Because a lot of of us are music junkies (at least, I am), I'm adding a thread for song lyrics and stuff. Hope no one minds! Have fun with it! :)

This song was written about John Lennon's death, but it seems kind of Jonathanish to me.

Empty Garden - Elton John/Bernie Taupin

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk, nothing grows no more
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one no one can replace

And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh, and I've been calling, oh hey, hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play

And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
Who lived there
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name

Johnny, can't you come out to play in your empty garden

Not Following You

If I'm catching your eye It was an accident If I looked at you strange Its not what I meant I wanted to touch You're occupied I tried to explain but I'm tongue tied I'll wait in the wings again Until you find me out What is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo I'm not following you Ooo oo oo oo Walking this way too Ooo oo oo oo I've had enough of dreaming All my dreams are you

If I sat next to you That wasn't my intent And if my hand falls on yours It was coincidence I'll stay in the room until you're gone I'll switch to the chair that you sat on I'll sit there alone again Until you find me out What is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo I'm not following you Ooo oo oo oo Walking this way too Ooo oo oo oo See I've had enough of dreaming All my dreams are you

I wish you would notice me If not now, eventually Then I wouldn't have to follow you around And hunt you down H-h-hunt you down Hunt you down

Promise we'll get along If you talk to me We'll tell each other our stories imperfectly Imperfectly I wanted to touch You're occupied I tried to explain but I'm tongue tied I'll wait in the wings again Until you find me out See what is the hold up

Ooo oo oo oo I'm not following you Ooo oo oo oo Walking this way too Ooo oo oo oo I've had enough of dreaming All my dreams are you

Bee

Cause I'm free as a bee flying over the trees
And all the summertime boys
All looking at me
And the world keeps on buzzing the sound of my heart
Going hmm hmm hmm
And this is only the start

Did you ever want something so bad
You could feel it to the end of the fingertips
Theyre reaching out for something to grab
And someone smacks your hand
And it becomes so hard to see
The end of the line

But I'm free as a bee flying over the trees
And all the summertime boys all looking at me
And the world keeps on buzzing to the sound of my heart
Going hmm hmm hmm
And this is only the start

I feel like a little kid again
No worries for me to understand
Fall in love each night and then
Waking up with the feeling that I cant
Describe I love this life
It just gets better

But I'm free as a bee and flying over the trees
And all the summertime boys all looking at me
But the world keeps on buzzing to the sound of my heart
Going hmm hmm hmm
And this is only the start

Crash and Burn (For Gwen)

When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone

When you feel all alone And a loyal friend is hard to find You're caught in a one way street With the monsters in your head When hopes and dreams are far away and You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain And when it's over you'll breathe again You'll breath again

When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone

Dr Greenthumb Granger

This is a lot of the original inspiration for Gigi (or for at the very least my username):

Dr. Greenthumb by Cypress Hill

Hello, I'm Dr. Greenthumb Have you ever had the problem of running out of weed and just can't find some anywhere" Well try my Dr. Greenthumb grow tips I'll show you how to grow inside and out From seed to clone, and the best homegrown And if you're afraid of those pesky pork choppers in the sky No worries, we'll fix them too with one of our Dr. Greenthumb 'Sizzlean' screens to block the nosy pig's vision Don't believe me" Just ask one of my many satisfied clients here Jed Sanders how well it works

Hyuh, hyuh, hello my name is Jaid And I'm a farmer and I've been growing Mary-jah-wana fer about twenty years and uhh uhh, with Dr. Greenthumb's 'Sizzlean' screen I don't have to point my shotgun at them pesky porkers no more Thanks Dr. Green, you're the shit

Yes, Dr. Greenthumb's got it all, I guarantee it Try my book and you'll have the chronic in no time Dial 1-800-713-GROW That's 1-800 (cough cough) (inhale) 713 (cough cough) G (inhale) R (inhale) O-W

"Hello Dr. Greenthumb, paging Dr. Greenthumb!"

Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb I'd like to tell you just where I'm from In the hills where the trees grow wild with weed fields The fucking pigs with shields holding the blue steels Greenhouse effect with the weed connect (Doctor) DEA can't keep Greenthumb in check (Doctor!) HPS, God Bless the whole crop Please God, don't let me see no cops Trunkload, ready to hit the highway Don't let the eye in the sky fly my way or we gonna have big trouble, that's no shit Can't be growing without no permit but fuck that, I study the 215 trip That way when they come they can suck my dick Weed can't grow without attention Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb



Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb! I'd like to tell you just where I'm from Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb! I'd like to tell you just where I'm from Aiyyo Dr. Greenthumb, come on back one time!

People can't live without the herb man If not they'd be drinking and driving and swerving but thanks to Dr. Greenthumb weed grow in the backyard or inside with hydro To the cush plant brushing a tangerine dream Tasty, blowing a fucking smokescreen Cycles of weed are constantly grown Somebody give me the razor to cut groves I'd like to stop, but it feels so good Horny plants stinking up my whole neighborhood Sticky angel, I wanna leave it alone but never ever ever gotta worry from my home What that funny sound knocking at the door (Open up it's the DEA!) Sorry Greenthumb can't talk no more Please don't follow me into the sun Hello my name is Dr. Greenthumb



Out from the lab, no need for rehab If I can't drive then call me a cab (taxi!) In my closet the weed is dried out Like Eiht said, ain't no place to hide out I don't wanna buy no weed from no cop Get knocked up and they close up my shop That's why I buy no weed from no one That's why they call me Dr. Greenthumb The scientifical, mystical one Growing my crops with the rays of the sun Come one come all and see how it's done If you see the pigs there's no need to run Cause some of these pigs are down with Greenthumb But you never know what be the outcome You see the photo in the album The weed is growing like my erection Look I never told you where I was from Some call me Real, but I'm Dr. Greenthumb



Dr. Greenthumb Doctor, your Bulova plant needs special tending to Doctor, we need more oxygen we need more CO2 Doctor, Dr. Greenthumb you're needed Doctor, dahyahahahhh....Doctor

Clocks - Coldplay

Lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
You've put me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead (singing)
Come out of things unsaid, shoot an apple of my head (and a)
Trouble that can't be named, tigers waiting to be tamed (singing)
You are, you are

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

You are
And nothing else compares
Oh no nothing else compares
And nothing else compares

You are
Home, home, where I wanted to go

Correy's song

Liar (It Takes One to Know One) - Taking Back Sunday

All our secrets they are tailored trouble Draped loose now around your hips Your spotless instincts are valid We coexist Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days) We got 26 days to work with (it moves, it moves, it moves) We'll see what all gets done

I'm an addict for dramatics I confuse the two for love "You can tell me that you don't beg..."

Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant) Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant)

Got 26 days to work with (got 26 days) Then back on that island That you swear by Still barely can't afford It's still a question of How long will this hold" Is it any different now that we are Don't you go there not here, not now (it moves, it moves, it moves) Not here, not now

I'm an addict for dramatics I confuse the two for love You can tell me don't beg

Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant) Liar (liar) If we're keeping score Were all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant)

We're all choir boys at best

Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant) Liar (liar) If we're keeping score We're all choir boys at best (Intrusive and arrogant) Liar (liar) Liar (liar) It takes one to know one

Beautiful Disaster - Kelly Clarkson

He drowns in his dreams An exquisite extreme I know He's as damned as he seems And more heaven than a heart could hold And if I try to save him My whole world could cave in It just ain't right It just ain't right

Oh and I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful" Or just a beautiful disaster

He's magic and myth As strong as what I believe A tragedy with More damage than a soul should see And do I try to change him" So hard not to blame him Hold on tight Hold on tight

Oh 'cause I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful" Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical But he's only happy hysterical I'm waiting for some kind of miracle Waited so long So long

He's soft to the touch But frayed at the end he breaks He's never enough And still he's more than I can take

Oh, and I don't know I don't know what he's after But he's so beautiful Such a beautiful disaster And if I could hold on Through the tears and the laughter Would it be beautiful? Or just a beautiful disaster

He's beautiful Such a beautiful disaster

Beauty and the Tragedy - Trading Yesterday

Watch your step, love is broken I am every tear you cry Save your breath, your heart has spoken You already have my life

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me Taking the dreams that made me up And tearing them away But the same love will take this heart that's barely beating And fill it with hope beyond the stars Only love

Another day, another sunrise Washing over everything In its time, love will be mine The beauty and the tragedy

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me Taking the dreams that made me up And tearing them away But the same love will take this heart that's barely beating And fill it with hope beyond the stars Only love Only love, love, love

For I am finding out that love will kill and save me

All I Want For Christmas - Olivia Olsen

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There's just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas
Is you...

