Miniature Disasters - KT Tunstall

I don't want to be second best Don't want to stand in line Don't want to fall behind Don't want to get caught out Don't want to do without And the lesson I must learn Is that I've got to wait my turn

Looks like I got to be hot and cold I got to be taught and told Got to be good as gold But perfectly honest I think it would be good for me Coz it's a hindrance to my health I'm a stranger to myself

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes Bring me to my knees Well I must be my own master Or a miniature disaster will be It will be the death of me

I don't have to raise my voice Don't have to be underhand Just got to understand That it's gonna be up and down It's gonna be lost and found And I can't take to the sky Before I like it on the ground

And I need to be patient And I need to be brave Need to discover How I need to behave And I'll find out the answers When I know what to ask But I speak a different language And everybody's speaking too fast

Miniature disasters and minor catastrophoes Bring me to my knees

Well I must be my own master I've got to run a little faster I need to know I'll last if a little Miniature disaster hits me It could be the death of me

You May Be Right - Billy Joel

Friday night I crashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry Sunday came and trashed me out again I was only having fun Wasn't hurting anyone And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alive So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right

Remember how I found you there Alone in your electric chair I told you dirty jokes until you smiled You were lonely for a man I said take me as I am 'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile

Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you I might be as crazy as you say If I'm crazy then it's true That it's all because of you And you wouldn't want me any other way

You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for It's too late to fight It's too late to change me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right

You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right

If You're Gonna - Natasha Bedingfield

I got a short attention span
Can't sit around couch potato land
I wanna do all kinds of stuff
Talking about it's not enough
I wanna go to the extreme
I wanna stretch my limousine
I wanna take it way off road
Go where I'm not supposed to go

Life is music, play it louder

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then you better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then you better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

I like my food with chili in
I like to laugh 'til it turns in
I wanna stare fear in the face
I wanna take it all the way

Life is music, play it louder

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then you better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then you better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

If you're gonna jump, then jump far,
If you're gonna
If you're gonna hit the high notes, you gotta be a diva
If you're gonna play a guitar, you gotta play 'til you blister
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

No half-baked apples for my tea
It's hot or cold, no in between

If your gonna jump
If your gonna jump
If your gonna jump

If you're gonna jump, then jump far, fly like a sky diver
If you're gonna be a singer, then you better be a rockstar
If you're gonna be a driver, then you better drive a race car
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

If you're gonna jump, then jump far,
If you gonna
If you wanna hit the high notes, you gotta be a diva
If you're gonna play a guitar, you gotta play 'til you blister
'Cause I'm looking for a guard dog, not buying a chihuahua

This is a really old song, so I doubt many here know it, but I thought I'd post it anyway as it seems fitting, at least to Tony and Anya's back story.

Dance, Ballerina, Dance Music and lyrics by Carl Sigman and Bob Russell Sung by Nat King Cole

Dance, ballerina, dance and do your pirouette in rhythm with your aching heart. Dance, ballerina, dance You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part. Whirl, ballerina, whirl And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row. This is your moment, girl Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show. Once you said his love must wait its turn You wanted fame instead. I guess that's your concern We live and learn. And love is gone, ballerina, gone. So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance. Dance on and on and on. A thousand people here have come to see the show as round and round you go. So ballerina, dance. Dance, dance! Whirl, ballerina.

Once you said his love must wait its turn You wanted fame instead. I guess that's your concern We live and learn.

And love is gone, ballerina, gone. So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance. Dance on and on and on. A thousand people here have come to see the show as round and round you go. So ballerina, dance. Dance!

For Elena... 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 would not 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 my heart I couldn't 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.

