Castle on the Hill by Ed Sheeran


When I was six years old I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down

I was younger then
Take me back to when

I found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
I know I've grown
But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right

I was younger then,
Take me back to when

We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown
But I can't wait to go home

I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can't wait to go home

And I'm on my way
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill

All In by Adelitas Way



Till the day I die, I came to win
Everything I got I'm, all in
All in
All in
All in
All in

Go big or go home, I'm setting the tone
I'm letting 'em know, all in
I'm playing the game, ain't playing it safe
I'm raising the stakes, all in
From nothing to something, I'm rising above it
From nothing to something is all that I wanted I'm
All in

Till the day I die I came to win everything I got I'm all in
Gonna let it ride double down again it's a way of life I'm all in
Anytime anyplace any night any day
I'm stepping up to the plate
Till the day I die I play to win
Till the day I die I'm
All in
I'm all in
I'm all in

Go for the gold, history shows
Gotta be bold, all in
Trusting my gut, pushing my luck
It's all in the touch, all in
From nothing to something I'm rising above it,
From nothing to something but fuck it I love it
I'm all in

Till the day I die I came to win everything I got I'm all in
Gonna let it ride double down again it's a way of life I'm all in,
Anytime anyplace any night any day
I'm stepping up to the plate
Till the day I die I play to win till the day I die I'm
All in
I'm all in
I'm all in

From nothing to something I'm rising above it,
From nothing to something but fuck it I love it I'm all in
Till the day I die I came to win everything I got I'm all in
Gonna let it ride double down again it's a way of life I'm all in,
Anytime anyplace any night any day
I'm stepping up to the plate
Till the day I die I play to win till the day I die I'm
All in
I'm all in
I'm all in

Till the day I die

Rain King by Counting Crows


When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird

Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more

And I belong in the service of the queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying and I've been thinking
And I am the rain king

And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone"
'Cause I can't go outside, I'm scared I might not make it home
Well I'm alive, I'm alive, but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
Why don't you invite me in?

Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more

And I belong in the service of the queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying and I've been sinking
And I am the rain king

Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming, I come home again

When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dying, lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
In the belly of a black-winged bird

Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more

And I belong in the service of the queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying and I've been drinking
And I am the rain king

Well I said that "I am the rain king"
Well I said, "I, I, I, I, I, well I am the rain king", yeah

Read the Book (Don't Wait for the Movie) by Whiteheart


Television subdivision
He sees it on his advent screen
The cable's on, the tape is running
So he won’t miss a thing
I asked him if he knew Jesus
He said what channel is He on

While he sees the latest feature
A Bible sits collecting dust
TV Guide and program listings
The only place he puts his trust
Who says a wealth of information
Has to be filmed on location

Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie
Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie

All the lines keep getting longer
To see the latest horror show
Degeneration of a generation
Tell me where’d the Bible go

I asked them if they knew Jesus
Is He in a theatre near you
I said, "No, He's the Messiah"
"Do you think He'll get good reviews"

Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie
Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie

(The management of this theatre
Requests that you take a moment to
Familiarize yourself with the
Emergency exits located at either the
Right or the left of your life)

Hollywood says the movie's better
Special effects are the thing
But the miracles of the Father
They can never be put on screen

Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie
Read the Book
Don't wait for the movie

I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift


Once upon a time, a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies. He'll never see you cry
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (yeah)
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been (Never been)
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (Knew it right there)
So shame on me now (Knew it right there)
Flew me to places I'd never been (Ooh)
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble

Run to You by Whitney Houston


I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
Oh, a girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?

Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night, I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
Oh, what's the sense
Of trying hard to find your dreams
Without someone to share it with?
Tell me, what does it mean?

I wanna run to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I wanna run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?

Run away

I need you here
I need you here to wipe away my tears
To kiss away my fears, no
If you only knew
How much I wanna run

...to you
I wanna run to you
Won't you hold me in your arms
And keep me safe from harm?
I'll run to you
But if I come to you
Tell me, will you stay or will you run away?