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need
Won't you please bring my baby to me

I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see baby
Standing right outside my door
I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You
and you and you and you and you

All I want for Christmas is you

I'm totally addicted to this band, so here's another one for Jon...

Revolution - Trading Yesterday

Open up my eyes To dreams that should have died I was made for more than this

Take away my name For I will never be the same I have not begun to live

For Eden's sons engulf my eyes Bringing my heart to life

I will be a revolution Be a voice beyond these lies If it takes my life And I will not be lost in silence I will not let darkness hide This hope beyond my sight The revolution

A criminal's reward Is all that I lived for Until these broken years were healed

The shadows of a shattered life Only returns to light

And I will be a revolution Be a voice beyond these lies If it takes my life And I will not be lost in silence I will not let darkness hide This hope beyond my sight The revolution

For every lie I believed Brought me to Him For I have been set free To live again (The shadows of a shattered life only returns to die)

And I will be a revolution Be a voice beyond these lies If it takes my life And I will not be lost in silence I will not let darkness hide This hope beyond my sight The reason for my life The revolution

Using every single breath Crying out for hope...

The Revolution

If you'll be my source of strength All I'm living for

For I have been set free To live again

That, by Zazie

We forget adresses Like we forget the ones who hurt us We forget constantly Birthdays and our keys, marks, we lose them We'll forget the chains of our lives that drag behind We forget anyhow But there's one thing we'll be loyal to

The eyes, the voice, the hands, the words of love, it will still be there, The day and the time, the skin, the smell, the love will still be there, It's still strong It's dead, okay But it won't be forgotten Won't be forgotten, that We don't forget

I'll forget that august when I had to go along without you, Without a doubt I'll forget my defeat and the dream that stops Maybe I'll forget But I still think about it sometimes, and I cannot explain It's inexplicable

Your eyes, your voice, your hands touching me, that will be always there, The day and the time, your skin, the smell, the love will still be there, It's still strong It's dead, okay But it won't be forgotten Won't be forgotten, that I don't forget

The eyes, the voice, your hands touching me, the words of love, it will still be there, The day and the time, the skin, the smell, the love, it's there We don't forget

The eyes, the voice, your hands touching me, the words of love It will stay there We don't forget It won't be forgotten

The day and the time, the skin, the smell, the love is there We don't forget It won't be forgotten

The eyes, the voice, your hands touching me, the words of love It will stay there We don't forget I will not forget you

The day and the time, the skin, the smell, the love, it's there We don't forget I will never forget you

Never Ever - All Saints

A few questions that I need to know
How you could ever hurt me so
I need to know what I've done wrong
And how long it's been going on
Was it that I never paid enough attention"
Or did I not give enough affection'
Not only will your answers keep me sane
but I'll know never to make the same mistake again

You can tell me to my face or even on the phone
You can write it in a letter; either way, I have to know
Did I never treat you right' Did I always start the fight"
Either way, I'm going out of my mind
All the answers to my questions I have to find

My head's spinning
Boy, I'm in a daze
I feel isolated
Don't wanna communicate
I'll take a shower, I will scour
I will roam
To find peace of mind
The happy mind I once owned, yeah

Vexing vocabulary runs right through me
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong, no
I'm just waiting
'Cause I heard this feeling won't last that long

Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole"
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind
I've Never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel righ

I'll keep searching
Deep within my soul
For all the answers
Don't wanna hurt no more
I need peace, got to feel at ease
Need to be
Free from pain - going insane
My heart aches, yeah

Sometimes vocabulary runs right through my head
The alphabet runs right from A to Z
Conversations, hesitations in my mind
You got my conscience asking questions that I can't find
I'm not crazy
I'm sure I ain't done nothing wrong
I'm just waiting
'Cause I heard this feeling won't last that long

Never ever have I ever felt so low
When ya gonna take me out of this black hole"
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad
Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind
I've Never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right 

You can tell me to my face,
You can tell me on the phone,
Uh, You can write it in a letter, babe
'Cause I really need to know
You can write it in a letter, babe

Rush, Rush by Paula Abdul

You're the whisper of a
Summer breeze
You're the kiss that puts my
Soul at ease
What I'm saying is I'm
In to you
Here's my story and the
Story goes
You give love, you get love
And more than
Heaven knows
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Oh baby, baby please

Chorus:
Rush, rush
Hurry, hurry lover
Come to me
Rush, rush
I wanna see, I wanna see ya
Get free with me
Rush, rush
I can feel it, I can feel you
All through me
Rush, rush
Ooh what you do to me

And all I want from you is
What you are
And even if you're right
Next to me
You're still too far away
If I'm not inside your arms
I get dramatic baby,
Yes I know
But I need you, I want you
Ooh man, I love you so
Ooh, ooh
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run, I'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Ooh baby, baby please

Chorus

When you kiss me
Up and down
Turn my senses all around
Oh baby, oh baby
I don't know
Just how or why
But no one else
Has touched me
So deep, so deep
So deep inside
You're gonna see
I'm gonna run
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna take this love
Right to ya
All my heart, all the joy
Oh baby baby please

Heal Over - KT Tunstall

It isn't very difficult to see why You are the way you are Doesn't take a genius to realise That sometimes life is hard It's gonna take time But you'll just have to wait You're gonna be fine But in the meantime

Come over here, lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer, baby Coz you'll heal over Heal over Heal over someday

And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself That these feelings are in the past You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf Because pain is built to last Everybody sails alone But we can travel side by side Even if you fail You know that no one really minds

Come over here, lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer, baby Coz you'll heal over Heal over Heal over someday

Don't hold on but don't let go I know it's so hard You've got to try to trust yourself I know it's so hard, so hard

Come over here, lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer, baby Coz you'll heal over, heal over, heal over someday

Dreamer - Supertramp

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said, "Far out. What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know....Well, you know you had it comin' to you
Now there's not a lot I can do.

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer,
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said, "Far out. What a day, a year, a laugh it is!"
You know....Well, you know you had it comin' to you,
Now there's not a lot I can do.

We'll work it out someday.

If I could see something
You can see anything you want, boy
If I could be someone
You can be anyone. Celebrate, boy
If I could do something
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything
Well, can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a Sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along.

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you're nothing but a dreamer
Well, can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
Oh, no!

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

And now I'm walking in a park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
Oh, yeah I'm never really ready, Oh, yeah, I'm never really ready
I'm in repair, I'm not together but I'm getting there
I'm in repair, I'm not together but I'm getting there

I'm in repair, I'm not together but I'm getting there

Fallen - Sarah McLachlan

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen....
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so....

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear

I've fallen....
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so....

