Can you answer Chantell L’s question about Addiction?:
I’m doing an english essay and i have to have three sets of lyrics about drug addiction that i can write about. It would be great if there were some from different points of view, like some one who wants to stop, a mother or friend watching whats happening or some one who likes the thrills and thinks it’s a good thing etc….Thanks if you can help me out

Addiction Feedback: Anak by freddie aguilar
here is the lyrics:
Nang isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw
At ang Nanay at Tatay mo’y
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo
At sa gabi’y napupuyat ang iyong Nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama’y kalong ka
Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo
Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo’y maging malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Naging matigas ang iyong ulo
At ang payo nila’y sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na
Ang kanilang ginagawa’y para sa iyo
Pagkat ang nais mo’y
Masunod ang layaw mo
Di mo sila pinapansin
Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo’y naligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong “anak ba’t ka nagkaganyan?”
At ang iyong mga mata’y biglang
Lumuha ng di mo napapansin
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo’y
Nalaman mong ika’y nagkamali

Addiction Feedback: You can also use return to oz by scissor sisters, it’s actually about what it’s supposed to feel like when you do crystal meth….ew
It’s a good song though
Once there was a man
who had a little too much
time on his hands.
He never stopped to think about getting older.
But when his night came to an end,
he tried to grasp for his last friend
and pretend that he could wish himself health on a 4-leaf clover.
He said: Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown
and the sky has claws.
There’s a wind-up man walking round and round.
What once was emerald city’s now a crystal town.
3 ‘o’ clock in the morning,
You get a phone call from the Queen
With a hundred heads
she says that they’re all dead.
She tried the last one on, it couldn’t speak, fell off
and now she just wanders the halls
thinkin’ nothing, thinkin’ nothing at all…
She says: Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown
and the sky has claws.
There’s a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was emerald city is now a crystal town.
The wheelie’s are cutting pavement
and the Skeksis at the rave meant to hide,
deep inside their sunken faces and their wild rolling eyes,
But their callus words reveal
that they can no longer feel
Love or sex appeal.
The patchwork girl has come to sinch the deal
To return to Oz, we fled the world with smiles and clenching jaws
Please help me friend from coming down
I’ve lost my place and now it can’t be found
Is this the return to Oz?
The grass is dead, the gold is brown
and the sky has claws.
There’s a wind-up man walking round and round
What once was emerald city is now a crystal town.
