These Days Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:51:00 +0000

From the album As the Music Plays (2004) by Bamboo.

These days
I seem to find
A million reasons
To sit around and waste my mind
I know what's being said and that's all fine
You tell me to get a life
Do you understand the weight of that line?
Take me for all I am

Chorus:

'Cause I can find
My own way
Big date tonight, there's no tomorrow
So let’s leave it on the line
'Cause there's time
It’s not too late
To change direction
Turn your head, son
So let's leave it on the line

There's something within
That's telling me that I'm just playing it too cool
I could pretty much lose everything
Oh, I never had an apple
That tasted so, so sweet
Given the chance, the choice
Take me for all I am

(Repeat Chorus)

Today, I am free
Free to fly
Free to be what they tell me I cannot be
Happy birthday to me

(Repeat Chorus)

Today

Is this the light at the end?
Where the picture is clearer, the reception is warmer
Is this the light at the end?
You're looking lot better, we're happy too see you
Is this the light at the end?
You got what you came for, you know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end?
Where the women are hot, but the beer's a lot colder
Is this the light at the end?
Your mother's looking good, what's she doing for dinner?
Is this the light at the end?
If your mother's doing something, do you have a younger sister?
Is this the light at the end?
You got what you came for, you know where to find the door
Is this the light at the end?
Is this the light at the end?

You know when I woke up
To beautiful morning 'til you showed up
Nauseous I was too see you standing there in my presence
But it was all right
'Cause I'm not about to fight
When this bird wants to sing
I'll sing

Gunpoint that suppose to scare me into submission
A slave to your will, fear, greed, and ambition
But I'm not game
I'm not game to your flame
There's no discussion
I will fight to the end
I will fight to the end
I will fight to the end, fighter
I will fight to the end, fight to the end

04 Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:23:00 +0000

From the album Light Peace Love (2005) by Bamboo.

I'll move on
Here lying in my cozy bed
What’s next on my list
Too much to think about
Maybe I'm better off dead
Realize when everything's done and said
I've given up

Goodbye friend
We never really had a chance to talk
Take a breath just a minute or two
Let me try to find a reason
For what you're about to do
What are you about to do?

You got our attention
Let's all just settle down
So you did the unimaginable
Oh, I hope you're proud
'Cause it’s never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same

Brother this is it
Was this some race to the end?
Save me from myself, remind me what I have to do
'Cause from time to time I seem to forget
Oh yes the sun will rise once again
Talk to you later, friend

(Goodbye, friend)

Prayer for the Dying Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 14:14:00 +0000

From the album We Stand Alone Together (2007) by Bamboo.

Fearless people
Careless needle
Harsh words spoken
And lives are broken

Forceful aging
Help me, I'm fading
Heaven's waiting,
It's time to move on

Crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
Life carries on

Just say die
And that'll be pessimistic
In your mind
We can walk across water
Please don't cry
It's a prayer for the dying
I just don't know what's got into me

Been crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on, say yes, while people say no
Life carries on

Life goes on
It goes on

Been crossing that bridge
With lessons I've learned
Playing with fire
And not getting burned
I may not know what you're going through
But time is the space
Between me and you
There is a light through that window
Hold on, say yes, while people say no

Muli Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:45:00 +0000

From the album Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday (2008) by Bamboo.

Walang katulad mo
Walang kasing-lakas
Ng tama mo

Salamat sa iyo
Aking guro't gabay
Dahil sa iyo
Ang buhay ko'y nagka-saysay

Sa malas kong ito
Minsan sinwerte din ako
Nang makilala
Ang taong tulad mo

Chorus:

Pasensya na, sana maintindihan mo
Gusto lang kitang makasamang
Muli

Sa likod ng skwela
Sa tindahan ni Nanang
Daloy ng pag-ibig
Doon kong unang natikman

Sa daming alaala
Sana tandaan ninyo
Ang problema ng isa
Problema ng grupo

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental)

Para sa lahat ng minahal ko nang tunay
Andito't lumisan, sa puso ko'y buhay pa rin kayo
(Buhay kayo) Oh, sa puso ko'y buhay pa rin kayo

Dinner at 6 Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 15:31:00 +0000

From the album Light Peace Love (2005) by Bamboo.

