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

Reach the stars
If I could reach the stars

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

Move for me, I'll move for you

Another night out, another dance floor

Lyrics:

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

Nush - U Girls (1994)

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.

U girls look so sexy, I wish you were all up here with me!

Missy Elliott feat. Eve - 4 My People (2001)

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.

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

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

Rogers & Hammerstein II - You'll Never Walk Alone (1945)


Richard Rogers & Oscar Hammerstein - You'll Never Walk Alone (1945)



Lyrics:

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

At the end of the storm
Is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk

You'll never walk
You'll never walk alone


William Blake & Sir Hubert Parry - Jerusalem (1808 & 1916)


William Blake & Sir Hubert Parry - Jerusalem (1808 & 1916)



The Poem:

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

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

Erasure - The Circus by jpdc11
Lyrics:

Call it new technology and they use it to burn
And they show no concern

Work for their prosperity while the big wheels turn
Now it's too late to learn

Don't upset the teacher though we know he lied to you
Don't upset the preacher
he's gonna close his eyes for you

And it's a shame
that you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Father worked in industry
Now the work has moved on and the factories gone

See them sell your history
Where once you were strong and you used to belong

There was once a future for a working man
There was once a lifetime for a skillful hand
yesterday.

And it's a shame
that you're so afraid
Just a worker waiting in the pouring rain
Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

There was once a future for a working man
There was once a lifetime for a skillful hand
yesterday

Putting back the pieces of a broken dream

a broken
a broken dream

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:

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 need is someone to hold
Hold me

Time after time, when I'm alone

Lyrics:

(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

Mel C - I Turn To You (2000)


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 - Summer Jam (2000)

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.

Sandy B - You Make The World Go Round (1996)



Lyrics:

You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down


You've really got to take a hold
A feeling deep down in ma soul
You've really got to taste this vibe
You know my love will take you high
And once we join we'll never part
We'll share the secrets of our hearts
We'll quickly move on past the pain
We'll quickly move on past the shame
And now i think its time you know
We're gunna take it nice and slow
No rushing 'coz we've got the night
We'll, take sometime to get it right!

So come on and get it
You know that i've got it
I'm ready and willing
You know i am, you know i am

So come on and get it
You know that i've got it
I'm ready and willing
You know i am, you know i am

You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down

Now we know what you all despire
From singing each and every vibe
Just loving each and everyday
A life time full of passion and play!

So come on and get it
You know that i've got it
I'm ready and willing
You know i am, you know i am

So come on and get it
You know that i've got it
I'm ready and willing
You know i am, you know i am

You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down

You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down
You make the world go round, you make my life turn down

Fatboy Slim - Star 69 (2001)

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...

Street Parade feat. Maury - Respect! (2007)

Soundtrack to my Morning: perhaps a bit heavy on the message, but I like it. Incidentally, this was also the lead track to Zurich's Street Parade in 2007, Switzerland's answer to Berlin's Love Parade in its heyday...
Street Parade feat. Maury - Respect! (2007) Lyrics: Life is filled with so many contradictions We're so different, underneath we're all the same 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

Lil Love - Little Love (2005)

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 :-)
Lil Love - Little Love (2005) 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
