[12] childhood dreams

[Intro]

You say, you're identical to none / But you're identical to some / Who wants to be a some? / Not me

[Verse 1]

I am not a one-trick pony / I am not a one-trick pony / I really feel no one can own me / I really feel nothing can hold me

[Pre-Chorus]

Nobody can control me / Nobody can conform me / Nobody can disown me /

• Nobody can ignore me
• [Chorus]
• So slow down / One-trick pony

[Verse 2]

I am not a one-trick pony / I am not a one-trick pony / For you I will not dance /

And for you I will not prance

[Pre-Chorus]

And where I was last / I'll never be at /

And after that / I've already passed

[Chorus]

Slow down / (Get on it girl, get on it girl) /

(It's got a price tag on it) / And hear this sound / (Get on it girl, get on it girl) /

(It's what you really wanted) / One-trick pony

[Bridge]

Yeah, you do it for a price / I can see it in your eyes / See that role was never mine / I don't want to stand in line /

See how that one-trick story goes / If she weren't on top you'd never know /

Cause a one-trick pony steals the show /

You're just a pony

[Chorus]

So back down / (Get on it girl, get on it girl) /

(It's got a price tag on it) / To the ground / (Get on it girl, get on it girl) /

(It's got a price tag on it) / And chill out /

(Get on it girl, get on it girl)

[Break]

Girl, you better shape up / Girl, you better shape up / Yeah the ride is so, so, so, so, so fast / Yeah, you better shape up / Yeah, just keep your chin up /

No half ass... no half ass

(She's coming undone) / (She's coming undone)

[Outro]

One-trick pony / Just ride ride ride /

(Say What You Want)

[Verse 1]

Paint my face in your magazines / Make it look whiter than it seems / Paint me over with your dreams / Shove away my ethnicity / Burn every notion that I / May have a flame inside to fight / And say just what is on my mind / Without offending your might

[Chorus]

’Cause this life is too short to live it just for you / But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do? / So say what you want / Say what you want

[Verse 2]

I saw her face outside today /

Weatherworn, lookin' all the rage /

Took her passion and her gaze and made a poster / Now it’s moccasins we sport /

We take the culture and contort /

Perhaps only to distort what we are hidin’

[Chorus]

’Cause this life is too short to live it just for you / But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do? / But say what you want / Say what you want

(Say, say)

[Bridge]

Hey you, the one, the one outside, are you gonna get in, get in? / Hey you, the one that don’t fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in? / Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your / Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo?

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you / But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

[Chorus]

’Cause this life is too short to live it just for you / But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do? /

’Cause this life is too short to live it just for you / But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do?

[Post-Chorus]

Say what you want (Life is too short) /

Say what you want / Say, say, say, say, yeah

(Gonna do)

[Outro]

Life is too short / Just for you /

Feel powerless / Gonna do

[Intro]

Peso... Joga... ginga... roda

[Verse 1]

Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun / With a lighter and some hairspray / Smoking in the girls' room /

Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's / By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody / Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some / Now we look back and see that she didn't know how

[Pre-Hook]

We never thought that we'd get caught up / Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we explode

[Verse 2]

Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart / Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled /

Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade / We couldn't get enough /

Then count the stars and the ten million woes / Just you and the universe judging each other

[Pre-Hook]

We never knew that we'd get caught up

Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we let go... yeah /

Peso... roda... ginga... joga

[Verse 3]

It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong / Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar / More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell /

At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break / Such a good, good story to tell

[Bridge]

You bully, you break, you bully, you break / You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake / You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it / And you're in it and it's spinning / And it's wild

[Pre-Hook]

We never thought that we'd get caught up /

Stuck in the teenage waste

[Hook]

As we explode / As we explode /

As we explode / As we explode

[Outro]

Try

[Verse 1]

All I know / Is everything is not as it's sold / But the more I grow, the less

I know / And I have lived so many lives /

Though I'm not old / And the more I see, the less I grow / The fewer the seeds, the more I sow

[Chorus]

Then I see you standing there /

Wanting more from me / And all I can do is try / Then I see you standing there / Wanting more from me / And all I can do is try

