Placebo "Blue American" I wrote this novel just for you It sounds pretentious but it's true I wrote this novel just for you That's why it's vulgar That's why it's blue And I say, thank you And I say, thank you I wrote this novel just for Mom For all the mommy things she's done For all the times she showed me wrong For all the time she sang god's song And I say thank you Mom Hello Mom Thank you Mom Hi Mom I read a book about Uncle Tom Where a whitey bastard made a bomb But now Ebonics rule our song Those motherfuckers got it wrong And I ask Who is uncle Tom? Who is uncle Tom? Who is uncle Tom? You are I read a book about the self Said I should get expensive help Go fix my head Create some wealth Put my neurosis on the shelf But I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care for myself I don't care I wrote this novel just for you I'm so pretentious, yes it's true I wrote this novel just for you Just for you Just for you
Alanis Morissette "Ironic" An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Isn't it ironic...don't you think Chorus: It's like rain on your wedding day It's a free ride when you've already paid It's the good advice that you just didn't take Who would've thought...it figures Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye He waited his whole d--- life to take that flight And as the plane crashed down, he thought, "Well isn't this nice..." And isn't it ironic...don't you think CHORUS Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you When you think everything's okay and everything's going right And life has a funny way of helping you out when You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face A traffic jam when you're already late A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife It's meeting the man of your dreams And then meeting his beautiful wife And isn't it ironic...don't you think A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think... CHORUS Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out Helping you out
Natalie Imbruglia "Diving In The Deep End" Why should it be someone like me could make the same mistakes again haven't I learned people get hurt when they go diving in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end thought I was smart controlling the art, of turning of my intuition haven't I seen since I was fourteen that life is all just repetition you lose or you win you sink or you swim when you go diving in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end now it's time to realise you don't have to agonize you don't have to compromise but the one thing you must do is open your eyes open your eyes open your eyes why should it be someone like me could make the same mistakes again haven't I learned people get hurt when they go diving in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end in the deep end
Mariah Carey "Can't Take That Away" They can say anything they want to say Try to bring me down But I will not allow Anyone to succeed Hanging clouds over me And they can try hard to make me feel That I don't matter at all But I refuse to falter In what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams CHORUS: 'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me From me They can do anything they want to you lf you let them in But they won't ever win If you cling to your pride And just push them aside See I have learned there's an inner peace I own Something in my soul That they cannot possess So I won't be afraid And darkness will fade 'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me No They can't take this Precious love I'll always have inside me Certainly the Lord will guide me Where I need to go They can say anything they want to say Try to break me down But 1 won't face the ground I will rise steadily Sailing out of their reach Oh Lord They do try hard to make me feel That I don't matter at all But I refuse to falter In what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me From me
Savage Garden "Gunning Down Romance" Love and other moments are just chemical reactions in your brain In your brain And feelings of aggression are the absence of the love drug in Your veins, in your veins Love come quickly Because I feel my self-esteem is caving in It's on the brink Love come quickly Because I don't think I can keep this monster in It's in my skin Love and other socially acceptable emotions are morphine They're morphine Cleverly concealing primal urges often felt but rarely seen Rarely seen Love I beg you Lift me up into that privileged point of view The world of two Love don't leave me Because I console myself that HallmarkT cards are true I really do I'm gunning down romance It never did a thing for me But heartache and misery Ain't nothing but a tragedy Love don't leave me Take these broken wings I'm going to take these broken wings And learn to fly And learn to fly away And learn to fly away I'm gunning down romance

TLC "Dear Lie" You suck You said you could fix anything Instead I'm fucked You made things even worse for me If I had balls I'd tell you get away from me Guess I'm not smart I let you unnerve me I let you control me Afraid the truth would hurt me When it's you that hurts me more Chorus: Get outta my mouth Get outta my head Get outta my mind Stop puttin' words in my head Get outta my mouth You're nothing but trouble Get outta my life Get out of me Out of me (out of me) Out of me Out of me lie Lie lie lie lie Dear lie You're dumb You think you've got the best of me You think you won Misread my vulnerability I've got your walls Now get the hell away from me I've learned your art Won't let you unnerve me Won't let you control me The truth will only free me And your lies won't hurt no No more Repeat Chorus Lie lie I've got (I've got) Your walls (your walls) Now get the hell away from me I learned your art (your art) Won't let you unnerve me Wont' let you control me The truth will only free me And your lies won't hurt no No more Repeat Chorus Lie lie Dear lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Dear lie
Hello my friend, we meet again It's been awhile, where should we begin? Feels like forever Within my heart a memory A perfect love that you gave to me Oh, I remember When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice We've seen our share of ups and downs Oh how quickly life can turn around In an instant It feels so good to realize What's in yourself and within your mind Let's find peace there When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice I just want to say hello again I just want to say hello again When you are with me I'm free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes Cause when you are with me I am free I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My Sacrifice, My Sacrifice I just want to say hello again I just want to say hello again My Sacrifice.
