Alternative Rock Singers

"Chris is proof of how wonderful humans can be when they really put their minds to it."

"Jacob Collier: Chris is one of the most brilliantly-minded musicians I think I’ve ever encountered, and so, so joyous. To be completely honest with you, I think there are very few musicians nowadays who are making music from the perspective of just being open and joyful. source"

"Don Johnson: He's a lovely man, I'll tell you that. But it's not my place; they have their own thing. It would be like asking Chris Martin: “How's Don's relationship with his wife?” source"

"Give me something to do to kill some time Take me to that place that I call home Take away the strains of being lonely Take me to the tracks at Christie Road."

"The people that you grew up and braved the trials of high school with will always hold a special place. Through all the BS of high school you hope that your friends had the time of their life, and that's what the song is talking about"

"Another turnin' point, a fork stuck in the road Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test, and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's somethin' unpredictable, but in the end is right I hope you had the time of your life"

"We pride ourselves on trying to put on the best show we can and we're not afraid to say that we happen to be the best live band in the world"

"A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over the garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!'"

"We need each other / We believe in one another / And I know we're gonna uncover / What's sleeping in our souls""

"When I was young I though I had my own key / I knew exactly what I wanted to be / Now I'm sure / You've boarded up every door While we're living / The dreams we had as children fade away""

"My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say / You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway / You're half the world away I've been lost, I've been found / But I don't feel down""

"I haven't seen your face around since I was a kid / It's bringing back the memories of the things that we did""

"We live a dying dream / If you know what I mean""

"I'm over my heart's desire / I feel cold, but I'm back in the fire Love is a litany / A magical mystery / And all in good time""

"I still don't know what I was waiting for / A big love to fall down from the sky Heaven must have sent you / To save me from the rapture""

"Gold and silver and sunshine is rising up""

"Suddenly I found that I'd lost my way in this city / The streets and the thousands of faces all bleed into one I'm having trouble just finding some soul in this town It's all they can do to be part of the queue 'There'll be no tomorrow' they say / Well I say 'More's the pity'""

"My girlfriend called me the other night / She said 'Boy, you lazy I don't mind / As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine / I'll be fine I can't get a life if my heart's not in it I lost my faith in the summertime / 'Cos it don't stop raining I begged my doctor for one more line / He said 'son, words fail me / It ain't your place to be killing time' / I guess I'm just lazy""

"I've waited for a thousand years / For you to come and blow me out my mind The world around us makes me feel so small If you can't hear me call / Then I can't say, Lyla / Heaven help you catch me if I fall""

"You get your mucky fingers burnt / You get your truth from the lies that you've learnt Fed up with life in the city / 'Cos all the phonies have blown my mind It's all mine!""

"We dream our dream alone with no resistance / Fading like the stars we wish to be True perfection has to be imperfect My God woke up on the wrong side of his bed Little by little / We gave you everything you ever dreamed of / And little by little / the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off" **"

"Why you scared? / You'll never change what's been and done All of the stars / Have faded away / Just try not to worry / You'll see them someday / Take what you need / And be on your way / And stop crying your heart out""

"You look like a faded picture / I see the cracks forming on your skin For smoking all my stash / For burning all my cash.. It's all over town that the sun's / Going down on the days / Of your easy life""

"God gave me a soul / And your rock 'n' roll In and out my brain / And running through my vein / You're my sunshine / You're my rain""

"When yer lonely and you start to hear/The little voices in your head at night/You will only sniff away the tears/So you can dance until the mornings light And in your head, do you feel what your not supposed to feel? You need more time / 'Cos your thoughts and words won't last forevermore""

"You know that feeling you get / You feel you're older than time? Do you keep the receipts for the friends that you buy? And I hope you know / That it won't let go / It sticks around with you until the day you die. I hope the tears don't stain the world that waits outside."

"What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtains?. My family don't seem so familiar / And my enemies all know my name. You better get on your knees and pray / Panic is on the way My eyes are dead / My throat's like a black hole / And if there's a God / Would he give another chancer / An hour to sing for his soul?""

