Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you?
'Cause there's a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane, comes a rainbow
Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time you know
You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the Fourth of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "ah, ah, ah!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe, awe, awe
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

You think I'm pretty, without any make-up on
You think I'm funny, when I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me, so I let my walls come down
Down
Before you met me, I was alright
But things were kind of heavy, you brought me to life
Now every February, you'll be my Valentine
Valentine
Let's go all
The way tonight
No regrets
Just love
We can dance
Until we die
You and I
Will be young forever
You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali, and got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and, built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all
The way tonight
No regrets
Just love
We can dance
Until we die
You and I
Will be young forever
You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I'ma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me
Feel like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby, I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I'ma get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight

von .just.I_am. am 31.12.2010 09:06Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink flamingos in the pool
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbies on the barbecue
Is this a hickey or a bruise?
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure
It ruled
Damn
Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday night
Yeah we maxed our credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage à trois
Last Friday night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say we're gonna sto-op whoa
This Friday night
Do it all again
This Friday night
Do it all again
Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrant's out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure

You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch, I would know
And you over think
Always speak cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
We used to be
Just like twins, so in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh 'bout nothing
Now you're plain boring
I should know
That you're not gonna change
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bipolar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(You) You don't really wanna stay, no
(You) But you don't really wanna go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're downnn

Greetings loved ones
Let's take a journey.
I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water
Sippin' gin and juice
Laying underneath the palm trees (undone)
The boys break their necks
Try'na to creep a little sneak peek (at us)
You could travel the world,
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love
Oh oooh
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt your popsicle
Oooh oh oooh
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West Coast represent, now put your hands up
Oooh oh oooh
Sex on the beach
We don't mind sand in our stilettos
We freak in my Jeep
Snoop Doggy Dogg on the stereo
Oh oh
You could travel the world,
But nothing comes close to the golden coast
Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love
Oh oooh
California girls, we're unforgettable (California)
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt your popsicle (ooh)
Oooh oh oooh
California girls (California), we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West Coast represent (West Coast), now put your hands up
Oooh oh oooh
Toned, tan, fit and ready
Turn it up cause it's gettin' heavy
Wild wild West Coast
These are the girls I love the most
I mean the ones
I mean like she's the one
Kiss her, touch her, squeeze her buns (ah)
The girl's a freak
She drive a Jeep
And live on the beach
I'm okay, I won't play
I love the bay
Just like I love L.A.,
Venice Beach and Palm Springs
Summer time is everything
Homeboys banging out
All that ass hanging out
Bikinis, zucchinis, martinis, no weenies
Just a king and a queenie
Katy my lady (yeah)
You looking here baby (uh huh)
I'm all up on ya
Cause you representin' California (oh yeah)
California girls, we're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt your popsicle
Oooh oh oooh (c'mon, c'mon)
California girls, we're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce, we got it on lock
West Coast represent (West Coast, West Coast), now put your hands up
Oooh oh oooh (Ey, ey)
(California, California girls)
California girls, man
(California, California girls)
I really wish you all could be California girls

Re: Katy Perry
von .just.I_am. am 31.12.2010 09:14I Kissed a Girl
This was never the way I planned, not my intention.
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on.
I'm curious for you, caught my attention.
[Chorus:]
I kissed a girl and I liked it,
the taste of her cherry chapstick.
I kissed a girl just to try it,
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it.
It felt so wrong,
it felt so right.
Don't mean I'm in love tonight.
I kissed a girl and I liked it (I liked it).
No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter.
You're my experimental game, just human nature.
It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave.
My head gets so confused, hard to obey.
[Chorus]
Us girls we are so magical,
Soft skin, red lips, so kissable.
Hard to resist, so touchable.
Too good to deny it.
Ain't no big deal, it's innocent.
[Chorus]

