Yesterday on the radio I heard this song and loved it- I must have heard it before but it was the first time I really heard the lyrics. It is called “We Cry” by The Script.
Here are the lyrics- but definitely click the link above to get the full impact of the song.
Together we cry…
Together we cry…
Jenny was poor girl living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when he was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
Well she gets that call hope’s too far gone
Her baby’s on the way but nothing left inside
Together we cry!
What about the junk head could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal
Now he’s lighting up the wrong way
“something for the pain!”
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin’ unreal
When he gets that call he’s too far gone
To get it together to sing one song hey won’t hear tonight
The words of a lullaby
Together we cry…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together we cry…
Whoah oh whoah oh whoah
Together we cry…
Oh we cry we cry we cry
Together we cry.
Oh oh…
Oh…Mary’s ambitious she wanna to be a politician
She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she’d be the one to change the world
Always trying to pave the way for a woman in a… man’s world
Life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits tha jar,
Cheques that don’t go very far now
Now she in it can’t change it, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages!
Ohhh…
Together we cry
Together we cry
There’s so much sad wanna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from the world exploding
Together we cry.
Oh we cry
Oh we cry…
There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It’s hard to let your children go, leave home
Where they go?
Who knows!
Getting drunk
Getting stoned
All alone
Teach a man to fish
You’ll feed him never lie
You show your kids the truth hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they’ve gone to something better
“Bet your sorry now! I won’t be coming home tonight”
I’m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry
Together we cry…
Together we cry…
Waoooo
Yeahh…
So much sad wanna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from the world exploding
Together we cry…
Oh…
Yeah…
Together we cry, cry…
Together we cry
A while ago Sigsy asked her readers to recommend songs to download in the Itunes store as she was in a bit of a music hump…and I am going to ask you to do the same. Tell me your favourite songs or reccomend songs you think I should have on my ipod! I promise to download any that you mention that I don`t already have from the Itunes music store. If you want to know what I have been listening to later all you have to do is ask.
Also keep in mind that I really need some good hooping music as most of my collection is either really mellow or really rocky, and lets be honest, neither of those genres really lend the self well to hoop dance. So if you know of any good dance tracks be sure to let me know!
So everybody- recommend away!

I am just a twenty something Aussie girl living in Chiba, Japan with my Japanese husband trying to make sense of the crazy Japanese world we live in! We welcomed our first son in December 2009 (Noah) and a second son in January 2011, 2 months premature (Shion). I am working hard at raising them to be confident, bilingual, happy kids!
today feels like share the music day in bloglandia!
I’ll go check out this song!
Thanks for posting and come back to Tokyo soon!
Great song! Oh… together we cry.

Leila- Bloglandia- I like it! No music suggestions? Perhaps I should look into getting some Mika?!
Karen- Thanks for commenting! I would never have known you were there otherwise!
It is a good song- It was one I bought from the itunes store on the weekend!
Jessica- Yay! Some new songs! I have two on my ipod already (I kissed a girl and Umbrella!) but off to check out the others now! Thanks
Hey Lulu … this is Jess from FWC … Nice song, thanks for sharing it!
Do you like awesome guitar-based instrumental music? If so try anything from Explosions in the Sky, “Your Hand in Mine” is an especially pretty song. Let’s see, what else … how about “Pressure Drop” from Toots and the Maytals? I love it so much it’s my cell phone’s ringtone!
You should tell us what you’ve been listening to!
Most recently I’ve been listening to Ting Tings, Flight of the Conchords, Laura Marling, Kate Nash and over 4gb of Bjork songs keeping an ear out for wedding music ;o)
A bit late in commenting, but I was just singing along to myself as I was washing the dishes, and I thought I would share the song that popped into my head as well as 2 others to round off some classic Aussie music:
“Standing on the outside” by Cold Chisel, because anything by Cold Chisel is classic.
“The nips are getting bigger” by Mental as Anything, because this song always makes me laugh.
“Apartment” by Custard because they were a Brissie band and AWESOME.
sorry if it sounds like a playlist from FM104 haha!
Oh, and Flight of the Conchords are just hilarious. Are they on TV in Aus yet? I saw some shows on the internet a while ago.