Dinner at 6, I can no longer wait
For your call I’ve been waiting for days
It’s hard for me to think you've forgotten my number
When we had such a nice chat the other day
Hope nothing serious has happened
It's been a good weekend
Called my mother 3 times
My streak's finally broken
It’s been a while since I've seen such a lovely face
Will nothing spoil my day
Let nothing spoil my day
I’m afraid to look
Only to find
You could be like the rest
Give me a sign

You think you’ve figured me out
I’m a mess still you want to stay
Like fine wine this keeps getting better with time
What’s the delay

Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn't be any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name, that little look you gave gave it away

So behave
I'll be nice
Mother I don’t need to be told twice

6 in the morning and I’m still here
I’m still here
What you read in the paper
Yes I tell you they're lies
Stop looking at me with those vanishing eyes
The gods have spoken and I'm forced to fib it was the night of nights
I went out for a little drink
Met up with an old friend said hello
Goodbye, I got to go
Oh home
Only to find nobody
You're afraid to take a hard look
Let me sell you my story
It's tragic
You think you’ve figured me out I'm a mess, you still want to stay
Save your tears for later I got something cooking
Let's not delay

Well I know this all looks bad but underneath it all
But your timing couldn't be any better this is my curtain call
Well I know you know my name, that little look you gave gave it away

So behave
I'll be nice
Mother I don’t need to be told twice

(Instrumental)

You better behave
Take a better look at yourself
You better behave
Take a better look at yourself
This is a shame
This is a shame
That I've fallen from grace? (Repeat 6x)
That I've fallen (4x)

Such a shame (5x)
How far have you fallen? (2x)
How far have you?

F. U. Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:20:00 +0000

From the album Light Peace Love (2005) by Bamboo.

Why do you hate him
Why did you make him leave
There’s nothing wrong with him

Why do you hate him
You want him crucified
Is it the way he looks
Or the way he speaks his mind

Never hear this song playing on the radio

Oh, there’s nothing wrong with him
But it’s you and your friends
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with him
But it’s you and your friends

Never hear this song playing on the radio

All you ever did was talk about her
She’s done what she had to do
Having to raise two kids without a father

You just sat there, watched her suffer
You think you’re something special
Boy you blew it
This conversation’s over

Never hear this song playing on the radio

Oh, there’s nothing wrong with her
But it’s you and your friends
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with her
But it’s you and your friends

Never hear this song playing on the radio

(Instrumental)

Oh, there’s nothing wrong with him
But it’s you and your friends
Oh, there’s nothing wrong with him
Fuck you and your friends

You'll never hear this song playing on the radio

So Far Away Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:09:00 +0000

From the album We Stand Alone Together (2007) by Bamboo.

So far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn't help to know that you're just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you're so far away

One more song about movin' along the highway
Can't say much of anything that's new
If I could only work this life out my way
I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

But you're so far away
You're so far away
You're so far away

(Instrumental)

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothin' else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
But there's so many dreams I've yet to find

But you're so far away
Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
And it doesn't help to know, it doesn't help to know
It doesn't help to know

You're so far away
You're so far away

Tatsulok Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 08:27:00 +0000

From the album We Stand Alone Together (2007) by Bamboo.

Totoy bilisan mo, bilisan mo ang takbo
Ilagan ang mga bombang nakatutok sa ulo mo
Totoy tumalon ka, dumapa kung kailangan
At baka tamaan pa ng mga balang ligaw

Totoy makinig ka, huwag kang magpagabi
Baka pagkamalan ka't humandusay diyan sa tabi
Totoy alam mo ba kung ano ang puno't dulo
Ng di matapos-tapos na kaguluhang ito?

Chorus:

Hindi pula't dilaw tunay na magkalaban
Ang kulay at tatak ay di siyang dahilan
Hangga't marami ang lugmok sa kahirapan
At ang hustisya ay para lang sa mayaman
Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo

Iligtas ang hininga ng kay raming mga tao
At ang dating munting bukid, ngayo’y sementeryo
Totoy kumilos ka, baliktarin ang tatsulok
Tulad ng dukha, nailagay mo sa tuktok

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Habang may tatsulok at sila ang nasa tuktok
Di matatapos itong gulo
Di matatapos itong gulo

Mr. Clay Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:49:00 +0000

From the album As the Music Plays (2004) by Bamboo.

