Summer’s Gone lyrics (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
One, two, a one two three
Well we get along
Yeah we really do
And there’s nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you if you want me to
I could hang around
‘Till the leaves are brown
And the summer’s gone.
What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin anew
And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard when you’re loving it’s hard
And the leaves are brown
And they’re falling down
And the summer’s gone
And I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
And I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer gone.
But I won’t give up
And I won’t give in
And I know it’s tough
But I need to win
And I couldn’t get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
‘Till the leaves are brown
And the summer’s gone
And I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer gone.
I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.
And I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.
I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.
What I got to do
And what I got to see
It was only you
And it was only me
And I know that it’s hard, hard, hard when you’re loving it’s hard
And the leaves are brown
And they’re falling down
And the summer’s gone
And I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.
I can’t wait anymore for you
I spent the weekend
You’re giving me nothing
I can’t wait anymore for you
The feeling’s strong
The summer’s gone.

Song: If I don’t go crazy tonight (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Album: No Line on the Horizon (iTunes) | (Amazon MP3)
Artist: U2
If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight lyrics
She’s a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life
Knows I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
There’s a part of me in the chaos that’s quiet
And there’s a part of you that wants me to riot
Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit
Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit
Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot
How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?
A change of heart comes slow..
It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Do you believe me or are you doubting?
We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
Every generation gets a chance to change the world
Pity the nation that will listen to your boys and girls
‘Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven’t heard
Is it true the perfect love drives out all fear?
The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear
Oh, but a change of heart comes slow…
It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
As you start out the climb
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
But we’re gonna make it all the way to the light
But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Baby, baby, baby, I know I’m not alone
Ha, ha, ha
It’s not a hill it’s a mountain
Listen for me, I’ll be shouting
Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy
You know we’ll go crazy, if we don’t go crazy tonight
Oh Oh
Slowly now
Oh Oh

Daylight lyrics
DAYLIGHT
we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight
slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight
i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today
open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight
and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I hesitated to post this one because I thought, “who doesn’t know who sang this song?” Then I realized that I’m old and that a 20 year old would have been born 19 years after this song was released.

Artist: New Young Pony Club
The Bomb Lyrics (iTunes)|(Amazon MP3)
You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You know you really were the bomb
Oh, oh, oh, atomic infamy
You really have to display information
To discover relativity
You’re no faker, love and peace maker
Come and take a moment with your enemy
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
And on the atoll of desire
Oh, oh, oh, battle was fought and won
Who took advantage and who was defenceless?
Oh, no, peppermint girl’s not done
Remember this emotional equation
Don’t test the moment when you break the sun
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Aha, don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Aha
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…
Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Don’t speak ‘cos your mind is amazing
Dancing you’re tearing it up you know
Dancing you’re tearing it up…
