Music & Video: The Only Exception by Paramore



When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Music & Lyrics: Dolly Parton - Together You and I - With Dedication to TRDG

My love for you is deeper than the depths of any ocean, 
And as faithful as the stars that grace the night, 
As constant as the sun making its journey through heavens, 
and we'll always be together you and I. 

[Chorus] 
Together you and I can stop the rain and make the sun shine. 
Paint a pretty rainbow, 
brushed with love across the sky, 
Together you and I belong, 
like a songbird and a song and we'll always be together you and I 

Life with you is sweeter than the fragrance of the flowers 
And as happy as the laughter of a child 
As peaceful as a river and as lasting as forever
you know we'll always be together you and I 

[Chorus] 
I always be beside or close behind you.
Wherever you go, 
you'll always know I'll always find you 

[Chorus] 
We'll always be together, 
you and I Forever together, forever you and I 
(forever you and I) 
Forever together, together you and I will always be 
(together, together) 
Together, you and I...

Music & Lyrics: ONE LAST TRY ~ Ane Brun

I wish I had one last try
hidden somewhere inside
but it’s all been spent before

When I reach for it
I can sense it in my hand
and when I try to grasp it it’s like sand – or water through my hopeful fingers

This just won’t hold – hold
This just won’t hold – hold

There’s something so half-full about us
we get so little but what we get it tastes so much
we’re always longing for more

Is this the end of the thread?
the thread that led me to loose my head over something that started with wonder

This just won’t hold – hold...

And even if a butterfly lives a hundred years
Or the stream of water turns around in the rivers

You and me – we’ll still be the same
You and me – we’ll still be the same

Music Video & Lyrics: Adele Performs 'Someone Like You' Live at the Brit Awards 2011

I heard, that your settled down.
That you, found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold it back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited. But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded, That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best, for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead. You'd know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summer haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded, That for me, it isn't over.

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you say:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead".

Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regrets and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead".

Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you say:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead...

Video & Lyrics: Dolly Parton - Potential New Boyfriend

Got My Eye On a Boy
He's Eyeing Me Back
It's Looking Real Good
This Could Be It
And I Know That All of You Girls
Would Love to Steal Him Away
He Bought Me a Drink
I Thanked Him Real Sweet
It's Always So Nice When You First Meet
And I Know That All of You Women Would Love to Steal Him Away
So I'm Warning You

Better Keep Your Hands Off My
Better Keep Your Hands Off My
Better Keep Your Hands Off My Potential New Boyfriend

Pretty As a Picture
Comin' On So Strong
He's Twisting My Ignition Key
Turn My Motor On
But Anyone Can See, All His Attention's On Me
Give Us Some Privacy

Better Keep Your Hands Off My
Better Keep Your Hands Off My
Better Keep Your Hands Off My Potential New Boyfriend
Better Keep Your Hands Off My
It's a Welcome Turn to Try

Building Up An Appetite
You Can Look But You Can't Buy
Better Keep Your Hands Off My Potential New Boyfriend

Music Video & Lyrics: Groove Armada - I Won't Kneel

I, I long to be beside of you,
I was wrong to tell you what was true,
Yes I, know I'm a victim of my pride,
I belong to all that I've been through.

I drove for miles in a city trance,
I came to ask for a second chance,
But I won't dance, no I won't dance. I came for miles on a broken wheel,
I came to see whether love can heal,
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel

'Cause I can't bend, can't hold,
Can't lend, can't fold,
Can't lose, won't cry,
Can't choose 'cause I know why. I, I want to always be with you,
What's wrong to tell you what I knew,
'Cause I know, I know I'm a slave to lonely pride,
I belong to all that I've been through. I drove for miles in a city trance,
I came to ask for a second chance,
But I won't dance, no I won't dance.

I came for miles on a broken wheel,
I came to see whether love can heal,
But I won't kneel, no I won't kneel.

'Cause I can't bend, can't hold,
Can't dance, can't fold,
I get close and get scared,
And this grows in my head.

