POP SONG LYRICS

Vertigo - U2

Unos, dos, tres, catorce [1,2,3,14]
Turn it up loud, captain!
Lights go down
It's dark
The jungle is your head
Can't rule your heart
I'm feeling so much stronger
Than I thought
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul
it can't be bought
your mind can wander
Hello, Hello
Hola!
I'm at a place called vertigo (¿Dónde está?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel
The night is full of holes
Those bullets rip the sky
Of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance
At least they knowI can't stand the beat
I'm askin' for the cheque
Girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round the neck
Swinging to the music
All this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want
And no one gets hurt
You're teaching me
Your love is teaching me
How to kneel

Leaving New York - R.E.M.
It's quiet now, and what it brings is everything...
Comes calling back a brilliant night, I'm still awake
I looked ahead I'm sure I saw you there
You don't need me to tell you now, that nothing can compare
You might have laughed if I told you
You might have hidden the frown
You might have succeeded in changing me
I might have been turned around
It's easier to leave than to be left behind
Leaving was never my proud
Leaving New York never easy
I saw the life fading out
Now life is sweet and what it brings I tried to take...
The loneliness, it wears me out, it lies in wait
And on our lost till in my eyes, shadow of necklace across your thigh
I might have lived my life in a dream, but i swear, this is real
Memory fuses in shattered-out glass, but carry your future, forget the past
But it's you, it's what i feel.
You might have laughed if I told you (it's pulling me apart)
You might have hidden the frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the light fading out
You find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart
You find it in your heart, change...
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
I told you ,I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
I told you, forever, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, it's pulling me apart)
I told you, I love you, I love you, forever (you find it in your heart, change)
You might have laughed if I told you (forever, forever,I told You, forever)
You might have hidden the frown (change)
You might have succeeded in changing me (it's pulling me apart)
I might have been turned around (change)
It's easier to leave than to be left behind (it's pulling me apart)
Leaving was never my proud (change)
Leaving New York never easy (it's pulling me apart)
I saw the life fading out (change)

The Outsiders - R.E.M.
You took me to the restaurant where we first met
You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against
I don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regret
Now I'm trying to remember
The feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew
Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you
Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us
A man walks away when every muscle says to stay. How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy. Who says what changes may come? Who says what we call home? I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades. The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid. I've been a million times in my mind. This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality. Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe. Let it go and run towards the sea. They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean. They don't understand, they don't know what you mean. They don't get it, I wanna scream. I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream. I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King: I am not afraid.



Each coming Night - Iron & Wine

Will you say when I’m gone away
"My lover came to me and we'd lay
In rooms unfamiliar but until now"
Will you say to them when I’m gone
"I loved your son for his sturdy arms
We both learned to cradle then live without"
Will you say to me when I’m gone
"Your face has faded but lingers on
Because light strikes a deal with each coming night"