[Verse 2]

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness /

And all the real people are really not real at all / The more I learn, the more

I learn / The more I cry, the more I cry /

As I say goodbye to the way of life /

I thought I had designed for me

[Chorus]

Then I see you standing there /

Wanting more from me / And all

I can do is try / Then I see you standing there / I'm all I'll ever be / But all I can do is try

[Verse 3]

All of the moments that already passed / We'll try to go back and make them last / All of the things we want each other to be /

We never will be / And that's wonderful, and that's life / And that's you, baby / This is me, baby / And we are, we are, we are, we are / Free / In our love /

We are free in our love

[Break]

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Apanha um barco branco e vai, vai, vai / Apanha um barco branco e sai, sai, sai / Aquela menina à beira do mar /

Aquela menina à beira do mar /

Aquela menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina e vai, vai, vai

[Chorus]

Fresh off the boat / Fresh off the boat /

Fresh off the boat

[Outro]

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Querida menina à beira do mar /

Beira do mar, mar, yeah!

[Chorus]

Fresh off the boat / Fresh off the boat /

Fresh off the boat / Fresh off the boat

[Verse 1]

I rock these bare feet like no one else can /

My hands are dirty, I like 'em that way /

Shows who I am

[Chorus]

Fresh off the boat / Fresh off the boat

[Verse 2]

The wine tastes good on my sweet lips like sunshine / The plastic on the furniture suits me just fine

[Chorus]

I am fresh off the boat (Yeah) / Fresh off the boat (Yeah) / Fresh off the boat (Yeah) /

Fresh off the boat (Yeah) / I'm fresh off the boat / Fresh off the boat (Hear it on your radio) / Fresh off the boat (? on the mountain) /

Fresh off the boat / Djing djing djing…

Forca

[Verse 1]

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins / And it's the feeling like you're oh so glad you came / And it's the moment you remember you're alive /

It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire / It is that flower that you took the time to smell / It is the power that you know you got as well / It is the fear inside that you can overcome / This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum

[Chorus]

Como uma força, com uma força /

Como uma força que ninguém pode parar / Como uma força, com uma força / Como uma fome que ninguém pode matar

[Verse 2]

It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life / It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly / It is the beautiful game that you choose to play / When you step out into the world to start your day /

You show your face and take it in and scream and pray / You're gonna win it for yourself and us today / It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey /

The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey!

[Chorus]

Como uma força, com uma força /

Como uma força que ninguém pode parar /

Como uma força, com uma força / Como uma fome que ninguém pode matar /

Força, força, força, força, força / Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, mais perto do céu, mais perto do céu!

[Chorus]

Como uma força, com uma força /

Como uma força que ninguém pode parar /

Como uma força, com uma força /

Como uma fome que ninguém pode matar

[Bridge]

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins / And it's the feeling like you're oh so glad you came / It is the moment you remember you're alive / It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire

[Chorus]

Como uma força, como uma força /

Como uma força que ninguém pode parar /

Como uma força, como uma força /

Como uma fome que ninguém pode matar /

[Outro]

Pode parar, este amor, este amor /

É tão grande e tão forte / Come on!

[Verse 1]

Oh, I once had something / Something that was so good / Better than the last thing I touched / Then turned right around on that something / And figured i didn't like that much

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, the grass is green / But can you tell me, can you feel it, I want to feel it / Oh yeah, the grass is green /

But I think I stained my jeans and now everybody knows thah I been in it

[Verse 2]

I am a believer / But as I was standing /

In line, somebody took my place /

Yes, I'm a believer, never mind what they say / I got so tired along the way

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, the grass is green / But can you tell me, can you feel it, I just wanna feel it / Oh yeah, the grass is green /

But i think I stained my jeans and now everybody knows that I been in it

[Bridge]

I've got a skeleton that's deeper than any closet / And a bomb that I will drop on it / But you opened up to me / 'Til I could only see the beauty in your dishonesty

