Bring your lips into my kiss tonight
My life depends on this here roll of dice
And when their gaze is straight
We're going to sneak behind
We'll catch the cold hard truth of being a crook

Thief, a rat, a no good rabble-rouser
Thief, a rat, a no good rabble-rouser
Thief, a rat, a no good rabble-rouser
Thief, a rat, a criminal

I thought you said I never could, well I did
I did it right in front of your face
So next time just remember
Never say never
Never say never again
Hands in the air it's a robbery
lucky if you make it alive
If any of you heroes wanna speak up
I suggest you do it now or forever hold your peace

Because I'm a dangerous man baby
(He's a dangerous man)

And if they ask you hold your tongue tonight
Don't tell them what I told ya
Don't tell them what I told ya
When their gaze is straight
We're gonna sneak behind
They'll catch the cold hard truth of being a crook
Hands in the air it's a robbery
lucky if you make it alive
and in the end just remember
Never say never
Never say never again

Cuz I'm a dangerous man
(He's a dangerous man)

(Ooh he's dangerous)

I thought you said I never could, well I did
I did it right in front of your face
So next time just remember
Never say never
Never say never again
Hands in the air it's a robbery
lucky if you make it alive
If any of you heroes wanna speak up
I suggest you do it now or forever hold your peace

Reach for the sky

    I've heard somewhere that this song about Robin Hood. Not sure how true it is, but one thing's for certain: this song is one of the coolest pieces of music I've ever heard.

    Yeah. Eric Nally has said before that it's supposed to be like the soundtrack or theme song to a Robin Hood movie (metaphorically speaking, of course). Still an amazing song and them being on tour with Tera Melos and The Fall Of Troy? Most amazing thing ever!

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Ed Sheeran
