't you feel the anger in my veins?
Can't you feel the anger in my veins?
Yeah
Feel the anger
Feel the anger
One day
You will need me but I'll be gone
I'll be gone
Someday
You will miss me but I'll be gone
You're not the one
One day
One day
Someday
You will miss me but I'll be gone
No one told her life can be evil
With that hope and believing
No one told her it’s true
Late at night when it’s fire and the moon shines
She looks peart in that smilings
But only at night
And tears will grow in her eyes
And she couldn’t let them fall
She lost her smile today
Her love turns into grey
Why can’t we see ?
‘Cause we’re watching another clip on MTV
She lost her smile today
Her hope has faded away
Why can’t we see ?
Just another clip on MTV
In her innocent heart only pieces
No hate no in loving
She as pure as a verse
Is there anyone out there who wants this ?
You should step out and watch this
You’ve taken back his words
And tears will grow in his eyes
And he has to let them fall
She lost her smile today
Her love turns into grey
Why can’t we see ?
‘Cause we’re watching another clip on MTV
She lost her smile today
Her hope has faded away
Why can’t we see ?
Just another clip on MTV
When the morning comes and the sun begins to shine
She wants to hideaway (oh runaway)
No open arms his arms too
It’s a misery
She lost her smile today
Her love turns into grey
Why can’t we see ?
‘Cause we’re watching another clip on MTV
She lost her smile today
Her hope has faded away
Why can’t we see ?
Just another clip on MTV

Flip back through the book of my life
See your page and I close my eyes
Don't wanna know what you did last night
I must be blind
I did the best that I could do
To be a part of your damn life
Maybe I was not good enough
Maybe you're too blind
If you ever knew what I really feel for you
You wouldn't break my heart in two, no
Now it's too late
Too bad you never said how much you care
Too bad you did not acknowledge I was there
I know
You know
It was there
Now it's too late, it's the end
Goodbye my friend
Never thought you could be so cold
So many things we have left untold
I don't wanna fight no more for your time
Who the hell do you think you are?
A masterprice or a superstar?
I don't wanna ever see your page again
If you ever knew what I really feel for you
You wouldn't break my heart in two, no
Now it's too late
Too bad you never said how much you care
Too bad you did not acknowledge I was there
I know
You know
It was there
Now it's too late, it's the end
Goodbye my friend, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now it's too late, it's the end
Goodbye my friend
Sometimes I just think about
Think about
How it would be if you were mine
I don't know what to do
What to do
Be mine, be mine, mine, mine
Too bad you never said how much you care
Too bad you did not acknowledge I was there
I know
You know
It was there
Now it's too late, it's the end
Goodbye my friend
Too bad you never said how much you care
Too bad you did not acknowledge I was there
I know
You know
It was there
Now it's too late, it's the end
One two three..
I am sick of all the people
Or ever dowded what I say
'Cause you left me in the rain
And there was nothing else then pain

After all the pain I was going through
I've tried to find I friend in you
Tried to make it up to you
I can't stay 'cause you're driving me insane
I can't believe it
All the things you put me through
Maybe I mean it
When I say I'm over you
I don't need a reason
I've got nothing up to lose
Will you think surprise when I say goodbye
'Cause I'm on my way
Feel good since I left you
I can breathe
Free to do what I want
There's no one trying to control me
Nobody making me bad look
And I can't believe I'm leaving you
There is nothing that you can do
I can't stay 'cause you're driving me insane
I can't believe it
All the things you put me through
Maybe I mean it
When I say I'm over you
I don't need a reason
I've got nothing up to lose
Will you think surprise when I say goodbye
'Cause I'm on my way
I can't believe it
All the things you put me through
Oh no no no

