  sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
  and it seems as though the writings on the wall,
  superstar you finally made it,
  but once your picture becomes tainted,
  it's what they call,
  the rise and fall (x2)
  
  i always said that i was gonna make it,
  now it's plain for everyone to see,
  but this game i'm in don't take no prisoners,
  just casualties,
  i know that everything is gonna change,
  even the friends i knew before may go,
  but this dream is the life i've been searching for,
  started believing that i was the greatest,
  my life was never gonna be the same,
  cause with the money came a different status,
  that's when things change,
  now i'm too concerned with all the things i own,
  blinded by all the pretty girls i see,
  i'm beginning to lose my integrity

  i never used to be a troublemaker,
  now i don't even wanna please the fans,
  no autographs,
  no interviews,
  no pictures,
  endless demands,
  gave in to vices that was clearly wrong,
  the type that seemed to make me feel so right,
  but some things you may find can take over your life,
  burnt all my bridges now i've run out of places,
  and there's nowhere left for me to turn,
  been caught in compromising situations,
  i should have learned
  from all those times i didn't walk away,
  when i knew that it was best to go,
  is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,

  now i know,
  i made mistakes,
  think i don't care,
  but you don't realise what this means to me,
  so let me have,
  just one more chance,
  i'm not the man i used to be,
  used to beeeeeeeeeee

• craig david ft. sting dueti
  
  özellikle gece dinlenmek icin yapilmis parcalardan.
  ayrica yaslandiginizi hissettirebilir.
• hatırlıyorum da, ilk defa metro fm de dinlemiş ve ilk dinleyişimde aşık olmuştum bu şarkıya. o sıralar yeni yeni ingilizce öğreniyordum. ne dendiğini yarım yamalak anlıyordum falan... ama beni yakalamıştı işte... sonra, bir arkadaşımdan istedim ben bu şarkıyı. gönderdi saolsun. defalarca, defalarca dinledim. her dinleyişte aynı zevki aldım. sözlerini ezberledim, kendi kendime söylemeye çalışıp beceremedim. lisede kullandığım her defterin, okuduğum her kitabın bir köşesinde mutlaka "sometimes in life you feel the fight is over" yazar.
  
  rise&fall benim lise hayatımın soundtrak'idir. hala her dinleyişimde okulun duvarına oturup yolu seyrettiğim, ona buna laf attığım günler aklıma gelir. bir only god can judge me, bir sorry seems to be the hardest word gibi benim playlistlerimin olmazsa olmazlarındandır.
• sting vokalinin bir şarkıyı ne kadar değiştirdiğinin kanıtı.^*
• shape of my heart'a asla tercih edilmeyecek şarkı.
• iki buyuk yorumcunun mukemmel yorumu sonucu son zamanlarda ortaya cikan muzik eseri, insanin tekrar tekrar dinleyisi geliyor bazen bu duygu hic gitmiyor.
• craig david'in bol bol meelediği şarkıdır. atladım zıpladım düştüm kuzu gibi koyun gibi...
• melodik power metal klasiklerindendir. iyidir candır.
• bugun dinledigimde yaslandigimi hissettigim sarki olmustur, kac yil gecmis ilk dinledigimden bu yana sting icin hala dinlenir
• helloween'nin "keeper of the seven keys part 2" albümünde yer alan 4:20 süreye sahip mükemmel parça.
  
  rise and fall
  
  once a singer sang 'bout bullshit
  everyone could see him fall
  and be sure it's been his last hit
  he's never been seen at all
  
  some dictator felt progressive
  and lay down in the sun
  but his people were aggressive
  they killed him with a gun
  
  sometimes you're wrong
  by some things you have done
  you see fate is too strong
  nothing's won
  no use for a fight
  if you're not acting right
  you'll be cut down to size
  like a lie
  
  it's the rise and fall
  the prize for all
  that ain't nice at all
  luck is like a ball
  you can't recall or care at all
  so better use your brain
  
  a little dragon could spit fire
  but never so for something bad
  he didn't know the knight's desire
  to throw a lance into his head
  
  romeo loved his juliet
  their parents told them "stop"
  then it all turned out peculiar
  he couldn't get it up
  
  and it's all in vain
  when you're living with pain
  reap not goods you have grown
  by your own
  feelings you like
  disappear overnight
  you sip up every grin
  free to win
  
  it's the rise and fall
  the prize for all
  that ain't nice at all
  luck is like a ball
  you can't recall or care at all
  you nearly go insane
  
  a spaceman flies the rocket
  that takes him to the stars
  thinks his wife is in his pocket
  but she's strolling 'round in bars
  
  the king of los angeles
  bought himself a teddy bear
  and the queen became shameless
  she did it with a chair
  
  sometimes you're wrong
  by some things you have done
  you see fate is too strong
  nothing's won
  no use for a fight
  if you're not acting right
  you'll be cut down to size
  like a lie
  
  it's the rise and fall
  the prize for all
  that ain't nice at all
  luck is like a ball
  you can't recall or care at all
  so better use your brain
