there are two things i know about white people

I'M GONNA BE (500 MILES) When I'm working, yes, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you. And when the money comes in for the work I do, I'll pass almost every penny on to you. When I come home, oh, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you. And if I grow old, well, I know I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you. But I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door. ( the proclaimers sunshine on leith )

BED OF LIES Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over. Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong, where it's not enough just be sorry. Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in? Tried to be more than me and I gave till it all went away. And we've only surrendered To the worst part of these winters we've made. No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies, so toss me out and turn in. And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes. I'm marking it down to learning, I am. ( matchbox 20 mad season )

ONE HEADLIGHT Well this place is old. It feels just like a beat up truck. I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn. Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes. This place is always such a mess; sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn. I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else. Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same. But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams, I think her death it must be killin' me. ( the wallflowers bringing down the horse )

WHEN I'M GONE There's another world inside of me that you may never see. There're secrets in this life that I can't hide. Somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find. Maybe it's too far away, or maybe I'm just blind... So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong, hold me when I'm scared and love me when I'm gone. Everything I am and everything in me wants to be the one you wanted me to be. I'll never let you down -- even if I could, I'd give up everything if only for your good. So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong. You can hold me when I'm scared; You won't always be there so love me when I'm gone. ( 3 doors down away from the sun )

STAND BY ME If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall, all the mountains should crumble to the sea, I won't cry, I won't cry. No, I won't shed a tear just as long as you stand, stand by me. And darling, darling, stand by me, oh stand by me. Oh stand now, stand by me. Stand by me. ( ben e. king stand by me )

THE MORNING COMES So I’m working the graveyard, I don’t sleep till it’s light. Ain’t calling in favors, I can’t swallow my pride. And the bank’s on a mission, they want to read me my rights, but they ever show up around here, they’re going to be in for a fight. ’Cause the devil’s in my hometown and I ain’t telling him no ,’cause it’s my family, it’s my love now, that I’m scared to let go And I say oh, oh, rain don’t change the sun. Jealous is the night when the morning comes -- but it always comes. ( delta rae carry the fire )

WHAT A GOOD BOY When I was born, they looked at me and said, "What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy." And when you were born, they looked at you and said, "What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl." We've got these chains that hang around our necks, people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath. Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same. When temptation calls, we just look away. This name is the hairshirt I wear and this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair. This song is the cross that I bear. Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me, be with me tonight. I know that it isn't right, but be with me tonight. ( barenaked ladies gordon )

JUST FOR YOU Just for you, just for you, just for you, my love. Oh, for you, just for you, my love. Yes, my dear, I finally realize, I finally realize that it's just for you. When you see me working all night long, working till my stress was gone, it's for you. Oh listen, dear, I finally realize that it's all for you. Yeah, when you see me working all the day, working all of my stress away, it's for you. Oh yes it is. I finally realize that it's all for you. ( sam cooke portrait of a legend )

THE REMEDY I heard two men talking on the radio in a crossfire kind of new reality show, uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack. Well they were counting down the days to stab the other in the be right back after this: the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe. Dance with me, because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy. The remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison. I say the comedy is that its serious, which is a strange enough new play on words. I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on so shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

THE MINNOW & THE TROUT "Help me out," said the minnow to the trout. "I was lost and found myself swimming in your mouth. Help me, chief. I've got to plans for you and me. I swear upon this riverbed I'll help you feel young again." Not your every day circumstance: the hummingbird taking coffee with the ants. Please, I know that we're different. We were one cell in the sea in the beginning, and what we're made of was all the same once. We're not that different after all. We are tied in history, connected like a family. ( a fine frenzy one cell in the sea )

WAY OF THE WORLD Take the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stop. Take the danger out of a naked flame and what have you got? If you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no pain. Could you swear if you had that second chance you wouldn't do it again? Why is there blue sky? Why is there red sky? Now's the time to ask the reason. Should the blue sky meet the red sky? Should the rules have to change at all? We all know, whatever they say, time is on our side. This world has been here before, just going round and round. We all agree as far as we can see, it's just the way of the world and that's how it's meant to be. There's right and there's wrong, there's weak - oh and there's strong. It's just the way of the world and that's how it's meant to be. ( genesis we can't dance )

WORK ALL DAY If you work all day, you keep the rhythm through the night. If you work all night, you keep the rhythm through the day. If you sell that soul, you'll be burning up right. If you ain't got no soul, that's fine, alright. All I've ever known is true. Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag. Stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast, until there's nothing left for you. Pick it up, pack it up, put it in a bag; stack it up like cinnamon, we'll get it real fast until there's nothing left of you. ( portugal, the man the majestic majesty )