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh, they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen....
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Aint No Reason - Brett Dennen

There ain't no reason things are this way. Its how they always been and they intend to stay. I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday. Preachers on the podium speakin" of saints in seance, Prophets on the sidewalk beggin" for change, Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name. I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same, A window and a pigeon with a broken wing, You can spend your whole life workin" for something Just to have it taken away. People walk around pushing back their debts, Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets, Talking "bout nothing, not thinking "bout death, Every little heartbeat, every little breath. People walk a tight rope on a razors edge Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons. It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen Or a thought or a word or a sentence.

There Ain't no reason things are this way. It's how they always been and they intend to stay I don't know why I say the things I say, but I say them anyway. But love will come set me free Love will come set me free,I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall, Some things never change at all. Keep on buildin" prisons, gonna fill them all, Keep on buildin" bombs, gonna drop them all. Working your fingers bear to the bone, Breaking your back, make you sell your soul. Like a lung that's filled with coal, suffocatin? slow. The wind blows wild and I may move, The politicians lie and I am not fooled. You don't need no reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth. The air on my skin and the world under my toes, Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes, Chaos and commotion wherever I go, love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free Love will come set me free, I do believe Love will come set me free, I know it will Love will come set me free, yes.

There ain't no reason things are this way It's how they always been and they intend to stay I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.

I Can't Make Me Love You - Butterfly Boucher (masquerading as one of Kaylee's songs)

All the things I want to say but I can't All the things I want to do but I won't Hold me tight Not too tight I'm in knots and you tie me in bows I feel pretty; I know that you care You're so sweet You're so so sweet

It's not a hurry that we're in It's the pollen It's the spring

I can't make me love you And you can't make me either Patience, boy, I need it I can't make me love you

Oh oh oh

Paper pen and a piece of your heart I can read it but where do I start" What to do What do I do? An I am going but I'm gonna come back And maybe then this maybe that Hold me tight Not too tight

It's not a hurry that were in There's no problem That's the thing!

But I can't make me love you And you can't make me either Patience, boy, I need it I can't make me love you

Everyday there's something new to hold onto to A little more of you

I can't make me love you And you can't make me either Patience, boy, I need it I can't make me love you Patience, boy, on strange days I can't make me love you

Unbroken - Missy Higgins
(Also pretending to be one of Kaylee's songs)

Red hand print on the white of your cheek
Pack your bags quiet, while the lion sleeps
Watch your mother put her name to the line
Next to the place where your father signed

And inevitably, what you used to be will
Suc***b to the pull of gravity
And you will never
No, you will never see with virgin eyes again

'Cos this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
You know in time you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

Hold the answer to the light to see your future
Two line, blue line tragedy
He brings the medal to the fire for the first time
Tells you it's the last time and it will be

'Cos inevitably, what you used to be will be
Tainted by the hand of curiosity
And you will never
No, you will never see with virgin eyes again

'Cos this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
You know in time you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

So how can I explain the isolated rain that follows you?
But wouldn't you agree running always slows you down
So welcome the pain
And stop yourself from delaying it
'Cos the real life will never go away

'Cos this is the day that everything changes
And your world stops turning
Running straight into the brake lights
You've come to nothing
This is the day that everything changes
And your worlds collide
You know in time you'll wake to find you're
A little unbroken

Oh, you're a little unbroken
Oh, a little unbroken, yeah,
You're, oh, a little unbroken

Desperado - The Eagles

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses"
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time"
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away'

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Goodbye - Natalie Imbruglia

Everyday's the same I feel them merge I try to separate Resist the urge But they tell me I'll be fine That it will all get better Just try to write it down Or put it in a letter But the words won't play And there's no easy way to say Goodbye, goodbye

Keep my head on straight And don't look down With all I've pushed away I'm losing ground But they tell me I'll be fine That it will all get better Just try to write it down Or put it in a letter But the words won't play And there's no easy way to say Goodbye, goodbye

And from the sidelines Watch me fall down

And I don't understand The things I do But I'll probably be fine As long as I keep moving I'll try to write it down So things just keep improving

Still the words won't play 'Cause there's no easy way to say Goodbye, goodbye

The Grand Illusion - Styx

Welcome to the Grand Illusion Come on in and see what?s happening Pay the price, get your tickets for the show The stage is set, the band starts playing Suddenly your heart is pounding Wishing secretly you were a star

Don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazines They show you photographs of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasy

So if you think your life is complete confusion Because you never win the game Just remember that it's a Grand Illusion And deep inside we're all the same All the same

So if you think your life is complete confusion Because your neighbors got it made Just remember that it's a Grand Illusion And deep inside we're all the same

America spells competition Join us in our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car Someday soon we'll stop to ponder What on Earth's this spell we're under We made the grade and still we wonder who the hell we are

Learning to Fly - Tom Petty

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Love is the Drug - Roxy Music

T'ain't no big thing to wait for the bell to ring T'ain't no big thing, the toll of the bell

Aggravated spare for days I troll downtown the red light place Jump up, bubble up, what?s in store Love is the drug and I need to score

Showing out, showing out, hit and run Boy meets girl where the beat goes on Stitched up tight, can't shake free Love is the drug got a hook on me

Oh, catch that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh, can't you see Love is the drug for me

Late at night I parked my car Staked my place in the singles bar Face to face, toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor

Lumbered up, limbo down The locked embrace, stumble round I say go, she say yes Dim the lights, you can guess the rest

Oh, catch that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh, can't you see Love is the drug got a hook in me

Oh, catch that buzz Love is the drug I'm thinking of Oh, can't you see Love is the drug for me

Oh, love is, love is, love is the drug

Tears for Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love

High time we made a stand & shook up the views of the common man
And the love train rides from coast to coast
DJ's the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean
And smash any hope of democracy
As the headline says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call in the ruse, yeah

(Sowing the seeds of love) anything is possible
(Seeds of love) when you're sowing the seeds of love
(Sowing the seeds of love)
(Sowing the seeds of love) anything is possible
(Seeds of love) sowing the seeds of love (Sowing the seeds)

I spy tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste, so nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician Granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam

(Sowing the seeds of love) anything (seeds of love)
(Sowing the seeds of love) (Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love)
Sowing the seeds, the birds and the bees, my girlfriend and me in love

Feel the pain, talk about it, if you're a worried man then shout about it
Open hearts, feel about it, open minds, think about it
Everyone read about it, everyone scream about it
Everyone (everyone, yeah yeah)
Everyone (everyone) read about it, read about it
Read it in the books in the crannies
And the nooks there are books to read...

(Sowing the seeds of love) Oh, the seeds of love
We're sowing the seeds, sowing the seeds

We're sowing the seeds of love. we're sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds of love
(Mr. England sowing the seeds of love)

(Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes)
Time to eat all your words, swallow your pride, open your eyes
High time we made a stand (time to eat all your words)
And shook up the views of the common man (swallow your pride)
And the love train rides from coast to coast (open your eyes)
Every minute of every hour "I Love a Sunflower" (open your eyes)
And I believe in love power (open your eyes)
Love power, love (open your eyes) power

(Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love?Sowing the seeds of love)
(Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love)
We're sowing the seeds (sowing the seeds of love)
Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds (seeds of love)
Sowing the seeds, an end to need, and the politics of greed with love
(Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds of love)
(Sowing the seeds of love) anything (seeds of love) anything
(Sowing the seeds of love, Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love)
(Sowing the seeds, an end to need, and the politics of greed with love)
(Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds of love)

Long Nights
Eddie Vedder

Have no fear
For when I'm alone
I'll be better off than I was before

I've got this light
I'll be around to grow
Who I was before
I cannot recall

Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground
Ah...
I'll take this soul that's inside me now
Like a brand new friend
I'll forever know

I've got this light
And the will to show
I will always be better than before

Long nights allow me to feel...
I'm falling...I am falling
The lights go out
Let me feel
I'm falling
I am falling safely to the ground