Red sun dawn
Guns are drawn
Skull and bones
Beast of war
Father help me stop this

Rush of blood to the head
I look at you and I see red
Start the game
I'll end it

By this hate that you help the world create
I've been sent
Now repent
I'm the war that comes to you
I'm the plague that follows through

I've been told
You've been warned
To stop the hatred you have spawned
The qualms you have are stupid
By this movement manifest
Lord now put you to the test
Yet you fail
Now the blind that follow you
Will burn in hell with you

Chorus:

All by myself
I know that I stand here alone
All your lies they feed me
I'm stronger now
Stronger now than I was before
There's no way you can
Hurt me
Move me
Stop me

Talk too much, motherfucker hush
You had your chance to change things
Move in the direction of right
Choose to set the bar
But then you had to pick a fight
So what's daddy done for you lately?
Bought you the throne
Like stealing candy from a baby
Line your pockets with mucho dinero
Paid in full with the blood of the people

So now you got the fire rockin'
Blood and hate
Then you got the people talking
Legacy
You will never be forgotten
Your place in history
A black mark in time
A black mark in time

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental)

Peace and flowers
Will kill the superpower
The fall of Rome is near
Can't you hear
It's been written, it's been said
The revelations I have read
The signs are here
Those days are over
Walk away from the line
For now is the time

(Repeat Chorus)

Probinsyana Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:42:00 +0000

From the album We Stand Alone Together (2007) by Bamboo.

Ang probinsyana ay di basta-basta
Mahirap bolahin, kailangang haranahin
Ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
Di biro, babaeng probinsyana

Chorus:

Mahirap amuhin ang probinsyana
Pag napaibig, wala kang duda

Pag sa umaga, pisngi namumula
Pag nakasaya, maaakit ka
Ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
Di biro, babaeng probinsyana

(Repeat Chorus)

Probinsyana, probinsyana

(Instrumental)

Aking diwata, saan ka pumunta?
Lumuwas ng Maynila dala ang pangarap niya
Ang kanyang lakad, mabibighani ka
Nasaan na aking Maria Clara?

(Repeat Chorus)

Probinsyana, probinsyana

Umagang Kay Ganda Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:30:00 +0000

From the album We Stand Alone Together (2007) by Bamboo.

Halika na, pumikit, limutin ang problema
Hihintayin
Magpahinga, sa panaginip ka'y liligaya
Darating din ang umaga

Chorus:

Basta't tayo'y magkasama
Laging mayroong umagang kay ganda
Pagsikat ng araw
May dalang liwanag
Sa ating pangarap, oh
Haharapin natin

Simple lang, kasama ka naman
Kung ayaw nila sa akin, ok lang
Kung di mo makuha sa tingin
Idaan mo sa taas, kung ayaw pa rin

Gumising na (gumising na)
Araw ng pag-asa'y narito na
Dumating din, haharapin natin

(Repeat Chorus)

Haharapin natin
Haharapin natin
Haharapin natin

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

Noypi Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 06:09:00 +0000

From the album As the Music Plays (2004) by Bamboo.

Tingnan mo ang iyong palad
Kalyado mong kamay sa hirap ng buhay
Ang dami mong problema
Nakuha mo pang ngumiti
Noypi ka nga, astig
Saan ka man naroroon
Huwag kang matatakot
Sa baril o patalim
Sa bakas na madilim

Chorus:

Hoy, Pinoy ako!
Buo aking loob
May agimat ang dugo ko
Hoy, oh Pinoy ako!
May agimat ang dugo ko

Sinisid ko ang dagat
Nilibot ko ang mundo
Nasa puso ko pala, hinahanap kong kulo
Ilang beses na akong muntikang mamatay
O, alam ko ang sikreto kaya't andito pa't buhay

O sabi nila may anting anting ako
Pero di nila alam
Na Diyos ang dahilan ko

(Repeat Chorus)

Ho-oh-woh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo

Ho-oh-woh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo

Dinig mo ba
Ang bulong ng lahi mo?
Isigaw mo kapatid
Ang himig natin

(Repeat Chorus)

Ho-oh-woh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo

Hallelujah Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:57:00 +0000

From the album Light Peace Love (2005) by Bamboo.

