Cringe at the thought of lasting
One more lonely day in this empty room
Well I take another chance
And then in turn we can…
…sympathy and move ahead, raise hell for someone else
Cringe at the thought of lasting
One more lonely day in this empty room
Well I…
…looks who tried on
Working on breaking the shoulder you cried on
Take a sympathy and move ahead, breaks out for someone else
Cringe at the thought of…

Short of breath she tells me about the new order
While kicking the crap out of the bar's vending machine
She says…
…you see I'm empty?
And on stage there's a girl screaming her beefed up songs
With the faked aggression of…
…it dry
Seems we've been sitting forever
Getting empty together
My bottle and I
Now this ain't no holy spirit
And it sure ain't much of…

Fill my head with lies
Keep me safe from outside
Is it hard to breathe
Is it hard to see
Keeping track of time
Keep you hand…
…to tell if anything matters at all
Can you tell me I'm okay
Keep you close so I don't break
Chasing ghosts down empty halls
Down empty halls
Putting up…
…ghosts down empty halls
Down empty halls
Would you hold mе closer
Show me how to shoulder the weight
I get myself lost
Always end up…

…dawning hears our hate!
Look back on your shoulder, your shell is empty.
This is the enemy process!!!
Look deep in our eyes…
…and see calm before the storm winds.
Look back on your shoulder, your shell is empty.
I feel the loose inside your eyes!
Look back…
…on your shoulder, your shell is empty.
This is the enemy process!!!
We bring the truth and the doubt to your darkest fears...
Look…

…on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13th…
Rota and John Ramsay. An empty journal, with a note that said something along the lines of, “Congratulations on everything Sound City…
…about now. Another empty journal, another tap on the shoulder...those things are never far behind. It's what lies ahead…

Well there was something in the way
You used to look out of your window and say
As the rain would drizzle down
You'd say there's…
…got to be a better way
A look beginning in your eye
Drown out the other thoughts in front of you
And I'd fade back into your mind…
As you'd be looking out ahead of you
Something needed
In your empty world I wish I could complete…

…the world, even when I've got you
So I try to hide the big chip on my shoulder
That only time will heal
[Verse 1: The Medic]
Yeah, been…
They goofing off everyday, I ain't cruising with them
Or maybe it's because I feel like none of them really get me
Lone wolf, I'mma…
…against the world, even when I've got you
So I try to hide the big chip on my shoulder
That only time will heal
[Verse 2…
By Young Fathers (2013)
On album TAPE ONE (2013)

Waiting to be rich, rip it to pieces
What do we sing now? Close to the deadline
No one remembers, shoulder to shoulder
We…
…get set and ready
Greater dey numbers
The colour of money, trigger the lightning
The kids in the bedroom, waiting…
…for harvest
Strong as a cutlass, guilty of nothing
Botched operation, witnessing something
Don't you turn my home against me
Even if my house is empty…

Cliffs of Dover
When I don't know what to do, baby
Why don't you see me through?
When I've been too long in the storm
Feel so sad…
…and forlorn
Perhaps I'm counting on you
To see me through
When I think of the Dear Rugged Cross
Where the Dear Saviour gave his all…
Feel like on our romance is gone
Baby, to see me through
See me through days of wine, wine and roses
Ooh, why don't you see me…

…[Chorus: Trapboy Freddy & Boosie Badazz]
I be standing in the kitchen, tryna whip a Bentley
[?] squeeze it till it's empty
Got…
…be standing in the kitchen, tryna whip a Bentley
[?] squeeze it till it's empty
Got the package, fuck this rapping, time to juug city
He [?] call…
…but got a lil older
Used to be broke, but my pockets got swoler
[?] chip on my shoulder
Word on the street, they say Yella got rocks…
By Suzi Rawn (2006)
On album Naked (2006)

Looking back to find what went wrong this time
We're falling to pieces, fall out of line
Fall into holes in empty times
I…
…will try to understand you
I will turn this all around
The world grows colder, I'm your shoulder
I will turn this all around
I can't find…
…myself
You were lost as well
We're falling to pieces, fall out of line
We fall into holes in empty times
I…

…(Hook)
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel on my shoulder
My shoulder
I got an angel with me
Shes here…
…was numb, now a man cause of all these fading scars
(Verse 1)
You and aunty gave me the greatest gift I could get
Food in my stomach…
…momma
I praise you on that day when you asked me
"Is the glass half full?"
I said It's half empty
But I want you…

…wave heights
Looking over your shoulder for lover's trigger man
Over your shoulder for your lover's trigger man
Nothing…
Constant companion for the long ride home
Constant companion for the long ride home
[Chorus]
Bring me the head
Beautiful empty code…
But she loves me
Bring me the head
Beautiful empty code
But she loves me
[Verse 2]
I want to walk outta here
Into real life…

…[Provost Vincent Price]
As Provost, I have the honor of introducing our speaker.
Now, unlike him, I don't rhyme…
In her story, I am not the angsty, shoulder-cracking tortured artist. I am the obstacle in the way of the real love story…
…at, guys? A way to ramp up the stakes of your story?” I resist the urge to crack my shoulder. We get through…

Old black and white movies on TV
Empty cans on the nightstand
Ashtray full of half smoked cigarettes
Picking out old songs…
…in the middle?
I can't do nothing when you're gone
This place couldn't be any colder
I need your head on my shoulder
My heart's been breaking…
…be any colder
I need your head on my shoulder
My heart's been breaking way too long
Come on baby give just a little
Why can't we…
