Lyrics:
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you and you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't wanna see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
You walked out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and ooh...
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time
Ooohh
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
ooh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
Ooohh
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then baby, maybe, maybe
You'd stay
Kaskade & Deadmau5. - Move For Me (2008)
UK#24, CAN#66
Lyrics:
Another night out, another dance floor
Here we go, another night out
Waited all week, just to get out
Where do we come from
Do I know your name
Doesn't really matter
In this life we're all the same
Move for me, I'll move for you
A DJ, a light show
Speakers puttin out
It's where we're going
This way and that way
Getting past the name
Doesn't really matter
In this life we're all the same
Are you a man who loves and cherishes and cares for me?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Are you a guard in prison maximum security?
Is that you? is that you? Is that you?
do we stay home all the time because you want me to yourself?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Or am I stay locked away out of fear I'll find someone else?
Is that you Is that you Is that you?
Well I don't like (o-hoo)
Living under your spotlight (o-hoo)
Just because you think I might (o-hoo)
Find somebody worthy
O I don't like (o-hoo)
Living under spotlight
Maybe if you treat me right
You wont have to worry
Is this a relationship
Fulfilling your needs as well as mine?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Or is this just my sentence
Am I doing time?
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Is this love real real love
Then I'm staying no doubt
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
But if I'm just love's prisoner
Then I'm bustin out (oh)
Well I don't like (o-hoo)
Living under your spotlight (o-hoo)
Just because you think I might (o-hoo)
Find somebody worthy
Boy you ought to be ashamed of yourself
What the hell do you think your doing
Loving me, loving me so wrong
Baby all I do is try (try)
To show you that your mine (mine)
One and only guy (only guy)
No matter who may come along
Open your eyes cause baby I don't like
Ooh, ooh (oo,oo)
Ooh, ooh (hey cause I don't like!)
Well I don't like
Living under your spotlight (no,no)
Just because you think I might (hee)
Find somebody worthy (no, I don't like yeah)
And I don't
Living under your spotlight (living under your spotlight)
Maybe if you treat me right (treat me right yeah!)
You wont to worry
Danny Harrison (one half of currently successful remix duo Moto Blanco) and Danny Matlock (who also released under the alias Congress back then) collaborated as Nush in 1994. Their track 'U Girls' was part of my essential clubbing soundtrack at the time. In London it was simmering underground for a long time before hitting the mainstream shelves. Although not as commercially successful with the creatures of the day, it made up for it amongst the worshippers of the night, circulating around dancefloors in various mixes for months on end, which in turn led to several more flawed attempts to make it cross-over into pop charts.
I loved it.
Nush - U Girls (1994)
Lyrics:
U girls look so sexy, I wish you were all up here with me!
There is few tracks of the Hip-Hop genre I can really connect to. But ever so often there is one that stands out above the rest: there was, of course, 'Rapper's Delight' by The Sugar Hill Gang, a 15 minute epic that paved the way for Rap worldwide in 1979, there was 'Beat Street' by Grandmaster Melle Mel, the main song of the soundtrack of same named movie from 1984, there was Afrika Bambaataa's 'Pupunanny', a dance influenced tune that send me into near oblivion in 1994 and then there is Missy Elliott's '4 My People', dated exactly 10 years ago, 2001. Oddly, the track never charted on the other side of the Atlantic, but did very well in Europe. Head straight for the Basement Jaxx Remix, it's the bee's knees.
[Missy]
Uhh, yo
This is for my motherfucking club heads, you feel me?
AAAAOOW!!
[Missy]
People, gangstas, and pimps and people

[Missy]
The party's jumpin, I see something fine
Boy I wanna kiss you, but I'm just too shy
Let me dance with you, let me wear you out
Here's a glass of orange juice, let's go X it out
The music's bangin, way down in my soul
When you dance behind me, I lose all control
Make me grind my hips, make me move my waist
When the music comes on, you take my breath away
This is for my people, my party people
This is for my people, my motherfucking people
C'mon, c'mon, get down, get, get on down
C'mon, c'mon, get down, get, get on down

