Salvation
The Cranberries
To all those people doin' lines
Don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty
It's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
ah haha, ah haha, ah haha
To all the parents with sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Tie your kids on to their beds
Clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes
Don't do it, don't do it
Because it's not, not what it seems
No, no it's not, not what it seems
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
Salvation, salvation
Salvation is free
Taylor Swift - Begin Again
And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did
I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does
Is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café I watched it begin again
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Yes closer to the heart
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Yes closer to the heart
You can be the captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart
Ice cream, ice queen
I dream in jeans and leather
Life's dream, I'm sweet for you
Oh God, I miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin' out: Bang, bang, kiss, kiss
(Venice bitch, Lana del Rey)

The Trees - Rush
Neil Peart
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade?
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'oppression!'
And the oaks, just shake their heads
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw
Freewill - Rush
Neil Peart
There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance
A planet of play things
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
'The stars aren't aligned
Or the gods are malign...'
Blame is better to give than receive
[Chorus:]
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill
There are those who think
That they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them
They weren't born in Lotusland
All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate
[Chorus]
Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet
Blank Space- Taylor Swift
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh, my God, look at that face!
You look like my next mistake
Love’s a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
Oh, my God, who is she?
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
"Nothing At All"
And waving to a passing friend
I've known her since I don't know when
Ah, it's nothing at all
Just a few of us walk arm in arm
It's innocent and charming
But the children seem to be getting alarmed
Don't worry kids, it's nothing at all
When I hear about the doom and gloom
That's around the corner, and coming soon
I take a sip of mother's ruin
And sit with my back to the wall
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
It's nothing at all
Then she blew all the leaves off my tree
And the junk that sails our seven seas
Is very nearly up to my knees
But the platitudes and pleasantries
Keep saying it's nothing at all
I'll deal with it on another day
If I close my eyes it'll go away
So, bottoms up boys, and what do you say?
Really, it's nothing at all
It's nothing at all
Nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
It's nothing at all
And the summer passed away
Nothing at all
It's nothing at all
And the old lady smiled
It was nothing at all
Then she blew all the leaves off my tree
I Will Survive- Gloria Gaynor
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key
If I had known, for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Well, now go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive! I will survive!
Hey, hey!
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
And trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high!
And you'll see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me!
Go on now! Go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now!
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
And as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive! I will survive!
Oh
Go on now! Go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now!
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, no, not I! I will survive!
And as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
And I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive!
I will survive!
TAKE A BOWN - MADONNA
Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd
Say your lines, but do you feel them?
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around?
No one around
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
One lonely star, you don't know who you are
[Madonna and Babyface:]
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
[Madonna and Babyface:]
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
Just make them smile the whole world loves a clown
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played
Role that you played
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
One lonely star and you don't know who you are
[Madonna and Babyface:]
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
[Madonna and Babyface:]
All the world is a stage
World is a stage
And everyone has their part
Has their part
But how was I to know which way the story'd go?
How was I to know you'd break
You'd break, you'd break, you'd break
You'd break my heart?
[Madonna and Babyface:]
I've always been in love with you
I've always been in love with you
I guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
I've always been in love with you
Always with you
I guess you've always known it's true
You know it's true
You took my love for granted, why, oh, why?
The show is over, say goodbye
Say goodbye
Bye-bye
Say goodbye
[Madonna:]
Say good-bye
Die Another Day"- MADONNA
I'm gonna kiss some part of
I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day (another day)
I guess I'll die another day (another day)
I guess I'll die another day (another day)
I guess I'll die another day
Sigmund Freud
Analyze this
Analyze this
Analyze this, this, this, this, this
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go
For every sin, I'll have to pay
A time to work, a time to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go
I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go
I need to lay down
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
I guess, die another day
I guess I'll die another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day
Another day

I love "Pure Shores" by All Saints, such a great song and unforgettable tune, it reminds me of the carefree early 2000's

"White Flag" is a great song too, I love the whole "Life For Rent" album, I was such a big fan of Dido when it came out.
Some favorite lyrics from it:
"Life For Rent":
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well, how can I say I'm alive?
"Stoned":
If you won't let me fall for you
Then you won't see the best that I would love to do for you
Instead you will be missing me when I go
'Cause I'm bored of hanging out in your cold
But this is probably all-time favorite lyrics - "Time" by Pink Floyd:
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Actually the whole cd I like from Dido is the first one, "No angel", the best. Like All Saints, the first one is pure art and feelings, full of drama and fun, very original.I should listen the second but maybe I am afraid to feel the same with Spice Girls cds, the first really ok but the rest...
Oh I absolutely agree with you, first albums are usually hard to beat. "No Angel" was a great album full of hits and it is completely different from the second one. "Life For Rent" is more "adult" (first album has more songs about developing relationships and being in love and the second one has more songs about break-ups and problematic relationships and complaints), but still very good and deserving attention