Won't you give me something, something to hold?
Won't you give me something, something to hold?

Won't you give me something, something to hold?
Won't you give me something, something to hold?

Music Video & Lyrics (French & English): In-Grid - Tu Es Foutu

Tu m'as promis
Et je te cru

Tu m'as promis le soleil en hiver et un arc-en-ciel
Tu m'as promis le sable doré; j'ai reçu une carte postale
Tu m'as promis le ciel, la terre, et une vie d'amour
Tu m'as promis ton cœur, ton sourire
Mais j'ai eu des grimaces

Tu m'as promis
Et je te cru

Tu m'as promis le cheval ailé que j'ai jamais eu
Tu m'as promis le fil d'Ariane, mais tu l'as coupé
Tu m'as promis les notes de Mozart, pas des plats cassés
Tu m'as promis d'être ta reine;
J'ai eu pour sceptre un balai

Tu m'as promis
Et je te cru

Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...

Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe
Mais je sais pourquoi on m'appelle
"Mademoiselle Pas de Chance"
Tu m'as promis, tu m'as promis
Tu m'as promis

Tu es foutu-tu-tu...
Tu es foutu-tu-tu...

•••

You promised me,
And I believed you.

You promised me the sun in the winter, and a rainbow in the sky.
You promised me the golden sands; I received a postcard.
You promised me the sky, the earth, and a life of love.
You promised me your heart and your smile
But I only got frowns.

You promised me
And I believed you
You promised me the winged horse that I never had.
You promised me the thread of Ariadne, but you cut that.
You promised me the notes of Mozart, not broken dishes.
You promised me that I would be your queen;
I had as a scepter a broom.

You promised me
And I believed you.

You are screwed-do-do-do-do-do...
You are screwed-do-do-do-do-do...

I don't know what is happening,
But I know why people call me:
Miss Luckless
You promised me, you promised me
You promised me

You are screwed-do-do-do-do-do...
You are screwed-do-do-do-do-do...

Maybe this Time - Cabaret - Liza Minnelli

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky,
Maybe this time, he'll stay, Maybe this time,
For the first time, Love won't hurry away. He will hold me fast,
I'll be home at last, Not a loser anymore, Like the last time, And the time before. Everybody loves a winner, So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be,
All the odds are in my favour, Something's bound to begin, It's got to happen, happen sometime,
Maybe this time I'll win.....

Maybe this time, I'll be lucky, Maybe this time, he'll stay,
Maybe this time,
For the first time,
Love won't hurry away. He will hold me fast,
I'll be home at last,
Not a loser anymore,
Like the last time, And the time before. Everybody loves a winner,
So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be, All the odds are in my favour, Something's bound to begin! It's got to happen, happen sometime Maybe this time, maybe this time, I'll win.....

Music Video & Lyrics: Tom Baxter - My Declaration



Gonna be someone,
gonna give something,
I'm taking it on,
I'm taking it on,
It's gonna be my life,
so I'm gonna live each day and each night,
Taking it on, I'm taking it on.

'Cause I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep running away,
So I'm gonna be stronger,
I'm gonna be better made,
I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.

I'm gonna be a braver soul than this,
I'm gonna jump at all those many chances that I've missed,
I'm gonna live my life beyond these fears,
and forms of cowardice that keep leading me on.
I'm gonna shine out like a beacon in the night,
I'm gonna wrap my fingers round the stars tonight,
'Cause I'm taking it on, 'cause I'm taking it on...

I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep running away,
So I'm gonna be stronger,
I'm gonna be better made,
I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.

So I'm gonna be stronger,
I'm gonna be understood,
and I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again

So I'm gonna be stronger,
and I'm gonna be better made,
I'm gonna give everything,
Just to bring me back again.
'Cause I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep hiding,
I can't keep running away.

Video & Lyrics: Firework by Katy Perry ~ Official Music Video

(download)
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-down-down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-down-down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em goin' "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