Howard Jones - Life In One Day

The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song

Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

CHORUS:
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
Don't try to live your life in one day
Don't go speed your time away
The old man said to me
Said you can't change the world single handedly
Raise a glass enjoy the scenery
Pretend the water is champagne
And fill my glass again and again
While the wolves are gathering round your door
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

CHORUS

The old man said to me
Said don't always take life so seriously
Play the flute
And dance and sing your song

Try and enjoy the here and now
The future will take care of itself somehow
The grass is never greener over there
Time will wear away the stone
Gets the hereditary bone

I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

I bit off more than I can chew
Only so much you can do

Wolves are gathering round my door
Ask them in and invite some more

I tried to live my life in one day
Don't go speed your time away

Don't try to live your life in one day

Howard Jones - No One is to Blame

You can look at the menu, but you just can't eat You can feel the cushion, but you can't have a seat You can dip your foot in the pool, but you can't have a swim You can feel the punishment, but you can't commit the sin And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame You can build a mansion, but you just can't live in it You're the fastest runner but you're not allowed to win Some break the rules, and live to count the cost The insecurity is the thing that won't get lost And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her, and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame

You can see the summit but you can't reach it Its the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit Doctor says you're cured but you still feel the pain Aspirations in the clouds but your hopes go down the drain And you want her, and she wants you We want everyone And you want her, and she wants you No one, no one, no one ever is to blame No one ever is to blame No one ever is to blame

Reason to Be - Kansas

So long, someone is waiting I got places to go, I got things to see No more procrastinating For this is the moment that was meant for me And I'm moving like a wave on the ocean Drifting to the opposite ride Traveling with no destination Just riding the tide

People they say that I'm foolish They say that I'm living in a fantasy I say, everything's easy It's better than living in futility So, I'm standing here in back of the curtain Waiting for the start of the show Acting like an actor is easy If you can let go

Someday something will find you A magical feeling you could not foresee A feeling so devastating From that moment on your life's a comedy And suddenly you're light as a feather You're falling like a leaf from a tree The things you thought you needed are fading Your reason to be

Owner of a lonely heart Owner of a lonely heart Much better than a Owner of a broken heart Owner of a lonely heart Owner of a lonely heart

Don't Stop - Fleetwood Mac

If you wake up and don't want to smile,
If it takes just a little while,
Open your eyes and look at the day,
You'll see things in a different way.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Why not think about times to come,
And not about the things that you've done,
If your life was bad to you,
Just think what tomorrow will do.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

All I want is to see you smile,
If it takes just a little while,
I know you don't believe that it's true,
I never meant any harm to you.

Don't stop thinking about tomorrow,
Don't stop, it'll soon be here,
It'll be better than before,
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone.

Don't you look back,
Don't you look back.

How to Save a Life - The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God, he hears you And pray to God, he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life

Addicted To Bass
Puretone

I've got two pale hands up against the window pane
I'm shaking with the heat of my need again
Starts in my feet, reverbs up to my brain
There's nothing I can do to revert the gain
I'm looking down to the street below
There's nothing in the way they move to show
They too know what I know,
They too hunger for the beast below

Listening to the radio I feel so out of place
There's a certain something missing that the treble can't erase
I know you can't tell just by looking at my face
But what about my weakness
I'm totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow(x2)

There's nothing I can do to be cool
I don't sleep till I've had my fuel
It frustrates if I'm deprived
A hunger that grates from deep inside
I feel like I'm doing time
Imprisoned by dependence on a rhythm sublime
In my mind I must overcome the need to define
Solitary silence of a faceless crime

Standing by the stereo I'm feeling so alone
With my back against the speaker and I'm moving on my own
Surrounded by so many and they're staring at my face
They're picking up my problem
I'm totally addicted to base
a-waowa-ow

Your base line is shooting up my spine
a-waowa-ow
Your base line has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind

Sunrise at my window, I look down on the street
People I see everywhere are tapping their feet
Suddenly I realise in that look that I was wrong
Everybody's grooving to their own song

Down on the scene below
There's something in the way they move to show
They too know what I know
They too hunger for the beast below

Rhythm's running over me to wash away my fears
The back beat of humanity it sweetens my tears
There's something that's connected us down throughout the years
No need to feel so lonely
Everyone's addicted to base
a-waowa-ow(x2)

(a-waowa-ow)

Your base line is shooting up my spine
(Your base line)
Your bass line has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Your bass line is shooting up my spine
(a-waowa-ow)
Your base line has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Your base line is shooting up my spine
(a-waowa-ow)
Your base line has got me feeling fine
It's filling up my mind
Your base line is shooting up my mind
(your base line)

Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band

Freeze Frame!

I could see it was a rough cut Tuesday Slow motion weekdays stare me down Her lipstick reflex got me wound There were no defects to be found Snapshot image froze without a sound

Thursday morning was a hot flash factor Her face still focused in my mind Test strip proof sheet, love is hard to find Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind Stop time heart for me, if she's not mine

(Freeze-Frame!) Freeze-Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Now Freeze!

Now I'm looking at a flashback Sunday Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear Close-up darkroom, sweet talk in my ear Her hot spot love for me is strong This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong

(Freeze-Frame!) Freeze-Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Now Freeze!

Shoot, shoot Shoot, shoot Shoot, shoot

(Freeze-Frame!) Freeze-Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Freeze Frame! (Freeze-Frame!) Now Freeze!

Born to Be Wild - Steppenwolf

Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing in the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darling
Gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and
Explode into space

Like a true nature child
We were born
Born to be wild
We have climbed so high
Never want to die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild

I Will Not Go Quietly - Don Henley

Woke up with a heavy head
And I thought about leavin' town
I could have died if I wanted to
Slipped over the edge and drowned
But, oh no, baby, I won't give up so easy
Too many tire tracks in the sands of time
Too many love affairs that stop on a dime, well
Ah, baby, think it's time to make some changes 'round here

Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
Oh, no, baby, I will not lie down

I'm brave enough to be crazy
I'm strong enough to be weak
I see all these heroes with feet of clay
Whose mighty ships have sprung a leak
And I want you to tell me, darlin'
Just what do you believe in now"

Well, c'mon over here, baby
'Bout to gimme a heart attack
I wanna wrap my lovin' arms
Around the small of your back
Yeah, and I'm gonna pull you, pull you, pull you
Pull you right up close to me

Yeah, we're gonna tear it up
We gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
Oh, no no no, I will not lie down

Turn this thing around
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
I will not go quietly
I will not lie down
No, I will not lie down, no

Well, don't you ever get lonely"
Don't you ever get down"
Don't you ever get tired"
Of all the wicked tongues in this town"
Ooh, baby, I just wanna take you away from here

I ain't no tiger
Ain't no little lamb
Suppose you tell me, mama
Who do you think I think I am
Oh baby, don't you give a damn"

Yeah, I'm gonna tear it up
Gonna trash it up
Gonna round it up
Gonna shake it up
No, baby, I will not lie down

Closer To The Heart - Rush

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

Philosophers and ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart
Closer to the heart

You can be the captain
I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny

They Say It's Wonderful - Frank Sinatra (Irving Berlin)

They say that falling in love is wonderful It's wonderful, so they say

And with a moon up above, it's wonderful It's wonderful, so they tell me

I can't recall who said it I know I never read it I only know they tell me that love is grand And

The thing that's known as romance is wonderful, wonderful In every way, so they say

To leave your house some morning And without any warning You're stopping people, shouting that love is grand And

To hold a girl in your arms is wonderful, wonderful In every way So they say

Crack the Shutters - Snow Patrol

You cool your bed warm hands down On the broken radiator When you lay them freezing on me I mumble can you wake me later But I don't really want you to stop And you know it so it doesn't stop you You run your hands from my neck To my chest

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you

It's been minutes, it's been days, It's been all I will remember Happy lost in your hair And the cold side of the pillow Your hills and valleys Are mapped by my intrepid fingers And in a naked slumber I dream all this again

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you

Crack the shutters open wide I want to bathe you in the light of day And just watch you as the rays Tangle up around your face and body I could sit for hours Finding new ways to be awed each minute 'Cause the daylight seems to want you Just as much as I want you

Supertramp - The Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.

