Absolute (Album: "The Fray" (2009)) (THE FRAY LYRICS)

.

I've seen this one before, the girl she gets away
Everybody knows it but no one tries to stop it
Cause she barely even knows him but if she could see inside
Everything is quiet as she waits to tell him who she is

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

It's a kiss sits upon on her lips that waits for planes and battle ships
She wants to be a dancer and he has got a picture
On his wall and it's a sailor in a new port every night
Yet man was born to trouble like sparks fly upwards innocent

Is this all we get to be absolute

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

All we are and all we want
40 years come and gone
All we are in photographs
Will never be taken

Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want you here
Quiet but I'm sure there is something here
Tell me everything cause I want to hear

If You Wanna (Album: "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?" (2011)) (THE VACCINES LYRICS)

.

I don't want to wake up in the morning
But I've got to face the day
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say

I don't want to do things independently
But I can't make you stay
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say

But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me

I don't want to see you with another guy
But the fact is that I may
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say

Give it just another couple months or so
Then you'll be ok
That's what all the friends I do not like as much as you say

Alone, all alone
I am on my own
Alone, all alone
I am on my own

But if you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me

If you wanna come back it's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me
Do you wanna come back? It's alright, it's alright
It's alright if you wanna come back to me

Wetsuit (Album: "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?" (2011)) (THE VACCINES LYRICS)

.

If at some point we all succumb
For goodness sake let us be young
Because time gets harder to outrun
And I'm nobody, I'm not done
With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees
I rest on childhood memories
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
You want to do things differently
And do them independently
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

Does holy water make you pure?
Submerged your vision's just obscured
You're a lot like me
In up to our knees
In over your chest is way too deep

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

Wheel Of Fortune (Album: "Strike Gently" (2013)) (THE VIRGINS LYRICS)

.

I got ugly clothes and my windows down
Oh when the fall wind blows, I'm gonna leave this town
I had an old man doctor with a strong right hand
Oh when he closed that [?] he left the locks open

Now, no matter where I go
I'll always be [?]

Baby come home and take my hand in the night
What do you got to keep you hanging round?
When the tide is rising
And the moon is bright
We can turn that wheel of fortune around
We can turn that wheel of fortune around

Had a job out west, playing background scene
Oh when I cash my check, I'll crash this love machine
I met a game show quiz man, and his boyfriend too
Oh but his card said nothing, well they look for you

Now, I've got to feel again
Your hot feet on my skin

Baby come home and take my hand in the night
What do you got to keep you hanging round?
When the tide is rising
And the stars are bright
We can turn that wheel of fortune around
We can turn that wheel of fortune around

At night when I'm trying to sleep
I see your trail of waste blowing in slow motion
I try, but I can't touch your face
I hold it next to me
And I wake up, no

And I know one day you'll walk my way
Just smiling as you say

Baby come home and take my hand in the night
What do you got to keep you hanging round?
When the tide is rising
And the moon is bright
We can turn that wheel of fortune around
We can turn that wheel of fortune around

Rich Girls (Album: "The Virgins" (2008)) (THE VIRGINS LYRICS)

.

We'll walk around
Pretending we're all grown up
Hey, rich girls!
Well, can you tell me why
You're so stuck up
And act so down?

I'll tell you everything I know,
Any little thing I know. [x2]

Got a lovely way with words,
At the way you see the world,
It's just you way you see the world.

You got to know!
You got to know!

We'll walk around
Pretending we're all grown up
Hey, rich girls!
Well, can you tell me why
You're so stuck up
And act so down?

I'll tell you everything I know,
Any little thing I know. [x2]

Got a lovely way with words
At that the way you see the world,
It's just the way you see the world.

You got to know!
You got to know!

I went down to your house last weekend
You was like: "Come on man,
You don't have to point out everything that's bad.
So there's a broken mirror on my bed."
I'll clean it up, so what?
"You don't have to be such an asshole all the time.
Don't be like that," she said.

OVERdue (Album: "Eleven Roses" (2012)) (ZZ WARD LYRICS)

.

Open up your dirty eyes, look what you did,
Let me see your filthy hands, I caught 'em red,
I can smell the bullshit on your breath,
Got it written from your toes to your neck,
Baby, let the venom sink into your chest,
Tryin' to play me like a pawn, that's what you get,
Get up off your knees, bitch, no need to beg,

I don't want you back, back,
I don't want you back,
Better hit the road, road,
Like your name was Jack,
Call me on the phone, phone,
I won't call you back,
You should be alone, how do you like that?

