Pet Shop Boys: Numb



Don't wanna hear the news
What's going on
What's coming through
I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Just wanna hide away
Make my my escape
I want the world
To leave me alone
Feels like I feel too much
I've seen too much
For a little while
I want to forget

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

Can't find no space to breathe
World's closing in
Right on me now
Well that's how it feels
That's how it feels
Too much light
There's too much sound
Wanna turn it off
Wanna shut it out
I need some relief
Think that like I think too much
I've seen too much
There is just too much
Thought in my head

I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be
Taken away from all the madness
Need to escape
Escape from the pain
I'm out on the edge
About to lose my mind
For a little while
For a little while
I wanna be numb

I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I don't wanna feel this pain no more
Wanna lose touch
I just wanna go and lock the door
I don't wanna think
I don't wanna feel nothing
I wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb
I just wanna be
Wanna be numb

Eurythmics
Love Is A Stranger

Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff

It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris

And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession

now this song is a cockney classic but its a great love song

Chas And Dave - There Ain't No Pleasin' You



Well I built my life around you, did what I thought was right.
But you never cared about me, now I’ve seen the light.
Oh darling, there ain’t no pleasin’ you.

You seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong.
I should have known it, all along.
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you.

You only ‘ad to say the word,
And you knew I’d do it.
You ‘ad me where you wanted me,
But you went and blew it.

Now everything I ever done, was only done for you.
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do,
I’m tellin’ you.

Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more,
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you.

And you seemed to think that everything I ever did was wrong.
I should ‘ave known it all along,
That darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you.

You only ‘ad to say the word,
And you knew I’d do it.
You ‘ad me where you wanted me,
But you went and blew it.

Now everything I ever done, was only done for you.
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do,
I’m tellin’ you.

Coz I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more,
You done it once too often, what do ya take me for?
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasin’ you.

Now if you think I don’t mean what I say, and I’m only bluffin’.
You got another thing comin’, I’m tellin’ you that for nothin’.
Coz darlin’ I’m leavin’,
That’s what I’m gonna...do-oo-oo

This song is a classic too:

Bob Dylan
It Ain't Me

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Sam Brown - Stop



All that I have is all that you've given me
did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
and I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
you talk of love but you don't know how it feels
when you realise that you're not the only one

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away
but it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
so I just resign myself to it every day
now all I can do is to leave it up to you

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

Stop if love me
(you will remember)
now's the time to be sorry
(that day forever)
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me

Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart
you'd better stop before you go and break my heart
ooh you'd better stop

I've been feeling like this too much lately:

Edie Brickell And The New Bohemians
Circle

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around
Me, I think it all depends
On you touching ground with us.
But, I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems.
And I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else
It seems.

And being alone
Is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
The best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
The best way to be.
When I'm by myself
Nobody else can say goodbye.

Everything is temporary anyway.
When the streets are wet --
The color slip into the sky.
But I don't know why that means you and I are
- that means you and....
I quit -- I give up.
Nothin's good enough for anybody else it seems.
But I quit. I give up.
Nothing's good enough for anybody else it seems.

And being alone
Is the best way to be.
When I'm by myself it's
The best way to be.
When I'm all alone it's
The best way to be.
When I'm by myself
Nobody else can say...

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends
And we notice you don't come around.

Halalalalalala

Princess - "After The Love Has Gone"



I read the words time and time again

I could not believe my eyes.
You broke my heart in ev'ry line - how you hurt me!
When I think about how it used to be

We'd see each other every day.
Now you say things have changed - how you hurt me!

After the love has gone
how can I go on?
When there's nothing anyone can do
I'm still in love with you.
After the love has gone - love has gone - oh
I must be strong

But life must go on after the love has gone.

I gave you ev'rything
I gave you all my love

How you make me feel secure.
But now you shut the door - how you hurt me!

After the love has gone
how can I go on? . . .

When there's nothing anyone can do
I'm still in love with you.
After the love has gone - love has gone - oh
I must be strong

But life must go on after the love has gone.
After the love has gone
how can I go on?
When there's nothing anyone can do
I'm still in love with you.

Janet Kay - Silly Games



I’ve been wanting you
For so long, it’s a shame
Oh, baby
Every time I hear your name
Oh, the pain
Boy, how it hurts me inside

‘Cause every time we meet
We play hide and seek
I’m wondering what I should do
Should I, dear, come up to you
And say, “How do you do?”
Would you turn me away

You’re as much to blame
‘Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I’ve got no time to live this love
No, I’ve got no time to play your silly games
Silly games

Yet, in my mind I say
“If he makes his move today
I’ll just pretend to be shocked”
Oh, baby
It’s a tragedy
That you hurt me
We don’t even try

You’re as much to blame
‘Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I’ve got no time to live this love
No, I’ve got no time to play your silly games
Silly games

Silly games
Silly games (No, don’t wanna play)
Silly games (Your silly)

No, I’ve got no time to play your silly games

No

this tune is so cool

Culture Club - Victims



The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange pieces we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have that strangest void for you
We love and we never tell
What pieces our hearts in the wishing well
Love lead us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been
And I keep on loving you
It's the only thing to do
When the angel sings
There are greater things
Can I give them all to you
Pull the strings of emotion
Take a ride into unknown pleasure
Fell like a child
On a dark night
Wishing there was some kind of heaven
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well
The victims we know so well
They shine in your eyes
When they kiss and tell
Strange places we never see
But you're always there
Like a ghost in my dream
And I keep on telling you
Please don't do the things you do
When you do those things
Pull my puppet strings
I have the strangest void for you
Show my heart some devotion
Push aside those that whisper never
Feel like a child on a dark night
Wishing we could spend it together
I could be warm with your smiling
Hold out your hand for a while
The victims
We know them so well

this is such a cool smoochie
