The Great Houdini - NFG

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Thirty seconds till I pass
The questions you will never ask
Your regrets will haunt you
You know I never had to

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything?
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways

I went to your house
But you weren't home
I'm sure you conveniently shut off your phone
I don't think that I'll ever be
The person that you want of me
When all that I can think about
It's you I have to figure out

But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

I'm saving myself from you
Yeah I'm saving myself from you

All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Did you notice anything?
That changes me?
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

I like this song. One of the better NFG songs.

Some Girls (Dance With Women)

by JC Chasez

The door is coming off the hinges
About to pass out
No doubt it's hot in here
Because the club is full of women
It's wall to wall and I got my crew with me

We grab a table spot to chill in
Hunt down a waitress, make an order
Here we go
Throw back a drink and let it kick in
It takes a minute, whose ready to have some fun

Get up and take a lap to mingle
Love being single on a night like this, yeah
So many beautiful young people
The game is legal
You dont have to kill 'em though
Just look at everyone as equal

While you were dancing she was watching
Feelin' you
Her and her girlfriends by the speaker
Are moving on each other
This is where the show begins

Baby girl you keep looking at me
Move your body so sexy
Nice and slow, watch you roll
You know how I like it

Baby girl 'cause you know you got me
Move your body so sexy
Nice and slow, watch you roll
You know how I like it

CHORUS:
Some girls dance with women
Knowing that it gets them attention
I want to get in with them
So pass me a drink and let's roll

Some girls dance with women
Knowing that it gets them attention
I want to get in with them
So pass me a drink and let's go

Might have to peel me off the ceiling
I'm like a soda that's been shakin' up, boom
I find your playfulness appealing
C'mon let's race
On your mark, get ready, go

Send you a drink, see what the deal is
Held up your glass and blew a kiss
Then took a sip
When you were finished, back to business
You and your girlfriends move up
This is how you draw them in

Baby girl you keep looking at me
Move your body so sexy
Nice and slow, watch you roll
You know how I like it

Baby girl 'cause you know you got me
Move your body so sexy
Nice and slow, watch you roll
You know how I like it

CHORUS

[Instrumental Break]

Step right up and spin the wheel
All charged up on what you feel
Making a pose trying to keep it real
What's your name

Try your luck and spin the wheel
All charged up on what you feel
Making a pose trying to keep it real
I want to take you home

CHORUS x3

Invisible

by Clay Aiken

What ya doin tonight,
I wish I could be a fly on your wall,
Are you really alone,
Who's stealing your dreams,
Why can't I breathe you into my life, (so tell me)
What would it take to make you see that I'm alive...,

Chorus:
If I was invisible,
If I could just watch you in your room,
If I was invincible,
I'd make you mine tonight,
If hearts were unbreakable,
And I could just tell you where I stand,
I would be the smartest man,
If I was invisible,
Wait, I already am,

Saw your face in the crowd,
I call out your name,
You don't hear a sound,
I keep tracing your steps,
Each move that you make,
Wish I could read what goes through your mind, (oh baby)
Wish you could touch me with the colors of your life,

Chorus:
If I was invisible,
If I could just watch you in your room,
If I was invincible,
I'd make you mine tonight,
If hearts were unbreakable,
And I could just tell you where I stand,
I would be the smartest man,
If I was invisible,
Wait, I already am,

(Invisible)

I reach out,
But you don't even see me,
Even when I scream out,
Baby you don't hear me, (you don't hear me)
I am nothing without you,
Just a shadow passing through,

(invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible, invisible)

Chorus:
If I was invisible,
If I could just watch you in your room,
If I was invincible,
I'd make you mine tonight,
If hearts were unbreakable,
And I could just tell you where I stand,
I would be the smartest man,
If I was invisible, (I'd make you mine tonight)...continue

(fade)

Butterfly Kisses

by Mercy Me

There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from Heaven,
and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all the joy in my life,
But most of all for....

Chorus
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

"Walk beside the pony, daddy,it's my first ride".
I know the cake looks funny, daddy, but I sure tried".

Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night"

Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma a little more each day
One part woman, the other part girl,
To perfume and make-up
from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember.....

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

"You know how much I love you, daddy,
But if you don't mind
I'm only going to kiss you on the cheek this time"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night"

All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly,
She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise
And I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I'm thinking, and I said "I'm not sure, I just feel like I'm loosing my baby girl".
Then she looked over...and gave me...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time. Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy? Daddy, don't cry"

With all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right,
To deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.

I couldn't ask God for more,
man, this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go, but I'll always remember....
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.
With all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right,
To deserve her love every morning and
butterfly kisses at night.

Beatles - I Want To Hold Your Hand
Song of the moment (2:48 A.M.)


Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.

Yeh, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll feel that something
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.