All the things you put me through
Maybe I mean it
When I say I'm over you
I don't need a reason
I've got nothing up to lose
I can't believe it, no
Things you put me through
Maybe I mean it
Will you be surprised when I say goodbye
'Cause I'm on my way
I can't believe it
All the things you put me through
Maybe I mean it
When I say I'm over you
I don't need a reason
I've got nothing up to lose
Will you be surprised when I say goodbye
'Cause I'm on my way
Will you be surprised when I say goodbye
(*sample of Milk saying "I don't care" repeats w/ variations*)
[Milk]
Yo, my name is Milk, when Milk is on the mic
I say all the rhymes you MC's hate
I really don't care what you think or say
I gotta bust a rhyme in my own special way
Giz is my brother, mom is my mother
Dee is my father, you say why bother?
Because they put me here on this earth
Lyte is on my side and she is worth
more to me than you, forget your crew
It doesn't matter what you say, or what you do
I'll keep on rockin, I roll too quick
All you groupies make me sick
The King is my boy cause he's down with us
First Priority's the label, that we trust
I really don't care if you're big and bad
I'm makin more money than you wish you had
Girls step up if they know what time it is
The left to Milk, the right to Giz
I never throw a mic cause I have respect
And when I come, I come correct
To my left to my right I have bodyguards
And in my wallet, credit cards
In my pockets, hundreds, and more
I give it to your mother, cause your mother's - a stunt
I really don't care if you're gettin mad
I call you son, son, you call me dad
I never take drugs, I like to drink
milk, it helps me grow and think
like a champ, suckers I vamp
Soggy MC's will always stay damp
In my presence, and in my residence
I keep keys to my car, I go real far
to pick up my money
I think it's dope, you think it's fun-ny
(*sample of Milk saying "I don't care" repeats w/ variations*)
[Milk]
But, you, never ever bothered a brother like me
I have too much personality
When I produce, you say it's def
I'll pan it right then I'll pan it left
If I want I keep it right in the middle
You look puzzled, it isn't a riddle
It's, a rhyme, one, of mine
One of a kind, girls say we're fine
What's on your mind, you said I'm through?
You must be stupid, the Audio Two
is here to stay, every day
It doesn't matter what you think or what you say
We'll keep on rockin, keep on shockin
You'll keep lookin, starin, and mockin
Milk style, my brother
You're, a fighter, I'm, a lover
And when I'm at a jam I'm always undercover
Unless I get paid then I do, a show
When I'm finished, I always go
I got speakers, the size of your girl
Boomin the room an', shakin your world
Bigfoot feet are very big
If you're a sucker he'll help you dig
your grave, or maybe he'll save your life
Mike shot the sherriff, I took your wife
Yeah you look mean but it don't mean nuttin
You got dissed with the push of a button
You paid your quarter but the game didn't start
It broke your money and it broke your heart
I stepped up and the game, begins
In this situation I surely win
I am the Milk like the milk you drink
I don't care what you say or what you think
I'll keep on movin, keep on slayin
Groovin MC's that think I'm playin
On, the mic, my style, you like
If you don't then leave..
And I'll end this jam with time to breathe, boy!
Yo man, I love me some apples
Get out of here, pears are the move
Pears? Peaches are the move
Peaches? I like bananas ("Brooklyn style")
Bananas??
[Chorus]
*singing* I like cherries cause cherries taste better
and grapes are sour, AHH, I'll ask for more
AHH, I'll ask for more
I like cherries cause cherries taste better
and grapes are sour
*cutting and scratching* "Bust a move"
Yo Milk... what kind of fruit, do you like?
I don't like bananas, I don't like peaches
I don't like fruit I bite and it screeches
[Chorus]
If a lime's to a lemon and a lemon's to a lime
Why do cherries taste better, all the time?
I don't know about that but you just shouldn't miss
Just sit back relax and yo, bust this
A philosopher once said
that "life is a bowl of cherries"
*singing* AHH, I'll ask for more
AHH, I'll ask for more
[Chorus - last two lines]
*cutting and scratching* "From the Audio Two"
"Milk D, from the Audio Two"
"From the Audio Two"
"Gizmo, Gizmo"
"Go for yours" (3X)
"Go for yours while I go for mine"
Yo Milk, what kind of pie do you like?
I don't like those that's old and stale
With burnt up crust and fruit that's pale
[Chorus]
*cutting and scratching* "Brooklyn style"
Yo Gizmo man, what kind of GIRLS do you like?
I like the girls that pass the test
And I like those girls that are so......
People call me Milk, cause Milk is my name
MC am I, and I are the same
People call me Milk, because I like it that way
MC am I, is what I say
Now put it to music, I didn't have the time
To put a dope beat to this def rhyme, so
I did the lyrics, you do the beat
Then put it to music, will be complete, the
"Super Producer" -- is Giz and me
I can't forget Daddy-O because he's D the
"Super Producer" -- is K.C. and Paul
Like hardcore we've got it all
"My attitude is hyper" -- you can ask Giz
That's how it was and that's how it is
Wo-word to Big Bird boy, we can we can do this
"I-I-I got mine so" let's get through this
"I'm gettin busier" can't you tell
"I got the rhymes" that sound so well
"My way" is better, got it good
If you didn't know well now you should
"Why does it scratch?" because it's me
"What is it a blizzard?" "Hell no!" It's Milk D
"We got some non-believers out there" Where?
I get the paper so I don't care
About what "they ask" and I say not you
Since you understood -- I'm through