C'mon, c'mon, get down, get on down

[Missy]
I'm at the bar now, and I'm buying drinks
And I got this feeling, and it's all over me
I wanna dance with you, and lick your face
Take me on the dance floor to feel some ecstasy
The vibe is right now, and I'm bout to score
Mr. DJ can you, play this joint once more
Cuz I see the man I want, I want him right away

Can't stand when a nigga fuckin up my plans
All night liquored up while I'm tryin to dance
Drunk, and his breath stink, freaky with his hands
Cocky with his mouth please like he got a fan
Can't stand when a bitch all in my side

Givin me the side eye like she wanna fight
Philly known for boxing bitch better get it right
Can't stand when a DJ fuckin up the song

Cuttin up the same shit all night long
High 'fore I got there, now my shit is blown
Can't stand when it aint jumpin like I want
Bouncer try to stop my fun, take away my blunt

The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (2003)
IT#3, DE#4, UK#7, AUS#17, AT#18, IRL#22, NL#22, US#76
Lyrics:
I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
Keshav PuruShotam and Christian Voß first met in the summer of 2002 in a club in Cologne. They quickly became friends and composed a few songs. Not long and they decided to record these with Keshav's ex-Band Radio Voices and the new band Timid Tiger was born.

Lyrics:
they say i'm crazy
the way you got me open baby
they say i'm buggin'
the way i'm tight twistin' your lovin'
they all sit and wonder why
these feelin's i cannot hide
i ain't a question of pride
they say i'm trippin'
the way you got my whole life livin'
they say i'm losin' it
just can't seem to get my grip baby
we all cry when we feel pain
love is gone we're not the same
it ain't a question of brains
(they say) crazy the way you got me open baby
they say i'm buggin
the way i'm tight twistin' your lovin'
they say i'm trippin'
the way you got my whole life livin'
they say i'm losin' it
just can't seem to get my grip baby
they all sit and wonder why
these feelin's i cannot hide
it ain't a question of pride
Lyrics:
There ain't no reason you and me should be alone
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
And I got a reason that you're who should take me home tonight (Tonight)
I need a man that thinks it's right when it's so wrong
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight
It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you
Another shot before we kiss the other side
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
I'm on the edge of something final we call life tonight
(Alright! Alright!)
Put on your shades, 'cause I'll be dancing in the flames
Tonight, yeah, baby! (Tonight, yeah, baby!)
It isn't hell if everybody knows my name tonight
(Alright! Alright!)
It's hard to feel the rush, to brush the dangerous
I'm gonna run right to, to the edge with you
Where we can both fall far in love
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
Out on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you.
I'm on the edge with you
I'm on the edge with you
(You, you, you...)
[Solo saxophone]
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge, the edge
I'm on the edge of glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you
I'm on the edge with you (with you, with you, with you, with you, with you)
All I want
All I need
All I ask
All I need is someone to hold
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Time after time, when I'm alone
I keep thinking of you babe
And the way you make me feel
And I get excited and I can't deny it
'Cause I know when I feel this way
It just won't stay inside
With all this love I have
And I'm trying to explain
That my heart can belong to you
All I want
All I need
All I ask
All I need is someone to hold
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Emotion is all I see
But I gotta feel your hands on me
Plain old words ain't enough babe
I gotta have your touch
'cause I'm wanting you so much
Baby can't you see?
All I want
All I need
All I ask
All I need is someone to hold
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Being next to you
Is something that I want to do
Let me hold you
I need you
'Cause no one can love you like I do
All I want
All I need
All I ask
All I need is someone to hold
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me
All I need is someone to hold
Somebodyyyyyyyyyyyy
(release me, let me go)
don't knew what you've done
my love's on the run
boy you get me so confused
I can't get over you
it's been so long ago
but it seems you set me under your
hold baby
trapped in my mind
can't get you out baby
so hard I try the memory won't subside
will I ever find a way to leave you behind
everywhere I turn, everywhere I look
reminds me of you
when I dream, at night it's deja vu
I'm askin' please, set me free, release me, let me go
don't wanna see your face
or ever hear your name
so deep inside of me
your love I can't replace
was this in your plan
to leave me this way
trapped in my mind
can't get you out baby
so hard I try the memory won't subside
will I ever find a way to leave you behind
everywhere I turn, everywhere I look
reminds me of you
when I dream, at night it's deja vu
I'm askin' please, set me free, release me, let me go
trapped in my mind
can't get you out baby
so hard I try the memory won't subside
will I ever find a way to leave you behind
everywhere I turn, everywhere I look
reminds me of you
when I dream, at night it's deja vu
I'm askin' please, set me free, release me, let me go
WHAT...?????? - I hear you shout, but while I never really rated the Spice Girls, I seriously do think that Mel C. has had the best, meaningful and sustainable career launch off the commercial pedestal, which Spice Girls as a format provided. Indeed, I do rate her musical talent and achievements to date very high.
Melanie Chisholm - a.k.a. Mel C. - was born in 1974 in Whiston, Lancashire/UK, joining the Spice Girls only in 1994, after the original fifth member, Lianne Morgan, left the group. Twp years later, in 1996, the quintett shot to instant fame with 'Wannabe'. Because Mel usually wore a tracksuit with her hair in a ponytail and sporting the attitude of a tomboy, she was called 'Sporty Spice'. After the third album release 'Forever', the members went their separate ways and Mel developed a solo career.

