Where'd you get that song? and who is it by?

@Sononara. Do you mean Bread and Roses? Judy Collins sings it, and that's where I first heard it. She didn't write it though, that was someone called James Oppenheim.

Thanks, I'll see if i can get hold if it when im in Sydney

"Under pressure"- Queen...complete version
Here you go Chus...

Mm ba ba de
um bum ba de
um bu bu bum ba de
Pressure pushing down on me
pressing down on you no man ask for
under pressure-that burns a building down
splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
um ba ba be
um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da- Thats okay
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people people on the streets
Day day da de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
okay
Chippin' around - kick my brains arround the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do da be
Ee da ba ba ba
um bo bo
be lap
People on the streets- ee da de da de
People on the streets- ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
What this worlds about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'let me out'
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people-people on the streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why-why-why
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves on more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why cant we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
Cause loves such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the (people on the street) edge of the night
and love(people on the street) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Matisyahu: King without a crown

Chorus:
What's this feeling?
My love will rip a hole in the ceiling
Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being
Sing to my God all these songs of love and healing
Want Mashiach now so it's time we start revealing

You're all that I have and you're all that I need
Each and every day I pray to get to know you please
I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry
You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty
Without you there's no me
You're the air that I breathe
Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see
With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity
But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe
I'll stand on my own two feet
Won't be brought down on one knee
Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee
Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe
Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights
Crown Heights burnin' up all through the twilight
Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right
And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

Chorus

Bridge:
Me no want no sinsemilla.
That would only bring me down
Burn away my brain no way my brain is to compound
Elevated my soul you're a flying my sound
Like the sun of a sun ray burning up through a cloud
Torah food for my brain let it rain till I drown
Thunder!
Let the blessings come down

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul
Got to give yourself up and then you become whole
You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know
You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow
If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low
You want God but you can't deflate your ego
If you're already there then there's nowhere to go
If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow
If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found
Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground
Like a King without his Crown
Yes, I wanna get down
A King without his Crown
Yes, you keep fallin' down
You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown
Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground
Given up your pride and the you heard a sound
Out of night comes day and out of day comes light
Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,
Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

Chorus

Reelin' him in
Where ya been
Where ya been
Where ya been for so long
It's hard to stay strong been livin' in galus (exile) for 2000 years strong
Where ya been for so long
Been livin in this exile for too long

This was also stuck in my head...

I got no common sense
And neither has nobody else
I spread my brains out on a table
And poke them about with a fork


Ivor Cutler

A very good thing happened, so I'm posting a song:

I'm glad a good thing happened Luis, but I'd hate to see your choice if it was a bad thing

[QUOTE=Fiona]I'm glad a good thing happened Luis, but I'd hate to see your choice if it was a bad thing [/QUOTE]

LOL

This is a Rufus Wainwright song I particularly like...

Vibrate

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke too
I try to dance Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio is now a boy
Who wants to turn back into a toy

So call me
Call me in the morning
Call me in the night
So call me
Call me anytime you like

My phone's on vibrate for you
For you

How about some 70's music?
"Sweet Talking Woman"-ELO (Eletric Light Orchestra)

I was searchin(searchin') on a one-way street,
I was hopin'(hopin') for a chance to meet,

I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down (slow down) sweet talkin' woman(slow down)
You got me runnin,'(run run)

Hold on(hold on), sweet talkin' lover( hold on)

Sweet talkin' woman

I was (walkin') many days go by
I was thinkin'(thinkin')about the lonely nights
Communication breakdown all around
(she's gone so long)what can I do
(where could she be now)
No no no dont know what Im gonna do
I gotta get back to you

You gotta slow down(slow down)sweet talkin' woman(slow down)

OHHHHHHHHHH!

Guns n' Roses: Patience

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said sugar make it slow
And we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience...
Ooh, oh, yeah

Sit here on the stairs
'Cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
Sometimes, I get so tense
But I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said woman take it slow
Things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said sugar take the time
'Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, Oh never break it
'Cause I can't take it

...little patience, mm yeah, ooh yeah,
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more pati... (ence, yeah)
I've been walking these streets at night
Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeah)
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeah)
And the streets don't change but maybe the name
I ain't got time for the game
'Cause I need you (Patience, yeah)
Yeah, yeah well I need you
Oh, I need you (Take some patience)
Whoa, I need you (Just a little patience is all we need)
Ooh, this ti- me....

