Ben Folds ~ Philosophy
Wont you look up at the skyline At the mortar block and glass And check out the reflections In my eyes You see they always Used to be there Even when this all was grass And I sang and danced About a high-rise
You were laughing at My helmet hat Laughing at my torch
Chorus Go ahead you can Laugh all you want I got my philosophy Keeps my feet on the ground And I trust it like the ground And thats why my philosophy(my phil-) It keeps me walking when Im falling down(o-so-phy) I see that there is evil And I know that there is good And the inbetweens I never understood Wont you look at me Im crazy But I get the job done Yeah Im crazy But I get the job done
Chorus
I pushed you cause I loved you guys I didnt realize You werent having fun I dragged you up the stairs And I told you to fly You were flapping your arms You started to cry You were too high Too high
You may take this all for granted Take the mortar, block and glass And you forget the speech That moved the stone Its really not the you cant see The forest for the trees Youve never been out In the woods before
Go ahead you can laugh All you want But I got my philosophy Keeps my feet on the ground And I love you Youre my friend But you got no philosophy Now its time for this song to end

You're my girl Blu! Ben Folds -- Fair He shouted out his last word And he stumbled through the yard And she shattered her last china plate And spun off in the car When he lunged onto the hood She stopped to tell him shed been wrong He was thrown head over heels Into the traffic coming on But then All is fair in love Did you get my other letters Sometimes I think I oughta call Cause you know I often Wonder if you open them at all Every couple nights or so You know you pop into my dreams I just cant get rid of you Like you got rid of me Ohh but I send my best Cause God knows youve seen my worstBut then all is fair in love All this breathing in never breathing out I guess she made her way Through the mob too late to hear him say That hed gotten all hed wanted A crowd to watch him bear the pain Hed been keeping in So what- All is fair in love

Ben Folds - Selfless, Cold, and Composed
I said what you wanted to hear and what I wanted to say so, I will take it back are all of the dishes in tact? let them be broken broken it's easy to be easy and free when it doesn't mean anything you remain selfless, cold and composed
you've done me no favor to call and be nice telling me I can take anything I like you don't owe me to be so polite you've done no wrong and you've done no wrong get out of my sight
it's easy to be easy and free when it doesn't mean anything to remain selfless, cold and composed
come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin don't just stare like you never cared I know you did but you just smile like a bank teller blankly telling me: "have a nice life"
come on baby, now throw me a right to the chin just one sign that could show me that you give a shit but you just smile, politely and I grow weaker and I
said what you wanted to hear and what I wanted to say so, I will take it back
it's easy to be easy and free when it doesn't mean anything and it doesn't mean anything you can take anything you can take anything
you're so selfless, cold so selfless, cold so selfless, cold and composed
(cool.)

Ben Folds - Missing the War
All is quiet his tired eyes see figures jotted down and clothes all strewn around the bedroom floor Now nothing's adding up and nothing's making sense she's sleeping like a baby she doesn't know he wasn't meant for this
I'm missing the war I'm missing the war all night missing the war I'm missing the war
He drove home again pissed and beaten it's really no big deal it happens all the time it's no big deal
I'm missing the war I'm missing the war all night Missing the war I'm missing the war Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning (and I forget)
So much time so little to say
Time may fly and dreams may die The shaking voice that tells him go still thinks he might he knows he won't I'm missing the war missing the war all night missing the war I'm missing the war Ahhhhhhh OOOOOOOOOO I'm missing the war Ahhhhhhh OOOOOOOOOO I'm missing the war Ahhhhhhh OOOOOOOOOO