Re: Katy Perry - Biografie
von .just.I_am. am 04.01.2011 13:19Das Phänomen Katy Perry, das 2008 über die Musikwelt herein bricht, polarisiert in den USA die Öffentlichkeit mit einem Skandal. Na, was war denn da schon wieder los? Eine Frau, die fröhlichen und topmodern klingenden Bubblegum-Pop macht, ist Gegenstand bizarrer Kontroversen?
Katy Perry versteht sich eben auf eine punktgenaue Inszenierung. Im November 2007 erscheint die Single "Ur So Gay", in dem sie ihren Ex-Freund in politisch vollkommen unkorrektem Slang aufzeigt, was für ein Jammerlappen ist. "Du bist so schwul und magst nicht mal Jungs", singt sie, was sofort einen entrüsteten Aufschrei im auf Correctness gedrillten Amerika nach sich zieht. Eine erste Duftmarke ist gesetzt, Katy ist im Gespräch.
Chartserfolge winken, als der nächste 'skandalöse' Teil ihrer Karriereplanung Anfang Mai 2008 auf dem Plan steht: Der hört auf den Namen "I Kissed A Girl" und bietet dem geneigten Hörer die Textzeilen "I kissed a girl and I liked it", was in konservativen klerikalen Zirkeln der USA für einen Aufschrei des Entsetzens sorgt. Schließlich zählen vor allem heranwachsende Damen zum Fankreis Katys.
Sogar kirchliche Kreise stören sich an Katys Wandlung, schließlich wähnte man sie noch Anfang des Jahrtausends als braves Schäflein in Gottes eigener Herde. Katy Perry, die als Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson am 25. Oktober 1984 das Licht der Welt erblickt, wächst nämlich als wohlbehütetes Kind im kalifornischen Santa Barbara als Pastorentochter heran. Zum Klischee gehört da natürlich der obligatorische Besuch des örtlichen Gospel-Chores.
Dass ihr von den Eltern Talent mit in die Wiege gelegt wurde, erkennen auch die Bosse des christlichen Labels Red Hill Records, die die junge Katy für ihre Firma unter Vertrag nehmen. Auf Red Hill erscheint 2001 das Album "Katy Hudson", auf dem sie einen soliden Poprock bietet, der von starken Frauen wie Sarah McLachlan und Fiona Apple beeinflusst ist, und breiten Anklang in der christlichen Musikszene findet.
Mit dem Release offenbart sich jedoch ein Dilemma, das für das Weiterkommen von Katy hinderlich sein könnte. So verwechseln sie bald viele mit Goldie Hawns berühmter Tochter. Um dem zu entgehen, trägt sie fortan den Geburtsnamen ihrer Mutter, nämlich Perry.
Der nächste Schritt in Richtung Ruhm führt sie mit dem Produzententeam The Matrix zusammen. Die Macher hinter Acts wie Avril Lavigne und Britney Spears stellen ihr den erfahrenen Songwriter Glen Ballard zur Seite, mit dem Alanis Morissette lange Jahre zusammengearbeitet hat und dessen Songs auf den Setlists der ganz großen Superstars stehen.
Erste Vorboten eines für 2005 angedachten Albums ("Diamonds" und "Box") tauchen auf Perrys MySpace-Seite auf, der Track "Simple" ist sogar auf dem Soundtrack für "Eine Für 4" zu hören, letztendlich erscheint die Scheibe jedoch nie.
Das Ende ihrer Musikerlaufbahn bedeutet das jedoch keineswegs, denn Jason Flom, seines Zeichens Chef von Virgin, findet Gefallen an Katys Musik und bietet ihr einen Deal an. Seine Firma macht schlielich Nägel mit Köpfen und werkelt mit Katy an einem Album.
Geschickte Platzierungen ihrer Songs in Werbespots und Cameo-Auftritte in Fernsehshows halten das Interesse an ihrer Person so lange hoch, bis sie schließlich mit dem erwähnten "I Kissed A Girl" die Billboard-Singlecharts von ganz oben betrachtet.
Bei all diesen professionell inszenierten Skandälchen und Stilisierungen besteht immer die Gefahr, dass die Künstlerin sich in Plastik und Glitter verliert, zur püppchenhaften Kunstfigur verkommt.
Frau Perry indes achtet stets darauf, das eigene handwerkliche Können zu präsentieren. Gerne tritt sie in Shows auf und performt die eigenen Songs stimmgewaltig zur akustischen Gitarre oder einem Piano.
Diese Vorliebe und Ambition unterstreicht die Amerikanerin 2009 mit einem umjubelten "MTV Unplugged"-Gig. Die zugehörige CD/DVD zeigt eine Musikerin, die dem Teenie-Pop-Konzept eigentlich entwachsen ist. Zarte Arrangementwechsel gen Swing oder Country hauchen den ehedem unbedeutenden Liedchen erstmals eigenes Leben ein.
Das gewonnene Profil sollte Perry das notwendige Selbstbewusstsein verleihen. Sie kann den Schritt in künstlerische Unabhängigkeit und eine erwachsene Musikszene vollziehen - wenn sie nur will.