CHOKING VICTIM

"Crack Rock Steady"

Crack Rock Steady,
are you ready to stop
the rotten blue menace?
Let's go kill us a cop.
Crack Rock Steady,
are you ready?
Living above the law!

Po' little lice, the po' little screws,
the whitest gang crew, the hated boys in blue.
Like scabei on the street, they infest the beat,
****ing my life but I won't admit defeat to them!
Above the law, above the law come now,
No copper will be safe till they are dead and done now.
Let's lay em down low, let's hang em up high,
Let's take all of these piggies, and have them crucified!

Hardcore, rugged and raw,
on the streets of New York, we live above the ****ing law.
It don't matter the color of your skin,
as long as you not scandalous, commit no sin to me,
or my tribe.
Would not be wise.
Time to smell the ganja, open up your ****ing eyes.
Step back, keep your attitude in check,
and give the crack rock steady much respect.

Don't ya know that satan is the man?
So listen very close because we got a little plan:
We're gonna have to execute some rich important people,
gonna burn down all the churches and topple all the steeples.
See a frown? turn that cross upside down.
Grab a gun or baseball bat, let's go to ****ing town!
Let's kill the police, I'll be saying little more,
But when the cops come to your door,
don't forget the choice is yours!

Riot sound, police come round,
With the bass and drum we knock 'em down,
Chop 'em up with the riffs an' in the stew,
Drinkin' pot liquor made of poison glue,
Pick it up!
Someone way up livin' in those high-rise castles
Wishing with the hope that I lick their *******s
with the beat we burn down those big brass doors,
Here we go!
Rocksteady!

Twa Corbies

As I was walkin all alane
I heard twa corbies makkin mane
An t'ain untae the t'other did say
Whaur s'all we gang and dine today?

In behind yon dry stane dyke
There lies a new slain belted knight
And naebody kens that he lies there
But his hawk and his hound and his lady fair

His hound is tae the huntin' gone
His hawk to take the wild fowl down
His lady's ta'en another mate
So we may make our dinner sweet

Oh you'll sit on his white hause bone
And I'll pick out his bonny blue e'en
Wi many a lock of his golden hair
To line our nest when it grows bare

Many a one for him makes mane
But none s'all tell where he is gan'
O'er his white bones, when they are bare
The wind will blaw for evermair

Traditional

The Who - Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

PEARL JAM - Yellow Ledbetter Lyrics

Unsealed on a porch a letter sat.
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again."
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand. And on the sand I
wanna leave
it again. Yeah.
On a weekend I wanna wish it all away, yeah.
And they called and I said that "I want what I said" and then I
call out
again.
And the reason oughta' leave her calm, I know.
I said "I know what I wear not the boxer or the bag."

Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't
wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't want to stay.
Make me cry...

I see... Ooh I don't know why there's something else.
I wanna drum it all away...
Oh, I said, "I don't, I don't know wheather I was the boxer or
the bag."

Ah yeah, can you see them out on the porch? Yeah, but they don't
wave.
But I see them round the front way. Yeah.
And I know, and I know. I don't wanna stay at all.
I don't wanna stay. Yeah.
I don't wanna stay. [x2]
I don't... Don't wanna, oh... Yeah. Ooh... Ohh...

Masochism Tango

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it’s me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand. ecch!
It’s here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That’s why I’m in such exquisite agony.

My soul is on fire,
It’s aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire
When we tango.

You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev’ry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the masochism tango.

Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we’ll never part.
I know too well
I’m underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it’s my heart.
Excuse me!

Take your cigarette from it’s holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you’re mine,
As we dance to the masochism tango.

Tom Lehrer

Here's another one... hope no one's posted it. Most people know it. (I think?)
It appeared in the first Shrek, I believe. Meh! I'm not sure if he even did the original. ANYWAYS.

Hallelujah is originally from Leonard Cohen, but the best (known) version is from Jeff Buckley
