Ane Brun - All My Tears

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNSBctmMI3k When I go don't cry for me In my fathers arms I'll be The wounds this world left on my soul Will all be healed and I'll be whole Sun and moon will be replaced with the light of Jesus face And I will not be ashamed for my savior knows my name It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter anywhere I lay All my tears be washed away Gold and silver blind the eye Temporary reaches light Come and eat from heavens store Come and drink and thirst no more So weep not for me my friend when my time does end For my life belongs to him who will raise the dead again It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter anywhere I lay All my tears be washed away All my tears be washed away

Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls - 'Four Simple Words'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU22lKGevhI Because we're all so very twenty first century, You're probably listening to me on some kind of portable stereo Maybe you're sitting on the back of the bus, Or it's running up your sleeve, and you're across from your boss, Or you're sitting in your bedroom on your own with the lights down low I'd like to teach you four simple words, so that next time you come to a show, You could sing those words back at me like they're the only ones that you know: I want to dance, I want to dance I want lust and love and a smattering of romance But I'm no good at dancing, yet I have to do something Tonight I'm going to play it straight, I'm going to take my chance, I want to dance Hi ho hi ho hi ho, we're heading out to the punk rock show Colleagues and friends condescend with a smile, But this is my culture man, this is my home The dark huddled masses gather at the gate, Yeah, the doors are at 7, and the show starts at 8 A few precious hours in a space of our own, And when the band comes on, the only thing I really know: I want to dance, I want to dance I want lust and love and a smattering of romance But I'm no good at dancing, and yet I have to do something Tonight I'm going to play it straight, I'm going to take my chance, I want to dance Yeah is anybody else sick of the music That's churned out by lacklustre scenesters from Shoreditch? Yeah it's all sex drugs and sins, like they're extras from Skins, But it's OK because they don't really mean it I want bands who had to work for their keep, Drove a thousand miles and played a show on no sleep, Sleeping on the floor in a stranger's place, Hungry just to do it all again the next day I want to dance, I want to dance I want lust and love and a smattering of romance But I'm no good at dancing, and yet I have to do something Tonight I'm going to play it straight, I'm going to take my chance, I want to dance So put your hands on your hips, bring your knees in tight Yeah we do this shit together man, no fists, no fights We're not trying to shape the world so people think like us, We just want our own space to dance, no favors no fuss On blood sweat and vinyl we have a built ourselves a house, So if the roof is on fire then we're going to put it out Forget about the bitching and remember that you're blessed, Punk is for the kids who never fit in with the rest, alright Somebody told me that music with guitars Was going out of fashion, and I had to laugh This shit wasn't fashionable when I fell in love, If the hipsters move on why should I give a fuck? I want to dance, I want to dance, I want me some lust and love and a smattering of that old time romance But I'm no good at dancing, yet I have to do something Tonight I'm going to play it straight, I'm going to take my chance Yeah, I want to dance, I want to dance I want me and you both to join hands down at the front So the next time I see you, remember these words so We'll sing like the barricades are down, and we'll dance like no one's around, Singing four simple words Songwriters: Frank Turner Four Simple Words lyrics © BMG Rights Management US, LLC