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, the grass is green / But can you tell me, can you feel it, you just wanna feel it / Oh yeah the grass is green / But it think I stained my jeans and now, baby, you can tell that I been in it / Oh yeah, the grass is green / But it's not what it seems cause when you think / You want it you just need it /

Forget just what you need / The clock is ticking and this life is a train, man, I think you're on it / But it's what you wanted, and what you needed /

It's what you wanted, and what you needed / Or is it what I needed and what you wanted

[Verse 1]

Picture perfect, a life that you saw in a magazine / Or maybe a travelling book /

Wanted to get on that plane and fly away / Cuz you are a rock star deep down inside / You walk with a swagger, got nothin' to hide / Cigarette in your mouth, a cuff on your jeans / Your sideburns are perfect, you're perfect and lean / So you made an oil painting to immortalize / All of the hope and vision in your eyes / In your leisure coat and cowboy hat / North American records and so much to bat for [Chorus]

Please bring me along / Please bring me along / Cuz I want to see everything you have to offer me

[Verse 2]

Get a job lifting cement / Oh, it's so dry, when it rains it gets wet / And the village was great, but now it's a suburb / You left behind half of all that you had learnt / You relearn a couple things along the way / The thrift store so clean, all for half what you'd pay / So you try everything on, on for size /

And drop top your Camaro and go for a ride /

[Bridge]

And I don't mind to sit here and waste all my time / Oh, but this world is not mine to define / And I wanna shine

[Chorus]

Please bring me along / Please take me away / I don't want to stay

[Outro]

And I want to see everything you have to offer me / I want to see everything the world has to offer me / I want to see everything the world has to offer me /

I want to show everything I have to offer it / I want to show everything

I have to offer it now

(ft. Jarvis Church)

[Verse 1]

Hot motel / Stuffy inside / I know well /

These eleven walls / Hot black tar / I tan my legs / I rest my heart /

And dream of the city

[Verse 2]

Magazine / And diet coke / I'm not a joke / This is me / Damaged leg / Heavy cart / Plastic cups / Linen mart

[Verse 3]

Rock garden / Where I used to play /

People stare / Part of their day / Coffee break / Lunch at noon / Pumpernickel steak / Green and orange room

[Verse 4]

Done my list (done my list) / Make my way (make my way) / To help my mother (help my mother) / End her day

(end her day) / Fresh cut grass (fresh cut grass) / Parking lot (parking lot) /

We roll on out (roll on out) /

We got a lot (got a lot)

[Verse 5]

We're on our way (on our way) /

Roll the window down (window down) /

And scream out loud (scream out loud) /

Oh we're tired now

[Verse 6]

Take it home (take it hoe) /

Step off the way (on my way) /

To the bakery (bakery) /

For some fruit and cake (fruit and cake) /

And home I lay (home I lay)/

After a shower clean (shower clean) /

I hit my head (hit my head) / And I dream

[Verse 1: Nelly Furtado]

The man wrinkles his face / But it's already worn / The coffee is sour / And the shirt is torn / But the smile is bigger than the Atlantic sea / And it happens to bring out the Atlantis in me

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado]

Island of wonder / Where do you come from / Is it the way the sun hits my face/

Or is it your memory which I cannot trace, I cannot trace

[Verse 2: Caetano Veloso]

Eu vejo mais ao longe / Pessoas sem fome /

Com pés sangrando / Na vereda Florida /

And the church bell dongs / A remarkable song /

And I swallow the salt / As I hum along /

The woman she laughs as I pass her by /

In a patchwork (dream) I left behind

[Chorus: Caetano Veloso]

Island of wonder / Where do you come from /

Is it the way the sun/ Hits my face /

Or is it your memory which I cannot trace /

I cannot trace

[Bridge: Nelly Furtado]

Look at me I have so much pride /

I took my shoes off I ran I did not hide /

Look at me I have so much pride /

I will give my dowry for the prize

[Chorus: Nelly Furtado & Caetano Veloso]

Island of wonder / Where are you going /

Nobody knows it / But it is snowing /

In the hearts / And minds of every kind of universe / Every kind of universe