A song for the Granger clan, from my all-time favorite band...

One - U2

Is it getting better" Or do you feel the same" Will it make it easier on you now" You got someone to blame You say...

One love One life When it's one need In the night

One love We get to share it Leaves you, baby, if you Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth" You act like you never had love And you want me to go without" Well it's...

Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...

Have you come here for forgiveness" Have you come to raise the dead" Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head"

Did I ask too much" More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got

We're one But we're not the same Will we Hurt each other Then we do it again

You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law

You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt

One love One blood One life You got to do what you should

One life With each other Sisters Brothers

One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other

One....life

One

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day Nothing heals me like you do Nothing heals me like you do

And when somebody knows you well Well, there's no comfort like that When somebody needs you Well, there's no drug like that

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day Nothing heals me like you do Keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day Nothing heals me like you do

When l'm home, curled in your arms And I'm safe again I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep To the sound of London Rain

So keep me, keep me in your bed all day, all day Nothing heals me like you do Keep me in your bed all day, all day Nothing heals me like you do Nothing heals me like you do

A song for Christmas...

I Believe in Father Christmas - Greg Lake

They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead, it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin birth

I remember one Christmas morning A winter's light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell And that Christmas tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story Til I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked to the sky with excited eyes Then I woke with a yawn In the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear

They said there'd be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah, Noel, be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas we get, we deserve

In My Daughter's Eyes - Martina McBride

In my daughter's eyes
I am a hero
I am strong and wise
And I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle god gave to me
Gives me strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
How it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hanging on when your heart is had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
And though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see
How happy she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

Start Me Up - Rolling Stones

If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop
I've been running hot
You got me ticking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up I'll never stop

You make a grown man cry
Spread out the oil, the gasoline
I walk smooth, ride in a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If you start it up
Kick on the starter give it all you got, you got, you got
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats
If you rough it up
If you like it you can slide it up, slide it up

Don't make a grown man cry
My eyes dilate, my lips go green
My hands are greasy
She's a mean, mean machine
Start it up

If start me up
Give it all you got
You got to never, never, never stop
Never, never
Slide it up

You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
Start it up
Love the day when we will never stop, never stop
Never stop, never stop
Tough me up
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You, you, you make a grown man cry
You, you make a dead man come
You, you make a dead man come

A Wet Sheet And A Flowing Sea (Traditional Folk)

A wet sheet and a flowing sea, A wind that follows fast, And fills the white and rustling sail, And bends the gallant mast, And bends the gallant mast, my boys! While like an eagle free, Away the good ship flies, And leaves Columbia on our lee. Oh! Give me a wet sheet, A flowing sea, And a wind that follows fast, And fills the white and rustling sail And bends the gallant mast

Oh, for a soft and gentle wind, I heard a fair one cry, But give to me the roaring breeze, And the white waves heaving high; And white waves heaving high, my boys! The good ship tight and free; The world of waters is our home, And merry men are we. Oh! Give me a wet sheet, A flowing sea, And a wind that follows fast, And fills the white and rustling sail And bends the gallant mast

There's a tempest in yon horned moon, And lightning in yon cloud, And hard the music, mariners, The wind is piping loud; The wind is piping loud, my boys! The lightning flashes free, While the hollow oak our palace is, Our heritage the sea. Oh! Give me a wet sheet, A flowing sea, And a wind that follows fast, And fills the white and rustling sail And bends the gallant mast

Moondance - Van Morrison

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are fallin' To the sound of the breezes that blow An' I'm trying to please to the callin' Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love" Can I just make some more romance with you, my love"

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know now the time is just right And straight in to my arms you will run

And when you come, my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then, all my dreams will come true, dear There and then, I will make you my own

And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love" Can I just make some more romance with you, my love"

Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies

And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart strings that play soft and low

And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love" Can I just make some more romance with you, my love"

One more moon dance with you In the moon light, on a magic night All the moon light, on a magic night Can I just have one more moondance with you, my love?

More Than Words Extreme

Saying "I love you? Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want you Not to say, but if you only knew how easy It would be to show me how you feel

More than words Is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying "I love you?

More than words

Now but I've tried to talk to you And make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes And just reach out your hands And touch me Hold me close, don't ever let me go

More than words Is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me 'Cause I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real

What would you say if I took those words away When you couldn't make things new Just by saying "I love you?

Come Sail Away - Styx

I'm sailing away Set an open course for the Virgin Sea 'Cause I've got to be free Free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board, I'm the captain So climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea Reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

We lived happily forever So the story goes But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said

They said, "Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me babe Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me"

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies

Singing, come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me...

One Hundred Years - Five for Fighting

I'm fifteen for a moment Caught in between ten and twenty And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are

I'm twenty two for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars

Fifteen, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live

I'm thirty three for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm of age A kid on the way A family on my mind

I'm forty five for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life

Fifteen, there's still time for you Time to buy, time to lose yourself Within a morning star Fifteen, I'm all right with you Fifteen, there's never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live

Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye Sixty seven is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on

I'm ninety nine for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are

Fifteen, there's still time for you Twenty two I feel her too Thirty three you're on your way Every day's a new day

Fifteen, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey fifteen, there's never a wish better than this When you only got hundred years to live

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes

Incompatible, it don't matter though 'cos someone's bound to hear my cry Speak out if you do You're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable Is already in my life" Right in front of me Or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold Who knows how to love you without being told Somebody tell me why I'm on my own If there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end How do I find the perfect fit There's enough for everyone But I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold Who knows how to love you without being told Somebody tell me why I'm on my own If there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory They're all good but not the permanent one

Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon it's hanging tyre
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

I can't seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Can't relax
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can't even finish it.
You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?
Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu'elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ....OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they're not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu'est Que C'est
Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Obsession - Simple Minds

You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am your possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still I will not accept defeat

I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative

Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A cir***stance
In your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness
Has turned to badness
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul
My life is trembling
I have no control

I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

Numb - Linkin Park

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me,
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you.
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take.

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

And I know
I may end up failing too.
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you.

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there,
Become so tired, so much more aware.
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you.