Lyrics:
When the world is darker than I can understand.
When nothing turns out the way I planned.
When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight.
When I can't sleep through the lonely night.
I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.
When my insides are wracked with anxiety.
You have the touch that will quiet me.
You lift my spirit. You melt the ice.
When I need inspiration, when I need advice.
I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.
Where would I be? What would I do?
If you'd never helped me through.
I hope someday if you've lost your way.
You could turn to me like I turn to you.
I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you.
I turn to you. When fear tells me to turn around.
I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one.
Who can turn me around when I'm upside down.
I turn to you. I turn to you. I turn to you.

Melanie penned this song for Mel B., her ex-Spice Girls member, whom she believed to have the better lift off post-Spice Girls-years, hence the lines 'you made it to the other side, but tell me who will be my guide'. Melanie suffers from clinical depression, which she is very open about.
Lyrics:
They tried to catch a falling star.
Thinking that she had gone too far.
She did but kept it hidden well.
Until she cracked and then she fell.
If all the history is true.
She's gonna end up just like you.
You made it to the other side.
But tell me who will be my guide.
They build you up so they can tear you down.
Trust the ocean you'll never drown.
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see.
I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes.
Northern Star.
Fulfil the longing in your heart.
Then we will never be apart.
And if they dare to question you.
Just tell them that our love is true.
They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul.
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go.
I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.
Northern Star.
I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.

The Underdog Project has four members: Vic Krishna, Craig Smart (both vocals), DJ Frank (remixes) and AJ Duncan (keyboards). They formed when Vic was visiting Germany and had a jam session with his fellow-Canadian Craig, which went well, so they started recording - mostly demo tapes, but also full-fledged tracks.
The band's most popular track, 'Summer Jam' was one of the biggest pop hits in Europe. At one point, the original released in Germany in November 2000, was on the rotation list of every pop radio station in the country. It also received much attention in the UK and the US, where it was released the year after. MTV Germany and VIVA, a local rival music TV channel at the time, both supported the video, adding even more exposure. The biggest dance radio station in New York City, WKTU, also expressed support for the record and added it to their playlist, as well as market leader Power 96 in Miami.
The track was re-released several times, and features on pretty much every Summer Song Compilation there is.
Most notable was the 2003 version versus the Sunclub, which reached #1 the Dutch and Belgian charts, as well as climbing into the Top20 of several other countries.