One Shot by Lansdowne


I wanna know what it feels like
To get a taste for your appetite
Lay it down on the bar room floor
Let the whole room watch while you're screaming, screaming

We can move into your bedroom
Switch up positions off and go for round two
Tied down gonna leave no doubt
From the first kiss, to the screaming, screaming

She'll be my favorite mistake

One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to go-o-o-o-o-o
One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to go-o-o-o-o-o

Beautiful's got an attitude
In a miniskirt and those cowboy boots
On-top ride her like a cage match
Gotta ring that bell yeah, ride it, ride it

Dirty girl had a though day
Now she's off for more than foreplay
Needs a man that'll understand what she wants right now is a good time, good time

She'll be my favorite mistake
Tell your boyfriend that you're gonna be late

One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to go-o-o-o-o-o
One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to go-o-o-o-o-o

One smile, one little kiss
I get off by the way she bites her lips
Too late, I can't deny
Here we go again

(Vocal pause)

One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to...
One shot and she's feeling better
Two shots and she's on a role
Three shots and she's begging me to go-o-o-o-o-o

Give me a Hell Yeah she's my kind of woman
Give me a Hell Yeah she's my kind of girl (Wo-o-o-o-o-o)
Give me a Hell Yeah she's my kind of woman
Give me a Hell Yeah she's my kind of girl (Wo-o-o-o-o-o)
(Wo-o-o-o-o-o)

This Is War by Five Finger Death Punch


Un, dos, tres, get the fuck up

Call me insidious, sadistic, narcissistic demon child
But tell me what's in a name, tell me it's all the same
And no one's ever gonna take my side
Ballistic, egotistic, homicidal animal
I got a predator's mind, I'd rather leave it behind
And never let it infect my skull

You want it?
You got it
Take it
This is war
You want it?
You got it
You can keep it (Yeah)
Break it off, break it off
You want it?
You got it
Take it
Motherfucker, this is war
You want it?
You got it
You can have it (Yeah)
Fuck it all, fuck it all
Yeah

You're desensitized, computerized, a product of the times
But you just follow along, always rubbing me wrong
You're so convinced that you are right
Dehumanizing, polarizing everything you see
They're just wearing you down like a rodeo clown
Or maybe that's just me

You want it?
You got it
Take it
This is war
You want it?
You got it
You can keep it (Yeah)
Break it off, break it off
You want it?
You got it
Take it
Motherfucker, this is war
You want it?
You got it
You can have it (Yeah)
Fuck it all, fuck it all
Fuck

I know you better than you fucking do
Yeah, I've seen your kind before and I ain't impressed at all
You're a snitch, you're a cheat
You're a liar and a thief
You're the weakest of the herd and you'll get what you deserve

Falling backwards
Down the hole you go

In the hole you go

You want it?
You got it
Take it
This is war
You want it?
You got it
You can keep it (Yeah)
Break it off, break it off
You want it?
You got it
Take it
Motherfucker, this is war
You want it?
You got it
You can have it (Yeah)
Fuck it all, fuck it all
You want it? (You want it?)
You got it (You got it)
Take it (Take it)
This is war
You want it? (You want it?)
You got it (You got it)
You can keep it (Yeah)
Break it off, break it off
You want it? (You want it?)
You got it (You got it)
Take it (Take it)
Motherfucker, this is war
You want it? (You want it?)
You got it (You got it)
You can have it (Yeah)
Fuck it all, fuck it all (Fuck it all, fuck it all)
Fuck

Respect by Devour the Day



Where do I even begin
How could you do this again
You think that we would stay friends
You think you’re innocent
This wasn’t part of the plan
You turned your back and you ran
But what I don’t understand
Is how you live with it

Respect, you don’t deserve it
You won’t get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you’re not worth it
I’ll never be, I’ll never be like you
Be like you

You’re like a blood-sucking leech
A parasitic disease
You only take what you need
And than you’re done with it
Face it, you wasted the work that we did
You took the easy way out

Respect, you don’t deserve it
You won’t get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you’re not worth it
I’ll never be, I’ll never be like you

Never
Never
Never

I always knew you were a coward
I knew you were a fake, a fraud
I knew you’d run like a bitch

Respect, you don’t deserve it
You won’t get any from me unless you earn it
Respect, you’re not worth it
I’ll never be, I’ll never be like you

Respect
Be like you
Be like you
Respect
Respect
