Crash Into Me

Youve got your ball
Youve got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Whos got their claws
In you my friend
Into your heart Ill beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll
Lost for you Im so lost for you
You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
Im bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If Ive gone overboard
Then Im begging you
To forgive me
In my haste
When Im holding you so girl
Close to me
Oh and you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boys dream.. in a boys dream
Oh I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way Id like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me

Kelly Clarkson

"Never Again"

I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green
I hope when your in bed with her, you think of me
I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well
Could you tell, by the flames that burned your words

I never read your letter
'Cos I knew what you'd say
Give me that Sunday school answer
Try and make it all OK

[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there
Bet it sucks, to see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
She may believe you but I never will
Never again

If she really knows the truth, she deserves you
A trophy wife, oh how cute
Ignorance is bliss
But when your day comes, and he's through with you
And he'll be through with you
You'll die together but alone

You wrote me in a letter
You couldn't say it right to my face
Give me that Sunday school answer
Repent yourself away

[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there
Bet it sucks, to see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
They may believe you but I never will
Never again

[Bridge]
Never again will I hear you
Never again will I miss you
Never again will I fall to you
Never

Never again will I kiss you
Never again will I want to
Never again will I love you
Never

[Chorus]
Does it hurt to know I'll never be there
Bet it sucks, to see my face everywhere
It was you, who chose to end it like you did
I was the last to know
You knew exactly what you would do
And don't say, you simply lost your way
They may believe you but I never will
I never will
I never will

Never again

Life is Beautiful by Vega4

Life is beautiful
We love until we die

When you run into my arms,
We steal a perfect moment.
Let the monsters see you smile,
Let them see you smiling.

Do I hold you too tightly?
When will the hurt kick in?

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated.
We barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Yeah, life is beautiful.
Our hearts, they beat and break.

When you run away from harm,
Will you run back into my arms,
Like you did when you were young?
Will you come back to me?

I will hold you tightly
When the hurting kicks in.

Life is beautiful, but it's complicated,
we barely make it.
We don't need to understand,
There are miracles, miracles.

Stand where you are.
We let all these moments pass us by.

It's amazing where I'm standing,
There's a lot that we can give.
This is ours just for a moment.
There's a lot that we can give.

"Your Song"- Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

What literary device is most commonly used throughout the song?
A)euphony
B)assonance

Jack Johnson -- Never Know

Jack Johnson - Never Know

I heard this old story before
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors
But don’t leave much up to the imagination
So I want to give this imagery back
But I know it just ain’t so easy like that
So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again
It sure seems the same with a different name

We’re breaking and rebuilding and we’re growing, always guessing

Never knowing
We’re shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human, amusing and confusing
We’re trying, but where is this all leading?
We’ll never know

It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster
Want to take a time-lapse and look at it backwards
Find the last word and maybe that’s just the answer that we’re after
But after all we’re just a bubble in a boiling pot
Just one breath in a chain of thought
We’re moments just combusting
We feel certain but we’ll never, never know

It sure seems the same, give it a different name

We’re begging and we’re needing, and we’re trying, and we’re breathing

Never knowing
We’re shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human, amusing and confusing
We’re helping, rebuilding and we’re growing
Never know

Knock, knock, coming door to door
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours
And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim
If you don’t believe in what they’re spoon-feeding
It’s got no feeling so I read it again and again and again

It sure seems the same, so many different names
Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we’ll always be competing

Never knowing
We’re shocking but we’re nothing
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless
We’re just human, amusing, confusing
But the truth is, all we got are questions
We’ll never know

This song includes all of the following devices EXCEPT :

A) Metaphor
B)Repitition
C)Allusion
D)Anaphora
E)Juxtaposition

"Outdoors" by Us

There's a strange door over there
I don't know where it goes
Some say that it goes out there
to a place that can be called
Outdoors
Outdoors

Outdoors
This door took me out there,
Out there is outdoors where the outdoors is.
There's some grass on the ground and a tree over there
I don't know where I'll find you out here
Outdoors
Outdoors

There's a tree over there
I walked up to that tree
and I climbed up it.

I roamed the roads through the trees.
Trying to claim my place.
The one shelter that calls to me,
Whose woods I think I know.
What am I to do?...
Without the buffer I knew?
Is there more I can do?
Lost without you...

Where are you now,
when I need you most?
Suffocating through
Reality's host.
You said to look down,
when all was lost.
Where are you Lily?
Where are you now...
Where are you now...

Outdoors.
I climbed up that tree.
Up in the air with the ground below me.
My reflection in that tree over there,
What's he doing, in that tree?
The mirror...
In the tree over there,
That was outdoors.

Lilly, is that you?

There you go, guiding your wings rising as the sun,
Your petals bring hope, your petals bring strength
The strength to fight on

Even though our lives before were tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on...
They never die
That's how you And I will always be

If there ever comes a day when I’m not there, I’ll always be with you. And so she was.
And we sat in the grass, smiling…remembering the pleasant memories.
Remembering Outdoors.

What is Lily's role to the speakers?
A) Microcosm for their former life
B) Symbol for protection
C) Creator of ignorance and pain
D) Catalyst to self-awareness
E) A happy illusion in their minds

Corona and Lime Shwayze

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Verse:
Yo. Lil girls in the city. Dress up pretty.
Go out and get messed up and shitty.
Girls by the sea, dress like hippies. And write love beads and go skinny dippin'.
Girls in the hills, go day trippin. To get their nails done, and hair straighten.
Lil girls in the 818. Get hot when I roll over laurel canyon.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
She walk slow down the avenue.
I ain't met her, but I get her when I do.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
She stay at home cause she hate the club.
Baby but, pretty little features.
I ain't met her but I'll get her when I see her.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Girls in New York look like giraffes.
Long neck, long legs, tiny tits and ass.
Girls from L.A rock oversized shades.
And chill all day cause they already payed.
Girls in Miami. Street bikinis.
Bump techno by Dj Tiesto.
Girls from Detroit Like electro. And dance all night till they break they neck, yo.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Now if you lookin for love, won't you put you hands up.
(if you lookin for love, won't you put you hands up.)
If you lookin for love then I'm lookin for love.
(If you lookin for love then I'm lookin for love.)
Now if you lookin for love, won't you put you hands up.
(if you lookin for love, won't you put you hands up.)
Now, if you lookin for love then I'm lookin for love, huh. And this is what I'm lookin for.

Let me tell you about a girl I know.
She like hip hop and rock and roll.
She walk slow down the avenue.
I ain't met her, but I get her when I do.
Let me tell you about a girl I love.
She stay at home cause she hate the club.
Baby but, pretty little features.
I ain't met her but I'll get her when I see her.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your main squeeze.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street.

Baby will you be my corona and lime.
And I will be your sandy beach.
And if your brother don't like my style.
We could take it to the street.
We could take it to the street
