Song of the Day: Johnny Cash - Hurt

Johnny Cash - Hurt

An amazing cover of an original song by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.

If it starts getting too heavy for you - there's a funny version of this song by Kermit the Frog out there if you search for it :)



 Lyrics

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Song of the Day: The Clash - Rudy Can't Fail

Lyrics

Sing, Michael, sing, on the route of the 19 Bus

Hear them sayin', how you get a rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast, Rudie can't fail, no, no
We reply, I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can't live in service
Like the doctor who was born for a purpose, Rudie can't fail

(Ok) I went to the market to realise my soul
'Cause what I need I just don't have (Don't have)
First they curse, then they press me 'till I hurt
We say, "Rudie can't fail"
First you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a saviour, Rudie can't fail
We reply, now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin' cool and a speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast, Rudie can't fail, oh no
I went to the market to realise my soul
'Cause what I need I just don't have (Don't have)
First they curse, then they press me 'till I hurt
Rudie can't fail
Ok, ok
So where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man
So you're looking pretty smart (Chicken skin suit) in your chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot (Pork pie hat) in your pork pie hat (?)
? Sy choose to get bob a room?
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail (? Bubble bath, worth a bob?), Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail, Rudie can't fail (? secret tooth, only?)

Song of the day: UB40 - Many Rivers To Cross

(Original song by Jimmy Cliff, see below lyrics for original)

Lyrics

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jimmy_cliff/many_rivers_to_cross.html ]
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry

Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering, I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
And I merely survive because of my will..

Original Version

Song of the Day: UB40, Please don't make me cry

Lyrics

You say you are going to leave me
I'm begging you to stay
My baby I can't get through any way
No I can't
And when I wake up in the morning
You are gone
Little pretty thing
You know I'll be all alone

(chorus)

You'll hear me crying (mmmmmmm)
Please don't make me cry (mmm mmmm)
'cos I can't say good-bye (mmmmm)
Please don't make me cry
Because I know
There will be nothing left for me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/u/ub40/please_dont_make_me_cry.html ]
All them good good times
We spent together
You said it was me and no other (yeah)
And now you want to make me pain inside
Darlin' I know you are going to make me cry

(chorus)

You'll hear me... etc

All this pain I can't stand it
You're going to leave
You're going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are (mmmmm)

(chorus)

You'll hear me... etc

All this pain I can't stand it
You're going to leave
You're going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are
Please don't make me cry
Baby I'm pleading

Song of the Day: UB40 Cherry Oh Baby (1984)

This song has such a good melody that I have never been interested in knowing the lyrics :)

Lyrics


Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cherry, oh, cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you know i`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe I do,
Then why don`t you try me?
I`m never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then I will receive you gladly.

(chorus)

Cherry, oh, cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you know i`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe I do,
Then why don`t you try me?
I`m never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then why do you treat me badly.

(chorus)