"Thank you for the sun / The one that shines on everyone / Who feels love."

"Is it any wonder why Princes & Kings / Are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings / When ordinary people who are like you and me / Are the builders of their destiny."

"It's a bit early in the midnight hour for me / To go through all the things that I want to be Take me away / 'Cos I just don't want to stay / And the lies you make me say / Are getting deeper every day If you're lost at sea / Well I hope that you drownd" Please don't cry / Never say die"

"Maybe the songs that we sing are wrong / Maybe the dreams that we dream are gone / So bring it on home and it won't be long / It's gettin' better man!"

"And I want to be there when you're coming down / And I want to be there when you hit the ground Don't go away / Say what you say / Say that you'll stay... because I need more time just to make things right Damn my education / I can't find the words to say Me and you, what's going on?/All we seem to know/Is how to show, the feelings that are wrong"

"Would you maybe / Come dancing with me / 'Cos to me it doesn't matter if your hopes and dreams are shattered""

"The future's mine and it's no disgrace, cos in the end the past means nothing. I feel a little down today, and I ain't got much to say And if I stumble, catch me when I fall / 'Cause, baby, after all / You'll never forget my name."

"Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday / I've got a lot of things to learn What's the matter with you? / Sing me something new The cold and wind and rain don't know / They only seem to come, and go away Stand by me / Nobody knows the way it's going to be There is one thing I can never give you / My heart will never be your home""

"I'll have my way, in my own time / I'll have my say, my star will shine."

"Round this town you've ceased to be / That's what you get for sleeping with the enemy Guess who's gonna take the blame for my big mouth Into my big mouth / You could fly a plane""

"I met my maker / I made him cry / And on my shoulder / He asked me why / His people won't fly / Through the storm / I said listen up man, they don't even know you're born All my people / Right here, right now / D'you know what I mean? Coming in a mess / Going out in style / I ain't good looking / But I'm someone's child No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe""

"How many special people change? / How many lives are living strange? / Where were you while we were getting high? People believe that they're gonna get away for the summer/ But you and I/ We live and die/ The world still spins around we don't know why. Someday you will find me, caught beneath the landslide / In a champagne supernova in the sky.""

"She's got a sister / God only knows how I missed her / And on the palm of her hand is a blister She's got a brother / We don't get on with one another / But I quite fancy her mother / And I think that she likes me She's got one in the oven / But it's nothing to do with me""

"All your dreams are made / When you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade""

"Here's a thought for every man who's tried to understand what's in his hands Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say / Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay / As he faced the sun, he cast no shadow. As they took his soul they stole his pride""

"Some might say that sunshine follows thunder / Go and tell it to the man who cannot shine / Some might say that we should never ponder / On our thoughts today 'cos they hold sway over time Some might say / We will find a brighter day Some might say they don't believe in heaven / Go and tell it to the man who lives in hell" *"

"I took a walk with my fame down memory lane / I never did find my way back" Feel no shame / 'coz time's no chain""

"Slip inside the eye of your mind / don't you know you might find / A better place to play So I'll start a revolution from my bed / Because you said the brains I had went to my head. Please don't put you're life in the hands / Of a rock 'n' roll band / Who'll throw it all away""

"I don't believe that anybody / Feels the way I do / About you now All the roads that lead you there are winding / And all the lights that light the way are blinding There are many things that I would like to say to you / But I don't know how. Maybe / You're gonna be the one that saves me""

"You've got to say what you say / Don't let anybody get in your way""

"I hate the way that you are so sarcastic, and you're not very bright. You think that everything you've done's fantastic, your music's shite it keeps me up all night. And it will be nice to be alone, for a week or two, but I know then I will be right, right back here with you""

"I dream of you / And all the things you say / I wonder where you are now I need you now / You've knocked me off my feet We talk of going old / But you say "Please don't Let me be the one / Who shines with you / In the morning / We don't know what to do""

"I was looking for some action / but all I found was cigarettes and alcohol Is it worth the aggravation to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for? You might as well do the white line""