I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there.
(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

Lonesome Loser - Little River Band

Have you heard about the lonesome loser Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time Have you heard about the lonesome loser He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Sit down, take a look at yourself Don't you want to be somebody Someday somebody's gonna see inside You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Have you heard about the lonesome loser Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time Have you heard about the lonesome loser He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

Unlucky in love Least that's what they say He lost his head And he gambled his heart away He still keeps searching Though there's nothing left Staked his heart and lost Now he has to pay the cost

Have you heard about the lonesome loser Beaten by the Queen of Hearts every time Have you heard about the lonesome loser He's a loser, but he still keeps on tryin'

"It's okay," he smiles and says Though this loneliness is driving him crazy He don't show what goes on in his head But if you watch very close, you'll see it all

Sit down, take a look at yourself Don't you want to be somebody Someday somebody's gonna see inside You have to face up, you can't run and hide

Hitch A Ride - Boston

Day is night in New York City
Smoke like water runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living thing that's died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh, yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
I've got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

Stone Sour - Through the Glass

"Through Glass"


I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel" That is the question
But I forget...you don't expect an easy answer
When something like a soul becomes
Initialized and folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect a bit of hope
So while you're outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what you're staring at is me

Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real" So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
When thought came from the heart
It never did right from the start
Just listen to the noises
(Null and void instead of voices)
Before you tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
And all I know is that it feels like forever
When no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you
And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That lie to you...yeah-ah

I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
Oh, god it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your head

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass...
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever
Feels like home, sitting all alone inside your heaaaaddd

And it's the starrrssss
The sttarrrsss
That shine for you...yeah-ah
And it's the starrrssss

I Ain't Missing You - John Waite

Every time I think of you I always catch my breath And I'm still standing here And you're miles away

And I'm wondering why you left And there's a storm that's raging Through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles And it always makes me smile

I spend my time thinking about you And it's almost driving me wild And there's a heart that's breaking Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone away I ain't missing you No matter what I might say

There's a message in the wild And I'm sending you this signal tonight You don't know how desperate I've become And it looks like I'm losing this fight

In your world I have no meaning Though I'm trying hard to understand And it's my heart that's breaking Down this long distance line tonight

I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone away I ain't missing you No matter what my friends say

And there's a message that I'm sending out Like a telegraph to your soul And if I can't bridge this distance Stop this heartbreak overload

I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone away I ain't missing you No matter what my friends say I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you

I keep lying to myself And there's a storm that's raging Through my frozen heart tonight

I ain't missing you at all Since you've been gone away I ain't missing you No matter what my friends say Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you

I ain't missing you, I keep lying to myself Ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you

Ain't missing you, oh no No matter what my friends might say I ain't missing you

When you take me in your arms and talk romance My heart starts doing the St. Vitus" dance And I'm pantin' Ohh and I'm shakin'

A chill and a fever, so I've been told Makes your head spin around and your feet run cold I got fever, yeah Fever, yeah, I burn forsooth

I feel like I've been run right through the mill And I can't move around and I can't stand still I'm Bo Diddley Oh, you got me shakin' I'm so jittery That's right, you got me shakin'

Well Samson was a mighty good man Strongest in his day (Then along came Delilah and clipped his wig) And it looks like you took me the same old way So I'm nervous Oh and I'm shakin' Alright, you got me nervous Yeah I'm shakin' and jumpin'

A storm rocks a ship on a sea The wind shakes the leaves on a tree And I'm a nervous wreck and I'm all shook up And that's what you're doin' to me right now And I'm jumpin' That's right, you got me shakin' Ohh and I'm jumpin' That's right, you got me shakin' Ohh, you got me shakin' That's right, you got me nervous But now I'm shakin' Ohh, you got me shakin'

I Bruise Easily - Natasha Bedingfield

My skin is like a map Of where my heart has been And I cant hide the marks Its not a negative thing So I let down my guard Drop my defences down by my clothes I'm learning to fall With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily So be gentle when you handle me There's a mark you leave Like a love heart carved on a tree I bruise easily Can't scratch the surface Without moving me underneath I bruise easily I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints On a glass of wine Do you know you're leaving them All over this heart of mine too But if I never take this leap of faith I'll never know So im learning to fall With no safety net to cushion the blow

I bruise easily So be gentle when you handle me There's a mark you leave Like a love heart carved on a tree I bruise easily Can't scratch the surface Without moving me underneath I bruise easily I bruise easily

Anyone who can touch you Can hurt you or heal you Anyone who can reach you Can love you or leave you

So be gentle...

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes; some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life, too
For I can't help falling in love with you

Lullabye - Billy Joel

Goodnight my angel, time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
Then you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are
I never will be far away

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep, inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me

Goodnight my angel, now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die
That's how you and I will be

Oh, can't you tell by the way I run
Every time you make eyes at me

You cry and moan and say it will work out
But honey child, I've got my doubts
You can't see the forest for the trees

Oh, don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
For any person place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me

So good-bye, I'll be leaving
I see no sense in this crying and grieving
We'll both live a lot longer
If you live without me

Oh, don't get me wrong
It's not that I knock it
It's just that I am not in the market

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of

I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much the things you say to me
It's not the things you do
It's how I feel each time you're close to me
That keeps me close to you

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's not so much your pretty face I see
It's not the clothes you wear
It's more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

It's hard to tell you all the love I'm feeling
That's just not my style
You've got a way to send my senses reeling
Every time you smile

You are the woman that I've always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart
I saw your face and that's the last I've seen of my heart

I Loved Her First - Heartland

Look at the two of you dancing that way Lost in the moment and each others face So much in love your alone in this place Like there's nobody else in the world I was enough for her not long ago I was her number one, she told me so And she still means the world to me just so you know So be careful when you hold my girl

Time changes everything Life must go on And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep And I prayed that she'd find you someday But it's still hard to give her away I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you Be the same freckle face kid that I knew The one that I read all those fairy tales to And tucked into bed all those nights

And I knew the first time I saw you with her It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first And a place in my heart will always be hers From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep And I prayed that she'd find you someday But it's still hard to give her away I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed When she first smiled at me I knew the love of a father runs deep Someday you might know what I'm going through When a miracle smiles up at you I loved her first

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - Carole King

Tonight you're mine completely,
You give your love so sweetly,
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes,
But will you love me tomorrow"

Is this a lasting treasure,
Or just a moment's pleasure,
Can I believe the magic of your sighs,
Will you still love me tomorrow"

Tonight with words unspoken,
You said that I'm the only one,
But will my heart be broken,
When the night
Meets the morning sun.

I'd like to know that your love,
Is love I can be sure of,
So tell me now and I won't ask again,
Will you still love me tomorrow"
Will you still love me tomorrow"

Garden Party

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends A chance to share old memories and play our songs again When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air 'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came No one heard the music, we didn't look the same I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck

But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah) lot-in-dah-dah-dah

But an unexpected way On this unexpected day Could it mean this is where I belong It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart searched for so long And it is you I have loved all along

There were times I ran to hide Afraid to show the other side Alone in the night without you

But now I know just who you are And I know you hold my heart Finally this is where I belong It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart searched for so long And it is you I have loved all along

Over and over I'm filled with emotion Your love, it rushes through my veins

And I am filled With the sweetest devotion As I, I look into your perfect face

It's no more mystery It is finally clear to me You're the home my heart searched for so long And it is you I have loved It is you I have loved It is you I have loved all along

Tommy's theme song... Let's Live for Today - The Grass Roots

When I think of all the worries people seem to find And how they're in a hurry to complicate their mind By chasing after money and dreams that can't come true I'm glad that we are different, we've better things to do May others plan their future, I'm busy lovin' you, 1-2-3-4 Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Live for today

We were never meant to worry the way that people do And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you We'll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can, 2-3-4 Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Live for today

Baby, I need to feel you inside of me I got to feel you deep inside of me Baby please come close to me I got to have you now, please, please, please Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin' Gimme some-a lovin', gimme some-a lovin' Baby gimme some-a lovin' Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin' Gimme some-a lovin, I need all your lovin' Give me some love, now I need all your lovin' Sha la la la la la Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today And don't worry 'bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today.