Why Don't You and I

Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies...(oo)and it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied

Pre-Chorus
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

Chorus
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

When's this fever gonna break?
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin you around
(oo)And it's alright
Bouncin round from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied

Pre-Chorus
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

Chorus
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

( Only second time through)
And slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end
Right about the same time you walk by
And I say 'Oh here we go again' oh

Pre-Chorus
Everytime I try to talk to you
I get tongue-tied
Turns out that everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right

Chorus
So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

So I'll say 'why don't you and I get together and take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
So I say why don't you and I hold each other and fly to the moon and straight on to heaven
Cause without you they're never going to let me in

Yellowcard - Miles Apart

if i could i would do all of this again
travel back in time with you
to where this all began
we could hide inside ourselves
and leave the world behind
make believe there's something left to find

we'll be miles apart
i'll keep you deep inside
you're always in my heart
a new life to start
i may be leaving but you're always in my heart

now we've all grown up
gone on and moved away
nothing i can do about it
nothing i can say
to bring us back to where we were
when life was not this hard
looking back it all just seems so far
so far away

we will be miles apart
i'll keep you deep inside
you're always in my heart
a new life to start
i may be leaving but you're always in my heart

i'd give it up for jus tone more day with you
give it up give it all away

we'll be miles apart
i'll keep you deep inside
you're always in my heart
a new life to start
i may be leaving but you're always in my heart

i need you now we're miles apart
i'll keep you deep inside
you're always in my heart
i need you now we're miles apart
i may be leaving but you're always in my heart


i love yellowcard. ocean avenue is a GREAT cd.

It's Too Late

by Carole King

I guess I know how you feel. I'm trying so hard to understand. Even if I don't, Carole King understands.

Stayed in bed all mornin'
Just to pass the time.
There's somethin' wrong here.
There can be no denying.
One of us is changin'
Or maybe we just stopped trying

And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It used to be so easy
Livin' here with you.
You were light and breezy
And I knew just what to do.
Now you look so unhappy
And I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no..

There'll be good times again
For me and you,
But we just can't stay together.
Can't you feel it too?
Still I'm glad for what we had
And how I once loved you,

But it's too late, baby,
Now it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died
And I can't hide and I just can't fake it.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no..

It's too late, baby.
It's too late, now, darlin'.
It's too late.

Here Without You

by 3 Doors Down

A hundred days had made me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles had separate
They disappeared now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rolling as the people either way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated but I hope it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

I’m here without you baby but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
but tonight girl it’s only you and me

Hold On

by Blink 182

I hear the phone...it rings so violently
Can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me
I will admit, I hate those things I said
Girls always cry, guys'll never admit they did

(Hold on, Hold on... Hold on, Hold on...)

Don't tell me that it's over, I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running, there's no use for explanation
I think things aren't too hopeful, even with my expert knowledge
Most girls do mean trouble, because they are rarely honest

What's with the jokes, all the routines they play
Screw with my head, never cave until they get their way
Guys like to run, chicks love to yell you see
Guys hate to fight, girls think it's therapy

(Hold on, hold on... Hold on, hold on...)

Don't tell me that it's over, I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running, there's no use for explanation
I think things aren't too hopeful, even with my expert knowledge
Most girls do mean trouble, because they are rarely honest

(Hold on, hold on... Hold on, hold on...)

Don't tell me that it's over, I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running, there's no use for explanation
I think things aren't too hopeful, even with my expert knowledge
Most girls do mean trouble, because they are rarely honest

(Hold on, hold on...)
Don't tell me that it's over, I'm not used to this temptation
And when you come back running, there's no use for explanation
I think things aren't too hopeful, even with my expert knowledge
Most girls do mean trouble, because they are rarely honest

Don't tell me that it's over, I'm not used to this temptation

But In The End

by Linkin Park

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I

(Chorus)

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x)

(Chorus)

Bright Lights

by Matchbox 20

She got out of town
On a railway, New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien out on Broadway

Some things in this world you just can't change
Some things you can't see until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone,
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world?
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you,
But if the bright lights don't receive you,
You should turn yourself around and come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city

Some things in this world, man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need until they leave you...
They're the things that you miss

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone,
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world?
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you,
But if the bright lights don't receive you,
You should turn yourself around and come on home

Let that city take you in (come on home)
Let that city spit you out (come on home)
Let that city take you down...
For God's sake, turn around

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone,
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world?
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something that's enough to keep you,
But if the bright lights don't receive you...
Turn yourself around and come on home
Yeah, come on home
Maybe, maybe, baby, baby
Come on home
Yeah, come on home
Come on home,
Come on home...

"Eyes On Me" by Faye Wong

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

*Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

More To Life

by Stacie Orrico

I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down, and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
and why can't I let it go?

(Chorus)
There's gotta be more to life
than chasing out every temporary high to satisfy me
'Cause the more that I
trippin' up thinkin' there must be more to life
Well, there's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be more

(I'm wanting more)

I've got the time, and I'm wasting it slowly
And, at this moment, I'm halfway out the door
Onto the next thing I'm searching for something that's missing

(Chorus)

(I'm wanting more)
(I'm just waiting for something)
other than this
'Cause I'm feeling like there's something I'm missing

(Chorus 2X, key change)

more to, more to, more to life
more to, more to life
more to, more to life
There's gotta be more
more to life...

Down - Something Corporate

I like this song. It has a cool rhyme scheme :-)

Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God

Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah

Yeah
Yeah

I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness
Look what you've found, I've fallen down

Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heart it breaks within your chest now
Try to get some rest now, sleeps not coming easy for a while, child

Child, yeah

I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness
Look what you've found, I've fallen down
Down, down
Down, down

I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All around but you can't change this loneliness
Look what you've found, I've fallen down
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down

Everytime

by Britney Spears

Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
In strangers' land
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me

And every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I make believe that you are here
It's the only way, I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, it's haunting me
I guess I need you baby

I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song's my sorry

At night I pray
That soon you'll face will fade away

And every time I try to fly I fall
Without my wings I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And every time I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
