Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Til I Hear It from You .. Gin Blossoms


I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first I'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Until I hear it from you
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know, nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Liar .. The Cranberries


Say it if you want to and say it if you will
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No, I won't take too kindly to it.

And all I want is something special,
And you can't give it to me,
And all you do is lie to me,
'Cause you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

Say it if you want to,
And say it if you choose
But if you don't say what you are thinkin'
No I won't take too kindly to it

When all I want is something different
And you could't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar.

I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar,
I will run, I will fight,
I will take you through the night lie, lie, liar...

I'll fight you, I'll fight you
I'm fighing you
Liar, liar, liar
You know you're a liar,
Liar


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- A Girl Like You .. Edwyn Collins


I've never known a girl like you before
Now just like in a song from days of yore
Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door
And I've never met a girl like you before
You give me just a taste so I want more and more
Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw
Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor
And I've never met a girl like you before
You've made me acknowledge the devil in me
I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically
Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically
Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel
And I've never known a girl like you before
Never, never, never, never
Never known a girl like you before
This old town's changed so much
Don't feel like I belong
Too many protest singers
Not enough protest songs
And now you've come along
Yes you've come along
And I've never met a girl like you before


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Free .. The Martinis


Omnipresent phrase in my mind
Spoken word I've said one million times
Who are you to tell me it'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me

Always try to breeze through my life
Repetitious things I've done one million times
Who are you to tell me that I'll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

What could I do
It's not such a terrible thing
What would you do
It's not such a terrible thing

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don't try to find me


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Crazy Life .. Toad the Wet Sprocket


anyway now, it don't seem right
he is in there and you're on the outside
over pine ridge to wounded knee
there's blood on the ground as far as you see
crazy life

in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather
in the end the path is clear
does anyone remember here
did you all think he'd just disappear
crazy life
what have you done with Peltier
who did you think you'd taken away
crazy life

in the air i'm sensing a change in the weather
in the end the path is clear

burying won't stop it breathing forever
underground it takes to root

anyway, it don't seem right
he is in there and you're on the outside
what have you done with Peltier
who did you think you'd taken away
it's not over


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Bright As Yellow .. The Innocence Mission


And you live your life with your arms stretched out.
Eye to eye when speaking.
Enter rooms with great joy shouts,
happy to be meeting.

And bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.

And I do not want to be a rose.
I do not wish to be pale pink,
but flower scarlet, flower gold.
And have no thorns to distance me,

but be bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.

Even if I'm shouting, even if I'm shouting here
inside.
Even if I'm shouting, do you see that I'm wanting,
that I want to be so
bright,
bright,
bright as yellow,
warm as yellow.


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Circle Of Friends .. Better Than Ezra


Well how the times have changed
Looking back, it seems so clear now
Everything you wanted in your life
Everything is certain
Try and understand
Put a checklist on your wall
I am not what you think I should be

[Chorus]
But you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold
Yeah you're making amends
To your circle of friends
And you're trying to fit me to their mold

When you're trying to make decisions
When you try to water this thing down
Look up once in a while
You'll see it's not so clear
The things you believe in
Are the things that's worth keeping
Make a promise, stand right by your word

[Chorus, guitar solo, repeat chorus]
Your circle of friends
Your circle of friends
Your circle of friends


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- I Don't Want to Live Today .. Ape Hangers


Woke up this morning to a filthy sky above
I didnt wanna get out of my bed
When I was dreaming I was so in love
so in love I wished that I was dead
Can you dig it?
Can you help me? Can you help me?
Look into these eyes and tell me something here's worth living for today
Well I work so hard
what I got that aint much
What I got is mine all mine
But sometimes a helping hand is everything can you understand?
do you ever feel to lost to fight?
Can you help me? Can you help me?
I dont think i want to hesitate
Can you help me? Can you help me?
Look into these eyse and tell me
something heres worth living for today.

Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Whole Lotta Trouble .. Cracker


There's no happy ever after
here we're just trying to survive.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.

Work and you could have your money,
but that don't guarantee you're right.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.

In the morning the sun comes up.
In the evening the sun goes down.
Did you that I could look alive
when everything was dying
in this cold dark town.

Some folks just think you're starting over.
They take a lifetime to decide.

Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, baby.
Whole lotta trouble, in this life.


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Ready, Steady, Go .. The Meices


Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady;
Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; GO!!!!

"Ready, steady, go."
And all the things she said
"Ready, steady, go"?
What's goin' to her head?

Was the coat a reject from
The wrong side of the tracks
Turnin' into just skin and bones
And by the time I found
Who I was really in love with
It wasn't The Beatles or The Rolling Stones...

"Ready, steady, go."
And all the things she said
"Ready, steady, go"?
What's goin' to her head?

Make the wheels turn for 48 hours
Skim a little off the top
If you got too close
You could really smell how sour
Women won't let you make it tower...
Ready... Steady... GO!!!!

Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady;
Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady...

"Ready, steady, go."
And all the things she said
"Ready, steady, go"?
What's goin' to her head?

Ready? (ready!!)
Steady? (steady!!)
GO!!!!

I'm not in love with the television
I never listen to the radio
If what I say is my final reply
That was pretty good,
Now how 'bout some rock'n'roll?

Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady;
Ready, steady; ready, steady; ready, steady; GO!!!!

Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- What You Are .. Drill


Somewhere searching to figure it out
You take me back again
Somewhere drifting above and beyond
The sky and everyone

[chorus]
What you are [x3]
Is the voice behind that dream

Sleeping quiet I float in the air
Searching for you there
Miles and miles away from your touch
Aching everywhere


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Nice Overalls .. Lustre


I am waiting by the phone
Listen on the floor
You've got that rythm
I am fainting by your walls
You're headed out the door
I'll build my insight

Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'

I am kneeling by your walls
You're workin' in the bar
I know you inside
I am painting by your walls
You've headed out the door
I'll build my insight

Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'

Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'

Not droppin' the wayside
Because of all the hell I've taken
Not takin' the long ride
Besides, it's not my neck you're breakin'

Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Here It Comes Again .. Please


Here it comes again
What's flying in the sky
Here it comes again
With a passing grin
I'd love to have a try
Here it comes again

I know why it had to be this way
If I had to choose a way to go
It might not have worked out fine
If I dine on a banquet laced with lies
I'd just assume a label
Dipped in lead while soaked in wine

Here it comes again
The space between the minds
Here it comes again
(Here it comes again)
Here it comes again
What's looming in my mind
Here it comes again
(Here it comes again)

I know why it had to be this way
If you asked me for a label
I would graciously resist
If I dine on a banquet laced with lies
I would just assume a label
Dipped in lead while soaked in wine

Here it comes again
Thread the needle through the eye
Here it comes again
(Here it comes again)
Here it comes again
Know the critic and the spy
Here it comes again
(Here it comes again)

It makes no difference
Your washed-out eyes
Contagious wreckage
Was in my mind...

Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

I know why
I know why
I know why
I know why

Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- The Ballad of el Goodo .. Evan Dando


Years ago my heart was set to live on
And I've been tryin hard against unbelievable odds
Gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Guns they wait to be stuck by
And at my side is God

Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round

People round you tell you that they know
The places they have been, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down, and stand you in their role
You know you don't have to
You can just say no

And there ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round

I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
They'll get theirs and we'll get ours if you can just
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Years ago my heart was set to live on
And I've been tryin hard against unbelievable odds
Gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Gonna fall if I don't fight it
And at my side is God

Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round
Ain't no one goin to turn me round


Empire Records soundtrack lyrics -- Sugarhigh .. Coyote Shivers


they all said "she's just another groupie slut"
and I said I thought you were anything but
think again, sometimes reputations outlive their applications
and sometimes fires don't go out, when you're done playing with them
I feel so funny deep inside
when you kiss me goodbye

sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....sugarhigh

we could go out and not even leave the house
a t.v. set and a bottle of wine is just fine
making out on that old pull out couch
watching saturday night live, I guess that's why
I feel so funny deep inside
when I lick between your thighs

sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....sugarhigh

alright...solo

and I have searched both far and wide
and I've explored the deepest caverns of my mind
to try and find an explanation why
I get this funny feeling deep inside
when you kiss me goodbye
and when I lick between your thighs

sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....sugarhigh.....
sugarhigh....shhhhhhhhhhhhhh