One of These Nights - Eagles

One of these nights One of these crazy old nights We're gonna find out, pretty mama What turns on your lights The full moon is calling The fever is high And the wicked wind whispers and moans

You got your demons You got desires Well, I got a few of my own

Someone to be kind to In Between the dark and the light Coming right behind you Swear I'm gonna find you One of these nights

One of these dreams One of these lost and lonely dreams We're gonna find one One that really screams

I've been searching for the daughter of the devil himself I've been searching for an angel in white I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both And I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight

Loneliness will blind you In between the wrong and the right Coming right behind you Swear I'm gonna find you One of these nights

One of these nights In between the dark and the light Coming right behind you Swear I'm gonna find you Get ya, baby, one of these nights One of these nights

Make It With You - Bread

Hey, have you ever tried Really reaching out for the other side I may be climbing on rainbows But baby, here goes

Dreams, they're for those who sleep Life is for us to keep And if you're wondering what this song is leading to I want to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl

No, you don't know me well In every little thing only time will tell But you believe the things that I do And we'll see it through

Life can be short or long Love can be right or wrong And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through I'd like to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl

Baby, you know that dreams, they're for those who sleep Life is for us to keep And if I chose the one I'd like to help me through I'd like to make it with you I really think that we could make it, girl

For My Lady - The Moody Blues

My boat sails stormy seas Battles oceans filled with tears At last my port's in view Now that I've discovered you

Oh I'd give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady

As life goes drifting by Like a breeze she'll gently sigh And slowly bow her head Then you'll hear her softly cry

Oh I'd give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady

Words that you say when we're alone Though actions speak louder than words But all I can say is I love you so To drive away all my hurt

Oh I'd give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady

Set sail before the sun Feel the warmth that's just begun Share each and every dream They belong to everyone

Oh I'd give my life so lightly For my gentle lady Give it freely and completely To my lady

Jon's advice to his kid sister...

Love Changes Everything - Andrew Lloyd Webber

Love, love changes everything Hands and faces, earth and sky Love, love changes everything How you live and how you die

Love, love can make the summer fly Or a night seem like a lifetime Yes love, love changes everything Now I tremble at your name Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Love, love changes everything Days are longer, words mean more Love, love changes everything Pain is deeper than before

Love will turn your world around And that world will last forever Yes love, love changes everything Brings you glory, brings you shame Nothing in the world will ever be the same

Off into the world we go Planning futures, shaping years Love comes in and suddenly all our wisdom disappears

Love makes fools of everyone All the rules we made are broken Yes love, love changes everyone Live or perish in its flame Love will never never let you be the same Love will never never let you be the same

No Matter What - Badfinger

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl"
Ooh girl, won't you?

Knock down the old gray wall
And be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl?
Ooh girl, want you

Knock down the old gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you

Ooh girl, you girl
Want you
Ooh girl, you girl

Stranger in Paradise - Kismet Soundtrack

Oh, why do the leaves on the mulberry tree Whisper differently now And why is the nightingale singing at noon On the mulberry bow For some most mysterious reason This isn't the garden I know No, it's paradise now That was only a garden A moment ago

Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's a danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside An angel like you

I saw your face And I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare Somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know There's a chance that you care

Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To the stranger in paradise And tell him That he need be A stranger no more

I saw your face And I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare Somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know (Till the moment I know) There's a chance that you care (There's a chance that you care)

Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To the stranger in paradise And tell me that I may be A stranger no more

I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Deathcab for Cutie

Love of mine, some day you will die But I'll be close behind I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black And I held my tongue as she told me, "Son, fear is the heart of love." So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about 'Cause we'll hold each other soon In the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the "No"'s on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark

Kaylee and Taylor's first dance...

Have I Told You Lately
(Written by Van Morrison; Performed by Rod Stewart)

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

For the morning sun in all it's glory
greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
and somehow you make it better
ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
Fill my heart with gladness
take away all my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
and it's yours and it's mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
we should give thanks and pray
to the one, to the one

And have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
take away my sadness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness
ease my troubles that's what you do
Take away all my sadness
fill my life with gladness

Tonight's The Night - Rod Stewart

Stay away from my window Stay away from my back door, too Disconnect the telephone line Relax baby and draw that blind

Kick off your shoes and sit right down Loosen off that pretty French gown Let me pour you a good long drink Ooh, baby, don't you hesitate cause

Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright Cause I love you, girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

C'mon, angel, my hearts on fire Don't deny your man's desire You'd be a fool to stop this tide Spread your wings and let me come inside

Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright Cause I love you, girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

Don't say a word, my virgin child Just let your inhibitions run wild The secret is about to unfold Upstairs before the night's too old

Tonight's the night It's gonna be alright Cause I love you, girl Ain't nobody gonna stop us now

The song Tommy and Lena surfed to at their wedding...

Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys Wouldn't it be nice if we were older Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong

You know it's gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new And after having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never-ending Wouldn't it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do We could be married And then we'd be happy

Wouldn't it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But let's talk about it Wouldn't it be nice

Good night, my baby Sleep tight, my baby

Changing Josh's theme song to something that fits him better. This song fits him and Dru to a T... Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

We'll do it all Everything On our own

We don't need Anything Or anyone

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world"

I don't quite know How to say How I feel

Those three words Are said too much They're not enough

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world"

Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads

I need your grace To remind me To find my own

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world"

Forget what we're told Before we get too old Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where Confused about how as well Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world"

I Just Love You - Five For Fighting

Lonely, yeah, that's the word I leave my heart when I leave her The days go on forever and the nights do, too

One evening out on the road A half a world away from home I thought she was sleeping When the call came through

I said, darling, it's late, is everything okay? Silence took over the room Til she said

I....I just love you I don't know why, I just do When are you coming home I'm coming home soon And I just love you, too

Lonely lets me be For a while she sets me free I close my eyes and I dream of her

She's lost in my arms Her head on my heart And softly she whispers the words

I....I just love you I don't know why, I just do When are you coming home I'm coming home soon And I just love you, too

I'll never stop being amazed How my four-year old girl knows exactly what to say

I....I just love you I don't know why, I just do When are you coming home I'm coming home soon Cause I just love you, too

Grown-Up Christmas List - Amy Grant

Do you remember me I sat upon your knee I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown-up now And still need help somehow I'm not a child But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish My grown-up Christmas list Not for myself But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list

As children we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely Wrapped beneath our tree

Well, heaven surely knows That packages and bows Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list

What is this illusion called The innocence of youth Maybe only in our blind belief Can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart That wars would never start And time would heal all hearts Everyone would have a friend And right would always win And love would never end This is my grown-up Christmas list

Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.

Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Just like that Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah.

So hard to find my way Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I'm overcome thinking about Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl.

Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before, Just what the truth is I can't say anymore.

'Cause I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people, Some hand in hand, Just what I'm going thru They can understand.

Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend, Just what you want to be You will be in the end,

And I love you, Yes, I love you, Oh, how, I love you. Oh, how, I love you.

Nights in white satin, Never reaching the end, Letters I've written, Never meaning to send.

They want you to be Jesus They'll go down on one knee But they'll want their money back If you're alive at thirty-three And you're turning tricks With your crucifix You're a star

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack
Lyrics & Music by Ewan MacColl

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies, my love
To the dark and the endless skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command, my love

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And last 'til the end of time, my love
And it would last 'til the end of time, my love

The first time ever I saw your face
Your face
Your face
Your face

Wildflower - Skylark

She's faced the hardest times you can imagine And many times her eyes fought back the tears And when her youthful world was about to fall in Each time her slender shoulders Bore the weight of all her fears And a sorrow no one hears Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady Let her dream, for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

And if by chance that I should hold her Let me hold her for a time But it allowed just one possession I would pick her from the garden to be mine

Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken And sleep's the only freedom that she knows And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes And a silent wind still blows that only she can hear And so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady Let her dream, for she's a child Let the rain fall down upon her She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Sailing - Christopher Cross

Well, it's not far down to paradise, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Fantasy, it gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Well, it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see
Believe me

Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

May the good Lord be with you Down every road you roam And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home And may you grow to be proud Dignified and true And do unto others As you'd have done to you Be courageous and be brave And in my heart you'll always stay Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young

May good fortune be with you May your guiding light be strong Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain and in my heart you will remain Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young Forever Young

And when you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well For all the wisdom of a lifetime No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose I'm right behind you, win or lose Forever Young, Forever Young Forever Young ,Forever Young Forever Young, Forever Young For, Forever Young, Forever Young

This could probably work for several couples here, though I've chosen it with Dom and Elle in mind. It's too pretty not to share.