Song of the King (Seven Fat Cows) - Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Weber

Well I was wandering along by the banks of the river When seven fat cows came up out of the Nile, uh-huh And right behind these fine healthy animals came Seve other cows, skinny and vile, uh-huh Well the thin cows ate the fat cows which I Thought would do them good, uh-huh But it didn't make them fatter like such A monster supper should

Well the thin cows were as thin As they had ever, ever, ever been Well this dream has got me baffled Hey, Joseph, won't you tell me what it means"

Well you know that kings ain't stupid But I don't have a clue So don't be cruel Joseph Help me I beg of you

Well I was standing doing nothing in a field out of town Whe I saw seven beautiful ears of corn, uh-huh They were ripe, they were golden and You've guessed it, Right behind them came seven other ears Tattered and torn, uh-huh

Well the bad corn ate the good corn They came up from behind yes they did Now Joseph here's the punch line It's really gonna blow your mind

Well the bad corn was As bad as it had ever, ever, ever been Well this dream has got me all shook up Treat me nice and tell me what it means

Hey, hey, hey Joseph Won't you tell poor old Pharaoh What does this crazy dream mean" Oh yeah

Too Much Time On My Hands - Styx

Sitting on this bar stool talking like a damn fool Got the twelve o'clock news blues And I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps And a bottle of cold brew Is it any wonder I'm not crazy' Is it any wonder I'm sane at all" Well, I'm so tired of losing - I got nothing to do and all day to do it I go out cruisin' but I've no place to go and all night to get there Is it any wonder I'm not a criminal" Is it any wonder I'm not in jail" Is it any wonder I've got ...

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away, ticking away from me Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands Too much time on my hands

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems Without even trying I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends That is, as long as I'm buying Is it any wonder I'm not the president" (He's not the president) Is it any wonder I'm null and void? Is it any wonder I've got ...

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away, ticking away from me Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands Too much time on my hands

For Mama Rosita, from her little boy ...

Mamma - Jerry Vale

Mamma Solo per te la mia canzone vola Mamma Sarai con me, tu non sarai piu sola! Quanto ti voglio bene Questo parole d'amore Che ti sospira il mio cuore Forse non s'usano piu Oh Mamma Ma la canzone mia piu bella sei, tu! Sei, tu, la viita per la vita non ti lascio mai pi"!

Mama, I miss the days when you were near to guide me, Mama, those happy days when you were here beside me.

Safe in the glow of your love, Sent from the heavens above, Nothing can ever replace The warmth of your tender embrace.

Oh Mamma Ma la canzone mia piu bella sei, tu! Sei, tu, la vita per la vita non ti lascio mai pi"! Mamma Mamma Mai piu!

A song that pretty much sums up Michael and Elena's story ...

All Of Me - John Legend

What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and you kicking me out You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down What's going on in that beautiful mind I'm on your magical mystery ride And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh oh

How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying you're beautiful too The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood You're my downfall, you're my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh oh

Give me all of you Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts Risking it all, though it's hard

'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you

I give you all of me And you give me all of you, oh oh

Back when I created the character of Yas, I called her my wild child. When I heard this song a couple years after her creation, I felt like it was written for her. From her gypsy soul to her messy hair to her colorful world, it was perfect. Also, as a bit of a visual flashback, this was my first Yas character portrait inspiration.

Wild Child - Kenny Chesney

Looks like royal in a thrift store dress. Keeps my heart and her hair a mess. She goes where the wind suggests she goes. Who knows" Got a spirit that can't be tamed. She's a calico pony on an open plain. I know I'll never be the same no more, for sure.

She's a wild child, got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style. She can't be tied down but for a while I'll be falling free and so alive, Might break my heart but God, she drives me wild, child.

You've never heard of her favorite band unless you been to Bonnaroo or Burning Man. She's Penny Lane in a Chevy van, she loves to love.

She loves me wild, child. Got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style. She can't be tied down but for a while I'll be falling free and so alive, Might break my heart but God, she drives me wild, child.

She'll be here until she runs. Some just have to chase the sun.

She's a wild child, got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style She can't be tied down but for a while I'll be falling free and so alive, Might break my heart but God, she drives me wild, child.

A kaleidoscope of colors in her mind, child. A touch of crazy hides behind her wild smile. So simple yet experimental, innocent but still a little wild child.
