Tori Amos version fra album’et Strange Little Girls (2001)

the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
and nobody’s gonna go to school today
she’s going to make them stay at home

and daddy doesn’t understand it
he always said she was good as gold
and he can see no reason
’cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need to be shown

tell me why
i don’t like mondays
tell me why
i don’t like mondays
i don’t like
i don’t like
i don’t like mondays
tell me why
i don’t like mondays
i want to shoot
the whole day down, down, down
shoot it all down
heeyeea

and the playing stopped in the playground now
she wants to play with her toys a while
and school’s out early and soon we’ll be learning
the lesson today is how to die

and then the bullhorn cackles
and the captain tackles
with the problems and the how’s and why’s
and he can see no reason
’cause there are no reasons
what reason do you need to die, die, ohhh

tell me why
i don’t like mondays
tell me why
i don’t like mondays
i don’t like
i don’t like
i don’t like mondays
tell me why
i don’t like mondays
tell me why
i don’t like mondays
i don’t like
i don’t like
i don’t like mondays
ooohmmm
i don’t like mondays…no…

i wanna to shoot
the whole day down
whole day…
whole day….
the whole day down

Fra albumet Life In Cartoon Motion (2007) af Mika

Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont yo like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?

Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Slow Cheetah

[Verse]
Waking up dead inside of my head,
Will never never do,
There is no med,
No medicine to take,

I´ve had a chance to be insane,
Asylum from the falling rain,
I´ve had a chance to break,

It´s so bad it´s go to be good,
Mysterious girl misunderstood,
Dressed like a waiting cake,

Any other day and I might play,
A funeral band for Bonnie Brae,
Why try and run away,

[Chorus]
Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Looks likes it on today,
Slow cheetah come,
It´s so euphoric,
No matter what they say,

[Verse]
I know a girl she worked in a store,
She knew what not her life was for,
She barely knew her name,

They tried to tell her,
That she would never be,
As happy a girl in a magazine,
She bought it with with her pay,

[Chorus]
Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Looks likes it on today,
Slow cheetah come,
It´s so euphoric,
No matter what they say,

[Verse]
Everyone has so much to say,
They talk talk talk their lives away,
Don´t even hesitate,

Walking on down,
To the burial ground,
It´s a very old dance with a merry old sound,
Looks like it´s on today,

[Chorus]
Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Looks likes it on today,
Slow cheetah come,
It´s so euphoric,
No matter what they say,

Slow cheetah come before my forest,
Looks likes it on today,
Slow cheetah come,
It´s so euphoric,
No matter what they say,

Fra albumet Hunky Dory (1972) af David Bowie

It’s a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling “No”
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she’s lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It’s on Amerika’s tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
‘Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It’s about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on

Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Fra albumet Gotta Get Thru This (2003) af Daniel Bedingfield

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

You never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And Im praying you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don?t wanna to run away but I can?t take it, I don?t understand
If I?m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Fra albumet Revolver (1966) af The Beatles

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn’t know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn’t run, you didn’t lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
And had you gone you knew in time we’d meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we’ll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be,
When I’m with you I want to stay there
If I’m true I’ll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn’t know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you…

Fra albumet Crisis? What Crisis? (1975) af Supertramp

Can you believe me when I say, there’s nothing I like better,
Than just to sit here and talk with you.
Although I’ll rant and I’ll rave about one thing and another
The beauty of it is so pure to me, though,
I’m a poor boy,
I can still be happy,
As long as I can feel free.

So many people I know, get old way too early
(Well are you feelin’ kind of weary)
Just to impress you with the money they’ve made
(You better, you better you better change your theory)
One drop of rain, they complain, it’s the same about the ways they’re earning.

Well, that is not the way I’m gonna be,
Don’t mind the rain, don’t mind snow, don’t mind nothin’, if I know,
You will be right here with me
(We’ll let her stay, don’t mind a point of view,
How can we all afford to live like you;
The simple life is simply not enough,
We have no grievances, we must be tough)

(Poor Boy)
If that’s the way it’s gonna be
(Poor Boy)
It’s you for you and me for me
(Poor Boy)

I’ve tried all I can, understanding, all the fools and all their money,
When half of what they’ve got, you know they never will use,
Enough to get by, suits me fine, I don’t care if they think I’m funny.
I’m never gonna change my point of view,
Don’t mind the rain, don’t mind snow, don’t mind nothing, if I know
You will be right here with me, all the way.
Na-na-na
Don’t mind the rain, don’t mind snow, dont’ mind nothing, if I know
You will be right here with me

På albumet Live In Stockholm af The Real Group
Tekst og musik: C.Porter

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drop of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sun
Whether near to me, or far
There’s no matter darling where you are
I think of you night and day,

Night and day, why is it so
That this longing for you follows wherever I go
In the roaring traffic’s boom
In the silence of my lonely room
I think of you night and day,

Night and day Under the hide of me
There’s an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me
And this torment won’t be through
Til you let me spend my life
making love to you
Day and night, night and day

Blue Swede på soundtrack til Reservoir Dogs

I can’t stop this feeling
deep inside of me
boy, you just don’t realize
what you do to me

Your lips are sweet as candy
The taste is on my mind
you just keep me thirsty
for another cup of wine

When you hold me
in your arms so tight
you let me know
everything’s all right

I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
that you’re in love with me

I’ve got it bad for you darling
but I don’t need a cure
I’ll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure

All the good love
when we’re all alone
keep it up boy
yeah, you turn me on

I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
That you’re in love with me

When you hold me
in your arms so tight
you let me know
everything’s all right

I’m hooked on a feeling
I’m high on believing
that you’re in love with me

I said I’m hooked on a feeling……

Fra albumet Madman Across The Water af Elton John
Music: Elton John, Tekst: Bernie Taupin

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you’ll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