I'll Walk Beside You - Luka Bloom and Cherish the Ladies
(Alan Murray/Edward Lockton)

I'll walk beside you through the world today
While dreams and songs and flowers bless your way
I'll look into your eyes and hold your hand
I'll walk beside you through the golden land

I'll walk beside you through the world tonight
Beneath the starry skies ablaze with light
And in your heart loves's tender words I'll hide
I'll walk beside you through the eventide

I'll walk beside you through the passing years
Through days of cloud and sunshine, joy and tears
And when the great call comes, though sunset gleams
I'll walk beside you through the land of dreams.

Coming Out of the Dark - Gloria Estefan

Why be afraid if I'm not alone
Though life is never easy, the rest is unknown
Up to now for me it's been hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe

Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now
It's shining on me
Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan
And I'll be so much stronger holding your hand
Step by step I'll make it through, I know I can
It may not make it easier, but I have felt you
Near all the way

Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now
And it's shining on me
Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me

Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Forever and ever, I'll stand on the rock
Can't nobody stop me from watching
Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Love is all it takes, no matter what we face

Coming out of the dark,
I see the light, I feel love shinning on me
Shining on me
Coming out of the dark, I know the love that saved me
You're sharing, you're sharing with me, sharing with me, sharing with me

Coming out of the dark,
Making it into the light
Your love shining on me, shining on me, shining on me
Coming out of the dark,
I see the light, I see the light
Shining, shining, shining on me
Shining, shining
Coming out of the dark
I see the light now
Yes, I see the light

A song for James and Ashlyn ...

Hero - Enrique Iglesias

Let me be your hero.

Would you dance if I asked you to dance"
Would you run and never look back"
Would you cry if you saw me crying"
Would you save my soul tonight"

Would you tremble if I touched your lips"
Would you laugh' Oh, please tell me this.
Now would you die for the one you love"
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear that you'll always be mine"
Would you lie" Would you run and hide"
Am I in too deep" Have I lost my mind"
I don't care. You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just want to hold you.
I just want to hold you, oh, yeah.

Am I in too deep" Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care. You're here tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain, oh, yeah.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend - Marilyn Monroe/Christina Aguilera

A kiss on the hand
May be quite continental,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

A kiss may be grand
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat.

Men grow cold
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our charms in the end.

But square-cut or pear-shaped,
These rocks don't lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black Starr!
Frost Gormham!
Talk to me Harry Winston.
Tell me all about it!

I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.

And I think affairs
That you must keep Masonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes.

Time rolls on,
And youth is gone,
And you can't straighten up when you bend.

But stiff back
Or stiff knees,
You stand straight at Tiffany's.

Diamonds, diamonds,
I don't mean rhinestones,
but diamonds are a girl's best ....best friend.

Jax and Izzy's song ... Happy Together - The Turtles

Imagine me and you, I do I think about you day and night It's only right To think about the girl you love And hold her tight So happy together

If I should call you up, invest a dime And you say you belong to me And ease my mind Imagine how the world could be So very fine So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me No matter how they tossed the dice It had to be The only one for me is you And you for me So happy together

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you for all my life When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue for all my life

Me and you and you and me No matter how they tossed the dice It had to be The only one for me is you And you for me So happy together

Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba, ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Me and you and you and me No matter how they tossed the dice It had to be The only one for me is you And you for me So happy together

So happy together And how is the weather? So happy together We're happy together So happy together We're happy together So happy together So happy together

Our Last Summer - Abba

The summer air was soft and warm The feeling right, the Paris night Did it's best to please us And strolling down the Elysee We had a drink in each cafe And you You talked of politics, philosophy and I Smiled like Mona Lisa We had our chance It was a fine and true romance

I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain

We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass By the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh yes Those crazy years, that was the time Of the flower-power But underneath we had a fear of flying Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand

Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day, worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play

And now you're working in a bank The family man, the football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Yet you're the hero of my dreams

I can still recall our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain I can still recall our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants We were living for the day, worries far away...

This Thing Called Love - Queen

This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Crazy little thing called love

This thing (this thing)
Called love (called love)
It cries (like a baby)
In a cradle all night
It swings (woo woo)
It jives (woo woo)
It shakes all over like a jelly fish
I kinda like it
Crazy little thing called love

There goes my baby
She knows how to rock 'n' roll
She drives me crazy
She gives me hot and cold fever
Then she leaves me in a cool cool sweat

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat, hitch-hike
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little thing called love

I gotta be cool, relax, get hip
And get on my tracks
Take a back seat (ah hum), hitch-hike (ah hum)
And take a long ride on my motorbike
Until I'm ready (ready Freddie)
Crazy little thing called love

This thing called love, I just can't handle it
This thing called love, I must get round to it
I ain't ready
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Crazy little thing called love
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah
Crazy little thing called love, yeah, yeah

Open Arms - Journey

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are, by my side

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

Now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you

I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are

I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are

Slipping Through My Fingers - Abba

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what?s in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table Barely awake I let precious time go by Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to the wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't And why, I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what?s in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Little surfer, little one Made my heart come all undone Do you love me, do you surfer girl Surfer girl, my little surfer girl

At Last - Etta James (Mack Gordon/Harry Warren)

At last my love has come along My lonely days are over and life is like a song

At last the skies above are blue My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you

I found a dream that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill I've never known

You smiled, You smiled and then the spell was cast And here we are in Heaven For you are mine at last

Into The Mystic - Van Morrison

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...

Too late to stop now...

We're Going to Be Friends - The White Stripes

Fall is here, hear the yell Back to school, ring the bell Brand new shoes, walking blues Climb the fence, books and pens I can tell that we are gonna be friends I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee Through the park and by the tree We will rest upon the ground And look at all the bugs we found Safely walk to school without a sound Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else We walked to school all by ourselves There's dirt on our uniforms From chasing all the ants and worms We clean up and now it's time to learn We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell Nouns, and books, and show and tell Playtime we will throw the ball Back to class, through the hall Teacher marks our height against the wall Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time pass We don't notice anything We sit side by side in every class Teacher thinks that I sound funny But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed When silly thoughts go through my head About the bugs and alphabet And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet That you and I will walk together again I can tell that we are gonna be friends Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

Beach Baby - First Class


Do you remember back in old L.A. (oh oh oh)
When everybody drove a Chevrolet (oh oh oh)
Whatever happened to the boy next door
The sun-tanned crew-cut all-American male

Remember dancing at the high school hop (oh oh oh)
The dress I ruined with the soda pop (oh oh oh)
I didn't recognize the girl next-door
The beat up sneakers and the pony tail

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand
Give me something that I can remember
Just like before, we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby, there on the sand
From July to the end of September
Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day

Mmm, I never thought that it would end (ooh ooh)
Mmm, and I was everybody's friend (ooh ooh)
Long hot days
Blue sea haze
Jukebox plays
But now it's fading away

We couldn't wait for graduation day (oh oh, no)
We took the car and drove to San Jose (oh oh oh)
That's where you told me that you'd wear my ring
I guess you don't remember anything

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand (give me your hand)
Give me somethin' that I can remember (give me something to remember)
Just like before we can walk by the shore in the moonlight
Beach baby, beach baby, there on the sand (there on the sand)
From July to the end of September (from July to September)
Surfin' was fun, we'd be out in the sun every day

Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Do do, do do do do
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Do do, do do do do
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Do do, do do do do
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Do do, do do do do
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Beach baby, beach baby
Do do, do do do do
