Alexisonfire - This Could Be Anywhere in the World (Crisis, 2006)
this town is his cause burying my neck this air it takes off, without rushing, without haste
the streets are in distress, the sun suffocates behind darkened skies the grass is growing under my feet i'm thinking it wont be long before you get
the line-up seems endless, underneath the salvation sign we are the dead ones, we are the lost cause we are the people who will not blame ourselves from this cause
the city, the city is haunted, by ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) because this city, this city is haunted. theres no hope. (hope) left for these souls (souls)
every step i take, i leave a small piece of myself behind soon there will be nothing left
the cracks in the pavement, match the cracks in their weathered skin, the skies a brick wall, the clouds a juggernaut each day as we know I stare in amazement, I cant believe this is where I live every breath i take, i feel my lungs fail
the city, the city is haunted, by ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) because this city, this city is haunted. theres no hope. (hope) left for these souls (souls)
Our steps seal fate Our steps seal fate (this is our celebration come join the lost souls) [x2]
the city, the city is haunted walk with us
the city, the city is haunted, by ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) because this city, this city is haunted. theres no hope. (hope) left for these souls (souls)
Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom (10, 9, 8, 7) Commencing countdown, engines on (6, 5, 4, 3) Check ignition, and may God's love be with you (2, 1, liftoff)
This is ground control to Major Tom You've really made the grade And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to ground control I'm stepping through the door And I'm floating in a most peculiar way And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can Far above the world Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do
Though I'm past 100,000 miles I'm feeling very still And I think my spaceship knows which way to go Tell my wife I love her very much She knows
Ground control to Major Tom Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you
Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the moon Planet Earth is blue, and there's nothing I can do.
A menudo pienso en mi sin lugar a donde ir Sin nada que decir... Y esa extraña sensación que me ignora sin perdón esconde confusión.
Y ahora he desplazado el tiempo hacia mi lado orientando a otra latitud. Giro hacia un espacio indeterminado que resuelva mi ansiedad.
En mi nombre he de juzgar aquello que hice mal. Y en mi nombre no habrá más que ganas de luchar.
Toda un sucesión de momentos sin control se agolpan sobre mi. Necesito recordar para no volver jamás espero no fallar.
Y ahora he desplazado el tiempo hacia mi lado a riesgo de no encontrar. Lo que estoy buscando queda solo a un paso no me voy a defraudar.
En mi nombre he de juzgar aquello que hice mal. Y en mi nombre no habrá más que ganas de luchar.
He llegado a estar atado inmovilizado y no sé porqué. Amordazado, alucinado sin necesidad de estar a sus pies. Pero he vuelto y no contemplo esconderme y no saber que hacer. Sólo acepto, tan sólo acepto haberme equivocado una vez.
The Offspring - All I Want (Ixnay On The Hombre, 1997)
Okay
Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya
Day after day your home life's a wreck The powers that be just breathe down your neck You get no respect You get no relief You gotta speak up And yell out your piece
So back off your rules Back off your jive Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive Leave me alone Not asking a lot I don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want
Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya
How many times is it gonna take Till someone around you hears what you say You've tried being cool You feel like a lie You've played by their rules Now it's their turn to try
So back off your rules Back off your jibe Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive Leave me alone Not asking a lot I just don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want
I said it before I'll say it again If you could just listen then it might make sense
So back off your rules Back off your jibe Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive Leave me alone Not asking a lot Just don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want