Laugh it off, boy, I'm a lunatic,
Laugh it all the way till the truth sinks in,
Laugh it off, boy, till your teeth fall out,
Till your head just breaks,
Till your eyes fall down, down, down,

It's over to the left,
Over to the right,
Over through the day,
Over through the night,
I'm over, over, over you,
Boy, this over's overdue,

It's over to the left,
Over to the right,
Over through the day,
Over through the night,
I'm over, over, over you,
Boy, this over's overdue,

It's over to the left,
Over to the right,
Over through the day,
Over through the night,
I'm over, over, over you,
Boy, this over's overdue,

It's over to the left,
Over to the right,
Over through the day,
Over through the night,
I'm over, over, over you,
Boy, this over's overdue,

I'm over, over, over you.

Pimpin' Don't Fail Me Now (feat. Jazze Pha & Juvenile) (Album: "Ridin High" (2007)) (8BALL & MJG LYRICS)

.

[Jazze Pha - Chorus]
Pimpin' don't fail me now
I gotta turn these bitches out
Say they don't want nobody else
But me and only me
Pimpin' don't fail me now
I gotta turn these bitches out
Say they don't want nobody else
I gotta turn these bitches ooouuuttt

[MJG]
I'm about to turn you inside out
I'm about to look into your heart, through your mouth with my dick-o-scope
Been around the world, but you still can't picture no
Nigga like me, Pimp tight, the original... MJG
I'm the one who told a girl to find a trick nigga she can run to
Cry wit, hit the mall, buy shit, hate you
Thinkin' ima do it
You gonna really make me hate you
Prove sumthin, go out there and get it
Bring it back to me
Until then, you running yo mouth
You'se an act to me
You emotional bitches prolly can't stand me
But in the end, who the motherfuckin' man be?

[Jazze Pha - Chorus]

[Juvenile]
(Uh huh)
Is you somethin' like a balla, somethin' like a pimp?
(Uh huh)
It ain't no halfways, bitch I'm him
Been spending my last package, I'm done for the day
As soon as i'm done countin' up my ones, we can play
Don't know if you ever rolled with a G like this
Need you to be my other eyes when you in my shit
When you start actin' like a bitch, ima scream at...
But it ain't the situation here cuz I ain't seen that
My background messed up, I ain't a clean cat
But I fucks with you shorty, I really mean that
Holla at the homie if you ready to change
Your lifestyle
Cuz i'm livin in a differ-ent game (Off top)

[Jazze Pha - Chorus]
[8Ball]

I spit flows
Like a pimp pimps hoes
32 o's and ain't none for my nose
The pinky and the wrist and the neck stay froze
The chest keep comin and i'm livin on a roll
I meet a bunch of women (Ya)
I meet a bunch of hoes (Ya)
I gotta bunch of friends (Ya)
I gotta bunch of foes (Ya)
Good nigga, hood nigga
Walk and talk real slow
Outside fat black, but the inside glow
Shorty don't choose
She the one gon' lose
Good girls beware, Fat Boy bad news
Cars and cribs and clothes and jewels
Mama say she love Big Boy, this one here for you (O!)

[Jazze Pha - Chorus repeat until fade...]

The Streets (feat. Bun B) (Album: "Living Legends" (2004)) (8BALL & MJG LYRICS)

.

[Verse 1: 8 Ball]
Off brand niggaz we ain't fuckin with y'all
Catch up with ya kind cuz you ain't touchin a dog
Imitation fake like Gucci suits niggaz be wearin
Nigga like me hit the room and all the bitches be starin'
I'm not fine I'm not cute, they just know I got some loot
Grippin wood, lookin good '24s make them choose
Nine times out of ten the bitches bad news
Hit the dick and start actin like a motherfuckin' fool
Clothes brand new from my T-shirt to my shoes
Pop a tag every day, that's what ghetto niggaz do
Hustle hard, spread all the bread with my crew
When we in the club they be poppin bottles too
We crunk and keep it hype and everybody know it's on
When my work hits the street watch how quick that shit be gone
I rap like I'm quick enough but catch 'em full of zones
When my work hits the street watch how quick that shit be gone, nigga

[Chorus: 8 Ball & MJG]
Street niggaz (keep your guns hit the traps
spend your bread on rims and ice, whatever them bitches like)
Street niggaz (push it all hard or ball
sticky weed, whatever ya need, man we got it all)
Street niggaz (keep your guns hit the traps
spend your bread on rims and ice, whatever them bitches like)
Street niggaz (push it all hard or ball
sticky weed, whatever ya need, man we got it all)

