better days

• (bkz: bitter end)
• tq şarkısı...
  
  in the morning when i wake up i think about
  all the crazy things that we've been through
  and my mama she told me there were gonna be days like this
  and i guarantee she was tellin' the truth
  when i close my eyes i see eazy
  no more thuggin' just love everyday
  in the heavens above with its dj
  listening to music that i just made hey
  
  (chorus)
  just wanna sing a little something for the
  people that done passed away
  now tell me can you feel it - when you're
  livin in better days
  and i pray to god i hope he's listening if we
  try that we could one day be
  for one time in your mind everything is alright
  but until it happens i'll be on my knees praying
  for a better way
  
  and my background say...
  every once and a while i remember that i miss
  my grand daddy
  all the little things we sat and talked about - i wish you
  can see me now
  from the side of my bed with my head down
  to outside with my homies tippin gin now
  seems like i gotta whole lotta friends now
  so let me tell you what i'm talking about
  and now that i've got my mind made up
  aint got no time to wait up
  so i'm a keep givin you wait up
  if you ever should think i aint true to that
  in "my peoples if you wit me where you at"
  we brought y'all back!
  
  (chorus - 2x)

• kaybedenler ozanı bruce springsteen'den arada çıkan umut şarkılarından biri. patron thunder road’dan mary seslenirmiş edasında sevdiği kadına güzel günlerin geldiğini haykırıyor.
  sözleri ise şöyle
  
  well my soul checked out missing as i sat listening
  to the hours and minutes tickin’ away
  yeah, just sittin’ around waitin’ for my life to begin
  while it was all just slippin’ away.
  i’m tired of waitin’ for tomorrow to come
  or that train to come roarin’ ’round the bend.
  i got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
  and a woman i can call my friend
  
  these are better days baby
  yeah there’s better days shining through
  these are better days baby
  better days with a girl like you
  
  well i took a piss at fortune’s sweet kiss
  it’s like eatin’ caviar and dirt
  it’s a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
  a rich man in a poor man’s shirt
  now my ass was draggin’ when from a passin’ gypsy wagon
  your heart like a diamond shone
  tonight i’m layin’ in your arms carvin’ lucky charms
  out of these heard luck bones
  
  these are better days baby
  these are better days it’s true
  these are better days
  there’s better days shining through
  
  now a life of leisure and a pirate’s treasure
  don’t make much for tragedy
  but it’s a sad man my friend who’s livin’ in his own skin
  and can’t stand the company
  every fool’s got a reason to feelin’ sorry for himself
  and turn his heart to stone
  tonight this fool’s halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
  and i feel like i’m comin’ home
  
  these are better days baby
  there’s better days shining through
  these are better days
  better days with a girl like you
  
  these are better days baby
  these are better days it’s true
  these are better days
  better days are shining through
• depeche mode şarkisi olan halinin sozleri.
  
  what are you hiding from?
  you are part of the sun
  what has been going on?
  your confidence is gone
  
  you have seen better days
  you have lived better ways
  
  what are you waiting for?
  answers that question more
  uninvited they will come
  are you expecting some?
  
  you have seen better days
  you have lived better ways
  
  only time will tell
  what will come of you
  only crime could sell
  what you're trying to
  
  where are you heading to?
  what plans will you pull through?
  with trouble in the wings
  will you risk anything?
  
  you have seen better days
  you have lived better ways
• goo goo dolls'un let love in albümünden güzel bir parça.
  
  and you ask me what i want this year
  and i try to make this kind and clear
  just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
  cuz i don't need boxes wrapped in strings
  and desire and love and empty things
  just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
  
  so take these words
  and sing out loud
  cuz everyone is forgiven now
  cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
  
  and it's someplace simple where we could live
  and something only you can give
  and thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
  and the one poor child that saved this world
  and there's 10 million more who probably could
  if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
  
  so take these words
  and sing out loud
  cuz everyone is forgiven now
  cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
  
  i wish everyone was loved tonight
  and somehow stop this endless fight
  just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
  
  so take these words
  and sing out loud
  cuz everyone is forgiven now
  cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
  cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

• the dirges imzalı haydi gel içelim temalı pek keyifli şarkı.
  
  you, my friend, must realize
  the time we have won't last
  you can't erase the past
  lord knows i've tried
  there are times i've been weighed down
  black and blue inside me
  old wounds still residing
  beneath my skin
  
  so let's raise a glass
  to better days
  forget the past
  and our wicked ways
  just let me sing
  this one last song
  and make this feeling last
  all night long
  
  a fresh start is what you need
  so let's begin again
  i will be your friend
  from this day on
  you can rely upon me
  if you ever need to
  i will help you get through
  and find your way
  
  so let's raise a glass
  to better days
  forget the past
  and our wicked ways
  let's sing together
  this one last song
  and make this feelin' last
  all night long
  
  forgive yourself
  know all is well
  dust yourself off
  and tell your blues
  to go to hell
  
  so let's raise a glass
  to better days
  forget the past
  and our wicked ways
  let me just sing
  this one last song
  and make this feeling last
  all night long
