 * Silver & Gold **

In the shithouse a shotgun  Praying hands hold me down.  If only the hunter was hunted  In this tin can town, tin can town.  No stars in the black night  Looks like the sky fall down. <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> No sun in the daylight <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Looks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.

<span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> The warden says "The exodus sold." <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> If you want a way out... <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Silver and gold, silver and gold.

<span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Broken back to the ceiling <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Broken nose to the floor. <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I scream at the silence <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> It's crawling, crawls under the door. <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> There's a rope around my neck <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> And there's a trigger in your gun. <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Jesus, say something! <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> I am someone, I am someone.

<span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Captains and Kings in the ship's hold <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> They came to collect <span style="border: 0px solid red; display: block; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> Silver and gold, silver and gold.

 * Hotel California **

by [|Don Felder], [|Don Henley] and [|Glenn Frey]

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself, ’this could be heaven or this could be hell’ Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the hotel california Such a lovely place Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the hotel california Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain, ’please bring me my wine’ He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’ And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the hotel california

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face They livin’ it up at the hotel california What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’ And in the master’s chambers, They gathered for the feast The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can’t kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before ’relax,’ said the night man, We are programmed to receive. You can checkout any time you like,

But you can never leave!

**Redemption Song**

By Bob Marley

Old pirates, yes, they rob I; Sold I to the merchant ships, Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit. But my hand was made strong By the 'and of the Almighty. We forward in this generation Triumphantly. Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever have: Redemption songs; Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Ooh! Some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing These songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever have: Redemption songs; Redemption songs; Redemption songs.

//[Guitar break]//

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our mind. Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time. How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Yes, some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fulfil de book. Won't you help to sing Dese songs of freedom? - 'Cause all I ever had: Redemption songs - All I ever had: Redemption songs: These songs of freedom, Songs of freedom.


 * Children's Crusade **

By Sting

Young men, soldiers, nineteen fourteen Marching through countries they'd never seen Virgins with rifles, a game of charades All for a children's crusade Pawns in the game are not victims of chance Strewn on the fields of Belgium and France Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed

The children of England would never be slaves They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves The flower of England face down in the mud And stained in the blood of a whole generation

Corpulent generals safe behind lines History's lessons drowned in red wine Poppies for young men, death's bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed All for a children's crusade

The children of England would never be slaves They're trapped on the wire and dying in waves The flower of England face down in the mud And stained in the blood of a whole generation

Midnight in Soho nineteen eighty four Fixing in doorways, opium slaves Poppies for young men, such bitter trade All of those young lives betrayed All for a children's crusade.

Warehouse

By Dave Matthews

So I'm leaving

This warehouse frightens me.

Has me tied up in knots,

Can't rest for a moment.

Soon I'm going

I'm slipping slow away

Hoping to find something better than

I've got inside here

And the warehouse slips away

Hey reckless mind

Don't throw away your playful beginning

You and I will fumble around in the touches

And be sure to

Leave all the lights on

So we can see the black cat changing colors

And we can walk under ladders

And swim as the tide turns you around and around

Hey we have found

Becoming one in a million

Slip into the crowd

This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk

Keep all your sights on

The black cat changing colors

We can walk under ladders

And swim as the tide choose to turn you

And here I sit

Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set

Spot in the middle

Static fade, statistic bit

And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away

This I admit

Taste so good, hard to believe an end to it

Smell touch feel

How could this rhythm ever quit

Bags packed on a plane

Hopefully to heaven

Shut up I'm thinking

I had a clue now it's gone forever

Sitting over these bones

You can read in whatever you're needing to

Keep all your sights on

The black cat that's

Changing colors

It's not the colors that matter

But that they'll all fade away

This I admit

Seems so full

Hard to believe an end to it

Warehouse is bare

Nothing at all inside of it

Walls and halls have disappeared, they've disappeared.

My love I love to stay here

My love I love to stay here

My love I love to stay here

In a corner I was wondering

If a change would be better than this

And then I worry

Maybe things won't be better than they have been

Here in the warehouse

At the warehouse

How I love to stay here

At the warehouse

Every man and woman

Get alive

That's our blood down there

Seems poured from the hands of angels

But trickle into the ground

Leaves the warehouse bare and empty

And my heart's numbered beat

Still echo in this empty room

And fear wells in me

But nothing seems good enough to defend

So I am going away, I'm going away.

How do I conduct valid research?

Where do I look that up?