[Verse 2: MJG]
I'm just a street nigga I keep my heat under the seat
If a... bum run up hope he got his gun up
From sundown to sunup I keep it with me
And I end up be unloadin on y'all when y'all hit me
It's a grand shame that you niggaz come from it but can't walk through it
What is it? I thought you knew it
It was the streets nigga, my seat used to hit it when I didn't have no wheels to go get it
M J fuckin' G droppin these bars with no regards for snitches and fake broads
You ain't hard from steroids, nigga you big fraud
I remember when them bullets was takin your lunch card
I'm a real ghetto politician
and what I gotta give in to motherfuckers who willin to try to vision
When a nigga spittin', Quit all the whinin' and bitchin'
Baby sharp, look and listen, pay attention to what you been missin'
It's the --

[Chorus]

[Bridge: 8 Ball]
Yea come on..
Street niggaz, street niggaz
We sittin' on leathers and we grippin' on wood (Streets is watchin')
We makin plenty bread and reppin' our hood (Streets is watchin')
Money over bitches, man it still all good (Streets is watchin')
We makin plenty bread and we reppin' our hood (Streets is watchin')

[Verse 3: Bun B]
What can I say about these streets that I be walkin'?
Not too much cuz where I from niggaz ain't motherfuckin talkin
We'd rather listen and watch
Tryin to flex and gaurd their clothes and Baume and Mercier ? watches
Tryin' to get my gloss on
I paid the cos' to be the boss on these corners where ballin niggaz floss on
Haters get tossed on, 5-0 get ?? and out of towners get robbed
and drop that, can't nobody gonna stop that
See it was like this before me
So if you think it's time to change, nigga show me
Obviously you don't know me It's time that you learned
Niggaz that try to hold me on my grind, they get burned
I'm down from P.A., Man - West side to the east, fool
(Aw come on Bun B, dude what about peace?)
Fuck peace, fool
You want some love, ask your momma or the lord
Bitch I'm down with pimps see, UGK be goin harder

[Chorus]

Apartment (Album: "Young The Giant" (2011)) (YOUNG THE GIANT LYRICS)

.

After leaving my apartment
I feel this cold inside me
It howls away all through the market
It calls your name

Ooohh
Ooohh oohh

On my way to your apartment
I write for fear of silence
You carved a boat to sail my shadow
Now I walk alone

Ooohh
Ooohh oohh
Alright, alright

I hit the sidewalk and this is how it starts
Hide in a raincoat when things are falling apart

After leaving your apartment
I hear the coast by nightfall
So sure to keep you dreaming
You understood
Oh, I know you understood
Yes sir, it shows I was no good

Aaaahhh
Alright, alright

I hit the sidewalk and this is how it starts
Hide in a raincoat when things are falling apart

Cause sooner or later this is bound to stop
Come on, let's savor what we're falling for

After leaving your apartment
I hear the coast...

God Made Man (Album: "Young The Giant" (2011)) (YOUNG THE GIANT LYRICS)

.

You never know the weight of your crimes
But when all the gates have closed and you're tired
You stand a while by the fire
And it burns bright
A while, a while, you sit quiet

Inside you're so warm
Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise
Far from here

I never know the state that you're in
It's obvious to climb in your skin
But I know how to walk across
When it's silent inside, it feels right
Inside you're so warm

Your eyes open up
To the sunrise
To the sunrise

Cause I want you to know
That I know
Cause I want you to know
That I know
Cause I want you to know
That I know
Cause I want you to know
That I just

(God made man
And his reason)

Strings (Album: "Young The Giant" (2011)) (YOUNG THE GIANT LYRICS)

.

Oh what did I say?
She's all shook up
Lost in the summer, man
We're burning up
The time don't show
When the sun gets carried
The tide curves off your body
Oh you'll stay with me

I, now I will show you
It's how I lie
When no one told you

Oh what did I say?
She's all shook up
Vision by the seaside
We move
But I don't know
When the fire gets hazy
The flames roll down and off her body
Oh you'll stay with me

I, now I will show you
It's how I lie
When no one told you

So ride, Sherry, ride, Sherry, ride
I will show you
We'll go in the night
Wondering why no one told you

Now I can walk the stones of the shoreline
And taste the ocean salt when the cold shines
My words are rolling soft down your south side

I, now I will show you
It's how I lie
When no one told you

So ride, Sherry, ride, Sherry, ride
I will show you
We'll go in the night
Wondering why no one told you

Why, you know it goes, you know it goes
Why, you know it goes, you know it goes
Why it goes

My Understandings (Album: "The Flood" (2011)) (OF MICE & MEN LYRICS)

.

[2x]
I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're overrated
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world.
Keep in mind that I'm a sore eye with blurry vision.
But I can see it has to be your love that I've been dreaming of.
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die.

I'll never die.
