Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams

By Green Day

 

I walk a lonely road;
The only one that I have ever known.
Don't know where it goes,
But it's home to me and I walk alone.

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone.

I walk alone,
I walk alone.

I walk alone,
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
'Til then I walk alone.

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah.

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone.

Read between the lines
What's stuffed up and everything's alright.
Check my vital signs,
and, no, I'm still alive and I walk alone.

I walk alone,
I walk alone.

I walk alone,
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone.

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah.
Ah-ah, Ah-ah,
I walk alone,
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
'Til then I walk alone....

The Hotel California

By The Eagles

 

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 place. (background)
Such a lovely face.
Plenty of room at the Hotel California.
Any time of year,
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here.

Her mind is Tiffany twisted.
She's got the Mercedes Benz.
She's 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 1969.”
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 place. (background)
Such a lovely face.
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California.
What a nice surprise.
What a nice surprise. (background)
Bring your alibis.

Mirrors on the ceiling,
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.
They 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 nightman,
“We are programmed to receive.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave.”

 

Wake Me Up When September Ends

By Green Day

 

Summer has come and passed.

The innocent can never last.

Wake me up when September ends.

Like, my father's come to pass.

7 years has gone so fast.

Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,

Falling from the stars.

Drenched in my pain again,

Becoming who we are.

As my memory rests,

But never forgets what I lost,

Wake me up when September ends.

 

Summer has come and past.

The innocent can never last.

Wake me up when September ends.

Bring out the bells again

Like we did when Spring began.

Wake me up when September ends.

Here comes the rain again,

Falling from the stars.

Drenched in my pain again,

becoming who we are.

As my memory rests,

But never forgets what I lost,

Wake me up when September ends.

 

Summer has come and passed.

The innocent can never last.

Wake me up when September ends.

Like, my father's come to pass.

20 years has gone so fast.

Wake me up when September ends.

Wake me up when September ends.
