Pink Floyd - Time

Ticking away the moments 
That make up a dull day 
Fritter and waste the hours 
In an off-hand 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 the one day you find 
Ten years have got behind you 
No one told you when to run 
You missed the starting gun 

(Solo) 

And you run and you run 
To catch up with the sun 
But it's sinking 

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 is 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 
Tolling on the iron bell 
Calls the faithful to their knees 
To hear the softly spoken magic spell...

Fun - We Are Young

Give me a second 
Act, I need to get my story straight 
My friends are in the bathroom 
Getting higher than the Empire State 
My lover she's waiting for me 
Just across the bar 
My seats been taken by some sunglasses 
Asking 'bout a scar 
And I know I gave it to you months ago 
I know you're trying to forget 
But between the drinks and subtle things 
The holes in my apologies 
You know I'm trying hard to take it back 
So if by the time the bar closes 
And you feel like falling down 
I'll carry you home 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/fun/we+are+young_20984448.html ] 
Now I know that I'm not 
All that you got 
I guess that I 
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart 
But our friends are back 
So let's raise a cup 
Cause I found someone to carry me home 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's the set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 

Carry me home tonight 
Just carry me home tonight 
Carry me home tonight 
Just carry me home tonight 

The world is on my side 
I have no reason to run 
So will someone come and carry me home tonight 
The angels never arrived 
But I can hear the choir 
So will someone come and carry me home 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 

Tonight 
We are young 
So let's set the world on fire 
We can burn brighter 
Than the sun 

So if by the time the bar closes 
And you feel like falling down 
I'll carry you home tonight

Alex Clare - Too Close

You know I'm not one to break promises 
I don't want to hurt you, but I need to breathe 
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend 
But there's something inside, that I need to release 
Which way is right? which way is wrong? 
How do I say that I need to move on? 

You know we're headed separate ways 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
There's nothing I can really say 
I can't lie no more. I can't hide no more. 
Got to be true to myself 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
So I'll be on my way 

You've given me more that I can return 
Yet there's so much that you deserve 
Nothing to say, nothing to do, 
I've nothing to give 
I must leave without you 

You know we're headed separate ways 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
There's nothing I can really say 
I can't lie no more. I can't hide no more. 
Got to be true to myself 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
So I'll be on my way 

So I'll be on my way 

And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
There's nothing that I can really say 
I can't lie no more. I can't hide no more. 
Got to be true to myself 
And it feels like I am just too close to love you 
So I'll be on my way 

So I'll be on my way 

So I'll be on my way

Fun - Some Nights

Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck. 
Some nights, I call it a draw. 
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle 
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off 

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost 
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
Most nights, I don't know anymore... oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh. 
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh 

This is it, boys, this is war, what are we waiting for? 
Why don't we break the rules already? 
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white 
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, 
but here they come again to jack my style 

And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight 
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am 
Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I? mmm... mmm... 

Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end 
Cause I could use some friends for a change 
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again 
Some nights, I always win, I always win... 

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost 
Oh Lord, I still not sure what I stand for 
What do I stand for? What do I stand for? 
Most nights, I don't know... (come on) 

So this is it? I sold my soul for this? 
Washed my hands of that for this? 
I miss my mom and dad for this? 

No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars that's all they are 
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on 
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, oh come on! 

Well, This is it, guys, that is all - five minutes in and I'm bored again 
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands 
This one is not for the folks back home; 
Sorry to leave, mom, I had to Go 
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun? 

My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love" 
Man when I look into my nephew's eyes... 
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from... 
Some terrible lies... ahhh... oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh 
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh 

The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me 
I called you up, but we'd both agree 
It's for the best you didn't listen 
It's for the best we get our distance... oh... 
It's for the best you didn't listen 
It's for the best we get our distance... oh...


Some Nights lyrics
