U2 – Sleep Like a Baby Tonight (Alternative Perspective Mix by Tchad Blake) Lyrics 11 years ago
Obviously a completely different version, but since they just do the automatic licensing thing for U2 and change any alternate version to the standard album version:

Wake
In the morning when you wake up
You won't have much, but you'll have enough
When you are weakest I'll be strong enough for you

Dream
Yeah, the ones where you are fearless
Can't break what's broken, you are tearless
Steal back your innocence, that's what they stole from you

You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
Not everything can be so black and white
There are demons in the broad daylight
But you can sleep like a baby tonight

Stop
Where you stand right now, just stop
Don't think or look down at the drop
People staring from the street
Don't know what you've got

You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
No, not everything can be so black and white
There are demons in the broad daylight
But you can sleep like a baby tonight

Hope
Hope is where the door is
When hope is where the war is
Where nobody can feel no one elses' pain

You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
Not everything can be so black and so white
There are demons in the broad daylight
You got to sleep like a baby tonight

Sleep like a baby tonight
Where you stand
Where you fall, is where I kneel
So take your heart back to where you can feel
Like a child
Child

U2 – The Troubles (Alternative Version) Lyrics 11 years ago
Since they just changed the lyrics back to the standard album version when I submitted or try and edit:

You think it’s easier
To get your fingers on the trouble
When the trouble is you
You think it’s easier
To keep your head out of trouble
When the trouble is you

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me then
And hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore

Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

You think it’s easier
To give up on the trouble
If the trouble is destroying you
You think it’s easier
To know your own tricks
Well, it's the hardest thing you'll ever do

I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me then
And hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore

Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

I stepped outside
Like I had never seen the night before
Looking at the stars
That never looked so bright before
This crooked heart
It never felt so light before
A brand new man
A brand new man
Yes, I am

Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody stopped the world I know
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody stopped the world I know
(I can't wait any longer)
Somebody throw a line to me
Somebody tell me what to say

The Airborne Toxic Event – Wishing Well (Acoustic Series) Lyrics 11 years ago
Since they changed the lyrics I submitted to the album version and won't let me edit them to reflect the lyrics of this version of the song because of some weird licensing thing that doesn't even really make sense (because this Alan Lawlor fellow most definitely did not write this song), I'll just put them in the comments.

Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
On the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat

And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin

You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train
And leave today
And it doesn't matter where
You spend the night
You just might end up somewhere
In a fight, in a fight
Or caught in your room
On a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone
With yourself, with yourself
And you just wanna feel
Like some coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well

A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were someone's wish
That could turn out well

So you stand on the corner
Where the angels sit
And you think to yourself
This is it, this is it,
This is all that I have
All I can stand
Is this air in my lungs
And this coin in my hand
That you tossed in the air
And I fell, and I fell
All the way to the bottom
Of the well, of the well
Like those soft little secrets
That you tell, that you tell
To yourself, when you think
No one's listening to, well

And the walls spin
And you're paper-thin
From the haze of the smoke
And the mescaline
The threat of your brow
Under unmade sheets
In your ear with the noise
From the darkest streets
Well, you ran far and wide
You screamed, you cried
You thought suicide was just an alibi
But you were always a mess
You were always aloof
Yeah it's awful, I guess
But it's the awful truth
It was truth from the first
To the last words she ever read

She emerged from the dark
Just like this ghost in my head
She said, I never forgot
One single word that you said
I just stare at these clocks
And I cry in my sleep
And I tear up your letters
And I burn them in heaps
And I gather the ashes
In that hole in the ground
Where we fell
