For Once in My Life

Written by Orlando Murden and Ronald N. Miller
Performed by Stevie Wonder

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Oh, someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

Yeah, yeah, yeah

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before (not like it's hurt before)
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me

Ayy, ha-ha, ayy, yeah
(Someone who needs me)
Oh, baby, oh, baby

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me (for once in my life)
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore (I'm not alone anymore)

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who need me (someone who needs me)

Oh, for once in my life
(Somebody that needs me)
Yeah, somebody that needs me
(Somebody that needs me)
Ooh, baby
For once in my life

Lost Stars

Written by Nicky Southwood, Nick Lashley, Danielle Briseboise and Gregg Alexander
Performed by Kiera Knightley


Performed by Adam Levine

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see
Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality
Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

The Cover of the Rolling Stone

Written by Shel Silverstein
Performed by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

I don't believe it, ta, ah, ah, oh
Don't touch me
Hey Ray, hey Sugar
Tell 'em who we are

Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At 10, 000 dollars a show (right)
We take all kind of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (yeah!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
(That's a very, very good idea)

I got a freaky old lady name a Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Now, it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
(Hey, I know how - rock and roll!)

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who'd do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone (no!)
And we keep getting richer, but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one!)
(Stone) wanna see my smiling face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
On the cover of the Rolling

On the cover of the Rolling Stone (fresh shot, right up front, man, I can see it now)
(We'd be on the front, smilin', man, oh, beautiful!)

Revolution Earth

Written by Fred Schnieder, Kate Pierson, Keith Strickland and Robert Waldrop
Performed by The B-52s

Endless distance
Wildlife and stars
Blanket the night
You lying beside me, darling
Eyes wide open
While the wide arc of the globe is turning
We feel it moving through the dark
Hear the hills
Scrape the sky
And our eyes fill with the falling sparks

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

Frost on the jungle vine
Melting in sunshine (in summer time)
Snow on the mountain top
Piling high in loving cups!

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

You flying beside me, darling
Eyes open wide (eyes open wide)
On a voyage between dusk and dawn
Space and time

Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar

Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution - Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth

King of the Road

Written by Roger Miller
Perforemd by Roger Miller

Trailer's for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Third boxcar, midnight train
Destination Bangor, Maine
Old, worn out suit and shoes
I don't pay no union dues

I smoke old stogies I have found
Short, but not too big around
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

I know every engineer on every train
All of their children, and all of their names
And every handout in every town
Every lock that ain't locked, when no one's around

I sing, trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes

Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room
I'm a man of means by no means
King of the road

Trailers for sale or rent
Rooms to let, 50 cents
No phone, no pool, no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom buys...

Written by Prince Rogers Nelson
Performed by Prince

Don't worry, I won't hurt you
I only want you to have some fun

I was dreamin' when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin'
Could've sworn it was judgment day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin' everywhere
Tryin' to run from the destruction
You know I didn't even care

Say, say, 2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999

I was dreaming' when I wrote this

Oops, out of time

We could all die any day, aw
But before I'll let that happen
I'll dance my life away, oh-oh-oh

Glory Days

Written by Bruce Springsteen
Performed by Bruce Springsteen

Oh, yeah
Come on
Whoa
Huh

I had a friend, was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool, boy

Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was

Glory days
Well, they'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days

Alright

Well, there's a girl that lives up the block
Back in school, she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks
After she put her kids to bed

Her and her husband Bobby, well, they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking 'bout

Glory days
They'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days

rock it now

Think I'm going down to the well tonight
And I'm gonna drink 'til I get my fill
And I hope when I get old, I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will

Yeah, just sitting back
Trying to recapture a little of the glory of
Well, the time slips away
Leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of

Glory days
Yeah, they'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days

Well, they'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days

Well, alright, ooh yeah
Well, alright (alright)
Come on now (oh, yeah)
Well, alright (it's alright)
Ooh, yeah (oh, yeah)

Alright (alright)
Come on now (oh, yeah)
Woo-hoo (alright)
Woo-hoo (oh, yeah)
Woo-hoo (alright)
Woo-hoo (alright)

Alright, boys, keep it rockin' now
Keep on goin'
We're goin' for home now
Bring it home, yeah
Bring it home, oh, oh-oh
Alright, well, alright
Well alright, well alright
Well alright, well alright
Alright, alright, let's go

Where I Come From

Written by Alan Jackson
Performed by Alan Jackson

Well, I was rollin' wheels and shiftin' gears
'Round that Jersey Turnpike
Barney stopped me with his gun
Ten minutes after midnight
Said, "Sir, you broke the limit in this rusty ol' truck
I don't know about that accent, son
Just where did you come from?"

I said where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from, a lot of front porch sitin'
Where I come from, tryna make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
Where I come from

Well, I was south of Detroit city
I pulled in this country kitchen
To try their brand of barbecue
The sign said finger-lickin'
Well, I paid the tab and the lady asked me
How'd you like my biscuit
"I'll be honest with you, ma'am
It ain't like mama fixed it"

'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from, a lot of front porch pickin'
Where I come from, tryna make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
Where I come from

I was chasin' sun on 101
Somewhere around Ventura
And I lost a universal joint and I had to use my finger
This tall lady stopped and asked
If I had plans for dinner
Said, "No thanks, ma'am, back home
We like the girls that sing soprano"

'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from, a lot of front porch sitin'
Where I come from, tryna make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
Where I come from

Well, I was headin' home on 65
Somewhere around Kentucky
And the CB rang the bobtail rig
That's rollin' on like thunder
Well, I answered him and he asked me
"Aren't you from out in Tulsa "
"No, but you might've seen me there
I just dropped a load of salsa"

Where I come from, it's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from, a lot of front porch pickin'
Where I come from, tryna make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to Heaven
Where I come

Where I come from, yeah, it's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from, a lot of back porch pickin'
Where I come from, tryna make a livin'
And workin' hard to get to heaven

Where I come from
Where I come from
Yeah, where I come from
A lot of front porch sitiin'
Starin' up at heaven
Where I come from
Where I come from
Tryna make a livin'

Oh, where I come from
Where I come from

Performed by Bobby Darin

Splish-splash, I was taking a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
Rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everything was alright

Well, I stepped out the tub, put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel 'round me, and I opened the door
And then a splish-splash, I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know there was a party going on?

They was a-splishin' and a-splashin', reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin', rockin' and a-rollin', yeah

Dancin' on my living room rug, yeah
Flip flop, they was doing the bop
All the teens had the dancin' bug

There was Lollipop with-a Peggy Sue
Good golly, Miss Molly was-a even there, too
A-well-a, splish splash, forgot about the bath
I went and put my dancin' shoes on, yeah

I was a rollin' and a-strollin', reelin' with the feelin'
Movin' and a-groovin', splishin' and a-splashin', yeah

Yes, I was a-splishin' and a-splashin'
I was a-rollin' and a-strollin'
Hey, I was a-movin' and a-groovin'
Whoo, we was a-reelin' with the feelin', huh
It was a-rollin' and a-strollin', movin' with the groovin'
Splish-splash, yeah

Mmm, splishin' and a-splashin', one time

Stay

Written by Maurice Williams
Performed by Jackson Browne

People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play, just a little bit longer

Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song

Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please say you will
Say you will

Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer
Oh please, please stay just a little bit more

Now the promoter don't mind
And the roadies don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave this all behind and sing
One more song
