Rancid - Tropical London (2003)

If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

When you were sick, girl, I held your hand,
When you were troubled I tried to understand,
Staying with you I did anything I can,
'Cause losing you was not part of the plan.

Melbourne is a tropical London
I met a girl in a tropical London
Abandoned in a tropical London
Oh no, oh no,
If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

A souvenir reminds me of you,
Every day I catch a glimpse of us two,
I'm the one going to the rescue,
That's why I'm confused you withdrew.

Melbourne is a tropical London
I met a girl in a tropical London
Abandoned in a tropical London
Oh no, oh no,
If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.

Medication, led to an
Altercation, it's a
Hazardness in the
Valley of deception, and I
Walk alone,
But it was not my intention,
Not my invention,
And now my heart's been ripped wide open!


If you lose me, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
If you lose me, girl, you lose a good thing, that's one thing I know for sure.
That's one thing I know for sure.

Oasis - Sad Song (1994)

Sing a sad song
In a lonely place
Try to put a word in for me
It’s been so long
Since I found this place
You better put in two or three
We as people, are just walking ’round
Our heads are firmly fixed in the ground
What we don’t see
Well it can’t be real
What we don’t touch we cannot feel

Where we’re living in this town
The sun is coming up and it’s going down
But it’s all just the same at the end of the day
And we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it’s wrong
So we don’t ask why
Cause it’s all just the same at the end of the day
We’re throwing it all away
We’re throwing it all away
We’re throwing it all away at the end of the day

If you need it
Something I can give
I know I’d help you if I can
If your honest and you say that you did
You know that I would give you my hand
Or a sad song
In a lonely place
I’ll try to put a word in for you
Need a shoulder? well if that’s the case
You know there’s nothing I wouldn’t do

Where we’re living in this town
The sun is coming up and it’s going down
But it’s all just the same at the end of the day
When we cheat and we lie
Nobody says it’s wrong
So we don’t ask why
Cause it’s all just the same at the end of the day

Don’t throw it all away
Don’t throw it all away
Don’t throw it all away
Don’t throw it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away

Throwing it all away
Throwing it all away
You’re throwing it all away at the end of the day

Coldplay - Yellow (2000)

Look at the stars
look how they shine for you
and everything you do
yeah they were all yellow
I came along
I wrote a song for you
and all the things you do
and it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
oh wh at a thing to have done
and it was all yellow

your skin
oh yeah your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful
and you know
you know I love you so
you know I love you so

I swam across
I jumped across for you
oh what a thing to do
'cos you were all yellow
I drew a line
I drew a line for you
oh what a thing to do
and it was all yellow

and your skin
oh yeah your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful
and you know
for you I bleed myself dry
for you I bleed myself dry

it's true
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for
look how they shine for you
look how they shine for you
look how they shine

look at the stars
look how they shine for you
and all the things that you do

Otis Redding - Wonderful World (1966)

I don't know much about the history now
Don't know much about biology
Don't much about the science book
Don't know much about the french i took
All i do know is i love you now
And i wonder if you love me, too
Ooh what a wonderful world this could be

I don't know much about geography now
Don't know much about
Trigonometry now
Don't know much about the algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But i do know one and one is two now
And i wonder if you love me, too
Ooh what a wonderful world this could be

I don't claim to be "a" student
But that's what i'm trying to be
But by being an "a" student, baby
Looks like i could win your love for me

Don't know much about the history now
Don't know much about biology
I don't much about the science book now
Don't know much about the good french i took
All i do know is i love you now
And i wonder if you love me, too
Ooh what a wonderful world this could be

I don't claim to be "a" student
But that's what i'm trying to be
But if i have to be an "a" student, baby
I'm gonna win your love for me

I don't know much about geography now
Don't know much about trigonometry
Don't know much about the algebra now
Don't know what a good slide rule is for
But i do know one and one is two now
And i wonder if you love me, too
Ooh what a wonderful world this could be

Good lord, i been trying
I been trying, i been trying...

Ian Brown - Own brain (2009)

You can't fight the feeling
While aiming for the stars
You might hit the ceiling
To be healing from the scars
Through aftershock tremors
Through inclement weather
Through anything ever
Here we came sir,
Rise around

From stony ground, I'm far away
Upon my path, upon my way
The wasted days are history
The future is a mystery

I've got my own brain

It's good to look, on route to stare
A second glance as you're laid bare
Your action's more than systole
The future is a mystery

I've got my own brain
I got the one aim
I've got my own brain
An anagram of my own name

You can't fight the feeling
While aiming for the stars
You may hit the ceiling
To be healing from the scars
Through aftershock tremors
Through inclement weather
Through anything ever
Here we came sir,
Rise around

The realms I found
Are where I stay
My blood flow halts
My temple veins

I've got my own brain
I got the one aim
I've got my own brain
An anagram of my own name

Own brain