I Like Girls---Alice Cooper
I bought a Porsche And I'm leavin' Grand Rapids Quit my job, quit my school, Quit this place My mother cried My father was fried Hey, I've got no time, man I wanna say goodbye to my babes I like girls
I dumped Sheila on Thursday I'll drop Melissa today I'll kiss some tears off of Donna Ask if she'll call on Shauna Amanda, and Sandra and Kay I like girls, I love 'em to death
Hey Valentino! You goin' somewhere? You wouldn't sneak out on me, would you? What's that a blond hair? He must visualize himself an Errol Flynn
I see myself a suave sophisticated lover I'll meet a rich hot old Hollywood dame You see, my ultimate goal Will be my life bein' told In a penthouse letter that I can frame And keep at home. I like girls, I love 'em, oh yeah
New luggage? Did you say you were going Somewhere? Oh, just out for some fresh air. Does she have a nice pair?
He was swallowed alive by the freeway Turned into an ant on parade He bravely drove off that beast Aimed his car back to the east Why be a snack at home? I'm a feast, for the girls I like girls, I really like 'em
Well, well, well. Look who's back. Run out of gas? Patty, I was just gonna call you. Look... I left Donna and Shauna And Katy and Carrie Melissa and Dena I just didn't have any use for 'em I just want you Really, no really, honest!
Jerk off!

Freedom '90 George Michael
I won't let you down I will not give you up Gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that I've got I won't let you down So please don't give me up Because I would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows I was just a young boy Didn't know what I wanted to be I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy And I guess it was enough for me To win the race? A prettier face! Brand new clothes and a big fat place On your rock and roll TV But today the way I play the game is not the same No way Think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know I think it's time I told you so There's something deep inside of me There's someone else I've got to be Take back your picture in a frame Take back your singing in the rain I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now Is take these lies and make them true somehow All we have to see Is that I don't belong to you And you don't belong to me Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Freedom You've gotta give for what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy What a kick just a buddy and me We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy We were living in a fantasy We won the race Got out of the place I went back home got a brand new face For the boys on MTV But today the way I play the game has got to change Oh yeah Now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should know I think it's time I stopped the show There's something deep inside of me There's someone I forgot to be Take back your picture in a frame Don't think that I'll be back again I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now Is take these lies and make them true somehow All we have to see Is that I don't belong to you And you don't belong to me Freedom You've gotta give for what you take Freedom You've gotta give for what you take
Well it looks like the road to heaven But it feels like the road to hell When I knew which side my bread was buttered I took the knife as well Posing for another picture Everybody's got to sell But when you shake your ass They notice fast And some mistakes were built to last
That's what you get
I say that's what you get
That's what you get for changing your mind
And after all this time I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes Do not make the man
I'll hold on to my freedom May not be what you want from me Just the way it's got to be Lose the face now I've got to live

Korn - Blind
Are you ready?!
This place inside my mind, a place I like to hide You don't know the chances. What if I should die?! A place inside my brain, another kind of pain You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!
Another place I find to escape the pain inside You don't know the chances. What if I should die?! A place inside my brain, another kind of pain You don't know the chances. I'm so blind!
Deeper and deeper and deeper as I journey to live a life that seems to be a lost reality that can never find a way to reach. My inner selfesteem is low. How deep can I go in the ground that I lay? If I don't find a way to see through the gray that clouds my mind. This time I look to see what's between the lines!
I can see, I can see, I'm going blind... I can see, I can see, I'm going blind... I can see, I can see, I'm going blind... I can see, I can see, I'm going BLIND
I can see, I can see, I'm going blind x8
I'm blind x4

If You Want Me ~ Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
Are you really here
or am I dreaming
I can't tell dreams from truth
for it's been so long
since I have seen you
I can hardly remember
your face anymore
When I get really lonely
and the distance causes our silence
I think of you smiling
with pride in your eyes
a lover that sighs
if you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me.
Are you really sure
that you’d believe me
when others say I lie
I wonder if you could
ever despise me
when you know I really try
to be a better one
to satisfy you
for your everything to me
and I’ll do
what you ask me
if you’ll let me be
free
if you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me
If you want me satisfy me
if you want me satisfy me.
If you want me satisfy me

Never heard of that one RO... what type of song/music is it? It is from the movie ONCE...based on Glen Hansard's life. If you haven't seen it...it is good. I own it...you can borrow mine. I have all of his CD's. The Frames was the band he was in before that. If you want some of it...let me know. I am mailing a HUGE package to jules... I can include you too. It's Irish...you would like it! I think it might be classified under folk like Ben Folds...
