Bruce Springsteen - Brothers Under The Bridge

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQadj9AZyH0

Every spring when the weather gets warm
They come pourin' into town straight off of them farms
Driving 455s running hard and strong
They'd scratch built in them tool sheds all winter long
'Neath the trestles drinkin' the beer and the wine
Now some came to run, some just to pass the time
With the brothers under the bridges

Me and Tommy we was just fourteen, didn't have our licenses yet
Our walls were covered with pictures of cars we'd get
We'd listen and wait for that highway to rumble and quake
As they drove in through town when the weekend'd break
Bringin' girls with that distant look in their eyes
Now together 'neath the trestles they'd be laughing in the night
With the brothers under the bridges

Well me and my brother'd hitched a ride in Joey's pickup to the edge of town
And we watched from the tall grass as the challenges were made and the duels went down
We'd hitchhike back home, sneak in, get in bed before our mom'd come
And we'd lay there in the night talkin' about how we might someday be one
Yeah someday run with the brothers under the bridges

Well now I hear a cry in the distance and the sound of marching feet come and gone
Well I'm stittin' down here by this highway figuring, figuring just where I belong
Tonight up on Signal Hill I watch a young man in a red shirt walking through a night so still
Put his jacket 'round his girl as the autumn wind send a chill
Through the brothers under the bridges

Alabama 3 - Woke up This Morning

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y4u52__vUY

 I woke up this morning Got myself a gun Mama always said I'd be The Chosen One. One in a million I Believe I've got to burn to shine But I was born under a bad sign With a blue moon in my eyes. I woke up this morning All the love has gone Papa never told me About right and wrong. But I'm looking good, baby I believe and I'm feeling fine I was born under a bad sign With a blue moon in my eyes. So help me now Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes Goddamn shame about it Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes I woke up this morning The world turned upside down Thing's ain't been the same Since the Blues walked into town. But I'm one in a million 'Cause I've got that shotgun shine. Shame about it Born under a bad sign With a blue moon in my eyes. Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes Goddamn shame about it Woke up this morning I got a blue moon in my eyes I can't help my self I woke up this morning Everything was gone. By half past ten my head was going ding-dong. Ringing like a bell from my head down to my toes Like a voice trying to tell me there was something I should know. Last night I was flying but today I'm so low Ain't it times like these that make me wonder if I'll ever know The meaning of things as they appear to The others; Wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. I wish I didn't function, And I wish I didn't think Beyond the next paycheck and the next little drink' Well I do so make up my mind to go on, 'Cos when I woke up this morning Everything I had was gone. Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' Got my self a gun Got my self a gun I just can't help myself, yeah Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' Woke up this mornin' and A-got my self a gun Got my self a gun. Got myself a gun.

Al Green- How Can You Mend a Broken Heart (Live on Soul!, 1972)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9YIq0oNiSM 

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow


And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

How can you mend this broken man? (yeah)
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one said a word about the sorrow


And how can you mend a broken heart?(and mine is)
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
(And sometime I have to say, yeah)


(Tell me)
Help me mend my broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna live again, baby

How can you mend this broken man?(yeah, somebody tell me)
How can a loser ever win?
Help me mend my... This old broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again

How can you mend this broken heart? (somebody please tell me)
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
(I wanna know. I know my my clothes are all wet, tell me)
How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live

Mumford & Sons - I Will Wait

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGKfrgqWcv0

Well, I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
Well, you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way shake the excess

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies

And I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

We used to have fun
Now all we do is fight
We know something's wrong
It's clear something here ain't right

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall

It's only gonna end in tears, baby yeah
Our time is borrowed, girl

Things are never gonna change, mm mm

We both know we're hanging on here
But no one's gonna say it
So we'll just carry on like always
Acting like nothing's wrong, yeah

We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
We keep trying just so we can say we gave it all
We ain't over but the writing's on the wall
This time next year, we'll be no more, yeah

I remember when I was young and so were you  
All of the things we both said we would never do  
But look at how times have changed, baby. 
You know why I can never say no, baby. 
I can only show you how  
My love goes down  
My love goes down, down, down, yeah baby  
Sweep your feet right off the ground, and yeah 
Mama I got that real love for you now, yeah baby  
Know I got that real love for you now I remember when I did you wrong, made you cry (I made you cry)  
Made you feel so sad, I knew I had to apologise (apologise) 
So I pulled you close, baby, and I laid you down on the bed  
Took off your clothes, baby. Girl, you know the rest  
My love goes down My love goes down, down, down, yeah baby  
Sweep your feet right off the ground, yeah Mama I got that real love for you now, yeah baby  
Know I got that real love for you now Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Jess Glynne - "Hold My Hand"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLyUcAUMmMY



"Hold My Hand"

Standing in a crowded room and I can't see your face
Put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK
In my mind, I'm running round a cold and empty space
Just put your arms around me, tell me everything's OK

[Pre-Chorus:]
Break my bones but you won't see me fall, oh
The rising tide will rise against them all, oh

[Chorus:]
Darling, hold my hand
Oh, won't you hold my hand?
'Cause I don't wanna walk on my own anymore
Won't you understand? 'Cause I don't wanna walk alone
I'm ready for this, there's no denying
I'm ready for this, you stop me falling
I'm ready for this, I need you all in
I'm ready for this, so darling, hold my hand

Soul is like a melting pot when you're not next to me
Tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave
Tryna find a moment where I can find release
Please tell me that you've got me and you're never gonna leave

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Don't wanna know
That feeling when I'm all alone
So please don't make me wait, 'cause I don't wanna break
And I don't wanna fall
When you're next to me
Can tell I'm not afraid to be
That you don't make me wait, and never let me break
You never let me fall

[Chorus]