Anong balita sa radyo at TV?
Ganoon pa rin, kumakapa sa dilim
Minsa'y naisip ko na umalis nalang dito
Kalimutan ang lahat, lumipad, lumayo, oh

Bato bato sa langit, tamaan huwag magalit
Alam naman natin kung sino ang tuso
Sa bawat sumpang umiiyak, singil ko ay piso
Sa bawat lumuluhang dukha, alay ko'y dugo

May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hangga't ako'y humihinga
May pag-asa pa

Chorus:

Hoh-oh-woh-oh
Hallelu, hallelujah
Sinong sawa, sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu, hallelujah
Hale-yeah-yeah-eh-eh

Rap:

Blinded by the light
I could barely see the faces in front of me
Asking me how do we begin
Well for starters from within
I'm ashamed of what I've become in the mirror
The face of my one true enemy
Hallelujah, it's a new day
Let's take control
If I have to take this message door-to-door
See myself in every soul
With permission
I'll make this my personal mission
Save me from the fire (from the fire)
Save me from the fire

Ngayong gabi
Ako ang sundalo mo
Habang ika'y tulog
Ako'y gising nakabantay sa iyo
Kasi mahal kita, tingnan mo
Pag-ibig ko sa 'yo lamang

May kasama ka kapatid, kaibigan
Hangga't ako'y humihinga
May pag-asa pa

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

Sinong sawa, sinong galit
Sumigaw ngayong gabi
Hallelu, hallelujah
Hoh-oh-woh-oh
Hallelu, hallelujah
Hoh-oh-woh-oh
Hallel-ooh

Last Days on a Cruise Ship Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:49:00 +0000

From the album Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday (2008) by Bamboo.

Maybe
Just give me a li'l more time
So I can just relax and lay down
On some beautiful real estate
The kind that money can't find
She burns so bright
She burns so bright

Knocking on my door
No don't you worry
I got this all under control
If things get tight
We can call the whole thing off
Better run she's gonna waste you
Better check your temperature
Follow the beat go faster and faster and faster

Prechorus:

No one break from the formation, no I won't run, I won't run
Finally my sins are forgiven, don't change the channel straight to battle
No one break from the formation, stand your ground, stand your ground
When you're this close to the sun, now's not the time to run

Chorus:

Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow
Don't wait for tomorrow

Now I see you're trying that Jedi mind shit on me
But I apologize I just ain't that kind of guy
Let me get you a name of someone else
He'll get back to you with a courteous reply
But it's been too long, too long
I'll burn first before it's long gone, long gone
Don't you worry 'bout me

(Repeat Prechorus and Chorus)

No one break, break, break
No one break, break, break

(Instrumental)

Rap:

He wrote a letter saying sorry for all that's he's done wrong
Me the perpetrator red-handed middle finger on the trigger
Sold on the idea that bigger was better
Whatever it took, sell your soul, better go
'Cause I'm not here to play no part
This boy's a fighter: all star, all soul
This boy's the clear winner
Ready to fire, ready to go

Don't wait for tomorrow (Repeat 8x)

Kailan Lyrics

noreply@blogger.com (H. D. Junkie) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 05:39:00 +0000

From the album Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday (2008) by Bamboo.

Bago ang lahat, isipin mo kung nasa tama ka
Baka magkamali ka pa doon
At bago mo ayusin ang mga bagay sa paligid mo
Unahin mo kaya sarili mo

Chorus:

Kailan?
Kailan ko gagawin kundi ngayon
Tao po, nananawagan lang naman ako
Saan?
Kailangan nating simulan
Tao po, nangangailangan lang ng tulong niyo

Nais kong mabuhay nang mabuti't marangal
Nagsisimba, nagdarasal ako tuwing linggo
Sapat na ba kaya itong sagot sa panalangin na
Maging pantay at patag ang mundo?

(Repeat Chorus)

Kailangan bang ulitin pang muli
Sa awit na sinabi noon
Kailan ba kaya ako malaya sa gulo
Ilang awit pa ba ang kailangan tugtugin ng
Bandang 'to?

(Repeat Chorus twice)

From the album As the Music Plays (2004) by Bamboo.

Ako'y malungkot na naman
Amoy chico na ako
Ilang tagay na hindi pa rin tulog
Tanong ko lang sa langit
Kung bakit pumangit
Ang dating masaya
Ngayo'y panay problemang bumabalot sa buto
Bakit ganito

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga pag bago pa ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga: masaya

Pagkagising ko
Nakita ko si Juan
Na siyang adik
Sa aming lugar
Parang droga daw ang bisa
Na ginamit niya kanina
Sa una lang daw masarap

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga, ako'y nilamon ng pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga: masaya

(Instrumental)

Ang pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga, ako'y nilamon ng pag-ibig
Ganyan talaga: masaya