We'll quickly move on past the pain
We'll quickly move on past the shame

No lyrics needed for this one... - I was never really a fan of Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim - - - until this one came along. Checking out the gay scene of Cape Town, South Africa that year, I remember going out to a packed-to-the-rafters 'Bronx' bar and there it happened: suddenly the DJ starting to fade the iconic '...what the f***' into the preceding track. I was blown away. Gob-smacked. Jaw-dropped. So was pretty much the entire bar and a massive cheer made the round. The same must have happened to most of Brighton Beach when the man himself aired it at a festival session - here the video. Awesome track!
There is also a censored 'clean' version, but - understandably - that one far less poignant...

Six billion different minds sharing one single world
We're all trying to survive, we're living our lives
Used the world forgetting how much it can take
If we continue to harm our nature we harm ourselves
We gotta protect our world
With all the respect we have in us
Though we gotta infect the world
With love to reject the disease
You gotta respect yourself
Whatever you need is in your reach
We can make this a better world
To learn somebody has to teach
you will start to see a difference
In the way that others hold you in a steam
This goes just round and round than growing deep from within
We can learn to stand up tall and face a danger
Building bridges you and I can walk across
Let's stand together for all our nature just play your part
We gotta protect our world
With all the respect we have in us
Though we gotta infect the world
With love to reject the disease
You gotta respect yourself
Whatever you need is in your reach
We can make it a better world
To learn somebody has to teach
I don't mean another world, talking to my generation
And I'm gonna spread the word, gotta listen what I'm saying
I don't need another world talking to every nation
You know I'm gonna spread the word, gotta listen what I'm saying
You gotta respect yourself
We gotta protect our world
With all the respect we have in us
We can make it a better world
We gotta protect our world
For you and for me
Just got to feel free
We'll make it up this time
We gotta protect our world
With all the respect we have in us
Though we gotta infect the world
With love to reject the disease
You gotta respect yourself
Whatever you need is in your reach
We can make this a better world
To learn somebody has to teach
You gotta respect yourself
Coldcut & Lisa Stansfield - People Hold On (1989)

Coldcut Lisa Stansfield - People Hold Onby didjieLyrics:
Everybody's looking for a meaning
Everybody's doing their own thing
And nobody's solving the problem
Ain't nobody helping each other
Some people give into fear
Some people give into hunger
Some of us live for the future
And some of us wonder
Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope, and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on
Everybody's getting frustrated
Why should we live with this hatered
We've all dancin' on a thin line
They're makin' out we're having a good time
So who's gonna give us the answer
Sister and brother
Givin' into life, givin' into love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on
People hold on, people hold on to it
you know you gotta do it
Give a little light, give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope, and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
People hold on
Don't do yourself wrong
People hold on
We've got to be strong
People hold on
Didn't know this lil gem was actually produced by Italian DJ genius Alex Gaudino...! Two years before his legendary 'Destination Calabria' (perhaps better known as Destination Unknown...) Alex hired vocalist Jerma to produce the most blatant - but brilliant! - sample/mix/copy of Coldcut & Lisa Stansfield's 'People Hold' On'. Feast your ears :-)

Lyrics:
Everybody's looking for a meaning
everybody's doing their own thing
And nobody's solving the problem
ain't nobody helping each other.
Some people give in to fear
some people give into hunger
Some of us live for the future
some of us wonder.
Give a little light
give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone.
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Everybody's getting frustrated
Why should we live with this hatred?
We are all dancing on a thin line
and nobody helping each other.
Some people give in to fear
some people give into hunger
Some of us live for the future
and some of us wonder
Give a little light
give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little light
give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little light
give a little love
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
Give a little hope and a little trust
Maybe there's enough for everyone
