Youth of today

Maybe if you were some spear headed guy
I would listen to what you have to say
But you’re just some incapable figure
Thinking you’re bigger
Than me
But you’re not, yeah
You don’t know a thing about
The youth of today
Stating your opinion
Making it ring in my head all day

And you say
My children weren’t the same
My children’s children they’re the ones to blame
And you say
In my day we were better behaved
But its not your day, no more

We are the youth of today
Change your hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We’ll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don’t care what you have to say, at all

And maybe if you had a true point of view
I would listen to you
But its just your
One-sided feelings
They keep getting in my way

And you don’t know a single thing about
The youth of today
Stating your opinion
Making it ring in my head all day

And you say
My children weren’t the same
My children’s children they’re the ones to blame
And you say
In my day we were better behaved
But its not your day, no more

We are the youth of today
Change your hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We’ll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don’t care what you have to say, at all

And you say
My children weren’t the same
My children’s children they’re the ones to blame
And you say
In my day we were better behaved
But its not your day, no more

We are the youth of today
Change your hair in every way
And we are the youth of today
We’ll say what we wanna say
And we are the youth of today
Don’t care what you have to say, at all

This is the life

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing
To the music vibe

And the boys chase the girls, with curls in their hair
While the shocked too many sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

So you’re heading down the road in your taxi for 4
And you’re waiting outside Jimmy’s front door
But nobody’s in and nobody’s home till 4
So you’re sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Ragger and his 1 leg crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight

And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Oh where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you singing the song thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Run

Will you tell me when your lines are fading?
Cos I can’t see
I can’t see no more

Will you tell me when the song stops playing?
Cos I can’t hear
I can’t hear no more

She said “I don’t know what you’re living for”
She said “I don’t know what you’re living for at all”
He said “I don’t know what you’re living for”
He said “I don’t know what you’re living for at all”

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will laugh until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there’s nothing more to live for

Will you tell me when the fighting’s over?
Cos I can’t take
I can’t take no more

Will you tell me the day is done?
Cos I can’t run
I can’t run no more

She said “I don’t know what you did it for”
She said “I don’t know what you did it for at all”
He said “I don’t know what you did it for”
He said “I don’t know what you did it for at all”

But I will run until my feet no longer run no more
And I will kiss until my lips no longer feel no more
And I will laugh until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there’s nothing more to live for

And I will laugh until my heart it aches
And I will love until my heart it breaks
And I will love until there’s nothing more to live for

Poison Prince

The poet’s a genius,
Its something I don’t see,
Why would a genius be trippin on me?

And there’s looking and another ,
Why he can’t see is that I’m looking through his eyes,
So many lies behind his eyes.
Tell me stories from your past,
And sing me songs you wrote before.

I tell u this my Poison Prince,
You’ll soon be knocking on Heaven’s door.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors,
So that we can dance the night away.

Who said life was easy,
Who said life was fair,
Who said no one gives a dam,
And no one even cared.

The way you’re acting now,
Like you left that all behind.
You’ve given up,
You’ve given in,
And I’m a sucker of that kind.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors ,
So that we can dance the night away.

Some kind of Poison Prince,
With your eyes in daze.
Some kind of Poison Prince,
Your life is like a maze.

And what we all want and what we all crave,
Is open up these doors ,
So that we can dance the night away

Mr. Rock & Roll

So called Mr Rock And Roll
Is dancing on his own again
Talking on his phone again
To someone who tells him that his balance is low
He’s got no where to go
He’s on his own again

Rock chick of the century
Is acting like she used to be
Dancing like there’s no one there
Before she never seemed to care
Now she wouldn’t dare
It’s so rock and roll to be alone

And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say “I wish I was something more”
And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say ” I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before”

Mrs Black and White
She’s never seen a shade of grey
Always something on her mind
Every single day
But now she’s lost her way
And where does she go from here

Mr Multicultural
Sees all that one can see
He’s living proof of someone
Very different to me
But now he wants to be free
Free so he can see

And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say “I wish I was something more”
And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say “I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before”

He says “I wish I knew you, I wish I met you
When time was still on my side”
She’ll say ” I wish I knew you, I wish I loved you
Before I was his bride”

And so they must depart
Too many more are broken hearts
But I’ve seen that all before
In TV, books and film and more
And there’s a happy ending
Every single day

And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say “I wish I was something more”
And they’ll meet one day
Far away
And say “I wish I knew you, I wish I knew you before”

L.A.

The inspiration for this song came from Scottish singer Amy MacDonald’s admiration for the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. On BBC Berkshire she explained: “Well I was just thinking and I thought everyone has somebody that they idolize – be it an actor or a sports player or a singer or whatnot. But I think in general that people should value their own dreams and their own achievements, even if we don’t do things as great as being in a Hollywood blockbuster. Just be proud of what we achieve ourselves.”
She wrote on her MySpace: “If I’m honest I really don’t like ‘LA’ all that much and don’t think it represents the album one bit.”

Barrowland Ballroom

This song is saying that even if you have a bad day once in a while, things get better.
The video features actress Samaire Armstrong, who plays Anna on the popular American teen TV show The O.C. Powter refused to star in the video with Armstrong because of their difference in age: he was 35 and she was 25. While a younger actor stars opposite Armstrong, Powter appears playing the piano while wearing his distinctive beanie.
In Europe, this was released in 2005 and became a hit when Coca-Cola used it as the theme song for an advertising campaign on the continent. It topped the Italian and German charts and was #2 in England for 3 weeks. In America, Powter’s album was released in 2006, and this song became a hit when the TV show American Idol started using it as a theme for the “goodbye video” for the departing contestants who were voted off the show on the fifth season.
